At the end of July 807, there were hundreds of cases of missing children in the capital, and the races of the missing children covered all races of the empire, because of the low proportion of demons among them, and the fact that these disappearances were scattered in various rings of the capital, so no one noticed the connection between these disappearances at first.

It wasn't until a private detective investigated the disappearance of the three children at the request of the principal of Tiangong Academy that he finally found the connection between these disappearances.

There were no first witnesses to the disappearances scattered throughout the capital, no kidnappers showed up to demand any ransom, and the missing children were between the ages of nine and twelve, which is an interesting age group, and if it was for trafficking, the children were a little older, but if it was for other purposes, such as being thrown into a certain mine, they were too young. There are many more suspicious points, but in short, these bizarre disappearances have finally attracted the attention of the Empire.

As of July 49, the founding day, there have been 367 disappearances, and if you count those who have not been filed, the number of missing children may have increased by 20%.

This is also the reason why Ye Zhiqiu is coming to Valhalla today, Xinghe, Anton and Lan Yue are also among the missing, that night, when he and Rong Ruo were in the basement to treat Pixar, the three of them left the Ye family's mansion, saying that they were going out for a walk, and never came back.

From the first time he saw Xinghe, Ye Zhiqiu confirmed this from his eyes, Xinghe would not leave the capital without saying a word with Lan Yue, even if he really looked at the boy wrongly, the capital now has no boat to take them back to Jiangcheng.

However, what really convinced Ye Zhiqiu that something had happened to the three children was the mark he left on Lan Yue's body, for the purpose of protection, he left an imprint on Lan Yue's body for tracking, but now he couldn't find where the mark was, someone had blocked or eliminated that mark, and with Xinghe's ability, he would definitely not be able to do that.

He also had doubts about whether the secret party had done anything, because it was because there were signs in the secret party that he wanted to get rid of Lan Yue, so he had to hurriedly bring Lan Yue under his nose, but this time, Gu Xihai assured him that no one in the secret party did anything, although Gu Xihai was boring, but he did know more about the secret party than himself, since he said that this matter had nothing to do with the secret party, then this matter really had nothing to do with the secret party.

The route of the three children before their disappearance was towards the house where the Dusk Rain couple lived two years ago in the seventh district of the 14th Ring Road, but they did not reach their destination, in the process of investigation, Ye Zhiqiu found these abnormal number of missing children, because the mysterious death of the previous college teacher has not subsided, and the old guys of the secret party have made it clear that the secret party family must keep a low profile during this time, and there are too many bizarre places in this disappearance case, so Ye Zhiqiu cannot call the investigation power of the secret party in this matter.

So Ye Zhiqiu had to hire a private detective who was quite famous, and paid him to summarize the information he had collected and spread it to attract the attention of the empire and use the power of the empire to investigate this matter.

Letting the imperial official intervene is only one aspect, although in this time, he can't use the reconnaissance power of the secret party, but it doesn't mean that he can't use the power of the Ye family, the Ye family is a very special family among the thirteen secret parties, the number of people in this family has never been very small, especially in this generation, Twilight Snow and Twilight Rain have passed away, and the only outsiders left in the Ye family's generation are Ye Zhiqiu, and the younger generation of the Ye family is only Xiaoxin and Xiaorou.

But the Ye family has always been very important to the entire secret party, because among the descendants of the Ye family, there are often people with prophetic ability, for the secret party hidden in the shadows, the prophet is their eyes to spy into the future, and it is the guide of the secret party, which is also the reason why no one objected when Ye Zhiqiu married Ye Duxue, entered the Ye family, and became the heir of the Ye family's foundation, he was a prophet, and he was a very capable prophet.

However, for the Ye family, they not only have a prophet, they also have an ancient master, Ford is Ah Fu, who has been a housekeeper in the Ye family for decades, maybe someone has forgotten his ability as an ancient master, but Ye Zhiqiu will not, and Ah Fu is also happy to help search for the traces of Twilight's only daughter.

After a few days of persistent searching, Ye Zhiqiu and he really found a clue, it was in the Fifth Ring District 1, they found a trace of the spellcaster's battle near one of the missing scenes, where Ah Fu observed a very interesting image of the past.

A slightly chubby middle-aged demon spirit was found when he walked through the alley with an unconscious boy, the other party was a young demon spirit, and a spellcaster, seeing that he was discovered, the slightly chubby demon spirit chose to extinguish his mouth, Ah Fu clearly told Ye Zhiqiu that he did not sneak attack, nor did he use any magic to kill the opponent who was not weak, the technique was clean and neat, and he only used a dagger as a weapon.

What interested Ye Zhiqiu was the inscription on the dagger, he taught the history of magic in the academy, and his memory was not bad, when Ah Fu drew the nightingale-shaped engraving for him, he felt that he had seen it somewhere, and after a day and a night of struggle in the academy's library, he found the meaning of the nightingale-shaped engraving.

So he came to Valhalla and asked Dan Merson to help him secretly meet with the Empire's ruler, Kong El, because it was destined to be a shady meeting.

He didn't call Gu Qiushi, it was Ah Fu who drove him to Valhalla, and Dan Mosheng had been waiting for him in Victory Square for a long time, as he usually did when he came to visit as a friend, and led him through the grand gate of the main hall several meters high, no one would doubt the purpose of his visit.

It wasn't until he walked into a remote corridor that Ye Zhiqiu asked, "How is your daughter?"

"Thanks to you, she's not awake yet. After seeing that there was no one around, the smile on Dan Merson's face disappeared.

"I'm sorry. Ye Zhiqiu was silent for a while and then said, in the end, Rong Ruo and Pixar successfully concluded a demon-making relationship that day, but the girl also fell into a coma, although there was no danger to her life, but she had not been able to regain consciousness until now.

Dan Morson looked at the sky through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor and sighed, "It's her own choice, besides, I want to correct a little bit, I'm just her adoptive father." ”

Ye Zhiqiu frowned, he didn't like to get involved in other people's private affairs, but as an educator, he still couldn't help but speak, "I haven't been able to understand you in this matter, and telling a little girl these things may not be beneficial to her growth." ”

"We have different philosophies about education, and at least for this student, I'm not bad at teaching. Dan Merson said, placing his hand on the door at the end of the corridor.

"You have taught him very poorly when it comes to teaching him to behave above board. Ye Zhiqiu commented.

"Perhaps, but he's an emperor after all. Danmerson said, pushing open the door to the room.
