The Divine Hunter

  Chapter 37 Inquiry

  Roy is ready to settle down and investigate the whole matter, so the morning work will have to be postponed.

   Before returning to the mill, he told the old Ruhr at the poultry stall and Tross at the herbal shop a leave.

"Ask for leave tomorrow morning? Of course it's okay. I have done a beautiful job for half a month. I have a rest day and pay for it." Tross readily agreed, "But I'm a little curious, what can you do? Is it possible? Edsberg has a little girlfriend? Want to go on a date with her?"

  "Little brother, as someone who comes by, I remind you that spending money on a woman is a bottomless pit! A woman’s vanity will never be satisfied."

  "Uncle Tross, don't make fun of me." Roy did not hide, "My girlfriend or something is very far away from me. Tomorrow morning I am going to find someone in Xiacheng. As for who it is, just leave it alone."

   "Oh, then you must pay attention to safety." Tross wrinkled face became serious, and solemnly told him.

  ……

  Have a rest at the mill for one night, and the next day, in the gloomy weather, Roy rushed to the lower city of Edelsberg early in the morning. According to his idea, to verify Vivien, we should first find the old drunkard who went to school to ask for money yesterday, that is Vivien’s father.

  No matter how drunk the drunkard is, it is impossible to forget whether he has a young son.

  In the past half month, Roy has already figured out the address of Vivien’s family. It is a dilapidated wooden house in the east of Xiacheng, which is easy to find. And the reason why he chose to act early in the morning was because he was worried that he would encounter the sparrow gang again.

  But sometimes, people just do what they are afraid of.

  Roy had just stepped onto the street in this area, and the feeling of thorns on his back instantly surged.

  Glancing back from the angle of view, he could see a brawny bald man wearing a thick yellow cotton coat, black pants, long boots, and a tattoo on his neck, following him.

The face looked like Resso, but this guy's facial features and expressions are completely incomprehensible with Resso. Resso is indifferent, and his face is full of anger, as if his chest is full of anger, ready to explode at any time .

  His height is over 6 to 4 inches (1.9 meters), his neck is thick and short, and his cotton-padded jacket is swollen, making him strong like a standing grizzly bear.

  Before six o'clock, the cold wind blew like a steel knife. At this time, there were very few pedestrians on the streets of Xiacheng.

  Roy pretended to be unaware. He didn't try to yell or ask for help to attract the attention of others. Instead, he quickened his pace and left the spacious and flat street to drill into the surrounding remote, dark, sewage alleys.

  The bald-headed brawny quickened his speed and followed.

  Gradually, both of them started trotting, chasing for five minutes in the alley extending in all directions, getting more and more remote. Until entering a dead end, a mottled high wall covered with moss and dirty water ruthlessly blocked Roy's path.

  The stalker behind him took out a medicine handkerchief from his arms, and rushed towards his back with a grinning smile.

"This big brother... I haven't offended you?" Roy turned around, smiling cowardly and reluctantly, and the brawny man who was 30 years away showed empty hands, "I have no threat to you at all. Can you spare my life? No problem with how much money!"

The brawny man who had rushed to him less than twenty late heard the words and walked slowly, a greedy light appeared in the narrow eyes, and said in a hoarse voice like a file, "When you are subdued, everything on you will be natural. It belongs to me. But you can try to call for help and see if there is any kind person to save you."

  Compared with the strong man, Roy's size is like the difference between a child and an adult, and he can't see any weapons under his body. In the eyes of the strong man, he is not at all threatening. It's no different from the fat on the chopping board, so why don't you say a few words to send him a ride?

"Ding...ding..." A sweet and clear voice sounded, Roy threw a handful of yellow crowns onto the dirty ground at the feet of the bald man without warning. The latter seemed to have never suffered such a special attack. , The whole person was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily squatted down to pick up the crown on the ground.

  "Are you from the sparrows?" Roy took the opportunity to throw a few more questions, "Now the hooligans are so dedicated? It's less than seven o'clock, so I squatted at the gate of Xiacheng District, aren't you cold?"

   "Boy, you blame yourself for being stupid! You believe in the wrong person." The bald-headed man hurriedly stuffed two crowns into his arms, suddenly woke up, stood up and rushed towards him.

   "Wait to the mine, then you--"

   "Swish——"

  The sound and movements of the brawny man stopped abruptly, and his last feeling was a strong and short sharp pain in his right eye, and then there was no sound.

