As soon as the Duke said this, the rest of the people present seemed a little surprised.

Youni bypassed Elena, who was standing in front of her, and looked up at the Duke, "Does the Duke know me?"

The sudden question, as well as the more peaceful tone compared to his attitude towards Giotto, have to make people suspicious.

However, compared to whether the Duke knew her, Yuni was more inclined that he had met the Miko of Kirionello.

Like the Vengley family, the original Kirionello was also named after the leader's surname, but these are not the point.

The most important thing is that the Miko Kirionello at this time has not yet established a self-defense group like Pengo Lie, but belongs to a family that is hidden from outsiders.

In any case it was impossible for the Duke to recognize her as a member of the Quilionello family by the markings on her face.

As if realizing his mistake in speaking, the Duke turned his head indifferently, "I don't know him, I just think it's ridiculous for a gangster leader to come here to participate in the salon and bring a brat to eat and drink with him."

The eyelids drooped slightly, half covering the thoughts in them, Yoni didn't mind the harsh words from the Duke's mouth, they were nothing compared to everything she had encountered before.

If he really thought so in his heart, he would never have asked her that way just now.

What she cared more about was that the Duke just lied.

At that moment, he clearly showed the attitude of knowing her, or seeing someone very similar to her.

But he quickly covered up that strangeness, and diverted their attention with mocking and indifferent words.

Youni hesitated slightly. The ancestor a hundred years ago has not yet become Alcbareno. Even if she searches for it now, she will not get any results. It is better to wait for the time to come.

In fact, the moment she saw D. Spedo, she seemed to understand why she appeared in this era.

In the past that was buried under history in the early days of Vongola's establishment, Giotto met Spedo through Elena, and the prototype of Vongola's leader and its six guardians has emerged.

Then the part of the cornerstone belonging to Vengley should also appear soon.

"Father, please don't say these things to my friends again." Elena said with a firm and resolute expression.

The Duke's face turned ugly, he turned his footsteps in the direction of Youni, then gave a heavy cold snort, turned and left.

Sky blue eyes looked thoughtfully at the back of the Duke leaving, just like Youni, Giotto also noticed the strangeness of the Duke.

...He seems to know Youni, and he seems to be afraid of something.

His intuition since he was a child told him that the Duke just wanted to provoke him and tell him to leave here quickly, but the strangeness he could not help showing when facing Youni might be related to the incident they have been investigating recently.

"...Giotto, Giotto?" The gentle female voice called out to him several times.

Giotto withdrew his mind and smiled gently: "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Elena clasped her hands and kneaded her fingers in embarrassment, "No, I should be the one saying sorry. I didn't expect my father to be so disgusted."

Obviously the Duke didn't ask about Elena's funding of the Self-Defense Corps before, or even took an attitude of indifference, but today he didn't know why he suddenly stepped forward to stop it.

From this point of view, today's salon can't go on, the original plan will be temporarily terminated, Elena sighed softly.

……

"Are you scared?" On the way back, Giotto asked Yuni with his head down.

She shook her head and hesitated, "Did Mr. Giotto find something?"

The girl's voice was small, and it would disappear into the sound of horseshoes outside if you didn't pay attention, but Giotto could hear it clearly, and he held his chin, "Did Youni listen to Aunt Mary these days, don't you go out at night?" ?”

Hailan's eyes flickered a few times, and Youni nodded suspiciously, "Yes, the kerosene lamp is too dim after nightfall, and I go to bed early these days."

Thinking along Giotto's words, Aunt Mary's dignified look when she told her not to go out at night flashed in my mind, and Youni asked softly, "It's the town, what will happen at night?"

Giotto pondered for a moment, "Something is going to happen."

In the past half a month, people have disappeared for several nights in a row, and they are all young girls, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Some disappeared on the street, others at home, and the only thing they had in common was that they were young, unmarried girls and that they disappeared at night.

Although Yoni's age is not within the scope of missing girls, and he looks very young and childish, he should not be among the prisoners who hunt girls, but——

"Is it convenient for Youni to save G and I a floor to sleep tonight?" Giotto pondered for a while, and asked with a straight face.

Before Youni could understand Giotto's meaning, the unbelievable voice of G who was driving outside the car came back, "Giotto, don't you mean you want to sleep in Youni's room tonight?"

