Chapter 22 The world is unpredictable
With the fluttering of their wings, a few pigeons resting on the eaves flew up, and they circled over the market, chasing and playing with each other. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ecco looked at the free-spirited creatures and guessed that their carrier pigeons should have flown across the Prancing Horse, but it was still a long way from Elada. He was a little envious of the pigeon, which, no matter how difficult the journey, was at least getting closer to home, and he did not yet know when he would be able to make his way home.
Ekor sighed, he put away his longing for his hometown, took a moment of direction, and walked towards a house with roses and butterflies painted on the door.
Along the way, he sorted out what had happened in the past few days. According to Alex, the unsolved case in Dsting has ended with the death of the mage, and there will be no more white sparrows to be victimized, but their passage over Alex's rescue of Akaki has made the situation more difficult to figure out, and he has to continue to stay in this city full of suspicion of elves.
Ekor didn't understand why Akach wanted to take the Governor's life, he didn't even know exactly what kind of person Laurid was, and at the moment, he didn't have access to the Homonym's intelligence network in d'Estaing.
After much thought, Eko came to the door of Rose's house again. He stood on the steps and knocked on the door, and in a few moments Rose opened the door and greeted her.
Today, she wore a long, wide-sleeved dress with a royal blue cape, her blonde hair tucked back neatly, and her ears wore jade earrings that were not dazzling but were actually very valuable. Eko felt that she was less heart-pounding than the first time they met, but more intoxicating elegance.
"See you again. Ekor smiled helplessly.
"Come in and tell me something. ”
Rose spared no unnecessary politeness, and she leaned slightly sideways to make way for Ekko.
Eko nodded, and he sat down where he had sat for the first time with Rose, leaving the money on the coffee table. Rose, who was also sitting back in place, leaned back into her chair with some amusement when she saw the sudden extra bag of things on the coffee table.
"What are you going to ask this time?"
"I wanted to know a little bit about Lauride as a person, especially about his disgraceful things. ”
"Why, you white sparrows want to remove His Excellency the Governor from power?"
Rose reached out and pushed the purse back in Ekko's direction.
"Then you better save some money to take care of the others, and then there will be a horrible expense. ”
Ekor smiled bitterly.
"I'm afraid that the person who wants his life may not be willing to give me enough time. ”
"Somebody wants Laureate's life, why are you telling me this?"
Rose stood up suddenly, her eyes wide open, and her eyes showed a look like that of a frightened fawn.
"It's Akachi!, right?"
Ekor rubbed her forehead in silence.
"How did you meet him? How is he now?"
"A few days ago, we rescued him from a group of assassins. For now, it seems that he has been listed as a defector by the Quenching Dagger. ”
Ekor looked at Rose's figure pacing back and forth and continued, "He's going to recuperate for a while. I persuaded him to go to Elada, but he demanded Laurid's life. I don't think he's joking. ”
"Laureate was a political opportunist, and his greatest moment was when he squeezed out all his opponents through a case of great evil, and then took the position of Governor in one fell swoop!" Rose said abruptly.
Ekor felt his heart skip a beat with the words, and he remembered that Egger had mentioned that there was a problem in the case of the great evil when he was treating Akachi, and it turned out that this case was related to Laureate.
I saw Rose walk to the desk and pull out a piece of stationery.
"This matter Lauride will definitely not hide and can't hide it, if you want to know this person, it should be a lot easier to start from this end, and it will definitely be able to pull out a lot of things. Oh my God, why did he want to kill Laureate? There were so many people who wanted the governor's position, and he was sacrificing himself!"
Rose bit her thumb and pondered for a moment before picking up her pen and writing quickly on the letterhead, and in a few short minutes she handed the sealed letter to Ekko.
"Find the guy from last time, he should allow you to look at some information, and hopefully it will help you convince Akaqi to choose another way out. Go as fast as you can, and once Akachi decides something, he'll do it quickly!"
With the letter in hand, Eko hurried to the Sheriff's Office. In fact, he had planned to go there to meet a man - Misha Vites.
The thought of this girl makes Ekor feel a little guilty, he knows that Misha has a crush on him, but he takes advantage of the girl's innocence and amazing memory ability to make her go behind Alex's back to investigate a name, Krully, which he has obtained after interrogating Alex in private. Eko knew that the interrogation methods she had learned from the Nexus were hurtful, and she was afraid that only the elf of Akachi, a headache, would be willing to deal with it.
Ekor remembers what Alex told him at the time.
"How many more times do you want me to say it? It's a guy named Kruley! Well, he's paid us to investigate the mage from Campes! he's got such a big sum of money, and we need money, who knows it has something to do with the internal affairs of the Demon Dagger?"
And how did he respond to Alex then?
"I'm just checking to see if you're hiding anything from everyone, and I'll tell you again what the identity of this guy named Kruli is?"
A few days ago, Misha had snuck into a government office area where civilians should not have set foot and memorized all the files she had looked through. Based on the clues she had given, Ekor determined that Krulley was indeed one of the leaders of the Quenching Dagger.
This time, hearing that Eko wanted to find out Lauride's background, the girl confidently took away an investigation assignment, which of course had to be hidden from Alex.
To be honest, Eko didn't have any hope for the outcome of this time, after all, a sitting governor's file could not be placed as randomly as a normal file, so he also specifically instructed Misha not to force it.
Just as Ekko's feet stepped onto the small plaza in front of the sheriff's office, a sound of argument came to his ears, and it sounded like Misha was in trouble. Echo hurried in the direction of the sound, and saw two guards carrying Misha towards the wooden flail placed on the side of the square, and the torture instruments that were meant to be punitive and public were usually used to entertain thieves.
"I'm just on the wrong track! let go of me!" Misha argued as she struggled.
"Say whatever you want, little thief! You will stand there and shout to see if the people will believe your nonsense, or will they be more willing to teach you a lesson. ”
