As Monique demanded, Levi took two sips of soup. Since the soup was not much, he gave it to Monique and said, "I have eaten just now. I'm not hungry."
"I'm feeling very well. Don't worry about me." Monique knew Levi had been cooking the soup for a long time, she understood that well even though she didn't know how to cook. Levi had been away for two hours, so he was probably busy cooking this pot of soup.
Monique was a soldier and her body was strong. There was really no need for Levi to work so hard for her, but what he did made her feel warm in her heart.
Although this bowl of soup was not as good as her mother's, Monique felt that it was still delicious since Levi put in an effort to cook it for her.
After drinking, Levi took the initiative to pack up the thermos. "Mr. Hart will come for a state visit in Xanduvia City the day after tomorrow. He will stay here for a day. We only have three days left. We must find the location of Sheldon and Edward today."
The clock was ticking. They really didn't have much time left. The next two days would determine their success. If anything went wrong, they would not be able to complete this mission.
Monique did not forget what Levi had said earlier on. "Didn't you just say that you've come up with an idea? What is it?"
"Loraine, the cleaner, is sick today. However, she urgently needs someone to help her to clean the building. The building she is in charge of is in the alley which Ben and Mark disappeared last night. So, we will do it for her today." When Levi was buying groceries, he also gathered some useful information.
"Okay. Let's go now." Monique agreed without hesitation.
"Not yet. Loraine goes there to clean up in the evening every day. We can't go too early, or else, others might suspect us."
"True..." Monique nodded. "Then, let's do our usual work to see if there are any new discoveries during this period of time."
The busy day began. This day, Levi occasionally saw two suspicious people entering the alley. It didn't take long for them to exit. He didn't know what they were up to.
In the evening, Levi and Monique bought some food to fill their stomachs and immediately devoted themselves to the work of locating Sheldon and Edward. They scanned their surroundings and observed the houses one after another but found nothing unusual after inspecting the building.
There were a total of six staircase entrances in this alley, with six buildings in total. Now that one had been excluded, there were only five over six chances left.
Each time a building was eliminated, the chances would be less. Monique got a little anxious. "Levi..."
Levi patted her back. "Don't worry, maybe they are hiding in the last building."
Levi was not very confident, but as long as he had not searched the last one, there would be a chance.
Monique felt much more at ease after hearing Levi's words, so she continued her work.
After searching in five buildings, Monique panicked again. If they could not find them in the last building, then all their efforts these days would be wasted.
However, when they were about to go upstairs, two suspicious people came in a hurry. They went directly to the top floor. The highest floor of these old buildings was only the sixth floor. Monique and Levi knew that they had entered the house, and soon came out in a hurry.
