"Well, okay, I'll explain it." Panis pointed to the map and said, "Look, Bob's wife and two travelers came out of the house and walked about halfway around here. At the speed of a normal woman, about four or five minutes, that is, more than fifty minutes before the start of the Harvest Festival. Yes, it's here, I'll draw a circle. Then, Mrs. Schneider's husband, Oh, Mr. Schneider, set out from home and walked to the vicinity where I draw circles now. The pace of the middle-aged man walked this distance, about twenty minutes, and about fifty minutes before the Harvest Festival. Then, Harry's son Little Harry ran from home to this point, which should be about fifteen to twenty minutes, but because Little Harry was chasing his father and was more active, it is not ruled out that he used to run. Then, time can actually be compressed to the point about fifty minutes before the Harvest Festival."

"In the same time period, around here, around here, and here, there." Panis pointed to three areas on the map in turn: "Someone was missing in these three locations. If Mr. Brown's father walked here as I guess, he would have to add this area, OK, now it's clear."

"This is...a circular area." Mirak's finger was drawing on the map.

"Yes, a circular area." Panis drew a circle, covering the entire area: "In the early morning, before dawn and there were very few pedestrians on the street, these people disappeared at the boundary of this range. This is very similar to the hunting behavior of monsters or beasts, and it is very clever to avoid large crowds of monsters or beasts."

Mirak had a little sweat on his head: "This monster is still hidden in the village?"

"I don't know." Panis spread his hands and said, "But, what we have to do now is to go to the center of this circular range first. Do you know who is here?"

Mirak went up to identify it: "Let me see, well, this is probably the Ryan family, a very ordinary family."

"Go and have a look." Panis stood up: "I hope my guess is wrong."

The Ryan family is indeed a very ordinary family. The stone built a low courtyard wall of one person, and the top was loosely surrounded by a wooden fence. The wooden door was closed and locked from the inside. No one responded to the knocking door for a long time. At the warning of Pannis, Pastor Mirak tentatively knocked on the door next door. Fortunately, there was an old man next door at home. Mirak and the old man chatted briefly and walked back with a heavy face.

"Mr. Pannis, it seems that your speculation is correct." Mirac said, staring at the wooden door of the Ryan family: "The neighbor said that he had not seen the Ryan family since yesterday, and it seemed that the man from his family had not gone before the memorial service this morning."

"Go in and have a look." Panis lightly climbed over the wall and opened the door from inside. The four of them walked into the yard of Rhine's house. Everything in the yard was normal. The farm tools were neatly placed at the door, and the washed clothes were hung on the ropes. The trolley in the corner was also placed in the trolley for goods to be sold at the Harvest Festival. When they walked around to the backyard, everything in the backyard was normal. The only abnormal thing was that the house facing the yard was open and the door was not closed.

The room is not big, there are only three rooms in total. When you enter the door, you will find a small room as a restaurant. On the left is the bedroom and on the right is the kitchen. Everything is as usual in the room, without any signs of chaos, and there are even bread and soup on the table.

Panis walked to the table, approached the food and sniffed it: "The potato soup should have been from noon the day before yesterday, and it has been two days."

"Pastor Mirak." Lina asked, "How many people are in his family?"

"There are only two of them, they are still young and have no children." The pastor replied.

Lina walked around the room a few times, walked to the kitchen, and thought, "If I were Mrs. Ryan, I was cooking lunch, and I heard a strange noise, and then... no, nothing else, the table was all their lunch, then, I just finished lunch and put the food on the table, and everything was still normal. Then what should I do? I should ask my husband to come for dinner. But the door was still locked, so it seems that I was not out of the yard, so the problem was out of the yard. Aishelli, that's right."

After Lina said something to someone, she continued to think, "Then, I pushed open the door and walked out. Um? Oh, yes, you're right. You can also open the door at my own house during the day, and that door cannot explain anything. However, if my husband is also in the house, the next step is to sit down and eat, and I won't go out. Even if something happens outside, my husband will go out to see the situation and I hide in the house. Yes, thank you for your reminder. I should walk out of the house and call my husband for dinner. The front yard can be called through the door, so the problem should be in the back yard. Let's go to the back yard to take a look."

"Wait." Just as I was about to walk through the narrow path between the house and the yard wall toward the backyard, Penis suddenly grabbed Lina and said, "Look."

"Footprints." Lina bent down and observed the muddy ground for a moment: "It was indeed a woman's footprint, but this footprint was too deep. Is she still holding a heavy object? No, Pastor Mirak, when was the last time it rained?"

"Three days ago." Mirac replied with certainty: "In the glory of the goddess, it will not rain for two days before the harvest festival, so I remember it very clearly."

