Chapter XXVII: The Case Galaxy

Anton and Rongruo went to the backyard to settle MΓΌller's mule, while Jasmine took the rest of the people into the house. Taking advantage of this moment, Xinghe also began to look at the house.

The house is luxurious, with polished birch floors, violet-patterned wallpaper on the walls, intricate carvings on the ceiling, and gilt ornaments throughout. It's just that what doesn't correspond to this luxury is the desertion of the house, Jasmine said that the servants in the house are gone, but the fact is that there is no other living thing in this house except Jasmine, and even Jasmine herself is lifeless.

Jasmine arranged them into the living room, poured each of them a glass of water, and then clubbed in the corner of the living room in a daze without saying a word. Seeing that she was preoccupied, Xinghe didn't bother her, and sat quietly on the chair to drink water.

Anton and Rong Ruo soon came back from the backyard noisily, and as soon as they entered the living room, Rong Ruo said to Jasmine, who was still in a daze: "Ms. Jasmine, do you have anything to eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”

Jasmine, who had just been interrupted from her daze, was stunned for a moment and quickly came to her senses, counted the number of children, and said, "Wait a while." With that, she left the living room, apparently preparing food.

Rong Ruo kept staring at Jasmine, and as soon as Jasmine left the living room, she couldn't wait to start patrolling the living room, rummaging through here and there.

"What are you doing?" asked Anton.

"Don't talk nonsense, go watch it for me, and she'll tell me when she comes back. Rong Ruo pushed him away after giving the order, and then continued to her search.

"Rong Ruo, isn't this not good, after all, this is someone else's home. Xiaoxin couldn't help but speak, she had a good upbringing and a thin skin, and she seemed to be unable to accept Rong Ruo's behavior for a while.

However, Xinghe did not have any resistance to this, after all, when he was in Jiangcheng back then, he did a lot of illegal things. Compared to that, what Rong Ruo was doing now was nothing at all, and he probably guessed that Rong Ruo was looking for information about the owner of the house.

So he leaned over and asked, "What are you looking for?" He had been a pickpocket for a while, and he knew better what was more valuable, but he was blind to what could show his identity.

"Photographs, portraits, or something with heraldic engravings. Rong Ruo replied casually and grabbed her hair, "It's strange, this house looks like it's not a short time, why can't you see any historical objects?"

got Rong Ruo's guidance, Xinghe also began to search, the living room is not small, but there are not many objects worth seeing inside, large furniture such as sofas and dining tables are very ordinary, and there are no symbols engraved on them. As for the cups from which they drank water, although there were some patterns on them, they were just ordinary decorations. As for the trinkets in the living room that seem to be of great value, although they are all exquisite, there is no heraldic on them to show their status. As for the portrait, there is a clear rectangular mark on the wall of the living room, but the painting that originally hung on it has long since been moved.

"Looks like there's a word on this?" Shigego reads, gesturing to a spot in the fireplace.

"I'll see. Xiaorou walked to the fireplace and looked carefully at the place he pointed, "Crewe, it's Maowen's language, and it seems to mean a friend." Isn't it, sister?"

"It seems to mean 'best friend', but I don't remember it very clearly. Xiaoxin replied.

Crewe Xinghe felt as if he had heard the word somewhere, but for a moment he couldn't remember it, and he walked towards the fireplace, where Shigego was referring to a brick on the inner wall of the fireplace, which was blackened by the fireplace, but barely visible traces of the lettering.

It's just that before he had time to take a closer look, Anton's coughing sound sounded behind him. When Xinghe heard the news, he knew that Jasmine was back, so he had to put down the doubts in his heart and return to the chair and sit down.

Jasmine came back with a basket, and she gave each of them a piece of bread and a bowl of vegetable soup, "Things are a little simpler, I hope you will get used to eating." ”

"The food was delicious, thank you, Ms Jasmine. Xinghe took a bite of bread and took a sip of vegetable soup, but to be honest, the bread was a little hard and the vegetable soup was a little salty.

Jasmine didn't show any praise for him, she watched them eat, and she didn't know what she remembered, and she was stunned again. But she soon came to her senses and asked them, "I don't know what you all call them?"

"My name is Rongruo, Hegu Rongruo. Rong Ruo put down the bowl and replied.

After Rong Ruo, Xinghe and others also introduced themselves. After listening to their introduction, Jasmine asked, "Is there anything important that you have come to Saku Village, which is not safe now?" ”

"Ms. Jasmine, we're here to investigate this. Rong Ruo looked at Jasmine very seriously, "I'm a junior agent at Valhalla, and I'm here to investigate the disappearance of Saku Village, do you have any clues?"