The huge body that was originally aggressively leaning forward was propelled by inertia, but still staggered two steps forward, before falling heavily, kneeling on the ground, and then hitting the ground with his face, as if he was aiming at a young boy who was close at hand. Kneeling and knocking his head.

   Then there was a cloud of blood pouring out of the two blood holes that penetrated the skull, polluting the surrounding ground.

  "Kill Fossa

  20 experience gained. "

  A wonderful message flashed in the template, Roy breathed a breath, the crossbow disappeared, and walked over to shoot the corpse, and the corpse disappeared. When he looked at human corpses now, he felt no different from those dead animals.

  He continued a few steps forward, picking up the remaining crowns on the ground, and the arrows stained with flesh and bones, these two things were also included in the space.

  The entire space is basically filled.

Roy was very satisfied. In the past, the crossbow arrow penetrated the human eye socket and would definitely get stuck in his mind, but this time it was less than ten years away. The active crossbow specialization plus the additional damage of the slaughter skill, the arrow is directly Breaking open the brawny man's skull, it seemed that the skill bonus was more powerful than he thought.

  As for why he has to talk so much with the other party, it is mainly because he wants to clarify a problem.

  I was followed by the Sparrow Gang for the first time, which may be a coincidence. But the second time, during this time period, Roy understood that it was definitely not a coincidence, someone sold him...

  However, there are only a few who knew he would come to Xiacheng this morning, and then contacted the motive of the last trip to Xiacheng, and the suspect was ready to come out.

  The other party seems to have contacted the sparrow gang, ready to sell him to the private mine on Mahakam?

  Roy sighed, and suddenly became disappointed. It felt uncomfortable to be betrayed. After more than half a month of getting along, he had already trusted that guy more and thought it was a friend.

   "Is it too simple?"

  A few seconds later, Roy left the alley.

  Only the filthy blood, telling a killing that no one knew.

  ……

   Passing through a narrow alley with cross-flow of sewage, and a fence surrounded by a row of branches, a low house is quietly located in the depths of the Xiacheng District.

  Vivien’s home is more primitive than Roy had imagined. The outer walls were cracked, covered with stains and cracks, and the roof was a little leaky, and it was covered with black rags.

  At this moment, a bloated, full-faced man is sitting on the stump in the yard in a daze, his cheeks are stained with sickly red, and his turbid eyes are filled with a little drunken mystery.

"Hey, boy, who are you looking for? Why did you get to this place where birds do not poop?" Bob glanced at a boy outside the fence and asked impatiently. He always felt like he had seen this guy from somewhere, but alcohol It eroded his brain all the year round, and his memory became very poor.

   "You are Teacher Vivien's father, right?" Roy stepped into the fence, showing a shy smile. "I'm a student at Cardell House. My name is Roy. I have something to ask you about the situation."

"This is really a **** of a ghost. What do you want me to know about you as a hairy boy?" Bob was sober from the state of confusion, his eyes were surprised, "If you consult which tavern in my city has the best reputation, the least water is added to the wine. , I can tell you the answer, don’t bother me with other things, I don’t know if you ask!"

  Bob said in a tone, “It’s early morning, shouldn’t you go to class at Cardell’s House? Huh?”

  He suddenly moved his nose, licked his lips and swallowed, revealing a gluttonous look. Standing on the opposite side, Roy did not know when a green wine bottle appeared in his hands, and he deliberately dangled it in front of his eyes.

  Drinker Bob has been drinking wine for decades, and he can tell at a glance that this bottle of wine is his favorite dwarf spirit. Because he had no money, he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol for two days, and he instantly lost his resistance when he smelled this familiar and pungent smell.

"Just ask, brother! I will answer any questions you have, as long as...just give me this bottle of wine!" Bob looks like an addiction sufferer, staring straight at the bottle, his expression exaggeratedly drunk. .

  Roy nodded in satisfaction, and if he wanted to get answers from the alcoholic, he naturally had to go to his liking.

  "Uncle Bob, go get a cup...Every time I answer a question later, I will let you have a drink..."

   "Okay, okay, wait for me, don't leave!"

