Chapter 283: The Depressed Knight Chief
Knight Captain Reims has been depressed lately. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fredon is a country known for its freedom, and it is responsible for maintaining this freedom, and Captain Reims is also very aware that there is a tacit bottom line for such a "freedom".
The various sects that exist in the territory have always been a great problem for His Majesty. After all, with the experience of the Hori Kingdom, no one dares to underestimate those small sects that seem to be obscure, and if they are not careful, they may step on their heads.
Like this one, a detached sect in Riley City was attacked. It wasn't a big deal, but His Majesty still ordered him and another official to be sent out, and something must be investigated.
Can...... What can he find out?
The case is simple, a group of street thugs attacked the street and burned down the monastery here. And by the time they investigated, the gangsters didn't know where to hide. The leader of the crime also hanged himself on a nearby street and committed suicide.
If he was vague and held the guy's head, Lance could still close the case. It's a pity that His Majesty's personality can't be ambiguous at all, especially when it is involved with sects, and the matter is even more serious.
-- They don't want to leave this hellish place until they figure out the ins and outs and get some decent physical evidence.
That alone was enough to make him depressed.
In the days that followed, they were stationed near these streets, patrolling every day, occasionally raiding and looking for useful clues. However, whenever he tried to question the inhabitants of the place, the inhabitants began to babble a bunch of nonsense that they did not understand at all, which made Lance even more angry.
These people have lived in Freden for so long that they can't even speak a lingua franca?
Lance certainly doesn't believe this. However, because sectarian issues are relatively sensitive, he can't use those tough methods, so he can only let those natives pretend to be deaf and dumb, and there is no way to do anything about it.
In this way, they are stuck here, watching the days go by, but there is no progress at all. The officials who came with him did not deal with him, and after a while they came to disgust him. Then the soldiers under him were still restless, and there was some friction with the local garrison a few days ago, and the officers of the people came to him to question him, but what could he say?
When he woke up last night, Lance noticed that he had lost a lot of his hair.
After so much time has passed, and the possibility of finding clues is getting smaller and smaller, how else can he solve this case?
Go back and ask Your Majesty directly......
The idea of giving up is also becoming more and more vivid in his heart.
However, just today, his patrol soldiers came back early, saying that they had arrested someone.
Did he arrest someone because he found a clue? No, it was because he was crazy and insulting, and he kicked a soldier in the ass and twisted his waist to the waist.
“......”
Can you imagine the frustration that Lance felt when he hid in his room, trying to glue his hair back, only to hear the news and almost tear a piece of his scalp off?
He wanted to kill.
Really, the kind that is particularly cruel.
"Knight, we ......"
Lance endured his raging anger and interrupted the soldier's words: "What about the brains? What do you think you are here for? Fight with the soldiers in the next battalion, it's okay, I'll apologize to you and it's over." But now, you've been kicked and broken in the waist? What the fuck are you soldiers! Go home and raise pigs!"
The soldiers panicked and hurriedly explained: "No, Master Knight, we are because of ......."
Unfortunately, Lance was not in a state of being able to listen to the explanation: "Okay! Why don't you let the people go! If the news gets out, what do you want the locals to think of us? The soldiers bullied the people, and as a result, they were taught a lesson by the civilian heroes who stood up, and those newspaper people liked to write like this." Also, if I let the camp next door know about this, I'll be laughed at for the rest of my life!"
"No, Lord Knight......"
"Enough, what is there to explain, don't let people go quickly, don't make a big deal out of it, otherwise it will alarm Your Majesty, and even I will be implicated. ”
"No, my lord, Mikel is interrogating that person right now, and we can't release him. ”
Hearing this, Lance was stunned.
Mikel......
That yin and yang weird old and cunning entourage official?
Finished.
That guy was originally an entourage inspector sent by His Majesty the King, and he had a pair of small eyes, staring at him all the time!
It's good for now, this gang of waste got into trouble, but it just happened to fall into the hands of that guy. At this moment, that guy must be so happy that his ass is up to the sky, why don't you take this opportunity to try his best to kill himself?
Lance felt a little black in front of his eyes.
It's a pity that he was born and died conscientiously, and it was not easy to get to this point, but as a result, the knight chief has been in office for a few years, and he has to give up his position. He lost unjustly......
You say, how did he end up with such a group of subordinates?
"Knight-sir, Knight-sama, what's wrong with you?"
Under the continuous call of the soldiers, Lance gradually came back to his senses. He looked at the frightened soldier in front of him, and suddenly, the whole person was like a deflated ball, and the anger disappeared without a trace, leaving only full of sorrow.
No matter how much he scolds, what's the use?
Maybe...... Maybe the situation wasn't as bad as he thought, and Mikel didn't ask anything useful.
He'd have to go over and take a look.
"You wait here, wait for me to come back, and then slowly clean you up!" Lance stood up and hurried out the door.
The mayor of Riley City didn't deal with them either, and was reluctant to let them run errands at City Hall. Therefore, they had to requisition an empty house nearby. And the basement here has also been converted into an interrogation room.
Lance walked down the hallway to the basement and pushed open the door, only to hear a burst of laughter.
Suddenly, his heart was cold.
This laughter is Mikel's fake laughter, pretending to know you very well, but in fact you don't know how many bad things are said behind your back.
What does it mean that he is still interrogating others, but he can still make this kind of laughter?
Lance felt worse and worse.
Walking into the basement, he was a little surprised by the scene in front of him. Mikel sat across from a young man, as if he were talking something, and there were two glasses of wine on the table, as if they were talking happily.
This is not the usual treatment of interrogation.
"Knight Lance, you're finally here. When Mikel saw him, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "I thought you would hide in your room and cry for an hour because of your incompetence before coming out, but I didn't expect it to appear so soon." The courage of being a knight chief is truly admirable. ”
Lance also took a deep breath and smiled: "It's still Mikel-sama who is powerful, as soon as he heard the news, he was able to climb out of the beds of the three prostitutes and rush here." Mikel's speed is what I admire the most in my life. ”
"It's over, it's still a knight who is great. ”
"The adults laughed, or you are amazing. ”
"You're amazing. ”
"No, you're amazing. ”
“......”
The atmosphere is stiff.
Just as Lance and Mikel looked at each other silently, the smile on their faces becoming more and more exaggerated, suddenly, the young man sitting in another seat seemed to finally can't bear it anymore and spoke, breaking the terrible atmosphere.
"It seems that this is the knight chief of Lance who is in charge of the case. My name is Benjamin and it's an honor to meet you. Benjamin walked over, pulled the two men apart, stood in front of Lance, and said with a smile.
