8 Chapter 8 Mission

Taking the power of attorney, Zhou Xin and Elfman found the client's home according to the address on the power of attorney.

The client is an old woman with silver frost.After seeing that the two were still children, the old lady first entertained them warmly, and then began to talk about the commission.

"The ring itself is not valuable, it is a very ordinary kind of ring. But it is different to me." The old woman sat on a chair with a sweet smile of memories and said: "At that time, I was young, my old man. It's just an ordinary poor boy..."

While talking, the old woman’s voice gradually became smaller and smaller until she finally fell into the memory. Zhou Xin and Elfman looked at each other, just when Zhou Xin wanted to interrupt her memory. At that time, Elfman immediately stopped Zhou Xin.When Zhou Xin turned to look at him, he did not explain, just shook his head gently.

The two waited for a long time, until the sun was already a little bit sinking, the old grandma’s memories ended. Only then did she remember that she was introducing the ring to the two, and smiled to Zhou Xin and Ai. Elfman said: "I'm sorry, people love to remember the past when they are old."

"It's okay, we didn't wait long." After hearing the words of the old grandma, Elfman didn't want the old man to blame himself, and immediately shook his head and denied it.

It’s just that this old man has gone through many years of life experience. How could he not know that Elfman was lying, so he smiled and stroked the heads of Zhou Xin and Elfman and said, "They are really two kind and good children. That ring was the wedding ring used when I married my old man. Although it is not valuable, it has special meaning to me.

"Then, grandma. When did you see the ring last?" Seeing the old man finally being able to answer questions normally, Zhou Xin immediately asked the old man for proof.

"Ah, that was before dinner the other day. I was going to have dinner, so I took the ring off. The next morning, when I wanted to take it out and bring it on, I forgot where I put it the night before. Hey~, I have looked for a place where I used to put the ring, but I didn’t find it. That’s why I posted a commission, just to ask you to help me find the ring.” Seeing Zhou Xin asked, the old man talked about the ring from beginning to end Again.

"That is to say, the ring is in this house, and it has not been lost elsewhere." After listening to the old man's explanation, Zhou Xin was stunned, which made it easier to find.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xin asked: "Then grandma, what is the layout of this house? Where do you usually put the ring?"

"This house has two floors, and there are four houses on the second floor. Two of them are used by my son and daughter, and the other two are guest rooms. On the left side of the first floor is the kitchen, bathroom and toilet, and on the right are me and the old man. There is also a utility room for sundries in his bedroom and study, and the basement is for storing things that are not usually used, and there is also a wine cellar." The old woman smiled and told the two of the layout of the house. Once again, then he said: "Usually, I have a habit of reading before going to bed, so the ring is usually placed in the bedroom and occasionally in the study."

"That's it." Zhou Xin nodded and said: "You have already found a place where you usually put your ring. So the possibility of the bedroom and study is the smallest. Then what did you do during the time before dinner that day? Have you been to those local?"

"This." The old man recalled with some hesitation: "Before preparing to cook dinner, the room upstairs has been uncleaned for a long time because it suddenly rang, so I simply cleaned it. In order to clean the room. , Took out the tools for cleaning the room from the utility room. After the cleaning, there were some people on my body, so I took another bath. I rested for a while, and then I started to make dinner. By the way, when I make dinner, because I need to use When the wine came, I went to the cellar and took out a bottle of wine."

Zhou Xin heard what the old man said,

"Wait a minute, Elfman." Seeing Elfman's movements, Zhou Xin immediately stopped him: "You used to do most of the previous tasks. This time, I should do it again."

"Huh? But when are you going to find such a big place alone." When Elfman heard Zhou Xin's words, he suddenly said with some confusion: "It's better for the two of us to look for it faster."

"Don't worry, I am already a C-level wizard, of course, I have to use magic to solve the problem. Come with me, I will let you see my magic." After speaking, Zhou Xin opened the door and went to the street outside. Then he moved a chair to support the easel, and drew the old man's house on the paper stroke by stroke.

"Ou Yo~, the painting is very similar, it's amazing." After a few strokes, the house where the old man lives quickly appeared on the screen.At this moment, the old man stood beside Zhou Xin and praised with a smile.

After watching Zhou Xin's painting completely, Elfman asked in a puzzled manner: "What then? What should I do next?"

"Then..." Zhou Xin put down the paintbrush in his hand and activated his own magic power. When the drawing paper flashed through a magic circle, the house in the whole picture was connected with the house where the old man lived in reality.Then, under Zhou Xin's operation, the whole painting starts to move like a game in the first person perspective.

First of all, under the control of Zhou Xin, the whole picture entered the old man's house, then turned left to the kitchen, and searched every corner of the kitchen.Just less than a minute later, the entire kitchen was thoroughly searched.

"It seems that the ring is not in the kitchen." After that, Zhou Xin took control of the scene and entered the bathroom. There was not much place to look for in the bathroom. Basically, he could read it all at a glance.

Immediately afterwards, he moved to the utility room. The stuff in the utility room was so complicated that it took time to find it. Even so, it only took less than ten minutes to find the entire utility room.

When the second floor and basement were searched, it only took half an hour.However, although it was quick to find it, there was no trace of the ring.

"What's the matter? I have searched where I should be, why can't I find it?" Zhou Xin suddenly became confused.

"Could it be in the study or bedroom, just dropped under the bed or under the cabinet?" At this moment, Elfman guessed.

"Probably not, the old grandmother under the bed and under the cabinet should have looked for it herself." Hearing Elfman's guess, Zhou Xin shook his head slightly.At the same time, the old man also nodded to confirm Zhou Xin's statement.

However, immediately afterwards, Zhou Xin said: "But sometimes the eyes of the elderly are often not as good as they were when they were young. Maybe they really missed something. To be on the safe side, let's look it up again."

With that said, Zhou Xin manipulated the screen to search in the study and bedroom.

Indeed, there is absolutely nothing on the surface, under the bed and under the cabinet.However, when the fat man moved the entire bed and the nightstand away, he found that the ring was stuck between the two pieces of furniture.

"It turned out to be in the gap between the bed and the bedside table." Seeing the ring falling on the ground in the picture, the old grandma suddenly looked bright, and the scene of putting the ring on that night also reappeared in her mind.

The ring has been found, and the old man happily signed the mission.

After Zhou Xin left the painting to the old man, he and Elfman said goodbye to the old man and returned to the guild before it was dark.
