Chapter 328: Chapter 327: Night Search
The security environment of the Accordion District.
It was even better than the apartment where Ronald lived, that is, on the riverside area.
As the wealthy district of Springs.
Apart from the night patrol officers on duty, there were also dedicated personnel who cleaned the streets.
Walking in such a place, just the cleanliness of the streets could bring about a rather pleasant mood.
The only pity was that Ronald currently had no interest in admiring this beauty.
By keeping the detection range of "Fury" within a level where he could fully accept and properly handle the information, Ronald was walking silently on this street.
Whether it was the night patrol officers like ordinary people.
Or the investigators responsible for mysterious matters.
Once Ronald detected their routes intersecting with his own, he would preemptively change direction and cleverly bypass them, thereby avoiding some unnecessary troubles.
However, the Accordion District was after all, a residential area of no small size.
Under these relatively restrictive conditions, Ronald could only patrol the area at a relatively slow pace. Even some things that he had not considered before became very frustrating for him.
——After all, the Accordion District was a rich people’s area.
In such residential areas, the actual stability of people’s homes was in reality more troublesome than that of the Riverside area where Ronald lived, or even some economically challenged areas.
In summary, it could be generalized into the category of rich people really knowing how to have fun.
And when confronted with such sordid affairs, Ronald still inevitably needed to step forward to investigate.
After all, these situations could also be a cover-up for Mil’s actions.
As a result, Ronald’s activities tonight could only maintain this current slow pace.
"..."
"If it’s slow, then let it be slow..."
Having just jumped down from another household’s wall, Ronald shook his head with a somewhat helpless expression.
No matter the era.
The nightlife of human beings could always be described with the words "rich and colorful."
Even if Ronald had seen a lot before his time travel.
But after such a round of inspections, he surprisingly still had the feeling of having his eyes opened.
Maintaining focus while upholding Spell, repeatedly avoiding detection and climbing over walls to investigate, his spiritual and physical endurance were continually worn down, and Ronald entered the second hour of his investigation tonight.
——At this moment
——The situation changed.
This was a three-story residence no different from other households in the Accordion District.
The owner’s family lived on the second floor, the servants resided on the first floor, and on the third floor there seemed to be a young child fast asleep in just one room.
However, it was within this very building.
Ronald once again sensed human emotions that were somewhat out of the ordinary.
On the second floor of the building, where the owner’s family should be residing, at this moment the three family members were all in one room, and the changes in their inner emotions were very concerning.
"..."
"I hope I haven’t got it wrong this time..."
Thinking this in his heart.
Ronald, skilled and silent, climbed over the wall and then jumped into the courtyard of the estate.
After performing such actions several times in one night.
He had become quite accustomed to this method of operation.
So when he climbed over the wall, Ronald didn’t make any noise that could attract attention.
Upon reaching the courtyard, he didn’t even need to sneak into the house.
Using his excellent physical strength, Ronald gripped the protrusion on the window ledge on the exterior of the estate and immediately began climbing the wall, reaching the height of the second floor.
But for Ronald at his current level of physical fitness, this was something that could be done with relative ease.
Following the outer wall’s windows, Ronald carefully peeped inside.
"..."
With that glance, everything changed.
Just from witnessing the scene inside the room, Ronald’s originally somewhat languid eyes became instantly serious.
Suspicious.
Truly suspicious to the extreme!
In a room on the second floor of the mansion, not facing the street, a finely dressed young girl was sitting casually on the bed.
In front of her, a man and a woman—both adults—were tied together, now resigned to sitting honestly on the floor of the room.
Besides that, there was also a young girl, asleep on the bed.
Although from Ronald’s angle he could only discern her figure, a simple comparison revealed that the body curves and height of the sleeping girl matched those of the young lady sitting on the bed.
He could guarantee this with his exceptional vision.
There was absolutely no mistake about it!
Suspicious!
But could it be Mil...
Before checking in detail, Ronald naturally couldn’t fully guarantee it.
However, based on what he saw, the suspiciousness of this family had reached quite a high level.
Thus, to prevent assuming that the other party was just a family with some special quirks,
Ronald decided to observe a while longer.
Slightly adjusting his position, he quickly flipped his body around to the roof of the three-story mansion and found a spot sheltered from the moonlight to quietly sit down.
—Five minutes.
That was the time limit he had set for himself.
If after five minutes the household in the mansion continued like this,
then Ronald could easily leap down from there and break in through the window.
As for why five minutes...
On one hand, this neither long nor short period was well-suited for his current activity.
If he was mistaken, it wouldn’t cause too much delay.
And on the other hand, no matter how peculiar the family’s interests were, it was normal to expect some change within five minutes.
"..."
However, Ronald soon found that he wouldn’t need to wait as long as five minutes.
The moment he had flipped onto the roof and found a place to sit down,
Something downstairs caught his extraordinary attention.
There had been no additional events, yet the girl sitting on the bed suddenly became tense, and even exhibited a hint of hostility in her demeanor.
It was fleeting, however.
That emotion was quickly suppressed by the young girl, leaving no further trace to be seen.
Hostility and rapid emotional stabilization...
Clearly, it was directed at himself, sneaking into the mansion, wasn’t it?
Faced with such a reaction, Ronald had no more hesitation.
This change perfectly matched Mil’s behavior from the afternoon when she had sensed his arrival and immediately fled from the Lilac Garden.
Using some method unknown to him,
She had once again detected his presence, which caused such a shift in her emotions.
Therefore, Ronald silently raised his right hand.
The black mist that had been swirling at his fingertips began to drip downwards, immediately finding its way through the gaps in the roof and down below!
