The red moon returns

Chapter 327 Wilson Town
Lin Qi was not so arrogant that two people were singled out for an incident related to an Advent-level rare object. He was just trying to understand the situation based on clues. The large number of people would be too ostentatious.

Therefore, he just went to Miss Valente's house to borrow Karina's makeup. The girl left early and returned late every day in order to find out the news about the royal capital. She was not at home at this time, but she still left a few rare items behind. At home, for family members to use temporarily.

Um? What does family mean?
Although seeing Lynch bring another girl to his door the next day, Mr. Louis might have gone to the warehouse to look for shells for coastal defense artillery, but in the end he still handed the rare item to Lynch, and by the way, he also got a free gun. Coat of arms of a carriage and two horses.

This is too generous, and what do you mean by secretly saying that you cannot let the eldest lady be compared? I think you have some misunderstanding.

And what's the use of lending us a carriage? We don't know how to drive it.

meeting.

Officer Natalie lowered the brim of her hat and acted like a real coachman, while Lynch, who had put on makeup, looked a little more mature, probably in his thirties or forties. The two of them rushed out of the city with their new images. The east gate.

Target, Wilson Township.

Wilson Town is a small town affiliated with Rhine City. It is not too big, with a population of more than 200. It mainly raises beef cattle. A quarter of Rhine City's daily beef consumption comes from this small town.

It is considered one of the important towns in the Rhineland.

It is more than an hour's drive from the East Gate of the Rhine. It can be reached along the country road. It is very smooth. Just after two o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them had already seen the entrance sign of Wilson Town.

Two bull heads stuck on top of stone pillars.

Forget it, let them be happy.

After entering the town, I realized that the town is not small in terms of area, and each house has a large space. After all, breeding also requires space, so there are only a few streets in the whole town, and it takes a long way to see a house. , only the town center is still slightly lively.

There is a clock tower more than ten meters high in the middle of the town, which makes the clicking sound of gear friction all year round. The town government and commercial facilities are built around the clock tower, forming the center of the town.

Luckily, today seems to be a holiday. As soon as the two of them approached the center of the town, they found many people gathered in the square under the bell tower, and the noise could be heard far away.

There was a man standing on the platform on the top of the bell tower, waving his arms and talking to the people below.

It seemed like there was something going on in the town.

Natalie's coachman turned around, and the two looked at each other, both feeling a little happy.

This was just enough to get some information, although she didn't know what she wanted to know.

"I know you have difficulties, so you don't need to explain to me. I'll follow you and you can tell me what to do." The police officer suddenly squinted her eyes with a look of disdain. "If you don't do well, I'll try again when I get back." Laughing at you detective."

What else can be said? Lynch spread his hands in the carriage: "Do you think I will give you this opportunity? Hehe, then go over and see what they are doing."

It was indeed quite lively. As we got closer, the noise got louder, and we could clearly distinguish the faces of the people in the square. They were a group of farmers wearing coarse cloth coats. There were also a few formal gentlemen standing in the front row, neatly dressed, all looking up. Looking up at the bell tower, as for the person speaking on the bell tower...

Suddenly he jumped off the bell tower and fell directly to his death in the square.

"...I won't forgive...snap."

The head hit the hard stone floor, and then twisted and deformed. Red, white, and black covered the ground in an instant.

The square fell silent for a moment, then burst into screams.

"Another death!"

Oh, the police officer turned her head instantly and stared at Lynch's face with a burning gaze.

"Don't look at me, look at the road. Yesterday was just Cui En's nonsense. It's just a coincidence. The dead person has nothing to do with me, really."

Immediately, a peasant woman and two children lay down next to the body and cried bitterly. A few gentlemen in the front row immediately came forward to comfort him. Dozens of people gathered around the body and cried, and the surroundings were in chaos for a while.

The carriage has been stopped by Officer Natalie: "Did they just say 'again'?"

"Well, I..." Lin Qi was about to say something, but suddenly realized the implication of the police officer's words. Apparently she was worried that this place would be affected by mysterious events and people might continue to die. After a moment of thought, Lin Qi changed his words, "Short There are continuous deaths within a certain period of time, so we can't rule out the possibility of mysterious events. We can ask and maybe we can find an entry point. ""Since this is your request, let's take a look first," said Nata. Officer Li stopped talking and hummed: "Thank you."

