Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 14 The Missing Orphan

After Karin entered the bar, he found that there were quite a lot of customers inside.

There are well-dressed midtown residents, all of whom are small employees or clerical workers. Compared with most civilians, this kind of work is considered very decent.

In the bar, there were more residents from the lower city. Karin even saw a few drunks lying on the ground in disorder, but everyone else ignored them.

After the two of them entered, most of the people just glanced at them and stopped paying attention, which obviously showed that they were not the first to come to the bar with this kind of attire. Everyone was used to a group of people wrapping themselves tightly every Saturday. Here comes the serious weirdo.

Elena didn't stop after stepping through the gate, but went straight to an iron gate next to the bar.

Karin followed behind her and observed everything in the bar.

There was a mustache bartender behind the bar, who looked like he was in his twenties, and there was a row of reward orders on the wall next to the bar.

The portraits of these reward orders include fraudsters, robbers, and murderers, and the seal of the Wayne Sheriff's Department is also attached.

In addition, some other reward orders are followed by "Please contact XXX".

Wayne City is an important port city in the Kingdom of Brent, with a population of more than 200 million in the urban area alone, but the police force is seriously insufficient.

Most of the police officers in the city are located in Midtown and Uptown.

In the lower city, where the population accounts for more than 90.00%, there are relatively few police officers, which leads to various crimes and even affects the middle city.

In this way, they had to look for folk forces, and finally maintained the dignity of the Midtown and Uptown, and supported many detectives and bounty hunters just by offering rewards.

At this time, a conversation in the bar also reached Karin's ears.

"Hey, have you heard that another person disappeared in Midtown yesterday, and I heard that he is the son of the owner of a watch shop!"

"How did I hear it was a grocery store?"

"It's obviously a watch shop!
Forget it, let’s not talk about this with you, do you know that my brother-in-law works in the police station, and today he told me that this is the fourth missing case in the Midtown area in two months, and the three missing people are all [-] or [-] Age does not distinguish between men and women.
You must not have guessed that they have a very special thing in common - they were both orphans at the Manlin Road Orphanage, and they were both adopted ten years ago! "

In an instant, Carlin's heart skipped a beat, and Elena stopped and turned to look at Carlin and said in a low voice, "I remember that you also lived in Manlin Road Orphanage when you were young, and you were also adopted by Mr. Westminster ten years ago.

Ten years ago, the Manlin Road Orphanage was destroyed by a huge fire. In the end, only eight orphans survived including you. All eight of you were adopted, and you were eight wealthy families, right? "

Carlin also frowned after hearing this. The incident in the orphanage was very big back then. Not only was the fire, but also some scandals about the interest groups behind the orphanage were exposed. rectification activities.

As for how many real effects there were, Karin didn't pay attention, but what the two drinkers said just now made him worry.

'Maybe someone is targeting the orphans of those years now? ! '

While thinking this way, Karin whispered to Elena: "You are right, but you know, I have been taking care of my father for the past six months, so I don't know much about this kind of thing. Do you have any news?"

"I'm not too sure," Elena shook her head, "but don't worry, there won't be many people in Wayne City who will take the initiative to deal with you, but you still have to pay attention to yourself."

"Thank you."

After hearing Karin's thank you, Elena didn't say anything, but continued to walk towards the iron gate next to the bar.

When passing by the bar, she took out a red badge to show it and put the two gold pound notes on the bar and handed it to the mustache bartender, saying, "This time I brought a newcomer."

The bartender nodded, put away the money and took out a red badge and handed it to Karin.

"Please inject your own spirituality."

'This seems to be a way of authentication.' Karin didn't stop his hands when he thought this way, and took the badge to inject a little spirituality.

Immediately, the badge emitted a faint light. Although the light was very inconspicuous, it did exist.

The mustache bartender nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

At this time, Elena said to Karin: "Let's go. When you come to the market alone in the future, just show him your badge. The entrance fee is one gold pound per person."

After speaking, he opened the iron door, and a corridor appeared in front of him.

Karin followed behind him without saying a word, and after turning around in the building behind the bar, he came to an iron gate again.

When Elena opened the door again, a 30-meter-long dead-end alley appeared in front of Karin.

"This is the market?"

"That's right, it's here."

It was a little different from what he had expected before. Karin thought that the extraordinary was trading somewhere in the bar building, but he didn't expect that the market was just an alley.

The alley in front of him was different from the filthy alley in the lower city in Carlin's impression, and it was cleaned very clean.

A kerosene lamp was hung every two or three meters on the walls on both sides. The flames swaying in the wind dispelled the darkness and illuminated the entire alley.

You can see one by one street stalls placed on both sides of the alley. Scattered figures walk through the alley, stopping in front of a stall from time to time to communicate with the stall owner.

At a glance, Karin found that there were less than 30 people in the market, and immediately had an intuitive impression of the scarcity of extraordinary people.

An alley with a length of more than 30 meters and a width of five meters can already meet the needs of the market.

"Are you surprised?"

Elena seemed to have seen Karin's mood, and said softly to him: "Actually, this situation is quite normal, the number of extraordinary people in Wayne City is not very many.

If it is Kland, the capital of steam, as the capital of the kingdom, there are many extraordinary inheritances there. It is conservatively estimated that the number of extraordinary people exceeds [-], and various secret markets and association gatherings emerge in endlessly.

However, Wayne City, as an important port city, although its resources are not comparable to the capital of steam, it is still quite abundant.

Let's go, let me show you around and familiarize yourself with this place. "

Karin didn't say anything, but continued to follow Elena, shuttling in front of each booth, while Elena explained some products on the booth to him.

There are no specific products on these stalls, but some labels.

Plants, medicinal materials, animal organs, finished medicines, some unknown ores, and some commodities that look like alchemy equipment from their names.

Karin was dazzled by the names of various products, and new transcendents came to the market from the bar from time to time.
