"Do you know why I say that?" Seeing Howard falter, Leach struck while the iron was hot.

"Why?"

Pointing to the pattern in the corner, Leach began his knowledge popularization class: "Mr. Howard, you see, it's because of this pattern that you're sure that your bastard organization here did it, and because of this pattern, you're sure that your bastard organization here is the rebels, right?"

Howard nodded.

"However, patterns can be counterfeited! Especially this kind of pattern that is not too complicated, as long as you have seen it, you can draw a gourd and copy it in the same way. ”

However, after all, counterfeits are only counterfeits, and there are still certain differences from the original. As far as I know, the patterns left by the real rebels, although just as simple, have something special in an inconspicuous place, you see here. ”

As he spoke, Leach crouched down and pointed to the base of the balance pattern on the wall: "The mark left by the real rebels, there will be a small plum blossom-shaped sign in this place, if you don't look closely, you will think that it is just accidentally stained with ink, but this pattern is obviously not, so I think that your rebels here are not real rebels." ”

Under Leach's guidance, Howard quickly found the difference: "Not really! But how do you know so much about Utah......? You ......"

Seeing Howard's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Leach quickly understood what he was thinking, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you thinking, I'm not a member of the Rebel Organization!"

"Then what are you going to ......?" Howard was still a little skeptical.

Seeing this, Leach had no choice but to point to the adventure hunter badge on his waist and said loudly: "See clearly, I am an adventure hunter, I have my own way, and I naturally know more than ordinary people, now I understand?"

"I see, I said!" Howard suddenly said, "but it doesn't seem very important to discuss whether our rebels here are really not very important at this time, the most important thing now is to find the thief who stole your things as soon as possible!"

"That's just as well. ”

After the investigation of the scene, nothing was found except for the information that the rebels in the small town of Thermos were likely to be fake. As a last resort, the group had to go to Leach's Qinguo restaurant, the only one they had been to yesterday, to continue their investigation.

Before coming to the restaurant, Leach noticed something different from yesterday.

Or rather, it's not that it's different, but yesterday the group was all attracted by the bustle of the restaurant, and they were so hungry and anxious to eat that they didn't notice something less noticeable in the corner.

Today was different, because it was not yet a meal, and the restaurant was still relatively deserted, so Leach had the leisure to look around.

In addition to the ordinary houses, in the small alley next to the restaurant, there is a simple tent made of sticks and rags.

What caught Leach's eye was a beggar curled up in a broken tent.

It had just entered autumn on Kelmos's side, and the temperature was not low, but the beggar curled up as much as he could, shivering, which was one of the reasons why Leach would notice him or her.

"What are you looking at, Captain?" said Ti Xinlier, who noticed Li's strange appearance.

Hearing this, Howard, who was leading the way in front, also stopped.

Following Leach's gaze, Howard explained, "That's a waiter in the old fruit shop. ”

"Waiter, how did that come to be?" Everyone was taken aback, including Leach, and the most exaggerated was Tully, who was the one who asked.

Hearing this, Howard sighed: "It's not that he was killed by that group of bastards who claim to be rebels!"

Under Howard's narration, the Leach finally knew what was going on.

The beggar was originally a girl named Dinah, whose parents had died for some reason, and she was the only one who lived with her grandmother. Although Dinah is not particularly beautiful, she is very well-behaved and sensible, and the neighbors in the neighborhood like her very much, and often use their own things to help the grandfather and grandson.

Later, when Dinah grew up and could work to earn money to take care of her grandmother, it happened that Qinguo bought the restaurant and needed to recruit workers, so she hired Dinah.

Because Dinah is very honest and diligent, and her home is not far away, sometimes when Qinguo has something to do, she will ask her to help look after the store. For Dinah, Qinguo is almost treated as her own sister, so she is very relieved to see Qinguo.

Everything was good, but one night, Qinguo had something to do in the forest outside the town to collect a special spice that could only be found at night, so he asked Dinah again to help look after the store, and then an accident happened.

Because Qin Guo has never been evasive about the "rebels" who came to ask for protection money, and once she was almost defiled because of this, it was Howard who happened to be present to save her. After that, Howard deliberately sent people to strengthen patrols nearby, and really caught several groups of bastards who wanted to trouble Qinguo.

But because of this, the "rebels" hated Qin Guo more and more, and that night, a large group of people came, wanting to teach Qin Guo a lesson that he would never forget.

For a woman, there is nothing more terrible than being rounded by a large group of stinky men, probably because of the bad light in the middle of the night, the people who came took Dinah as Qinguo and carried out the most inhumane torture.

When Qin Guo came back from outside the next day, what he saw was Dinah, who was unclothed and completely insane.

Even more unfortunate, after learning of her granddaughter's tragic experience, Dinah's grandmother was so angry that she died, leaving Dinah, who was lonely and completely unable to take care of herself.

Knowing that Dinah had saved herself from the disaster, Qinguo, who was guilty and grateful, originally wanted Dinah to live in her own house and take care of her life as much as possible, but I don't know if it was because she was unconscious, Dinah would run out by herself every time screaming and hide in the small alley next to the restaurant, and let her live in Qinguo's house as well.

Over time, Qinguo had no choice but to build a nest for Dinah in the small alley, serving three meals a day, so as not to let Dinah starve to death on the street.

"Miss Qinguo is such a kind and beautiful girl, if only I could win her heart!" After the heavy voice recounted what had happened to Dinah, Howard became a nymphomaniac without warning.

Although they are deeply sympathetic to Dinah's plight, now Leach and they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no leisure to help others, and besides, this is not something that can be helped, and after a few sighs, they followed Howard into the restaurant.
