Chapter 11 A Unique Way to Find Clues
"I'm sorry, everyone." The mayor left to convey the good news to Dake and his group. After the mayor left, Catherine smiled embarrassedly and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter and want to go and see it, but I promise that we must keep the time within the agreed time. Once the time is exceeded, we will give up and continue to search, and give up our own affairs first."
"Okay, sister, don't explain." Lina regained her nature the moment the mayor left, and said without caring at all: "It would be abnormal if you don't care about these little things. Everyone is used to it. When I listened to the story just now, everyone was prepared in their hearts. In the end, this will definitely be the result, so you don't have to apologize. Get the business done as soon as possible, pack up the things you use on the road, change into thick clothes for going out, and don't wait for someone to pick them up. We haven't packed it yet."
"No, you stay." Catherine shook her head and said, "This time, Pannis and I can go there. One is that there is no use if there are too many people, and it is not going to fight. The other is that we go on a sled. It is said that there are only three sleds, so we will definitely not be able to sit down when we go there. Third, you are all spell casting professions. In order to avoid performing abnormally due to fatigue in the future, we should take a rest for a while, so we can go this time."
"Hmm?" Lina looked at Catherine with a very strange look, and said with a curl of her lips: "Okay, okay, then you can go by yourself. The four of us stayed to see the house, so that you can save us from being in trouble, hehe."
"I'll go too." Ava suddenly jumped off the chair and said expressionlessly: "These human emotional disputes are very special. Data analysis cannot be understood. I need to observe in detail and record carefully, so I have to go too."
"If you leave too, your close combat power is here..." Catherine hesitated for a moment, and immediately patted her head with a wry smile: "Everyone is already a legendary profession. I am not used to it in my concept. Okay, if you want to come, see if the empty space is enough. If it is enough, let's come together. However, I guess you may not be able to see the emotional disputes you want to see, but you can see some other disputes. I hope you don't see any bad results."
"Let's go. Since I really want to help, I'll do some preparations first." Panis got up and took off the coat from the hanger and put it on his body: "Go to the Ner's house first, and at least get some basic information."
"Can you find any clues when you go to his house?" Catherine and Eva also got up. Catherine asked while putting clothes on Ava, "Even if there are any clues in his house, they should have been almost destroyed by the townspeople."
"At least you can find items he often uses," said Penis. "It's good to be able to smell what it smells."
Several girls looked at Panis at the same time, and Freya said in horror: "Are you a dog? You actually rely on smelling the clues?"
"It's good to get used to it. When we were taking risks together, we thought his nose was more agile than a dog." Catherine said: "I just didn't expect that this time I said it without any concealment. Is it possible that after you smell it, we can lead you to the way? But have you forgotten that there should be many dogs following you this time, so you can't smell it."
"Hey. I'm using this verb wrongly." Pannis protested dissatisfiedly: "And although there are many sled dogs, those are ordinary dogs that have not been specially trained. Their scent is not so accurate, and there may be omissions. So I said that I smell it myself, and it's better to have more insurance. And you probably don't know. The top hunters in the Elf Forest each have a more sensitive sense of smell than dogs. No matter how complex the environment is, as long as the traces left within a day can't be hidden from their noses. Those people are really relying on smelling clues. Let's go, you're optimistic about your home. If the liaison officer of the Bailong clan comes to us, let them wait a moment, but it shouldn't be used. I guess we should be able to come back in one day at most."
The three of them walked out of the yard and found that a large part of the snow on the street had been cleared. The snow left behind just exceeded their feet and did not affect people's normal walking. Walking on the street, the air behind the snow was uniquely fresh in the cold. Take a deep breath, and the refreshing air penetrated into the lungs through the nose, and the chill rushed straight to the top of their heads, making the whole person wake up. Taking a step on the road, there was a rhythmic creaking sound under their feet. This feeling of stepping on the snow made Eva feel particularly novel. Although she still looked calm, if you look closely, you can clearly find that although her speed did not change, the distance she took for each step was shortened by at least twice, and the speed of her step also doubled, and the creaking sound became more frequent.
