Just after Lucina drank the soup against Vicol's inexplicably resentful gaze, like a child who had been robbed of sugar, she suddenly felt uncomfortable: What is the matter with this snow crow?

Is it because I haven't eaten enough? If I don't say it sooner, I'm not responsible. The soup wasn't made for you alone.

Picking the last mushroom out of the empty pot, Lucina enjoyed putting it in her mouth and swallowing it, patting her stomach: yes, yes. These snow mushrooms have a unique aroma that resembles mint.

"Someone is coming. Standing by the window, Vicol suddenly said, "Three local guards dressed up, and a civilian. ”

"Civilian?" Hearing this, Lucina was puzzled: what are civilians doing here?

After a while, the guards knocked on the door. After the snow crow opened the door for a few people, the visitor only spoke a few words and went straight up the stairs. Looking at the worried-looking civilian male, Lucina suddenly understood what he might have come to do.

A: He knew the victim. B: The house was his, but he abandoned it.

"A few of you, please come along, too. It seemed that his brain was in water, and the leading guard didn't remember to remind a few people until he was almost over the stairs. However, this is purely superfluous, because the three of them have consciously followed the pace.

It's hard to bear that the short distance of the stairs seems incomparably long. Because these four people have a straight face, as if they are dead mothers.

"Hey, why do you guys look so serious?" Lucina was so depressed that she couldn't breathe, "Can't you say a word? You guys called a mad dog, right?"

"No, it was Mr. Seresja who called it. Answering this question in a serious way, the man didn't know Mad Dog at all: "When we are on official duty, we should avoid unnecessary conversations. ”

Aren't these people the Children of Frost...... The work attitude is meticulous and rigid.

I said...... Are you the Ice Rock People?" Stunned by the routine perfunctory reply, Lucina asked before Vicol could say anything, "But you are indeed wearing local clothes, you are not the Children of Frost?"

"We are, why do we think that? The guards of both cities have changed into the town's guard uniforms when they arrive here. Frowning, the captain's expression under the iron helmet was as if he was looking at a work of art that he couldn't understand: "You are the two Aiya of Eternal Winter City and the snow crow who made the big news a while ago...... That's just right, and I don't have to carry you on my back. ”

I guessed it......

After the captain said this, several people arrived on the second floor. The captain took the lead and walked into the house where the tragedy occurred, and then his eyebrows were twisted: "Damn, I haven't seen a corpse that died so badly......"

I can see a lot. Looking at the deceased sympathetically, Lucina expressed her silence: Fortunately, this man did not suffer much before he died. It looks like he was stabbed in the vital part and killed directly.

"Hey, boy!" Seeing that the civilian was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and trembled, a soldier viciously picked him up and pushed him forward: "Why are you still stunned?

The civilian stumbled forward, falling to the ground with a sturdy weight due to the unsteady center of gravity. One of the guards standing next to the corpse looked furious and kicked him again, causing him to let out a wail of pain.

"Stop me! you're doing this to civilians?" angrily stopped the three guards who were moving, and Vicol was full of displeasure: "Why did he provoke you?"

"It's none of your turn, Snow Raven. Do you know what this man has done?" With a face full of disdain and disgust, the captain pointed at the man's nose and scolded: "This kid took advantage of the emptiness of the town's garrison a few days ago and stole a lot of things. But his brain is very stupid, and he is still stealing when the garrison has increased. It just so happened that we were caught the day before yesterday. We reckon he just brought all the stolen goods here and hid them. ”

"No, I didn't do it! I stole the money once in a single thought! Literally, once! Why don't you believe me!" the civilian panicked.

"Then why are you so scared? Didn't you see your accomplice dead?" the captain pressed forward step by step, without any intention of backing down.

"No, I—I don't know him!" Shaking his head repeatedly, the thief looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown, "I'm afraid of this corpse!

"Damn, it's still hard-mouthed! It seems that I haven't learned enough lessons. Picking up the thief viciously, the captain spat on the ground and punched the man in the face. But at that moment, Lutha poked her cane and smashed the soldier's fist open.

Lusa...... Surprised, the mage was stunned for a moment, not even figuring out what was going on.

"Well done, Lusha!" Stopping the thief behind him, Snow Crow gritted her teeth in disgust, "You soldiers are really disgraced to Ice Rock City! Listen to what you just said - we 'estimate' that he just brought all the stolen goods here and hid them?

"Of course, I'm not saying he's innocent. Before the captain, who had been hurt by the cane, let out a roar in his thick voice, the snow crow pushed the thief away, and said with a gloomy face: "It's just that you want to impose charges without any evidence, which is unjust." Could it be that the honor of the Ice Rock people is worthless here?"

"Don't talk to me about honor, you Yongdong riffraff who blew up our catapult with a trick!" Although he was already enraged, the captain did not lose his mind at all, just rubbed his swollen wrist and grinned: "He is the only suspect, and you really believe this habitual thief?" Beihaiwang guards can tell us that this little thief is not the first time to steal. He had been in prison twice before, but he had not repented at all. Knowing this, what else do you want to say?"

"This ......" was really stunned for a moment, the snow crow stayed in place for two seconds, and then insisted on his opinion after glaring at the thief angrily: "It's been a long time, your main purpose is to extract a confession, just to collect the corpse?"

"Of course. The dead are dead anyway, and our focus is naturally on the living. Unmoved, the captain's tone was surprisingly calm: "The more flustered he is, the more he can verify our conjectures." Don't you think he looks unnatural?"

Sort of, indeed. Glancing at the thief, Vicol frowned: maybe he did it, the bastard who couldn't control it. But it is simply unwise to wronged people without any reason.

And the attitude of these people is so bad, it's like ...... With a chuckle in her heart, Snow Raven remembered how irritable she had been the last time she had caught someone suspected of being a spy.

It's like looking in a mirror.
