Section B, Chapter 5: Racial Dignity (Vicor)

Both sides looked at each other with extreme dissatisfaction, as if they wanted to fight immediately. The guards almost lost their patience and shouted for a few of them to get out of the way immediately.

Whether it's afraid of not being able to fight or being afraid of causing trouble, it is clear that the other party does not want to conflict. So, for the time being, we can negotiate well. We do seem to be meddling in our business, though......

Of course, we didn't care about the wrong person. It's like saying that history is written by the victors.

"I'll just ask you!" Covering Lucina's mouth to say something, the crow cried impatiently, "Do you think this man has hidden the stolen goods in this house?"

"Definitely, so we have to force him to tell him the whereabouts of the stolen goods so that we can return them to the residents. With a snort, the captain looked impatient: "There's definitely a basement or something." ”

"I said I didn't know the man!" the thief began to scream hysterically. After shouting "shut up", the man shuddered and quieted down, holding his head without saying a word.

"Did the guards try to search here before?" Slowing his tone as slowly as possible, Vicol asked tentatively, "Or, are there any witnesses......?"

"Nothing. Before, the manpower was so tight, how could they pull out someone to search this place? Not to mention that they were only suspicious before, and there was no evidence until they caught this thief. With a snort, the captain's face turned pale: "This is definitely their lair, a den of thieves who are convenient for selling stolen goods." This thief here has been picking up abandoned houses for a long time, and I am afraid that he has his eyes on this room - the rumored haunted house that no one dares to approach is really the best place to hide stolen goods. ”

"But there's obviously no ghost here, we slept here last night. After saying this sentence in a very discordant manner, Lucina seemed to have completely forgotten that she was a ghost, and she had killed a large pot of mushroom soup in the morning: "Besides, the rumors are not so terrible." Apparently someone has been living here for a while, and they have a dog very leisurely......"

"Slow?" Suddenly inspiration came, and Vicol frowned excitedly: "I remember this...... A few of you guards, come and see. ”

I almost forgot about it! I still don't have enough observation...... A little annoyed that he didn't think of it at the first time, Vicol became excited in his heart: this would solve the problem.

The snow crow turned and walked out of the door, and one of the guards shouted in confusion, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll show you the proof!" pinched the pipe in his coat pocket, and Vicor was smug: thanks to Lucina for saying this, there would be no way to stop the guards.

Despite their suspicions, the guards escorted the man down the stairs after exchanging words. Walking straight to the table, Vicol didn't say a word, but pointed to the table: "Look. What's up there?"

"What's wrong?" the servant took a closer look and became impatient: "It's just a pot that hasn't been brushed and a broken bowl that has not been notched, what's so beautiful?"

"The problem is, there's just one bowl in the whole room!" Glancing at the thief, Vicor stroked his black hair and confidently proposed: "If you and your accomplices still live here as a nest point, will the whole house be a single bowl? ”

"This ......" was stunned for a moment, and the captain's expression became complicated: "It does make sense, if this thief really didn't do it, of course we won't embarrass him." Since we don't have any objections on our side, that's it for you to find some more evidence. ”

Unexpectedly, Vicol cleared his throat and shouted, "Frost Wind!"

With a bark of excitement, Frostwind ran down the stairs and sped to Vicor's side.

"Do you know him?" Pointing to the thief, Vicor suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to remove the collar from the puppy, which he didn't like. So after pulling it down, he whispered: "If you don't know, you will call twice, and if you know, you will call once." ”

Frostwind was really smart, and when he approached the thief, he sniffed the smell and screamed twice in succession. After touching his head as a reward, Snow Crow stood up proudly and faced the three of them who were quite surprised: "How is it, do you see? This guy is not an accomplice." Frostwind was the dog raised by the corpse upstairs, but it had apparently never seen the man. ”

"Looks like we're mistaken. Nodding ashamedly, the captain turned his gaze to the relieved thief and snorted, "It's a pity that the stolen goods are gone...... You're in luck, boy! you don't have to get hanged, but going to jail for the third time isn't something that can be solved by squatting for months. If it's in our Ice Rock City, I'm guaranteed to cut off a hand. ”

"Hanging?" Lucina looked puzzled: "How many things did that man steal, hang ......"

"Let me tell you this, that's enough to feed the whole town for seven days. Fortunately, most of them haven't made a move yet. A few days ago, the port was blocked by black ice and could not be shipped, and these days we have strictly guarded" The expression was full of hatred, and the captain looked a little righteous and awe-inspiring: "Let me catch him, I will definitely kill him...... Making a dirty disaster wealth is completely personal scum. Living pollutes the air of the permafrost. ”

It's going to end up in my hands...... Frowning, Vicol felt the same way: if he was the Child of Ice, it would be a great shame. Since there is still a possibility that the stolen property will be returned, it is not yet the worst.

"We searched almost every house, but there was no sign of the stolen goods. Perhaps he was looking forward to seizing the stolen goods here, but the captain sighed, looking extremely lost: "It is estimated that the goods have been shipped out of Beihaiwang." The man may have planned to hide his things somewhere from the limelight, and then take them out when the Breath of Winter is over. ”

"Maybe it's hiding in Eternal Winter, your city's entry is too lenient. Another guard interjected, "And some merchants transport goods every day, even if there are a few more carriages, no one will care." You don't know how many fugitives are hiding there. ”

"It's called free trade, you know? Winterfell's terrain is inherently suitable for commerce. Unlike your Ice Rock City, you only trade with Beihaiwang. How awkward it sounded, Vicol immediately frowned: "It's easy for me to misunderstand your tone, it's like our city and a den of thieves." ”

"Heh, you're not mistaken. That's what I meant by that. Unexpectedly, the guard pursed his lips and said slowly in an extremely arrogant tone: "The Children of Ice are also a group of thieves. You can see it from the attitude with which you indulge the criminals. A thief should—"

However, in the next moment, before he could finish his sentence, he was knocked over by an angry Vicol.
