The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 3507 Research on Cats and Dogs (Fifty-Five)

While Yoden was talking to the police, Aisha tugged at Schiller's sleeve. They walked out of the back door together and stood in front of the window facing the backyard.

"I don't think he's a good person." Aisha concluded first.

"I think so too." Schiller nodded and said, "But it doesn't matter. We are not here to find him. It would be nice if he could provide us with a place to stay."

"Why do you think so?" Schiller asked again.

"I can't explain it, I just feel like he's a little neurotic." Aisha shook her head and said, "From his appearance, he should be a shy nerd. But would someone who is not good at socializing really invite strangers to live in his home?"

"Also, although he didn't show it, he had an inexplicable excitement. The way he looked at me was also strange." Aisha rubbed her arms with her hands, and then said, "His sister looks about my age. Does he have some strange habit?"

"It's not that complicated," Schiller said. "From the fact that he said he liked my theory, I knew he was not a good person."

"why?"

"How can someone who likes psychoanalysis be a good person?"

“…That makes sense.”

Schiller accompanied Aisha on the swing in the backyard. After talking to the police, Yoten came over, fingers crossed, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Schiller looked at him, "Why are the police here? Are you in trouble?"

"Nothing." Yoton shook his head and said, "Because the place where the alien spacecraft was witnessed was the wheat field of my farm. There are often outsiders hanging around. The police came to remind me to pay attention to safety and told me not to go out casually recently."

"That's exactly what it should be." Schiller nodded, as if he agreed. "The appearance of a new face in a small town should make the police very nervous. When I came here, the police stopped me and specifically told me to be careful."

"Have you run into the police before?" Yoton's voice cracked. He immediately realized something, cleared his throat and said, "They were indeed a little too nervous. I don't think they did anything to you, did they?"

"No. My daughter said she was looking for aliens, so the police didn't ask any more questions. But he did mention that some people seemed to be missing recently. Do you know what happened?"

"Oh, yes," replied Jotun, "I heard about it, but I haven't been to town recently, so I don't know what it's all about."

Schiller nodded. Elsa stopped swinging, looked at Schiller and said, "Dad, I'm a little hungry!"

Schiller patted her head and said, "Then let's go to the car and get some food."

Schiller did prepare some food in the car, but they were just snacks to appease Aisha, nothing that could be used as a staple food. He said this just to see Yodon's attitude.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Yodon took two steps forward and said, "You are my guests. If you still eat the food you brought with you, it would seem that I am not hosting you well enough."

"There is a large vegetable garden on my farm. It is the harvest season recently, and I picked a lot of fresh vegetables. My cooking skills are also pretty good. I think I can show you some of my skills..."

"This is too much trouble." Schiller refused. He said, "You have kindly invited us to stay overnight and saved us the accommodation fee. It would be too rude to ask you to cook."

"It's okay. I really like studying cooking." Yodon smiled and said, "I'll go pick the vegetables. It will be ready soon."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the warehouse, as if he was afraid that Schiller would regret it. Schiller and Aisha looked at each other.

Seeing that Yoden had completely disappeared, Schiller whispered to Aisha, "Go and get me the small box on the far right side of the trunk. There are dangerous items in it. Don't open it, and don't break it."

Elsa nodded, ran across the house, around the front yard to the garage, took a small black box out of the trunk, and ran back quickly.

Schiller took the box and put it in his windbreaker pocket. Aisha asked curiously, "What is this?"

Schiller shook his head and said without specifying anything, "This is a weapon that may be used later."

"You really should practice shooting, professor. Having a pistol can solve all the troubles at this time." Aisha shrugged.

"That may not be the case. Without a silencer it makes too much noise, but with a silencer it's hard to carry around. If someone steals it, we're done for."

"That's amazing," Aisha exclaimed. "I never knew you knew so much about firearms, Professor."

Hearing that Aisha was joking, Schiller patted her head. Aisha smiled at him.

They walked back into the house and sat down on the sofa, but saw through the window a police car parked in front of the house.

"Guess who's coming this time?" Schiller asked.

“It should be a real policeman.”

"You think it wasn't real before?"

"Of course not." Elsa shook her head and said, "Uncle James said that American police must work in pairs when performing any field missions other than daily patrols. Especially when approaching a resident's house, if one person knocks on the door, another person must be on guard nearby, otherwise it is a violation of police code."

"Everyone knows this rule. Even a swindler who wants to impersonate a police officer will find a partner, a team of two. Otherwise, no one will open the door for him."

"It was strange that the male police officer came alone before. And it was even more strange that Yodon dared to open the door after seeing the situation."

"How clever," Schiller praised.

There was a knock on the door, but the owner of the house was not at home, so Schiller had to go and open the door.

The police outside the door saw that the person who opened the door was not the owner of the house, and immediately pulled out his gun. Schiller quickly stretched out his hands to indicate: "We are tourists who came here to play. Mr. Yoton invited me and my daughter to stay here. He went to the warehouse to get something and will be back soon."

