The system didn't expect Ye He to wake up in the middle of the night, and couldn't help sighing: [Mother and child are connected. 】

Ye He didn't have time to reply to the system, so he went to the first floor to check the situation, but he still didn't see any trace of the black cat.

Although I know that some cats will go out to play and come back when the time comes, but during these days when Ye He raised Xiao Hei, the other party has always been by his side and never went out alone.

So seeing Xiao Hei missing now, Ye He broke out in a cold sweat.

Although the windows and doors in the house were tightly closed, Ye He decided to go outside to look for Xiao Hei after searching around the house but failing to find Xiao Hei.

Getting along these days has made him regard Xiao Hei as a member of his family, not just a pet.Ye He even thought that if Bob agreed, he would ask the system to allow him to take Xiao Hei out and keep him in the dormitory with Feng Zheng, after all, he also likes cats and dogs.

After all, Xiao Hei is just a kitten, wandering outside for a night, he doesn't know what will happen to him.And I heard from Bob that recently there seems to be a pervert who abuses cats...

Thinking of this, Ye He became more anxious, put on his clothes, opened the door and went out.

The street lights on the street were still on, so Ye He could see his surroundings clearly without using a flashlight. In order not to disturb the surrounding neighbors, he could only call Xiao Hei's name in a low voice while talking to the system in his heart. : "If I really find it outside, I must give it a serious verbal lesson, so that it will stop running around."

These days, the black cat seems to have forgotten its original name. When Bob called it "Love", it didn't respond, but whenever Ye He called it Xiao Hei, the black cat would always appear.

But this time, Ye He couldn't see Xiao Hei running towards him.

The night wind was a bit cold, blowing head-on, Ye He subconsciously gathered his clothes together, and moved the tip of his nose: "Do you smell anything?"

.......Why did he faintly smell a burnt smell?

System: [It smells a bit like barbecue. 】

After being reminded by the system, Ye He felt that the smell was indeed similar, and the smell seemed to come from around the corner.

Soon Ye He's attention returned to the street, his eyes were patrolling around the road, trying to see if Xiao Hei was hiding in any corner.

Just as he was about to turn the corner, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye He's eyes. It was Xiao Hei whom he was looking for so hard.

Ye He bent down, a lost and recovered smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Xiao Hei!"

The black cat didn't make a sound, but jumped directly into Ye He's arms, and rubbed against his neck, as if silently comforting him.

Seeing Ye He's excited appearance when he hugged Xiao Hei, the system felt that the other party should have long forgotten what he said when he went out to teach him a severe lesson.

After finding Xiao Hei, Ye He felt his heart was relieved, and a sense of sleepiness hit his heart, making him want to close his eyes and go back to rest for a while.

He hugged Xiao Hei and turned around and walked towards his house. Xiao Hei curled up in Ye He's arms, coldness flowing in his green eyes.

Because of getting up in the middle of the night last night to look for the cat, this time the alarm clock rang three times, but Ye He couldn't get up.

It wasn't until there was a noisy sound outside the window, even accompanied by screams, that Ye He was dragged out of the dream.

He sat up from the bed angrily, opened the window and looked out.Being blown by the head-on wind, Ye He suddenly regained consciousness, and also saw clearly that the direction of the noise came from the street in front. A group of people were surrounding the corner where he found Xiao Hei last night. He didn't know what they were discussing. There were some screams from time to time.

Ye He wanted to see what happened, but people blocked the corner, so he had to go downstairs to check the situation.

Xiao Hei didn't know when he also got up, jumped off the bed and followed him, Ye He hugged Xiao He in his arms with ease, and walked out of the room.

Bob was also outside, still carrying his schoolbag, trying to look inside on tiptoe. It seemed that he wanted to go to school, but he was stopped by the crowd of onlookers.

Ye He stepped forward and patted Bob on the shoulder: "What happened?"

Bob's body trembled slightly, and then turned his head.At this time, his shape is also very strange, covering his eyes with both hands, but the gap between the fingers is open, looking at people with the eyes exposed between the fingers.

After seeing Ye He, he put down his hand: "Brother Revil."

Ye He went straight to the point: "What happened?"

Bob's face changed: "Someone was burned to death last night."

