When Gallo found out the truth, it was already two days later, and he found out through the newspaper that he had killed an innocent person...

The newspapers described him as an unscrupulous gangster, focusing on criticizing him for accidentally injuring hostages, and downplaying the deeds of shooting and killing cultists as much as possible...

He was sad for a long time, and repeatedly confessed and repented to the goddess, and conducted a very deep review and self-remorse.

After that, I also made a lot of summaries and corrected some bad habits, such as acting as secretive as possible; For example, when you do it, you first use insight magic to confirm; For example, don't use a wide range of attacks or anything when you do it.

Then the most important change is to kill as little as possible, so more often than not, he insists on using confessional magic to enlighten others.

Although it is enough to always blow people's heads up, it is all because those people are really evil!

In addition, he no longer talks to passers-by, and leaves as soon as he finishes his errands.

Ironically, the false report frightened many people with bad intentions who were always worried that they would be approached by the skullbreaker, and they really thought that the skullcrusher was the kind of vicious person who did not dare to take hostages to blackmail him.

So far, Gallo has only encountered one hostage-taking incident, and his experience in this regard is very insufficient.

What's more, it's still daytime, and there is only a dumb person around me, and I don't even bring Amiya.

However, he shouldn't have to do it today, so many people have already gathered here, not to mention that there is also a team from the Supreme True God Sect present.

And this squad looks very powerful, consisting of two paladins, three priests, and five crusaders, which is much stronger than a regular squad.

They must have been very professional in handling such cases, and I should have full trust in their professionalism...

"Anyway... We need to figure out the situation first..."

Gallo whispered.

Just at this time, Wendini also noticed him, and hurriedly trotted to meet him.

"Why are you here?"

She asked curiously.

"You may not believe it, but we're here today to talk to Lady Carola about security..."

Gallo said with a smile in his eyes.

Wentini looked embarrassed, pointed to the team of the Supreme True God Cult who was watching from the periphery, and said:

"What a coincidence, this group of people from the Supreme True God Cult is also here for this..."

Gallo didn't think much of it, and asked:

"Hostage-taking?"

"Hmm..."

Wentini nodded, with a look of embarrassment, and continued:

"Actually, it was a group of homeless refugees, ten people in all, who either went bankrupt in the disaster, or lost their loved ones, and in any case ran out to take revenge on society, and then happened to break into Lady Carola's mansion."

"Fortunately, Madame went out at that time and was not kidnapped, only some ordinary servants and maids were caught..."

Finally, she sighed again:

"Alas... In the past few days, there has been a surge in cases of robbery, theft, brawls and other cases, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, and even our nine departments have been dragged to take charge of this kind of thing. ”

Gallo nodded, and patted Wentini on the shoulder again as a sign of sympathy and comfort.

It has only experienced such a catastrophe, and it is inevitable that the law and order will not be good during this time, and even the old bishop has mentioned that it seems that some people are coveting the orphanage, just because there is a strong church stationed there, and they dare not approach.

The parishion, where the new church is located, was also stabilized by strengthening patrols and dispatching paladins and crusaders to garrison them.

But elsewhere, it's not so lucky...

However, the city guards and the sheriff reacted quite quickly, and it arrived so quickly, which shows that the city lord is also making great efforts to rectify law and order, I believe that this chaos should end soon, right?

Just going to work hard for Wentini them...

"So how should we deal with this situation now?"

Gallo asked very seriously.

He intends to learn how to deal with this kind of hijacking case, which is an obvious shortcoming and blind spot for him, and he should indeed learn the methods of professionals.

"According to the orders of the city lord, it is better to use words to persuade as much as possible, and avoid the use of violence, so as not to provoke more riots and panic..."

"Of course, these people still have to be detained and arrested, and when the situation stabilizes later, they will be liquidated in a centralized manner."

Wentini explained it roughly.

Gallo listened attentively and nodded from time to time.

It seems that the first step is to persuade with good words...

Persuading people to repent and persuading people to change their ways and become a new person must be regarded as good words of persuasion, right?

I know how to do this, and I'm very good at it.

"And if persuasion doesn't work, what's next?"

He continued.

"Then try some simple means first, such as pretending to agree to their conditions first, and let them give up the hostages; Or propose a negotiation to replace the hostages with our people, and then take advantage of the mechanism to subdue them..."

Wentini continued.

Gallo listened and shook his head secretly.

I can't learn this method, I never deceive people, I can't lie.