"Detectives?" Jasmine was not convinced by Rong Ruo's words at all, but persuaded her: "Children, believe me, Saku Village is really not safe now, it is not a place for children to explore, you better take a sleigh home early tomorrow morning, otherwise your family will also be worried." ”

"I'm really an agent at Valhalla!" Rong Ruo argued.

"Can you show me your papers?" Jasmine asked.

"Documents, documents. Rong Ruo was speechless, looking a little embarrassed, "My documents are now in addition to some problems, but I am really a junior agent of Valhalla!"

This statement was obviously unconvincing, and the expression on Jasmine's face became serious, and she said in a childlike tone: "Miss Hegu, the game of playing the detective is over, Saku Village is really not a place to have fun now, it is better to hurry up and take your companions home." ”

"Uh, damn it, we're really not here to play. Suddenly, Rong Ruo thought of an idea, and she looked at Anton, "Quickly release a spell." ”

"What, I'm not a trickster. Anton was a little unhappy.

Rong Ruo glared at him, gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry up~ do it!"

Anton's momentum weakened, and although he still looked a little unhappy, he began to chant the incantation, and soon a bright ball of light appeared in the palm of his hand.

The sudden appearance of the ball of light startled Jasmine, and in order to enhance her persuasiveness, after Anton extinguished the ball of light, Xinghe also controlled the tableware in front of him to float, and then said to Jasmine: "Ms. Jasmine, you see, we are all spellcasters, not ordinary children like you think. ”

Jasmine's expression finally faltered a little, but she still said, "But you are still children, and you shouldn't be involved in this." ”

"Ms. Jasmine, you don't have to worry about this, there will be agents from Valhalla coming later, we just came here to collect information first. Rong Ruo stared at Sophia and continued, "So can you tell us about the disappearance?"

Jasmine's face was cloudy, and she finally sighed, found a chair and sat down, and began to tell the story of what was happening in the village.

It all started six months ago, when someone was collecting Levi flowers in a nearby village, which is a small white flower that is quite common in this area. The buyers asked for a large amount, and soon the wild leviti flowers in the nearby villages were harvested, after all, they were not food crops or cash crops, and no one would grow them specifically.

The purchase price given by the person who bought the Levy Flower was good, at least much higher than the harvest of grain, and there were a lot of things like Levy Flowers in the forest, so some people in Saku Village formed a team to enter the Misty Forest. Although the farmers living in Saku knew that their neighbors in the Misty Forest were not in a good temper, they thought it would not matter if they were just picking some flowers on the periphery.

At first, nothing happened, but the flower collector received enough flowers and left satisfied, and the villagers got the money, and everything was happy. It wasn't until after the beginning of winter that things took shape, and the old Hank family in the village disappeared.

When their neighbor went to visit the door, he found that his door was unlocked, but there was no one in the house. Although the incident was strange, it did not attract much attention from the villagers, because everything in Old Hank's house was neatly laid out, and there was no sign of invasion.

But the second disappearance happened very quickly, another family disappeared, the house was as intact as the house, and this is not the end. One family after another disappeared, and in just ten days, six families disappeared, and everyone found out that it was the people and their families who had formed a team to go into the Misty Forest to pick flowers.

The village quickly sent someone to report the matter to Bourbon City, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone from Bourbon City come to investigate, so the village organized a wave of people to go into the Misty Forest to search, after all, those people seemed to be missing because of the flowers in the forest.

And this is a further expansion of the disappearance case, the search team did not meet Mao Wen, but they did not find the missing person, not only that, when they came back, there were two people missing. In the days that followed, those who had been involved in the search began to disappear again, not as if they were all missing from the previous family, but their families were not completely spared, and they always woke up to find that there was no one in the house.

The village finally blew up at this time, some people ran away with their families, and the rest of the people who didn't run were all closed, and the once wealthy Saku Village suddenly became the desolate it is now.

After listening to Jasmine's story, Xinghe gasped, this thing is really weird, is Mao Wen really doing ghosts behind this.

After listening to the description, Lan Yue thought of something else, and she tentatively asked Jasmine, "Ms. Jasmine, is your family also missing?"

Jasmine looked stunned and nodded, "Yes, my husband and my daughter, my husband participated in the search and rescue team, and he disappeared two days after he came back, and my daughter also disappeared with him." The servants of the house were frightened and all ran away. ”

"I'm sorry. Lan Yue said.

"Nothing. Jasmine shook her head and stood up, "There are a few empty rooms upstairs, if you are sleepy, go up and sleep by yourself, listen to me, this is not something you should be involved in." ”

Jasmine was about to leave, but Xinghe stopped her before she walked out of the living room and asked, "But it's so dangerous here, why don't you leave?"

Jasmine had a bleak smile on her face, "Staying here, there is always a thought, what if they come back?"
