Agnes followed Alyssa upstairs.

The hallway was dark and damp, with a rotten smell, and the wooden staircase that had fallen into disrepair creaked when stepped on. In such an environment, Agnes unconsciously raised her vigilance.

Alyssa seemed to sense Agnes' nervousness and gently shook Agnes' hand.

Agnes looked up at Alyssa, who smiled comfortingly at Agnes.

"Here we are, the innermost room on the second floor, this is it." Alyssa whispered.

It is a wooden door, which seems to have just been replaced, and it is not painted, and you can see the wood fibers that have been scraped up.

Alyssa paused at the door, then reached out and knocked on the door.

"Germain, are you there?"

Agnes looked at Alyssa suspiciously, and Alyssa shook her head at Agnes.

"Hey, why isn't the door locked?" Agnes saw Alyssa pressing her hand on the door, pushed it open and walked in.

It's clearly a place where a single man lives. The windows of the room were open, and a cool breeze blew in. On the table in the middle, there were some cans that I didn't know when and when I finished eating but didn't throw them away, and some bottles of wine that had been drunk were placed in a crooked place, but I could vaguely see that they seemed to be divided into two piles.

In addition to this, there was a smell of sweat in the room, and Agnes was keenly aware of the source of the smell, which seemed to be a pile of clothes piled together in the corner of the bedroom room, which had traces of dried water stains and dust, Agnes did not turn over the pile of clothes, she looked at the several shoes randomly distributed on the floor of the room throughout the room, and matched them.

There seems to be one missing. Agnes kicked the pile of clothes open, but there was no missing shoe underneath.

Agnes looked at Alyssa, who nodded to Agnes, shook her head again, then smiled and blinked her eyes and glanced out the window.

Alyssa walked over to the open window, looked out the window and smiled. Agnes saw the wooden window sprouts rapidly, and then snaked its way under the window.

Agnes heard a half-muffled roar before disappearing as if someone had covered her mouth. Soon, a figure wrapped in vines was thrown in through the window.

Agnes looked at him curiously. The man looked stout in a tattered outfit, his hands, feet, and mouth bound by vines, leaving scraped white marks on his skin as he struggled.

Alyssa smiled at Agnes and said, "I didn't expect to have another harvest today, a 'hunter'. ”

The man's movements were much weaker, and Alyssa looked at him with a smile and asked, "Germain Moody?" ”

The vine that gagged the man's mouth loosened, and the man took a deep breath.

"Church bitch...... Woohoo...... "The man's mouth was gagged by vines again.

Alyssa smiled and said, "It seems that the wrong person has not been arrested, in this case, it will be easy to do." ”

Alyssa turned to Agnes and said, "Go tell the old lady outside that Germain has a problem and needs help." The expression is a little panicked, well, like seeing a dead person. ”

Germain's struggle suddenly increased.

Agnes nodded, then tried to put on a panicked look and asked Alyssa, "Is this okay?" ”

Alyssa held her forehead and sighed.

"Forget it, I'll teach you later. I'll go. ”

Agnes saw Germain behind Alyssa lose consciousness, convulsed and foamed at the mouth.

......

Germain opened his eyes and saw that he was no longer in his own home, but in a dark room. He sat up suddenly, feeling his whole body aching, his head dizzy, and he wanted to sleep.

He couldn't help but scold.

"It's just the after-effects of the seizure." Jermaine looked over and saw that the older girl was sitting not far away during the day, wearing a burgundy dress, and the whole person looked much younger. And the thin girl changed into a flat camel-colored shirt and pants, although her appearance has not changed, she has no sense of weakness, and even makes him feel superior.

Germain opened his mouth and didn't say anything. In the end, he just asked, "Are you for the theft of the Blacksmiths' Guild?" ”

"Yes." Alyssa nodded.

Jermain cursed and muttered, "I know, I know." ”

Alyssa looked at Germain with interest and asked, "Looks like Mr. Germain knows something." ”

Germain raised his hands and said, "I'll tell you everything I know." ”

"A wise choice." Alyssa nodded, leaned back into the back of her seat, and said, "Please, Mr. Germain." ”

Jermain took a deep breath and said, "On the day of the 5th, I heard two ...... The girl said that the president of the blacksmith's guild was a little strange, and one of the girls said that she found that the president and henchmen of the blacksmith's guild would keep an eye on her every time they cleaned, and would never let her touch a small safe. Once, when the president and the president's henchmen were away, she tried to remove the small safe while cleaning, but as soon as she picked it up, she forgot what she was going to do, and it wasn't until she was scolded and put down by the president that she realized that she had been standing there for more than ten minutes. ”

"I didn't really think much of it when I heard the news until the 8th, when I attended the Extraordinary's gathering. At that time, there was news that someone was buying an extraordinary item at the party, and I remembered what I heard and sold it. ”

"Then I heard that 10,000 lire of cash had been stolen from the office of the president of the blacksmith's guild, and I remembered that I had sold it. I was a little scared and went out to hide for a few days, but when I found that no one was looking for me, I came back. I didn't expect you to come today...... If you knew about it, you would have hid for a few more days...... He was also dismissed for absenteeism......"

Germain's voice grew quieter, and finally turned into a small mutter.

"So you think the person who bought your news is the suspect in the blacksmith's guild theft?" Alyssa asked with a smile as she tapped her index finger lightly on the table.

Jermain couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and replied, "Yes." ”

"Where is the gathering of the Extraordinary? How often? ”

Germain hesitated for a moment and replied, "At the Firefox Bar in the Regra district, about once every ten days, the next one will be on the 8th of the month." ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Germain, for your cooperation." Alyssa nodded noncommittally and said, "It's time for Mr. Germain to stay here and cooperate with our investigation." ”

Alyssa stood up, and Agnes followed suit, walking out of the room.

"Wait, don't go yet, tell me where this is?" Jermain shouted.

Alyssa turned her head and laughed, and replied, "Pavra Monastery." ”

Germain fell silent. Alyssa and Agnes walked out of the room.

Outside, the sun shone diagonally across the eaves, dividing the place into two worlds.