Before Ye He could speak, his body shook again involuntarily: "I heard that the corpse is quite scary, I didn't dare to look at it, just now a man carrying someone ran out and vomited."

...... No wonder the look just now, originally wanted to watch the fun but didn't dare to look at the corpse.

As if responding to Bob's words, the people who were still crowded together dispersed for a moment, and there was a piercing scream. It turned out that someone had lifted the body out.

And Ye He was also able to see the appearance of the corpse through the gaps in the crowd. Although he was not very afraid of the corpse, he still had to admit that the corpse in front of him was really disgusting.

After seeing the appearance of the corpse, he subconsciously covered the eyes of the black cat in his arms.

The black cat obviously didn't expect Ye He to do this action, and his body froze, but Ye He didn't notice the abnormality of the black cat's flashing past, and his attention was all on the corpse in front of him.

The skin of the corpse had been scorched, and although the eyes were open, the eyeballs seemed to have been burned away, leaving only two empty holes.Blown by the wind, the scorched outer skin, like old wall skin, began to fall off piece by piece, revealing the soft and rotten meat, tendons and bones inside, as well as a smell of burnt meat.

And several young people carrying stretchers couldn't help but bend down and retch after putting down the corpse.

This taste...

Ye He instantly thought of the smell he smelled when he was looking for a cat last night.

Thinking that the smell of last night might be the burnt human flesh in front of him, Ye He's scalp tingled, and he felt that he must not have any appetite for meat this year.

Bob had already tightly covered his eyes at the moment when the corpse was lifted out, turned his head and said tremblingly to the air behind him: "Brother Revel, is the corpse scary?"

Ye He: "...I'm standing on your left now."

The corpse was indeed a little scary, Ye He told Bob to cover his eyes, and then his eyes fell on the corpse not far away.

He always felt that this corpse... looked inexplicably familiar.

There was a discussion among the crowd: "Who is this? The face is so burned that I can't tell."

"From George's private detective agency, it must be George."

Although he didn't know who George was, he still recognized the middle-aged man who came to trouble last night from the shape of the corpse and the abnormally bent hand.

Ye He still remembered that the other party was taken away by Andersey at that time, but he didn't expect to become like this after only one night.

Someone couldn't bear to look away, and turned to ask one of the young people carrying a stretcher: "Is George suicide or homicide?"

As soon as he heard George's name, the young man who had finally finished retching suddenly turned pale, and said with difficulty: "It was suicide. There is no second person in the house."

The person who asked the question answered, "It's strange, he is so afraid of fire, yet he chooses to be burned to death..."

Another young man continued: "Yes, I used to smoke in front of him, and he was afraid of the sparks, so he let me put them out. It is said that he was burned when he was a child."

"And the fire is also strange. There is nothing wrong with the house, but the people are gone, and it is not clear what he used to light the fire."

George was from the town himself, so they both knew each other too.

Ye He also felt very strange when he heard the words of several young people.Bob was not very courageous. After hearing these words, he closed his eyes and covered his ears instead.

Ye He suddenly heard an inaudible sigh: "This month just started, why did three people die all at once?"

Hearing what the other party said, Ye He was taken aback. Besides Goddess Bob's uncle, George, someone died this month?

In any case, it is indeed strange that three people died at the beginning of a month.Moreover, Ye He came to this dungeon at the beginning of the month. Except for George's death, the deaths of the other two people were all silent.

Just when Ye He felt a little strange, someone beside him called out "mayor" respectfully first, and then everyone else turned their eyes and called out "mayor" one after another.

Ye He looked curiously, this was the first time he had seen the mayor in so many days in the town.

The mayor was older than Ye He thought. He looked 60 or [-] years old, with gray hair, but his back was not stooped, he was still tall and straight, and he walked over with a deadpan expression, looking a bit serious.

At first glance, Robert was his son. Both his eyebrows, eyes and nose looked like the mayor who was decades younger.

With the arrival of the mayor, the lively crowd quieted down instantly, apparently a little afraid of him.

Looking at the people gathered together, the mayor couldn't help frowning: "What are you all doing here? Are you afraid that others won't notice? Spread out."

Before the people who had gathered had time to react, the mayor went straight through the crowd and walked to George's body.

Ye He noticed that the mayor's face changed obviously when he saw the corpse, mixed with fear and anxiety.

