Things are getting more and more confusing here.
At first, Nada, like many people, thought it was the black wizard Vulture who was doing evil and casting spells to bring disaster to this oasis city.
However, following the investigation, the ancient family that originally founded Malazar Khan was implicated.
Then he discovered that the old household registration officer whom he admired had been involved seven months ago. He seemed to know something, but he was unwilling to reveal it.
But now things have reversed again, and all the fingertips are pointed at the number two figure in the city. During this period, he has been actively exploring solutions to the disaster, fighting against the vultures that are doing whatever they want, and the Asians who have high hopes for the residents of Malazar Khan. On Zdan.
The female shopkeeper was stunned for a while, then Lu Jing asked again, "You said earlier that there was a little girl in that family. Where is the little girl now?"
Kafu waited for Nada to translate and then said, "It was lost, and it was lost before her father died."
"Lost?" Nada felt a little hard to understand.
The total population of Malazar Khan was only 30,000 before, but now it is less than 20,000. In addition, it is a desert oasis, making it difficult to contact the outside world. Therefore, there are no human traffickers in the city, and it is rare to hear of anyone missing.
"How old is the child and when was he lost?"
"About twelve or thirteen years old. As for when he got lost, I don't know." Kraft said.
"Because her father never reported it to the police, it was not until last week that a neighbor saw him drunk at the door of his house. When they sent him into the house, they found that no one was at home. When asked, he said that his daughter had been lost. "
"This is so irresponsible." Nada said dissatisfied.
"I don't know, this is what drunkards are like." Kafu said, "I have told you everything I know. Please save Malazar Khan and the people in this city. I I'm still young and don't want to die, and besides..."
Kraft looked around again, "This matter involves people in the city lord's palace. You'd better not tell others that I told you, especially don't let my teacher know, otherwise I will lose my current job." .”
Nada nodded and asked Kraft for the address of the alcoholic's home and the name of his daughter. She saw the young assistant leaving in a hurry before it got completely dark.
Lu Jing and Nada then went around the drunkard's residence, but found nothing except a variety of fine wines.
Even the money he had received before was gone, and it was obvious that someone else had been here before the two arrived.
So the female shopkeeper said to Lu Jing, "Maybe we should go directly to Yazdan for a showdown."
"How to show off?" Lu Jing asked.
"I asked him face to face if he killed the drunkard and if the little girl was also taken away by his people?"
"We don't have any substantial evidence. What if he doesn't admit it?" Lu Jing asked again.
"Then...then let's tell others about the good things he did, and let everyone in the city know that this disaster is related to him." Nada said angrily.
"Although I am also suspicious of him, we are still not sure whether the current sandstorm is caused by him, and how much it has to do with him." Lu Jing shook his head.
Two years ago, he might have agreed with the female shopkeeper's approach, and even sneaked into the palace as early as the first night to find a way to question the vulture.
But now Lu Jing has indeed become much calmer and more mature. Zhang Sanfeng taught him to read more and speak less, and not to make too hasty judgments before things are fully understood, even if some answers seem "obvious".
For this reason, Zhang Sanfeng also told him a story, saying that not long after he became an escort, he once went out to escort a bodyguard with a sly look. It is said that the bodyguard before he started this career was doing Snitch's.
As a result, halfway through, another courier who was traveling with him lost his wallet, so many people thought that the courier who had been a snitch before had stolen it, and even forced the courier to hand over the purse. Forced, he hanged himself that night.
The scammer who lost the money finally couldn't bear the pressure and admitted that he had secretly gone to the gambling shop to gamble the money away the night before. He was worried that he would not be able to explain it to his mother-in-law when he got home, so he lied and claimed that he had lost it. Unexpectedly, one person was killed.
He had wanted to speak up several times before to clear up the grievances of the other thieves, but he had backed down several times.
This incident left a deep impression on Zhang Sanfeng, and he blamed himself for this for a long time, saying that he did not stop it immediately and wanted Lu Jing to learn from it.
Of course, Lu Jing did not touch Vulture and Yazdan, but he was not afraid of wrongly accusing good people.
Especially Vulture, this guy is obviously not a good person, he just doesn't want to alert others.
In addition, there are lessons learned from the previous wedding dress. When you don’t know what the mystery is that caused the disaster, it is not a good choice to take action rashly.
For Lu Jing now, killing is easy, and even if he is misunderstood by the entire Malazarhan residents later, he can just throw a note into the well and pat his butt and leave.
But if the disaster is not resolved after killing people, the residents of the city will still not be able to survive.
"What should we do next?" Nada asked, "Look for the lost little girl?"
"You can't find her."
"Why, because Yazdan's people have captured her?"
"Yazdan's people probably couldn't find her. After all, her alcoholic father was still alive and well when she was lost. There was no reason for Yazdan to touch a little girl like her first.
"And judging from his father's appearance, he didn't seem worried at all. Personally, I still tend to think that she ran away on her own, and most likely she sensed the danger in advance and persuaded her father to go with her, but her father didn't listen. She should She is a very smart little girl, but..."
Lu Jing paused, "But the bad news is that Yazdan didn't find her, and we probably won't find her either."
"Ah, so what should we do?"
"That little girl...if she is really as smart as I think, she will come to us." Lu Jingdao, "Because hiding like this is not an option, and she will not wait until Malazar Khan is destroyed." A dead end.
"So her goal and ours are actually the same. If she really wants to stop Yazdan or someone else, she needs to use outside power, and what we have to do is prove that we are a force she can rely on.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Yazdan for helping me build momentum and making me the hero and new hope of Malazar Khan. Otherwise, things might not be so simple."
Lu Jingdao, "Then we just need to let her know that we are not in the same group as Yazdan."
