"Junior sister Du is right. I don't think the city lord is so bored that he sends people to monitor us all the time. If we leave here, no one will be watching us anymore." Yang Di thought the same way.
He didn't think this was a big problem, anyway, everything would be solved naturally once he left the city.
As long as you don't follow them all the way into the secret realm, it's not a big deal.
After several people had breakfast, they went to the hotel manager to check out, planning to leave the city while it was still early.
Unexpectedly, as soon as a few people reached the city gate, they were blocked.
"What's going on? Why don't you let us leave the city?"
"Why don't you let us go out of the city? I'm still rushing to drink my sister-in-law's wedding wine!"
"I also made an appointment with a friend to go to the secret realm for training. The secret realm will be opened soon. Time waits for no one!"
"Let us out quickly, what are you doing!"
People rushing out of the city had already surrounded the city gate, and the guards guarding the city lined up in two rows to block the city gate, as if no one could get through.
"The city lord has an order. No one is allowed to leave the city until the thief who stole the child is found!" the captain of the guard said coldly to everyone.
"What! We are not the thieves, why are we not allowed to leave the city?"
"Didn't you say that the thieves are those guys from the fairyland? Wouldn't it be nice to catch those guys? I am a native of the spiritual realm. What does this have to do with me!"
"We people in the Demon Realm have nothing to do with this matter. Even if you want to arrest them, you should arrest those sanctimonious immortals in the Immortal Realm!"
Not being allowed to leave the city, everyone was a little excited. You and I expressed their dissatisfaction with every word.
"Don't be aggrieved. Three more children were lost in the city last night, and now the three families are going crazy looking for them.
No one is allowed to leave the city until the child is found.
If anyone tries to break out by force, they will be treated as if they were stealing from a child.
If you don’t want to be innocently implicated, I advise you to stay in the city honestly. As long as the lost child is found, you will be free..."
The guards guarding the city have made it very clear that no one can leave the city until the child is found.
Several people had no choice but to return to the inn where they had stayed.
Fortunately, they came back quickly. The room they had just checked out had not yet been booked. After paying the money, they returned to the room they had stayed in before.
Because they couldn't leave the city, the four of them had to gather together for a meeting, hoping to come up with a good solution.
Several people discussed it and decided that they should first find out what happened in the Rooster City.
They also need to find out more about the missing child.
It just so happened that many guests in the lobby on the first floor who could not leave the city were talking about this matter.
As soon as they came downstairs, they heard someone talking, so they found an empty table to sit down, and listened carefully to what others were saying.
"I don't know when the thief who stole the child will be caught. I'm really in trouble. My wife is about to give birth. What if I go back late and the child doesn't recognize me after birth?"
A tall and thick man said with a depressed look.
Some characteristics of the Bear Clan can be seen on this big man, and he is a member of the Bear Clan at first glance.
"In the past year, children have been lost in the city, which has made everyone panic. I don't know what the city lord is doing. It's been almost a year, and I can't even catch a child thief!"
"You can't blame the city lord for this. The city lord obviously tried his best. It's all because the thief is too cunning!"
"I heard that the person who stole the child was an immortal from the fairyland, but I don't know if it's true!"
"That should be the case. This news came from the mouth of the guard who had fought with the thief."
"Since we know that it was the immortals from the Immortal Realm who did it, we can just arrest them. Why bother us?"
"There are a lot of immortals in this city. It's impossible to arrest them all. Many of them come from powerful forces in the immortal realm."
"So what if it comes from a big power? Big power can steal children!"
"That's right, those immortals always like to capture our cubs and form bonds with them. Anyway, this thief must have escaped because of them!"
The surrounding spiritual realm creatures became more and more angry as they talked.
The immortals from the Immortal Realm in the inn consciously reduced their presence, not wanting to be angered by the murderer in the city.
"By the way, this investigation has been going on for a year, but apart from knowing that the thief who stole the child came from the fairyland, nothing else has been found?"
At this time, someone said.
"If something had been found, we wouldn't still be losing our children to this day." Everyone sighed.
"Now that's good. After a year of checking, we still can't find it. We shouldn't be trapped in this city for ten or eight years."
"It shouldn't happen. We will be detained for a few months at most. How can we be detained for as long as ten or eight years?"
"I think so. Our Gray Wolf Clan is not someone to be trifled with. If you dare to imprison me for so long, our clan leader will not spare this Chicken Clan member."
"We, the Snow Fox Clan, are also not easy to mess with. I don't think the Lingji Clan people dare to go too far."
When everyone returned to the room, several people frowned deeply.
After a year of investigation, the identity of the person responsible for stealing the cubs has not been found. If they were to be locked up for a few months, the secret realm would have been closed long ago. It will take thirty years for the next secret realm to be opened!
How can the Supreme Elder wait for so long!
"In this case, there is no other way. Let's find the thief who kidnapped the child together!" Fan Yi suggested.
"This is the only thing we can do now. As long as we find the thief, there is no reason for the city lord to continue to imprison us." Yang Di agreed.
"Then let's split up and go around the city to inquire about information, hoping to find the thief who stole the child as soon as possible," Du Feiyan said.
Several people split up to look for clues.
At this time, a notice was posted in the city lord's palace, encouraging everyone in the city to look for the thief who stole the child.
Anyone who finds or provides clues can go to the City Lord's Mansion to receive rewards.
Although there were notices in the City Lord's Mansion before, the rewards were not so many. It was obvious that the rewards had been doubled.
It can be seen that the city lord is also under great pressure.
After Pei Yi and others separated, they each looked for clues in their own way.
But this clue is not so easy to find. If the thief was really so easy to catch, he wouldn't have been unable to catch him for so long.
Pei Yi and others visited the victim whose child had been stolen before, and also searched around the city, but unfortunately there were no usable clues.
At night, several people returned to the inn tired and in a low mood.
After all, they really don't have time to spend in this place.
Especially Lu Xiaobao, the whole chicken seems particularly impatient.
Xu Tao saw everyone's anxiety and couldn't think of any good solution.
The thief who stole the child was probably not a single person, but was organized and premeditated. There might even be associates of that group among the top brass of Rooster City.
It's not that difficult to find the thief who stole the child.
