Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mystery of the Disappearance of the Fog (3)

"Does he recognize me?"

His pupils dilated, and Bill saw in Shawey's eyes that his eyes were distracted.

His brain went blank for a moment, but he quickly blinked, and suddenly recovered, smelling the thick smell of smoke from the man in front of him.

Sha Wei did not let go of any slight change in expression.

He was sure that this man was hiding something very important, which could be a secret affair or the direct cause of Viscount Goode's disappearance.

But without evidence, he can only intimidate.

......

There was silence in the interrogation room, and all eyes were on Bill.

Think for a moment, then speak slowly.

Shawe didn't ask specific questions, just let Bill say it himself, and he began to answer in circles.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Sheriff, I don't understand what you're saying, I don't hide anything about Viscount Goode's disappearance. ”

"If it has nothing to do with Viscount Goode's disappearance, it means that you are hiding the truth about other things. ”

Shawei tried to induce.

“...... This is not a concealment, after all, he did offend many people, whether it was a man or a woman. ”

"No nobleman would show his status as brazenly as Viscount Goode, and his disappearance is quite normal. ”

"It's not a good thing to be overly ostentatious. ”

Bill chuckled, gradually mastering Shavoy's trap and regaining his composure.

"It's really important to stay calm, and I almost got some problems with him. 」

"So what?"

"So I can name at least three things that could be related to the kidnapping of the Viscount. ”

"But you should ask the butler for more details, I am only a reporter, not a detective or a police officer, and I am not obligated to help you solve the case. ”

Sheriff Shawei leaned against the gray wall and did not refute, only frowning slightly, puffing out smoke rings.

He didn't expect this man to discover his true purpose so quickly, things are a little difficult to do.

When the butler heard Bill's words, he also calmed down, glaring at Bill angrily with a fierce gaze.

"Of course, civilians have an obligation to help solve crimes, especially if the missing person is still a nobleman, which is clearly stipulated by the law. ”

"If we don't cooperate, we can still take the necessary measures, don't you even know about this?"

"And Mr. Cliff, it doesn't seem like a standard voice to listen to you, you ......"

"It's not a native!"

Sergeant Shawei spoke slowly, his eyes shining.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Bill's back, as if all the secrets had been seen through by the man in front of him, but he still pretended to be calm and frowned.

"Damn!"

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have professional training in espionage, so why do I have to deal with the police!"

"I knew these hounds were very tough, so I saw them all walking around!"

"Damn!"

A wave of anger rose in his heart, and emotions fluctuated.

"Now, then, Mr. Cliff, tell me honestly what secrets you have not yet revealed, and who instructed you to follow Viscount Goode. ”

"Are you a foreign spy?"

"I want to know it all. ”

Swallowing saliva unconsciously, Bill looked around.

He saw that everyone's eyes were full of scrutiny, doubt, surprise, and defensiveness, and he was alone.

"Why do they feel ......?"

"Confused?"

「......」

"I don't know enough about the country, but all civilians know the law?"

"How is it possible, if a country that relies on Sunday schools for stability can have such a high quality of citizens, then lawyers can disappear forever!"

The heart beats more than 120 times per minute, and you can think quickly about the situation.

Bill knew that even if someone was caught behaving abnormally, he would never tell the truth.

"That guy is still cheating on me!"

"No kidding, how could I be a foreign spy?"

"Sheriff Shawei, I didn't go to school, and no one taught me about the law, but you can't slander at will!"

"I came to the capital from the countryside three years ago, and I survived with the help of Mr. Thomas, and I didn't have a tutor to tell me how to pronounce every word!"

"If pronunciation problems can be proof, then poor children who have never gone to school are traitors!"

"My identity comes from, the new editor-in-chief Thomas can testify for me, and everyone in the newspaper can!"

"What questions do you have?"

"If the question ends, I ask for my release!"

"You don't have the right to imprison me, a poor ordinary person at the bottom of society who relies on bank loans to survive!!"

Slamming the tin table, Bill let out a roar, his voice hoarse with excitement, his face red, and the beastly roar echoing through the cold room.

