Chapter 30: The Golden Fairy (28)
By the time we got back to Victoria's hut, it was already afternoon.
The afternoon sun is lazy, and the unique breath of spring makes people feel drowsy.
Eileen and the others spread some straw on the open space outside the hut and set up a simple picnic platform.
Originally, Eren didn't plan to be so troublesome, but at the strong request of Victoria and Ai Yue, he could only join forces with Blois to set up this.
Ai Yue and Victoria went to the town to buy a lot of snacks, and of course, the two cakes that Ai Lian promised were indispensable.
Due to Blois' status and other reasons, it would be a bit of a hassle to let Blois enter the town now, so this is the only way to solve it for lunch.
It seems that Western Australia has directly broken into the dungeon and taken Blois captive. But in the eyes of the townspeople, it was definitely Blois who overturned all the guards and escaped from prison.
If you think about it carefully, this group of people is a combination of two wanted criminals, a Lori who wears a pleated skirt all the year round, and a girl who seems to be an aristocratic girl, but is actually a foodie.
Half of the wanted criminals alone will make people have the idea that "the empire is over".
On the makeshift cloth, Ai Yue was grinning and stuffing a piece of cake into her mouth, laughing happily at the same time. Of course, the expressions of the three people except her were more serious.
"That guy is Western Australia? the redhead?" asked Eren to Victoria.
Victoria didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and judging by her serious expression, she must have been thinking about something else.
That's when Blois spoke.
"I don't know why," he said, "but the man always gave me a familiar feeling, as if I had seen it somewhere." ”
"Well, Western Australia must have lived here for a long time, and that institution, if I'm not mistaken, was remodeled by Blois. It was the most popular mechanism in the Sailun Empire, and it shouldn't be common here in the Western Continent. ”
"And that mechanism, it can't be done in a few days. If I'm not mistaken, Western Australia should live in a small town, and Blois is a former police officer in the town, so it feels familiar. ”
Ellen's explanation made perfect sense, and Blois nodded his head in agreement.
"Then you have to name the people who came to the town in five years and didn't leave. But... Blois hesitated when he said this, although this is only a small town in the countryside, but the flow of people is still quite large, if you want to find out, it is impossible to remember it with the human brain.
"By the way, Suvel came here five years ago!" said Blois in affirmation at the sudden mention of his name.
"Suwel?"
Ai Lian was also impressed by this name, after all, Ai Lian got a lot of money from this fat man. If it weren't for this fat man, Elian and the others would have starved to death.
"That's right! I received a report from Sowel that there was a burglar in his house, and then I went to his house to investigate. I didn't expect the thief to find out, but he became a prisoner!" Blois was a little itchy when he mentioned this, and he must have been confused when he was framed.
"Just get Suvier here and interrogate him well, and you'll know a lot!" Blois continued.
"Hmm... The idea is good, but it's more difficult to implement. Ai Lian pinched his chin and said quietly.
"Why?"
"Quite simply, that Sowel has already gone to see the goddess Gaia! If you want to interrogate the dead, you have to dig up his body!" replied Elian, bowing his head.
It's as if I'm thinking about whether this method will work.
"Dead!?" Blois muttered to himself, "No way!
Just when Blois's face was full of disbelief, Elian said something: "The mayor's own son, the only police officer in the town, Officer Blois was raised, he is the murderer who has been killing people in the spring, and his accomplice Suvier, who thought that he would get a large sum of money after reporting, but he also fell into the cage, and after desperate struggle, he was killed on the spot by the police officer." ”
"Mate, kill on the spot?" said Blois over and over a few words, barely believing his ears.
"Looks like there are a lot of secrets in this!" Looking at Blois's appearance, Elian rubbed his head, thinking that this puzzle only needed a few pieces to piece together, but he didn't expect that the more pieces he could get, the bigger the puzzle would need to be pieced together.
It's really tricky. Elian thought with a little headache.
Just as Ai Lian lowered his head and pondered, Ai Yue put a large bag of small biscuits in front of him and said happily:
"That's right, that's right, Grandma Elsie gave us some snacks today, you see!"
"Little biscuits—not bad, either. Elian picked up a cookie and bit it gently.
Quack - Quack -
The crisp sound accompanies the afternoon time, as if it can hypnotize people.
"Forget it, let's think about this mess tomorrow. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I always feel like I don't have any energy today. Elian just walked up to the haystack and looked at the sky.
Eren had thought that those leisurely times were gone from him, but now life seems to be good.
I thought that after that incident, I would live a life of hiding in Tibet and never having peace. However, those bounty hunters who chased Eren all over the world for the bounty could not have imagined that their heads, which they tried in every possible way to make a fortune, could now leisurely eat small cookies and enjoy the afternoon leisurely.
Sure enough, life is inadvertent, and it will bring people some touch.
Elian's eyes narrowed, his mind racing about these things.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something important, he sat up suddenly.
"Sure enough, life will bring a lot of surprises inadvertently!" Elian's grin, the truth seemed to be within his reach.
It's just that I haven't touched it all the time, which makes the truth seem so far away.
