Stephen Sand's main city, law enforcement office, general interrogation room.

"Thank you for your cooperation, now I have some questions for you."

A member of the enforcement team named Thomas poured Xu Nan a cup of hot water and began to follow the process.

Although Xu Nan's identity has put a certain amount of pressure on Thomas, in this eventful season, he will not easily let go of any possible clues.

Of course, Xu Nan had no intention of disobeying the law enforcement team, so he returned to the main city of Stephen Sand with Xie Yutong very cooperatively.

"I'm also the man who went to the Stephensand Law Enforcement Facility now."

Xu Nan laughed at himself in his heart.

Stephen Sand's law enforcement office has always been considered a terrifying place comparable to the inquisition of the ancient church or the water dungeon of the evil archmage, and most of the prisoners will be treated extremely miserably when they enter, but Xu Nan has the identity of Paradise Lost as a shield, so Thomas does not dare to do anything to him easily.

In the process of entering the law enforcement station, Xu Nan unexpectedly found that there were surprisingly few people in the law enforcement office, and most of the positions in the hall were vacant, and there was almost no manpower except for the necessary guards.

In addition to Thomas, Xu Nan bumped into no more than three members of the law enforcement team along the way.

It seems that the shortage of manpower mentioned by Jiang Yuanchi is not a lie.

The recent Stephen Sand is indeed an undercurrent.

There is not so much pressure in the ordinary interrogation room, coupled with Thomas's relatively mild attitude, Xu Nan can easily respond:

"You can start asking, and I'll answer everything I think I can answer."

This is a little more clever, and Xu Nan also knows that the identity of Paradise Lost can bring benefits to himself, but it also has disadvantages: that is, what he says can easily be regarded as representing the attitude of Paradise Lost or the daily council, and he must speak carefully.

Thomas nodded, skillfully took out a thick notebook, and asked straight to the core:

"What are you showing up for in the southeast of the Second Roundabout Wisteria Garden around eight o'clock tonight?"

Xu Nan didn't think much about it, he already knew that Thomas would ask this, and on the way back, he also quietly used the Paradise Lost channel to string together a confession with Xie Yutong:

"I'm looking for one of my lost cats."

Thomas looked at Xu Nan with some surprise.

Xu Nan described the appearance, age and habits of the cat quite clearly, to the effect that he came to Stephen Sand with a pet, but because of some accidents, he was lost, and he has been looking for the cat he lost in the dock area for the past few days, and then followed the clues to the park of the second roundabout.

This statement is actually unassailable. Because Xu Nan knows that as long as Thomas has a heart, he will definitely be able to find out what he and Xie Yutong have been doing in the past few days - he can't tell the other party that he is helping Xiao Xie on the training task, right?

Thomas pondered for a moment, then asked a few more details.

Xu Nan had already prepared, and naturally answered seamlessly.

At the end, Thomas's expression seemed a little speechless.

He couldn't help but say, "If you're looking for a lost pet, then the second roundabout is really in the wrong place." ”

There was something strange about his expression.

Xu Nan's heart moved slightly, this expression was very similar to what he saw when he visited the bald Roger a few days ago.

"What he means is that it's wrong for me to want to find the cat to go to the second roundabout?"

"Why?"

"It doesn't make sense, there are a lot of stray cats there......"

Xu Nan couldn't figure out the key for a while.

However, Thomas didn't give Xu Nan a chance to talk, and he began to ask other questions.

Ten minutes later, the routine questioning came to an end.

After Xu Nan posted his Queen's ticket stub yesterday, Thomas no longer had any reason to doubt him, so he could only consider himself unlucky.

Xu Nan took the opportunity to ask Thomas about the information about the "sneak attacker in the back of the head", but unfortunately Thomas was quite cautious in this regard, even if Xu Nan was proved to be innocent, he did not have the slightest intention of revealing the secret.

This made Xu Nan somewhat disappointed.

He finally infiltrated the law enforcement station, of course, not to cooperate with the actions of the law enforcement team.

Thomas got up to leave, and he told Xu Nan to wait for fifteen minutes at most, and then he could leave.

Xu Nan guessed that he was going to interrogate Xie Yutong.

This is evident from the lack of manpower in the Enforcement Force.

Taking advantage of these fifteen minutes, Xu Nan prepared well.

It didn't take long for Thomas to re-enter and tell Xu Nan that he could leave.

Xie Yutong was charged with driving without a license, and Thomas only gave the slightest verbal warning, after all, she did not cause much damage.

Xu Nan left the interrogation room and was led to the hall by Thomas.

Xie Yutong was sitting obediently on the row of chairs in the center of the hall, and when she saw Xu Nan, she immediately stood up and waved her hand.

Thomas nodded: "I'll send you out." ”

The law enforcement station has a very complete magic array, and it is impossible for non-members of the law enforcement team to enter and exit.

