maltose

Pellelot, who was sitting in the guide transporter, stared at Simon Riley walking towards him with wide eyes and almost wanted to squirt, "Why did you bring the two of them here?" ”

Yes, the detective just walked over and talked a few words before coming back, and brought the two children with him.

Simon Riley, who was walking in front, also secretly made an OK gesture to Pellelot, as if to say, don't worry, there is no threat. Then he slowed down, and waited until the little boy and girl came to his side before pointing ahead and saying, "The ...... in the guide truck" Simon Riley remembered that he had made a lowly mistake by calling him Mr. Merchant, forgetting to ask his name. You can't call him Mr. Merchant...... So Simon gave Pelelot a nickname, "Just call him the little merchant brother Golden Retriever." ”

"Strange name." The little girl complained, "It can't be because he has blonde hair that he calls him Little Golden Retriever, right?" The girl did not take her eyes off Pelelot's body when she spoke, and looked at the little golden retriever of the businessman seriously as if to confirm something, and somehow, the little girl frowned slightly.

I always feel ...... There is a sense of déjà vu.

When and where exactly did you see it......

"Little sister, you're so smart." Simon Riley complimented, "That's true. ”

"Don't give people nicknames, my name is Pellelot." Pellelot said slightly angrily with dissatisfaction.

Simon Riley disagreed, and said with a smile: "Then call him the merchant brother Xiao Pei." ”

"Damn, you call two little ghosts to call me Xiao Pei?" As soon as he said this, Pelelot felt very regretful, and with a sad face, he looked at the little black-haired boy, if the other party was the 'Dark Lord', he would kill and destroy a city without saying a word...... This sentence will directly anger him, and then he doesn't know how he died.

The premise is, of course, that he has the same strength as the Dark Lord, and Pelelot is also an awakened person...... However, if he really belongs to the Solomon family, then even if he doesn't have the strength of the Dark Lord, he has the ability to kill himself in seconds. Pellelot isn't stupid enough to try.

Pellelot didn't know why he felt an indescribable but real fear of this little black-haired boy, which was strange, but one thing was certain, it wasn't just because he had the same black hair as the Solomon clan called the Eight Gods on the Shine, but something more primitive.

Yes, it's the innate instinct of living beings to fear the strong! That real fear from the depths of the soul.

Although black hair is not common on the stars, as a traveling merchant, Pelelot has been to many places and seen more people, and he has really met two or three black-haired stars. Knowing that they are just ordinary people, Pellelot will not be so afraid.

And this time it's noticeably different.

Even if he can't feel any of the fluctuations that an awakened person should have, he just gives people a terrible feeling.

Not only his gaze, but also any trace of demeanor, makes people feel very cold.

Pelelot even felt that in his eyes, any life was inferior.

He is the master of death itself......

The moment the black-haired boy's gaze collided, Pelelot only felt a touch of coldness pass through his back, and a cold sweat broke out, and he immediately smirked in a panic: "It's okay to call me little brother, if you want to call me little brother, you can do it, whatever you like, I won't mind, ha...... Hahaha......"

The brunette boy didn't speak, but gave a smile.

It's just that this smile looks more like the smile of a demon before a meal in Pellelot's eyes.

Remember, the little girl said he couldn't speak......

That's what makes people feel scared! Because he doesn't speak, he can only judge whether he is happy or angry by his eyes and expressions.

Does that smile just now represent happiness and friendliness? I can't see through it......

When he turned his gaze to the little girl, he seemed to sense a warm spring washing his body and mind, making him completely forget that he had only taken a nap for an hour in two days, and his body and mind were already exhausted...... Her pure eyes, as if there was a special magic, gave Pelelot a new lease of life.

Anyone who sees this pure gaze will have a kind of shouting in their hearts, this pure gaze, I will protect it...... Something like that.

These two children are really very strange, didn't anyone find out that the two of them were very contradictory together?

One is like an angel with pure white flawless wings, and the other is like ...... being the embodiment of the 'Dark Lord', whether it is the look in his eyes or the intimidating smile.

Simon Riley didn't think as much as Pellelot thought, and asked out loud to the little girl. "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"

"My name is You ......" The little girl hesitated for a moment and replied, "My name is Mio, and his name is Yashin Yi." ”

"Sister Mio and Xiaoyi, don't worry...... The merchant brother and I will be sure to get you home safely, but before we do that we need to go to the village ahead. Simon Riley hesitated and said, "Otherwise, we'll send you back to the orphanage over there, and then we'll pick you up and take you to Kalmat City when we're done...... Do you think that's okay? ”

Simon Riley looked at the little girl, quietly waiting for her answer.

From her answers, you can know what kind of relationship the two of them have with the orphanage, and who is the suspicious party......

"Oh, no, I don't want to go back to that orphanage...... I'm afraid. The little girl looked very pitiful and very timid.

Simon Riley quickly realized that something was wrong and scared? What is there to fear from that orphanage? looked at the little girl and thought for half a second, squatted down, patted her shoulder gently, and looked at her flatly: "Don't be afraid, you have something to tell uncle." ”

"I accidentally saw something in the orphanage...... the little girl said with trepidation.

"What's that?" Simon Riley's instincts as a detective were certain that something that scared the little girl must be a crucial clue.

"I saw the corpses...... the little girl whispered.

"Corpses?" Simon Riley and Pellelot, who was still shifting his gaze to the little girl in the guide transporter, said in unison.

