At seven o'clock in the afternoon, on the small island in the middle of Longxin Lake, Poirot and Bonn walked around the island. Poirot said, "Hey Bonn, when are we going to turn here?

Bonn, who was walking in front, said: "Don't worry, the master will find us." ”

"The host didn't know we were here. ”

Bonn said: "Why are you so stupid, we don't know where the master is, but the master is so smart, of course he knows that we are here." ”

"Oh, yes. Poirot followed Bonn from one island to another, and suddenly he saw a man sitting on a sand dune on the shore of the lake.

Bonn whispered, "Ahhhh

Poirot said on a big rock, "Let's not go over, you see that man is looking around, he must be looking for us to sit there and rest, if we are found by him, he will definitely be caught." Although he may not be able to catch us alone, when he shouts, many, many people will appear, just like wolves, as long as the wolf barks, more wolves will appear. ”

Bonn nodded: "Well, you're right, we're not right for him to find out, hide quickly, go over there, hide on another island." The two quickly pouted and fled.

Sitting on the dune island was Cheman Hohenheim, of course, looking around, anxiously waiting, with a box of panocus in his hand, waiting for the kidnappers to bring his wife to exchange with him.

In the distance, a man looked at Hoinheim, who was sitting on the sand dunes, and immediately turned away.

As it gets darker, Cindermore Street is bustling with activity, and a large casino in the downtown area is even more lively. This big casino is bigger than the casino in Paradise Building, and it must be a special casino, with more gambling equipment and gameplay. And there is no limit to the status of people here, anyone can come in, even if you are a civilian with only five gold coins, you can also play a few here, because the minimum bet amount here is one gold coin, so there are more people who come here to play.

Of course, not all markets support a minimum bet of 1 gold, and people like those who gamble in private rooms play large bets. Andrew was in the lobby of the casino with a hand of chips, playing for a while, but his eyes were looking at the staircase leading to the private room upstairs. According to the inquiry, Hausen, who was particularly fond of gambling, gambled with others in the private rooms upstairs, but those private rooms were not allowed to enter by those who were not invited, so he had to wait in the hall.

Andrew played for a while, came to the food next to him and took a cocktail to drink, looked at the big wooden clock in the corner, it was already 8:15 in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient: "I've been here for four or five hours, why haven't I come out yet." ”

As he spoke, a group of people came down the golden staircase, most of them were talking and laughing, some were talking about something, some were smiling with half a smile in their eyes, but with confidence and a little joy on their faces, they were obviously the ones who had won the money, and some of them were smiling very reluctantly, talking to the people around them, and they knew without saying that they were the ones who had lost the money, and they were the ones who had won a lot.

"Hausen, your luck isn't very good today. "The person who spoke was a young woman, and if Bing Zhixiao was here, he would definitely recognize this young woman as the one who teased him in the Heavenly Tower.

Haosen laughed and said, "Madame is the biggest winner today, I can't compare with Madame." ”

The young woman laughed and said, "You are too modest, I have never seen you lose." ”

"If Madame continues to have good luck like this, maybe she will see it one day. ”...,

The young woman said, "I'm looking forward to coming over there, let's make an appointment." ”

Andrew put down his glass, exchanged his chips for money, and followed Hausen out of the casino.

At the end of the journey, Andrew followed Howson to a residential area, where Howson was about to go home when he suddenly noticed someone following him, so he turned around and came to a relatively secluded and uninhabited place.

Andrew took the wrong path the other party was leading, knew that he had been discovered, and was about to leave, but Hausen in front of him stopped him.

"You've been following me, do you want to leave like this?" Hausen said as the man ran towards Andrew, two big fists like hammers and a strong wind towards him.

Andrew raised his hand to block the opponent's fist, only to feel that the opponent's fist was very strong, and he actually shook himself back two steps, but Andrew is not a person who can be slaughtered, and he fights with the opponent hand-to-hand with his bare hands.

After a few minutes of fighting, both of them stopped, and Hausen knew that it was impossible to subdue the other party and then interrogate him, and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Andrew glanced at it and saw several vigilantes approaching not far away, so he ran in the other direction.

After a while, two security officers ran over and asked Hausen, "I saw you fighting with someone again, what's the matter?"

