Chapter 1409: The Police Arrive

Monica's heart tightened, instinctively leaning toward Tristan. She felt uneasy and said, "Is today not a good day? Why do we keep encountering these things?"

Tristan glanced at her, unsure of what to say, "Don't worry, everything happens for a reason. I'm here, so you won't face this."

He, too, felt that today was somewhat inauspicious.

The air seemed filled with something that made people anxious and uneasy, and there was an indistinct sense of foreboding.

"However, our town is usually very safe. You can even leave your doors unlocked at night."

The innkeeper, carrying their luggage, reassured them, "You don't need to worry too much. This might just be a prank between lovers. The girl might have hidden herself on purpose to test her boyfriend's love for her. Young people nowadays don't know their limits, and sometimes they go too far."

"Pranks should have their limits!" Monica disapproved, criticizing, "If that's true, then that girl must be out of her mind! The police are already here! Don't they have enough to do?"

The innkeeper didn't say anything more, perhaps realizing that this wasn't an ordinary prank.

As they walked, Tristan observed their surroundings. With his wide experience, he knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.

The fact that the police were involved meant it wasn't just a lovers' prank.

The town attracted many tourists and some business people, so there was always a mix of characters.

Furthermore, there was a bar street on the other side of the river, and all kinds of people might appear at night.

Pretty young girls, under various unfortunate circumstances, could easily be hurt. It was a matter of luck.

"Please follow me; your reserved inn is over there, about three minutes away." The innkeeper reminded them, hoping they wouldn't have a bad impression of the town. Tristan and Monica followed him.

Along the way, they saw police officers investigating and heard murmurs and gossip from the townspeople-

"Disappearing in broad daylight, could she have entered a black hole?"

"Maybe she was taken by a ghost? After all, similar things happened ten years ago."

"There are no ghosts in this world!"

An older person said, "There are some things that it's better to believe they exist than not."

"Disappearing like this, it's very possible that she was targeted by a criminal gang. It's not impossible that her organs were harvested for the black market." Another person shared their opinion. Hearing this, Monica shivered, feeling a chill down her spine.

Tristan put his arm around her shoulders, and she instinctively leaned closer. Monica looked at him and asked, "How can someone just disappear without a trace?"

"The police will definitely replace an answer without stirring up public opinion," Tristan said. "Justice will prevail, and I hope the girl is safe."

"Yeah!" She sighed deeply, "Women will always be a vulnerable group."

As they walked, Tristan glanced at her and asked, "So, you're scared after hearing this news?"

"I've always been easily frightened," she admitted. "When I was little, I read 'One Hundred Thousand Whys,' and when I saw stuff about aliens, I was too scared to go outside at night! As soon as it got dark, I felt wrapped in fear, as if aliens were about to abduct me!"

So that was it? Tristan's lips curled into a smile and looked away.

Police officers were still investigating nearby, making the situation seem anything but ordinary.

Different people continued to discuss their theories, each more far-fetched than the last. The conversation had escalated to supernatural levels, making listeners feel cold sweats.

Walking along, Tristan suddenly stopped and let go of her hand.
