Andel's daughter died three years ago...
Then why did he find Jarvan IV during this period of time, tell him that his wife and daughter were missing in the wheat field, and found the pendant she always wore?
So, does his so-called daughter really exist, or is she just a fabrication by him?
If she really exists, then is the strange little girl captured by the drone and who is very similar to Andel's description her so-called daughter?
Moreover, during the recent time they had spent together since arriving in Hengfeng Village from Lunwall, everyone had discovered that this man was actually not mentally stable.
Sometimes he would wake up from a nightmare, dazed and shouting loudly, as if trying to drive away something.
Sometimes he would mumble incoherently in an inaudible language, as if he was trying to communicate with some "existence".
But when he was in good spirits, once asked about related matters, he would always look confused and had no recollection of what he had done.
Li Lin also used "data-based thinking" to check Andel's condition, but his [Personal Status Bar] only had a mild description of "schizophrenia" and there was nothing abnormal.
After Li Lin communicated with Jarvan IV and considered comprehensively, he decided to send someone to guard him.
What's going on with his daughter?
What happened to his missing wife?
Or maybe she wasn't missing at all?
What does the disappearance of the villagers of Hengfeng Village have to do with their family?
Everything seems shrouded in fog.
Even Li Lin felt extremely confused about this and could no longer believe that these things were related to Fiddlesticks.
The only thing he could be sure of at the moment was that Andel was lying.
As for the reason why this mentally ill man lied...it is still unknown.
The campfire in the center of the camp fell into silence for a long time, with only the crackling sound of firewood burning in the flames.
Yin Xiduo was stared at with strange looks by everyone present, and he couldn't help but shiver, with an awkward yet polite smile on his face.
To be on the safe side, Li Lin used "data-driven thinking" to check his identity information and found nothing unusual.
"Tell us more about Andel. It seems you know him well." Jarvan IV asked in a deep voice.
"To be precise, all the villagers in Hengfeng Village know him very well, Your Highness."
Yin Xiduo obviously wanted to know what had happened in his home, but because of Jarvan IV's questioning, he temporarily suppressed his anxiety and explained to everyone respectfully.
"Andel and his wife Natalie are very much in love. They got married about... ten years ago, right? At that time, it had only been a few years since King Jarvan III led the Fearless Vanguard to pacify the border.
“Soon after they got married they had a daughter whom they named Jean.
"Andel's family didn't live a wealthy life, working from sunrise to sunset, but they gave Qin a happy childhood...
"This beauty lasted until the seventh summer, when Qin's seventh naming day arrived, which was three years ago."
Yin Xiduo shook his head and sighed, and even his anxious tone calmed down, with a hint of regret.
"That day, Qin was playing with other children in the village. Perhaps because she didn't want to be found, she went into the forest leading to the mountains alone..."
Li Lin had almost guessed what would happen next.
“Although there are no dangerous large carnivorous beasts on the southwest side of Eternal Peak, we generally don’t let children go up the mountain alone.
"Just as we feared, Jean didn't come back."
Yin Xiduo shook his head and sighed, then continued, "The children discovered Qin's disappearance and quickly informed her parents. The village chief organized a group of people to go up the mountain to look for Qin. They searched until late at night before they found her... body."
"How did Jean die?" Jarvan IV asked quickly.
This is also the issue that Li Lin is most concerned about.
Yin Xiduo hesitated for a few seconds, his face quite conflicted, "This..."
"Do you have something to hide?"
The experienced Barrett saw his worry at a glance.
"Now that you have met His Royal Highness Prince Jarvan IV, no matter who threatens you, His Royal Highness will protect you, and our Bouvier family will also make the decision for you. You don't have to worry about anything."
"You, you are actually Lord Buville?!" Yin Xiduo's eyes widened. "Without you and the Illuminator's help, I, I would never have had the chance to leave Hengfeng Village..."
"Helping the weak and the poor is our responsibility, and this is also the governing philosophy that King Jarvan III has always upheld."
Barrett chuckled and waved his hand casually.
"But now, you should tell us the whole story. This way, we can get enough details to help us deal with the strange things happening in Hengfeng Village."
"You, you are right!"
Yin Xiduo quickly suppressed his excitement and reopened the secrets of this dusty past.
"We found Qin's body on the west slope of Eternal Peak... She was lying in a pool of blood that had already solidified. She was murdered."
Li Lin and the others frowned slightly at the same time.
"There was a fatal wound on her neck, which had severed her throat and trachea with great precision. It was not something an ordinary person could do.
"Besides, there seems to be a phenomenon of intentionally clearing away traces of people passing through the mountain."
"Is this a Noxian scout team?" Jarvan IV had already clenched his fists. "Only these bloody and violent barbarians would commit such a heinous act as to kill children!"