"Oh, that night someone suddenly kicked open my door and pushed me to the ground. In fact, they were worried about the same thing. I didn't say thank you yet."

"I'm not worried about you. I'm worried that that strange object will create a greater threat and disrupt the order of Rhine."

The police officer snorted coldly, drove the carriage to the side of the road, parked it, and then asked Lynch with her eyes.

Lynch looked around the crowd, ignored the farmers and women who were watching, and chose an older gentleman.

It’s not that I’m discriminating against the lower class, but because of the limited conditions in this era, most of the people at the lower class are uneducated, and their logic and ability to grasp key points are far behind, making it difficult to communicate in depth. This is also the importance of universal education, so he directly selected educated and decent people, and more sophisticated old people.

The old gentleman was working with others to comfort the crying peasant woman. When he saw Lynch approaching, he was stunned.

The casual clothes Lynch wore today looked like an ordinary civilian, but the carriage he got off looked like it was made of no ordinary material. It was a big shot traveling with his identity hidden, so the old gentleman immediately put on a humble smile.

"I'm from the Governor's Palace of the Rhine, and I was passing by on business." Lynch pulled the old gentleman aside, flashed his badge, and whispered, "What's going on?"

"I am Thomas, the treasurer of the town. I pay my respects to your Excellency." The old gentleman replied with a smile, "In the past three days, there has been a rinderpest outbreak in the town. All the cattle of four families have died, and the cattle of other families have died." That's not right either. Mike's family is also pitiful. They worked hard to raise dozens of cows and all died overnight. His family borrowed a lot of money from the bank in the town and even mortgaged the land. Once the cows died, everything was over. . He jumped down without thinking. ”

It's a bit miserable, but it's normal.

Lin Qi frowned and thought: "But I heard that he was not the only one who died."

"Yes, the rinderpest this time is very serious. A few days ago, old Werther also acted impulsively and hanged himself here."

"He also owes money?"

"Yes, most families in the town owe loans from Will Bank." The old gentleman sighed, "Actually, this was not the custom in the town before, but in the past two years, the purchase price of beef has been raised in the town. In order to earn more, everyone So they all took out loans to expand their breeding, and as a result, all four farms were transferred to banks.”

The corners of Lynch's mouth twitched, which was too obvious: "Are you sure that's rinderpest?"

"Cattle have been raised here for decades. You can still tell whether they died of illness or were poisoned." The old gentleman said with a grimace, "It is indeed not poisoning, otherwise Mike and the others would not have chosen to commit suicide."

Okay, maybe it's really a coincidence. Although there are no coincidences in the mysterious world, it doesn't say that there can't be in the normal world. So Lynch nodded and said: "So when Mike jumped down and shouted that he would not forgive, was he referring to Will Banks?"

"That's not the case, I'm talking about another family in the town. In the past few decades, there have been several rinderpest outbreaks in the town, and many livestock died. When it couldn't be controlled, that family helped control it. Sheep plague was the only one There was no large-scale outbreak. The people affected by the disaster have been asking for help in the past two days, but the family firmly refused to help. That’s why Mike said that in the end.

"This...it's not an obligation to help with this kind of thing, right?" Lin Qi frowned, "How can someone hate someone else if they don't want to give a favor?"

The old gentleman was stunned and explained helplessly: "Sir, the truth is correct, but you can't use common sense to think about people who are in despair. They..."

"Yes, it's all their fault! They were the ones who killed Mike and Old Werther because they didn't help. They also want to kill us."

The sudden shout interrupted the conversation between the three of them. Lynch found that while they were talking, the farmers in the square had gathered together, each with a fierce look on their face:

"Let's go to Milt's house together. If they dare not agree this time, they will demolish his weird house!"

"Yes! Go find them!"

A group of people immediately gathered together and crowded in the same direction.

"Wait, whose family is it?"

"The Milt family," the old gentleman explained, "is also a family in the town, but they live in a relatively remote place and don't interact much with other townspeople."

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