"yes, there are several corpses hidden on the ceiling on the second floor of the orphanage...... There was a child's corpse that had been reduced to bones, and by the way, there was a sign on the clothes of the corpse, which I recognized as the symbol of the Hunters' Guild, and we were scared to escape when we saw this......"

Simon Riley was shocked by the little girl's words, a corpse with the logo of the Hunter's Guild, so the identity of this corpse is the Hunter?

Simon Riley remembered that when he was talking to Ryan, he learned that a hunter named Casio had killed a villager named Ai Xiu by mistake because of some conflict with the villagers of Hamel Village...... Then Casio disappeared and lost contact with the Hunters' Guild, and no one knew where he was now. They all thought that he had absconded in fear of crime.

After all, Casio is an Awakened One, and in a village full of ordinary people, no one will think of him having an accident and dying.

Could it be ......

This is not the case?

After all, some villagers were killed by hunters, and this was only unilaterally explained from the mouths of the villagers of Hamel Village, although many villagers said that they saw it at that time, but what they saw must be the so-called truth...... Or maybe......

As a detective, Simon Riley thinks he can still tell the difference between a lie and the truth from some body language, so he always looks the little girl in the eyes.

Liars never look each other in the eye.

But the little girl kept looking into her eyes, and she didn't shy away from it.

Perhaps the liar knows this advice and is so clever that he is doubly focused on the other person's eyes. Everyone remembers the criticism of their parents or teachers when they were younger, 'You must have lied again!' I know, because you don't dare look me in the eye. Perhaps the church learned from a very young age that liars would not dare to look each other in the eye, so they learned to do the opposite to avoid being detected. In fact, when the spoofer looks at you, they are so focused that their eyeballs start to dry, which makes them blink more, which is a fatal information leak.

There are many other ways to judge a person from lying......

None of this worked for the little girl, and Simon Riley did not believe that any liar in the world could be so impeccable and perfect, and there was not the slightest doubt in the slightest.

Whether it's tone, eyes, expressions......

Now, after all, there is no polygraph that can scan the other party's brain waves, so Simon Riley's judgment is that what the little girl said is true.

Of course, as a detective, you must confirm the authenticity of all the information, although it is okay to go back to the orphanage to find out, but this is the stupidest method, now that technology is so developed, of course, it is to use scientific means to verify, thermal conduction imaging is not present for the body without temperature, so it has to be scanned with low-light imaging.

It is a high-tech product that has the effect of perspective, and depicts the contours and structure of objects by the subtle differences and subtle changes in the light source. Ideal for spotting very dark spots, such as what's in a box or what's in the basement, so that the scout can have a rough guess. It is one of the essential tools for spies in the Twelve Kingdoms. It's not too far from the orphanage, it's about four or five thousand meters away, and with the high-end reconnaissance equipment he carried, even if it's a few kilometers away, it can be explored.

Simon Riley had all the tools of those spy agents, and he still had them with him.

For example, his pipe, which is not just an ordinary pipe, it is also a hair dryer......

"Sorry, I need to make a call." After Simon Riley finished speaking to Yuri, he looked at Pelelot and said to him, "Little Golden Retriever, little merchant brother, you can help me take care of them here, and I will come as soon as I go." ”

"What...... You're going to leave me here alone? Pelelot couldn't care less about the nickname that this unreliable detective gave him, "Why don't you just make a call, it's different here, and it's not an unsightly thing." ”

The phone call was one of them, and Simon Riley also wanted to go to the vicinity of the orphanage alone to find out what the little girl said was the hidden body on the ceiling on the second floor of the orphanage.

As for how the little girl found the bodies......

Simon Riley naturally won't let go of this kind of detail, and it's not too late to ask when the existence of the body is confirmed......

"Don't worry, I won't go far, I should be back in about ten minutes."

Pellelot was speechless and looked at Simon Riley, who was heading southeast after speaking, what kind of phone, TM still has ten minutes to call? It's not talking on the phone with a woman, ten minutes is nothing...... Raising his hand and shouting at him not to go far, this guy is gone. Pelelot could see that the other party had used the Awakened abilities...... Hurry to reincarnate, go so fast.

This unreliable detective is really a very unreliable person......

From the moment she saw him, Pellelot felt that way.

Of course, it was only a few minutes to know him, and he must have to wait, after all, there were still two Norlando ancient gold in his hands. It's a deal and Pellelot won't give up.

Right now...... I'm the only one left with these two children, what should I do?

For the sake of the present...... Only to please this girl first, Pelelot made such a judgment.

After all, this little black-haired boy, Pelelot didn't think it was easy to mess with at all.

To deal with such a child, Pelelote has a clever trick, which is nothing more than sugar-coated cannonballs.

He took out a cloth bag from his bosom and slowly untied the rope that bound the mouth of the bag, and the bag contained some sugar cubes. Pelelot took one out of his mouth and put it in his mouth, then handed the bag to the little girl outside the car window, and said, "Do you want one?" ”

"Uh......" Although the little girl instantly showed a hesitant expression, she couldn't resist the temptation of candy after all.

Still, she seemed a little hesitant, and it took her a lot of time from nodding her head to reaching for the candy.

Yes, no child can resist the temptation of delicious candies and novelty toys, which is the best way to please them.

"Thank you, is this maltose?" The little girl took out a lump of amber candy from the bag and looked at it carefully.

"You know, this kind of candy is rare nowadays, and it was a homemade malt candy given to me by a villager in a mountain where I once visited."
