Chapter 30: The Mighty Demacians
Anne and I followed, and before we could go far, we saw Caitlyn hold down the little thief with a grappler, "Little ghost, you want to run away after stealing your aunt's purse?" Caitlin pressed the aching thief.
"Heroine spare her life! The little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, spare me once! The youngest one has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old baby below. The wallet will be returned to you, and the woman will be asked to raise her noble hand and spare the little horse! The thief begged for mercy with a sad face.
"Yo, a set! Eighty mother, how old are you this year? What a disgrace to your mother! Walk! Go to the police station! Caitlyn scolded.
"Someone stole something!"
"Hit him, shameless! Steal! ”
"Yes, hit him!" Pedestrians on the street began to notice the thieves, and the vendors gathered around. All kinds of eggs and rotten vegetables flew over, and Caitlin quickly flashed and retreated to us.
"The folk customs here are also a little stronger! Why is everyone so jealous and hateful! Looking at the thief, surrounded by pedestrians, I poked Caitlyn, who was standing next to me.
"yes, that's kind of incredible!" Caitlyn shook her head with her chin in her hands.
"Everyone is moving, let them stop! He's just a little thief, he just stole Catelyn's sister's purse, so he shouldn't be punished so much! He's just a teenager! Oriana stamped her foot anxiously and looked sympathetically at the thief.
"Let's stop it! Otherwise, it could easily turn violent! "Caitlin and I rushed into the crowd.
"Stop!" Caitlyn let out a loud shout.
People stopped looking at Caitlin, and Orianna and I hurried to pick up the bruised-nosed thief who had been beaten. The thief looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was sitting on the ground with a panicked face, shivering.
"Who are you? Why should we stop! A diminutive vendor in the crowd yelled at Caitlin.
"He stole someone else's stuff and should be handed over to the police, you have no right to hurt him!" Caitlin said in a straight voice.
"Stealing from others is the most abominable and should be punished!" Another passer-by, A, said indignantly.
"He's just a kid, you shouldn't punish him like this!" Oriana looked at the shivering thief sitting on the ground and shot back at Passerby A.
"Because he is not very old, we punish him so that he will learn a lesson and not dare to make such mistakes in the future. You're outsiders! An older passer-by, B, stepped forward.
Dizzy, what kind of logic is this!
"What's going on up front? What are the big crowds doing here? "It's three patrol officers coming over. The thief on the ground trembled even more.
"It's okay, officer, this boy was hit by a car just now, and we're helping him see if he's hurt?" I explained to the patrol officer with a smile on my face.
"If you are injured, send it to the hospital immediately! What are you doing here? The patrolman asked, confused.
"We're all helping to check his injuries! Now it's certain that he's fine. At this time, a passer-by blocked the patrol officer's view.
"Let's disperse if it's okay!" The patrolman did not look at the thief sitting on the ground again and led the team away.
"Don't steal from anyone else in the future, do you hear?" This is an old man who patiently teaches the thief, "We saw that you were young and spared you and didn't give you to the police, otherwise, your crime would not be as simple as being beaten!" ”
The thief choked up, nodded vigorously, stood up, thanked us, and left.
"I really can't guess this group of people! They are the ones who beat people, and they are also the ones who help the thieves! It's weird! I looked at the scattered crowd and said to Caitlyn.
"Not surprising at all! You haven't been here so you don't know! Caitlin said.
"Oh?"
"A few years ago, I came here to look into the case, and I know their laws. Any form of crime will be punished severely, and there is no misdemeanor in Demacia. The folk customs here are also very simple and strong! So just now, everyone started beating people, probably just to teach the thief a lesson, so that he would not dare to steal again. And helping the thief is because he sympathizes with the thief's young age, and is afraid that he will be caught and punished at the police station! Caitlyn explained to me as she walked.
"Oh, it looks like I'm really wrong to blame this group!"
"Let's go! Go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Catelyn walked briskly forward again.
"Hello, we are the Picheng envoys, this is the ID." Kurlusel handed the document to the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Hello! We have been waiting for you for a long time, and we have been instructed to arrange for you to stay at the inn first, and the government officials will soon receive you! The staff replied with a smile.
"But we have something important to do here, so let's meet your officials first, and then arrange accommodation!" Caitlin can't wait to solve the case, this workaholic.
"I'm sorry, Miss Caitlin, but our officers have important business to do today, and they will definitely receive you tomorrow! I'm so sorry! ”
"But ......"
"Oh, don't do it, let's just listen to others' arrangements! Guests are free to host! I persuaded Caitlin, "We're here to help them solve the case, they're not in a hurry, what are we anxious about?" I whispered to Caitlyn.
"Alright then!" Catelyn nodded in disappointment.
We followed the reception staff to a very large and luxurious inn, which was supposed to be used by the city of Demacia to receive foreign guests. The room is very large, there are many rooms, the equipment is also very complete, and the reception staff is also very polite, but I don't see the shadow of an official.
"We live in such a big house, and we are entertained with good food and drink, but no one talks to us about business, hey, Caitlin, do you think they don't take us seriously at all?" After eating, I sat down on the soft couch and asked Caitlyn.
Catelyn ignored me and sat down in her chair, burying her little face in Jade's hand with a sullen look.
"Hey, Caitlin, let's go out for a walk now, it's okay anyway." I amused Catelyn with a sad face.
"I agree!" Anne, who was playing with the bear, jumped up and raised her little hand when she heard that she was going to go out to play.
"I'm not in the mood! Go ahead! Caitlyn said listlessly.
"Our name is to go out, but we are actually going to Weifu for a private visit to see if there are any clues. Anyway, being idle here is idle. ”
As I expected, as soon as Caitlyn heard the word 'clue', she immediately came to her senses. "Okay, let's go!" Caitlyn's brow finally relaxed.
"Well, do you want to tell the captain?" I pointed next door.
"If you call him, I won't go!" Caitlin glared at me.
"Good! Let's go! "I, Caitlin, Annie, Jinx, and Orianna quietly set off for our five-man action team.
