Chapter 762 The Missing Ogre
"Yes, I remembered it too." Claire interjected, "The ogre was beaten to death by Musk on the boxing ring. Before it died, it was like a little kid, crying and calling for mother."

"Ah? There is such a thing?!" Lisa's beautiful blue eyes widened in surprise, "Musk! That ogre's mother... did she come to you for revenge?"

"No." Gao Fei shook his head lightly, "If Mr. Mario hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten about it."

"That's right, what happened half a year ago, what do you mean by suddenly bringing it up now?" Claire asked Mario.

"Hey! It's not the task assigned by the elder brother!"

Mario looked depressed.

"After the fight that day, Brother Umberto asked me to find out why an ogre came to Patus Street, and why no one noticed it before he passed out drunk in the alley near the tavern. guy?"

"This is really strange." Claire frowned slightly, "Although Patus Street is mixed with fish and dragons, it is not a place where ogres can come and go at will."

"That's what I said! Later, I took a few brothers to investigate this matter, but the result was not smooth, and there was no clue for a long time."

"Until this afternoon, the two brothers in the gang found two more drunken ogres near the tavern!"

"These two idiots both insisted that they were their mother's most beloved son. After arguing and arguing, they wrestled and rolled around like two wild boars, attracting many people to watch the scene."

"When I heard the news, I hurried over to catch these two drunk ogres."

"I didn't expect these two bastards to be quite alert. If they don't have a good sense, they run away!"

"I took my brothers all the way and lost track of them near the dump."

"That's the end? You're still a thief, and you were thrown away by a drunken ogre. I'm ashamed for you!" Claire sneered.

"That's definitely not possible!" Mario stared unconvinced. "I searched carefully around the garbage dump, and soon found a hidden path. The big footprints on the mud were definitely stepped on by ogres!"

"I followed the footprints with my brothers. Guess where I ended up?"

"Don't go around in circles, don't talk if you like!" Claire rolled her eyes.

"Mr. Mario, where did you end up tracking?"

Lisa took the conversation with a wink.

"Ha! You can't imagine that it's actually a workhouse!"

"The workhouse..." Lisa froze for a moment, then turned to ask Gao Fei, "Where is that place?"

"A place dedicated to adopting orphans and street children." Gao Fei smiled, "You can think of it as a charitable welfare organization."

"Isn't that right?" Lisa was full of surprise. "All such welfare institutions should be registered with the church. How come I didn't know there was such an orphanage on Patus Street?"

"My lady! As you are, at most you know about the official welfare organization that belongs to the church system. The poorhouse on Patus Street is a private charity organization that does not need government funding and does not collect donations in churches. It's normal if you don't know .”

Mario laughed and teased Miss Qianjin who didn't know the sufferings of the world.

Lisa scratched her head in embarrassment, and said with emotion: "I didn't even know there was such a purely privately funded workhouse. The founder must be a rich and kind-hearted person!"

"The founders of the Patus Street Workhouse, Mrs. and Mrs. Freddie, are indeed very rich and have a good reputation, but the couple live in a relatively remote place, and usually rarely deal with outsiders."

After Claire explained briefly, she then asked Mario.

"Did you catch those two ogres in the end?"

Mario shook his head slightly.

"We followed the footprints to the workhouse, crossed the yard, went out through the back door, and continued to track until the footprints disappeared outside the walls of the Freddy's mansion."

"As you all know, the Freddy family's mansion is very grand. It is built on a small hill surrounded by a beautiful garden. From the balcony on the top floor, you can overlook the street view of Patus Street."

"I knocked on the door and asked Mr. Carl Freddy, the owner of the mansion, if he had seen two ogres breaking into the mansion."

"Mr. Freddy shook his head and denied it, but I was still worried. After my repeated insistence, he reluctantly agreed for me to enter the house and search for traces of ogres."

"I wandered around this mansion, but I didn't find the ogre figure, but the suspicion in my heart didn't decrease but increased."

"What are you suspecting, Mario?" Claire asked.

"Such a large mansion is empty and deserted. Apart from Freddy and his wife, there are only three tall and strong young people living in it."

"These three young men don't look very smart. They claim to be the adopted sons of Freddy and his wife. The smell of alcohol on their bodies is really suspicious..."

"You suspect that two of them are actually ogres in disguise?" Goofy asked Mario.

"I really think so. Unfortunately, there is no evidence, and I don't want to offend the Freddy couple. I can only leave first. I plan to ask Brother Umberto to come forward and investigate the Freddy family in depth."

"What does Carl Freddy do?" Lisa asked a question that Goofy was also interested in.

"Carl's father is a sea blue immigrant, and his mother is a local. Like most second-generation immigrants, Carl joined the army at a young age and served in the New World."

"It is said that he performed very bravely on the battlefield and was honorably wounded many times. He retired with the rank of cavalry captain eight years ago."

"After retiring, Carl Freddy started a business with his uncle, and later inherited a large inheritance and the villa on the hill from his uncle, and he has lived a good life since then."

Mario stopped to take a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and then told about Freddy and his wife.

"About four years ago, Carl Freddy was bewitched by a woman named Agatha, and soon married this tall, buxom, beautiful widow."

"Mrs. Freddy is keen on charity. With the money her husband gave her, she established a workhouse and adopted street children."

Having said that, Mario lowered his voice, his expression became a little subtle.

"It's strange to say that Mrs. Freddy's workhouse has been actively adopting street children these years, but very few grown-up orphans leave the workhouse, as if they all disappeared."

"Of course, we all know that the living conditions in the workhouse are terrible, and the adopted orphans do die very easily."

"But after four full years, only three orphans have grown up safely and stayed with the Freddys, the three I saw in Freddy's yard this afternoon. Is it reasonable?"
