Chapter 47: The Turning Point
Reka turned around and said respectfully.
"Director Eden."
Seeing Eden, Dubo retracted slightly, and moved his stool to the left.
Eden nodded, and sat down in the chair to Dubo's right.
Seeing that everyone didn't mean to speak, Oreo said.
"My lord, do you mean that this woman is right? But I had no idea what was going on! ”
Ignoring Oreo, Dubo turned his head.
"Eden, I've heard that Sheriff Reka's interrogation methods are well-known in the City Patrol?"
Reka's heart tightened, and he glanced at Oreo.
He wasn't afraid that he would kill Oreo, he was afraid that Oreo would go on the spot.
This is the City Patrol Bureau, if he is really violent, then there is no one to hide the truth.
Eden knew what Dubo meant, of course, but instead of making a sound, he stared straight at Oreo.
There are so many things in his eyes that it makes people feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at it.
Eventually, he waved his hand.
"Lord Pravor, I heard you're a detective too?"
Oreo frowned, he hated dealing with this kind of old fox.
"Why, can a profession be convicted?"
"That's not what I meant."
Eden shook his head, "I mean, as a detective, the best way to clear your name is to find the real culprit. ”
Dubo was stunned.
"Eden, what do you mean?"
Before coming, Eden was a rabbit in front of Dubo, but he didn't expect the rabbit to show its fangs.
He avoided Dubo's gaze and reached for the file in front of him.
"There are too many suspicious points in this case, and Master Grove specially explained to me yesterday that this case must not be speculated with common sense."
"What do you mean!"
Duboo was furious, "Grove is just a personal soldier, and I'm the current deputy commander!" ”
Eden also raised his voice, Reka had seen Eden many times, but his attitude had never been tougher than today.
"Deputy Commander Borg, now all of Turin is paying attention to this case, and I am responsible for everyone!"
Dubo stood up, and he looked down at Eden, his tall, thin body curved in an eerie arc, looking like a wolf from the shadow.
"Director Eden, how are you going to be in charge of this case, and how am I going to explain to the 140,000 soldiers of the Black Eagle Army!"
For a while, there was tension in the interrogation room, and seeing this, Reka wondered whether it would be better for him to pull the two apart, or choose to beat Du Bo violently.
However, when he thought of the force of Dubo's breaking of the iron rod just now, Reka secretly dispelled the latter thought.
After a moment, Eden said unhurriedly.
"I'm not under half a point less pressure than you, but the more anxious you are, the more you have to stay calm. As you said, this prostitute identified Lord Pravor as the murderer, and they had never met, so it must not be a coincidence......"
Dubo snorted coldly.
"Say it quickly."
Eden said quickly.
"It just so happens that His Excellency Pravor is anxious to clear his suspicions, so I plan to hand over this case to him, and if he can't solve the case within three days, I will hand over this case to you in its entirety."
Dubo said through gritted teeth.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Don't dare."
Eden shook his head, but his expression wasn't as awe-inspiring as his words suggested.
"Lord Pravor is no ordinary man, he is a friend of His Highness Rhodia, and the two worked together on that expedition to the North. You know, all three empires went on that expedition, and only our people came back alive, so you don't have to doubt Lord Pravor's ability. ”
"Really?"
Dubo was obviously still indignant, but he was much calmer than he had just been.
"Okay, I'll give you three days, and after three days, someone will always give me a satisfactory answer!"
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the interrogation room without looking back.
After he left, Eden rubbed his eyebrows, looking tired.
"Reka, open the handcuffs."
Not knowing what the Director was thinking, Reka hesitated and walked over.
Oreo lifted his head and stared at Reka with a puzzled look, who knew what he wanted to say.
After observing Oreo's expression for a moment, Eden continued.
"I've heard that His Excellency Plavel is very prestigious on Back 3rd Street. Reka, you often go to Back 3rd Street, you may have met before. ”
Hearing this, Reka chuckled in his heart, and he remembered that he had been watched before.
He stood behind Oreo again, pretending to be calm.
"His Excellency Pravor has invested in several brothels...... I think many sheriffs know him. ”
"That's right."
Hearing this, Eden laughed, and Oreo laughed twice, and this laughter was more permeable and more permeable.
Retracting his smile, Oreo rubbed his wrist and squinted at the old fox opposite.
"Director Eden, if I can catch the real culprit in three days, then the city patrol team will give me some compensation, after all, law-abiding citizens like me also have to beg for a living."
"Of course."
Eden nodded, "I have great confidence in the ability of His Excellency Plavor, and on the day the case is announced, I will put your name in front of the City Patrol, not to mention compensation, like solving such a big case, the palace will definitely give us a suitable reward." ”
"It's for the best."
Oreo nodded.
"So Director Eden, can I go back now?"
Eden didn't say anything, as if he was thinking.
After a few moments, he picked up the top hat and trench coat on the table, pretended to be kind and stuffed them into Oreo's arms, and then said in a low voice.
"Your Excellency Plavor, there are some things that are inconvenient to say, but there is one thing I can remind you,"
His voice lowered, "Commander Dubo seems to have decided that you are the murderer. ”
With that, he reached out and patted Oreo on the shoulder.
"Of course you can go back, but I'll send Reka to spy on you, you can understand that."
"Of course I do."
Oreo didn't give Eden face, he pushed the hand away, and walked out quickly.
Reka didn't dare to act immediately, he turned around and stared at Eden suspiciously.
Seeing Reka's puzzlement, Eden coughed twice before speaking.
"That's what Her Highness Redia meant, I'm just doing what I'm told...... You too, don't be hard for him, but don't let him out of your sight either. ”
Hearing this, Reka relieved himself slightly, and he nodded.
"Yes, Director."
......
On the way back, Reka kept trying to ask something, but he couldn't find a chance.
Waiting until the carriage stopped at the end of Ninth Street, while the two officers were feeding the horses, Reca spoke.
"What's going on now?"
"I was used as a gun."
Oreo waved his hand and walked into the office without looking back.
Reka was puzzled, but seeing that Oreo didn't mean to explain, he didn't bother to worry about him.
Commanding his men to park the carriage in front of the office, Reka jumped into the carriage and spoke vaguely.
"Look at this door for me, don't let that little man run away."
