Chapter 12: Forces

Murder and escape from prison, such a plot has not happened for a long time in Huangyan City, which is known for its peace and security. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 It is said that the lord of the castle was furious when he heard the news, and ordered half of the security personnel in the castle to conduct a carpet search to catch this hateful criminal.

But it's not easy to do. Because the peace of the primordial plane has lasted for hundreds of years, the scale of the city has continued to expand, and many large cities have demolished the walls that have lost their protective role, and Huangyan City is no exception. This means that once a prisoner escapes from the city, it is like a fish entering the sea, and he does not know where to start.

Therefore, until noon, there was still no progress in the arrest operation, but from time to time some citizens would come to the city lord's mansion to report some information.

According to a woman who lives in an old bungalow on the edge of the western suburbs, last night when she went to the water closet not far from her house, she saw several short men in black passing by, and their actions were very strange; The only itinerant night watchman in the western suburbs also said that he had seen a diminutive man pass by on a remote road away from the market, and he tried to stop him, but he disappeared in a flash.

There were also some strange-sounding reports, such as the sight of a cat with a glowing white light running past the balcony, and two humanoid ghosts standing on a blue flying carpet floating away from the sky......

It seemed that overnight, all kinds of strange things appeared in Huangyan City. The investigator in charge of this matter was at a loss and did not know how to report it to the lord of the castle.

Those supernatural phenomena are treated as hallucinations, but many people say that they have seen some people in black active, which is not necessarily fake. What is annoying is that everyone's statements are inconsistent, some say that there is only one man in black, some say that there are five, and some say that it is a small team.

In all the reports, Mrs. Melville's shop where she was attacked attracted particular attention. This is where Dasco Popov was last captured, and after he escaped from prison, he was inexplicably attacked, apparently in an intentional act of revenge.

The sheriff finds a sharp dagger stained with venom in the shop, some blood stains that have not yet dried up. Also, Mrs. Melville's son had inexplicably disappeared last night.

And just as the inquisitors were busy putting together all the materials, Sam, as a key figure, appeared at the door of the City Lord's Mansion at a very timely time.

Of course, all the storylines were carefully designed by Annie, and in this Niko's mind, the whole thing changed to a different way.

When Sam came back from the bar last night, he remembered that there were still some goods in the store that needed to be sorted out, so he didn't go straight home. But when he entered the store, he was suddenly attacked and had many wounds on his body. After desperate resistance, the criminal finally lost the upper hand, threw down the dagger and ran.

"Do you see the man's face clearly? Also, in which direction did he flee? ”

"It's the fat man who was arrested during the day yesterday, and he will never admit his mistake." "I chased him for a long time, and finally disappeared near a stone house. ”

"Take us there." The investigator stood up, a faint excitement on his face.

Half an hour later, Sem led a group of cavalry to the lonely stone tower.

The inquisitor at the front of the cavalry team frowned slightly when he saw the house in front of him. A few months ago, he was the security captain in the western suburbs, responsible for patrolling and arresting thieves, and he was familiar with the nearby buildings, but he couldn't recall such an independent house in his mind.

"Go in and search!" The Inquisitor ordered.

Just as the cavalry were about to dismount and go inside to take a look, a young voice suddenly sounded in the middle of the procession: "Sir, the city lord has ordered that this house does not need to be inspected at any time. ”

"Is there such a thing?" The inquisitor sniffed the warning in these words, hesitated, and turned his head to look over inquiringly.

"Sir, this is an order from the city lord to the previous sheriff, and you were not in charge of this area at that time."

Although he felt that this matter was a bit strange, since it was the order of the city lord, he had no power to change it by virtue of his position, so he had to temporarily send two people to guard nearby, and he took a large group of people and horses straight to the city lord's mansion. He had to figure out what was going on.

After a while, the two cavalrymen who remained behind received an order to close their ranks.

It was almost time to find out the truth, but in the end he gave up without explanation, which surprised everyone. In the primordial plane of the supremacy of the law, such a situation in this city that claims to be "peace and security" is indeed unacceptable for a while.

In the heavily guarded city lord's mansion, the burly city lord of Huang Yan City, wearing a luxurious robe, said the following to the investigator who was standing by the bow while wiping the long sword that had been handed down from his ancestors and said to have cut off countless heads:

"The laws of the seven kingdoms of the earth are the most important norms for maintaining normal order, but why should we maintain order? For fairness and justice? Joke. Thirty years ago, my father wanted to hand over the position of the city lord of Huangyan City to my brother, but that unsuccessful brother only thought about the so-called justice all day long, and even killed the son of a nobleman who had committed a crime with his own hands. This fatal mistake made him lose his position as the city lord, and cheapened you and me. ”

"So remember, don't try to challenge a higher power at any time. Law and justice can protect our people from harm, but their most important and primary role is to keep us on our feet. If it goes against that purpose, then forget about it. The big city lord patted his son on the shoulder, "In another ten years, you will personally take over the position of city lord from my hands, but in these ten years, you still have a lot to learn." ”

……

The matter fell apart, much to Pigey's surprise. Anne, on the other hand, seemed to be calm, as if she had foreseen this.

"Those who have the ability to raise so many killers are really not ordinary people. Now that the rules of the law have lost their validity to them, we have to resort to other means. Anne thought for a moment, "It's not good for us if the time drags on, and it's best to do it tonight." ”

Rely on the strength of the two of them to serve people's nests tonight? Piger's ears drooped involuntarily.

He knew that Anne was extraordinary, but that humble house was a little strange to say. This is not Atlantis, even if he is a demigod-level fallen angel, if he accidentally injures the hidden weapon, he will bleed.

Looking at Annie's expression, it is estimated that even she herself feels that this matter is a little unreliable.

While the man and the dog were pondering their problems on the edge of the balcony, there was a slight knock on the door.
