Chapter 10 The Serial Disappearances in the Town of Grom I
After being woken up by Xiao Ai's words, the three of them set off immediately, and it took less than half an hour to see the town. www.biquge.info After seeing this situation, Rogxin's heart collapsed again, and the whole person became gray.
Geely could understand his feelings, but what he said made Geely a little confused.
"It's all blamed on me for reading too much of a certain article, and in a certain point of the text, the journey to the other world always follows the caravan and the like, the journey is long and dangerous, and I have to go through all kinds of hardships and dangers along the way to reach the destination, and I am completely brainwashed by this kind of bridge..... Yes, I was influenced by the starting point and fell into a stereotype! Yes! That's it! It's not me who is wrong, it's a certain point! It's all a certain point of fault!"
Just as Rogxin forcibly dumped the pot to cover up his IQ problem, the group had already stepped into the town. But there was not a single person in the street, the doors and windows were closed, and they looked like they had been reinforced. Rogxin didn't have time to feel sorry for himself at this time, it was a bit weird to have such a scene not long after the genius was dark. He could feel some people in some rooms peeking at him through the cracks in the windows, and a large number of people gathered in the distance, Xiao Ai clutched his arm tightly, and the whole person was curled up in his arms. Rogxin rubbed her head gently, glanced at Geely, and continued on his way quietly.
After walking about a few dozen meters away, I saw the signboard of the hotel, and the door of the hotel was naturally closed. Rogxin didn't care so much, he went up and knocked on the door, and shouted: "Is there anyone staying in the hotel? Don't you want to do business!"
This time it was like poking a hornet's nest, only to hear the sound of various ping-pong in the surrounding room, and a large group of people with pitchforks, axes, shovels, sticks, and pickaxes rushed out and surrounded the three of them. Rogxin turned and swept his eyes, and noticed a fat middle-aged mustache, who stopped the people who wanted to rush up, looking quite prestigious.
"Who are you, and why are you in town at this time?" asked the mustache, looking at the three of them with an unkind expression.
Rogxin didn't speak, but Geely stood up and said softly: "I'm sorry, we are passing travelers, because it's getting late and want to find a hotel to rest for a night, and by the way, I want to replenish some supplies, my partner hasn't slept well for several days, so he is a little impatient, I'm really sorry!"
The mustache didn't buy it, and instead stared at Rogsin's back. As if sensing his malice, Xiao Ai's pupils were erected, her tail was fried, and she bared her teeth and roared at the mustache.
"Hand over that werewolf!" the mustache threatened, but as soon as he said that, he was stared at coldly by the black-haired young man standing in the middle, and this glance made him feel as if his heart was being held, and a mouthful of blood spat out. When the people gathered in front saw it, Qi Qi took a step back, and even squeezed down the people behind, causing a small chaos.
Rogxin had already seen that one of the mustachioed people in the gang was a professional, and directly attracted the natural source force to give him a look. The effect of retreating from the enemy at this glance was too good, and the people around were frightened, their hands and feet were shaking, and the atmosphere of the whole scene became a little delicate. Rogxin had a headache, and he thought that if there was a little love, everyone could let down their guard and talk about it, because the werewolves in this world have a good reputation and are very popular, but he didn't want this mustache to react completely the opposite.
But fortunately, it didn't take long for someone to come to the rescue. "Stop, stop, but don't fight!" A weak voice sounded, and the crowd split out from the outside to the inside as the voice approached, and a young man in his 20s with glasses who looked weak walked out, "Ah, White, you're vomiting blood!
"Haier, why are you here!Leave, that black-haired kid is dangerous!" White was very anxious, but the young man known as Haier didn't care, but persuaded White: "Don't get excited, they are not bad people, I know that blonde boy, he is a student of the Scholarly Union." After speaking, he beckoned two people to help White up, walked over by himself, touched his chest and gave a salute, and introduced himself: "My name is Haile Squiem, and I am the mayor of this Grom town, I am really embarrassed just now!"
The three of them returned the salute one by one, and Geely was curious about how the young mayor knew him, and before he could ask, Haier spoke, "I once went to study at Maitwynne Academy, and although I didn't pass the test, I was fortunate enough to meet the person of the academy, that is, you, Mr. Gili Tu!"
"Hey, hey, I'm not that great~~" Geely smirked and scratched his head.
Is it really okay for Little Geely to be a natural fool?
