New Territories Intern

Chapter 229 Investigation (2)

Feeling his stare, Su Rui looked up and smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Realizing his impoliteness, Ted hurriedly withdrew his shocked gaze, "It turned out to be like this, thank God, we are really saved."

Eugene got up and said, "Let's go out and learn about the town and its surroundings first."

"Okay." Ted hurriedly stood up, and then said with an apologetic face: "As the mayor, I should guide you to inspect the situation, but because the child at home still needs someone to take care of it, I can't accompany me on this matter." feel very sorry."

Seeing the boy named Marcus hiding behind the door and staring at them with wide eyes, Su Rui couldn't help frowning slightly.

His expression was a bit complicated, as if he wanted to say something...

When Su Rui was thinking of asking, Eugene said, "Okay, let's take our leave first. It's better for civilians to stay at home."

Ted said yes again and again with an apologetic face.

Su Rui and his party left Mayor Ted's house and returned to the streets of the town, only to hear the whistling wind and dust flying in the sky.

"There seem to be two people there." Rupert pointed to two shaking figures in the distance.

When Su Rui and the others rushed over, they saw two young men carrying a bucket of water.

When the two young men saw Su Rui, they were so frightened that the bucket dropped to the ground, and the water spilled all over the floor.

"Who are you?" One of the boys in a white scarf trembled with fear.

This group of strangers, he had never seen them in the town.

"You don't have to be afraid, we just left from Mayor Ted's house, and we are here to investigate the latest disappearance case in the town." Eugene tried his best to smile kindly, so as to relax the two over-stretched young people.

"The mayor said that Wang has paid attention to our town's problems, and he will send someone to deal with them soon. It turns out that the mayor is not lying." The two young people were a little excited, as if they had grasped some life-saving straw.

Eugene asked: "Where is your home? We can send you back to be safer."

"It would be even better if you would do us a favor." Troy interjected, "You guys should be familiar with the surrounding town, right? Can you show us the way?"

"Yes." The two young men looked at each other, "We need to go home and say something first."

"No problem, where is your home, we can send you back."

Eugene shook his hand, and the suitcase he was carrying turned into an energy vehicle in an instant, and the two young men who watched were stunned.

Rupert helped them fill the bucket with water and carried them to the car, led them into the energy vehicle, and drove away according to the route they gave.

According to Eugene's inquiry, the taller one is called Dean, and the shorter one is called Baker. They are two brothers. They seem a little cautious at the moment. Even though they are very curious about this energy vehicle, they are cautiously peeking left and right.

It hurts to see their demeanor and their thin bodies.

Su Rui found some snacks and put them in front of them. When their eyes widened in surprise, he smiled and said, "Eat some."

Dean and Baker glanced at each other, then at the others, seeing that they didn't have any disgust on their faces, grabbed the snack in front of them, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"You look like you haven't eaten for a long time." Troy laughed.

Even if he ate, he didn't seem to have a meal, Su Rui thought.

Looking at Dean who is about 15 years older, Baker is about [-] or [-] years old. He is just growing up, but he looks obviously malnourished.

Baker said while eating: "It's like this, we have very little food."

Troy's original teasing attitude was quickly withdrawn, and his eyes became serious, "Didn't the district always send supplies to several towns with serious problems and closed towns? How can there be people who can't eat enough?"

Baker raised his head and said, "We get very little each time. If we want more, we have to buy it from the mayor at a high price. Our family has no money."

"Don't say it." Dean thought of interrupting Baker many times, but he didn't expect Baker to say it all like pouring beans.

"Don't eat any more." Dean knocked out the fruit in Beck's hand, and when he saw the fruit fell on the ground, Beck immediately went to pick it up, but was stopped by Dean, and Beck burst into tears instantly.

"You can't treat your younger brother like this." Suri pulled Baker over and said to Dean, "How can you bully him as an older brother?"

Dean suddenly knelt down in front of Suri and the others, and begged, "My brother doesn't know anything, and we have no objection to the mayor. I hope you don't take what my brother said just now to heart, and don't tell the mayor."

Su Rui immediately understood what Dean meant. He didn't want to bully his brother, but simply wanted to protect him.

"Don't worry, we are not with the mayor, we are sent by the district king to stand with you."

Suri's gentleness made Dean and Baker gradually let go of their guards.

"Uncle Eugene." Su Rui walked up to Eugene and blinked, "Is it inappropriate for me to call you that?"

Eugene touched the back of his head, "Of course it's no problem!"

"Uncle Eugene, you seem to have known the mayor before?"

Eugene frowned. Hearing what Dean and Baker said just now, Mayor Ted's actions violated the regional law. He didn't want to have anything to do with this unfamiliar person, "I and Ted Mayor De only met once a long time ago, and I don't know him well or familiar with him."

Su Rui nodded, "It seems that Mayor Ted has some problems."

"It's just making money for the country. A person with such an ugly human nature is not worthy of being the mayor." Eugene looked contemptuous.

"arrive."

As soon as the car stopped, Dean and Baker jumped out of the car, ran to a house, knocked on the door excitedly and shouted: "Dad, Dad."

Not long after, the door opened, and a man in a wheelchair appeared in their field of vision.

When he saw Dean and Baker, the man was obviously relieved, but after seeing Suri and the others, he immediately became alert, held the two children in his arms, and asked sharply, "Who are you?"

Before Eugene could speak, Dean got out of his arms, stood up straight and said, "Father, they are not bad people, they are sent by the king."

Following the man's sizing up, Eugene said, "Hello, I am entrusted by King Sweet to bring my companions to investigate the missing persons in the town. This is our captain, Miss Suri."

Suri smiled and said: "Because I suspect it is related to Walker Forest, and I happened to come here through Walker Forest on a mission, so I know a little bit about Walker Forest."

Originally, the man frowned when he saw that the captain was a little girl, but when he heard her talk about crossing Walker Forest, his expression turned into shock.

He was stunned for a while, then regained his composure and moved the wheelchair to the side and said, "Go ahead."

"Let's go first." Bruno strode into the room with a bucket in his hand, and glanced back at Baker. Baker suddenly realized, and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.
