"You make it clear, who's dead?"

The tavernkeeper's hands trembled a little when he heard this, and the glass in his hand was a little unstable.

"It's your daughter!"

Syllable!

With a crisp crack, the boss pushed open the curtain on the side of the counter, almost instinctively, and ran out with the townsman despite the wind and rain.

Louisa glanced at Beatis and followed.

The tavernkeeper's daughter, the prop manager for this year's Halloween, died in the grass not far from Phantom Town.

The surrounding wildflowers bowed their heads under the rain, and some of the petals reached her cheeks in the wind, as if trying to wake up the one who would never wake up again.

Whiteth, who saw the corpse for the first time, covered her mouth tightly and suppressed the screams that were about to break through her reason.

The tavern keeper was half-kneeling in front of his daughter, his shoulders trembling, and the residents who came behind him held up a black umbrella for him, and the crowd whispered, some said mourning, some released their anger, some wept, and some began to worry about their future.

Louisa was the only one who remained calm, and she took out the short staff inlaid with several rubies, shielded Bettez from the rain, and held an umbrella for herself.

She crouched down slowly in front of the corpse.

The thin and deep scar on the corpse's neck, and the clean means of killing with that blow, could not be wrong, she only had to glance at such a technique, and the neat figure of that night appeared in front of her.

Aoi did it—they were sure.

Although the scent of rain and earth overshadowed the imperceptible aroma in the air, Beatis's keen senses captured it.

It was a musky aroma mixed with the smell of orchids, the magic scent that Louisa used to burn in her room.

"Huh?"

Louisa examines the body and suddenly discovers a piece of oiled paper in the pocket of the woman's jacket, which seems to contain something.

After taking it out and disassembling it, it was found to be a note, and the content on the note was very short, only two short words.

"Warning"

“！”

One of the residents saw the note and immediately stepped forward to snatch it.

"Alright, they're all gone! The mayor will deal with it right away! ”

He quickly slipped the note into the back pocket of his pants and drove away the crowd around him.

Some of the enthusiastic residents picked up the tavern keeper and carried him away, returning to the misty tavern, and the residents quietly withdrew as the crowd dispersed.

"Let's keep up with the man."

Before Bhatis could withdraw her gaze from the figure, Louisa took her wrist and followed the man.

There was still nothing unusual in her expression, as if she was used to seeing life and death.

Beatis didn't understand that Louisa was only two or three years older than her, and even though she often participated in battles, she didn't even show a trace of compassion when she saw such a scene.

Louisa, who gets along with her day and night, is not a moody person, she has a lot of emotions, she can laugh, she can get angry, she will also feel helpless about the things around her, she has her own opinions about everything she sees, but why is such a person so indifferent at this moment?

She couldn't figure it out, looking at her long hair fluttering in the wind, she could still smell the elegant magic fragrance.

"Louisa, you..."

She couldn't help but speak, but the other party didn't stop when she heard this, just turned his head and looked at her as usual.

"What's wrong, Xiaobai?"

Ah, I can't ask.

Do she want to ask her, why are you so calm when you see the corpse?

"Is it cold? Still tired? ”

Seeing that she didn't speak, Louisa asked.

"No, it's not."

Beatis hurriedly shook her head, understanding her thoughts.

"The first time I saw such a scene, I would be scared."

"It's a little... Aren't you afraid? ”

She was a little cautious and tentative, she wanted to raise her head to look into Louisa's eyes, but she was afraid that after really looking at each other, all her thoughts would be seen through again.

"It's useless to be afraid, blind fear only affects judgment, and the slightest distraction can make you miss important information when it comes to carrying out tasks, and at work, Emeline Selu's Christine must be flawless."

Is this Louisa's job?

Homing pigeon?

She thought that this time she was just looking for Aoi, but things seemed to be far more complicated than she imagined.

Bettes looked at Louisa's back as she continued to move forward, it turned out that under her aura, there was such a little-known side, because everyone was watching, so she had to make sure that she didn't make any mistakes.

Suppressing herself like this, she must be very hard.

She wanted to say something, but Louisa put her index finger to her lips.

"Shh

The resident had already arrived in front of a nondescript house, he had no umbrella, he was drenched in rain, and it seemed that something important was going on.

The man looked around to make sure no one was following him before pushing the door open, quickly turning sideways and closing it softly.

The two of them, hiding behind the house, walked around the house and found a corner where they could barely hear the sound.

But the rain at this moment was already majestic, and the rainwater dripping the size of beans fell on the soil and umbrellas, which somewhat increased the difficulty for them to listen.

“… Killed... Can't hide..."

"Sir's... Come back..."

"Must be killed..."

Although the discourse was intermittent, Louisa was able to analyze it roughly.

"Phantom Town seems to be hiding a secret about a big person, the two have been in some kind of relationship before, I think they must have had a disagreement recently, and they are ready to put pressure on him, the tavernkeeper's daughter is a warning, but this move seems to have angered them, and these townsfolk want to do something to Aoi."

How did you hear that?!

"So what are we going to do? They definitely won't be able to beat Aoi! ”

"I'll keep an eye on them, Xiaobai, this operation is dangerous, I'll investigate on my own, now let's find a place to stay nearby, and I'll send a carriage to take you back to the academy early tomorrow morning."

Before Beatis could refute, the gate was opened again, and the inhabitants ran out and entered a nearby inn, and the two of them chased after them.

But when he stepped into the inn, the resident had disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, because of the Halloween Festival recently, there are a lot fewer tourists, and there are only a few people in the inn at this time, which is very deserted.

"A double room, thank you."

Louisa placed a copper moon coin worth 1,000 on the counter, and the proprietress was worried about business and the strange things in the town, and when she saw the customer's generous offer, her face immediately piled up with a smile.

"That's for you."

Louisa leaned against the counter, her fingers tapping casually, looking rather casual.

"It was raining heavily late at night, and it was really difficult to find an inn, and if I hadn't passed by and saw someone running in, I wouldn't have noticed it."

Someone who just ran in? The proprietress who was in a good mood thought about it for a while.

"Ah, you mean Mr. your, he has a few friends who live here, so..."

Speaking of this, the proprietress suddenly reacted and exposed the privacy of the guests herself.

A cold wind blew, and she felt a little uneasy, so she looked up at the two guests, one with a face full of unhappiness after being drenched in the rain, while the other rubbed his arms back and forth, looking cold.

It's just two children, and they've been made suspicious by a series of events recently.

Thinking like this, she handed the key to the room on the second floor to Louisa, and watched the two go upstairs while shouting about breaking the weather, and the proprietress withdrew her attention and smiled as she put the silver moon coins into the drawer where the money was kept.

Unaware of the windswept ledger on the table.
