Emilia heard Mary say, she was a little confused, looked at her, and asked uncertainly: "They?"

Andrew smiled and explained: "She means that Zegna will be found."

Emilia nodded slightly, and said, "But, is there anything... strange about this painting?"

Mary didn't speak, but just stared at the painting in silence.

Andrew reached out to take Zegna's sketchbook from Mary's hand and said, "Zenia, how did you sleep before you disappeared?"

Emilia thought for a while and said, "She has always slept well." After a pause, she said, "However, she often hides in the room recently, and seems to be playing on the computer..."

Mary silently looked at the sketchbook in Andrew's hand, and her hand tightly held the bracelet on her wrist.

Peter looked at Mary suspiciously, turned his head, and saw Andrew asking Emilia: "If possible, can we go to Zegna's room and have a look?"

Emilia showed a touch of sadness, stood up and said, "Of course, come with me!"

Andrew and Peter got up, they looked at Mary who was still sitting still, Peter was about to call her, Andrew put his hand on his shoulder, shook his head at him, at the same time put the sketchbook in his hand on the coffee table, turned and followed Ai Milia left the living room.

The living room suddenly fell silent. Mary was staring blankly at the sketchbook. Just now, she saw the red bracelet almost the moment she saw the painting. Although it was just a stick figure, she was sure That is a bracelet, which belongs to them.She suddenly raised her eyes and looked around the room. This little girl named Zegna and Julie must have some connection that she didn't know. Moreover, they were both judged by the police to run away from home. Now, where are they?She reached out, picked up the sketchbook again, and slowly flipped through it from the first page, but slowly, she frowned.

Accompanied by Emilia, Andrew and Peter returned to the living room after checking Zegna's room, and saw Mary kneeling by the coffee table, flipping through the sketchbook rapidly.

“Mary, you…” Andrew looked at her in surprise, “what’s the matter?”

Mary stopped the movements of her hands, raised her head with a gloomy face, took off her glasses, and said in a low voice, "I think, I know why she disappeared."

"Really? How did you find out?" Peter walked towards her immediately.

Andrew didn't walk over with Peter, he stood where he was, and slowly turned his eyes to look at Emilia who was standing beside him. Just when Mary said that he knew why, he caught a glimpse of Emilia's whole body from the corner of his eye. He trembled violently.

Peter squatted beside Mary curiously, and asked, "Is it from above?"

Mary nodded, looked up at Andrew and Emilia, she stared at Emilia, and said softly: "Hey, don't you want to know, why did she disappear?"

Emilia trembled again, and she hugged the shawl tightly.

Andrew and Mary looked at each other, he frowned slightly, and together with Mary, looked at Emilia silently.

Peter didn't pay attention to Andrew and Mary. He reached out and flipped through the sketchbook, trying to see something before Mary didn't announce the answer. However, he failed. The drawings in the sketchbook, except for the last few pages, looked different. Apart from being normal, the other paintings are no different from ordinary children's paintings.

Andrew turned his head, and said to Emilia in a warm voice: "Come on, let's see what Mary finds, shall we?"

The fear in Emilia's eyes grew stronger, she took a step back and shook her head involuntarily.

Peter looked up, he saw Emilia's abnormal behavior, and said in confusion: "Is she, scared?"

Mary stood up with the help of the coffee table, leaned over, picked up the sketchbook and walked to her, said softly: "The reason why Zegna disappeared is here."

Emilia stared at the sketchbook that Mary handed her, her lips trembled for a long time, and she whispered, "Can she come back?"

Mary bit her lip and said for a long while, "I don't know."

When Emilia heard this, she sat down on the ground suddenly. She hugged herself tightly, trembling violently, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to cause trouble, I just want her back."

Andrew looked down at Emilia on the ground. Although he didn't know the reason for the disappearance that Mary said, he could see from Emilia's actions that she actually knew about it. As for the relationship between the child's disappearance and her Whether it matters or not, you need to listen to what she has to say.

Mary slowly squatted down on Emilia. After thinking about it, she simply sat on the floor with the sketchbook on her lap. She was silent for a while, trying to suppress her emotions, and said: "Three years, four months, ten days For three days, she was missing for three years, four months and thirteen days, she was my sister Julie."

