The Devil’s Cage Chapter 6: Case 1
“No matter what your requirements are, as long as I can do it, I can promise!”
The big businessman Hunter gave a promise.
“Sir, please calm down, I need to know the whole process of things before I can help you!”
Kieran said as much as possible in line with his identity.
In reality, Kieran has not been exposed to Detective.
And in that simple memory, he didn’t look like he was “handling a case”.
Therefore, Kieran at this moment can only be imitated-imitating those classic Detective images from books and video products.
tone and expression, all of this.
Obviously, the imitation of Kieran still has some effects, and Hunt, the that person big businessman, calmed down.
“Sorry, I’m too anxious!”
“You should be able to understand the father’s impatience in the face of the disappearance of her daughter!”
The other party was sorry, and then the story began.
“We discovered that Altilly was missing yesterday morning, right at my manor!”
“At that time, my wife and maid called Altilly for breakfast, but the bedroom door was locked!”
“My wife continuously called the door, and no one agreed. Then, I let someone open the door and found no one in the bedroom!”
“I sent everyone I could send to find the whereabouts of Altilly, but there was no gain at all, and there was no trace of Altilly inside or outside the manor!”
The other party very systematically told the whole story after the disappearance was discovered.
While the other party’s wife didn’t speak a word, the sadness on her face became more intense.
“Can I see the room of Altilly?”
“Of course!”
Kieran inquired, the other party immediately responded, and personally took Kieran to the top floor of the building with his wife.
“Only Altilly, my wife and I live in first floor, her room is here!”
As he spoke, the other party opened a room on the left hand side.
This is a typical girl room.
The whole room is not only pink, but also various dolls and puppets.
Kieran walked in and looked carefully.
And, immediately opened the skill [Tracking].
If Kieran has any skills that can be linked to Detective, then it is naturally [Tracking].
This is also the source of confidence for Kieran to accept the identity of ‘Detective’.
With the opening of [Tracking], all the subtleties in front of my eyes appear in the eyes of Kieran.
white, messy footprints spread all over the room.
After a slight comparison, Kieran confirmed that it belonged to Hunter.
Apparently, Hunter really sent someone to look for it seriously, and his daughter’s room came from him.
However, they are looking for the wrong direction.
Kieran‘s gaze shifted slightly.
In addition to Hunter’s footprints, there are two other people’s footprints in the room.
One of can also be identified as Hunt’s wife after similar comparison.
As for the remaining one, it is naturally the missing Altilly.
The footprints of this group are very orderly, not as panic as her parents’ footprints, but only between the bed and the window, which is very rare in other places.
Kieran‘s gaze followed this set of footprints, observing two places.
The wooden frame of the window has a scratch that is concave inwards–the kind of three-finger hook.
On the bedside carpet, there are two conspicuous drag marks-a box, Kieran judged from the drag marks.
Kieran looked at the two places a little and looked at the side of the bed.
The windows are open to the outside. Even with his Master Rank‘s [Tracking], he could not find anything special after the heavy rain yesterday.
All traces of were completely washed away.
However, the room is different!
Kieran looked at the bottom of the bed.
“Altilly is a very good child, studying in Church school, whether in school or at home, it is a lady…”
When searching for Kieran, as a father, Hunt subconsciously praised his daughter in front of outsiders.
However, before the words were finished, he was interrupted by a box pulled by Kieran from under the bed of Altilly.
This box is hidden, in the mezzanine of the floor.
If it is not Kieran with [Tracking] turned on, if you can distinguish two clear drag marks on the carpet, I want to find a lot of time for Cost Required.
“What is this?”
Hunter and his wife looked at each other, looking at the box that Kieran dragged from under the daughter’s bed, and couldn’t help but stared at both eyes.
“I don’t know, but your daughter is far less clever than you think!”
Kieran shook his head and looked at the box in front of him, with a lock on it.
“Can I open it?”
Kieran pointed to the lock and asked.
“This is Tilly’s private item…”
“But now Tilly is missing, we must find her!”
