After Tommen and Memphis left, Abner took the remaining three to meet the owner of the letter.

When Abner crossed the city gate and walked towards Maccury Long Street, Wens glanced at Abner and said, "My lords, I seem to know where that man is."

Abner smiled.

It is rumored that Wang Fu's son had three good things in his life: drinking, walking birds, and visiting brothels.There are no taverns here, even brothels.It is also reasonable to raise two little birds in a brothel.

Sure enough, the group was about to walk to the brothel, and the red ribbon at the door was really dazzling.Abner stopped suddenly and turned to leave.

Wens asked, "What's wrong?"

Abner glanced at Aureas quietly, and said, "Let's go in at another place and follow me."

Abner made a long detour on the long street and turned to the back of the brothel, from which he could see rows of windows.Abner told them to wait by the side first, he tiptoed to a window, and then grabbed the window sill and pushed it up hard.

Wins: "..."

It looked like he was about to climb into the housewife's room and have an affair.

Aureas walked over, put his hands on Abner's waist, and was about to send him up, but Abner struggled and said: "Aureas, no need, you wait at the side first."

But Aureas still lifted him up, and only glanced at it. He shook all over, grabbed Aureas's hand, his ears were red, "Put me down."

Abner walked towards Wins and Keener with his head down, and Wins understood what he saw at a glance.

"A little...wait a while..." Abner whispered.

Not long after, there was a faint groan coming from the window. Wen Si raised his eyebrows, but there was no change on his face. Suddenly, Keener's face turned pale, and he whispered to Wen Si: "Captain...I'm not feeling well, I can Stand there for a while?"

Wen Si nodded blankly and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you need to see a doctor?"

Keener shook his head, walked to the air vent ahead, and took two deep breaths.

Abner pretended he didn't hear anything, went to the grass next to him, plucked a weed, held it in his mouth, hummed a little song, and looked at the nearby scenery casually.Soon he felt a sense of oppression behind him, he didn't turn his head, and continued humming a little song until Oreas asked, "Who are you over there?"

Abner scratched his head and said, "I saved her, and now she helps me in her own way. I didn't do anything...that made you want to break my leg."

Oreas hugged Abner from behind, leaned down, and said softly, "How could I break your leg."

"Ai..." Wins was about to say nothing to Abner, when he saw that the two were tired of being together again, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and silently retreated to Keener, Keener's expression improved a lot.

"Captain, what are you doing here?" Keener asked.

Vince drew out his sword, and a flash of light flashed. He put the sword on his shoulder, stretched out his other hand, and said, "Manicure."

After a long time, Abner jumped on the window and led the others in.Only Keener, who paled when he approached the window, stood outside and waited.

"Please have some tea."

It is pearl.

Wens took the tea and glanced at Abner. Abner whispered softly, and said to Pearl, "Ahem, I'll just say it. You should have seen it too. I brought the Knight Commander."

Pearl bowed slightly to Wen Si and smiled decently, "My lord."

Abner took out the letter from his pocket, spread it out, and said, "You wrote it, right?"

Pearl didn't refute, but nodded.

Abner said, "Pearl, if we release the current prisoner, we must catch the real murderer. So can you make it clear what you want to say?"

Pearl smiled faintly, looked at the big carp hanging on the wall, and said: "Some fish are like this carp on the wall, no matter how beautiful they are, they can only die here. This dead girl is called Luo Xi ..."

It turned out that Luo Xi was a girl from this village. What was different from other girls was that she was more outstanding in appearance and exquisite in craftsmanship, so she would inevitably be a little arrogant.Her handmade products are very delicate, although they cannot be sold in the circle of nobles, they are still well-known.She used to weave hundreds of birds for a brothel, and when she went to deliver the weaving birds, she was taken as a prostitute by the guests. When she was struggling, it was Pearl who helped her out of the predicament, and the two became friends from then on.Luo Xi weaves a big carp and gives it to Pearl, and talks with her often.During the heart-to-heart chat, Pearl gradually realized that Luo Xi was getting along with a guest here, and this guest was a famous lord. At first, Pearl didn't stop her, but once Luo Xi made a slip of the tongue, she found out Rosie has actually had a boyfriend all along.This boyfriend is also a young boy in the village - Booker.

Under Pearl's repeated questioning, Pearl said that she really liked Booker, and she just wanted to use this Lord to send her fabrics into the circle of nobles.She didn't tell anyone that Booker was her boyfriend, and told Booker not to tell her family for the time being.

"This Booker is really..." Abner remembered that when Booker's sister Alia mentioned Roxi, she always said it was a female ghost in red. It seemed that Booker didn't even mention his own sister.

Abner suddenly frowned, turned to Wens, and asked, "Then how do you know that Booker is Rosie's boyfriend?"

Wins replied: "At that time, I learned that the deceased had quarreled with a man named Booker before he was alive, so we found this Booker. Speaking of which, Booker seemed to be an overly honest person. I asked why the quarrel. He just said that he was Luo Xi's boyfriend, and the two had a big fight because of emotional problems."

Abner: "..."

Abner scratched his head and said, "He didn't even mention his own sister, why did he tell you suddenly? Could it be that the sword is resting on his neck?"

Wen Si glared at him, "I didn't, but this young man is so timid. He shrank in fright when he saw us. Do you think I could doubt him at that time?"

Abner raised his eyebrows and said: "No matter who it is, they will have this reaction when they open the door and see a group of men in black with Silver Bow City badge pinned on them."

Wins: "..."

Pearl continued: "I don't know much about Booker. I advised Rosie to stay away from those lords as soon as possible and not to get too deep. She firmly disagreed and even wanted to fall out with me until she told me that day She was pregnant and she said she was scared and just wanted to be with Booker. That was the night she died."