"That's right. It rained three days ago, two days ago, the day before yesterday, the ground had not dried yet, so the footprints were relatively deep but there was no blurring of the boundaries of the footprints in the mud. Moreover, there were only footprints leading to the backyard, and there was no return." Lina nodded and said, "In other words, in the end, no, no, Mrs. Ryan finally walked towards the backyard and then did not come back."

When you walk into the backyard, the backyard is not big, and most of the ground is cultivated into a small vegetable garden. Seven or eight rows of common vegetables are neatly planted in the vegetable garden. Next to the vegetable garden is a low and narrow utility room. The door is open, and a cellar is dug on the ground next to the utility room, and the cellar cover is also opened.

Lina and Panis held Mirak and Ledya beside them at the same time. The two looked at the cellar cautiously. Panis nodded: "It's very likely."

"I don't think it's possible, it's certain." Lina stared at the cellar: "I see you brought a small package, is there something for lighting?"

"Yes, but there is no need to use it now." Panis said after signaling several people to return to the front yard: "Ledia, there are most problems in the cellar. Let's watch here, you go buy something."

"Yes, sir." Ledia's answer was very concise.

Panis said: "You go and buy a few ropes, at least twenty meters per piece, and it must be strong. Then buy three torches and four bottles of detergent. Then find the city guards you come together to borrow a bow and a pot of arrows. You are sent to maintain order, and you should also be given a crystal energy lamp, it is best to bring two. That's all."

"I'm sorry, sir." Ladyya said guiltily: "The five of us team members only issued a crystal energy lamp in total."

"It's okay, a cup is OK," Panis said after thinking for a moment, "Can you borrow it for use."

"Yes, sir."

"Then you go, come back to buy the money for you together." Panis waved his hand and said, "She was very nervous, let her run and distract her."

Lina gave Panis a blank look: "Pastor Mirak, what's below may be dangerous. You haven't participated in the battle. You'd better go back first. We'll notify you if there is any situation."

The pastor did not insist, nodded and told him a few words before turning around and leaving.

"What do you think it's like?" Lina asked in a breath of breath when she saw that there were only two of her own people left.

"Not sure yet." Panis shook his head: "But what came out of the soil would not be a good thing, it was quite troublesome."

"Let's go around first?" Lina asked Panis for his opinion: "Now we are the two of us, so there should be no need to worry too much."

"Let's go." Panis quickly walked through the narrow path and returned to the backyard. After looking around for a moment, he waved to Lina. Lina also picked up the hammer and followed her. Panis pointed at herself, pointed at the entrance of the cellar, pointed at Lina, pointed at her feet, and finally pointed at the surroundings. After Lina expressed her understanding, she adjusted her breathing slightly, but did not walk to the cellar, but instead jumped on the roof.

The house is not high and only one floor. If you lower your body on the roof, you can't see it outside the courtyard wall at all. Therefore, Panis half-kneeled on the roof with confidence. He observed the entrance of the cellar for a moment and walked slowly towards the cellar along the roof. The house of Ryan's house is relatively old. The wooden sloping roof usually makes a creaking sound even if birds and beasts step on it. However, when Panis walked around, there was no sound. He quietly came to the top of the entrance of the cellar. He looked at the dark entrance and found that there was nothing unusual. He jumped to the ground with confidence and walked around the cellar.

"Come on, it's safe for the time being." Panis shouted in a low voice, called Lina to his side, squatted on the ground and pointed at the wooden cover of the cellar: "Look here."

"Is this... a scratch?" Lina took off her gloves and touched the cover: "It's very shallow scratches, but it's new."

"That's right." Panis flipped the cover: "There is no lock or a bolt, it's just a false cover. Something gently opened the cover and drilled out from the inside."

"No, it didn't come out." Lina pointed to the hard soil on the edge of the cellar and said, "Look, there are a few scratches here, which should be traces left by the claws, but there is no one in front."

"Yes, it really didn't come out. It was just lying down here and attacking Ryan." Pennis nodded.

"Then it should have heard the footsteps of Ryan's wife and retracted. Ryan's wife couldn't find Ryan in the backyard, and the cellar door was open again. She must have thought Ryan had gone down, so she came over naturally and was attacked again." Lina said while studying Ryan's wife's movements.

"Hey, I found something." Panis moved down, reached into the entrance of the cellar, and buckled the vertical wall: "This is... a piece of nails, a woman's nail, with blood at the end, should have been broken off from her fingers."

"Pennis, you found no problem." Lina frowned and said, "If it was hunting, why was there no blood at all, and there was no sign of struggle? The only trace of struggle was a piece of nails inserted here?"

Panis thought for a while and was about to answer when he heard Ladyya, the front yard, lowered her voice: "Sir Panis, Lord Lina, are you here?"