However, the mayor's abnormal expression only appeared for a moment, and soon he changed into a deadpan expression: "Hurry up and find a place to bury it."

Ye He frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple: "This mayor is weird."

Even if the mayor knew that George committed suicide before he came, the reaction of opening his mouth to bury the body at this time is not quite right.

The system immediately became vigilant: [No reasoning. 】

Experience tells it that Ye He's reasoning only pushes the truth further.

Hearing the system's words, Ye He knew that the other party was unwilling to share his reasoning process with him, so he could only sigh regretfully.

The mayor over there was instructing them to find a place to bury George quickly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the figure he least expected to appear.

At some point, Andersey and his party came over.

Ye He also noticed Andersey's approach, and noticed that most of the girls in the crowd had their eyes fixed on Andersey.

Ye He's mood was a bit complicated: "....Did someone look at me like that at that time?"

The system comforted: [Yes. 】

But most of them are men.

Ye He got some comfort.

After seeing the press cards and camera equipment on several people, some of them had already dispersed, and Bob also hurriedly pulled Ye He to the side.

Although some girls were unwilling to leave, they could only reluctantly leave first when they noticed that the mayor's gaze fell on them like a knife.

Even if Ye He wanted to stay, seeing that there were not many people here, it would be very abrupt if he chose to stay, so he reluctantly gave up the gossip here and returned to the detective agency first.

Windsor and Lilian also noticed the gazes cast by those girls, and their moods were very calm. After all, Andersey did have an indescribable charm for women, and the two of them could not resist each other.

When the mayor saw Andersey and his group, his expression fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal when he saw a few people approaching. He stood in front of the corpse and looked at the leader Andersey: "There is some blood here. , there is a girl behind you, it's best not to look close."

Although Andersey in front of him was much younger than him, because the other party was employed by the city agency that managed the town, the mayor had to use "you" even if he didn't want to.

Andersey said softly: "It's okay, we're just curious about what happened."

The mayor explained: "A resident of the town committed suicide. He has no other relatives, so I will help him arrange his funeral..."

Because several people were in front of them, the mayor knew that it was useless for him to cover up George's death, but would arouse their suspicion, so he could only tell the truth in order to get rid of the few people in front of him.

Before he finished speaking, several people behind Andersey had passed the mayor and looked in.

Several people are players, except for one of the novice players and the uncle with the camera who vomited when seeing the corpse, the others have more or less experienced dungeons, so the reaction when seeing the corpse is not so big .

The mayor's eyes paused on the uncle for a few seconds, but when he saw the man bowed and retched, he looked away again.

Windsor clicked her tongue and said, "Another person died? I heard that this is the second or third death in the town this month? Did the other two commit suicide too?"

The mayor said blankly: "Who did you hear the rumors from? I have never left this town, and I never knew that other people died in the town this month."

Seeing the mayor's determined expression, Windsor's expression suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment, and he remained silent.

Seeing that Windsor was really speechless, Andersey stood up: "We heard this by accident on the side of the road before. The distance is far, and it is possible that we heard it wrong."

Hearing what Andersey said, Windsor quickly nodded in agreement, and the embarrassment just dissipated a bit: "That's right."

Even so, the mayor still looked silently at the few people, but he said: "So that's the case, and I have never heard such words before, so I heard Miss Windsor suddenly It’s kind of weird to say it.”

"I'm sorry if my attitude just now frightened Miss Windsor. But please forgive me. After all, any mayor will be unhappy when he hears that there are other unwarranted murders in his town."

Andersey nodded, then suddenly changed the topic and proposed his own purpose: "We want to go to the scene of the accident and take a look."

The mayor's face changed suddenly, and he almost subconsciously wanted to say "No", but Andersey said first: "Don't worry, we won't record it on camera, we just want to take a look at the place where the accident happened."

"After all, our task is to shoot a promotional video for the town. We need to know where the accident happened so that we can avoid it when we shoot later."

Mayor: "This..."

Andersey tilted his head slightly, some strands of hair fell on his forehead, casting mottled shadows, and the amber eyes were a little more probing: "Or, you have something hard to hide, so I don't want to Let's check it out?"

Naturally, the mayor noticed Andersey's sight, and the other party had already blocked his way out.He knew that if he didn't agree, it would make Andersey and his party even more suspicious.