Abner paused, and said, "So, you suspect that the murderer is the Lord?"

Pearl nodded and said, "I'm not doubting, I'm almost sure. Because that day I saw Rosie hurriedly dragging the lord to the warehouse here. At that time, Alex and I were helping in the back kitchen..."

"Alex is the man who turned himself in," Wins added.

"Yes, Alex has always been a child in his heart. After being abandoned by his parents, he has been helping here. Although he grew up here, he is really a good boy. Alex and I were helping in the back kitchen. At this time, someone asked Alex I went to the warehouse to get things. After Alex left for a while, I suddenly thought of Rosie and the Lord, so I hurried over, and saw the Lord go out through another small opening with a nervous expression on his face. I caught a glimpse of blood on his clothes. I searched around in the warehouse and couldn't find Roxi and Alex, but I saw blood on the ground," Pearl sighed, "Alex didn't come back until the next night, and he kept muttering that he killed himself. Man, I dragged him aside to tell him not to talk nonsense. He took me to the warehouse and said that he killed someone here. After listening to his description, I was sure that the man was Roxi. At this time I heard Regarding the rumors about the 'decapitated female ghost', I coaxed Alex and told him that he didn't kill anyone, and he lived in peace for a few days, but I didn't expect that he ran out and surrendered himself yesterday."

Abner was silent for a while after hearing this, and said, "So, you think the murderer is the Lord?"

"Could it be someone else? Alexis doesn't understand anything. He just coaxed Alexis to say that he killed someone. It's easy to lie to a child. Moreover, this lord came several times after Rosie's death. I My suspicion is that I found Alex."

Abner knocked on the table and asked, "Tell me, who is this famous Sir?"

"Lord Aubrey Fernando."

Vince's expression changed.

Abner snorted softly, "So, my history teacher is in trouble."

Pearl said: "Young Master, I know this is difficult for you, but Alex is really innocent. This child was born so hard, and in the end he will live a hard life in the dungeon."

Abner sighed, and said, "But no matter what, we have to have evidence. Take us to the warehouse first."

This warehouse is on the basement floor of the brothel, and you can feel a cold wind as soon as you walk in. Contrary to the fancy decoration above, there are only damp floors, musty wooden barrels, and a pile of dark things , I don’t know what it is. In short, Abner looked around, but there was nothing.Abner also went to see the small mouth where Aubrey fled in a hurry. He looked carefully at the edge and seemed to see some blood-stained spots, but this could not be used as evidence of murder.

Abner said: "Let's go to the dungeon and meet this Alex."

"I'll go too," Pearl said.

Abner scratched his head and said, "Then let's change clothes."

At this moment, Oreas took out the bone of the Son of God, and the bone was shining brightly.

Abner was taken aback, and said to Oreas, "You go first."

Oreas rubbed his head and left first.

As soon as they entered the dungeon, they heard a loud cry: "Ah... You let my brother go! You villain! Let my brother go! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow? ? Don't let my brother go, woo woo woo..."

Abner's brain was stimulated by this voice, and he slapped his forehead, "Alia?"

Wen Si's face was livid, and he strode towards the source of the sound, and it turned out to be the little girl who had made a fuss once.

"Who put her in!" Vince roared.

Alia was so frightened that she choked for a moment, glanced at Wens with tears in her eyes, and lowered her head.

A guard stammered: "My lord, we don't know why she got in suddenly..."

Wen Si's face became even uglier, "They're all a bunch of idiots, get out!"

The guards hurried away with their heads bowed.

When Abner walked in, he hadn't seen Wen Si's face so ugly before, so he might be really angry.

Alia lowered her head, twisted her clothes, glanced at Wen Si from time to time, and huddled in a corner, like a frightened rabbit.Suddenly she caught a glimpse of Abner, raised her head like a king, and ran towards Abner, shouting, "Beautiful little brother! Help me!"

Abner: "..."

At this moment, Wins suddenly grabbed Alia's back collar, lifted it up suddenly, and walked straight to the dungeon.

Alia was frightened, crying, thumping, heart-piercing, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Pearl twisted her face, and said to Abner: "Master, you should think of a way, she is still a child."

Abner frowned.

Abner chased after him, and Wins had already opened an empty cell and threw Alia in, only to see Alia clutching the iron bars in horror, shaking wildly, "I don't want to be here...I don't want to be here... ...Little brother..."

"The king can't save you!" Vince yelled at her, and Aaliyah stopped screaming suddenly.

Abner pulled Wen Si over and said, "It's not good for you."

Wen Si was still angry, and said coldly: "According to the regulations, she should have squatted here for 20 days last time. If she doesn't give some lessons, she can do anything when she grows up!"

Abner: "..."

Wen Si rudely untied his cloak, threw it to the servant, and said, "Don't let any of those idiots who can't see the gate escape! They can't even see a child!"

His roar echoed throughout the dungeon, and Alia didn't dare to shout any more. Even the prisoners who watched the scene stopped whispering.

Abner walked up to Alia, and Alia reached out and grabbed Abner's pants, sobbing, "Little brother... I don't want to be here..."

"What did I tell you last time, huh?"

Alia lowered her head.

Abner tore off her hand and said, "You broke into a dungeon, you angered the sword-clad knight captain, and most importantly, you violated the rules of Silver Bow City, do you understand that?"

Alia nodded.

Abner took a deep breath, and said, "Then you can obediently reflect here for a while."

Wen Si glanced at Abner and said, "Don't dawdle, go see Alex."
