Chapter 60: Conspiracy
Listening to Charles's teasing words, Dam's waist bent lower, and the look on his face was deeply hidden. He gritted his teeth fiercely, enduring the humiliation that Charles had inflicted on him. Despite how approachable Charles is now, Damm never forgets the humiliation he inflicted on him at the athletic convention, and how he couldn't get off the stage in front of everyone after he joined Count Atlas's army.
But in the end, he still restrained his emotions very well, bent down, and said respectfully: "My lord, I am really afraid to get such a love from you below, but after all, there is a difference between the top and bottom, and I really dare not cross it below!" ”
Charles couldn't say anything more when he heard him say this, so he had to stretch out his hand and pat him on the shoulder, and then asked, "Is this the person you want to arrest, what did they do, and they are so tired that the lord personally ordered you to make a special trip?" ”
Before Damm could answer, Jason on the side rushed to say, "Your Excellency, you don't know, there was a brutal murder in our brothel yesterday, and twenty-one people died, and even the brothel was burned to ashes. And then there are signs that this case was planned and carried out by this family, and all of them are why we are here to arrest the suspects. ”
Charles nodded, turned his head to Dam, and said, pretending to be confused, "I see, but if I'm not mistaken, this is Pavren, and it's the territory of Lord Jehamur, and it's not good for our people to interfere so recklessly." ”
The expression on Dam's face suddenly froze, and he lowered his head and said, "My lord, because this case also involves the relatives of our Gilkara treasurer, Lord Mark, so Lord Jehamor will agree to us entering his territory to assist the sheriff here in arresting the suspect." We're not taking matters into our own hands, we're just doing what we're told, so don't get me wrong. ”
Charles patted Dam on the shoulder again and said in a joking tone, "Look, you're polite again!" I'm not your chief, so you really don't have to talk to me like that. Besides, you and the soldiers must have been ordered to come here, so naturally I can't have any opinions, you really don't have to be so nervous! ”
Dam reluctantly responded to Charles with a smile, and said in a dry voice: "I'm sorry sir, my subordinates have caught some of the suspects just now, I need to go over and take a look, so I won't waste your time, please feel free to take your leave." ”
After saying this, before Charles could reply, Sergeant Damm trotted away, as if he really had something urgent. Charles watched with a slight smile as his back slowly disappeared around the corner, and suddenly turned to look at Jason, who was standing there with an embarrassed expression.
Jason really didn't know what to do, even if he was a fool, I'm afraid he could see that Damm was at odds with this obviously aristocratic guy at this time. Jason stood there a little confused, not knowing whether he should catch up or not, and follow Dam to see the captive. It stands to reason that he is the sheriff of Pavron, and Dam is here to assist him, and he has the responsibility and obligation to deal with all matters related to the case. But at this moment, he was very hesitant, not knowing whether he should or not, or more accurately, whether he could leave behind the young man in front of him.
Jason knew it was time for him to make a decision again. Maybe for them they are just a passerby, but at this time they are accidentally involved in their battle of will, in order not to offend more powerful people, they must make a choice from it!
"Mr. Sheriff? Are you listening to me? Charles looked at the apparently distracted sheriff and frowned a little displeased.
Jason sensed Charles's displeasure and hurriedly remedied, "I'm sorry, my lord, I'm really sorry!" Because I was reviewing this case overnight, I couldn't rest well, and I accidentally wandered away just now, which is really rude. What did you just say? “
Charles spread his hands a little helplessly, and repeated what he had just said: "Sergeant Damm didn't introduce your name to me just now, my name is Charles. Bourbon, baron of Djerkhara, still for your name? “
"Down there is the sheriff of Pavron, I don't have a surname because I am a commoner, just call me Jason, my lord."
"Okay Jason, what I want to know is, has this family been caught? If you don't get caught, do you need our help? “
"It would be great to have your help! Only then did the soldiers report that they had met the suspect in the mountain corridor to the left of Pavren, and that in addition to the suspect's family, fifteen gang members were accompanying the escort. The soldiers engaged in a fierce battle with them there, killing nine gang members and capturing four. Suspect Charlie. Wood was killed by them on the spot, and his eldest son, Carl. Wood escaped under the cover of the two remaining gangsters, while his youngest son, Sonny. Wood was confirmed dead after he stumbled and fell off a cliff during the battle. The whereabouts of the suspect's family are still unknown, and our people are still looking for them. If you're willing, be sure to help us catch the remaining suspects, and with your help, our Pavron will be back to peace! On behalf of all the citizens of Pavron, I would like to thank you! “
Looking at this man who was almost in tears when he spoke, Charles couldn't help but praise him, after all, being able to do so much is considered an ability. Charles patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and said gently, "As a nobleman, how could I stand idly by and be indifferent to such a thing?" Rest assured, my men and I will do our best to help you find the remaining suspects! So now allow me to take my leave for a moment, and I'm going to go and tell my soldiers about the situation here, and we'll be ready to go in the afternoon, so please don't put too much pressure on yourself. “
Jason wiped his eyes with great gratitude, sent Charles away with a thousand thanks, and then secretly mocked in his heart: Another fool! You all go and be the first bird, the Wood family is a gangster, and you will definitely not have to run, and when the time comes, you will block the revenge of the gangsters for me, I am innocent hahaha!
Charles turned the corner, where Joseph had been waiting for a long time, and he approached Charles's side and asked, "My lord, how is the situation?" “
Charles said lightly: "It's not very good, I didn't expect that there was Mark among the people they took revenge on. The people of the Diama family. This time their family is finished, and the only thing I'm worried about now is that someone will tell them that they have seen us, and we will have an explanation when the time comes! “
Joseph touched his chin and fell silent, and finally made a vicious gesture and gestured to his neck. Charles shook his head and rejected his offer.
"I just met Dam, oh yes, you don't know him, but that's okay. All you have to know is that this narrow-minded guy has a grudge against me for a little thing, and if he catches me, I'll be able to bear it. Perhaps, we can make a fuss about this, maybe, we will not have anything and may not have it. “
Joseph pondered for a while, and then whispered, "Only those few people have seen us, and the main ones are dead, and the whole family named Carl is naturally impossible to betray us. We haven't seen their daughters, which means that the only ones who can betray us now are the four captives! Forgive me, my lord, for not thinking of a good way, maybe killing them would be the best way! ”
