Paimon hid behind Chen Fan in fright: "Ugh! It's scary! There may be something wrong in the work area, please record this clue."
Chen Fan touched Paimeng's little head, and said to everyone: "The clues are almost there, let's go back and report the situation."
Everyone came to Old Dai.
Seeing everyone coming back, Lao Dai hurriedly asked: "You guys are back, how is the investigation going?"
Zhong Li stepped forward and said, "We are nearby ~ we found three clues."
"First, four mining picks were missing, but none of the daily necessities were taken away, indicating that the workers probably did not leave spontaneously, but were taken away."
Old Dai looked puzzled: "Taken away?! But... who would-- hijack workers?"
Zhongli continued to explain: "Secondly, there were originally five workers in the mining area. One of them left the work area and took a nap in order to be lazy. When he woke up, his companion had disappeared without a trace."
Zhong Li: "People who stayed in the work area disappeared one after another, but those who hid in the rest area were safe. It can be seen that the incident happened in the work area."
Lao Dai frowned: "So, Ah Hu did mention that he was lazy..."
Then went on to say: "Did someone walk into the work area and take them away?!"
Zhong Li touched his chin: "This is exactly the third point I want to say. Brother Kun used his special means to deduce that those people were taken away from the mining area by a child."
After hearing this, Lao Dai looked at Zhongli in disbelief: "Children?! There are very few residents around here, it is impossible for children to come to the mining area!"
Paimon added on the side: "But as a result, four workers left with a child."
Old Dai hurriedly asked, "Where did they go?"
Zhongli thought for a while and said, "According to our speculation, they walked north along the road, and they should have left the mining area and headed towards the ruins."
Lao Dai clapped his hands together: "North! Okay, I'll take someone to look for it right away."
Ying hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Do you need help?"
Lao Dai shook his head: "I've left the investigation to you. Let our brothers come over for the errands. Let's take a step first, and maybe we can catch up with them if we hurry up."
At this time, Zhong Li stopped Lao Dai: "Wait a minute. The incident happened six days ago. Even if they were only walking, they would have walked a long way."
After hearing this, Lao Dai thought for a while: "Well... that's true. How about it, I will take my brothers to some distant residents to inquire about it later."
Then he continued: "Leaving the mining area, there are only a few families who want to stay. Leave the investigation to us."
"Several, I would like to trouble you to continue to search for clues. Let's divide into two groups. If we don't meet on the way, we will meet at Wangshu Inn tomorrow night."
Zhongli nodded: "Alright."
Lao Dai bid farewell to everyone: "Then I will go ahead with my brothers!"
Seeing Lao Dai leave, Paimon scratched the back of his head: "The current situation is that we continue to investigate, and they go to nearby residents to inquire about news, right?"
Zhong Li said lightly: "That's right.
Paimon thought for a while: "But, there are no more clues in the mining area... Should we chase north?"
Zhongli didn't answer Paimon's question, but still looked left and right: "Wait, there's one person missing."
Paimon tilted his head: "Huh?"
Then something came to mind: "Yes, Xiao Kun is probably still investigating. Go call him!"
So everyone and a group came outside the mining area, and soon found that Xiao Kun was squatting in front of a stone in a daze.
Paimon hurriedly flew forward: "Xiao Kun, what are you still looking for here? You've found almost all the clues, it's time to go!"
Kun Jun regained his composure: "Ah, I'm sorry, this is a private matter, and I'm still looking for a kind of jade called "Dragon Stone". "
Zhong Li frowned slightly: ""Dragon Town Stone"? "
Ying shook her head: "I've never heard of it."
Chen Fan folded his hands, he had never heard of this thing before.
Zhong Li said to Kun Jun: "Dragon Stones are generally used in forging industry, what's the use of you looking for this?"
Kun Jun thought for a while, then reluctantly shook his head: "I...I don't know."
His expression was a bit painful: "Sorry, I can't tell the reason... I have been in a daze for the past few days, and I can't think of anything except my name and home address."
· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·??????????
"To be honest, I've always felt very anxious. It seems that I have forgotten something before I did it. I can't remember it, so uncomfortable..."
Paimon said hastily, "Ah, I know this feeling! I know I forgot something, but I can't remember what it is."
Kun Jun sighed for a long time: "Oh, I don't know where to go, so I had to wander around. The other day, I walked through the market and walked around. When I was shopping, I heard someone chatting and vaguely mentioned "Dragon Stone" . "
"These three words are very familiar, as if what I'm going to do has something to do with that kind of stone... So, I wanted to find one to have a look."
Kun Jun thought for a while at this time, and said: "Perhaps holding the stone in your hand, you can remember what you want to do along the way."
........................................
Zhongli nodded lightly: "I see... If there is an opportunity during this trip, I will also help find this kind of stone."
Kun Jun said excitedly: "Really? Thank you Mr. Zhongli, you are so kind!"
Zhongli smiled faintly: "It's nothing to do with a little effort."
Paimon couldn't wait to speak: "Are you going to leave?"
Zhongli looked into the distance: "Going north from the rocky abyss, you will arrive at Lingju Pass. If they choose this route, there will be traces along the way."
Chen Fan clasped his hands behind his head and took the first step: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"
Judging from the clues found in the mining area, the workers seem to have gone north along the road.
Everyone tracked all the way, constantly reducing the distance with them...
All the way to Lingju Pass, Paimeng, who was walking in front with Chen Fan, suddenly pointed to the ground not far away: "Ah, footprints!"
Zhong Li looked forward: "It seems that they have passed through the Lingju Gate and continue to walk forward."
Paimon said excitedly: "You can find where they are by following the footprints, right?"