Even if it was not so rational, his words calmed the scene, and the whole interrogation reached an impasse.

"You ......"

"Mr. Cliff, don't get excited, I'm not laughing at your identity......"

Sha Wei wanted to speak and stopped, after all, as his first heir to the marquis, he could not continue to ask.

This is the arrogance of the aristocracy.

Bill veiled all speculation.

He had already decided that as long as the police could not produce valid evidence that he had anything to do with the Viscount's disappearance, there was no reason for them to keep him locked up.

In particular, he is also a reporter for radical newspapers, and private newspapers like nothing more than to seize on the government's grip and demand government reform.

"These are just speculations, Mr. Cliff, and please don't misinterpret me. ”

Sighing deeply about his cigar, Savoy was also in trouble.

"You can leave, but only after I make sure you're not suspicious. ”

"Sheriff Shawei, you can't let him go, it's definitely him who kidnapped my old ......"

"Sheriff Shawey, it's not good!"

Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, an anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the door of the interrogation room, and a policeman pushed the door in, interrupting the housekeeper's words, looking panicked.

"Sheriff Shawei, many newspaper reporters suddenly appeared outside, saying that the government's treatment of the safety of the nobles is more important than everything else, and the police department will arrest innocent people at will!"

"What?"

The assistant police officer immediately nervous.

There are many differences between the capital police and the local police station, and the closer to the center of power, the more complicated the matter tends to be, and the greater the resistance.

Especially today, with the rise of the bourgeoisie, middle class and working class, the resources of the country have been redivided, and the aristocracy can no longer cover the sky with one hand.

Therefore, the police department should not act recklessly and ignore these rumors and cause social chaos.

Just like the cases that Savoy has just returned to the Britts Police Station to take over, the delay in the progress of the cases is related to the radical private party, and it has become difficult for the police to collect evidence.

"Sergeant Shawey, what now?"

“...... Let him go. ”

Ignoring the butler's obstruction, Shawei quickly made a decision.

In fact, he rarely struggles, and he has a clear set of criteria for judging the urgency of things, which is an important reason why he is reluctant to return to the capital.

Too many eyes were on Shawei, and those people were always expecting him to do something deviant, and to take the opportunity to criticize the aristocracy for his incompetence.

Although these have little to do with a petty sheriff, he represents the aristocratic forces behind him, and those newspapers like to see the arrogance of aristocratic officials the most.

That's why Savoy chose to go to Ji Kranci to take up a post and hide his aristocratic identity, but there was another mining disaster in that place, the situation was even more dangerous and chaotic, and countless foreign forces and unofficial organizations surfaced.

Therefore, when the Stamford family learned of the mining accident, they arranged for Shawei to return to the capital as soon as possible, and he could only obey the family's arrangement.

After all, being able to handle cases at the grassroots level and have direct contact with various criminal cases is already the family's bottom line for him, he is the only son of the family, the first heir to the title, and the overall situation must be considered!

Only a minor aristocrat like Viscount Goode, who had nothing to do with politics, could act recklessly, and even so, the newspaper kept on its toes with his news.

"Congratulations, Mr. Cliff, you're good to go. ”

"Thank you. ”

"No thanks. ”

Under the angry gaze of the police, Bill walked out of the interrogation room leisurely, and the butler stared at his back fiercely, hating him to the core.

After Bill left the interrogation room, the assistant police officer was still indignant.

"Sheriff Shawe, we're just going to let him go?"

"We haven't gotten any clues about Viscount Goode, and even if he didn't do it, he knows several suspects......"

"It's okay, the reputation of the police station is more important now, I'll explain it to the chief. ”

......

He took out his cigar and lit it again, and took a hard puff, now he could only numb his irritable mood with tobacco.

Thick smoke filled the interrogation room, obscuring the vision.

The picture is erratic, as if everything is a phantom, so false that people can never touch the truth.

The ominous feeling reappeared, and Sheriff Shawei fell into thought again, sighing slightly.

"What the hell am I ......?"

"What ...... overlooked"
