Chapter 20: The Shadows of the Town

"These idiots, bastards, sons of bitches...... If it weren't for the rule that you can't shoot at ordinary people, I'll just shoot them off in the head! ”

After the police chief of Wuye Town personally apologized and "compensated" John for his "grievances" for the past three days, Ye Qi and John said goodbye to the enthusiastic police chief with the information about the case and went to the only hotel in town. However, it is clear that John is very dissatisfied with the three days of imprisonment, and even after receiving an apology from the other party and a large amount of compensation, he still chatters and curses.

Ye Qi, who was sitting opposite, listened to John's long-lost scolding, and his heart couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. However, Ye Qi didn't say what was in his heart, but said in the style he always got along with John: "It seems that the food in the cell of Wuye Town is good, John, you are still so energetic!" ”

"Really? Then you should really try the green ecological food of potato juice for breakfast, steamed potatoes for lunch, and mashed potatoes for dinner! It's sure to make you unforgettable! John looked at Ye Qi with a hippie smile and immediately sneered, but there was an imperceptible smile hidden in his eyes.

"Well, let's leave these potatoes alone! Let's talk about this case! Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and changed the topic very wisely: "What the hell is doing it?" Ghoul? Dark Wizard? Or some other? ”

"Before I say any more, I have to ask you, Ye! How did you end up here! Don't tell me you snuck in alone! John looked at Ye Qi solemnly.

"Nope! Of course not! I'm not a rebellious teenager, I can play tricks like 'running away from home'! I was sent by Old Ward to help you! If you don't believe me, you can call Old Ward! Also, I ......"

"Bastard! That old bastard who fell into the eyes of money, was his head squeezed by the door? This mission is simply not something a rookie like you can meddle in! When I get back to Tallinn, I'm going to clean him up! ”

Before Ye Qi could tell him about his "awakening" promotion to apostle, John jumped up, and while scolding, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the profiteer, and as soon as the phone rang, John scolded without waiting for the profiteer to speak: "You stingy, greedy, old bastard who deserves to go to hell to atone for your sins!" How can you let Ye come to me! Do you know the road...... What the? What did you say...... Ye awakens the flame control and becomes an apostle! Hunted vampires with knighthoods...... Oh, that's it, then I'll hang up first, and I'll invite you to drink when I get back...... What the? I scolded you? No, no, absolutely impossible! Old Ward, we have been friends for so many years, and the signal is definitely not good just now...... What the? What the? Old Ward, I can't hear what you're saying! The signal here is too bad! Let's hang up first, we'll meet and talk later! ”

"Bastard stinkboy, did you mean it?"

As soon as John hung up the phone, he saw Ye Qi who was holding back a smile, and immediately glared.

"You called Old Ward in a hurry before I could finish speaking!" Ye Qi immediately shook his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with him: "Now, can you talk about this mission?" ”

Although he knew that Ye Qi was not telling the truth, John, who knew Ye Qi's rogue character, understood that even if he was entangled, he would be escaped by Ye Qi, so he directly talked about this case.

"This mission is definitely not as simple as a ghoul or a dark wizard! Although I didn't investigate for a long time, I found that in the process of robbing the tomb again, there were still four abnormal deaths in Wuye Town! One of them was a couple, and while doing it, the man strangled the woman to death, and then committed suicide! The two in the back were a pair of friends, but they pulled out their guns and shot each other, one was blown up in the head, and the other was shot through the heart! With my years of experience, the deaths of these four people are definitely related to the continuous tomb robbing! One of the things that worries me the most is that Pike, the witcher who asked me to come here to help, has not been able to be contacted, and I suspect that something has happened to Pike! ”

"Is there any object of suspicion?"

Tomb robbery plus murder, the disappearance of Pike, the witcher who asked for help, and then thinking about the danger of C+-level missions, Ye Qi's brows tightened.

"I've been in my cell for half a day since I came here, and I've done my best to find out this! As for the object of suspicion, all I can be sure of now is that this person is definitely from Leafless Town! Who it is, it depends on our efforts! ”

"Well, then we'll start investigating after lunch!"

"Oh, what a shame! It's finally time to say goodbye to that damn potato! ”

Lunch did not disappoint John, and after tasting other foods that he had not seen for a long time, John, who was full of spirits, took Ye Qi and began to investigate.

Everything in Leafless Town started with tomb robbing, so the first stop for the two of them was naturally to go to the stolen cemetery to investigate. However, it is a pity that the cunning murderer did not leave any clues at all, and the two found nothing except a few empty tombs that had been stolen.

The two spent an afternoon in the cemetery, and when it was completely dark, they returned to the town exhausted. However, when they first stepped into Leafless Town, the two of them couldn't help but feel that the situation in the town was wrong, and it stands to reason that a town like Leafless Town should be quiet and silent after dark, except for the bars that may be lively. But today, the streets of Leafless Town are full of people, and even if they talk to each other, they are talking in whispers, and the atmosphere is unusually solemn, even like the wind and trees.

Ye Qi and John glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Ye Qi's hand was already involuntarily holding the M500.

"Mr. Jack! Mr. Jack! ”

Just as the two were about to find out what was going on, the police chief and two officers ran to the two men who had just entered the town out of breath and shouted, "Oh no! Something happened in the central square! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Someone was killed!"

Hearing that someone had been killed again, Ye Qi and John immediately rushed to the central square. And when Ye Qi saw the dead body in the central square, he immediately knew that the atmosphere in Wuye Town was so solemn - on the bell tower of the central square, there was a corpse hanging upside down. Of course, the corpse does not cause panic. What caused panic was that the corpse's eyes and internal organs were pulled out, and it hung there disemboweled. Blood trickled down the walls of the bell tower and converged into a blinding red on the stone floor of the central square.

"Yes, Pike!"

John leaned into Ye Qi's ear and said, and suddenly the witcher's brow furrowed even tighter.
