Chapter 33 The situation is turbulent

The scene of the assassination of Dawn Meyers was brought under the control of the Secret Police Department in the morning, and idlers and irrelevant good deeds were strictly forbidden to enter and leave the scene of the destruction at will.

Because he belongs to two systems with the city guards, he has received strict training and has accumulated rich experience in dealing with criminals in the dark world, and uses his proud weapon, magnifying glass, and tape measure to collect enough clues, and in turn deduce the process of the crime.

This wonderful psychic capture and substitution technique replayed itself in the fantasy world of his mind, and as more and more clues were added, the broken puzzle pieces gradually came to pieces, except for some supernatural elements that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, and the veteran detective rushed out the first draft of the written report before the end of lunch.

The Dark Police Department immediately called an emergency meeting, and in the watchtower of the Mayers Textile Mill, the three leaders of the Night Knights, including Titus, were the top aces in terms of personal force and brains, Senior Inspector Morse, Intelligence Officer Monton, and Graynest Host and Third Inquisitor Fran Sisko.

"In connection with the robbery of the body at the execution ground, it is clear that Mr. Dawn Meyers could not clear the suspicion of murdering Sir Ogden Norton by the assassins who hired the broken mask. After flipping through the manuscript, Titus thought deeply before speaking.

"It is reasonable to deduce that the Broken Masks believe that their Level 3 members have been betrayed by Mr. Meyers, and this is most likely just a warning or a lesson. We all know that the members of the Merchant Federation are fighting each other to the death, but it is rare for them to send assassins to each other to carry out bloody killings or revenge, because they have crossed too many lines, they are businessmen, not the bosses of the dark world. "After seeing the scene, especially the corpse of the veteran mercenary Mantis brothers, Intelligence Officer Monton concluded that it was a senior member of the Broken Mask who was proficient in the power of shadows.

"Isn't Sir Ogden Noor's behavior suspicious? Withdrawing from the guards sent by the merchants' association, he went to the crowded commercial district alone at night for shopping and recreation, but there was a flaw here, he was wearing rare Mithril soft armor, armor as light as a feather and as hard as a dragon's scales, and he really cherished his life. "Gray Nest host Fran Sisco has no shortage of malicious speculation, he has seen many virtuous gentlemen, behind which there is a vile true face, and the methods are often worse than the street gangsters, and some ridiculous tricks are not that no one sees through, but because of their usual proper disguise.

"Do you mean that the real employer of Musk, a veteran thief shadow figure who is not famous in the dark world, is actually Sir Norton, but he hired him in the name of Mr. Dawn Meyers, and then asked Musk to assassinate himself in a designated place, in order to cover up the flaws, and deliberately pretended that the theft was not a farce of anger and anger? Isn't it a little funny how Sir Norton can win the trust of the Broken Mask and convince them that the person sent out to contact him is Mr. Meyers' man, and also make a 'script'? Titus couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't want to make simple things too complicated.

"The senior members of the merchants' federation are surrounded by a large group of people who have taken the initiative to surround them, as long as they check the brokers and managers with whom the Meyers family has close contacts, and if there are any recent disappearances, I believe that there will be something to be gained. In addition to being in charge of the ears and eyes of the Secret Police Department, Intelligence Officer Monton also has his own secret stakes and informants, which he uses as a channel to learn secrets that many of his colleagues do not know.

The two leaders of the Night Knights, who are responsible for different aspects, also spoke, and the senior inspector Morse did not express his position, as a clerk to record the words and deeds of his partners and friends with a pen, no matter how strong his investigative ability is, he is not omniscient, and he needs his colleagues to look at the case from different angles, and use this as a starting point to explain the views and opinions, and finally brainstorm for the second draft.

After all, this case involves a former high-ranking member of the Merchants' Federation, a current high-ranking member, a secret society that has been resurrected by the high-ranking lords, a criminal who has been punished by the ring, and a high-ranking assassin who may be a core member.

More broadly, as a result of the turmoil in the textile mills caused by the sudden departure of Mr. Meyers, nearly 1,500 hired workers became part of the army of unemployed, and the workshop district was almost like a great enemy, lest it have a domino effect that would involve the Night Watchmen and even the City Guards.

It is not yet known how much the town hall paid in private to gain the Earl of Eastwood's forgiveness, but all sane people know that the exchange of interests is certainly not a small amount.

As the long sword and shield in the earl's hand, to fight and prevent the endless crimes in the dark world, the pressure on the Dark Police Department can be imagined. They were like horses that have been whipped by a knight's whip, and they mustered up all their strength to run wildly.

The Secret Police Department was almost all dispatched to operate according to a freshly released list.

For people of status and status, it is just an invitation to drink tea, politely complete the conversation at a tavern or restaurant, or call it a question, and then arrange for a carriage to send them away.

As for those brokers and middlemen who wander in the gray area and often deal with the dark world, they are all greeted by impersonal greetings that break into the door, and if they cooperate obediently, they can get some kind treatment, if they resist and resist, what awaits them will be slaps and fists, and even lynching if they are heavier.

The city hall issued a search warrant, the heavily armed city guards endorsed it, and the secret police station, known as the hounds of the Earl of Eastwood, combed through almost all the districts, including the Morgan district, where wealthy merchants gathered.

