Ivas thought of the fresh, hot white crown bills, and more bills in his bag.

It's not like a paycheck. If it is a reward, it should be placed in an envelope that can be easily sealed and carried. If you put it in your bag in a mess, you may not only lose or damage it, but also cause unnecessary disputes.

And the newly acquired money is even more unlikely - it makes no sense to hide it directly in the backpack. Besides, a small township like Muwan County can't easily withdraw so much money.

Judging by the texture and material of the clothes...... Then this money should belong to the man who was shot in the back. That is, the owner of Ivus's coat, pants, shirt, and sweater.

The coat was intact, but the shirt and sweater had a gunshot wound that ran through the back. And the wound is right in the middle of the back, and there is not much blood at the same time. Explain that his clothes were taken off shortly after the injury.

The couple claimed that Agney was a murderer and seemed to know him — they were either swindlers, smugglers, or counterfeit drug sellers. They weren't any serious people, and they recognized Agni's face at a glance.

This suggests that Agnes is either famous, or they have only seen Agni's face recently. For strangers who need to introduce themselves, being able to impress a stranger's face and almost instantly tell who Agney is...... That means they should have just heard about Agni.

In this case, Agni's statement that "I am a teacher and I am traveling with my daughter" is naturally unreliable.

But when they hadn't seen Daiya, they relied on Agni's words to make sure that Agni was followed by a "noisy little guy...... He was even willing to sell Ivas an expensive potion to calm her down.

- To sum up, there is only one possibility.

"Agni" is a wanted kidnapper and possibly an escapee, and the name should be his real name. There was no television or radio in this era, so the couple must have seen Agni's identity in the newspaper not long ago.

Apparently, Agni got the ransom. But Daya was still with him.

And Daya said she had a dream in which her father stripped naked and swam in the river.

- Could it be that he was stabbed in the back by Agnes when he took off his coat. And then after the clothes were taken off by Agni, the body was thrown into the river?

And just as Ivus had forgotten this memory, so had Daya.

This would explain the money in the bag, the gunshot wounds on his clothes, Daya's dreams, and the anomalies in him.

There was only one thing that made Ivus a little confused.

Why is Daya still following him? Or rather...... Why hasn't he killed Daya yet?

Taking advantage of Merlin's awkward conversation with the unusually enthusiastic dancer, Ivas squinted and stood aside in thought.

- There must be a reason why so many of them are gathered here under the storm. Maybe there may be no reason in reality, just pure coincidence, but since this history will be extracted and modified into rituals, it definitely has a reason and a connection.

It's like seeing a very annoying person in a film and television drama, and you will think at most how he will be deflated in the future; But if you see this kind of person in Detective Conan, then you can start to wonder who the murderer is at this time.

In terms of identity, there really is no connection between them.

But if "Agni" is a kidnapper, a murderer...... Or if you look at it from the perspective of the escaped prisoner who kidnapped the little girl.

Ivus was keenly aware of a problem lurking beneath his identity.

- Agni's wanted news appeared in the newspaper "Cow and Harbor", and the husband and wife saw the newspaper and knew themselves; Merlin is playing the role of a reporter for "The Cow and the Harbor" at the moment; And this old overseer should have been chasing after him. These people all have a reason to come together.

Then the question arises.

What is this dancer here for?

Or rather...... Is she really a stripper?

Who is she most likely to be in this situation?

Ivus's heart moved, and he had a vague guess.

Agnes was not a good guy in the first place. The same is true of the couple, whether they are counterfeit drug dealers or smugglers, they are not good people. The journalist's real identity is Jacob Alexander, the founder of the Scaleless Hand, who likes to kill people by cursing and is in a sense a hired killer.

And the old inspector played by pure white -

He came here alone...... And what about his griffon?

Besides, griffons are not afraid of storms, even half-breed griffins. After all, the griffon's means of attack are storms and thunder.

Or rather......

Is he really an Overseer?

Or was he just wearing leather armor and holding an elven dagger...... But not an Overseer at all?

From this point of view, they don't seem to be a good thing except for Daiya. So who could be such a dancer with a flat face and a good figure who is active in the township area?

There is no evidence from Eivers. But he could test one round at a time.

"There's something I want to talk to this young lady about."

Suddenly, Ivas said to reporters and monitors.

"Alone?"

The reporter asked, "Do you need me to be there?" ”

"No, you can go out too."

"Okay, no problem."

The reporter simply answered, and then directly stopped the conversation between himself and the dancer, and left with the old inspector.

The old inspector also seemed a little confused, but he did not resist the reporter. but obediently followed him away.

"Sir, you are looking for me...... Are you here to talk about business? ”

The dancer is alone with the strong Agni, but she is still undaunted.

She just smiled and leaned over, and gently pressed her right hand against Ivus's chest: "The price is negotiable......

Evas didn't hold her hand, but asked, "Do you know me?" ”

"Are you a famous person? A star on a rugby team? ”

The dancer said with a smile, disapproving.

But Eivas shook his head, and just whispered a few words in her ear. The dancer's face changed suddenly.

Ewas's first words were: "The shadow is our mother, and poison and medicine are our sisters." ”

Immediately afterwards, he said, "Master Siriax greets you. ”

Then Ivus asked again, "Do you know me now?" ”

The dancer looked at Ivus in disbelief. She hesitated for a moment and took out a lipstick from her bosom: "Do you know what this is?" ”

- Good, I guessed it right the first time.

Ai Huas originally thought that if he guessed wrong this time, he would continue to try one by one. Anyway, when she got to the next floor, she couldn't remember anything.

And this is the key information that is absolutely impossible for a normal player to obtain - in other words, it is at least a hidden clue.

He cautiously took the lipstick, careful not to touch it. Seeing his posture, the dancer was already relieved.

Looking at its dark red luster, Ivus asked uncertainly, "Is it [Love]?" ”

"That's right, my brother. Be careful, don't touch it. ”

The dancer breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew her lipstick.

After a moment's thought, she replied, "The identity you are using now is supposed to be Agni Shiva, who was imprisoned for robbing a bank. Escaped from prison three days ago and kidnapped the banker's daughter, Daiya...... Why do you use this identity?

"Or is there something wrong with your memory?"

"I suspect that everyone's memory is wrong – I just had hallucinations that I was really Daya's father. I wondered if I was really myself until I saw you. ”

"Actually," said Ewas, "I suspect we're all in a dream right now. If you don't recall, what did you forget? ”

Hearing this, the dancer's expression also became serious.

She frowned and pondered for a moment, but still couldn't remember.

She asked, "You mean, there's something wrong with this inn?" ”

Ivas just opened his mouth and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm here to ......"

The dancer blurted out.

But before she could finish speaking, she gradually became surprised.

"What were you trying to say?"

“…… I want to say, I'm here to take shelter from the rain," the dancer frowned, "but it's unlikely to ......"

Ivus reached out and pressed the dancer's arm, and ordered with no doubt, "Give me a quick way to win your trust." I suspect you'll forget all of this at any time afterward. ”

"I'm a 'honey badger' and I've only been in Muwan County for two weeks. These two are sufficient. ”

The dancer still maintained her basic caution: "Is this how the Scaleless Hand joined your investigation team?" ”

"Yes, Jacob and I are looking into this. But don't reveal my identity. ”

Ivus nodded, a somewhat terrifying smile on his scorched face, "See you later, then, sister." ”

"I'll see you later, brother."
