Chapter 12: Crisis Strikes

The other neighbors nodded in admiration.

In good conscience, if they had to choose one of two candidates, they would choose Venia without hesitation.

The reason why Jenny still has weight in talking on Stardew Street is completely because everyone is forced by her obscenity.

Seeing that she had lost both face and heart today, Jenny had no choice but to leave with her daughter without saying a word.

After the onlookers left, Venia excitedly came to Charlotte and said angrily:

"Stinky boy, when did you awaken the Chosen Physique? Don't say a word to me. ”

Charlotte said with a haha: "I wanted to tell you today, I will surprise you." ”

Venia touched Charlotte's head and exhaled with relief, tears already faintly glistening in her blue eyes.

"Our Reinhardt family has finally come out of the way, and we no longer have to be looked down upon and excluded."

"Sister Venia......"

Charlotte saw the tears in the corners of her sister's eyes, and couldn't help but think that she had supported the family alone all these years, and he was always very willful and went his own way, wandering in Yerba Buena Town, and becoming a well-known street runner.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

So, looking at his sister with tears in his eyes, he had to open his arms enthusiastically.

Then Venia walked straight over to him and hugged Ilya not far behind him.

"Sister Elijah, you will be a member of the Reinhardt family in the future, you're welcome."

"Uh-huh...... Ilya's head nodded like a chick pecking rice, and a pair of big eyes were harmless to humans and animals, "so when is dinner?" ”

……

After dinner, Charlotte was resting in her room.

With a creak, the door crept open, and Ilya, like a stealing kitten, crept into his room again.

"I hope Miss knock on the door before you enter the door next time, so as not to see anything terrifying, I'm afraid it will scare you." Charlotte said coldly and dissatisfied.

"What? Is there an invisible boundary in your room? Ilya looked to the left and right vigilantly.

Indeed, its scientific name is the Armstrong Slalom Acceleration Jet...... Forget it, what are you looking for me? ”

Ilya sat down on the edge of the bed, and in Venia's tone, she suggested earnestly:

"Mr. Charlotte, even if you don't want to go to Aktor University, you have to find a way to join the official formation of the Mounted Police Corps in Yerba Buena. If Sister Vinia can get the Neighborhood Officer, she should be able to find a way to get you in.

In this way, it is good to cover our true identity and also help to get more ranking points. ”

Although Ilya was serious, Charlotte still saw her take the opportunity to lick the meat scraps at the corner of her mouth with her little tongue, and she was afraid that she hadn't gone to the kitchen to eat it again just now.

"The formal establishment of the Mounted Police Corps is not very easy to enter, and as you can see today, the affairs officers of a small neighborhood have been rolled up like this." Charlotte spread her hands.

A radish is a pit, and a good position has long been carved up by internal relational households.

However, if you think about it, joining the Mounted Police Corps is indeed conducive to getting more ranking points, because the work of the Mounted Police is destined to come into contact with many fallen demons and witches.

Speaking of which, he was also curious, how did the other demon degenerates find each other?

Because of the existence of the Chosen Vest, it is equivalent to each demon being in a state of war between each other, and those Chosen ones who usually look normal when they are hidden around may be the Demon Fallen.

"If the fallen demons let go of each other's breath, they can sense each other, and at that time, only the Chosen One will be kept in the dark." Ilya explained.

Charlotte realized, it's as if there are PokΓ©mon lurking around her, which is really exciting to think about.

Ilya changed his words and said:

"However, I really envy the relationship between you and Sister Venia."

Seeing that Elijah's expression was very serious, Charlotte was also curious about what the witch had experienced before breaking the cocoon.

Why are they born into adulthood, and the Witch Council seems to have trained them in a cocoon, so what is their background and childhood life like?

He was about to ask the question, only to find that Ilya had exited the room early.

"Remember to knock on the door next time." Charlotte shook her head helplessly, collapsed and fell asleep.

In the early hours of the next morning, while asleep, Charlotte vaguely sensed a knock on the front door of the house, and then he heard the sound of a creaking door open, and the sound of Vinia greeting guests, and then heard the door slam shut.

