Agricultural area, holiday and leisure community.

There are many exquisite and beautiful small villas built here, which are significantly different from the old wooden houses in other parts of the agricultural area.

In the urban area of ​​Xinlan, many wealthy people like to buy a property in this area so that they can spend the winter there and enjoy the snow scenery.

Rachel's family was no exception. When the weather just turned cold, they all moved to this country home together, bringing their pets along.

However, since arriving in the countryside, the parrot named Tiger has become less interested in eating, as if it has not adapted to the local climate. But if you let it speak, it can still amuse people as usual.

During the day, when Rachel's parents returned to the city to participate in various activities held to commemorate the triumphant return of the foundation's heroes, Rachel also went to school.

The parrot, which had always been locked in a cage and never released, suddenly used its claws to open the cage in a very human manner, and flapped its colorful wings, avoiding the servants who were resting downstairs, and flew out of the building.

It seemed to have a very clear goal. It spread its wings and glided above the agricultural area, eventually landing at the home of the tax collector near the area.

After tapping lightly on the window glass with its sharp beak, the tax collector, who came from the Grand Duke's family and was a distant relative of the Stuart family, opened the window from the inside with a look of panic, knelt on the ground, and greeted the parrot in a more solemn manner than when he had greeted the Grand Duke.

"Red, Master Red."

He didn't call out Tiger, but instead called out a word that was supposed to indicate a color.

The parrot named Red seemed to be used to this. It jumped lightly from the windowsill to the tax collector's head, then turned around and jumped back onto the large desk in the middle of the study.

"Have you prepared the food I asked you to prepare?"

It spoke human words, but it was no longer the funny voice and tone it had at Rachel's house before. Instead, it was a cold female voice.

It didn't sound like a parrot at all, but more like a real person! The tax officer knelt on the ground and moved to the side of the parrot with a flattering look on his face.

"Your orders are my will! Those children are locked up in the basement. I specially found a human resources company and bought them for you. I will take you there right now?"

"No need, I know the way, just wait here, I have something to ask you after you're full."

"yes!"

The parrot flew away, and the tax collector knelt on the ground respectfully with his butt sticking out, with no intention of standing up at all.

He didn't have to wait long, about twenty minutes, and then Lord Hong flew back.

But compared to before it came back, its sharp beak was covered with blood, and the spots dripped all the way from the basement to the upstairs, looking so shocking!

The tax officer lowered his head even lower, not daring to look at the evil bird that was lazily combing its feathers after eating and drinking! "These ones are a bit old, not very tender. Pay attention to picking smaller ones next time."

"It's my fault for not treating you well enough!"

"Okay, I have something serious to ask you. Why did that Hake family have an extra person these past two days? Do you know his background?"

"Yes. The police investigated all the information about the young man as soon as he met Hake. The man's name is Wu Wei, an Iris. He lived in the academy in the East District since he was a child. After the academy was destroyed, he began to travel around the world and became a traveler. These two days, he took the same train with the people from the Foundation and came to Xinlan!"

“College.”

I don’t know why, but after hearing these two words, Lord Hong’s voice became particularly gloomy and cold.

The emotion contained in it made the tax officer kneeling on the ground shiver uncontrollably, his heart tensed to the extreme.

"That's really a place that makes people feel bad just by hearing the name."

Red Lord muttered to himself, then continued to ask.

"Have you investigated how he knew Huck?"

"The police sent someone to investigate yesterday, and learned from Ha Ke's parents that the young man named Wu Wei was staying at Ha Ke's house. He was responsible for teaching Ha Ke's sister to read, and Ha Ke's family provided him with food and lodging."

"How can it be such a coincidence that he just came to Xinlan and moved directly into the home of a key figure. This guy's identity is definitely questionable, and his purpose is not simple."

"Is there anything I can do for you, my lord?"

"As the tax collector of Xinlan and the most loyal lackey of the Council of Elders, if you find a suspicious person in your jurisdiction and he is in contact with the target that the police are currently monitoring, shouldn't you report it to the higher-ups and bring some trouble to that suspicious person?"

After saying this, Lord Hong spread his wings again, flew up from the desk, and flew out of the study.

"I see!"

In the agricultural area, the powerful tax collector still knelt on the ground and did not get up, but responded loudly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When the sky slowly starts to darken and night falls.

Rachel and her family returned to the western-style building in the agricultural area.

As soon as she got home, Rachel excitedly took a bag of newly bought nuts and a plate of cut fruits and placed them in front of the parrot.

But Tiger, who obviously liked these foods before, now acted as if he saw some junk food. He just ignored them and lazily combed his tail feathers.

This made Rachel scream in sadness.

"Mom! Tiger still doesn't want to eat!"

Levi has been staying at Huck's house for almost a week.

Not only did Huck's family gradually get used to him, but even the neighbors knew that Huck's family had a traveler staying here. When they had nothing to do, they would let their children come here more often to visit, take classes with Julia, and see the world.

It has only been less than a few days, but Levi already seems to be on his way to becoming the leader among the kids.

But Levi didn't hate it either. He just liked to play with children when he had nothing to do.

That night, just as Huck's mother was preparing dinner, someone suddenly knocked on their door.

Huck came back and, before he even got warm on his stool, he got up and opened the door. Then he saw the two police officers standing outside.

Seeing the blue uniform, Huck subconsciously became alert.

"Sir, who are you looking for at this late hour?"

"Wu Wei, is he staying at your house?"
