161. Imprisonment

Like the first two deceased, Ruskin died in his own bed, from a large hole in his chest.

According to the servants, after he returned from torture, he entered the room with a curse, and specially ordered the butler to wake him up after the morning bell struck ten times. But when the servant came knocking on the door, there was no movement in the room. The servant opened the door suspiciously, only to find that his master had already died.

As a mid-level modeler with the highest rank, his strength speaks for itself. can sneak into the mansion quietly, evade the heavily guarded guards, and kill the other party invisibly, the murderer is not to say that the strength is outstanding, but at least it must be equal.

The murder of a mid-level modeler is an incalculable loss to a third-level city like Toba. Hearing that the lord of the city was furious about this, he ordered the entire city guard to search for the murderer and bring him to justice. Persons suspected of committing crimes, regardless of their status, are to be taken into custody for surveillance and interrogation.

I don't know if it's really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in this city, or if Ruskin has made too many enemies before, and there are nearly thirty people who have been found to have a motive for committing the crime. As the highest-level modeler in the main city, Du Yuhan has undoubtedly become the focus of suspicion.

"Alas......" He sighed deeply as he looked at the iron bars engraved with incantations in front of him.

Anyway, before that, he never knew that he had the ability to curse and kill.

But......

Looking around, the porcelain-white marble walls are clean and tidy, the floor is covered with heavy blankets, and there is a soft and comfortable single bed in the prison, and the carved table is full of all kinds of fruit snacks. As long as the jailer is informed of the request, a sumptuous meal will be provided according to the prisoner's request in a few moments.

Glancing at the aged light wine in the goblet, Du Yuhan was a little confused.

It's not like a prison in the wild, and some of the service is even better than a hotel.

Thinking of the gloomy cell that Kevin had once taken, he couldn't help but wonder a little.

Could it be that this prison is also related to regional culture?

However, there is one thing in common.

There is no freedom here.

"Your Excellency......" An uneasy voice came from the opposite cell, Du Yuhan looked up and found that John was staring at him with a pale face, his eyes full of hope. He grabbed the iron bar and tried to come forward, but the heavy shackles between his wrists made a crunching sound.

Startled by the piercing impact, John's face became even more ugly.

"Why are you here?" Du Yuhan frowned.

Doesn't it mean that only those with mid-level strength will be imprisoned? How did John, who was at the first and advanced level, become a suspect? Also, why is he the only one in the shackles?

"I—"

"Hmph, who told him to run so high-profile to fight with Ruskin, and almost got into a fight. As soon as the quarrel was over, the other side lost his life, it doesn't matter who he is? Jesse in the next cell sat on the floor, his eyes full of impatience.

"Why are you here?" Du Yuhan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"It's not because Ruskin used to follow me all the time, so I have a close relationship." Jesse wrinkled his face irritably, reached for the delicate snack on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, "Although that guy is annoying at times, how could I possibly kill him?" I don't know what those guards think, they dare to even arrest me. ā€

"It's all your fault, if it weren't for you, I would have advanced to the semifinals by now."

"I didn't! I didn't kill people! ā€

"Well, yes. As a rookie like you, you don't have the ability to commit crimes. ā€

"You're not the same and you're a rookie!"

"What did you say?!"

"You're a rookie!"

……

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Alas......"

The noisy dispute echoed in the dungeon, making Du Yuhan head two bigger, he sighed deeply again, and suddenly heard hurried footsteps at the end of the cell.

Oh? Is there another person being detained?

But when they saw the appearance of the comer, John and Jesse silently silenced in unison.

Du Yuhan's eyes lit up, "Kevin? What are you doing here? ā€

"Well, I rushed here when I heard the news." Kevin nodded, didn't bother to pick the big red flower swaying in the wind above his head, and looked each other up and down.

At that time, Vic saw Du Yuhan surrounded downstairs, and thought that something was wrong. After much inquiry, Kevin learned of Ruskin's death. He immediately ran to the office of the Praetorian Guard to inquire about the situation, but he didn't expect that as soon as he reported Du Yuhan's name, those guards brought him over respectfully and politely. But now the situation was exceptional, and he was told not to stay here for long.

