From what he observed, Sissi was tortured a lot before she died, and he turned over the corpse and found that there were many shallow knife wounds on the corpse, which were not fatal, but the pain caused was enough to break down a pampered young lady.Julian couldn't help frowning, that Anthony had a good calculation, Miss Sissi is also well-known in Munch City, if she suddenly disappears, it is difficult for others to say, but Bill will definitely track it down to the end, there are still a few little nobles like Bill who are addicted to her, if they join forces to investigate, maybe they can really find out something.But if Miss Sissi decides to marry and leave here, such a reason is enough to deal with those men who love her, after all, Sissi's attitude towards men has always been straightforward, and if she really decides to marry someone else, they may be sad, but they can accept it, just like Bill.When the time comes, it would be better if no one tracked him down, and if Anthony was asked, he could also make up a story about Miss Sissi's death at the hands of thieves, and no one would suspect him if there was no proof of his death.Return to Munch City.Julian frowned, wrapped Sissi's body into the space, and turned on his horse.Parry and Roger hurriedly followed, and not long after the group left the city, they returned to Munch City.Julian wasn't going to tell Bill about it, he had already grieved for Sissi once, and there was no need to do it a second time.There was no one left in Sissi's house, and apart from a few old servants, there were no relatives.Since the old servant said that Sissi was married, and had obviously been bought by Anthony, there was no point in going to him again.Julian came to the church, walked directly through the church and into the backyard, and the extremely priests he met on the way greeted him kindly, as a close friend of the great knight Owen, he didn't need to be notified when he came to Owen.How did you get back?
Owen knew that Julian would be returning to the territory today, and was a little surprised to see him return.Julian got Sissi's body out and told him about it, and Owen couldn't help but frown.What do you want to do?
Owen didn't say anything about mentioning Sissi's revenge, but only asked Julian what he meant.Julian also thought carefully about what he could do, and finally came to the conclusion that he could not do anything.After all, everyone knows that Sissi and Anthony are very close, and now that Sissi is dead, there is no direct evidence in his hand to prove that this matter is related to Anthony.Moreover, with his relationship with Sissi, it is not his turn to seek justice for her.Therefore, the main reason for his return this time is to remind Owen to pay attention to this Anthony, and he has a gut feeling that this matter will not end like this.The two exchanged some ideas, and the matter was put aside for the time being, and when Julian went out, Owen sent him to the door of the church, and when he passed by the church, he happened to see a few civilian women crying silently, they knelt down in front of the statue of the goddess reverently, and said something in their mouths, and Julian listened to it when he passed by, and then couldn't help but stop.What's wrong?
Owen asked.Julian's brow was almost knotted, and he walked up to the women and asked softly, "Excuse me, are any of you missing from your family?"
The women obviously didn't know them, but they could see from their clothes that these two people were by no means something they could offend, and they were a little panicked.Don't be nervousJulian softly advised: I was just passing by and heard you praying to the goddess that she would help you find the child.Is that so?
Julian's deliberately soft voice comforted the frightened women very well, and the fact that he was now a delicate teenager in appearance, about the same age as the children, made them unconsciously relax.The woman at the head looked to be forty or fifty years old, and the wrinkles on her face were full of the vicissitudes of life, and Julian knew that her actual age must not be so old, but the life of the commoners was too difficult, and the hard work of the years made them look much older than their actual age.The woman nervously grabbed her apron and said in a sad tone: Yes, my lord, our child is missing As she spoke, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry.The other women were affected by her, and they also remembered their missing children, and they couldn't help but cry one by one.Julian was a little at a loss and looked at Owen nervously.It was also the first time that Owen had seen Julian show such a helpless expression, and he was amused in his heart, but his face did not leak a single bit.He looked at these women with sharp eyes, and said lightly: Don't cry yet, you are all believers in the goddess, and the brilliance of the goddess will bless you, I dare not guarantee that you will be able to get your children back, but I promise that you will definitely get a result.The promise made by one of the Holy Knights was obviously very powerful to the civilians, and they wiped away their tears and looked at Owen quietly.Owen didn't say that he would help them find their children, because everyone knows that in this era, disappearance basically means death, and even if you are lucky enough not to die, it is very likely that someone has been abducted and it is almost impossible to find it.One result of Owen's promise meant that he would deal with the matter, and whether people could come back or not, they would never be left alive or dead.These women are obviously also mentally prepared, after all, such things also happen from time to time in the lives of civilians, but they are unlucky, this time it happened to them.Okay, tell me how your children went missing?