Upon hearing this, Emilia looked up in shock and looked at Mary.

Mary reached out and stroked the cover of the sketchbook, and said in a low voice: "Zegna is very talented." As she spoke, she grabbed the edge of the sketchbook with her hands, and quickly flipped through Zegna's paintings from the last page.

The drawings in the sketchbook were flipped, and one page after another passed before Emilia's eyes, like an animation that completely showed the process of a girl being cheated and imprisoned, and her face changed instantly.

Mary stared at her without blinking, her fingers flipping through the sketchbook drawings one by one.

When all the paintings were turned over and the sketchbook fell from Mary's hands on the carpet, Emilia finally broke down and shouted in confusion, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I... I'm I have no choice! But Zegna is innocent! Why, why! I'm sorry!"

Peter looked at Emilia in shock, and murmured: "I'm stuck, what's going on? Why didn't I understand at all?"

Andrew sighed deeply, with a look of sympathy in his eyes. No one expected that Mary had been following Julie hard for more than three years, but found nothing. However, a clue suddenly appeared here.

All that was left in the house was Emilia's weeping and confused murmurs.

Mary looked at Emilia expressionlessly, holding on to the red bracelet on her wrist.

10 minute later.

Emilia, who was emotionally broken, finally stopped crying and calmed down under Andri's comfort. She wiped her tears with her shawl and sat on the sofa, timidly avoiding Mary's gaze.

Mary sat on the sofa opposite her, watched Emilia's actions, and said patiently: "Now, can you tell me, where is Julie?"

Emilia shook her head and said softly, "I don't know."

"What did you say? You don't know?" Mary said through gritted teeth, "Your daughter drew all the things you did, and you tell me now, you don't know? You locked him up, and you said you didn't know?" "She stood up suddenly, reached out and grabbed the sketchbook and threw it towards Emilia fiercely, pointing at her and said word by word: "When you see me, you know who I am, yes Don't you? You already know that Julie is my sister! How can you still act like nothing happened?"

Emilia screamed, shivered and shrank into the sofa with her head in her arms, and shouted indiscriminately: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know, I don't know anything!"

Andrew and Peter stood up and each grabbed Mary who was about to jump. Andrew said loudly: "Hey, Mary, calm down! You can't ask anything like this! Don't you want to find Julie?"

Mary gasped angrily, stared at Emilia fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll ask you again, Julie, where is it?”

Emilia curled up deeper into the sofa, shaking her head frantically, without answering.

Andrew pressed Mary who was about to explode, sighed, and said, "I'll handle it!"

Mary looked at him, bit her lower lip tightly, and lowered her eyes patiently.

Andrew turned his head to look at Emilia and said, "Emilia, since you said you didn't know where Julie was, what exactly do you know? You have to understand that Zegna's disappearance seems to be related to you What you did before has a lot to do with it, so if you can't make it clear, I don't think we can help you get Zegna back."

Probably because Andrew mentioned Zegna, Emilia suddenly raised her head, stared at Andrew in a daze, and said in disbelief, "You guys, are you still willing to help me find Zegna?"

Andrew glanced at Mary, and at this moment, her eyes were full of anger, he nodded firmly to Emilia, and said, "Yes, so, say what you know, everything!"

Emilia fell silent for a moment.

Mary stared at her, feeling that she couldn't bear it anymore. If Andrew and Peter hadn't held her tightly, she would have jumped over and grabbed the woman's hair fiercely, forcing her to tell the truth, to tell Zhu Where the hell is Li!Thinking of this, Mary moved her feet slightly.

Andrew noticed it, and he said in a low voice: "Mary!"

Mary stared at him for a moment, then turned her eyes away.

Peter also glanced at Mary when he heard the words, leaned into her ear, and whispered to her: "Hey, don't be angry, and don't worry, look, she's going to tell what she knows, isn't she? ? Well, actually, I don’t really understand what’s going on, but I think”

"Peter!" Andrew looked at him helplessly.

Peter shrugged, smiled sheepishly, and closed his mouth.

The three looked at Emilia curled up on the sofa, waiting quietly.