Sensing the other party's worry, Du Yuhan patted his chest, "Don't worry, it's very good." ā€

There was indeed no trace of torture, and Kevin looked around, seeming to be very confused by the luxurious and comfortable environment here, "What's going on?" ā€

Du Yuhan shrugged, "As you can see." ā€

"Is this a final decision?"

"How is that possible? I haven't interrogated yet! ā€

"How long will the interrogation take?"

"How do I know ......?"

"Has the captain of the guard been here?"

"Not yet, I guess I'm busy arresting the suspect."

"That's—"

"That...... Mr. Kevin. ā€

Jesse on the other side smiled respectfully and interjected cautiously. "Please don't worry, according to my guess, in less than two days, Mr. Du Yuhan will be able to leave this place."

"Oh?" Seeing his confident appearance, Kevin raised an eyebrow. "You're pretty calm."

"Your Excellency, you are not unaware that the city lord occasionally has a cerebral convulsion, and will give strange orders to put all the suspects in prison, including many high-ranking ministers. But when the limelight is over, they will be released again, and we will be surprised for a long time. ā€

Therefore, in order not to offend the aristocracy, the prison will specially build this kind of luxurious room, so that when the city lord goes crazy, there will be a way to deal with it.

No wonder the jailers here are better than the clerks outside.

But now the question is, the middle-level model master in the city died violently at home, will the city lord reveal it so lightly?

He was extremely skeptical.

However, Du Yuhan only dared to bury this thought in his heart, he grinned, "Look, even Jesse has promised so, don't worry." ā€

Although Kevin was still worried, he still reluctantly hooked the corners of his mouth, "Well, you have to pay attention to safety." ā€

"It's okay, it's okay, don't you know my strength?" Du Yuhan waved his hand indifferently.

It's not that he is boasting, but he really doesn't pay attention to the level of defense in this cell. According to his current ability, unless he is a professional with a higher rank than him, in terms of the number of ranks, although he does not have the confidence to win, it is certain that he will not fall behind.

Faced with Du Yuhan's assurance, Kevin only smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He naturally knows how much strength his lover has. But what he was worried about wasn't the weakly defended prison at all, but something lurking in the shadows.

I saw that I could leave this place, but in the end, this happened.

Looks like he'll have to figure out how to do it.

Glancing at the jailer in the distance, Kevin said a few more words of advice, and when he saw Du Yuhan agreeing, he slowly stood up straight. "I'll come back to see you tomorrow."

"Okay." Du Yuhan nodded, and gave a big smile by the way. Seeing that the other party was still sad, he rolled his eyes, suddenly pulled Kevin's hand hard, and quickly kissed it on the back of his hand, hooking the corners of his mouth as if he were nothing.

"Don't miss me too much tonight."

The pitch-black eyes are half-squinted, like a bottomless whirlpool, so I can't help but indulge in them. The always resolute and handsome facial features showed a charming expression, and Kevin only felt that he was breathing, and his pupils became darker and darker.

The longer the two spend together, the more open they are in some things, although the shy and restrained Du Yuhan is full of interest, but the attitude of taking the initiative to cooperate also has a unique flavor.

Tsk, I really want to break this obstructive circle.

Withdrawing his hand carelessly, Kevin stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked the back of his hand lightly under Du Yuhan's cramped eyes. He showed a flirtatious smile, leaned in front of the other party, and deliberately lengthened his voice, "Okay...... Yes! ā€

Du Yuhan was stunned, his charming expression made his heart palpitate on his beautiful face, he couldn't help but blush, and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

Depend on! What does it mean to steal chickens and rice?

He's being teased like this, isn't he?!