Charlotte ignored it and went back to sleep.

In the hazy sleep, he suddenly heard a noise outside.

He covered his head with a pillow, but he didn't expect the noise to get louder and louder.

Then, Ilya pushed open the door and broke into the house, and said in a panic: "Oh no, Sister Venia seems to have an accident!" ”

Charlotte sat up, fully conscious, and pushed open the door to look around, but Venia was not at home.

At this moment, a group of reinforcements from the Frank Mounted Police Corps hurried past the door, rolling up clouds of smoke and dust on the ground.

Charlotte and Elijah looked at each other, his heart sank, and he and Elijah ran in the direction of the cavalry.

At this time, at the door of Jenny's house on the street corner, a large number of horses of the mounted police regiment had gathered, and the steam horse armor spewed out a trace of steam.

And from afar, Charlotte heard Jenny's crying and grabbing the ground, combined with the mist that made the morning of the entire Yerba grass town reveal a strange treachery.

Lya's pretty face was solemn.

"Mr. Charlotte, there's a witch's breath in the mist......"

"Where?" Charlotte looked around wary.

She shook her head in confusion.

"I still need time to find out what the other party has to do."

Charlotte frowned slightly, the appearance of the witch was really not the right time.

In the thick fog, the woman's cry was heard again.

"Mr. Paul, it must have been Venia who killed my daughter, and you must decide for me and give her the judgment she deserves in the name of the goddess Thea."

Charlotte, who heard the cry, sank in her heart and hurriedly ran forward.

Jenny was emotional, her whole body was extremely haggard, and her face was gray, which was completely different from the provocative look she had when she went to Venia's house yesterday.

In front of her, there was a stretcher, on which lay a person who had been covered with a white cloth, none other than her daughter Tori.

Ilya couldn't help but cover her mouth, her face full of disbelief, the person who was alive yesterday had completely turned into a corpse overnight.

Not far from Tori's body, Venia had been seized by the guards of the Mounted Police, and she was tied up with leather bindings, and her whole face was pale and weak.

Charlotte's pupils suddenly tightened, and she whispered to the knights: "Who allowed you to be so rude and let my sister go!" ”

With that, he walked over to Venia.

Buzz –

An invisible aetheric energy rushed towards him.

Charlotte felt a dullness in her chest, and her whole body was forced to take a step back, but he quickly stabilized his figure.

On the opposite side, a mounted policeman dressed in delicate carved armor was holding a steam alloy hand cannon in his hand and aimed it at Charlotte.

High-pressure steam constantly vented pressure from the gauntlet of the hand cannon, making a clanging sound.

"It was just an empty cannon that compressed the air, I hope you can get enough warnings."

This person is tall, full of fine yellow hair, inverted hanging eyes, a slender hooked nose, and his facial features can be said to be completely untouched with Zhongzheng's solemnity, and the whole person reveals a full ruffian.

He is Paul, the deputy commander of the 3rd Division of the Frank Mounted Police Regiment in Yerba Buena, and the Sequence 9 Gunner.

It's been a long time since there has been a homicide on Stardew Street, and it seems that even people at the level of deputy head are alarmed.

"Venia is now a suspect in the murder and needs to cooperate with the Mounted Police Regiment's investigation."

"What evidence do you have that Sister Venia is a suspect?"

Ilya also stepped forward, and Silly Fur swayed left and right in anger.

Jenny saw that the people of the Reinhardt family were still stiff-mouthed, and her fat shoulders trembled violently with anger.

"We just had a conflict with your family yesterday, Venia must have a grudge, we are in competition over the affairs of the officer, and she has enough motives to kill."

Then, she looked at Venia who was tied up, and her tone revealed grief:

"This morning, I kindly invited your sister to my house for tea, hoping to release my suspicions.

At that time, there were only two people in the tea room, my daughter and Venia, the door and window were locked from the inside, and when we broke in, they were all lying at the table, but only Vinia woke up, and my daughter never woke up. ”

Hearing this, Charlotte frowned, it sounds like although Venia is suspicious, but there are too many unreasonable places, killing people in the secret room and then locking herself in the secret room?
