Chapter 29: Investigation (2)
The entrance to the Confederate garrison.
"Sorry to bother me in my busy schedule, but I want to ask for something." "There are a few questions I would like to ask about this morning's big bazaar. β
"What does this have to do with you outsiders?" The soldier guarding the gate spoke very politely.
"We're here for a special internship in the city." Laura said earnestly, "As a student at the Tolz Military Academy, I want to find an opportunity to learn the work of my predecessors. β
"Huh" was stared at by four pairs of eyes that flashed with curiosity, and the vanity of the gatekeeper was unprecedentedly satisfied, and he nodded, "I see, wait a minute." β
"Now it's finally time to ask questions." Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief, "Then again, Laura, you're saying a good thing. β
"Hehe, it's at this time that we must make effective use of our identity as a student of the Military Academy." Laura smiled to herself.
"But then there's the problem," Elliot looked up, and as far as he could see, the captain of the Confederates was walking towards him, "Well, I'm getting nervous all the time." β
"Hey, we're busy too." The captain looked a little impatient, "Forget it, let's talk about it briefly." β
"So, I'll just ask." Lane stepped forward, "Is the position of the Condestinate Army that it is intended not to continue the investigation?" β
"Hmph, I thought you were going to say something, but it turned out to be that kind of thing." The captain's attitude suddenly turned contemptuous.
"That kind of thing?" Laura's unconsciously released a kind of majesty, "As a leader in charge of maintaining local security, it always feels inappropriate to say such things." β
"Hmph, it's so loud. However, this concept can only be said to be too tender. β
The leader of the consort army clasped his hands on his chest and said in a stern tone:
"Do you know what is the most important starting point for maintaining local security? It is to obey the orders of the lord who rules the landβin our case, the House of Elbaria. Since they belong to the consort army, the orders of the nobles are absolute. We can only obey orders and calmly judge what to protect. β
"It's because they proposed to the Duke's family to 'revoke the tax increase statement', right?" Rien suddenly cut to the point, "As long as you don't take back this pleading, isn't the Grand Bazaar of Keldik something to protect?" β
"Whatever you want to explain." The captain's face remained unchanged, but his face still looked a little unnatural, "We just achieved our duties, and soldiers are like that." The chicks who have just entered the military academy and have not even grown their feathers are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks. β
This kind of attitude of relying on the old and selling the old, the fake and empty slogans, and the shameless cheekiness make people feel powerless.
"Well, there shouldn't be anything else to say." Seeing that the four of them fell silent, the captain gave an eviction order, "We are also very busy, if there is nothing else, shouldn't you almost go back." β
"That, that." Elliot, who had been hiding at the end and did not speak, spoke, "Can I ask a question at the end?" β
"Hmph, okay, just say whatever you want."
"Uh, so do you know where those trinkets are going about the goods sold by the victim Marco?"
"What are you talking about, it's the Imperial merchant named Hans who sells the trinkets."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the leader of the Lord's Army with a strange expression.
"Why do you know so well? Regarding this incident, the Confederate army should not have investigated it carefully before "Elliot stared at this flaw."
"Well, I really can't figure it out." Laura also made up for it, "We also cleared the investigation just now and just learned about these things." β
"This means that we also have our own intelligence network! Okay, there's nothing more to say, I'm out of company first. The captain who was hit by the key point panicked, casually found an excuse to prevaricate, and left in a hurry
Less, roadside.
"Wit, Elliot." Lane patted his friend on the shoulder, "Now things are roughly clear." β
"What do you mean?" Laura and Alyssa hadn't reacted yet.
"It's very simple, the matter was not discovered until this morning, and the Confederate army put on that attitude again, it should be that they don't have time to investigate, but they have a lot of detailed information, don't you think it's too strange?" Li En analyzed, "Combined with the fact that the license is issued by the duke's family, I am afraid that it has been planned for a long time. β
"Lane is right." Elliot said, "Permits for the same location were deliberately issued to merchants to cause them to conflict. Before the anger subsided, the incident was triggered again. In this way, the turmoil deteriorated into something that could not be resolved without the intervention of the Confederate army. β
"Those two merchants were taken advantage of, weren't they?" The ramen noodles sink like water.
