Chapter 229 Investigation (2)

Suri felt his gaze, raised her head and smiled, looking harmless.

Ted realized his rudeness and quickly retracted his shocked gaze, "So that's it. Thank God, we are really saved."

Eugene stood up and said, "Let's go out first to learn about the town and its surroundings."

"Okay." Ted quickly stood up, and then said with an apologetic expression: "As the mayor, I should guide you to inspect the situation, but because the children at home still need someone to take care of them, I can't accompany you.

feel very sorry."

Suri saw the boy named Marcus hiding behind the door and staring at them with wide eyes, their eyes facing each other. Suri could not help but frown slightly.

His expression was a little complicated, as if he wanted to say something...

When Suri was thinking about asking forward, Eugene said: "Okay, let's leave first. It's better for civilians to stay at home."

Ted said yes repeatedly with an apologetic look on his face.

Su Rui and his party left Mayor Ted's house and returned to the streets of the town. They could only hear the whistling wind and dust flying all over the sky.

"There seem to be two people there." Rupert pointed to the two shaking figures in the distance.

When Su Rui and others rushed over, they saw two young people carrying a bucket of water.

When the two young men saw Suri and the others, they were so frightened that they dropped the bucket and spilled water all over the floor.

"Who are you?" One of the boys wearing a white scarf shook his shoulders in fear.

He had never seen this group of strangers in the town before.

"You don't have to be afraid. We just left Mayor Ted's house and we are here to investigate the recent disappearances in the town." Eugene smiled as kindly as possible to make these two overly nervous young people relax.

"The mayor said that the king has paid attention to our town's problems and will send someone to deal with it soon. It turns out that the mayor was not lying." The two young people were a little excited, as if they had grasped some life-saving straw.

Eugene asked: "Where is your home? We can send you back, it will be safer."

"It would be better if you are willing to do us a favor." Troy interjected, "You should be familiar with the area around the town, right? Can you show us the way?"

"Yes." The two young men looked at each other, "We need to go home first and say something."

"No problem, we can take you back wherever your home is."

Eugene shook his hand, and the suitcase he was carrying instantly turned into an energy vehicle. The two young people were stunned to see it.

Rupert helped them fill the buckets with water and carry them to the car. He took them into the energy vehicle and drove away according to the route they gave them.

After Eugene's inquiry, he learned that the taller one was called Dean and the shorter one was called Baker. They were two brothers. The two seemed a little reserved at the moment. Even though they were very curious about the energy vehicle, they were cautiously peeking around.

It's really heartbreaking to see their behavior and skinny figures.

Suri found some snacks and put them in front of them. When their eyes widened in surprise, he smiled and said, "Eat some."

Dean and Baker looked at each other and then at the others. Seeing that there was no disgust on their faces, they grabbed the snacks in front of them and ate them with big mouthfuls.

"You look like you haven't eaten in a long time." Troy laughed.

Even if he eats, he seems to be missing a meal, Su Rui thought to himself.

Looking at Dean, who is about fifteen years old, Baker is about twelve or thirteen years old, which is when his body is growing, but he looks obviously malnourished.

Baker said while eating: "It's like this, we have very little food."

Troy's originally teasing attitude suddenly took it back, and his eyes became serious, "Don't the district always deliver supplies to several towns with serious problems that have been closed down? How come there are still people who don't have enough to eat?"

Baker raised his head and said: "The things we can get every time are very few. If we want more things, we need to buy them at a high price from the mayor. Our family has no money anymore."

"Stop talking." Dean thought of interrupting Beck many times, but he didn't expect that Beck would just say it all like he was pouring beans.

"Don't eat any more." Dean knocked the fruit out of Baker's hand. When he saw the fruit falling on the ground, Baker immediately went to pick it up, but was stopped by Dean. Baker burst into tears instantly.

"You can't treat your brother like this." Su Rui pulled Baker over and said to Dean: "You are the brother, how can you bully him?"

Dean suddenly knelt down in front of Suri and the others and begged: "My brother doesn't know anything. We have no objection to the mayor. I hope you don't take what my brother just said to heart and don't tell the mayor."

Suri immediately understood what Dean meant. He was not trying to bully his younger brother, but simply wanted to protect him.

"Don't worry, we are not with the mayor. We are sent by the district king to stand with you."

Suri's gentleness made Dean and Beck gradually let down their guard.

"Uncle Eugene." Su Rui walked up to Eugene and blinked, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to call you this?"

Eugene rubbed the back of his head, "Of course it's no problem!"

"Uncle Eugene, it seems like you and the mayor have known each other before?"

Eugene frowned. After listening to what Dean and Baker said just now, what Mayor Ted did violated the regional law. He didn't want to have anything to do with this person whom he didn't know very well. "I and Ted

I just met Mayor De once a long time ago, I don't know or am familiar with him."

Suri nodded, "Now it seems Mayor Ted has some problems."

"It's just trying to make money for the country. A person with such an ugly human nature is not worthy of being the mayor." Eugene said with contempt on his face.

"arrive."

As soon as the car stopped, Dean and Beck jumped out of the car to get it, ran to a house, excitedly slammed the door and shouted: "Dad, Dad."

Not long after, the door opened and a man in a wheelchair appeared in their sight.

When he saw Dean and Beck, the man was obviously relieved, but when he saw Suri and the others again, he immediately became alert. He held the two children in his arms and asked sternly: "Who are you?"

Before Eugene could speak, Dean got out of his arms, stood up straight and said, "Dad, they are not bad people, they are sent by the king."

As the man looked at her, Eugene said: "Hello, I was entrusted by King Sweet to bring my companions to investigate the missing people in the town. This is our captain, Miss Suri."

Su Rui smiled and said: "Because the suspicion is related to Walker Forest, and I happened to come here through Walker Forest on a mission, so I know a little bit about Walker Forest."

Originally, the man frowned when he saw that the captain was a little girl, but when he heard her talking about traveling through Walker Forest, his expression turned into shock.

He was stunned for a while, then recovered and moved the wheelchair to the side and said: "Go in first."

"Give way first." Bruno strode into the house with the bucket in hand. He looked back at Baker, who suddenly understood and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.