"You don't have to be modest, you're a disciple of Master Erist, the youngest wind warlock in the Sect Alliance!" the young mayor's words caused a commotion in the crowd, and many of them were whispering, with a look of anticipation on their faces. Rogxin's heart moved, the atmosphere of the town is weird, the residents are nervous, this is simply the RPG "Rogxin Adventure" triggered the mission! This mayor is a mission NPC, although he is not an old grandfather.
But Haier kept silent about it, and instead warmly invited them to stay at his home. Of course, Rogxin will not take the initiative to ask. Haile dismissed everyone before continuing: "I'm really sorry today, please forgive White for being reckless and rude, a lot has happened in the town during this time, and he is also concerned about chaos..."
Rogxin showed a hint of curiosity on his face: "I just felt a little strange here, what happened in the town?"
Seeing Rogsin's curious look, the young mayor couldn't help but lift his spirits! As if the drowning man had encountered a lifesaver, he hurriedly began to tell Rogxin what had happened.
"Here's the thing: About a month and a half ago, Randy's child disappeared and didn't return all night, and I mobilized the whole town to search for a whole day in a fifty-mile radius but couldn't find it. One night after about a week, the Trunk family's youngest son was gone, and in this way, every few nights someone would go missing, at first it was a child who often played outside, so the adults took the child home early every day to guard it, but soon, there would be children missing during the day, and then even adults went out and never came home, and the number of missing people each time changed from one person to two or three. For a while, there was no place in the whole town to feel at ease,"
"Then why not move out?"
"It's not like we haven't tried, but the people who move away will be left with only one head left in the pond in the center of town the next day,"
"I'm going to trap you here!"
"I thought so, too, but there was nothing I could do, and on the third day of the disappearance, I had the sheriff, Mr. White, intensify his patrols. When the incident became serious, I had to use the family heirloom magic artifact to ask for help from Tara's side, and a week earlier Tara sent an officer to investigate, but just the day before yesterday, when the officer went to Trunk's house to inquire about the situation, he never came out, and Trunk's family of three was gone. I can't go out and can't get out, and it's not safe at home, so many residents have begun to participate in patrols, in fact, they just want to have a sense of security by holding together. ”
"Have you ever thought that it was the inner ghost who committed the crime? After all, neither monsters nor curiosities could be so meticulous that there was no clue for a month, and it was even more impossible for a beast. ”
"Of course I've thought about that, but we don't have any means of detection, and rash action will only make everyone suspicious of each other and make the situation more complicated. Seriously, I don't know what to do anymore!Mr. Rogsing, I beg you to help me! I know it's rude to make such a sudden request, but I really can't do anything about it! Please, as long as you can agree, I will find a way to accommodate you, no matter how much you are paid!"
"En~interesting~~ I took this commission! I will write a note to you! I guess this case was done by the ghost, and now that the identity of the prisoner in Jili probably knows, there will definitely be some scruples today, let's rest early first, and then start an investigation tomorrow!" Rogxin commanded everyone with a posture of "I am a detective".
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow jumped from the second floor of the mayor's house, and disappeared in a flash, and a teenager appeared from the shadow of the building, followed by Rogersin and Geely.
"Brother Rogge, did you find something?"
"Well, there are some. The first is why did the investigator visit the second victim's family again on the fifth day of the investigation? Generally speaking, the first victim has a special meaning in the whole case, why didn't he go to the first? There are two possibilities: first, what clues he found or what suspicions he had to ask the Trunk family for verification, and second, it was a mortal who deliberately pointed the line to the Trunk family. In any case, he must have found something that alarmed the prisoners, so that the prisoners would set up an ambush to attack him and wipe out the Trunks. ”
"So we're going to try our luck at the scene, wouldn't it be better to have a little love?"
"No, there's something wrong with that young mayor, he's hiding something from us. That sheriff's attitude towards Xiao Ai was also strange, so I asked Xiao Ai to keep an eye on the mayor, and he might make a move tonight. ”
"Xiao Ai, can she do it?" Geely couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Don't worry, her strength is no worse than yours, and I still have a back hand. ”
"No, I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about whether she's going to fall asleep. ”
“......”
At this time, Xiao Ai, who was underestimated by Geely, quietly followed when she saw the mayor sneaking out of the door. Although she was a little scared in her heart, when she thought of Brother Rogge's entrustment, she kept cheering herself up: "Xiao Ai, you can do it, don't live up to Brother Rogge's trust!" And what Xiao Ai didn't know was that there was a crow following her and watching her all the time.
Little Ai walked behind the mayor for a while, and came to a house. He stepped forward and knocked on the door rhythmically, and the door was quickly opened, and Xiao Ai looked at it, and it was the sheriff who opened the door!