Xu Nan thanked him softly.

The three of them walked down the hall to the north.

Suddenly, there was a terrible scream from beneath their feet!

It was a beastly roar that could only erupt when a creature was on the verge of the limit of fear!

"What's wrong? The soundproof circle has failed again? ”

A civilian member next to him complained.

The rest shrugged their shoulders in surprise and went their separate ways.

The screams from under the ground continued.

Xu Nan glanced at Thomas, who was obviously also accustomed to his expression.

He didn't ask, because he knew that someone else would naturally speak for him.

Sure enough, Xie Yutong cautiously looked around and said suspiciously:

"What's that sound?"

Thomas glanced at her without hesitation:

"The voice of the suspect, of course."

Xie Yutong was taken aback: "Do all the people in your law enforcement team treat suspects like this?" ”

Thomas shook his head: "Not all. ”

"Now it should be our vice-captain, only he is more keen on violent law enforcement, and the suspect falls into his hands, which is worse than death."

"There is a rumor within our law enforcement team that the deputy captain is either beating a prisoner or on his way to beat a prisoner."

Xie Yutong stuck out his tongue.

Xu Nan remembered something: "Vice captain? ”

"Could it be that Akai?"

"Looking at Thomas's attitude, it seems that he is not very convinced of Akai's methods...... Well, after all, he is considered a moderate in the law enforcement team, and it is normal to have opinions about Akai. ”

It was at this time that they reached the end of the hall and saw a rather large oil painting.

What is amazing is that the name of this oil painting is actually "The Vice-Captain Beating the Prisoner".

From the outside, this oil painting is very new, and it should have been hung up recently.

Xie Yutong saw this oil painting, her face was full of confusion, she probably felt that Thomas was quite good at talking, so she turned her head and asked:

"What does this painting mean? What's drawn on it? ”

Thomas replied:

"It's a picture of the members of the law enforcement team having a dinner, you see, the captain and most of the members are there, and by the way, there are the [Quill Hounds] who have helped us a lot in our work, they are behind the table, even in this moment of celebration, they are still doing their duty."

"Whose is the empty seat at the table?" Xie Yutong was even more strange.

Thomas: "Of course it's the vice-captain. ”

Xie Yutong was puzzled: "What about the vice captain? ”

Thomas replied without hesitation:

"The vice-captain is beating the prisoner."

Burst.

Before Xie Yutong could react, Xu Nan almost didn't laugh.

The author of this oil painting is too dark Akai, right?

Has this guy's character of beating criminals been so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

"I'm sorry. Gaffe. He looked at Thomas apologetically.

Thomas shook his head and smiled, "It's okay." ”

"In fact, our vice-captain himself is not disgusted with this oil painting, which was sent by his opponents to humiliate him on the day he returned to the law enforcement team, but he hung the oil painting here with his own hands."

"How can I say it, the deputy captain is not bad, and he can even be said to be a good person, but he is too ruthless......"

A look of sympathy and palpitations appeared on his face, probably because he had seen Akai interrogate prisoners, leaving a lot of shadows.

"It's almost there, let's go this way."

Thomas led Xu Nan and Xie Yutong out of the law enforcement office.

It was a small alley in the middle of nowhere, very secluded, and there were no people here.

Xu Nan gave Xie Yutong a look, and the latter took a few steps to the side in a playful manner. In Thomas's somewhat surprised gaze, Xu Nan suddenly handed over a metal box with great sincerity.

"Although it was an accident, it has caused a huge obstacle to your law enforcement work, and may have affected the arrest of the murderer; If the suspect continues to do wrong, that's my responsibility. ”

"This is a little souvenir that I brought from my hometown, not very valuable, but a little bit of my heart for Stephensand and Mr. Thomas."

Thomas shook his head and wanted to refuse:

"I'm sorry, we can't take ......"

Xu Nan gently opened the box, revealing a corner, and a little golden light diffracted out.

Thomas couldn't breathe for a moment.

Smack. He closed the box and put it away as a matter of course.

"Serving the citizens and tourists is what I should do."

Thomas looked at Xu Nan solemnly: "Is there anything else I can help with?" ”

Xu Nan said softly:

"Two little things, one is still my pet cat, I hope Mr. Thomas can point one or two."

"Another thing, I do have a little curiosity about the murderer you are chasing."

Thomas hesitated for a moment and replied quickly:

"It's not convenient to talk about the murderer today, I will visit the hotel where you settled in two days, and I will explain it in detail when the time comes."

"As for your pet cat, I really don't know how to find it."

"All I know is that there are absolutely no pets you want to find among the stray cats on the second roundabout."

"As for the reason, you can go to this address tomorrow and see ......"

"When the time comes, the doubts in your heart will naturally be revealed."
