Chapter 332 The Disappearing Goods(1/2)

"Take it, it's not something expensive, just think of it as a thank you gift from me for those two guys."

Although Rosalia said it lightly, Bai Qiyun could still feel the heart contained in the amulet itself.

Judging from the appearance, this thing has been worn close to the body for at least many years, and even the pattern on it has been worn away. Moreover, he can faintly feel an icy force wrapping around it. At the critical moment, even

Can be used to defend against enemies.

"this..."

Just like what they did to Timmy before, before Bai Qiyun could say his polite words of rejection, Rosalia walked away without looking back.

Seeing the nun coming and leaving quickly, Bai Qiyun had no choice but to stuff the amulet at hand into the backpack behind him, letting it keep company with Yandora.

It's getting late, and there are fewer and fewer people on the street. Even if a few people want to continue wandering, they don't know where to go, so they have to continue wandering aimlessly on the street to ensure that they can wait until they get home.

By that time, an astrologer who was working on a manuscript had already fallen asleep, so it would not affect her work.

Along the way, they passed many acquaintances whom they had met only once.

There was Adeline, the head maid from Morningside Winery who came to Mondstadt to do some shopping, Quen who was about to close the stall after selling the fruit, and the two young lovers who met on the Star Cliff, Maven and Mara.

Maven, who had seemed a bit cowardly before, actually looked a little more masculine now, and Mara seemed much more proactive than then.

The girl held her sweetheart's arm and wandered along the street, not caring about the sight of the people around her.

It seems that the dragon disaster completely broke down the barrier between the two and escalated their relationship again.

Mara put her long hair on her boyfriend's shoulders and scolded Marvin for his carelessness in the Wind Flower Festival project.

Ma Wen, who had been complained a few times by his girlfriend, did not look angry at all on his face. Instead, he was enjoying the unobstructed way of communicating.

The atmosphere of freedom and love symbolized by the Wind Flower Festival makes their speech and behavior much bolder.

"Hey, baby, it was my fault just now."

"Who are you calling baby, you damn ghost?"

The lovers passing by didn't recognize Bai Qiyun and the others at all, and walked away talking disgusting love words until they disappeared on the street corner.

Good guy, this time I went out and before I had finished digesting my dinner, I was stuffed with another mouthful of fresh dog food. It really made me don’t know what to say.

While Bai Qiyun was stunned by the lovers' words, the girls on the other side reacted very quickly.

Ying gently held Paimon's little hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and imitated Maven's tone just now.

"Baby, it was my fault just now."

On the other side, Paimon's reaction was also very quick, and he immediately restored the essence of Mara's expression just now.

Three points of tension, seven points of tenderness.

"Who are you calling baby, you damn ghost?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two guys started to tremble with smiles, leaving Bai Qiyun speechless for a while.

"Hey, it's very impolite to imitate what others say behind their back."

After being taught a few words by the boy, Ying stuck out her tongue at Bai Qiyun, followed Paimon and ran away.

Is this guy a child?

————

On the grass outside the city, Paimeng was chewing the snacks she had just bought from the street. She didn't know how her belly, which didn't look big, could hold so many snacks.

Looking at the young man's profile, Ying tilted her head slightly.

"Are you still worried about what Yura said?"

Although what happened at the Chamber of Commerce had nothing to do with a few people, it still made Bai Qiyun a little concerned.

If some gentler measures could have been taken at that time, or if we had noticed something was wrong with Granny earlier and launched an investigation, would the outcome have changed, and the little girl we had never met would not have lost her life?

Father.

Every time he thought of this, Bai Qiyun could only sigh deeply to relieve the depression in his heart.

"That's right. It always feels like too much of a coincidence. Moreover, if we count this matter from the end of the dragon disaster, it may have been about two months. The amount involved is probably an astronomical figure, and the clues are even more complicated.

, even if the Knights want to investigate, they probably won’t be able to find a clue for a while.”

I'm afraid that the reason why Youra drank too much in the tavern was not only because of her family affairs, but also because of recent unsatisfactory work conditions.

Speaking of which, if someone splashes water on your face, you won't be happy about it.