"Let's go." Chen Fan continued to move forward, following the footprints for a long time, but found that these footprints became shallower and shallower, probably worn away after a period of time.
Paimon looked at the last footprints he could see: "Oh, the footprints disappeared here..."
Zhongli looked around and found that there were some people who went into the mountains to collect medicine or mine: "Ask the people nearby. If the miners pass by here, they should be able to see it." And.

Chapter 450 Four: New Clues!
Paimon saw a passer-by at this time, so he asked him, "Excuse me, have you seen people dressed as miners around here?"
The young man felt very puzzled: "Miner? I haven't seen it."
Paimon looked disappointed: "Well...ask someone else."
Then came to a man standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the sky: "Hi, have you seen miners? There are four of them in total!"
As a result, the man was very unhappy and said: "Go, go, don't disturb me admiring the floating clouds!"
Paimon pursed his lips: "You look so impatient, this man..."
Chen Fan shook his head: "Forget it, let's ask other people."
At this time, Paimon saw a young woman not far away, so he flew over: "Excuse me, have you seen a miner pretending to be "[-]" around here?"
The woman was asked this question, thought for a while and said: "About four or five days ago, a few people walked by here, carrying baskets, carrying pickaxes, etc...It is similar to what you said."
Paimon hurriedly said, "That's right, it's them!"
Zhongli thought for a while and said, "Four or five days ago? It seems that they didn't go as fast as we imagined. I'm afraid it took a lot of time because of the terrain of Lingju Pass."
The woman hurriedly said: "Oh, those people are strange. The four big men all looked dull, as if they were not awake! There is a child in front of them, dangling..."
Zhong Li continued to ask: "Have you seen the child's appearance clearly?"
"Just glanced at her. She has blue hair and is very short. It seems... like a girl! Also, her expression is very serious, and she doesn't smile at all."
Zhong Li pointed to the road on one side: "Is this the road they took?"
The woman nodded affirmatively: "Yes, go straight ahead from here."
Paimon hurriedly flew into the distance: "Let's chase after it!"
Everyone walked for a while, and Paimon suddenly found that footprints appeared again: "There are footprints on the ground...ah, there are people over there!?"
? ? : "Help, please help me!"
I saw a group of flame slimes and rock lizards surrounding a young woman.
Paimon was taken aback: "Will that be the person we are looking for? Let's confirm after saving him!
Profit can step forward to solve all these monsters.
The woman stood up in shock and thanked everyone: "These monsters are too violent, and they will be spotted by them even if they pass by, and they will jump on people without saying a word...Thank you for saving me, thank you .”
Then she continued: "My name is Wanyu, I belong to the Liyue Shenglu Hall, and I'm in charge of the research of cultural relics."
Paimon looked disappointed: "Oh? It's not a miner..."
Wanyu was full of doubts: "Miner?"
Paimon hurriedly explained to her: "Well, we are looking for miners. There are four in total! They are all tall men with mining tools."
Wanyu thought for a while and said, "I seem to have seen the person you mentioned."
Paimon didn't expect to find clues here: "Really?"
Chen Fan folded his hands and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's considered to be found."
Wanyu hurriedly said to everyone: "Yes, I set off from Nantianmen the day before yesterday, heading towards Lingju Pass. I met a group of people on the way, a child and several adults."
Ying stepped forward and asked, "Can you explain in more detail?"
Wanyu frowned: "I was in a hurry, so I didn't get to take a closer look. I can't remember the features... sorry."
Zhongli smiled at this time: "These are enough, thank you."
Wanyu nodded: "It's good if I can help. Then I will take a step ahead, and there are academic conferences to attend. Thank you again."
Paimeng watched Wanyu walk away, and then said to everyone: "According to that scholar, these people should be heading towards the South Heaven Gate."
Kun Jun couldn't help thinking deeply at this time: "However, can you be sure it's the same group of people?"
Paimon put his hands on his hips: "The combination of a child and an adult is not so common!"
Chen Fan slapped his forehead: "It's quite common."
Paimon was speechless for a moment: "Uh... that, that..."
Kun Jun hurriedly said to everyone at this time: "Hey, look at that rock over there!"
Paimon remembered this person's ability to check the memory of the stone, so he happily jumped in mid-air: "Oh, there is another trick!"
Kun Jun hurried forward and came to the stone: "It should work, I'll try it."
Afterwards, Kun Jun lightly touched the stone: "Well..."
A picture gradually emerged in Kun Jun's mind.
He immediately stood up and said to everyone: "Yes, it is the same group of people. They walked along this road."
Zhong Li said with great interest, "Brother Kun reads the memory of the stone, no matter how many times he watches it, he finds it interesting."
Kun Jun shook his head and said, "This so-called ability is really useless at ordinary times. It is also meaningful to entertain Mr. Zhongli."
Paimon waved his little hand in the air: "Xiao Kun is simply our compass! With you here, we can determine the direction."
Kun Jun couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, right? Then I won't be here in vain."
Then he touched his chin: "Well, this feels... like handling a case, so interesting."
Zhongli reminded from the side: "Besides being interesting, don't forget to be vigilant. Four adults with dull faces followed a child on the road day and night, crossing mountains and ridges...it's not easy."
Kun Jun nodded seriously: "Oh! That's right, Mr. Zhongli is really cautious."
What did Zhong Li think of at this time: "Also, the scholar just now was attacked by a young rock dragon lizard, but this kind of monster shouldn't be so aggressive."
There are many clues along the way, and there seems to be a connection in the dark..."
After hearing Zhongli's words, Chen Fan also thought about it.
And there is a feeling 3.5 that the truth will soon be revealed before his eyes, but Chen Fan also has a premonition that the truth of this incident will not be that simple.