Haosen said: "I don't know, that person followed me, I thought he was going to rob and did it, my family lives near here." ”

When the security officer saw that the people had run away, and he couldn't catch up if he wanted to chase them, he said to Haosen: "Don't make trouble in our jurisdiction, don't hear it, there have been a lot of things in the royal capital recently, don't make trouble for us, don't hear it." ”

"Hmph. Hausen rubbed his hands and returned home.

The clown Link who was hiding in the distance saw that the tracking was fruitless, and said in his heart: "Forget it, go back to the hotel first and make a record of the situation here." ”

......

At dusk, Sofina walked on the streets of the neighborhood, and the setting sun stretched her shadow so long.

Judy followed her and said, "It's more secluded over there, and if you want to hide, you should hide in a place where there are fewer people, let's go over there and have a look." ”

Walking along a small river in the civilian area, it was time for dinner, and there was no one on the way. After walking for a while, people are more scarce, the small buildings made of red bricks on both sides, the highest is only about three or four floors, the smoke of cooking in the alleys from time to time, occasionally you can see one or two dirty beggars looking for food in the garbage cans in the alleys, just like stray cats and stray dogs that no one takes care of.

Seeing this, Judy's face gradually changed color, and her cheeks, which were red and sweaty, became pale at this time.

Turning a corner along the river, there seemed to be more beggars nearby, and the river flowed beside it under the green grassy slope, crossed a stone bridge in front of it, and flowed farther away.

Finally, Judy stopped. Sofina looked back at the strange Judy and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Judy looked at the stone bridge in front of her, her eyes trembling, everything she had experienced under the stone bridge many years ago was constantly rolling towards her mind like a phantom. The stinking beggar, Linda's wicked sneer, her hoarse resistance under the stone bridge, and countless dirty hands, touching her body and tearing her clothes......

"Judy, Judy. Sofina pulled her and shook her.

Judy suddenly screamed, turned around, and ran back.

"Judy!" Sofina chased after her, and it took a few moments for the two to stop. Sofina saw Judy, who was covering her mouth and suppressing her sobs, and she suddenly understood: "What you experienced happened in that place just now?"

Judy closed her eyes and nodded, tears dripping down her eyelashes. That's right, it was there, and it was there that the worst tragedy of her life began. She sat on the ground against the corner of the wall, sobbing, "Let's go, let's get out of here, woman...... That woman must be here. If she were to see me again, I don't know what else she would do to me, she was a demon, the most terrifying and cruel woman on Shijie!"...,

Sofina crouched beside her, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only help her up: "Let's get out of here first." ”

Coming to a lively park, the lively environment can relax the heart of fear. Sofina bought a glass of ice water and handed it to her and sat down beside her.

Judy's heart did gradually relax, and her pale face gradually became a little more human, she took the tissue handed by Sofina and wiped the tears under her eyes: "I...... I'm fine, I'm much better. ”

Sofina sighed in her heart and said to her, "After so many years, the damage there still has such a deep impact on you. Sofina knew that the injuries she had suffered were not just raped, she must have been tortured in a very human way to make her hurt so deeply.

Judy closed her eyes and shook her head, clearly unwilling to hear or recall what had happened there.

"Well, I won't talk about that. Sofina said: "I don't think I can continue to look for it today, anyway, there is no clue, let's go back to the hotel first." ”

Walking on the road, Judy saw Sofina frowning and said, "I said I wanted to leave here, but I was just ...... Just casually, I will accompany you to find the Ice Childish Evil, and I will not leave until then. ”

"Don't force yourself, if you really can't stay here, why don't you wait for me outside the city for the time being. ”

Judy smiled, but smiled a little reluctantly: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, those things are in the past, and the most important thing now is to find your beloved little lover." ”

Sofina smiled reluctantly, but she knew in her heart that this matter had never been in her mind, and that this nightmare had always haunted her, just as she was still tormented. Sofina said: "Now we have to determine a direction to find him as soon as possible, there is no direction and clues to find someone, in this large royal capital, it is like a man fishing in a river." ”

Judy said: "I don't know what happened to that attractive man, he is a local, if you can ask him for help, maybe you can help us." ”

"He should be in Longxin Lake now, I hope he can safely exchange his wife with the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone. ”

Looking at Sofina and Judy who were gradually walking away, Norton licked the cream ice cream in his hand: "Dragon Heart Lake, Ten Thousand Eyes Stone." ”
