Chapter 215: Evidence
Fabian himself could not have imagined that he could kill the human-like monster with a single arrow.
He had been aiming for the small window on the second floor, but when the monster suddenly appeared in the doorway and fought Jacques, Fabian immediately moved the arrow down, looking for an opportunity to attack.
However, the battle changed very quickly, but in an instant, the situation took a sharp turn, Jacques was kicked away, and a pillar of light shot out of the door. Fabian's hand unconsciously let go, and the feathered arrow departed from the string.
Then, to Fabian's surprise, the arrow happened to hit the monster's looking back head, killing him with one arrow.
- Favored by the god of luck!
But how could Fabian admit that the arrow was just a stroke of luck? Of course not!
So when Alyssa and the others broke in through the back door and came out of the front door, what they saw was Fabian proudly patting Jacques on the shoulder and smiling and saying how he accurately judged the direction of the monster's movement and how invincible the arrow was.
Jacques walked over to the monster, its hind legs twitching, but it was only a pre-stiff routine. Jacques stabbed the tip of the knife into the monster's thigh, the blade had a noticeable sense of condensation when it touched the monster's fur, it seemed that its black fur could still resist attacks, no wonder the two swords he hit did not achieve the desired effect.
Everyone also gathered around, very curious about this strange trophy.
From the monster's intact left claw, the tip of each claw resembles a dagger, and the muscular body provides a powerful explosive force that can easily disembowel the extraordinary.
Seeing that Fat Orange was also coming, Jacques asked, "Fat Orange, have you ever seen any of such monsters?"
There were no outsiders around, and the pedestrians on the street had already run away when Lily's lightning arrow broke through the window, and Fat Tangerine looked around and said, "The emperor has never seen or heard of this kind of monster." However, it gave the Emperor a very disgusting feeling, and his smell, appearance, and sound were disgusting to the Emperor. ”
The monster died in the midst of their onlookers, but something even more terrifying happened, the monster began to shrink in size, its swollen muscles began to atrophy, its large mouth was retracted, and even the black hair all over its body began to burrow back into the skin.
The monster turned into a naked man in front of Jacques and the others, he was not tall and thin, only one meter six at most, with Fabian's arrows stuck in his eyes, brown hair and white skin, he was an imperial man, and he looked less than thirty years old.
The little finger and ring finger of his right hand are missing, and they are still bleeding, which should have been chopped off by Jacques just now. There was a knife cut on the chest, which was not large and oozing blood slightly. The only intact eyes were still open, and the pale blue eyes looked at the sky without looking at the sky.
Jacques quickly examined the body, but he was naked, nothing.
"It's you again! What do you see? Always blowing the alarm!"
Tlinger finally arrived, along with two grandmasters and more than a dozen city guards.
"I think we've got a prisoner. Jacques said as he pulled everyone out of the way of the body so that Tlinger could examine it.
When Tlinger heard that he had caught a prisoner, he was overjoyed and walked forward with a smile on his face, but after just glancing at it, he was disappointed, and even said angrily: "This is what you call a prisoner? With his physique, he can kill two transcendents in two seconds? What about his black fur coat? Everyone is dead, how can you make sure that he is a prisoner?"
Jacques was also a little troubled, if the guys had arrived a minute earlier, they would have seen everything, and it was a bit difficult to explain it now.
But he still briefly recounted the battle with the monster, pointed to the three holes in his leather armor and said: "This is what he caught at that time, if I hadn't slashed him at the same time, and my armor was stronger, I would have been disemboweled, like everyone else." ”
A half-human, half-wolf monster, transformed after death, these words were condensed in Terlinger's ears into one word: "Bullshit!"
He said to his men behind him, "Take them to the City Guard headquarters first, and wait for me to investigate in detail before making a final decision." ”
When Jacques saw that Trencher not only did not believe it, but also suspected that they were taking the opportunity to kill and arrest them, he hurriedly thought of saving himself, and eagerly thought of a piece of evidence, so he said: "Captain Terlinger, I have a piece of evidence, there are his footprints and barefoot footprints at the scene where the city guards were killed in the morning!
Tlinger said: "I will arrange for someone to investigate the situation you said, Gallagher, you take the two of you to the place where he said to take a closer look, if there are footprints, rub them down." But you still have to ......."
Jacques hurriedly said, "Also, check his room, the deceased's lost entrails may be in his room!"
Believing that Jacques had a point, Turlinger arranged for someone to enter the room to examine it, and asked his men to inquire about the deceased.
Jacques was desperate to clear his suspicions, mainly because he didn't dare to fall into the prison of the city guards.
Although both father and Marianne have the ability to rescue everyone, and the suspicion should be cleared quickly, Jacques had just killed a city guard squad leader a few days ago, and at this time, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not meet the same person as the squad leader who was sent to patrol the factory with them today.
Even if the father and Marianne came forward, it was impossible for the city guards to release them without spending a sum of money, they just had the ability to take out all the frogs they caught, and they had to pay for them to release them regardless of whether they were guilty or not.
Let Jacques pay for nothing? That's impossible!
Ten minutes later, a brief report of the investigation was reported to Trylinger, and Jacques could hear it clearly.
The man who died at their hands was called Gabriel, an ordinary transcendent immigrant. Came to the New World many years ago, lived in Medis, and didn't seem to be suitable for adventure, and his strength stayed at the high level of the Awakened for a long time, so he gave up the adventurous life. I came to Yorktown a year ago and got a job in a gas factory.
"Living alone, with no relatives or friends, this is what we inquired about from our neighbors. Tlinger's men reported: "His room was checked just now, and there was nothing suspicious. ”
Jacques asked, "Didn't you find any internal organs? Then go to his place of work and check what he does every month, he should not have been at work every time the crime was committed!"
Trencher glared at Jacques, who hated the young man very much now, and said, "We'll arrange for someone to investigate, Mr. Jacques, you, and your friends, it's best to come with me to the City Guard." When the results of the investigation are out and we are sure that what you say is true, we will let you go and give you a bonus based on the amount of the bounty. ”
Jacques said: "It should be quick to confirm the footprints and Gabriel's whereabouts at the time of the crime, we will just wait here for a while." ”
Therelinger said with a smirk: "This evidence does not prove that Gabriel is the culprit, and I think it will not be known until today next month, when the serial murders do not happen again." But rest assured, Mr. Jacques, that you will be well taken care of in the City Guard. ”
- He's going to trick me!
Jacques was sure that Trencher wanted to use the issue as an excuse to detain them for a few days in the name of investigation, and that he would probably have to get a few thousand silver coins from his father before releasing them.
- Find a way!
Jacques stepped aside, turned on the miniature source stone communicator, and began to call Marianne, after a few calls, Marianne did not answer, but Graves answered.
Jacques briefly explained the situation to Graves, and he said that he was going to Marianne to ask her opinion, and then broke off the call.
Marianne soon replied and told Jacques to wait where she was, and she arranged for someone to pick them up.
With Marianne's promise, Jacques was relieved and instead calmed down and thought about how to find the crucial evidence.