So he simply skipped this step and continued to ask:

"So what if this method still doesn't work?"

Wentini shrugged his shoulders and replied:

"Then try to consider satisfying their conditions, let them release the hostages and then pursue them..."

"If that doesn't work, you'll have to attack, but that's the worst option, and it's likely to hurt the hostages."

Gallo nodded, and finally asked:

"Then what conditions does the other party propose?"

"They asked for 500,000 gold coins, ten fast horses, and they would not let anyone go out of the city..."

Wendini replied with some anger.

After hearing such conditions, Gallo touched his chin, and after a little thought, said:

"Then it's still a storm, right?"

"Huh?"

Wendini was shocked, how did he jump directly to the last step?

The officers of other people's city guards are still trying to persuade them, so respect the efforts of others a little!

At this moment, a bloody thing suddenly flew out of the villa and smashed at the feet of the officer who had been persuaded so hard.

If you look closely, it's actually a human head!

An innocent servant was killed...

Then, there was a lot of foul language in the villa, as well as a series of lewd laughter and women's cries...

"Everyone outside is listening, hurry up and pay! Otherwise, I'll kill all the people inside!" ”

"Didn't I explain it to you? It's such a big sum of money, it takes time to raise it..."

"Don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, if you don't take any money, we will kill someone every ten minutes! Anyway, we don't have anything, we don't care about anything! ”

"Don't talk nonsense with them, come and enjoy these women, worthy of rich people's maids, each with fine skin and tender meat..."

Gallo watched the scene, listening to these noisy sounds, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.

He's clearly already furious!

When ordinary people are as angry as him, they tend to get hot in their brains and do some impulsive behaviors.

But Gallo, on the contrary, not only remained awake in his mind, but even more sober than usual.

It's a valuable trait he's honed over and over again.

So he first activated the Insight Divine Technique, and through the wall, he confirmed the situation inside.

No traces of the cultists were found, and no fluctuations in power were detected, these people were ordinary people.

Ten gangsters and fifteen hostages were all concentrated on the second floor of the villa.

The weapons used by the gangsters are mainly ordinary swords, which are not difficult to find in the chaos of the previous time.

However, there were three men dressed in full plate armor and armed with crossbows, and they were responsible for carrying the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.

It's kind of weird...

Plate armor and crossbows are both strictly controlled products.

You must know that in such an era of cold weapons, a complete set of plate armor is far more threatening than a weapon, and a crossbow is much more powerful than an ordinary hunting bow.

Ordinary civilians are allowed to possess light weapons such as swords, but it is strictly forbidden to possess plate armor and crossbows, and those who violate the prohibition will be sent directly to the gallows.

Even the nobles' private armies and mercenary groups were not allowed to possess this equipment, and weapon shops were not allowed to sell it.

And the fact that these two pieces of equipment appeared on a group of refugees can't help but make people think deeply...

"Why do they have plate armor and crossbows?"

Gallo couldn't help but ask.

Wendini was obviously aware of the situation, but he couldn't say why, so he could only speculate:

"Maybe they got it from the corpses of the soldiers who died in the line of duty, right?"

This can happen...

Gallo didn't delve into the matter, but retweeted and suggested:

"This gang of gangsters is extremely vicious, and the equipment in their hands is also very powerful, so it's best to ask someone from the Supreme True God Sect to help, right?"

Wentini looked a little dazed, feeling as if he had returned to the old days of investigating cases together, and Gallo was always able to give all kinds of advice like this.

But she hadn't worked with Gallo in a long time, and she missed the familiarity.

So although Gallo shouldn't have been involved in this, Wendini nodded patiently and said:

"They are willing to help, but they are worried about accidentally injuring the hostages, so they will wait for the persuasion of the city guards before taking a look."

Gallo shook his head and said seriously:

"For such thugs, persuasion is obviously ineffective, I suggest that it be attacked directly!"

"But what about the hostages?"

"This... Can I try to figure out a way to get me closer? ”

Gallo asked.

He already had a general idea in his head.

Although this villa is luxurious, it is not too big and the distance between the first and second floors is not too far.

And this gang of gangsters, except for the three staircase guards, the others were busy bullying the maids.

Gallo was going to sneak closer, and then through the wall, give the hostages inside a set of protection magic.

Although this will severely weaken the effect of the magic, it will also protect them somewhat.

As long as the safety of the hostages can be solved, the remaining gangsters are just a group of rabble, which is easy to solve.