"Is it fun?" Penis asked hilariously, "I have never really felt this."
"The structure of snow is very strange." Without surprise, Eva ignored Panis again. It was strange that only in the adventure group, Eva would use this ignorance to change the topic: "The elemental state is between water and ice, like an incompletely transformed ice element, but the internal structure is much fluffy. I am curious how this form appears naturally."
"You guy." Panis couldn't laugh and cry, and used his hands to rub Eva's soft blonde hair with his hands. Eva quickly avoided Panis's rampant hands, hid aside and slapped the hair above his head expressionlessly, allowing the beautiful blonde hair to return to order again.
There were many people on the street, and most of them knew these three people who had been with the silver-haired pastor. Therefore, after asking someone on the street, they successfully found Neo's home. After waiting at the door for a few minutes, the mayor received a message from the passers-by on the street and rushed over. The security in the town was very good, and everyone had no habit of locking the door. Under the witness of the mayor, the three of them opened Neo's door with a casual push and walked into the house.
"It seems that you don't have the habit of locking doors here." Panis looked around and said, "Do you don't lock the door when you go far? What if a beast runs in to avoid the cold overnight?"
"Uh, if you go far, you will usually lock the door, but sometimes you will forget it accidentally." The mayor explained: "As for this door, it should have been opened when Lao Dake was looking for his daughter. It is said that Lao Dake is like half a son, and Lao Dake also has the key to the Nao family."
"Oh, I understand." Panis nodded, without making any comments, and wandered around the house with his hands behind his back. Ner's home is very small. Except for the living room on the main entrance, there is only a kitchen, a narrow bathroom and a storage room on the first floor, and the second floor is even smaller, with only two bedrooms. Panis did not say a word, and each room went around. The room was very clean and everything was arranged very neatly. Obviously, the owner of the room was very careful. Panis casually flipped through the things in each room, and actually picked up some small furnishings and put them under his nose to smell it. Finally, he returned to the living room on the first floor. Panis took a few deep breaths again, as if he wanted to remember the smell here. The mayor completely didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Panis's movements blankly. It was not until Panis nodded at him that he reacted and asked blankly: "Are you finished checking?"
"Yeah, that's OK." Pennis' expression was strange, and he said to the mayor: "Can you take me to the Chester house to see it? I have something to ask him."
The mayor was stunned and asked in a low voice: "You mean, this matter has something to do with Little Chester?"
"It's hard to say." Panis shook his head and said, "But don't you find it strange? I remember when I first met you said that those children who went to the north to see the world would return to town in a few years, no matter how they were outside."
"Yes, yes." The mayor remembered and nodded, "That's what I said."
"And looking at the arrangement of this room, Neo was ready to travel far when he left, and everything was packed up." Pannis pointed to the furniture in the room and said, "Since the owner has packed these things so carefully, how could he forget to lock the door? As for the door that Lao Dark opened, it was even more impossible. He was so anxious that he ran out to find his daughter without even checking his daughter's room. How could he bring the key to Neo's room? And I looked at the lock on the door. There were no signs of locking from outside these days when the snowstorm recently, so it was only possible that he did not lock the door when he left. This was inconsistent with his previous guess. What do you think?"
"So what do you think Chester may know?" asked the mayor tentatively, "or when Neo left, he simply entrusts his house to Chester to take care of?"
"They have a good relationship," Panis asked. "Would it be strange if Neo left, would it be entrusted to Chester? And I made this judgment with another basis, the smell on these two chairs. The townsmen who came in before obviously did not have the mood to sit here and rest, so there were two odors left on the chair. The chair was the owner of the house, and the other one was a stranger, and it was absolutely impossible for a woman like Betty. More importantly, the two smells were retained very close, and it was very likely that the stranger left the room with the owner."
"Indeed, they both played together since childhood and lost their parents in the same year. Later, they had a closer relationship, just like brothers." The mayor recalled: "It's really possible to say that, damn little Chester, did he really hide the facts for those two little guys? Bastard, if this is true, I have to beat him to death for his dead parents."
