Chapter 704: The Strange Missing Man (5)

An took a sip of wine, the taste of this thing is far from good, in the end it is just a bar in a remote town, considering the inconvenient transportation, some are good to drink.

Because Hela loves to drink, Ann's taste for wine has gradually increased recently, and he really doesn't like it, so he puts it there after taking a sip.

I was about to pretend to chat and observe the guests around me, when Apple Tea got up and whispered:

"I've found a colleague, maybe we can get something from him."

"Peers?"

Appletea didn't explain much, jumping out of her chair (his height was only jumping) and whistling towards the bar.

It wasn't long before he was standing behind a tall, lanky man who had just received a large glass of dark beer from the bartender, and slammed his thigh as he turned around.

"Oops! Why don't you look at this when you walk! ”

Appletea's shrill voice stunned the man, but he didn't say much, but apologized and walked to the side of the bar, leaning against the wall and taking a sip of beer.

The apple tea didn't give up, and the bartender asked for a glass of brandy, and came back slowly.

On the surface, it looked like an ordinary bump in a bar, and the most the guests looked at him, as if they were surprised that such a short person existed, and then went on with what to do.

When the apple tea returned, he slapped a black leather purse on the table, and took out his own wallet, and took out two ten-pound bills from it and pressed them underneath.

"Hehe, just wait for him to come to the door."

Everyone: "......"

When did this product get its hands on it? Just hit that kung fu?

There is no theft skill in the world of the brave, which means that apple tea stealing is all about dexterity in hand, and this skill is not something that can be done with high agility alone.

"Apple ......"

"What?"

"It's better not to do it realistically, it's easy to go in and pick up soap."

“……”

Red and Qingfeng Bazooka also nodded quite approvingly, due to the development of technology, even the most clever thief will have nothing to hide under the cameras all over the ground, and it is certain that the thief will be taken away by the police uncle for tea.

"By the way, how did you find out he's a thief?"

Red asked.

"Look at the hands."

Appletea pulls out a coin and lets it fly up and down between your fingers, and the flexibility of the coin is simply dizzying.

"I just saw that the man did this kind of small movement, which shows that his fingers are very flexible and he has deliberately exercised, so ......"

As everyone was talking, the face of the man who had stolen his wallet changed, he should have found that he had been stolen, and walked towards everyone with a beer mug, just in time to see his wallet being placed in the center of the table.

"I didn't expect to see it away, and I can meet my peers here."

He unceremoniously sat down in the seat next to Appletea, and took the wallet back into his arms, and was slightly stunned when he saw the pound under the wallet, and took it into his arms with him.

"Miss Young Master of the Frost family?"

He muttered a sentence when he saw the buttons on everyone's chests, and then said:

"What do you want to know? I was the most well-informed in the town of Muspoli. ”

Apple Tea raised her eyebrows proudly, this trick of asking for directions he had learned from arranging temporary copies with the Seven Killing Stars before.

"What do you call it?"

"Just call me Donaldson."

He replied with a finger and continued to drink beer.

"I'm a nephew and nephew of Mr. Bilbohm, and I've come here on vacation, and I've heard that Cousin Padridge is missing, so I'd like to find someone to ask what's going on."

It's Red who speaks, except for Qingfeng Bazooka, who was made into a Caucasian appearance by the system, everyone else retains their original appearance, and Ann Yizhi and Apple Tea look like Asians, and they have nothing to do with Bilbohm's dime, so the most suitable person to pretend to be a nephew is Red.

"On vacation with a thief?"

Donaldson muttered, but didn't pay much attention to it:

"It's been all over the town, and everyone in the town knows that Master Padrick is missing, and the police still don't have a clue."

"I heard he was in this bar before he disappeared, you know?"

"Yes, Master Padrick is a good man, and we all know him."

Donaldson gulped down the rest of his beer and said:

"I happened to be at the bar the day he disappeared...... Well, begging for life, the generous young master Padric bought a round of wine for everyone, and everyone was drunk, so I remember it very well. ”

Because it's convenient for you to get drunk......

An Yizhi complained in his heart, and then asked:

Did he say anything? Is it just a whim to buy alcohol for the whole bar? ”

No wonder Bilbom and his son Padridge are at odds, this kind of loser beats seven times a day is rare.

"He drank a lot of wine that day, raised his glass and said loudly, 'I'm going to do a great job,' and then he bought wine for everybody."

"Big business?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Red asked:

"Did he say what his career was?"

"Nope."

Donaldson shook his head:

"Maybe a friend who is familiar with Master Padric may know."

"Who are they?"

