Jerry is a junior officer at the Pelos Police Station.

He has just joined the company and is still inexperienced, so he is now only responsible for escorting prisoners. It must be said that the work has almost no technical content. All he had to do was drive the wagon and escort the prisoners from the Pelos police station to the jail on the outskirts of the city, and that's it. I finally got into the police station job that other people dream of, but I was just a groom who didn't know when I would be able to get out, and I knew that it was better to pull the cart directly for those noble lords, at least the salary was more than a few steps higher than now.

That night, he waved his whip as usual. But today's task is a little different than it was in the past.

Jerry looked at the majestic figure on horseback not far in front of him.

Inspector Martin.

Tall figure, Pelos's latest riding boots, with a thoroughbred horse that only the inspector can ride, not to mention how stylish it is. Although, the horse was castrated to make it more docile and peaceful.

Originally, there were four detectives in the police station, each of whom had jurisdiction over the four districts of Pelos City. Recently, the young master of the City Lord's Mansion has invited a new detective from outside to be responsible for handling difficult and miscellaneous cases. And his super high standard has also been recognized by the department, and the prisoner to be escorted today is from the case he solved.

To be a detective at the Pyros Police Station, you can't do it without two brushes.

Speaking of which, a good colleague warned Jerry at lunch that someone might jump out and rob the prisoner halfway through the night. At that time, he laughed and scolded a few times, but he didn't take it seriously. But now he apparently doesn't think so. There are really not many prisoners who can bother Inspector Martin to escort him personally.

After hearing that the prisoner in the carriage had been escorted to the prison, she was further tortured. So there must be no mistakes along the way. In order not to attract attention, the officers of the department decided to embark on this dangerous escort tour tonight.

The autumn breeze is sluggish, and the night is even worse.

Jerry yawned and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

Ahead, the magic crystal street lamp on the next street corner flickered and stopped lighting for a while, and since then it has lost its value.

Inspector Martin frowned. The magic crystal lamp has a long lifespan, probably a few decades. The odds of running out of energy tonight were obvious, and he preferred to believe that it was man-made. Because on the way to the prison, a dark area was created.

"Back off. Replace the line. The inspector immediately made a decision and shouted to the crowd.

Jerry had been a groom for so long, and he had never seen a precedent for rerouting a prisoner. Although there are doubts, but since the inspector has spoken, he will do it.

The horse's head turns.

At this moment, Leng Buding had a sharp voice crossing. The two horses pulling the cart staggered with their eight legs, and at the same time fell to the left, and fell to the ground with a bang. The carriage broke down in an instant on the deserted street.

Gunshots?

The two teams of police officers in front and behind immediately fell into a panic. The guy who tried to rob the prisoner appeared as expected.

Jerry's mind in the carriage went blank, and the two horses closest to him made him feel more deeply than the others. Even the police officers who were sitting on the left and right of the prisoners in the carriage poked their heads out and looked out.

It's tricky beyond imagination, Inspector Martin sighed as he tightened the reins. Twenty police officers plus him, the detective, are enough to withstand any situation. But this time he seems to have miscalculated.

Both horses fell at the same time, but only one shot rang out. That is, the other side fired only one shot. This ability to kill two birds with one stone is that Inspector Martin thinks he can't do it. Moreover, the firearm used by the other party seems to be very special, making the sound of fire seem to come from a long distance. Presumably something was added to the muzzle of the barrel. As a result, it is impossible to judge the specific location of the enemy based on the fundamental position of the bullet sound, and can only give a direction with a wide range. And this is undoubtedly fatal for the escort work.

The darkness of the enemy will only turn the battle into a one-sided slaughter.

"Stay quiet!"

Regardless, Inspector Martin tried to hold the officers steady.

Bang——!

The second bullet.

At that moment, Jerry only saw Inspector Martin's head burst out of a line of blood, and then he was knocked off the horse from the side by a force of impact.

The frightened horses fled down the street.

After a brief silence, the officers with numb scalps were completely crushed. But before they could run, another burst of gunfire rang out. The squad of police officers in front of the carriage suddenly toppled from front to back.

It's like the wind blowing wheat waves.

After Erik treated Anthrite's wound briefly, he fed her a few drops of "Rejuvenation". Although the recovery effect is remarkable, Anthracene still does not wake up. He judged that he should have exhausted his strength, so he could only carry Anthrite out of the firearms laboratory.

In the Gunsmoke Tavern, most of the customers who were alive and kicking around earlier have left, and the rest have fallen on the tables and benches in strange and indecent sleeping positions. Calculated that the time was approaching dawn, it was no wonder that they were in such an embarrassment. Even Dani at the bar is nowhere to be found, probably somewhere to sleep. Eric didn't disturb the drunken people and quietly went out.

Waiting outside the gates of the castle was Marella. Yes, she had been waiting for her young lady to return. Eric didn't know how long she had been waiting here.

"Yes, Miss lost... You can get to a tie with me... After all, it's a gun god. The head maid of the Pelos family muttered to herself, her face unable to hide the loss. Without further ado, she took her young lady and hugged her to her chest, thanked Eric, and walked to the depths of the castle lord's castle.

A draw with Marella with the six-pointed star?

Eric looked a little dazed. I still remember that when I was in the Holy Capital, Jusis said that in five years, Antice would surpass him in strength. But it's only been a few months, and Anthra has already been able to draw with Marella, judging from the fact that Marella and Jusis always act in unison, the difference in their strength should not be huge. Anthracene is progressing too fast. And the spear god who defeated Anthratis can still win when his subordinates are merciful, so it should be good to judge that the spear god is better than Marella Yusis.

In this way, the six-pointed star also has a powerful class.

By this time, the eastern sky was already white, and a new day's work was about to begin. Eric, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, could only put away the wonderful idea of going home and sleeping, and walked directly to the Pelos police station.

And when Eric walked into the gate of the police station, it was already a mess, and the officers were in and out of a panic, which was not the usual atmosphere at all.

Confused, Eric hurriedly stopped a panicked police officer and asked.

"Inspector Eric! Last night, the mastermind of the Pelos Hospital case, along with the entire escort team, was killed. ”
