She walked into the room, lowered the window, and then came to her daughter's bedside.

She was about to reach out and gently pat her daughter's face, but she was attracted by her daughter's protective hand in her arms.Something seemed to be clenched tightly in her immature hands.

Catherine saw only a tinge of purple.

She wanted to grab the object in Ximena's hand, but she didn't want this action to wake Ximena up.

"Mummy?"

Little Ximena's face seemed to be a little confused, and she stretched out her hand to rub the corner of her eyes, but the thing she was holding fell off.

It was a bud.

Ximena let out an exclamation, and quickly picked up the flower buds that had fallen on the bed.

"Where did you pick it? It's not okay to randomly pick other people's flower gardens."

Catherine spoke.

But her daughter's next words made her stunned.

"I didn't pick it, it was specially given to me by Nissa."

10 minute later.

At the dining table, Catherine listened to her daughter's story, which she had heard several times.

"Nisa came to see me last night, Mommy, did you know that Nissa has become a fairy."

"She has a pair of transparent wings, just like the fairy in the story."

Seeing the disbelieving expression on Catherine's face, Ximena's voice grew louder.Lifting the purple flowers on the table, he said:

"This is the proof, it was given to me by Nissa!"

How could Catherine believe such nonsense of a child.

As of today, the runaway child has been missing for a week.In the absence of any audio, the outcome can be basically determined.

Ximena and Nissa are very good friends, and Catherine thought it was a dream that her daughter missed too much.

As for the flower, it is a common ornamental variety in the area, beautiful and easy to raise, and you can basically see this kind of flower in the flower gardens of the townspeople.

Catherine has already decided that her daughter picked it in an unknown flower garden.

However, it is not easy for Catherine to directly deny her daughter's nonsense.For children of this age, it is always necessary to give them some room for imagination.

"I see, let's eat quickly. Otherwise, you will be late later."

Ximena finally lowered her head and came to eat today's breakfast with her face on her shoulders.

After breakfast, she sent her daughter to the car. Just as Catherine was about to get into the cab, she stopped and looked back at her house.

On the second floor, my daughter's room.

There is no foothold below which anyone can climb, unless a ladder is brought over.

Catherine laughed at herself and sat in the cab.

.................

Yorkford Elementary.

Although the town of Yorkford is not big, it can be regarded as a small town with all internal organs.Educational institutions are complete from kindergarten to high school.

As Ximena, who just entered school in the first half of the year, she has just gotten used to the school environment and made friends who are inseparable from her classmates.

Originally, she had two friends, but with Nissa's disappearance, there is only one left now.

Saman, a chubby girl with freckles on her face.

When she came to the classroom and saw Saman, Ximena was about to tell about her experience last night.

But when she saw the flowers on Saman's wrist strung together with a string, she was stunned.

On the contrary, it was Saman who pulled Ximena aside and talked about things mysteriously.

"I saw Nissa last night."

"It's really incredible..."

"She's turned into an elf!"

Little fairies and elves are similar in the little girl's impression.

Innocent and beautiful magical creatures.

With wings, he can fly freely and live a carefree life every day.

Although it only exists in the story, like every child wants to be a character in the story, it is also an object of admiration.

"Nissa also came to see me last night."

Ximena stretched out her hand, and showed the somewhat wrinkled purple flower in her palm to Saman.

Perhaps because of some kind of magic, the flowers did not wither in the past night, but were as fresh as they were just picked, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

Staring blankly at the flowers in Ximena's hands, Saman froze for a moment, then became excited.

"So, she also told you about that?"

.............

On the other side, after sending her daughter to school, Catherine went home and changed into a police uniform, and then rushed to the police station.

The door of the police station was still locked. Obviously, she was the first to arrive today.

This is nothing, or rather, this is a very common thing.

After making herself a cup of coffee, Catherine sat at her desk and browsed her mobile phone.

Half an hour passed, and the two partners still hadn't come over.

Catherine frowned, just about to make a call, but received the call first.

Old Sauvy's phone.

The old Suo Wei said that he was not feeling well today, so he wanted to take a leave of absence.

Catherine naturally agreed. In fact, for a senior who is only two months away from retiring, it's okay not to make this call.

If anything happened in the bureau, the old Suo Wei could give some advice now, but don't even think about practical help.

But George is not the same as old Sauvy.

"What is this guy doing again?"

The call to George was not answered, and Catherine was a little angry.

She drove directly to George's house, met George's mother, and found out that her partner left home after get off work yesterday and has not returned yet.

George went out with a shotgun.

Without George's old mother going on, Catherine knew what the bastard partner was going to do.

She knew that there was a safe house built by George's gang on the mountain, which was specially used to stay overnight under certain circumstances.

But I have to go to work the next day, and even if I want to ask for leave, I have to tell myself.

Furthermore, someone planted a black bear outside the forest yesterday, which means that it is not safe there...

No, maybe it was because of this that those guys got excited and went up the mountain overnight.

Catherine didn't even think about it, she drove away from George's house and drove straight out of the town.

Chapter 140 VII Disappear

There is only one road in and out of Yorkford Town. After all, this place is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains on three sides.And the road up the mountain is also on this main road.

Catherine made an abrupt right turn on the main road and onto a side road.

In fact, it is a dirt road. The trees on the road are pulled out and then filled with soil, which is completed.

Perhaps because of the light rain in the early morning, this road is not very easy to walk.When Catherine arrived at the destination, the entire police car was already covered with traces of mud.

This also made Catherine's mood even worse.

Stop the car, get out of the car, and a small wooden house appeared in front of her.

Judging from the moss and corrosion marks on the wooden house, it was built very early.The firewood, axes, chain saws, wood planers, etc. placed around are all signs of being sorted out, indicating that people often come here.

The slightly damaged parts of the wooden house have been repaired with new wood, which shows the owner's intentions.

Catherine didn't even think about it, she just went up the steps and stepped on the wooden floor.Getting off the muddy ground made her feel better.

She gently wiped the water droplets on the glass windows, looked inside, and saw that the layout of the house was fairly clean, the living room was covered with an old woolen carpet, and there was a rough log table.

There are also a pile of empty wine bottles and a deck of poker on the table.

The wooden house is only this big, and the window is almost unobstructed. There are no beds, only a few sleeping bags thrown on the ground.

nobody.

Catherine frowned, and cursed secretly: "These bastards."

Then came to the door.

The lock hung on the door was open, which meant that the cabin had been used for at least 24 hours.With a slight push, she stepped in.

From George, she knew about this place.

It was originally the residence of the hunters in the town.

But as time went on, the people who still lived outside the town and hunted for a living disappeared.This has become a stronghold for those who like to sneak in and go up the mountain to play.

That's George's gang.

The house was covered with a faint smell of smoke. It was not difficult to see from the ashtrays, wine bottles and playing cards that the group of guys returned to the wooden house after hunting their prey and were going to spend the night here.

But what about people now?

Catherine took out her mobile phone again and made a call, but the signal in the woods was relatively weak, and it took a long time to respond, but she still didn't get through.

Catherine sighed helplessly, and was about to return the same way.

But he thought of something, and came to these sleeping bags on the ground.

She knew that her partner, George, was very diligent in packing things even though he was lax in his work. It should be said that he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard.