"Some of the children of the merchants' families in the town, as well as the son of the mayor and the son of the police chief, they got together for a drink that day."

Perhaps, we should pay a visit to Padrick's friends......

An Yizhi thought silently.

At this time, Breeze Bazooka asked:

"When was that?"

Since Qingfeng Bazooka looked like a wealthy lady, Donaldson was a little restrained when he answered her, and he straightened his posture before saying:

"About six days ago, it was night, I remember it was about ten o'clock."

"Where did Padrick go after that, you know?"

"Hey, Miss, that's what you're saying."

Donaldson smiled:

"If I had known, I would have ordered Mr. Bilboy to put a bounty, a lot of money."

This was the first time I had heard of the fact that in addition to getting detectives and detectives to help, Bilbohm had put a sizable bounty on the town to solicit information about Padridge. Since there was no movement yet, they didn't tell An Yi to point to them.

"Did you tell the police about that?"

"I've said it several times, this young master."

As expected, the information obtained so far is basically something that the police also know, strictly speaking, it is more efficient for them to go directly to the police to find out the details than to chase them step by step, but Bill Bomlin once said before leaving, 'The police in the town are not capable'.

As a result, it's likely that they'll miss some key clues, so players will have to follow the line step by step.

According to the analysis of the information obtained so far, Padrick used to go to this bar with three or five friends to drink before he disappeared, and when he was drunk, he said that he was going to do a big business, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

In this way, the big cause he talks about must be the key to his disappearance.

The question is, what does 'big cause' mean?

This information may have been obtained from a friend who was drinking with Padrick at the time, so An Yizhi was not in a hurry about this question, he thought about it for a while, and asked:

"Was it only himself when Padridge left? Or is there someone else with you? ”

"Well, I don't know, I was busy at the time, and I don't know when Master Padrich left."

"How many of his friends are still in the tavern after Padridge is gone?"

"Just one, the police chief's son continued to drink at the bar, but he drank too much, and spent the night at the tavern, when the others were long gone."

The group then asked about some other information about Padridge, and they didn't go too far into asking about his disappearance, in order to give Donaldson the impression that these people were a little interested in Padridge's whereabouts, but only out of interest, and hid some key questions in small talk.

After all, they came to inquire as relatives, and delving too deep into this aspect may cause some people to be alarmed.

"Young Master, it's the right time for you to come on vacation."

When asked what to do in town, Donaldson replied.

"How?"

"Tomorrow is Advent, and the town will have a celebration."

"Advent?"

What kind of wacky festival is this?

Ann Yizhi boasted that he had read a lot of miscellaneous books, but none of them mentioned the existence of such a festival as 'Advent'.

Donaldson said nonchaldly:

"Hey, it's a festival unique to the backwoods town, once every ten years, and not seen anywhere else."

It is a kind of folk custom festival, and this type of festival can be found in many remote towns.

"What does it look like?"

"Legend has it that on the day of Advent, the gods who blessed the town would come to inspect and see if people were doing well, so in order to reassure the gods, everyone would not go to work on Advent Day, but would make a lot of delicious food and drink at the door of their homes, allowing anyone to eat, and would also do some singing and dancing performances in the central square, which was just a little entertainment for the countrymen."

It may not sound like anything outrageous, but similar customs are found all over the world, and it is a common law to celebrate festivals with eating, drinking, singing and dancing.

However, in a copy that is very likely to have something indescribable, the word Advent makes An Yizhi feel very bad.

It's very sad, his hunch is very accurate, especially the bad side.

But think about it another way, assuming that 'Advent' is a big hole, and it is also a key point in the plot of the dungeon, which means that players will not encounter too dangerous things before 'Advent', after all, this is just a copy of ordinary difficulty, if you concentrate the 'difficulty' in one place, it is really a slot, but the system will definitely leave enough time for players to prepare, or collect clues and hints, such as now.

As Red previously analyzed, players are not in danger for the time being, so instead of thinking about it, it is difficult to guess what will happen next, so it is better to focus on the present and follow the line of Padridge's disappearance all the way.

Unable to get any more information from Donaldson, the four of them checked out and left, just in time to meet two sailors who had just entered the tavern before leaving the door.

"Look at the weather, there's going to be a storm tomorrow."

"Who's to say it's not, it's a disappointment to have a storm on Advent Day."

They muttered that these passed by An Yizhi and the others, and the latter didn't care too much, after all, along the coast, storms or something are normal.

Looking back later, the system may have been trying to convey a message through the fisherman's mouth.

- I'm sure I'll get you up tomorrow!
