"I have to say that you are in great spirits, Miss." Thales was pulled forward by Xi Lai and turned around a street. "But please, let's be realistic: there are only two of us, how can we chase you?"

"Let's go to a higher place first. The view will be better." Xi Lai shook his head solemnly, obviously unwilling to give up.

High place? Better view?

Thales' expression was subtle:

Well, what else can he do?

Soon, Heeley deftly squeezed through a group of shouting vendors, turned into a stone arch, and then came to the outside of a four-story house. He stepped on the outer ladder, climbed to the top floor, and carried the bag unceremoniously.

The hand knocked on the first door: bang bang bang!

"Who are you waiting for?"

As soon as Heeley heard the sound coming from the room, he shook his head and walked forward, knocking on the next door.

Thales' expression changed. He looked worriedly at the door that was knocked, and followed the girl anxiously: "What are you going to do?"

But Hilley ignored him and had no consciousness of affecting other people's lives. She just walked forward and knocked on doors, receiving responses from countless residents, both men and women:

"Stop knocking, the door is unlocked!"

"Oh, no, my husband must be back! Hide it in the closet!"

"Get out!"

"If it's the landlord, just say I'm not here! Say you'll pay the rent next week!"

"Is dad back? If so, mom said I can't open the door, and I can't tell you that she is playing games with Uncle Abby in the room!"

"Hulu~Hulu~Hulu~"

"Come on, come on, wait for me..."

"Stop knocking, I'm taking a shit! Oh, this one's getting old! Don't rush it!"

"Ah~ah~ah~ Honey, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, no, no, no, no! You can't! You can't come! Fuck! You useless coward! If it's thin, forget it, if it's short, forget it,

Forget it, it’s so damn fast! Your wife hasn’t arrived yet!”

"Grandma said that I can't open the door casually when she's not around! Because the water ghouls will come to catch the children!"

"Shit! It could be the security officer. Come on, you little brat, stop smoking and pour the stuff into the toilet..."

"Don't open the door, finish it first! I'm a pay-per-use service, so pulling it out will count twice!"

These miscellaneous responses from behind the door made Thales' expression change again and again, but Xilai ignored it and walked to the next room when he heard the sound from behind the door.

Thales was baffled:

"Xihuaiana, what are you doing? Who are you looking for?"

"No one." Hilley replied nonchalantly and knocked on the next door.

This time, there was no reply from behind the door.

Xi Lai's eyes lit up and she took half a step back. The next second, she lifted her skirt and kicked her legs, kicking open the door that was only tied with a rope without any burden.

Taylor was shocked.

What is this for?

"This is a short-term rental house in the Goddess District. It is close to the new suburbs. It is a relatively high-rise house nearby. Of course, it is illegally built, but the landlord has paid enough fines."

Hilley walked into this simple little room and motioned for Thales to close the door:

"The people who live here are basically workers from all walks of life and foreigners. During the celebration, they either have no money and can only entertain themselves at home, or they have to go to the streets to find work. They won't be back in a short time. Don't worry, we are only staying for a while, and we are not

If you use it for free, the homeowner will be very happy.”

Hilley took out a few copper coins and slapped them on the uneven table.

Faced with all this, Thales couldn't react. He was stunned:

"How did you know it wasn't you? How could you be so skilled?"

"My surname is Kevin Deere," Heeley held up her dusty skirt and pushed open a small door, discovering that there was a utility room inside. "This city belongs to us..."

"Thank you for your well-reasoned and convincing answer," Thales said sarcastically, "it reminds me that my surname is Canxing."

Thales was worried, carefully opened the window, stretched his head out with difficulty, and looked at the streets of Emerald City:

"Okay, we're at a high place. The view is really good. We can still vaguely see the barber shop, but basically we can't see clearly. How are we going to find Srimani? Hey, what are you doing?"

Thales turned around and saw Hilley squeezing into the utility room.

"Do something bloody," Heeley smiled mysteriously at him, "go change the menstrual cloth."

"At this point? Really?"

What answered him was a sharp slam of the door.

Thales blinked: What?

"Keep the door, no peeking!"

Miss Kevin Dill's voice came from the utility room:

"Or eavesdrop!"

"I thought we were here to do business!" Thales said angrily.

"Then do your business!"

Damn it, I knew she was unreliable...

Thales spread his hands in disbelief.

It's better to let Mallos take charge, even at the risk of letting Zhan know.

But okay, now I'm on my own.

Looking at the utility room again, Thales had no choice but to put his head in front of the extremely small window again and look towards the street.

Go up to high places.

High places...

After a few seconds, he sighed.

No, it's too far away and I can't see anything clearly.

And Hilley, that eldest lady is so unreliable.

Thales clenched his fists.

However, if he gave up here...he would never be able to find Slimani.

And if he can't find Slimani, who is responsible for defending the case, he still doesn't know why the wool merchant Diop was silenced, nor why the wine merchant Dagoli went to find the former, let alone how these things happened.

When it comes to the political struggle in Emerald City, I don’t know how many times Zhan En and Mi Ke have fought back and forth on this chessboard. They can only continue to be kept in the dark, and the blind man touches the elephant...

Let King Kessel take advantage of it.

Thales subconsciously held the bone ring in his pocket.

[Then you will always be a pawn, struggling to escape.] The voice in his heart said quietly.

The more Thales thought about it, the more irritated he became.

No, Thales, you have to calm down.

He pressed the window frame and shook his head to encourage himself: do the small things in front of you first.

Do whatever you can.

First of all, it was not long ago and Slimani must not have gone far.

He had to write down the surrounding road conditions first and tell Mallos when he went back.

His personal guard captain must be able to lay out a thorough plan, at least knowing where the clues were broken and where to pick them up to continue the investigation.

Thales took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and looked down at the criss-crossing streets, calling out the Sin of the Prison River.

The familiar feeling of hell is activated, making the distant images and sounds clear:

"A cluster of fireworks! A must-have for celebrations! The stall owner changed his career due to trouble. On the last day, he cleared out and sold it at a loss and sold it cheaply!"

"Damn it, your fireworks stall has been open here for ten years, and every day is the 'last day'!"

"Today is really the last day!"

After his vision and hearing were strengthened, Thales could clearly see a street intersection in the distance. As always, it was lively and bustling during the celebration.

"The Snowman Circus from faraway Allenbia, tickets for the east coast tour show are on sale! The exotic customs from the thorny land..."

"Brothers, "The Eye of the Ending Sea is Your Home", get ready to sing! La la la, hahaha, the Eye of the Ending Sea is your home, go back and sail to meet it! The ship is leaking, the sail is broken, the compass is broken, the reefs are full of whirlpools, and pirates are launching!

Pirates of the sea! Hahaha, la la la, the girl curses you for the mast to be broken, the waves to be high and the wind to be strong, the rudder to collapse! The emperor waved, the prince smiled, I hope you will accompany him! Accompany him! "

"Damn these bastard sailors from Warilland, you guys, come back and say: "Robbing a Camus", get ready and sing!"

"Rickshaw rickshaw! Two coppers in three blocks! Where to go? Talk!"
