The system didn't expect Ye He to wake up in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but sigh: [Mother and son connect with each other. 】

Before Ye He could reply to the system, he went to the first floor to check the situation, but he still didn't see the black cat.

Although know that some cats will go out to play, they will come back when the time comes, but in the days when Ye He raised Xiaohei, the other party has always been sticking to him, and he has never gone out alone.

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

Although the windows and doors in the house were closed tightly, but after searching around the house and not finding Xiao Hei, Ye He decided to look for Xiao Hei outside.

These days of getting along has made him treat 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 let him take Xiao Hei out, and then he would raise him in the dormitory with Feng Zheng. After all, the other party also likes cats and dogs.

After all, Xiao Hei is just a little cat, wandering outside all night, and don't know what will happen to him. And listening to Bob, it seems that there has been a cat abuse metamorphosis recently...

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

The street lights on the street are still on, so Ye He can see his surroundings clearly without holding a flashlight. In order not to disturb the neighbors around him, he can only whisper Xiao Hei's name while speaking to the system in his heart. : "If you really find it outside, I must give it a verbal lesson, and let it stop running around."

The black cat seems to have forgotten its original name these days. Bob did not respond when he called it "love", but when Ye He called it Xiaohei, the black cat would appear.

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

The wind at night blew towards him with a bit of coldness. Ye He subconsciously gathered his clothes and moved the tip of his nose: "Did you smell anything?"

.......Why did he faintly smell a smelt smell like something being burnt?

System: [It's kind of like a barbecue. 】

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

Soon Ye He's attention returned to the street, his gaze was patrolling around the road, wanting to see if Xiao Hei was hiding in which corner.

When he was about to turn the corner, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye He's eyes. It was the little black he was looking for.

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

The black cat made no sound, but jumped directly into Ye He's arms and rubbed his neck, as if comforting silently.

Seeing Ye He's excitement when he was holding Xiao Hei, the system felt that the other party should have long forgotten what he said when he went out to teach the other party severely.

After finding Xiao Hei, Ye He only felt that the heart that had been hanging was let go, and the feeling of sleepiness took over his heart, making him want to close his eyes and go back to rest for a while.

He hugged Xiao Hei and turned and walked towards his house, Xiao Hei shrank in Ye He's arms, with coldness flowing in his faint green eyes.

Because of the matter of waking up in the middle of the night to look for a cat, this time the alarm clock rang three times, and Ye He couldn't get up.

It wasn't until a noisy sound came from outside the window, even accompanied by screams, that this pulled Ye He out of his dream.

He sat up from the bed angrily, opened the window and looked out. As soon as the oncoming wind blows, Ye He wakes up a bit. He also sees that the noisy direction comes from the street in front. A group of people are surrounding the corner where he found Xiao Hei last night, not knowing what is being discussed. There are some screams from time to time.

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

Xiao Hei didn't know when he got up, jumped out of bed and followed him, Ye He took Xiao Hei in his arms, and then walked out of the house.

Bob was also outside, with his schoolbag on his back, and he was tiptoeing and trying to look inside. It seemed that he wanted to go to school, but he was caught by the crowd of onlookers.

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

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

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

Ye He went straight ahead: "What happened?"

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

Before Ye He could speak, his body shook involuntarily: "I heard that the corpse is terrifying, I didn't dare to look at it. Just now someone who carried someone ran out and just vomited."

... No wonder that the look just now turned out to be for the excitement but not the corpse.

As if responding to Bob's words, the people who were still huddled together broke apart in an instant, and there was a shrill scream. It turned out that someone had carried the body out.

And Ye He was able to see the appearance of the corpse from the gap 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 indeed a bit disgusting.

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

The black cat obviously did not expect that Ye He would do this action, and his body became stiff, but Ye He did not notice the abnormality of the black cat flashing by, and his attention was on the corpse in front of him.

The skin of the corpse had been scorched. Although the eyes were open, the eyeballs seemed to have been burned, leaving only two empty holes. When the wind blows, the scorched outer skin resembles the old wall skin, beginning to fall off one by one, revealing the soft flesh and bones inside, as well as the smell of burnt meat.

The young men carrying the stretcher couldn't help bending down and retching after putting down the corpses.