Thinking of what he did to Yura during the Adventurers Association project, Bai Qiyun suddenly understood why the other party didn't look good on him.

I'm afraid it would be the same if it were him.

"Since you care so much, why not be generous and go help her directly."

With a lively sound, the scout knight jumped out of the grass on one side, startling several people.

"What the hell, it turns out to be Amber."

Paimon, who almost lost his grip on the snack, steadied his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

The little guy looked at the person who came, and saw the fiery red girl knight standing alone under the big tree, looking very leisurely.

As expected of a scout knight, Bai Qiyun, who has always been extremely perceptive, was not even aware of his ability to hide his figure.

But compared to Amber's excellent professional skills, he cared more about what the girl just said.

"You mean Yula needs help? That guy looks so strong, how could he accept our help?"

Although the time they got together was still short, Bai Qiyun's understanding of Youra was not superficial. He had really explored her personality and life experience.

The old nobleman Lawrence was the chief culprit of Mondstadt's Dark Age thousands of years ago. After being expelled by the great hero Vanessa, Lawrence's people became unpopular in Mondstadt, and could even be said to be disgusted.

It is easy to imagine that Yula, who grew up under such circumstances, is not an easy person to get along with, not to mention that the relationship between the two is not very close now, so rash intervention will only be counterproductive.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hey, although Yura is a good person, she does seem a bit awkward in her temperament, but we can start somewhere else."

"Somewhere else?"

"Yes, for some well-known reasons, most of the tasks that require communication with others are left to her subordinates, so we just need to ask Gaza."

Amber said the harsh words with a matter-of-fact expression, which made Bai Qiyun blush.

But then again, it turns out that the influence of being an old noble cannot be eliminated even if you are a knight of the west wind.

"If that's the case, then it doesn't hurt for us to go there."

Bai Qiyun nodded and agreed with Amber's proposal.

As long as he is not allowed to deal with that eccentric woman.

————

"So you came to find me?"

Looking at the few people who suddenly visited him, Gaza lowered his head and thought for a while, then gave everyone a big smile.

"No problem, after all, there is strength in numbers."

Seeing that Gaza agreed, Amber, who brought everyone over without permission to intervene in official duties, was relieved. It would have been embarrassing if he had been rejected.

"Then, tell us the specific investigation situation."

In a house in Mondstadt, everyone gathered together and listened to Gaza's account of the investigation of the incident.

It turns out that since the death of Granny, the already turbulent power struggle within the Chamber of Commerce has become more and more intense. The functions previously controlled by Gruny were delegated to three people. It was precisely under the handling of these few people.

One after another, money disappeared.

But when the knights conducted an in-depth investigation, they found that this matter was very strange. It was obvious that Mora was missing a lot, but there was no trace of it. The records and procedures in the ledger were all complete and correctly numbered.

This made everyone in the Knights feel a little confused.

Is it possible that this Mora can still grow wings and fly?

"Why does it feel like it doesn't sound like a case, but more like a suspense story?"

Bai Qiyun became more and more confused as he listened. The authorities did not investigate clearly whether the methods of these businessmen were really that powerful.

Fortunately, Chenxi Winery and the Chamber of Commerce are inextricably linked. Perhaps because they are afraid that Diluc will pursue it, the disappearing payment from the Chamber of Commerce has nothing to do with the business of the winery. This can be regarded as blocking it from another level.

The possibility of Diluc's intervention was raised.

The impact on the wine industry in Mondstadt was not great.

"You saw the person Yula followed today, right? He is one of the three suspects. He is responsible for purchasing, while the other two are responsible for transportation and sales. As long as there is a problem with one of these three links

, can affect the operation process of the entire chamber of commerce."

After chatting for a while, Gaza took out a few exquisite teacups from the cabinet and handed several cups of hot water to several people as a gesture of friendship.

While drinking hot water, Bai Qiyun was thinking about where to start.

The three people are responsible for different functions. According to common sense, the transportation part is least likely to have an impact on the overall situation, while the other two may have greater problems.

And the most important thing is whether these three people are acting together. If the three of them are really determined to be tied together, the difficulty of the investigation will be doubled, and there will be no inside information at all.

If we really want to investigate the Chamber of Commerce...