What on earth is he thinking? Youni is still an unmarried girl after all. If you open the door to take him in for a night, how can he have a good reputation in the small town.

"It's what you think, and it's not just me but you, G." Giotto poked his head out of the window and said to G with a smile.

Realizing that Giotto wasn't joking, G frowned, "Is it Yoni what will happen tonight?"

Giotto is not the kind of unscrupulous person, he would make such a request, there must be his reasons.

"I'm actually not sure if it's tonight, but..."

"I seem to have found someone related to the missing girl in the town for the past half a month." Giotto covered his lips, his eyes dropped to meet Yuni's gaze.

"Is that person's next target me?" Youni looked at Giotto calmly and calmly. His blue eyes were completely different from his, and they were as beautiful as the sea.

Hearing such words, Yoni did not show a look of fear. Compared with what she had experienced before, just being a possible target was nothing more than pediatrics.

Giotto reached out and rubbed Youni's hair, and pressed her head with his broad palm, making her squint her eyes and look up at him carefully.

"Don't be afraid, we will protect you." Like an oath, Giotto had a bright and reassuring smile on his face.

Youni blinked and curled the corners of his mouth, "I see."

Giotto's plan is actually very simple, that is to take G and wait in Uni's room.

In addition, he also notified an important helper.

A friend who accidentally went to Sicily because of the investigation of the case. He is a friend who is barely acquainted with Giotto. The case he is currently investigating is also the most recent case of inexplicable disappearances of girls in the town.

The town where Giotto and the others are located is not the first place where young girls go missing, but it is the place where missing girls are most frequent. This may also have something to do with the already unstable security here.

Lian Na, the first missing girl in the small town, disappeared one night half a month ago when she went out to fetch water.

After that, Giotto and the others have been looking for and tracking down their whereabouts. They haven't attended Elena's salon party for more than half a month. They came today because Elena said that there is something important to tell them, please be sure to show respect.

Giotto had a vague premonition that some clues might be found in this salon, but he didn't expect that it would be fulfilled in the Duke.

The Duke had never appeared in front of Giotto before, even though Elena held various salons in the villa many times, but this time he appeared.

As the richest and most powerful Duke in the town, even the police don't pay attention to him, his arrogance and disdain are no surprise.

But what he said to Yoni was really weird.

The Duke didn't even want to pay attention to Giotto, who was quite famous in the town. If he hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him, he would only belittle the Self-Defense Corps when he was talking to Elena, and he would never talk to Giotto directly.

When that flaw was exposed, it seemed that the Duke's words just now were irritating Giotto, forcing him to leave here immediately, and even the Duke's sneering words afterwards could not dispel Giotto's doubts.

The Duke's changed attitude was very suspicious, and the super intuitive also told Giotto that he seemed to be hiding something that he didn't want them to know, so he desperately wanted them to leave the villa.

G tilted his head, his hands were quite steady, and he didn't make the carriage bump at all, "Giotto, do you know who captured Lianna and the others?"

In the past half a month, anyone with a girl at home in the small town can't feel at ease. The members of the self-defense group can't catch anyone no matter how they patrol, even if they stay at home and don't go out, they will disappear.

If it weren't for Youni's age being two or three years younger than the missing girl, the members of the Self-Defense Corps would not have dared to let her out and walk around. Even so, at night, they would have made her turn off the lights and go to bed early.

Do not come out when you hear any sound or see any strange things, and call for help when encountering trouble.

That's what the rest of the girls in town do, but girls of the right age still go missing every once in a while.

The people in the self-defense group are also very worried about this.

Giotto saw the place where the girl disappeared, and he suddenly asked, "G, do you think there will be superpowers in the world?"

"Huh?" G showed a look of astonishment, "Giotto, are you serious?"

"I'm not joking about this kind of thing. It seems that there are people with special abilities who use some unknown method to quietly transfer people away." Giotto looked focused and looked down at the corner Inconspicuous marks everywhere.

He remembered this place, there was no such mark before.

When Thomson and the others were graffitiing at the base of the wall yesterday, there was clearly no sign of the six-pointed star here.

"If we really have that ability, how do we catch people?" G frowned, his voice low.

"If you can know the opponent's next goal, the incident should be much simpler." Giotto fell into deep thought.

The question now is how do they know the criteria for selecting targets by the person behind them, and who will be targeted next?
