Chapter 86 The Missing Mabiak

Yao Yan couldn't determine what exactly was wrong with this "wrongness".

He couldn't even determine where this "wrongness" came from, or from which direction.

Or was it everywhere?

No, that's not right, that's not right either.

Yao Yan tried to find the exact location of the unknown object that caused his reaction through Karina's eyes and the crows' eyes.

But he didn't find it.

However, at this moment, his thoughts suddenly paused.

The three crows turned their sights to Karina's body.

In an instant, he found the source.

The abnormal feeling came from Karina, from his body at this moment.

But what was a little strange was that although the location was roughly confirmed, this abnormal feeling was still a little hazy and illusory, as if separated by an invisible barrier.

And all this, this feeling, happened after the bar owner Mabiak said a few words.

Which sentence was it?

"The lady who plays Karina, the Winter family?"

"Mrs. Karina?"

"Looking for Fox?"

"Wait here?"

Yao Yan couldn't pinpoint that sentence accurately, and at most he could exclude the last one.

After all, the first three sentences were said together.

He did react after the third sentence came out, when he said half of the fourth sentence.

But the question is, after the other party said this sentence, it took effect immediately, and what triggered his reaction?

Was there a delay?

He was not so conceited that he would take it for granted that when he felt something was wrong, it was the trigger.

Even, it is possible that it has nothing to do with these four sentences.

But no matter what, these four sentences are indeed the most conspicuous clues.

And these four sentences point to Yao Yan's will, and Karina's sight also turned to the abandoned castle across the creek beside the town.

Yao Yan waited in the bar for a long time, but until the scenery outside the bar was completely dark, he still didn't wait for Mabiak to return to the bar.

What happened?

After changing Karina from her maid outfit to her original outfit, Yao Yan stopped waiting and walked out of the bar.

When he arrived at the door of the bar, the drizzle was still falling, making the ground in the town even more muddy.

There was no one on the street.

In the cold and humid air, Yao Yan's eyes swept around, trying to find traces of Mabiak's leaving footprints.

Mabiak said he was going to find Foster, but he didn't say where the Foster family was.

Even Yao Yan was not sure whether he went to Foster's house.

Sure enough, I should have followed him before, and now I don't have to think about finding people by looking for footprints.

Moreover, it is more convenient to ask others about the location than footprints.

Closing the door, opening the umbrella, Yao Yan walked into the rain.

However.

At this moment, his thoughts paused again.

Why?

Because, the hazy abnormal feeling that appeared before disappeared at this moment.

And the reason is precisely because

Leaving the bar?

Turning around, Karina's eyes followed Yao Yan's will and looked at the door of the bar.

Is there something wrong with this bar?

Or...

The crow's eyes that peeked at the outside world from the sleeves looked at other things.

Tentatively, Yao Yan opened the door again and entered the bar.

Rainwater flowed down from the umbrella, and in the subtle sound of water drops falling to the ground along the ribs of the umbrella, Yao Yan did not feel the hazy abnormal feeling again.

Why?

Yao Yan's eyes swept over various items in the bar.

What exactly caused the abnormal feeling, and why did it disappear?

Questions lingered in Yao Yan's heart.

Maybe he should search the bar? Maybe he can find some clues in the bar?

Before, he was worried that Mabiak might come back at any time, so he did not move, but just waited in front of the bar. Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

However, just as he was thinking about searching, a beam of light came from behind him and fell at Karina's feet.

Turning his head, Yao Yan saw that the light source was getting closer and closer——

"Miss Karina? What are you doing here?"

As the voice and the light source moved down, Yao Yan also saw the person coming.

It was the sheriff Stebol.

In his hand, he was holding a lantern.

At this moment, she was standing at the door of the bar. There was no light in the bar, it was dark, and Mabiak was not there.

This situation immediately changed the sheriff's eyes:

"Miss Karina? What are you doing here?"

The same words, different tones, expressed different meanings.

Being regarded as a theft suspect by the small town sheriff is certainly not a good thing.

Yao Yan had a very natural reason.

Immediately, Yao Yan brought up the fact that she was hired as a bar waitress by Mabiak, and used five or six drinkers who had seen her as "evidence".

Oh, no, according to Mabiak, it was a "bar maid".

"'Bar maid'?" Sheriff Steboer was a little confused, but he didn't seem surprised by this title. "Does Mabiak intend to let you be an opera singer?"

"Yes." Yao Yan didn't forget to type the message, "He said that he wanted me to play a role also called Karina, who is said to be from the Winter family hundreds of years ago."

As he said that, he also directly told the story of "Foster":

"Mabiak said he would find someone from Foster to learn about the Winter family."

Hearing Karina's words, Sheriff Steboer recalled, seemed to remember something, nodded, as if he knew why, and his words also proved this point:

"Foster? The descendants of bastards are also bastards."

As he said that, he seemed to think of something and hurried to leave.

"Mr. Sheriff, wait a minute, I'll come with you. After you find Mr. Mabiak, can you take me home?"

Yao Yan did not miss this opportunity. After closing the door, he followed her with the excuse that the way home was unsafe.

The sheriff originally looked at Karina with a little suspicion, but after Yao Yan took the initiative to express his willingness to act together, the suspicion suddenly subsided a lot.

Although it cannot be said that there are no such cases, it is too rare for the thief to choose not to leave immediately, but to act with the sheriff and the police.

Holding an umbrella, under the leadership of Stabler, Yao Yan gradually approached the small river next to the town.

Not far from the river, there was a house that was roughly the same as the other houses, but a little smaller.

Under the light of the sheriff's hand-held lantern, Yao Yan noticed that the door of the house was open before he approached the house.

Noticing this, Yao Yan immediately glanced at the eyes of the sheriff next to him.

He obviously noticed that something was wrong, and Yao Yan noticed that his eyes quickly moved down to the ground.

Yao Yan also followed his eyes and found the problem as well.

The footprints at the door extended toward the bridge.