Seeing that there was a little girl behind Schiller, the police not only did not relax his vigilance, but waved his gun and asked Schiller to stay away.

Aisha walked up to the police. The female police officer behind her came up and asked her about the details. After learning that Aisha and Schiller were indeed father and daughter, the police put away their guns.

After learning that Schiller was a university professor, they were even more relieved. The people in the central states were relatively simple, and the more lacking in educational resources, the more they respected intellectuals.

The policewoman shook hands with Schiller and said, "The town has been a bit chaotic lately. It's good for you to live here. It's best not to take your daughter to some remote places. Three people have gone missing."

Schiller pretended to be a little worried. He asked, "Three people? Are they all from outside the area? Or are there locals too?"

"They are all outsiders. However, since it is the season for purchasing agricultural machinery, many locals have gone out and have not returned yet. We cannot confirm whether any of them have been killed."

The policeman sighed and looked very worried. Schiller knew that in such a small place, most of the policemen were locals. The public security situation in the town was also closely related to their quality of life.

"I'll keep an eye on it," Schiller said. "My daughter is very interested in aliens. But it's probably only for a while, so we'll probably leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There shouldn't be any danger."

The police nodded and said, "Don't blame me for being nosy. Among the missing people is a mother and daughter. The daughter is about the same age as your daughter. We highly suspect this is a serial murder case, but the police force in town is insufficient. We have to wait for backup."

"Until everything comes to light and the murderer is brought to justice, you must keep a close eye on your daughter. Don't let any more tragedy happen."

Schiller nodded and watched the police leave.

And when he turned around, he saw Yodon standing behind him.

This should have been a very scary scene, but because he was holding a bunch of messy vegetables in his arms and there was dust on his hair and forehead, it looked a bit funny.

"What did the police tell you?" asked Yotton.

"Nothing. Just reminding me and my daughter to be safe. They said a mother and daughter were among the missing. They suspect this is a serial murder case. Let's be careful."

Jotun nodded and said nothing more. He took the basket and went to cook. Schiller took Aisha to the backyard to play on the swing.

In fact, Elsa prefers chewing on the swing to swinging on it. So no matter how high the swing is, she seems a little bored.

Just when Schiller wanted to take her back to the house to watch TV, he saw a dark shadow flash in the bushes behind the fence on the right side of the backyard. Then there were two very slight knocking sounds.

Realizing that this might be a deliberate sound made by someone, Schiller walked over and found a man squatting at the junction of the backyard fence and the wall of the house. He was wearing a police uniform and was the male policeman who stopped Schiller's car that day.

"Hello, officer. What are you doing here?"

"I want to remind you." The other party lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Yoden, who invited you and your daughter to stay here, may be a dangerous person. The disappearances that occurred near the town may be related to him. You'd better leave here as soon as possible."

Schiller frowned and said, "Do you have any evidence?"

"If I had, I would have arrested him. Investigations take time. The police department won't allow us to act rashly without support from the city. So this is just my personal suspicion."

"But you'd better listen to me. He is obviously very wrong. There were great doubts about his sister's death. It was only because the Yodens insisted not to pursue it that they didn't investigate further. You understand what I mean. Right?"

"Well, he just said he would treat Aisha and me to a meal. I thought he was a nice guy."

"Don't eat anything he gives you." The police officer said emphatically, "Leave here as soon as possible and drive to town. There are more police forces there, and it will be safer."

At this moment, Schiller heard the door to the backyard being pushed open, probably because Yotun was coming. So he stood up and found that Yotun was already coming.

But the policeman had left before he came over, so he didn't see anything.

"Professor, the meal is ready." Yodon said with a smile.

Schiller took Elsa to the dining table. The meal was simple: a fresh vegetable salad, fried steak and mashed potatoes.

Although the dishes were not complicated, they were very fragrant and presented well. It seemed that Yodon was not lying when he said he could cook.

Schiller first put some salad on his plate, and then filled Aisha's plate with vegetables, and like a good father, he reminded Aisha to eat more vegetables.

Elsa had already stuffed half a steak into her mouth and was nodding as she chewed, while Schiller started eating the vegetables on his plate.

"Would you like some salad dressing? Professor, we make our own mayonnaise..." Yoton placed a bottle next to Schiller's hand.

"No. I never eat any sauce." Schiller said as he pushed the steak to Elsa. Elsa didn't hesitate and finished her portion in a few bites and started to finish Schiller's portion.

"I think you should really try it. The mayonnaise is vegan, too. It's guaranteed to taste good."

"Can I have a taste?" Aisha asked suddenly.

"Well, mayonnaise is high in oil and sugar, which might not be very healthy for children. What do you think, Professor?"

"Okay, Elsa. You can't have any more sweets. Finish your steak, then we'll go to the wheat field and see if we can wait for the aliens. We agreed that if you don't see anything tonight, we'll leave tomorrow morning."

Elsa grunted something but nodded.
