Soul Echo

After leaving the lord's manor, Zhong Ye and the others moved separately.

Lily has been educated by the royal family and has a good grasp of etiquette and proportion, so she chooses to inquire about the situation with nobles and businessmen; Lilyan wanted to learn from Zhong Ye to find trouble with gang members, but unfortunately she was caught by Zhong Ye. Ye drove her to inquire about the townspeople in the name of her underage, while he himself went to contact the gangs and the thieves' guild.

Although Lilian has enough strength, she still has little experience and is too young. If she were to deal with those gangsters, she might be deceived into giving out a lot of information.

Zhong Ye made a few random inquiries on the street, and with no difficulty got the local gang station.

Schwenningen is a small town. Although there are gangs in this place, they are only three or two of any cat or dog. Normally, they do things like limit the dog and steal chicken, and even protect them. They didn't dare to collect fees, saying they were a gang but flattering them.

The place where they usually meet is an abandoned warehouse. Zhong Ye went straight to the door and happened to bump into a few gang members.

The warehouse door is locked, but there are voices coming from inside.

Zhong Ye walked a few steps and found a hole on the side near the top, presumably those people climbed in through this hole.

He made a gesture of his body shape, and found that with his current physique, he couldn't successfully climb in through that hole.

With a sigh, Zhong Ye walked towards the door and kicked the door.

Just the right amount of force to snap the latch, not the panel to shatter and the door to snap open.

The kicked-open door slammed into the walls on both sides, making a loud noise, startling several people in the abandoned warehouse.

They turned their heads and looked over, but they met Zhong Ye.

Seeing that the edge of the bright black eyes glowed a little, the heartbeat of several people suddenly intensified - just this time, several people in the warehouse fell into fear.

One person reacted quickly and turned around and wanted to run away.

—duh!

A straight knife flew to the ground between his legs, tripping him to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to ask you some questions." Zhong Ye walked over to several people slowly, every step he took was like a blow to their hearts.

You don't seem to have the attitude of asking people questions...

Although I think so, but a few people in the warehouse dare not say this sentence.

Turn his head and glanced at the door panel embedded in the wall, Zhong Ye said with a smile: "This is just a small measure to avoid you not answering the question, I hope you will not mind."

>

The corners of several people's mouths twitched, barely holding up a smile.

As Zhong Ye approached, those people could only keep raising their heads so that they could see his eyes.

Zhong Ye walked to the place where the blue bird fell, pulled out the straight knife, patted the dirt on it, and put it back into the scabbard.

Besides is a wooden box, Zhong Ye inflated his lungs, blew away the dust accumulated on the wooden box in one breath, and sat on it, the wooden box creaked and almost collapsed.

Zhong Ye became shorter after sitting down, and the necks of several people could finally not be so tired.

"I heard that you are the only gang in Schwenningen?"

Hearing this, several people shook their heads like a rattle, denying: "No no no, we're not."

"We're just a bunch of thieves, we can't be called a gang at all."

"There's no way in this world who steals things to support themselves Gang!"

Several people laughed, and you denied your identity as a 'gang member'.

Obviously before that, when they declared to the public, they were proud of their status as 'gang members'.

"It doesn't matter if you are a gang or not, I just want to get some news from you." Zhong Ye shook the head and smiled, which also made the few people standing opposite him breathless. .

He looked at them and said seriously: "You guys should be well informed. I want to know if you know the inside story of those disappearances."

tone barely fell , Those people quickly shook their heads, "no no no, we don't know, we don't know..."

"Duplicitous!" Zhong Ye's face sank, "You are lying!"

The powerful perception ability allowed him to discover various abnormal physiological reactions in those people, and according to his previous observations, these physiological reactions will only appear when a person is lying.

The suddenly accelerated heartbeat was because of fear, but Zhong Ye was sure that they were not afraid of him.

He had long since stopped terrorizing them, which meant that there was something to fear in them in that sentence he mentioned.

——These people must know something!

Hearing Zhong Ye's scolding, the faces of several people became extremely distressed.

On one side is a secret that can't be told, and on the other side is a sturdy guy who can kick the solid wood latch off with one foot, and they don't want to offend either side.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, struggling inside.

"Look over there." Just when several people were tangled, Zhong Ye suddenly spoke, attracting their attention.

They looked in the direction of his fingers and saw a door panel embedded in the wall.

Zhong Ye just pointed and said nothing, but his face was cold.

From the top of the door, several people seemed to really see something, and couldn't help swallowing.

But the thing behind that incident seemed to give them a lot of fear, and after a moment of silence, one of them said awkwardly: "We...know some things..."

Zhong Ye rolled his eyes and looked towards him without speaking.

"Those people...should all be dead." The man was hesitant to speak, his eyes flickering.

Others didn't look surprised at all, indicating that they already knew about it.

Here comes the point...

Zhong Ye solemnly asked: "Who killed them?"

"...I don't know." The man pursed his lips ,shook the head, "It's someone from outside the town."

Oh, an outsider? Isn't that interesting?

"Did you see those people killed?" Zhong Ye asked again.

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads, "We didn't see it, we only saw it once... That time Warren wanted to board the ship, but before he got close to the ship, he was caught by someone. It was found, and then he was taken on the boat and never showed up again."

"The boat?"

Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows, "referring to the lord's family. Is that a big ship?"

The person who spoke before was obediently nodded, "Warren has said more than once that he would also be a crew member of that ship, but the Lord Lord stipulated that only adults can be crew members, At that time, he was not an adult, but his family was short of money, so he wanted to hide after boarding the ship, and wait until after the ship sailed to reappear..." When he said these words, the man's face appeared Out of a bit of sadness, the others also lowered their eyes in silence.

At this time, Zhong Ye noticed that several people gathered in this abandoned warehouse seemed to be of the same age.

Not surprisingly, they should have known the missing person called 'Warren'.

So, they will know 'Warren' plan and why he disappeared.

Zhong Ye rubbed his fingertips with each other and continued to ask, "Apart from this? What else do you know?"

Seeing them shaking their heads, Zhong Ye thought for a while, Changed the way of inquiry: "It doesn't have to be related to those missing, it can be related to the big ship, for example, the 'outsider' on the big ship - how do you know that it is someone from outside the town?"

"We all know the people in the town. That person jumped directly from the boat to Warren's side. There is no such person in the town."

Hearing this answer, Zhong Ye eyes slightly narrowed, "So, other than that one time, have you seen any outsiders board that big ship?"

"No."

"No. "

"...I've seen it."

A different answer made everyone turn their attention, and even a few others were surprised and looked at My companion, it's like knowing him on the first day.

The man who gave a different answer was a thin man. He swallowed and shrank his neck involuntarily, "I have really seen..."

"Kelvin , didn't we agree not to intervene in this matter again?" The person who had talked to Zhong Ye before widened his eyes and couldn't help but scold.

"I didn't mean to..." Kelvin grimaced, "I, I just went to steal something and saw a group of people walking past the town..."

Zhong Ye took a deep breath, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and stood up from the wooden box.

"They boarded that ship?"

Kelvin gave him a wincing look, "shook the head," "I just saw them walking towards the pier. ..."

"Enough."

Speaking, Zhong Ye took out a few gold coins and distributed them to them one after another.

Facing their unbelievable eyes, he laughed, "Let's do something serious in the future, and stop stealing."

With that, he turned around and walked out of the abandoned warehouse.

Feeling the sunlight falling on her body again, Zhong Ye narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air.

The aura circulating in the body seemed to have faded away, breaking through the shackles, and suddenly became smooth and refreshing.
