Chapter 10: Confusion
Tarrant put up a newspaper and read: Last night, the Feathered Angel visited a mansion in the White Mist District again, and after avoiding the guards, he stole about 2,000 gold worth of jewelry, and successfully escaped after stabbing two guards to death after triggering a fierce battle with the mansion guards due to triggering the protection mechanism.
The following is a large detailed description, and at the end of the article, it is emphasized that this is the eleventh day of the Feathered Angel's crimes.
God, is that guy crazy!
"It's a criminal gang, and he can always get away from the security forces. ”
"Gang of criminals?" Tarrant looked at the old butler in surprise, "how do you know?"
"The newspaper the other day. ”
"Bring it all", Tarrant stuffed the rest of the food on the plate into his mouth, this crime was terrible, if Lynn decided to commit a crime, his family could even destroy the entire country's economy, but his goal as a feathered angel was to rebuild the slums, why did it become this scenario, did the impulse to commit crimes get out of control?
A large stack of newspapers lay on the table, "Every day there is news of the Feather Angel," said the old butler.
"Okay, you rest first", Tarrant flipped through the newspaper of the previous day, the same headline, stealing, hurting, incredible, Lynn has a doppelganger cane and bystanders, he is perfectly capable of avoiding traps and guards, why? Unreasonable, Tarrant turned forward, stolen, escaped or injured people and escaped, the crime continued to accumulate, the security army's control was evaded, the seeker guessed that there was a huge organization behind the feather angel, in fact, this is very easy to explain, Lynn wants to get the security army's control map very easily, but violence is not his style, it feels like a completely changed person, Tarrant flipped several sheets in a row, almost the same content, there is a strong law in the crime for eleven days in a row, the target is concentrated in the range of rich people, and the theft is valuables, which is not in line with Lynn's hobby, he prefers to have challenges、A place with new gadgets。
Tarrant re-read those reports, there have been no reports of Feather Angels going to the slums since there was a wounding case, Feather Angels have not been to the slums again, according to eyewitness statements, all the evidence that the thief is the Feather Angel is just that mask, hmph, Tarrant breathed a sigh of relief, impostor, definitely not Lynn, but ...... Since it's not Lynn, how can you explain that the thieves can evade the control, maybe there is really a criminal gang disguised as a feathered angel, which is the sheriff's business.
He casually flipped to the report of the serial murder case, which was concentrated in Hongdu District, Baiwu District, and commercial area, the victims were all women, who had been violated before death, including nobles and commoners, according to the investigation, there was no contact between the victims, that is, a perverted erotoniac, and learned from the report that no clues were found at the scene of the crime many times.
Skilled, cruel, and the continuous crime did not leave a trace to prove that the criminal's actions did not start with Siant, he must have appeared somewhere else, Tarrant suddenly thought of the case in Watt Town, the same sexual assault, leaving no trace, he quickly turned to the report about the last crime, the time was half a month ago, half a month did not appear, the criminal has left Trant, Watt Town is likely to be his doing, shameless thing, he is wandering, this time may have been out of the Serenso into Comohe.
Ryan's confession probably refers to this serial murder, Tarrant can't do anything about it, he is not interested in pursuing it, the matter of the spirit sucking monster is much more important, there is no news about the spirit sucking monster in that stack of newspapers, the empire is completely closed to the source, what the hell is going on, his mind is in chaos, what to drink, Tarrant walked into the kitchen, there was red leaf wine and beer in the cabinet, he picked up a bottle of beer and took a sip, the problem is very messy, you need to sort it out and plan your next move.
He went upstairs softly, opened the door, and returned to the warm room he had not seen for a long time, which made him feel a lot more comfortable, that was the sense of security that there was not in the camping field, he took off his armor, sat on the windowsill and looked at the black clouds outside the window, silent, empty, his mind slowly concentrated, the lair of the spirit sucking monsters had been destroyed, that alliance would definitely protect them, who would it be?
Justin is finished, a character like Wolf can't support this plan, he also saw with his own eyes Patrick and Fredrika's attitude towards the Spirit Sucker, it won't be a falcon, but it will be an ally of Astin, a target community, but it's a pity that Justin died too suddenly, many details have not been checked, Wolf may know some, Tarrant gently knocked on the windowsill and thought rhythmically, Wolf has been expelled from the Falcon, it will take some effort to find him.
He can also consider from another clue, the teleportation station, the group that can cooperate with the spirit absorbing monsters not only requires courage and guts, but also the embodiment of madness and darkness, the ancient wizard will meet these conditions, but this is just speculation, there is no evidence, there are many hidden groups on the Redstone Continent, it is pointless to search aimlessly, and there is no need to provoke the ancient wizard for no reason.
There are other clues, the equipment that flows out of the lair of the spirit sucking monsters, there must be black market merchants, they hide like rats in dark, damp corners and underground tunnels, but it is more difficult for them to find the mastermind behind the scenes, the upper family only needs to use a one-way contact method from top to bottom, even if the black market merchants in the whole city are arrested, they can't find a clue.
The last line, the Emperor, their concealment runs through the entire operation, from the very beginning they have known some key factors and take over and refuse to reveal any information, there must be something, if you want to follow this line Tarrant must face people in the upper echelons of the army, even the Imperial General and the second captain of the Royal Guard after Tarrant's father, this is the last thing Tarrant wants to face. At the same time, Tarrant also has a question, why the empire would leave the lair of Cuilin Mountain to the light of protection, and he can't find a reason, if the nest was also handed over to the empire to deal with, Tarrant would not have discovered the teleportation array at all, and the whole thing would have ended safely, which at least proves that it is not an official organization that cooperates with the spirit absorbing monsters.
The most feasible of the four clues is Wolf, I don't know who is in charge of the Siant Falcon now, Tarrant jumped off the ledge, the stone guard is very badly damaged, he doesn't have a weapon to use, the battle halberd is not suitable for his style, the katana is too light, and the most terrible problem is that he has no money now, and repairing the stone guard is a big problem......
Alas, there were problems everywhere, Tarrant threw himself on the bed, clues, words, faces, and scenes flashed in disorder, his head ached slightly, and he thought that Katrina had slept in this position before leaving, and it would be nice if she was around.
Tarrant slept under the covers in a daze, and he was tormented almost all night in a tangle.
In the early morning, there is a burst of insects chirping in the garden.
Tarantra lifted the quilt, but her head was still dizzy.
"Grid" the slightest sound of footsteps on the floor.
There's someone in the room!Tarrant's mind quickly entered a fighting state, he kept his breathing rhythm and pretended to be asleep, his ears were fully aware of the other man's position, not Stewart's footsteps, not Kira Viton's footsteps.
The other party didn't come in through the window, the air in the early morning was relatively cold, and the sudden drop in indoor temperature when the window was opened would wake him up, and he came in from the door.
The footsteps seemed to stop at the end of the bed, Tarrant grabbed the quilt and waited for the other party's action, but the other party stopped, he squinted and swept a slit at the end of the bed, no one, illusion? The nerves were too tense, Tarrant closed his eyes again, probably because his senses had not recovered yet, after all, he had not fought for a month.
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, quietly adjusting his breathing, and suddenly, he felt another breath in the room, at the end of the bed!
