Chapter 269: The Past

"Little girl, who did you learn this nursery rhyme from?!"

Dario crouched down, his big angular face squeezing out an ugly smile, trying to pretend to be amiable. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The five little girls stopped spinning in circles when they heard the sound, panting, and one of them was a little girl with pigtails, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of black and white eyes looked at the big man curiously, "Uncle, are you from outside the town?"

"Hmm. Dario nodded.

"Strange. The little girl frowned like a caterpillar, "The people outside the town are obviously not like you, how can they be so similar to my family's big black." ”

Dario had an ominous premonition, "Who is Big Black?"

The little girl's chubby fingers were in her mouth, and she replied very seriously,

"Big black, it's the pig that my father has raised for five years, and it's the heaviest one in town. ”

"Haha, I'm laughing to death!"

"Dario looks like a pig. For a moment, Chekov, Sisic, and Magani laughed heartily, and Rodin couldn't help but laugh.

Only Dario's face turned like a monkey's butt, and then he touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Alright, brothers, don't laugh. Childish words, Dario, don't take it to heart. ”

The corners of Rogers' mouth seemed to be crooked, and he forced a smile.

At this time, the girl cautiously leaned into Dario's ear,

"Uncle Daiko, I tell you quietly, this nursery rhyme was heard by Lily by the brook, and every morning there was a sister singing there. But no matter how Lily looked, she couldn't be seen. ”

"Well, invisible sister?" the group exchanged a look.

Rogers pinched Lily's pink little face and shoved five Marelli into the girl's hand

"Lily is so good, the money is used to buy candy with her friends. ”

"Brothers, find Calaf first, and then go to the creek. ”

"But then again, it's good to be ugly. Haha!"

To the east of the town, under a tall locust tree, an old man is sitting on a small stool, comfortably smoking a cigarette. The sun slowly peeked out of the sky, and the warm sunlight shone down, illuminating the old man's orange-peeled cheeks with a touch of redness.

"Uncle Calaf?"

The old man took another puff of smoke, and thick white smoke rings peeked out of his nostrils and mouth and sprayed into Magani's face, which was close at hand.

"Boys, don't you look like Pegasus?"

Although Carado is old, he speaks with a strong voice and a loud voice.

"The old man is really wise. To tell the truth, our Tiger Cicada Hunting Group was invited by Thompson to come to Pegasus Town to investigate the mysterious disappearance of shoemaker Lu Wen more than a month ago. ”

"Oh, it's a couple of powerful people. Please forgive the old man for his inconvenient body and bones, and he is unable to give gifts to adults. Although the old man said this, his expression was quite indifferent, and he did not mean to get up at all.

"Where the words. You are a respected elder in Pegasus Town, and it should be us young people who listen to your teachings. ”

Rogers hurriedly complimented politely.

"We're here to ask you something. ”

"Say, polite young man. The shoemaker's incident really has a bad impact on Pegasus Town, and it is incumbent on the old man to do his part to let you investigate the matter as soon as possible. ”

"That's right, we want to know the origin of the furniture in the luxury suite on the top floor of the Silver Pine Hotel. ”

Calaf's old face rippled, "Those furniture. Old man Rong recalled that he was old and his memory had deteriorated greatly. ”

The old man's forehead swelled up with mountains and ravines, and he meditated hard.

After a long time, the old man slapped his head violently, and suddenly realized,

"Yes, thanks to your reminders, this is a very strange thing to say. ”

Rodin suppressed his excitement, "Please speak slowly, don't miss any details." ”

"Well, it's up to you. If memory serves, that set of furniture was settled at the Silver Pine Hotel fifteen years ago. ”

The old man stared at the sky, and the light of memory flashed in his cloudy eyes,

"Fifteen years ago, late one night, the family of Joseph Luwen, the former mayor of Pegasus Town, suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts have not been found. The strangest thing was that there was no sign of an outsider breaking into their house, and not a single townsman saw them walk out of their house. ”

"The night before, the old man and I passed by their house, and through the bright lights of the windows, the voices of talking and chatting could be heard clearly. ”

"So, it's like they've disappeared out of thin air for no reason. ”

"Wait a minute!"

"The former mayor is also called Lu Wen?"

"That's right, that guy is a good guy, Pegasus is well governed, and the townspeople are very supportive of him. It's a pity that the people are suddenly gone. At that time, this matter was quite troublesome, and the city of St. Gallen sent several big people to investigate, but unfortunately nothing was found, and in the end this matter became a headless case and was not resolved. ”

"Fifteen years have passed, and the big guys have almost forgotten it. ”

The former mayor Lu Wen's family of four, the shoemaker Lu Wen, disappeared one after another for fifteen years, and said that the two things were okay, but Rodin didn't believe it.

The six Tiger Cicadas looked excited, and they felt as if they had discovered some unknown truth.

"What is the relationship between the other three and him?"

"Wife Mime Leuwen, youngest daughter Sandra Leuvin, son Chloe Leuwen. The family is good-tempered and kind to people everywhere. ”

"So. Rodin's tone trembled slightly, "The furniture was moved from the former mayor Lu Wen's house?"

"Yes! Lu Wen's family disappeared and there was no one left, and all the family property was naturally confiscated. Soon he was taken by the successor mayor of Tanglin Town, and later I didn't know what Thompson's cunning old fox had thought of, so he actually asked for furniture from Tanglin and tinkered with a luxury suite for Raushzi. ”

"Is the Elder Mansion of Luwen still there?"

"The townspeople thought the house was unknown, so they demolished it and razed it to the ground in eight years. ”

"It's a pity. Thank you very much, Uncle Calaf!"

The old man looked at the excited people in front of him a little inexplicably, and his face flashed with suspicion, "Could it be furniture...... The furniture has something to do with their disappearance. ”

"The mirror in the furniture, to be exact!" said Rodin, with a firm tone.

"No, there was such a big commotion at that time, and even the wizards were invited to investigate, and no one found that there was a problem with the family. In addition, the former mayor of Lu Wen also lived in the same room with those furniture for decades, why did this accident happen at that time?"

"Maybe some kind of ban was triggered. Rodin said from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle, don't think about it yet, we'll let you know when things come to an end. ”

"Well, young man, remember not to keep the old man waiting too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to last long. ”

"What's the matter? Your old body is so strong, and your days are long. ”

After saying goodbye to Calaf, the six Tiger Cicadas looked extremely excited, and they seemed to have seen the dawn of solving the case.

Coincidentally, they punched Rodin in the shoulder to show affection.

"Okay, brother, I didn't expect to be really right by you. The initiator is the mirror. ”

"Yes, Boss, Rodin is responsible for this commission. ”

There was no joy on Rodin's face, "You must be cautious, and you must not relax." Whether the mirror was a witchcraft or not is unknown. ”

Rogers continued, "Also, if the mirror is a witchcraft artifact, then why did it activate at that time and make people disappear, could there be a behind-the-scenes manipulator?"

After speaking, everyone's mood turned from sunny to cloudy.

Obviously, the person behind the scenes of such a mysterious mirror that can be linked to witchcraft must not be easy to match.

And the unknown often means danger.

"Okay, everyone be prepared, just don't take it lightly. Magani calmed the crowd.

"It's still early, let's go to the creek that Lily said we talked about. The invisible woman in her mouth is sacred. ”