Are there any connections between them?
Julian clapped his hands, drawing the women's attention.With Owen's endorsement, these women also trusted Julian, and slowly told them what they had experienced.Julian noticed that the missing children were male and female, ranging in age from 12 to 18, and that each of them was above the norm.The earliest of them disappeared about half a month ago, and the latest was four days ago.The woman's son was one of the first to go missing, and she first came to church to pray, and then slowly met several other praying mothers, and learned that many of her good-looking children were missing.Julian narrowed his eyes slightly, if he remembered correctly, that Anthony seemed to have come more than half a month ago, if these things were related to him, then he was shocked, and whispered to Owen: I need to go out of the city.Owen looked at him puzzled.Julian explained in a low voice: "I suspect that the place where I am afraid I found the body may be someone's abandoned body, and I will go back and look for it, maybe there will be other discoveries."
Owen nodded, saying that he would leave it to himself, and then called Julian, who was about to leave, and asked Kay and Evans to go with a few knights.Stay safe.He said to Julian.Owen Diary: I really don't understand what that Anthony is thinking, isn't it good to live?
Why are you doing things on my turf?
Yes, I don't have proof, but the question is, do I need proof for such an obvious thing?
Julian looked a little angry, and although I didn't think he should be angry for something unrelated, I knew he was kind, and it was because he was so kind that I liked him so much.Since Julian intends to do justice, I am his strongest backing.I don't care about justice, but I care about Julian※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※_(:з"∠ Ahem, can I delay another day, and not long after, Julian returned with Kay and the others, and with them were several mutilated corpses.The corpses were mutilated by wild beasts and could not be identified, but the women were able to identify their children almost at a glance.Of the six missing people, only three were recovered, three women were crying as they held the bodies, and the faces of the other missing women were both happy and uneasy.A very thin-looking, pale woman endured the grief in her heart: My lord, looking at her eager gaze, Julian shook his head slightly: Sorry, that's all we found.The woman's lips kept chattering, and she muttered blankly: Didn't find it?
Fortunately, Julian sighed in his heart, he knew that this woman meant that there was still hope of living until she was found, but he was not optimistic about this.Judging from the traces left on those corpses, it is clear that the murderer has a strong sadomasochism, and even if those people are not dead, they must not be happy.And what puzzled Julian was that the bodies he found were in a strange order, the first, third, and six missing people.While it is not ruled out that the bodies of several others were eaten by the beast, Julian's intuition was not like this.What are you going to do about it?
Julian was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to do with it, in terms of evidence, he didn't have anything, but he couldn't do it if he had done nothing.Don't worry, I'll leave it to me.Owen originally wanted to touch his head, but realized that there were other people around, so he reluctantly changed it to a pat on the shoulder.Julian shook his head: I caused the incident, and I can't dump it at you.He looked at the women who were already numb from crying, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: The missing people are all beautiful, right, I remember that Anthony seemed to be very interested in me at the banquet, how about we go fishing for law enforcement?
Not so good!
Owen grinded his teeth and warned: Don't even think about this kind of thing!
I will never put you in such danger.Julian: Well, he almost forgot how Owen, a control freak, could allow himself to venture alone.In fact, I'm also very strong now, it shouldn't be that Julian is not so reckless, and he himself is also very desperate, but this time he is really confident, so he made such a request.No way!
Owen unceremoniously rejected him: This matter will be left to me, I can investigate it slowly, or I can dump the matter on that pervert, anyway, Anthony likes beautiful people, here, as long as he doesn't compare with you, he can barely be considered beautiful.Julian couldn't help but blush a little, he knew he was good-looking, but he was really a little worse than Ulysses.Owen said that he was prettier than Ulysses, and that was completely out of his lover's eye, and of course he ate this too→.
