Chapter 1027 Kidnapping Case
The elves were shocked and looked at Phoenix like a monster, but their eyes were filled with a little bit of envy.
Phoenix turned his little head and looked around, pouting a little unhappily, and then he came to my side and hugged my arm. Then I felt a sharp pain on the inside of my arm. He grinned, looked down, and saw One of Phoenix's little hands was hidden under my arm, pinching me to express his inner dissatisfaction.
I know Phoenix. Although she is not an introvert, she never likes to be stared at all the time. She especially doesn't like to be stared at like a monster, even if there is a hint of envy in her eyes.
After leaving the dungeon, I went straight to the Elf Palace as usual, preparing to have a daily sparring session with Emily, but unexpectedly, Emily was not in the arena.
I asked the maid: "Excuse me, where is Emily?"
The palace maid pointed me in the direction, I thanked me and slowly walked towards the room pointed by the palace maid.
Knocking on the door, Emily's voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Pushing the door open and entering the room, Emily was dressed in formal clothes and was talking to several female elves who looked very serious.
Seeing this, I quickly said, "Sorry for disturbing you," and quickly backed out and closed the door again.
After lingering outside the door for more than ten minutes, there was a soft click, the door opened, and several female elves quickly walked out of the room and left quickly. From the beginning to the end, no one looked at me.
Emily's voice came from the room: "Come in, Xiaoyi."
I entered the room, scratched my hair, and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't know you were in a meeting."
Emily waved her hand indifferently: "It's okay, you came here to see me, what's the matter?"
I pointed to the magic clock on the wall: "I'm here to discuss with you."
She said 'Oh' and was silent for a while, then sighed: "Cancel today's sparring session, I'm a little tired."
I stared at her face. Although there was no expression on that beautiful face, for some reason, I could feel a faint hint of fatigue: "Okay, let's just go home and eat."
She nodded, told me to close the door, and then waved to me.
As soon as I got close to her, she put her arms around my waist and buried her face in my belly. At the same time, her shoulders trembled slightly and her body twisted unconsciously.
I was startled by her sudden move, but fortunately I had good concentration and forced myself to stabilize my body so as not to have any extreme reaction.
After being stunned like this for a while, I slowly raised my right hand, gently placed it on her delicate little head, and rubbed it gently, as if caressing a priceless jade.
After a long time, Emily slowly raised her face. There were a few ridges printed by my clothes on her beautiful face, and a few strands of black hair were stuck to her forehead. She looks like a beauty who has just woken up from sleep, lazy and delicate.
I smiled and asked her, "Do you feel better?"
She nodded, stood up, walked to the mirror, straightened her appearance for a while, and then turned around. I found that all the marks on her face had disappeared, and the messy silk hair had been arranged meticulously. She was again Returned to the crisp and refreshing state of the past.
"Actually, it's quite cute to be a little confused occasionally," I said, "Just like that."
She looked at me calmly: "What did it look like just now? Do you still have an impression?"
Although the tone was calm and indifferent, the words were full of threats.
"Uh" I was startled, paused, and said, "I forgot."
"Very good." Emily nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the door first and opened the door: "Go home and eat."
On the way, I asked Emily: "Is there anything bothering you recently?"
Emily said 'hmm'.
"Or what about the lost puppet design?"
"No" said Emily.
"What, is there a new trouble?"
Emily was silent for a moment and said: "It's a missing case."
"Missing case!" I was startled and almost screamed. I subconsciously glanced around a few times. There were not many pedestrians on the street and no one paid attention to us. I just breathed a sigh of relief and lowered my voice and said, "Everyone." Who is missing?"
Emily said: "They are all girls from my clan, you shouldn't know them."
"Well, that's true. I only know you and Lilea among the girls from your tribe, as well as Her Majesty the Queen, the two princesses, and Beibei, the granddaughter of Elder Mai Sonoda."
"Do you know Elder Mai Sonoda's granddaughter?" Emily turned to stare at me and said.
"I can't say that I know him completely, I just met him once."
"Oh" Emily turned her head back before I could finish speaking, and continued to act unconcerned.
"When did these girls disappear?" I asked.
Emily said lightly: "Why are you asking about this?"
"I want to try and help you."
"Do you know how to do detective work?" Emily asked.
"Won't."
"Then how can you help me?"
I thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I don't know how to help you. I just feel uncomfortable when I see you have no energy."
"Really?" Emily said, "In that case, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
I instantly became energetic, perked up my ears, and looked expectant.
Emily glanced at me: "This is a very serious matter, don't listen to it with an expectant expression."
"Okay," I said, my eyes drooping, my brows furrowed, turning into a frown.
Emily looked at me indifferently for a while, and then suddenly sighed: "Forget it, I'll use the same expression as before. Your current expression makes me feel like I want to beat you."
I was startled, and quickly adjusted my expression back to an expectant one.
Emily didn't speak, probably because she was speechless at my changing expressions. She sighed, deliberately avoided looking at my face, turned her head, looked forward, and said, "Just last night, a few days ago, An express report was sent to the palace, and it was determined that a total of seven elf girls have disappeared in the past few days."
I thought about it and asked her: "Did they disappear together for a few days? Or is there no pattern of disappearances?"
Emily said: "There is no regularity in the disappearance times recorded in the express, but the ages of the missing girls are generally the same, between eight and ten years old."
"Aren't these all young girls between the ages of eight and ten?" I suddenly thought of something bad. Why are the words "young girl, kidnapping" so familiar?
I thought for a moment, then suddenly with a sharp look in my eyes, I asked Emily: "When was the last magic airship that took off from Moonlight City?"
