Chapter 104 The Disappearing Family

"The specific location is on Dern Street, near the northeast side of Westwood Port." Rooney looked at the upper left, as if recalling the details. "The person who entrusted me is a friend of my aunt. She heard that I..."

"Wait." Sauer raised his hand slightly, interrupting Rooney's narration, "Can we get straight to the point first? As for the contact person, we can understand later."

Rooney smiled embarrassingly, and he coughed twice, just at this time, the waiter brought up a plate of fragrant pies to resolve the embarrassment.

"That's the way it is."

"Dern Street, house 112, lived in the Mance family, Mr. Mance, his wife and son, but a few days ago, around June 6, the family's neighbor, Mrs. Mariela, found the Mance family missing, so she reported the situation to the security guards. The security officers entered Mance's home to investigate and found that the house was not cleaned up. It didn't look like they were traveling, but there were no signs of fighting, as if they had disappeared out of thin air."

"On June 6, the security guards entered Mance's home again to investigate, trying to find clues, but he also disappeared. In the follow-up, this incident was reported as a disaster."

"The basic situation is like this. You may need to ask Mrs. Mariela for specific details."

After finishing speaking, Rooney picked up the knife and fork. Suddenly, he thought of something and mentioned, "The reward is 3 goldstats. The Mance family is very popular and has some savings in the bank."

Saul thought about the commissions on the disaster notice board, frowned slightly, then stretched his eyebrows, and asked, "There shouldn't be many such commissions? I guess disaster hunters like it very much, won't they ask you for it?"

Rooney nodded, cut a piece of pie and put it on his dinner plate. He took a bite and said as he ate, "Of course I will ask. You probably won't see this kind of entrustment on the disaster notice board. You should have guessed the reason. For me, who will solve it is not the key point, the key is to resolve the entrustment as soon as possible."

Saul nodded in understanding.

Every industry has its own unspoken rules, and the same applies to disaster hunters.

If there is a lack of good commissions, it stands to reason that disaster hunters should wait at the disaster notice board for a long time, and as soon as there is a disaster event that meets the requirements, they will pick it up in advance, but in reality, there are basically not many people on the disaster notice board.

The answer is obvious.

The delicious fat has already been eaten before it is released.

As for why they do this, it is easy to understand. The so-called human feelings and relationships are born from interests.

This is also the reason why the two employees laughed when he said "contribute to Westwood Port" when he was in the Medal of Honor Center, not only because of the quencher, but also because this sentence did not correspond to reality.

Interest is the center of everything.

Rooney's ability to sit in the current position naturally has his own strengths. For example, now, he has come up with a suitable entrustment and put it in front of Sauer to help him solve the urgent problem of insufficient funds.

In this way, when there is trouble later, Rooney will come to ask Sauer for help. Unless the situation is too special, Saul will probably not refuse.

Even though the world is completely different, many principles are still common. If you want to gain a foothold in Westwood Port, a network of people is essential.

"Let's go after eating." Saul picked up the knife and fork, and there was no need for him to refuse this favor.

Dinner came to an end as delicious pies were swallowed.

Amidst the noise of the tavern, the two walked out of the shop.

At the door, Rooney called a carriage, and the two took the carriage to Dern Street.

The carriage stopped at the crossroads, and the two got out of the car and walked towards Dern Street.

Dern Street is a residential area. It is not long after nightfall, and the houses on both sides are lit up with sparse lights, and many people still have not returned.

The two walked to a black door with number 111 written on it. The room was brightly lit, even much brighter than the surrounding area.

Rooney walked to the door, knocked lightly, and shouted, "Mrs. Mariela, are you home?"

Hasty footsteps came from inside the door.

While waiting, Sauer glanced at the light brown house on the side. The house next to him was obviously the place where the disaster happened. The door was only a few meters away from where he was standing. The neighbor on the left was still living in his own house. Although he was troubled by the disaster, he had no intention of leaving home to take refuge.

In many cases, the only choice is the lesser of two evils.

pat.

The door is opened.

A plump woman appeared, with blond hair, wearing a common lady's blouse and a linen coat, aged about forty, it was Mrs. Mariela.

"Who are you?" Mariela looked at the two suspiciously, perhaps because of Rooney's clothes, there was no vigilance in her eyes.

"I'm the director of the Medal of Honor Center, and my name is Rooney. My aunt should have mentioned me to you." Rooney made a simple self-introduction.

Hearing what Rooney said, Mariela first thought back, then her eyes widened, and a joyful expression appeared on her face. Then, she took a step back to let the door open, and said politely:
"Please come in please come in."

"I was just thinking, when will you come?"

"In the past few days, I have had trouble falling asleep. Every day, I wonder if I will disappear quietly like Mr. Mance's family."

"Thank goodness you're finally here."

Rooney took the lead and walked in, Sauer followed behind Rooney.

The two sat down in the living room, and Mariela hurried to the kitchen, served tea and pastries, and then sat down opposite the two.

"This is Saul, a very experienced disaster hunter. With him, I believe that this disaster will be resolved satisfactorily. Maybe the Mance family will be safe." Rooney began to introduce Shao.

Experience?

Saul glanced at Rooney and was about to say something, but after seeing Mariela's eyes turning from indifference to attention, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Think of it as a white lie.

"Ah, thank you very much, Mr. Saul." Mariela pushed the pastry a little towards Saul.

Saul nodded and winked at Rooney, which was self-evident.

"Mrs. Mariela, please tell me about the situation of the Mance family in detail. The more information we have, the better we can solve the disaster as soon as possible when we go to investigate." Rooney went straight to the point and asked about the situation next door to Mariela.

After hearing this, Mariela clenched the teacup tightly with her right hand. Then, with a look of horror on her face, she raised the teacup, took a sip, and then said:
"I just said I had trouble sleeping at night."

She put down the teacup.

"Actually, it's because at night, I can occasionally hear the Mance family's screams and cries for help. It seems to come from hell. I can't describe their voices. They are full of despair, as if they are suffering every moment."

Saul heard this and asked, "Is it only the Mance family? Where's the security officer?"