→ Ahem, it's not good to casually involve people in this kind of thing, right?
Julian coughed dryly.It doesn't matter, anyway, that pervert has been idle lately and is about to grow hair, and Kay is going to walk around now when he sees him, so it's just right to find him something to do.Well, Julian happily agreed.He may also have to think about pit others, pit a person from the Inquisition, he has no pressure at all.Anyway, that guy's strength is also very strong, and he really doesn't worry about what danger Anthony can cause him.In this way, at Owen's insistence, Julian threw the pot to Ulysses, who didn't know it, of course, this matter still needs Owen to operate, with Ulysses's character, if Owen told him the matter directly, he would definitely be too lazy to do it.After saying goodbye to Owen, Julian planned to return to the territory, but before he left the city gate, he met Anthony again by coincidence, and this time, the other party also saw him and smiled at him.Julian frowned unconsciously, but remembering Owen's prompt to avoid startling the snake, he still forced a smile at him.Anthony's eyes flashed with amazement, he had also seen all kinds of beauties in the royal capital, and there were really not many who could compare with Julian in appearance, not to mention Julian's gentle and spring-like temperament, which was very unforgettable.Baron Julian, are you going to return to the realm so soon?
Anthony asked politely.Yes, there are still some things in my territory that I need to go back to.Julian replied.Ah, that's a shame Anthony's eyes flashed a dark light: I'm leaving here for the next city soon, and it's a shame that I can't have a drink with you.Julian paused slightly: Leave?
Oh, yes.Anthony smiled softly: I made an appointment with Sissi to have a wedding as soon as possible, she has already gone to the royal capital, but I still need to go to another city to do some business before I can go back.So I want to get things done as soon as possible so I can go back to her.His eyes were full of affection, and it seemed that mentioning the woman who had made him fall in love would make him feel happy.A flash of suspicion flashed in Juli's head, could he have guessed wrong?
Sissi really didn't kill him?
But he quickly dispelled the idea, if Sissi was really okay, he didn't believe she would leave so quietly.With that girl's ambition, she will definitely maximize her interests, even if she wants to marry Anthony, she will definitely meet with those men who were issued by her good person card/brother card/family card, and be sure that after she leaves, these people will not forget her and ensure her way out.So sure enough, this guy in front of him is the most suspicious!
His mind was racing, and his face was not leaking: this guy was about to leave, and Owen had to go through some twists and turns to arouse Ulysses' interest, and he couldn't let him run away like this.Although he behaved very normally, Julian just felt that this man was about to do something, most likely to his own detriment.Ah, that's a shame you're leaving so soon, and I think a lot of the ladies in Munch City will be looking forward to your staying.Anthony smiled and shook his head: yes, I also think it's a pity, there are so many wonderful people in Munch City that I haven't had a chance to meet, I hope I will have a chance next time.Julian glanced at him, feeling that his pause was a little abrupt, as if he had wanted to say something, but changed it temporarily.For a while, he couldn't think of any way to find out his flaws, but he didn't expect Anthony to suddenly send him an invitation: Mr.
Julian, when I came out of the royal capital, I heard a lot of news about you, I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to my residence for an exchange?
He smiled embarrassedly, I'm very curious about magicians, can you tell me about that mysterious space that only magicians can open?
Julian thought for a while before he realized that the so-called mysterious space was the unique labyrinth they entered when they were competing for the title.What happened in the labyrinth was not a good memory for him, and if he hadn't been lucky, he would have died there, and the things that the old duke had done were simply disgusting.His heart moved slightly, and the gaze that looked at Anthony suddenly changed, the other party's invitation was just a chance to give him a chance to fish, and it would be great if he could settle the matter before he left.In this case, he looked directly into Anthony's eyes and slowly curled the corners of his lips: Then I will disturb.How come, it's my pleasure!
Anthony's eyes lit up at once, and there was a mood called greed.Julian and he looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them stood together as if they were a couple, but neither knew what was going on in their hearts.Not far away, Owen, who was secretly chasing him out and wanted to send him away, stood in the corner of the wall expressionlessly, looking at the scene in front of him, and crushed a wall brick