After a long silence, the mayor said, "Okay, I'll let someone take you there. I...I still have some things to deal with, so I won't go with you."

Although the mayor tried his best to hide it, Andersey could still hear the tremor in the voice of the other party.

The mayor is afraid of something.

Because Bob was going to school, Ye He soon separated from him.

Not long after returning to the detective agency, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

It was Judith.

Because of the previous experience, Ye He was no longer so scared when he saw the other party struggling to put his head on the table, but smiled kindly: "Judith, are you the only one coming here?" ?”

Thinking that Judith has a mental problem, for the safety of the other party, he is ready to leave Judith here first, and wait for her mother to come and lead her.

After a few seconds, Judith shook her head and said slowly, "No...not."

"Someone come with me, she's here."

Although Judith spoke slowly, her enunciation was clear.

The smile on Ye He's face froze, and he couldn't help hugging the black cat in his arms: "...System, do you see anyone else in the room besides Judith?"

He even stood up and looked at the door, but there was no third person in the room other than him and Judith.

The system was also a little puzzled: [No, but Judith has a mental problem, maybe she is talking about her imaginary friend. 】

Hearing the system's words, Ye He also thought of Judith's strange painting, and tentatively asked, "Did your friend come with you? Did your friend find it?"

This time Judith's reaction was quick, she nodded immediately, and even showed a smile on her face.

Ye He breathed a sigh of relief, he understood that it must be like Judith's mother said, the other party had hallucinations again.

Not long after Judith nodded, she suddenly turned her head to look at the door as if realizing something, and said in a daze, "Hey, where is my friend?"

She seemed to realize that there were only herself and Ye He in the room, and she lowered her head a little lonely: "She left me and ran away again, she doesn't want to show up these days."

Seeing how well Judith said, Ye He felt pity in his heart. He vaguely remembered that Judith's mother said that because of illness, no children would play with her. Diss would imagine a reason for a friend to accompany her.

Ye He thought of an important question: "Does your mother know that you have escaped?"

Although Judith reacted slowly, she could understand these words: "No, I went out with my friends to find her father. Mom... Mom doesn't allow me to play with her and scolds me, sometimes hit me..."

Hearing Judith's words, Ye He's face suddenly became serious: "She still beats you?"

Judith didn't seem to care about this question, but looked at Ye He expectantly: "Can you help me find my friend's father? Her father is tall and big, and there is this thing on his shoulder... ..."

Judith took out another piece of paper from her pocket, Ye He put the cat on the table, opened it, and found something that looked like a leaf was drawn on it, she was a little confused for a moment: "This is... "

The system recognized what was on it: [This looks like the police badge of this world. 】

Ye He was stunned: "Isn't there no police in the town? Where did Judith see the police badge?"

The system is also a little puzzled.

Ye He had no choice but to look at Judith, pointed to the picture on it and asked, "It's really pretty, but it looks familiar. Did you draw it after something?"

Hearing Ye He praise herself, Judith showed a smile on her face, paused for a few seconds and said excitedly: "Yes...my friend instructed me to draw, and she also said that I draw very beautifully. .”

Ye He knew that it was impossible for him to get the answer, and sighed in his heart: "From ancient times to the present, I have a series of unsolved unsolved cases..."

system:【......】

Although it didn't understand Ye He's meaning, it didn't expect this to be a problem that has troubled human beings for a long time.

Judith looked at the picture she drew, and suddenly her eyes turned red, and she began to wipe tears, and she also had a tendency to cry.

It was the first time Ye He saw a child crying, and he was at a loss for a moment: "What's wrong?"

Why is Judith crying all of a sudden? !

Judith said, sobbing, "You... can you find her daddy? She's my best friend and I want to help her."

Ye He just wanted to tell Judith not to cry first, so he nodded repeatedly without hearing what the other person said, and handed over the tissue in his hand: "Of course, please don't cry."

As soon as he finished speaking, a systematic voice rang in his ears: [Congratulations to the host for triggering a random task: completing Judith's commission and finding her friend's father (unfinished). 】

Ye He: "..."

Wait, what did he just hear?

After the system repeated the task again, he realized that he had heard correctly.

Wasn't Judith's friend a figment of her imagination?Where is he going to find a father for the other party?
