Chapter 596: Bending into a Move
Don't look at the reason given by the other party is very reasonable, this person seems to be quite honest, but Rocky doesn't believe it at all!
First, this is an extraordinary time, everyone is staring at the magic runes he has mastered, in this case, Rocky can't take it lightly, not to mention that this person's purpose is to steal the runes, even if he really accidentally touches the trap set by Orton, Rocky will have to interrogate him strictly.
Second, can the magic trap set by Orton be touched by mistake? Orton is a master in the field of magic energy, and his understanding of magic has reached a nuanced level, and it is impossible for the magic trap set by him to be accidentally touched, so this alone is enough to arrest the person in front of him!
And after receiving Rocky's order, Monte naturally grabbed this person's collar without saying a word, and then directly lifted it up as Orton untied the magic, and then personally escorted him to the prison in Thunderhawk City.
After Monte left with the people, Rocky turned his head to look at Orton and the others, and did not speak to anyone, but Orton nodded at him, and Rocky finally breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that the magic runes and the technology they had researched had not been stolen.
It was only then that Rocky had time to feel a little scared, because if everything they had was really stolen, it would be completely over, but fortunately, fortunately, he had the foresight to greet Orton and the others, and Orton and the others had already taken precautions, so that it did not lead to a worse situation.
But even so, it was a wake-up call for Rocky and made his situation even worse.
Before that, he only faced external troubles, no matter what the enemy, no matter what the enemy's purpose was against him, these threats came from the outside after all, but now it is different, this time it is a sign, it means that someone has already penetrated into his interior!
Of course, this kind of situation is also very understandable, because before this, although Rocky mastered the magic runes, but always secretly engaged in research, at first only Orton was engaged in it, and then even if there were more Anier and others, there was no fanfare, but since the expansion of the research team, the situation has changed, with the expansion of the research team, the number of people involved in the study of magic runes has suddenly increased tenfold, which naturally greatly increases the risk of exposure.
In fact, a rude estimate of the time shows that the timing of Rocky's bad start coincides with the expansion of his R&D team, which is telling.
This also forced Rocky to solve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise the external pressure he was facing was already very great, and if there was another internal fire, it would really be impossible to live.
So after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately ordered Monte, ordering him not to delay for a minute and start the interrogation immediately, no matter what method was used, he must ask the truth out, and at the same time, he also ordered Lin Feng to lead the team to start a large-scale investigation to investigate the matter to the bottom of the matter.
In this case, the next day, Lin Feng presented a document to Rocky.
According to this information, the middle-aged man who was arrested last night was named Xini, who lived in Thunder Eagle City two years ago, was an ordinary resident in the city, single, and became a servant of the institute half a year ago, and did not make any mistakes in the process, nor did anything happen until he was arrested.
There is no doubt that under the urging of Rocky, Lin Feng's work efficiency is very fast, and he has checked out the basic information of the other party in one night, and these investigations have obviously increased the suspicion of Xini, first of all, he is not a native of Thunder Eagle City, and he is not a villager of Beishan Village, or even those newcomers who came from whitewashing, this guy moved to Thunder Eagle City two years ago, and this alone greatly increases the degree of suspicion.
"Keep looking. ”
"Go to his house and search in detail. ”
"Go to his neighbor and ask for details. ”
After reading this basic information, Rocky directly issued an order, asking Lin Feng to continue the investigation and dig three feet into the ground to find clues.
And when Lin Feng left, Rocky went to the prison in Thunder Eagle City.
For a place like a prison, he really didn't come very often, so don't look at him as the city lord, but he was still quite unfamiliar with the prison in Thunder Eagle City, so when he led people into the dark and damp dungeon, he immediately frowned because of the strange smell here.
Soon, he was taken to a cell, and as soon as he walked in, he saw that Sini was hanging naked from the wall, his hands locked by cold chains, just a little higher than his height from the ground, and even Sini could touch the ground with his toes, but he couldn't step on the ground.
Looking at him again, I can see that his body has already been peeled open, and the shocking whip marks have almost formed a big net on his body, which looks miserable.
Turning his head to look, Rocky saw Monte also naked, and he hurriedly stood up when he saw his arrival, while the table behind him was full of all kinds of torture instruments, some of which had fresh blood on them, apparently just used.
It can be seen that both from Signey's current state and from Monte's dark circles, it shows that neither of them was idle that night, and Monte was indeed interrogating overnight according to Rocky's orders, and he was ruthlessly tortured.
"How?"
Glancing at Signi hanging on the wall, Rocky turned to look at Monte.
"My lord, this guy has a very hard mouth, so he just doesn't say it. ”
Shaking his head, Monte said helplessly, although he had tortured Cini all night since last night, this guy didn't say anything, and insisted that he was wronged, so much so that even Monte believed it a little.
It can be seen from the wounds all over Cini's body that Monte showed no mercy in the torture, and even used various means to make him speak quickly, these methods were so cruel that even Rocky didn't want to inquire in detail, but Sini always insisted that he was wronged, so even Monte was a little skeptical that they really caught the wrong person.
You know, Rocky's ultimate goal is not to torture Cini, but to know the truth, to know who is behind the scenes, so if they are really mistaken, wouldn't it be a waste of work?
Of course, this was Monte's idea, but Lodge's idea was clearly different.
He turned to Sini after hearing Monte's words, and then walked up to him.
At this time, Signey had already been beaten unconscious, and looking at the unconscious Signey, Rocky seemed to be talking to himself, as if talking to Monte, and said: "If it were someone else, it should have been beaten into a trick, right?"
Hearing this, Monte was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of sudden realization!
