After a day of travel, the train finally arrived at Oude. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Judging from the magnificence alone, Oude Station is far from being comparable to Conced. The crystal smooth ground on the platform, and the street lamps with metallic luster and strange shapes, all highlight the value of this building. Magician Ryan, the inventor of the magic train, once said during a visit to Ode Station: "If you have the money to build this damn station, you might as well run another train." ”

The station manager believes that since the ticket is expensive, it should be used to give the passengers the spiritual enjoyment they deserve, and they must be given a sense of superiority over others.

And the effect of this is significant. The passengers who stepped out of the train and stepped onto the platform saw the wonderful pattern around them, forgot the unhappiness caused by the delay of the train, and put on their smiling faces. Of course, there was also a passenger named Pat who was handcuffed and expressionless. Inspector Edith next to him didn't say a word, and punched the suspect who was caught: "Teach you to run!"

Half of Pat's face became swollen. He glanced at the invincible Inspector with his eyes and turned his head in a different direction.

"What kind of eyes are you!" Edith saw the prisoner's disdain for him, and immediately felt the urge to punch him again. Eric then interjected, interrupting the Detective's further movements, "Sir. It would be better to hand over the suspect to the Santo Police Department as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, the inspector turned to fold his arms over his chest, raised his head and shouted, "That's what I said." I've seen a lot of arrogant bastards like this. When I entered the police station and faced interrogation, few of them could hold on. ”

Eric then ordered several officers to take Pat away. Warmly accompanied by several police officers, Pat walked and looked back at Eric, who had arrested him.

Eric nodded at him. They stood on the platform of the Holy Capital and looked at each other.

Let's go back in time to after Eric captured Pat.

To be on the safe side, Eric intends to remain in a clamped position until the train arrives. Mr. Pat, who was extremely unwell, couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Detective, I think we should talk." ”

Eric didn't dare to let go of his arm to suppress Pat, and he suspected that Pat was trying to distract him with words in order to escape: "You can't fool me, Mr. Pat. You must be a fugitive from the most heinous crimes. ”

Pat shook his head with difficulty, "Fugitive? I think you probably have some misunderstanding. Sometimes, killing doesn't mean committing a crime. ”

That's a good point.

Eric continued: "Let's not talk about whether or not murder is a crime. First of all, I want to know at least who you are. ”

"What a cunning fellow. Well, I can reveal a little bit of information about my identity to you, provided you keep it a secret for me. Pat pouted.

"You know, you're not qualified to negotiate conditions right now. As a detective who is obsessed with the truth, I will naturally try to solve the case for you in the future investigation. Eric made a promise.

But that will be after he succeeds in bringing down his boss, Eric thought.

Pat's voice suddenly increased, "Listen, smart Mr. Detective, if you want to stay away from your boss, do me a favor." ”

"What do you mean?" said Eric, surprised.

"As long as you are willing to help me, you can get back what belongs to you more smoothly. For example, the credit for the O-German tragedy. ”

It seems that Mr. Pat knows something.

Pat still didn't stop, and there seemed to be a mockery in his tone: "I understood when I saw you reasoning with the great detective. It's not easy to think about being stolen by your boss. ”

Eric was poked in the sore spot, and his hand got harder.

"No, you bastard!" Pat scolded in pain, "I have a compartment sewn on the inside of my jacket, and you can find items in it that identify me." ”

"Don't play tricks. Eric made Pat roll over and unceremoniously reach into his shirt with both hands. Then, his fingers touched a hard object.

Eric ripped the cloth off and had a small object in his hand. He took it outside and examined it.

A coat of arms.

The base color is navy blue. The bottom is adorned with thorn flowers. In the center, a white-feathered seagull with wings spread seems to soar out of this small badge.

The Pelos family.

Eric's eyes sparkled. The famous Pelos family, I believe that there are few people who do not know their names.

This family is not old, but it is now in full swing. Because their hometown is called Pelos, the most prosperous and wealthy city in all of Odin.

You know, the capital city of Ode looks colorless in front of the city of Pyros. As the lord of the city, Duke Pelos has complete autonomy over the city of Pelos, and there are many powers that worry the royal family. The territory has independent legislative, executive, and judicial powers, and even has its own army.

A complete country within a state.

Many of the high-ranking adults in the Holy Capital called Pelos a scar on the old system. Due to the unbridled decentralization of power by the older kings, family domains like Pelos once spread like stars. But after a long period of baptism, their rights were gradually eroded and withdrawn by the awakened royal family.

Only Pelos stands.

Queen Elizabeth on the throne has no interference in the affairs of Pelos, big or small, and now Pelos is only nominally loyal to the royal family.

It's just that Eric never expected that Pat was indeed a nobleman. This new identity will undoubtedly be even more detrimental to Eric's reversal of the case.

He said, "You didn't say you were a nobleman, and you were a member of the famous Pyros family. ”

Mr. Pat responded, "Yes, I didn't say I was loyal to Duke Pelos. But I had to disguise my identity for some reason. I just want to tell you that if you help me, I have the ability to fulfill your wishes. ”

Eric continued to be on guard. But he admits that he was moved.

Pat continued to throw the bait: "In addition to regaining your rightful fame and honor, the family can arrange for you to work at the Pelos Police Station if you want, and make you a member of the Pelos residents." In short, as long as it is not excessive, I will meet your requirements to the greatest extent. ”

Unlike the Conced, the Pellows Police Station is not under the jurisdiction of the Crown. It is only affiliated with the city of Pylos. Being able to live in Pelos is something that most Odin people dream of.

Eric is still thinking about it.

"Do you want to go on like this for the rest of your life?!" Mr. Pat continued to fan the wind.

"Shut up, why should I believe you!"

"In order to gain your trust, I am willing to swear as a nobleman. "Mr. Pat is sincere.

Eric became more and more agitated, he didn't know if Mr. Pat's identity was true. If so, can Pat represent the Pelos family, and even if he can, then how can he be guaranteed to keep his promise after helping him? If false...... Wait, none of that seems to matter.

According to the original plan, Eric planned to expose his boss's crimes during the debriefing at the Ode police station. But after experiencing this train homicide, he felt that his original full certainty had been crumbling.

Although Eric has sufficient evidence to prove that he is the one who solves the case, he also has the confidence to refute his boss in the confrontation. But God knows, the boss has colluded with many powerful people behind his back. If you rashly attack your boss, I'm afraid that in the end, you won't even want to have any bones left.

If Eric is going to swallow his anger for the rest of his life, he can't do it!

At this moment, Mr. Pat, who claims to be from the Pelos tribe, has become Eric's only hope for his boss to be defeated. If you want to get it, you have to make some bets.

Eric made a decision in his heart and said, "Say, what do you want me to help you?" ”

"I need you to leave for Pelos now. Pat said.