Hunter’s wife, that person‘s mournful wife subconsciously blocked Kieran, but was immediately stopped by her husband.
Hunt, the big businessman, walked to his wife and said seriously.
At the next moment, when he noticed the sorrow and reddish eyes on his wife’s face, he immediately noticed that he had behaved inappropriately.
“Dear, I’m sorry… I’m so anxious, sorry!”
Hunt took his wife, apologizing.
“I understand!”
Hunt’s wife, her eyes turned red again. The lady apologized to Kieran and quickly left the room.
“Sorry, my wife…Tilly is her most precious daughter, and also mine!”
“I have never been as anxious as I am now, and so is my wife!”
“Before, I hoped that when the police tried my best to help me find Tilly, they turned me down with a lack of manpower, but they just filed an ordinary case-this is the main reason why I came to you!”
“I don’t want to hide you, I hope you don’t mind!”
Hunt whispered.
“Of course not!”
Thinking of the that person old housekeeper’s dissatisfaction with the police, Kieran nodded clearly.
“I’ll find a tool to open it!”
Hunt walked out as he spoke.
Kieran waited quietly.
Short-term contact, he can see that the Hunts and his wife are well-educated and rich in tutoring. Similarly, they love their daughter very much.
Even if she discovered that her daughter had a secret, she decided to keep it secret.
Otherwise, Hunt does not need to find tools at all.
There are so many servants in the manor, just need to give a command.
Kieran did not wait long.
After about five minutes, he walked back with a hammer.
No more words, Hunter’s hand lifted the hammer and dropped the lock on the box in front of him.
The box was opened.
However, there is no more item in it.
a dagger, a flintlock handgun, and a gunpowder bag.
This is all.
But it only occupies one fifth of the box.
Kieran based on the discovered item, can completely speculate what item was originally in the box.
weapons!
Moreover, it is a more handy weapon than the one left in the box.
“Tilly!”
Hunt laid his palm on his forehead and whispered.
could become a businessman with such a large estate, obviously not a fool. Like Kieran, Hunter guessed what item was taken away.
“Although I don’t know what happened, I can be sure that Miss Altilly was not kidnapped. Her disappearance is voluntary-there are traces here, but because of the heavy rain yesterday, I can’t know more!”
Kieran walked to the window and motioned Hunt to look at the marks left by the hook.
“Damn, why haven’t I discovered this, if I can find it earlier, maybe I can recover Tilly!”
After looking at the traces of the hook, Hunter was annoyed.
“Kieran Your Excellency, I hope you can help me find Tilly!”
Kieran‘s excellent performance has won the trust of this big businessman and expressed it in the most direct way.
A stack of thick banknotes was placed in the hands of Kieran by the other party.
The maximum denomination is 10.
The total number of is about 500.
And Kieran based on the simple memory before, knowing this number is definitely valuable.
In this dungeon, a decent man has a monthly income of only about 30-40.
“This is a deposit. If you can find Tilly, I will repay you!”
Hunt assured.
“I will do my best!”
Kieran took over the money without excuses~IndoMTL.com~Although the money has no real meaning for Kieran, it is very helpful to him who has no money in this dungeon

……
“Master!”
Just when Hunter stood in front of an oil portrait of Altilly in adulthood and told Kieran more about his daughter, the that person old-faced butler came over.
“John police chief from the police station sent someone and said… Somebody found a body with similar characteristics to the lady!”
The housekeeper said a little hesitantly after Hunter indicated that he could speak directly.
Kieran can clearly see that after hearing this sentence, Hunt’s face instantly turned pale, and then, his fists clenched, and the expression of the whole person became untidy.
A hint of coldness appeared on the other person’s body, making people stand upright.
murderous aura!
Kieran gave the other party a surprised look.
There is no doubt that the other party hides more than the other party shows.
However, Kieran did not ask.
Everyone has a secret, right?
“Mr. Hunter, it’s just similar, not necessarily-I think we need to see the corpse!”
Kieran
“Well, Mike prepares the carriage! Remember not to tell Mrs.!”
Hunt nodded immediately and ordered.
“Yes, lord!”
