Because the worst result is that his daughter has become a sacrifice, which means: the person is dead. If it is as he thought, then whether it is the sadness of the man in front of him, or the promotion ceremony of the Eidolon Lord
Furthermore, neither of these two things would make him happy.
Thinking of this, Karl continued to ask questions.
"May I ask when your daughter disappeared?"
Richard sat on the high-back sofa, first looked at Olivia's questioning eyes, and seemed confused about Karl raising this question.
He felt that a person with extraordinary power like Karl should be able to detect such details, and then he said: "Just last night, my daughter disappeared after nine o'clock last night and before seven o'clock this morning.
"
As he spoke, he asked the maid to add a glass of water to the tea cup, and then continued.
"Originally, I wanted to ask the great detective to help me find the whereabouts of my daughter, but after asking Miss Olivia today, I found out that the gentleman was missing again."
"Then is it possible that your daughter has..."
Karl had to give him a vaccination. After all, it was not as simple as a lost pet at home. If his daughter was really unfortunately killed, it would be good to be mentally prepared.
Hearing Karl's words, Richard sighed.
Then he started to lower his head and stare at the tea cup on the small round table in front of him, as if there was something worthy of his attention in it, and became silent.
Seeing his appearance, Karl immediately turned to Olivia for help. He didn't want to continue to make this gentleman unhappy.
"Mr. Richard's daughter is called Xibel. She is a 17-year-old girl with blond hair and black eyes. She has a cute appearance and likes pink clothes. As for the place of disappearance, it is in this hotel."
Seeing Karl's eyes asking for help, Olivia immediately told him this information.
"The hotel has very tight security measures, and because this place has close ties with the royal family, there are even inquisitors patrolling here."
After Olivia introduced this, the narrative was interrupted by Richard who raised his head again.
He waved his hand, then looked at Karl's face and said: "From last night to now, the guards and the judges have not noticed that my daughter left here. I called you here in the hope that you can help me investigate."
As he said that, he pointed to the butler who opened the door for Karl and the others just now: "Marcus will accompany you. Within three hours, you will have no problem here before the banquet is over."
After giving the instructions, Richard stood up, left a photo on the table, and then walked together with Olivia.
"Now I'm going to host the banquet. I hope you can give me a satisfactory result tonight."
After the two left the room, only the maid who was packing the tea sets and the butler standing with a smile were left. Karl went to pick up the photo first, which showed a little girl in a skirt. Just as Olivia said,
Quite cute.
After confirming the appearance of this young lady, Karl looked at the leader named Marcus, thought for a moment and said.
"Then take us to the room where the lady disappeared last night, okay?"
"As you wish, sir."
As he spoke, Marcus pulled to the other side of the room and opened a door, then extended his hand to invite him with a smile: "Please come this way."
After looking at Cyril, the two of them walked over together.
Under the leadership of Marcus, they took the elevator to a room on the fourth floor of the hotel. It seemed that this was the place where the young lady was previously under house arrest.
The main color of this room is very girly pink, and the spacious room is filled with cute dolls. It can be seen that the owner of the room is very willing to decorate his residence.
"You ladies usually live here?"
Karl asked casually as he headed to the window of this room.
"No, this is just a temporary stay for the lady."
Marcus, who was following behind, answered his question immediately.
"Then why is this place dressed like this? Who lived here before?"
"This room was originally just an ordinary guest room. Because the master came here for business, the young lady stayed temporarily. And this decoration was done a week before the young lady came here."
It's really luxurious, and the house is decorated like this just for a temporary stay of a few days.
From Karl's point of view, it would take a middle class person several years' salary to buy these things, and they would only use them for a few days before throwing them away.
While Karl was sighing, Marcus continued to answer his questions.
"As for the people who lived here before, if you want to know, you can check at the front desk. There should be records there."
"No."
Carl simply gave up on checking the housing records. If he had decorated the room a week before he arrived, it would definitely be uninhabitable. The possibility of someone planning it in advance was too small. The question now is whether the young lady ran away on her own or was temporarily kidnapped.
.
Standing by the window, Karl looked at the window edge carefully. The window was locked and there seemed to be no trace of movement.
"Our people have checked before, and there are no signs of violent opening of the door or window." Standing aside, Marcus also immediately made an introduction.
"Celile, come here and take a look."
Since the previous people didn't find anything, I guess it won't be much better if I go there myself, so I'd better just let Seliel take a look.
Under Karl's instruction, Seliel immediately came over and put her hand on the window sill, and carefully fumbled around the frame, and then she frowned and said.
"This window has only been opened this morning in three days, but not before seven o'clock. The time doesn't match."
"That was opened when the hotel security guard discovered that the lady was missing and opened the window to check."
Marcus replied immediately.
It seems that no one climbed through the window, so check the room again.
Thinking like this, Karl said: "Celile, go and see if the lock on the door has been opened by force. I will check the things in the house."
"no problem."
After saying that, Cyril went over to check the door, while Karl began to look at the room.
After more than ten minutes of trying, Karl confirmed that he did not have any great detective talent. From his perspective, everything in the room seemed to be normal and there were no clues.
Cyril also confirmed the condition of the door: it was intact and there was no sign of any violence in opening it.