In just three days, the Gray Nest was overcrowded, tortured and tortured all day long, red-hot soldering irons and water-soaked rope whips took turns on the field, and indeed prying open the mouths of many suspects with clenched teeth, collecting many clues, and solving many old cases.

However, the whereabouts of the most important contact person for the Broken Mask have been unknown, so no matter how much the Secret Police Department is interested, it will not be able to put together the last piece of the puzzle.

"Removing the Broken Mask once and for all, maybe we should be able to find evidence from their lair, but it's too costly. Rufer West, who was watching the incident, came up with a solution once and for all.

These days, the Night Watchman is also busy enough, delaying the time for many team members to use their rest time to run their respective industries, and who is responsible for the lost money, no one!

Aldrich Triss said nothing about Captain West's bad intentions, and now that the situation had become clear, he decided to help the orphan girl Lynn get rid of the contract she had signed with her old master due to debt and return to her own self-inflicted life.

The balance of the bounty recovered from Rufer West was less than a hundred silver deleters, but he believed it would be enough to redeem Lynn's deed.

After breakfast, Knight Tris helped set up the dishes in the open-air cafeteria. He was very nimble with his hands and feet, and he poured a bunch of cups and plates into the hot water basin, and he was not afraid to push them back and forth in the heat, and within two strokes, the plates were clean.

After sloppy folding, give it to Lynn to rinse with clean well water, and then place it in the sideboard, and as time goes by, the warm sun gradually rises, and the water will naturally dry.

"I can't learn this method. Lynn couldn't help but shake her head when she saw that Knight Tris's hands were as red as boiled prawns.

"You can start with warm water and gradually increase the temperature to acclimatize, instead of using hot water as soon as it comes up, I know that's too hard for you. Aldrich comforted her.

This scene made Aunt Rosie, who was cleaning the small copper spoons in the nearby sink, feel a little sad in her heart, why didn't she meet such an excellent, empathetic, and helpful foolish knight when she was young?

Looking at her arms that can stand on people, her waist as thick as two buckets, and comparing it with Lynn's graceful young body, she keeps complaining, smoke rises above her head, and her grievances don't come to one place.

With the observation of the past few days, Aldrich has established himself in the Night Patrol Knights and has a lot of prestige, and his proximity to Captain West has weakened the favor of the senior 'old man' towards him, but he is still a powerful voice.

Aunt Rosie, who saw the situation clearly, gave in, and the deeper reason was that her temptation to persuade Captain West to deal with the Triss Knight had not worked, so the observant cook retreated. However, she was still very dissatisfied, and secretly hated that she had fed Rufu West with Silverdeler, but he did not go along with her wishes.

Who do you think you are?

Captain West's eyes and indifference were the best answers, and Aunt Rosie suddenly remembered that if it weren't for the introduction of this relative, she would not have come to the Night Watch to replace her predecessor as the head of the open-air canteen and the cook.

In order to save money, she did not hire helpers, and did all the dirty and tiring work by herself, and worked hard to deduct some money from the mouths of the Night Watchmen, and also paid tribute to Captain West. If it weren't for his own brains, he would have no future if he climbed up to those talented cooks in the city guards and joined any sisterhood.

After finishing the chores in the open-air cafeteria, Aldrich took Lynn to the workshop area, and the girl who was a blue-clad weaver was a little uneasy in her heart, afraid to face the boss who had single-handedly controlled her fate, but Lynn still resolutely followed.

After all, the girl once 'died' once, stepped into the underworld with one foot, and was fortunately found by the Knight of Tris on a black horse, and picked up a life. So as long as Aldrich was by her side, Lynn was fearless, for his presence gave hope to the girl, like the dawn of the dawn, the light in the depths of the gray sky.

The destination they went to, the Kirk Textile Mill, had recently absorbed part of Dawn Meyers' legacy, with cheap, cheap hired labor, and plenty of manpower to fill all the looms, so there was little interest in returning Lynn to the nest. Neither the overseer nor the foreman was going to report it to Mr. Kirk.

A frustrated Kirk has recently been targeted by the Secret Police Department, and he is one of the supporters of City Hall Councillor Anse Claire.

Titus, one of the leaders of the Night Knights, is clearly a personal vendetta, and in order to repay the embarrassment of the confrontation at the gate of the Greynest, he begins to attack Councilor Claire and the supporters behind him.

Many withdrew, recouping their funds, and Titus smoothly cut the foliage, and now it was finally the turn of the main branch.

Kirk knew that his could not withstand scrutiny, and in the past, Anse Claire would intervene to solve it for him, but now the position of the councillor himself is a little shaky, so this way is obviously not going to work.

Then the only way to end this road is to give money!

He also wanted to go to the Merchants' Union to intervene, but Meyers' death aroused the vigilance of the bigwigs, who decided to clean the interior, keep the good seeds, remove the rotten bruises, and beat them through the people of the Secret Police Department, trying not to burn themselves so as not to dirty their hands.

Aldrich was closed, but the words had already arrived, and he could only lead Lynn back to the Night Watchman with a sigh of relief.

"Don't be discouraged, everything will be fine. ”

Lynn nodded vigorously, her mood was a little complicated now, looking at the back of Knight Tris, the girl's feelings suddenly sprouted.

Oh, that's a knight, how could he take a fancy to a country girl like me. ’
