Chapter 277: Night Detective (1)

Business at Qinguo's restaurant was so good that Leach waited in the neighborhood until nearly midnight, and all the customers who dined at the restaurant left one after another.

To Leach's surprise, Qinguo's home was not in the backyard of the restaurant, which she seemed to have converted into a dormitory, where the waiters who worked in her restaurant lived.

"It seems that Saya's guess is correct, this Qinguo is indeed very suspicious......"

During the day, Howard told Leach that many of the waiters were former thugs from the town, so how could they have no place to live in the town and live in the backyard?

After following Qinguo through two streets, Leach finally discovers where she lives.

It's a fairly spacious courtyard, and if it's a family of five, it's just right, but if it's just a young girl living here, it's too empty.

However, the empty space also has the advantage of being empty, that is, it is convenient for Leach to monitor.

After returning home, Qin Guo did not wash and go to bed like ordinary people, but began to get busy.

At first, Leach thought he had hit a bad luck and found something terrible on the first day of surveillance, but after a closer look, he realized that he seemed to be thinking too much.

Qin Guo was busy, and seemed very suspicious in the middle of the night, but when Leach saw what she was busy with, most of his doubts about her were immediately dispelled.

In the courtyard, except for a room dedicated to sleeping in Qinguo, the rest of the rooms were filled with clay pots more than two feet high, and the surrounding air was filled with the rich smell of fruit.

Qin Guo was busy putting the washed fruits into the clay pot one by one.

"So it's making ......fruit wine," Leach muttered quietly, and at the same time understood why she had bought such a large house, which was not only used for living, but also used as a winery.

The first night of surveillance ended in nothing, and when Qin Guo returned home, she was busy making wine, until even Leach, who was watching from the sidelines, felt a little sleepy, and she went to bed, and did not behave out of the ordinary.

Early the next morning, Howard came to Leach as agreed to continue their investigation, and when he saw that Leach was a little tired, he didn't think much about it, thinking that he was tossing and turning because he had lost something.

Since nothing has been found in the places they have visited, the rest of the trip is up to Howard, the local snake. Led by him, the group came to the gate of an old abandoned mansion.

"Mr. Howard, what are you bringing us here?" looked at the staggered door, and Leach was puzzled.

"That's right, after I separated from you yesterday, I thought about it carefully, and since you haven't found anything in the places you've been, then we can only start elsewhere. ”

"What does that have to do with this place, it looks like it's been abandoned for a long time, could it be that there are still people living here?" asked Tali suddenly.

"That's right!" Howard smiled mysteriously, "not only are there people living here, but there are also some people who are very well-informed. ”

Without waiting for Tali to ask in detail, Howard walked inside.

Although this old mansion looks very dilapidated from the outside, it is not overgrown with weeds as expected, although it is still a little dirty, but it is obviously inhabited.

Led by Howard, the group bypassed the atrium and made their way to the backyard, where a group of ragged beggars gathered around to enjoy "good food."

Seeing the stranger intruding, the beggars looked a little panicked and shrank into the corner with their rice bowls.

"Don't be afraid, we have no ill will. Howard tried to smile softly, "I heard that if you want to get some information, you can come here, I wonder if we are in the wrong place?"

Listening to Howard's explanation, the beggars were obviously relaxed, and one of the youngest stepped forward: "You are not looking for the wrong place, I don't know what you are going to inquire about, have you brought the money? ”

"We brought the money. Howard untied a money bag from his waist and shook it twice, making a crisp metal crash sound from inside the money bag, "Don't worry, we're not asking about the privacy of other people's homes." ”

At that moment, Howard told Leach about the theft of their belongings, and finally said, "We wanted to ask you, have you seen a wooden chest, a black greatsword, and a fiery red longbow appear in the last few days?"

With that, Howard tossed the money bag over.

After checking that everything was correct, the youngest beggar said, "We haven't seen the things you said for the past two days, but we can help you keep an eye on them, because I can't give you the information you want, so I will only take half of the money as a deposit for the time being, and we will trade the rest when we have news." ”

With that, the young beggar took out a handful of money from his purse and threw it back to Howard.

Taking the money bag, Howard thought for a moment and said, "Then I'm sorry for you." By the way, you don't have to see those things, the hotel in town was burgled the night before, and you can find out about it. ”

"Okay, got it. ”

Leaving the mansion, Tali asked Howard, "Is it really okay to ask those beggars, please?" I always think it's useless, and there are only a dozen of them......

"You'd be wrong. Howard laughed, "This is just one of the beggars in the town who settle down to trade information with people." Because of their humble status, beggars rarely avoid them when they talk, so it is most appropriate to ask them for news. ”

"That's right......," Tali nodded as if she didn't understand, "I hope they can bring us good news." ”

After saying goodbye to Howard, Leach and the others took the time to return to the Enchantress to get some money.

Thanks to Michael's teachings, Leach and Lena never kept all their money with them, and this was the time to solve their urgent needs.

That night, Leach continued to set off to spy on Qinguo, who was full of suspicions.

Although Howard said that the beggars should have some useful news, Leach and Saya, still felt that finding a breakthrough in Qinguo was the best choice.

However, to Leach's disappointment, for three days in a row, Qinguo's routine was very regular. The restaurant went home after closing, and when he got home, he made wine, and when he was done, he lay down to rest, and there was nothing unusual about it, but Leach, who had not slept well for three nights in a row, seemed a little sluggish.
