"Are you sure the person is alive?" Gianvito asked.

"Only when people are alive can strange objects have an effect." Wu Heng explained.

The other people who came over also looked happy when they heard this explanation.

Since entering the city, the entire case has been obscure and difficult. It seems that the members of the association are investigating the case smoothly and no one from the local area intervenes, but it keeps going back and forth without any progress.

There seems to be a turning point today, as the family members of the murdered Whisperer have been found.

There may be some important clues.

"Don't delay, lest something goes wrong with this clue," Gianvito said.

This is because they are afraid of being found by others in advance and silenced in advance.

Wu Heng glanced at the pendant and said behind him: "A few of you will stay and guard here, Gianvito. The rest of you will follow me. Do you have a horse? Bring the horse over."

"Yes!" everyone responded, gaining some morale.

At this time, two horses were led over.

Wu Heng and the old mage got on their horses, flicked their whips, and ran in the direction pointed by the pendant.

The skeleton attendant also ran quickly and put some distance between them.

Further behind were the association members who were trotting behind.

A team was divided into three groups and ran wildly on the street.

Attracting everyone's attention along the way.

Residential area.

The association team entered aggressively.

Residents on both sides of the road left quickly, and half of the doors of open grain stores were closed.

From the gap, he looked at the team that suddenly broke in.

Huh~!

Wu Heng pulled the reins and the horse stopped quickly.

The old mage also stopped and stroked his gray beard to maintain his image.

Wu Heng pointed to the private house in front and said, "This is it."

The house is a two-story building made of brick, stone and wood.

After all, it is a port city, and the living conditions are much better in comparison.

"It seems that we are not very popular, right?" Gianvito looked around, "Where's your little ghost? Check the area to see if there is any danger."

Perceive letting go.

You can feel the sounds behind the doors of some houses, and the eyes looking through the gaps.

You can feel the slight clanking sound of the equipment, and you can feel the vigilance towards people like you.

"There is no danger. We have captured young men in the city before. It is normal to be wary of us. Don't worry about them." Wu Heng said directly.

While the two were talking.

Skeleton attendants and other association members also arrived one after another.

"Don't delay," Gianvito urged.

Wu Heng also gestured to the house in front of him, "Knock on the door."

A member of the association came forward and knocked on the door.

There were subtle footsteps inside, but there was no response.

"We are from the association and want to ask something."

It was still quiet inside.

"Break the door." Gianvito said directly.

Bang~!

The team member who knocked on the door kicked the door.

The door panel shook violently.

Bang~! The second foot landed, and the door instantly opened inward.

Inside a dimly lit house.

Three women and a child were holding each other, and some had their hands behind their backs as if they were holding some sort of weapon.

"What are you going to do? We are very united. If you dare to act recklessly, you won't be able to make it easy." A woman said forcefully.

"We are members of the association who came to the city to find someone." Someone explained.

"Looking for someone? We don't have what you are looking for here."

"Who has an association member at home?" a member of the team continued to ask.

No one in the house spoke.

Wu Heng glanced at the pendant in his hand and pointed at a woman hiding behind. She was less than 30 years old, with a black ash on her face, and her facial contours looked pretty good.

"You come with us to the association."

"No, no, I don't know anything." The woman dodged.

"We are from the association's headquarters. Not long ago, an informant of the association died while reporting the news. We got the news and came to investigate, and we happened to find you." Wu Heng looked at the other party and said calmly.

The woman's eyes were wandering, and after a while, she said, "Why should I trust you?"

"Go to the association. You will know our identities when we get there." Wu Heng continued.

The woman glanced at the people gathered outside and saw that she had no choice but to leave.

He nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

"Please!"

The woman nodded, picked up the package behind her, and walked out directly.

The rest all retreated.

Wu Heng took out a few silver coins from the space ring and handed them to the remaining people in the room, "Excuse me, take it to repair the door."

Put the silver coins in a pile on the side cabinet at the door and leave with the others.

When I returned, I wasn’t in such a hurry.

The group of people escorted the woman and returned directly to the association.

Inside the association building.

The elder ‘Tapani’ was sitting on the chair, but his face was extremely serious.

There was some progress today.

But I'm not sure what the final result will be and whether it will help the entire case.

"Elder, do you need to arrange for someone to go out to pick them up?"

Tapani glanced at the people in the room and said, "No need, we just stay here and wait for them."

"What if we don't have accurate information yet?"

Tapani glared at the person who asked the question, but still said: "If there are no clues yet, it will not be us who are worried, but the Kingdom of Yeke and the city of Netale. Will there be any results by then? The city lord Everyone needs to be replaced.”

"That's right, the one who is most worried now should be the city lord here."

"If he blocks us from entering the city and there are doubts in this case, he doesn't need to be the city lord anymore."

"It depends on Wu Heng and his team, whether they can get any results this time."

The crowd was discussing in a low voice, and footsteps were heard outside the door.

The door of the conference room opened, and Wu Heng and his men strode in with a woman.

...

Gianvito and Elder Tapani exchanged glances quickly.

The serious expression on Tapani's face also relaxed a little.

"Wu Heng, how is it?" Tapani asked directly.

Wu Heng said: "I learned a little on the way. The wife of the man who claimed to be the messenger of the secret whisperer had something wrong in the city. She didn't have time to leave the city, so she hid in the home of ordinary residents."

The elder nodded, looked at the woman in coarse linen, and asked: "What's your name?"

The woman dodged her eyes and stepped back.

Wu Heng said, "This is the elder of the association's headquarters. He is the strongest in the city. He will answer whatever you ask. You will not be in danger."

The woman bowed gently and said, "My name is Flora."

"Did your husband leave you any message before he left?"

"Yes!" The woman nodded.

Everyone in the room looked moved.

"What did he leave behind?" Tapani asked.

The woman took off her coat, opened a piece of clothing inside along the seam, and took out a bill from the Snake Emblem Consortium from the interlayer.

This kind of bill is more common in the Snake Emblem Consortium. They recognize the bill but not the person, which refers to this kind.

Wu Heng took it and checked it. There was no problem with the imprint and anti-counterfeiting on the bill.

He turned around and handed it to the 18th-level investigator next to him to check it again.

It was also confirmed that there was no problem.

Wu Heng continued to ask, "Besides this bill, what else did he tell you? What did he tell you?"

"This..." The woman fell silent, and then said, "I can't remember. The last thing I remember was that he told me to hide if I was in danger and wait for the people from the association headquarters to come here."

"What kind of person is he usually?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

The woman was stunned, and the others looked at him strangely.

Then, the woman began to sob softly, and talked about how the two of them knew each other and how responsible she was.

She talked for a long time.

Seeing that no answer could be asked, Wu Heng continued to ask, "Does anyone have anything else to ask?"

"No, arrange a dormitory for her and go to rest." Tapani said.

The woman was taken out of the room.

After the door was closed, Wu Heng looked at the priest, "Is it true?"

"It's hard to judge, there are only two sentences, and then crying." The priest said.

Tapani looked at her, "Do you suspect she has a problem?"

"I can't say for sure." Wu Heng continued, "I'll go to the local Snake Emblem Consortium to have a look. It was closed before. I don't know if I can still find the person."

"I'll go with you. Dean Janvito will stay here. If the information is useful, we can arrest the person directly." Tapani said as he stood up.
