Liu Ling pretended not to care and took the lock off the door, then gently pushed the door open. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The door was in disrepair, and the connection between the door and the door frame had long been rusted, so the sound produced when opening the door was particularly unpleasant, and Liu Ling couldn't help but cover his ears.

Don't look at Liu Ling pretending to be indifferent after opening the lock, in fact, his heart has already blossomed at this time.

The process of unlocking the lock for the first time was so smooth, and this lock was still not open by Alder, Liu Ling felt that Alder was definitely not the first time to pick the lock, thinking of this, Liu Ling's heart was full of joy.

Alder was also a little surprised that Liu Ling could open the lock so quickly, so much so that after Liu Ling pushed the door open, he did not immediately go in, but stood in front of the door and looked at Liu Ling as he walked in, as if he was looking at a strange creature from an alien planet.

"Genius!" Finally, such a sentence popped out of Alder's mouth.

Liu Ling was a little embarrassed to hear it, and said: "The main thing is that the help of mental power is too great, plus some luck elements. ”

"Let's not talk about it, why did you break the door in the middle of the night to get in here?" At this time, Alder also entered the door, and after carefully closing the door, Liu Ling finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart.

After closing the door, Alder's attention was attracted by the pair of daggers in Liu Ling's hand, which were very strangely shaped, and after hearing Liu Ling's question, he took his eyes back from Liu Ling's daggers, and then began to speak.

"That's right, I took a mission at the Mercenary Guild this evening. This quest was posted by a painter to help him find his missing girlfriend. ”

"Just a day ago, in the evening, when his girlfriend was walking with him, his girlfriend suddenly disappeared as he walked. According to the painter, his girlfriend's disappearance was instantaneous, and one moment he was holding his girlfriend's waist, but the next moment his girlfriend disappeared from thin air without warning. ”

"After his girlfriend disappeared, the painter searched all around, not to mention his girlfriend, not even a single figure. So in the end, the painter had no choice but to go to the mercenary guild and issue a mission. ”

"You know, I'm one of my favorite things about taking on weird assignments. After reading the description of the task, I didn't hesitate to take it right away, and then found the painter and asked him for more specific details about his girlfriend's disappearance. ”

"At that time, the painter and his girlfriend were walking around the neighborhood, and they chose this place because most of the houses here are abandoned, and no one usually passes by, so that they can do things that are inconvenient for others to see......"

"Then, according to the painter, it was always windy when his girlfriend disappeared, and they thought the evening breeze was refreshing and took off most of their clothes."

"Wind. This is the only clue I found from the painter's mouth. I don't know if you remember, but there was no wind in the city of Morfa yesterday evening, and it was not evening when the wind started, and it was almost late at night. Since I spent last night all the time outside, I'm especially sure of that. ”

"And I have repeatedly confirmed to the painter that the painter insisted that there was wind around him when his girlfriend disappeared, and that he could swear to the great god of art."

Since the painter insisted on saying this, I thought of two possibilities. The first is that the artist's girlfriend was actually killed by himself, and in order to escape suspicion, he announced to others that his girlfriend had disappeared for no reason while walking with him in the evening. The real situation is that the painter didn't actually come out in the evening, so he didn't know if there was wind outside, he killed his girlfriend in the middle of the night, and when he went out to dispose of the body after killing someone, he found that there was wind outside, so he thought that the wind was blowing all the time, and in order to make the story more realistic, he made the wind into his story. ”

"Don't look at me like that, I know I've only taken a mission from the Mercenary Guild, it's not a case from the vigilantes, do you think there's no need for a painter to lie, but I'll tell you, I've been in this situation before. After killing someone, in order to get rid of his suspicion, he went to the mercenary union in advance to release the task of the missing person, and most people must think that he was not suspicious, but the real situation is that the murderer is the first person to go to the mercenary guild to issue a mission. ”

"I learned from the painter that he and his girlfriend had always had a habit of going for a walk in the old town after dinner, so this is also a possibility. But I didn't tell the painter what I thought, because no one wanted to be suspected of being a murderer, and that person was my employer'....... ”

"I have a second conjecture, which is that the gust of wind didn't come naturally, but someone cast a spell. It could be an illusion or some kind of teleportation spell, in short, someone used a spell to confuse the painter into thinking that his girlfriend was always by his side, when in fact his girlfriend had disappeared for a long time. Or maybe someone cast some kind of magic similar to teleportation, and instantly removed his girlfriend from him. ”

"Whether it's the first conjecture or the second conjecture, I need to go to these abandoned houses in the old town and look carefully for clues. If his girlfriend was really killed by the painter himself, then it is likely that his girlfriend was killed by him in some abandoned house, and it is even possible that his girlfriend's body was hidden in a certain house. ”

Because if his girlfriend was really killed by him, he mentioned in the mission that his girlfriend disappeared while walking in the old city, and he was deliberately guiding the mercenaries to the old city to investigate, and it would be more convincing if the mercenaries found his girlfriend's body in person than if he found the body himself. When he reported the case to the police station, he was able to get rid of his suspicion more cleanly. ”

"If it's my second guess that his girlfriend was destroyed by someone using a spell, then I should take a closer look at these abandoned houses. Because as a mage you know, such large spells require a long preparation time. Even though there weren't many people coming and going in the old town, the mage wouldn't dare chant spells on the streets, that would be too high-profile. So he needed a place to hide from the chanting spells, and those abandoned houses were the most suitable locations. ”

"There will definitely be some clues left in it. Because I said before that the painter and his girlfriend walk very regularly, basically after dinner, and if anyone really wants to harm his girlfriend, it is undoubtedly very convenient to prepare it in those abandoned houses......"