This smell...

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

Thinking that the taste of last night might be the burnt human flesh in front of him, Ye He's scalp was numb, and he felt that he must have no appetite for meat this year.

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

Ye He: "...I am standing on your left now."

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

He always feels that this corpse... looks familiar.

A discussion came from the crowd: "Who is this? My face is burnt and I can't see it."

"I found it 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 for trouble last night from the shape of the body and the other hand that was bent at an abnormal angle.

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

Someone glanced away unbearably, and turned to ask one of the young people who was carrying the stretcher: "Is George suicide or homicide?"

When he heard George's name, the young man who had finally finished retching suddenly showed his face and said with difficulty: "It's suicide. There is no trace of the second person in the house."

The person who asked the question answered: "It's weird, he is so afraid of fire, so he still chooses to burn to death..."

Another young man continued: "Yes, I used to smoke in front of him, and he was afraid of the sparks, and I was so stubborn that I was killed. I heard that I was scalded when I was a child."

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

George himself is from the town, so they all know each other.

Ye He also felt very strange when he heard the words of a few young people. Bob didn't have much guts. After hearing these words, he closed his eyes and covered his ears instead.

Ye He suddenly heard an inaudible sigh: "How come three people died all at once at the beginning of this month."

Hearing what the other party said, Ye He was shocked. Besides the uncle and George of Goddess Bob, there were people who died this month?

In any case, three people died at the beginning of a month, which is really strange. And 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 silent.

Just when Ye He felt a little strange, he didn't know who was around who first called the "Mayor" respectfully, and then everyone else turned their eyes to look over, calling out "Mayor" one after another.

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

The mayor is older than Ye He thought. He looks like he is fifty or sixty years old. His hair is gray, but his back is not rickety. He is still tall and straight. He walked over without expression, looking a bit serious.

Robert was his son at first glance, and he looked like a mayor who was dozens of years younger in his eyebrows and nose.

With the arrival of the mayor, the crowd that was still lively just now quieted down instantly, apparently a little afraid of him.

The mayor looked at the people gathered together, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing around here? I'm afraid that others won't notice? Spread out."

Before the people who had gathered together had time to react, the mayor walked directly through the crowd and walked to George's corpse.

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

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

Ye He frowned, feeling that things were not simple: "This mayor is weird."

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

The system suddenly became vigilant: [No reasoning. 】

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

Hearing the words of the system, Ye He knew that the other party was unwilling to share his reasoning process with him, so he sighed regretfully.

The mayor over there was instructing them to find a place to bury George, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the figure he least wanted to appear.

I don't know when, Anderse and his party came over.

Ye He also noticed Anderse's approach, and even noticed that most of the girls in the crowd had their eyes attached to Anderse.

Ye He felt a little complicated: "...Did anyone think of me that way?"

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 disappeared, and Bob quickly took Ye He to the side.

Although some girls were unwilling to leave, they noticed that the mayor's knife-cut eyes fell on them, and they could only leave first reluctantly.

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

Windsor and Lilian also noticed the sights cast by the girls. The two of them felt very calm. After all, Anderse did have an indescribable charm for women, and the two of them couldn't resist each other.

The mayor saw Anderse and his party, his expression flashed a bit, but when he saw a few people approaching, he quickly returned to normal. He stood in front of the corpse and looked at Anderse who was headed: "There is something bloody here. , There are girls behind you, it's better not to look too close."

Although Anderse in front of him is much younger than him, because the other party is employed by the city agency that manages the town, even if the mayor is unwilling, he has to use "you".

Andersewen said: "It's okay, we are just curious about what happened."

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

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

Before he finished speaking, several people behind Anderson had already passed the mayor and looked inside.

Several people are players. Except for one of the novice players and the uncle carrying the camera, who vomited when seeing the corpse, several others have experienced the dungeon more or less, so the reaction when seeing the corpse was not so great. .

The mayor's gaze paused for a few seconds on the uncle, but when he saw the other person's bowed waist and retching, he withdrew his gaze again.

Windsor slapped his tongue and said: "Anyone died again? I heard that this is the second or third death in the town this month? So did the other two commit suicide too?"