Sneaking a glance at the cell opposite, John was counting the holes in the chains with his back to them, while Jesse next door looked down at the split ends of his hair.

couldn't bear to let the two of them continue to pretend to be blind, Du Yuhan waved his hand to drive people away, "Okay, okay, now that people have seen it, let's go back quickly if it's okay." ā€

Kevin smiled, straightened his clothes, and was about to turn to leave, when there was another sound of footsteps at the end.

"It's dark inside, please be careful." The jailer who led the way hunched his waist and carefully waited for the gorgeously dressed woman behind him.

"I'm sorry for you." The woman smiled gratefully.

"No, no, no, it's a small honor to serve the princess!" The jailer saluted in fear.

Du Yuhan was stunned.

Princess? How could she be here?

Could it be that she was also imprisoned?

But the next moment, he understood.

"Sister!" Jesse on the other side was the first to react and shouted through the cell.

Hearing that shout, Dai Li subconsciously frowned, but soon showed a proper smile again. Just as she was about to send the jailer away, she saw Kevin standing in front of the cell and looking at her.

"Mr. Kevin?" She was stunned.

"Dear Princess Daili, you are still beautiful today." Kevin raised his eyebrows and bowed respectfully.

"Mr. has won the prize." The other party's politeness seemed to make Dai Li very happy, she half-covered her cherry lips and smiled lightly, her eyes flashed with excitement, "Are you here to visit His Excellency Du Yuhan?" ā€

"Yes."

Dailie's face was full of embarrassment, "I am very sorry about Mr. Ruskin's death. At the same time, I also believe in the ability of the Guards to quickly catch the real culprit and give you justice. ā€

Although her words were full of comfort to Du Yuhan, her eyes kept on Kevin, as if in her eyes, a sixth-order priest was much more important than a high-level model master.

"Definitely." Kevin's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth hooked without a trace, "If it's okay, please forgive me for saying goodbye first." ā€

Dai Li, who originally wanted to say a few more words to him, could only smile at the moment, "It's also good, it's not too early, so I won't delay Mr." ā€

Respectfully saluted, Kevin glanced at Du Yuhan deeply before leaving, and then walked away accompanied by the jailer.

Du Yuhan looked at the back of his lover's departure, and then turned his head to look at Dai Li, who still hadn't withdrawn his gaze, the excitement and joy in the other party's eyes couldn't be hidden, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.

This woman ......

"Sister......

was exchanged for sanity by Jesse, and Dai Li felt the inquiring eyes of others. She quickly retracted her gaze and bowed her head lightly to Du Yuhan, then turned around and walked towards Jesse's cell. She was generous and decent, and her face didn't seem to be very good-looking.

"What good do you think you've done? was suspected of being a suspect. Dai Li frowned and stared at her brother, "I told you a long time ago to stop doing these things that have no future, but you didn't listen." It's good now, being implicated in this kind of thing, where does this put your brother-in-law's face? ā€

Jesse, who was reprimanded sharply, remained silent and silently fiddled with the plush carpet under his feet.

Hearing this, Du Yuhan tightened his sword eyebrows, faintly showing a tendency to get angry.

What do you mean by something that has no future?

Is the dare profession still divided into three, six, nine and so on?

The staring at Kevin just now had already made him very unhappy, and now he was still talking wildly.

Just as he was thinking about how powerful this "thing with no future" was to let Dairi see how powerful it was, Jesse, who had been keeping his head down, blushed and smacked his lips a few times, and finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth, "...... So when can I leave......"

"Leave? If only it were that easy. Dai Li sighed deeply, "The highest level model in the city was lost in this murder, and the city lord is furious this time. Today, Bane and the ministers were unmoved after urging him, and he didn't know how many days would be after he was gone. ā€

"What ......" Hearing this, Jesse, who had been there all along, realized the severity of the problem, "That, then my game-"

"You're still thinking about the game?" Dai Li glared at him with a raised brow, and her voice instantly raised by several decibels, "It's still unknown how long you'll be locked up now!" ā€

Du Yuhan, who had been sitting in the corner with his ears pricked up, twitched his face, and an ominous premonition came out of his heart.

No way......
