49. Where did the daughter go?

After five days of riding on the train, Luo Er finally arrived at the Imperial Capital. Then he led the donkey and lined up at the exit of the station.

So many people?

Rohr looked at the endless queue, and then at the soldiers standing on both sides of the queue.

Each of them was fully armed, holding a matchlock gun and a brightly mounted bayonet. They looked like they were ready for battle. Their eyes swept over the passengers. If there was anyone carrying a weapon, they would go over and confiscate the weapon.

They actually want to confiscate weapons. Is the security in the imperial capital so strict?

Luo Er felt a little lucky. Fortunately, his left hand could hold things, otherwise it would have been a bit troublesome.

But this is also a good thing. Good security means it is safe here and my daughter can study and study with more peace of mind.

While waiting in line, he heard some comments coming from the queues in front and behind:

"Why is the investigation so strict now? It wasn't like this before?"

"I don't know, maybe something big happened?"

"I heard some rumors, saying it was related to the Scholars Association..."

"Shhh! Be careful what you say and don't make irresponsible remarks about the Scholars Association."

Luo Er looked puzzled when he heard this and followed the queue slowly. It took him more than an hour to get close to the exit.

Everyone is being registered here, and everyone is required to show their ID card. If they can't get it out or there is something wrong with it, they will be taken away by the soldiers next to them.

Luo Er is not worried about this. He got a legal identity card when he was in the Swordsmen Corps. He always obeys the law and obeys the law. He recently saved the town of Duoduo and he definitely imitated the good citizens.

As expected, he was not in trouble. Before leaving, the soldier in charge of registration kindly reminded him that there was a curfew in the city and he could not go out on the streets after ten o'clock in the evening. Furthermore, in many neighborhoods, he was not allowed to ride a donkey, so he was advised to find a place to store it, so as not to be in vain.

fine.

Rolle accepted this suggestion, found a hotel outside the station, and sent the little donkey to the stable.

The little donkey seemed to be reluctant to leave him. It stopped chewing carrots and bit his sleeve with its mouth, looking at him pitifully.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I will rent a house and pick you up in a few days."

"If another horse bullies you, remember to kick it. Girls must learn to protect themselves outside!"

Roll patted its head and comforted it.

He turned around and bought a newspaper from the newsstand outside. Then he went to the hotel and ordered a simple lunch. He read the newspaper while eating and listened to the discussion of the people here:

"When I was extremely angry, I dodged thirty bullets in a row and then disarmed him with one punch!"

"When a tiger pounces on you, you can disembowel it with a sliding shovel!"

"After five years of marriage, it's finally my turn..."

It's all meaningless information, and the newspapers are also full of singing and dancing, but it's not like the newspapers in the Furnace Castle, which have to talk about the Star Sword Princess almost every day, which makes him tired of reading.

Star Sword Princess and so on, in a big city like the Imperial Capital, she is just an inconspicuous little shrimp.

Luo Er laughed in his heart and got up to go out for a walk.

Just then, he heard someone say in a low voice:

"Tell me, when will this curfew end? The girls in 'Passion Paradise' almost miss me!"

"Hahaha, just you?"

"My uncle is at the police station. He said the curfew will not be lifted until the lunatic is caught."

Roll sat down again and listened carefully for a long time before he figured out what was going on here.

It turns out that a few days ago, the Tower of Truth of the Scholars Society was attacked by an unknown enemy, causing a big explosion, causing hundreds of casualties, and causing a commotion throughout the city, which triggered an investigation at the train station and the city.

curfew etc.

No way? Someone dares to attack the Scholars Association? Is it a hostile force from abroad?

Luo Er was slightly surprised.

As early as when he was in the Swordsman Corps, he knew how powerful the Scholars Association was. It could be said to be the birthplace of all extraordinary beings. It was also a state violence agency that managed extraordinary people. It was also a management organization for extraordinary power and knowledge. It was very powerful.

.

If he had passed the examination, he would have gone to the local branch of the Scholars Association to receive extraordinary enlightenment and become an extraordinary person.

It is normal for such a powerful and aloof power institution to be attacked and cause a big explosion, but the perpetrators have not yet been caught. It would cause tension in the imperial capital.

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with me. The gangster who can escape from the Scholars Association must be a very powerful transcendent. I will not get involved, although the high reward of the Scholars Association is very tempting...

Rohr muttered to himself, left the tavern, and planned to visit his daughter's place first.

He didn't plan to meet his daughter, he just took a look from a distance.

After that, I wouldn’t come every day, but would come over every three to five days to check on my daughter to make sure she was safe. Then at the end of each month, the father and daughter would spend two or three days together, thus achieving both letting go and caring, the best of both worlds.

To this end, he had to find a way to find a job and a place to live.

The address Keli left for him was located in the north of the city. There were a lot of schools there, including the Imperial First University, the Imperial Industrial University, and the Imperial Medical College.

Because Anya is here, Keli doesn't have to squeeze into the student dormitory, but lives in a double apartment off campus.

Roll took the map and asked all the way there. After struggling for more than three hours, he finally found the six-story apartment before dark.

But until night, the lights in room No. 233 where Keli lived were not on.

"Did you go to Anya's house?"

Luo Er heard Anya mention that Keli would occasionally go to her family's manor to stay for a day or two.

"Okay, let me settle myself first."

Roll then spent another day renting a room in a civilian area in the south of the city. It cost 800 east per month, which was a bit expensive, but it was hard to find a house with a stable, so he had to make do with what he had.

The landlord is an old man who is blind in one eye and very taciturn. I heard that he works as a janitor in a textile factory on the outskirts of the city.

After settling himself, Luo Er ran to his daughter twice more, but still couldn't see Kelly.

"What's going on with this little brat? Why don't you come back to the apartment every day? There must be something you're hiding from me, right?"

He muttered in confusion.

Just then, he saw an acquaintance coming out of the apartment building.

Rohr quickly followed him and patted him on the shoulder before he got into the car.

"Mr. Rohr, you...why are you here?"

The acquaintance, the housekeeper, asked with wide eyes and surprise.

"Shh! I'll sneak over and take a look."

Luo Er whispered and asked again:

"Where is my daughter? Why hasn't she returned to the apartment these days?"

I saw the character pictures everyone posted. They are all very good, especially the girl pictures!