"Now, the two people who lost the store are so excited that even the chief manager can't dissuade them." Alyssa sighed, "If there's another Mars, maybe"
"No, maybe, there will definitely be a backhand, for example, in two days, Hans happens to see Marco has the ornaments he sells, so we must eradicate this possibility." Lai was very pleased with his companion's performance.
From the beginning of the incident, Lane has been deliberately downplaying his presence and letting his teammates play to their heart's content. They didn't disappoint Lane either, and each showed great ability. The second generation of X was mostly regarded as a derogatory term in the previous life, but too many people ignored that these children from extraordinary backgrounds have received much more education and seen more things than ordinary people since they were young, and the abilities they have exercised are far beyond the ability of ordinary people.
"How?" Laura couldn't help but ask.
"Laura, you bring that one with you, and the others come with me, so that you can see how the experts find clues."
"Wait, wait, what's that?" Alyssa wanted to be scratched by a cat.
"Confidentiality."
"So, expert, how are you going to find clues?" After Laura went to the hotel alone, Alyssa was in an attitude of holding her hands to her chest and watching coldly.
"That, that, Alyssa," Elliot said again.
"Who called them two mysterious," Alyssa muttered quietly, "but I'm not in a position to speak of anyone else." β
"Huh? What did you just say? Lane listened.
"What, nothing." Alyssa's little fists shook up and down involuntarily, and her tsundere's movements were the same as those of Elyse and Du Barry, "Compared to this, aren't you looking for clues?" Just wandering around the streets? β
"No, I'm just watching to see where to start." Lane walked along the main road from east to west, and finally found the person he was looking for, "Did you see that drunk man lying on the side of the road?" You can smell the wine from so far away, and there are so many empty bottles next to it, how long do you think he drank there? β
"I, I don't drink, how can I know." Alyssa said this, but she had the answer in her heart.
"What does Elliot think?"
"Well, I think it's going to be at least the middle of the night." Eliot recalls the scene of drinking with his comrades on his father's holiday, and seems to grasp something, "What do you mean?"
"Yes, he might see something." Rien said and turned to leave, "You wait for me, I'll go buy something." β
"Uh, isn't that what you want to ask?"
"Hey, uncle, are you okay?" Li En chose an upwind outlet to squat next to the drunk, so that the smell of wine could be lightened.
"Leave it alone uncle." The drunk burped and staggered to his feet, "I'm a waste who was suddenly fired anyway." Managing nature parks was originally my goal in life~"
Speaking of nature parks, we are referring to the Lunalia Nature Park to the west of Keldic, famous for its pristine rainforest scenery in the empire, which is visited by photographers and nature lovers every year.
"Uncle, I'm really working hard" The drunk seemed to feel that he had someone to talk to, and said to himself, "As a result, the officials of "Kruchen" suddenly came to fire me, which is too much~"
"It's really excessive." Li En chimed in, "So now that the nature park is unmanaged, is there no one to manage it?" That's one of Keldik's most famous attractions. β
"Hiccup~ Changed a few young people who were hanging children." As soon as he mentioned this drunk, he began to think in pieces, "Obviously Uncle I am much more serious than those unreliable young men"
"What's the wrong way?" Elliot asked.
"Uncle, I've been drinking here since last night, and then I saw young men in the administrator's uniform running out from the direction of the West Gate, and they were running in the middle of the night, carrying something like a box, so I said young man."
βBingoγβ Lane snapped his fingers triumphantly, "Look, the clue is here." β
"It's true that it's a blind spot, and there's plenty of room to hide stolen goods." Laura didn't know when she returned to the group, and there was a long box wrapped tightly behind her.
"Yesterday afternoon, there were two people guarding the door, probably looking at the wind, but "Kruchenzhou" ordered, it feels getting darker and darker." Alyssa looked to the west.
"Hey, Uncle seems to have helped~" The drunk shook the empty wine bottle in his right hand and said, "Come, please Uncle I'll have a drink, it's not bad as an intelligence fee~"
"Ah, thank you, uncle." Li En put the newly bought wine in front of the drunk, "This bottle of wine wishes Uncle to get back to work!" β
"Lai, Lai!"