The mayor said blankly: "Who are you listening to the rumors? I have never left this town, and I never knew that there were other deaths in the town this month."

Seeing the mayor's determined expression on his face, Windsor's expression suddenly revealed a bit of embarrassment, without saying a word.

Seeing that Windsor was really speechless, Anderse stood up: "This is what we heard by chance on the side of the road before. It is far away, and it is possible to hear it wrong."

Hearing Anderson's words, Windsor quickly nodded in agreement, and the embarrassment just disappeared a bit: "Yes, that's right."

For that matter, the mayor still looked at a few people silently, but he said, "It turns out that it is. I have never heard anything like this before, so I heard Miss Windsor suddenly. It's a little weird to say it."

"If my attitude just scared Miss Windsor, I am sorry. But please forgive me. After all, any mayor will feel unhappy when someone says that there have been other unnecessary murders in his town."

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

The mayor’s face changed abruptly, and he almost subconsciously wanted to say "no", but Anderse said first: "Don't worry, we will not record it on the camera, just want to see where the accident happened."

"After all, our task is to shoot a promotional video for the small town. We need to know where the accident is, and then we can avoid it when we film it."

Mayor: "This..."

Anderse tilted his head slightly, and some hair fell on his forehead, casting a mottled shadow. There was a little more exploration in those amber pupils: "Or, you have something unspeakable, so I don’t want to Let's check it out?"

The mayor naturally also noticed Anderse's line of sight, and the other party had blocked his back path. He knew that if he didn't agree, it would make Anderse and his party more suspicious.

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

Although the mayor tried to hide, Anderse still heard 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 turned out to be Judith.

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

Thinking of Judith's mental problem, for the safety of the other party, he was ready to leave Judith here first, waiting for her mother to come and lead someone.

After a few seconds, Judith shook her head and said slowly, "No...no."

"Someone comes with me, she is here."

Although Judith spoke slowly, she spoke clearly.

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

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

The system is also a little puzzled: [No, but isn't Judith mentally problematic? It is probably her fantasy 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, and she nodded immediately, and even smiled on her face.

Ye He's heart was completely relieved, he understood that it should be the same as 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 she realized something, and said in a daze, "Huh, where's my friend?"

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

Seeing what Judith said was true, Ye He felt a little pity in his heart. He vaguely remembered Judith’s mother saying that because of her illness, no children would play with her, so loneliness must be Judith too. Diss will imagine the reason why a friend will be with her.

Ye He thought of an important question: "Does your mother know you ran out?"

Although Judith was slow to respond, she could understand these words: "No, I came out with a friend to find her father. Mom... Mom doesn't allow me to play with her, and she even scolds me, Sometimes it beats me..."

Hearing what Judith said, Ye He's face suddenly became serious: "She still beat 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 he still has this thing on his shoulders... ...."

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

The system did recognize the above: [This looks like a police badge in this world. 】

Ye He hesitated: "Aren't there no police in the town? Where did Judith see the police badge?"

The system is also a little puzzled.

Ye He had to look at Judith, point to the picture above and ask: "The painting is really beautiful, but it's a bit familiar. Did you paint according to what?"

Hearing Ye He complimenting herself, Judith smiled on her face and paused for a few seconds and said excitedly: "Yes... my friend pointed me to paint, and she also said that I painted beautifully. ."

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

system:【......】

Although he didn't understand Ye He's meaning, it didn't expect that this would turn out to be a problem that has plagued mankind for a long time.

Judith looked at the painting she drew, her eyes flushed suddenly, she began to wipe her tears, and she also tended to cry.

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

Why did Judith burst into tears? !

Judith sobbed and said, "You...can you find her father? She is my best friend and I want to help her."

Ye He just wanted to tell Judith not to cry first, so he nodded and handed over the tissues in his hands before he could hear the other party: "Of course you can. Don't cry for now."

As soon as his voice fell, a systematic voice rang in his ears: [Congratulations to the host for triggering a random task: complete Judith’s commission and find her friend’s father (not completed). 】

Ye He: "......"

Wait, what did he hear just now?

After the system repeated the task again, he knew that he had not misheard it.

Didn’t Judith’s friend imagine her?Where is he going to find a dad for the other party?
