Cities and villages have clear boundaries, and the urbanization process in this era has not yet developed to the countryside.

On the one hand, the development of social capital is still centered on the city, and the people in the countryside maintain the most simple life. If you talk to them about the accumulation of capital and the investment of funds, it is playing a piano to the ox, not to mention that they themselves do not have much savings.

On the other hand, in the eyes of the upper class, the countryside is the countryside, as long as it can provide them with quality meat and dairy products and various raw materials, it is not suitable for factories to open in that kind of place.

This has led to the rapid development of cities, while the development of rural areas will lag a lot, which is a social norm.

For example, Preston today can only be said to be a second-tier city. Compared with the real big cities in the Lane Empire, there is also a huge gap.

For example, new things such as rail buses and electric lights that have been tested in the metropolis have not even been seen in Preston.

Closer to home, Sherlock agreed to accept this commission, and Donald went home and left a note. This time he went to the farm outside the city, and one day was definitely not enough, so he had to tell Infinita in advance.

As for the transactions between the underground market and the cult, there is always no problem in returning within three days.

Sitting on the "open-top" donkey-pulled truck, Sherlock and Donald both had sheepskins under their butts, leaning against the cargo box.

"This is a good opportunity, didn't you just buy a gun? When you arrive at the Dofinn Farm, you can find a place to practice shooting, at least make sure that you can hit objects the size of a bamboo basket within five meters, otherwise the price of buying a gun will not be full. wasted?"

Sherlock held a small stone bowl in his hand, and kept taking out materials from his suitcase and grinding them.

"Can you still practice guns on the farm?"

Donald is flipping through the newspaper from a few years ago. Quan should pass the time. The roads outside the city are not smooth. The speed of the donkey cart is not fast, and the road is bumpy. Must be able to hold on.

On the contrary, the two farmers sitting next to each other were chatting and laughing, and they didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Why can't we practice? Lanfindor farm has a special shooting range. Usually, we practice a few guns secretly. After all, it depends on the farm. Although there is no gun holder, there are wild wolves in the mountains. Put the iron fork up, if the two of you go, try it during your break, the boss will definitely not say anything."

It was Golem who spoke the most among the three people who were sent to entrust him. He had a thick beard on his chin, protruding cheekbones on both sides, and always had a smile on his face. The other two were a little different. Same.

The name of the donkey cart in front was Aldrich. He was a taciturn man. He met him in front of the office before. From the point of view of obedience, it should be a capable person.

The remaining one is called Old Hobo. He is the eldest of the three. There are a few strands of white hair on his head. It may be because of his age. This man should be the most stable of the three. He was the one who reminded Golem not to talk nonsense. Judging from the attitude of the other two towards him, he did have some status.

"Mr. Hooper, tell us about the farm. You should have searched the surrounding area beforehand. You should be able to find one or two missing cattle and sheep, right? Are there no bones or the like?"

Donald is selective about who he asks, depending on what he wants to ask.

Golem talks too much, and many words have their own processing. If there are some daily things similar to gossip, he will definitely respond.

Aldridge talks too little, and it is estimated that he will not get a detailed response when asking him questions. However, as a bystander, not speaking does not mean his mind is dull. His thoughts are likely to be hidden in his heart, and he may have insights on some key issues.

In this way, old Hobo is the best choice. He is mature and prudent, and can give some objective information.

"The missing cattle and sheep... It's not that they haven't been found, but that's not the point. Our boss said that there is no problem with how many cattle and sheep are missing. We must find Miss Audrey!"

"Hey? Isn't it a request for the disappearance of cattle and sheep? How did it become that Miss Audrey was missing? Is this name for a certain sheep or a certain cow?"

Donald was a little dazed, this is different from what he said before.

"Donald, I forgot to tell you that what these three gentlemen entrusted is not the case of missing cattle and sheep. It should be said that the case of missing cattle and sheep is only part of it. You didn't listen to them outside the door in the morning. In fact, they are really looking for , is the daughter of the farmer, the latter went missing while out on a green walk, and only a note was left at the scene: Call the police and kill!"

If it's just the case of missing cattle and sheep, Sherlock is not necessarily interested. After all, this kind of case has no reporting value in the news agency. The gentlemen in the city will not pay attention to how many sheep or dozens of sheep are lost on the farm. Sheep, in their eyes, is a waste of their own thoughts.

Unless the farm is in their own name.

"Are there any discoveries or strange phenomena at the disappearance scene? Specific information is also acceptable, such as when did you disappear?"

People are always more important than animals, at least from a human standpoint. Donald changed the problem and took out the small notebook in his pocket.

"The time of disappearance was July 3rd, that is, 3 days ago, Miss Audrey was out for an outing in the morning~lightnovelpub.net~ Usually, she also has this habit, and the time is usually from 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning. Around 1:00 o'clock, it's just a .

Old Hooper tried his best to recall the day he disappeared. After seeing Donald had written down a few notes, he turned to the scene. At this time, Sherlock put down the research stick in his hand and began to listen intently:

"There is nothing strange about the missing place, no blood, no leftovers, and no..."

"Wait, Mr. Hooper, you said there were no traces at the scene of the disappearance? One thing I'm curious about, how did you determine the place of disappearance?"

The tip of the pen tapped twice from the notebook, and Donald raised his head and asked suspiciously.

"Because of that letter, it's not normal for the murderer to leave a letter at the scene for us to see after the kidnapping."

In the eyes of many people, this is a smooth and successful thing.

呲la~

A piece of paper was torn from the notebook in Donald's hand by Sherlock and threw it on the donkey cart.

"Now, can I say, is this where Miss Audrey disappeared?"

There is no special trace at the scene, just a piece of paper, how can it be concluded that it is the scene of the disappearance?

Of course, this is a habit that must be avoided in case detection. Sherlock is very clear even if he is a novice.

"Boss, you tore up what I just recorded... Could you tell me first next time, so I can turn the page."

Donald sniffed and said helplessly.

"I'm sorry...you can write it down again."

Is it so hard to be handsome?