  ……

"How many people are there in your family?" Roy shook a glass of clear and transparent wine in front of Bob, and the other party suddenly fidgeted around on the stake, his hands were like a pair of chicken feet and squirmed at the bottle for a while. Xu Zha, looking impatient,

   "Three people." He replied, "Old Bob, my crazy old lady, and my daughter who doesn't know how to honor the elders."

   "Think more about it!" Roy put the glass in front of him, and the moment he reached out, he quickly moved it away.

"Give it to me, I said three people! You stupid...no," Old Bob said with his hands folded, his loose facial muscles trembling, and he whispered at Roy, "I assure you. Roy, I swear there are only three people in the family. If I lie, I will never drink another sip of wine in my life!"

"give!"

  Bob finished sipping his glass, and he let out a long sigh of relief, looking like he was about to soar in joy.

  Roy looked at the ugly attitude of the other party, and secretly reminded himself to take warning.

  He picked up his mood and continued to inquire,

  "Five years ago...ten years ago, has anyone else lived in your home for a long time?"

   "No..." There was a trace of anger on Bob's face, "I'm afraid of being entangled."

  ……

   "Does Teacher Vivien have any brothers or sisters?"

   "That stinky girl Vivien is an only child," Bob said firmly, "She has no brothers or sisters. Even if old Bob is confused after drinking, she is not mentally retarded. It is impossible to forget how many children he has."

  "Then, do you and your wife have any children who died? Did Vivien have any brothers and sisters who died accidentally?"

  "Little brother, Roy, why are you asking such a strange question?" Bob endured the temptation of the wine and asked, "What is the purpose of investigating my home so clearly?"

   "You can answer," Roy shook the wine in front of him. "Don't worry about anything else."

"Okay, then let me tell you, that old lady in my family gave birth to Vivien and one child..." Bob suddenly sighed, "Actually, I want to have more children too, but it's a pity that I drank too much and I had a physical problem. ...Can you understand, do you want me to tell you more about it?"

  Fifteen minutes later, Bob, who drank a full bottle of dwarf spirits, leaned on the stump and fell asleep.

  Even if he was half drunk and half awake before, he strongly denied that he had a son. Roy felt that in this state, he probably couldn't tell a lie.

  ……

   Leaving the drunkard in the yard, Roy entered the dilapidated hut.

  A woman with disheveled hair, withered yellow complexion, and thin body like a bamboo pole, sat on the round table in the doorway, muttering to herself in the air with a strange expression.

  Roy stood at the door and watched quietly for a while, then walked over and sat down on the chair opposite her.

   "This lady, I..."

  The woman didn't respond, even if her eyes passed Roy, she didn't seem to see him or hear him.

   seems to be immersed in the spiritual world of the self.

  Her face covered with fine lines and sagging skin, sometimes grinning silly with a happy expression, sometimes widening her eyes, stretching her face extremely angry, sometimes drooping her brows and revealing sadness.

  Roy was dazzled for a while.

"Little Lori...the jewel in my palm. I haven't seen you for a week. Why did I lose weight again? Is the school work too hard? I cooked your favorite dishes for you, and eat more soon." Woman straight He stared at the left side and looked at it for a while, grinning with a mouthful of broken teeth, and with a gentle expression that he urged towards the air, and then scooped out a few tablespoons of still steaming vegetable soup from the iron pot in the center of the round table, and poured it. Into the plate on the left. "Ladies have to chew slowly, otherwise how to marry out in the future?"

  Little Lori? Roy thought it was Vivien's nickname.

The woman suddenly akimbo her hands and staring at the air on her right, her eyes rounded, "Old Bob, what did you do? You have a swollen nose and stupid face? Yesterday I drank and went out to fight with people? It smelled like shit, today. Don't even want to climb on my old mother's bed. Next time, you will get out of this house for me!"

   "Huh!" She took another spoonful of soup to the plate on the right and started to eat it herself, and there was an empty plate with a soup spoon opposite her.

  Roy watched a few scenes silently, waited for the woman to finish the soup, and tried to call her several times, but no response was received.

Really unable to communicate, Roy had to leave the house, and then went to the neighboring houses to find two or three old men who were smoking tobacco leisurely in the yard, and asked about the situation at Vivien’s home. The answer was no. Unexpectedly, they all believe that there are only three people in Vivien's family.

  Roy thought it's impossible for everyone to lie, right?

  　Thank you for the rewards of the classmates of "Work Hard and Responsibility"! Thank you for your support!
