On Chino's side, in order to save time, the three of them did not choose to travel by carriage by land, otherwise it would be more than half a month later when they arrived in Lulin City.

Chino, Edward, and Resakhar tried, plus a box of Golden Moon, all on the dragon of Resakhar, took off from the royal city, and rushed to Deer Forest City in the starry night.

The administrator and the captain of the security team of Deer Grove City were detained in Twilight City early, and the rest of the officials were all detained pending trial after the arrival of Chino and the others.

The order to seal the border and investigate the fugitives had been issued before the three of them left, and the day after they arrived in Deer Grove City, an urgent military situation from the border town was delivered to Edward by the herald Pegasus.

"It seems that we are still one step late, and collective action is not as fast as others alone." Edward read the MIA and handed it to Resakhar and Chino.

There are only eight words in the military emergency report - the border has been broken, and the offender is about to leave the country.

The content is very brief, but the fewer words there are, the more serious this kind of thing is.

After reading it, Lei Sahar was so angry that he slammed it the wall: "Just let Hu Shanrong run away?!" These border guards should all be dealt with by military law! ”

Edward smiled helplessly: "Forget it, the border guards are not as good as the inland elite, and the opponent is an extraordinary warrior like Hu Shanrong, so it is normal that they can't stop it." ”

"If you want to blame, blame the officials of Lulin City for concealing the report in the first place, trying to cover up this matter. If they had reported the situation a few days earlier and taken action in time, we would have been able to send more transcendents to the border and block Hu Shanrong in the middle of the road. ”

It was useless to say these words now, although Hu Shanrong had fled the country, but the three of them did not intend to sit here passively, they rode the dragon again and rushed to the border.

The dragon reached the border town, and from the heights, the streets were empty, the entire town had been sealed off, and the pass could be seen all over the blood-red and corpses.

It seems that in order to preserve the traces of the scene, the border guards did not clean it up, but protected the scene and waited for instructions from their superiors.

Not to mention, this hand is quite smart, rather than doing nothing, not trying to be meritorious, reporting the situation and waiting for instructions, which is much more effective than making one's own opinions.

The blue dragon landed in the clearing near the pass, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The civil officer hurried with the border guards, he was of a very low administrative rank, and he had never seen the three people on the back of the dragon, but anyway, they came from the dragon, and he knew that they were big people with his ass, and he was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Edward Troy." Edward jumped off the dragon's back, didn't put on a show, and stretched out his hand to the civil magistrate.

"Your Excellency the Governor?!" When the civil magistrate heard this name, he was so frightened that he couldn't stand steadily, the biggest official he had ever seen in his life was the administrator of the main city, Edward's name could be described as thunderous, he hurriedly held Edward's big hand with both hands, and the meaning of humility was overflowing.

"Pay attention to your wording, I'm not a governor right now, just a suspended ordinary person." Edward looked at the two of them and introduced, "Resahar Delin Regnom, Acting Governor of the Beacon Province. Chino van Helsing, Archon of Twilight. ”

It was already the "cold" season, and the temperature had reached single digits, but the civil affairs officer was so nervous because of the visit of the three big men that he was hot and sweaty, he hurriedly straightened his waist and saluted Resakhar and Chino successively.

The three of them did not stay too long, and went to the scene of the incident under the guidance of the civil affairs officer.

There were a lot of dead people at the pass, some border guards, some caravan members, and a few civilians, presumably unlucky people who came to see the excitement and then got angry.

Thanks to the cold weather, the body showed no signs of decomposition, and the site was well preserved, with no traces of movement, completely restoring the situation at that time.

Edward put on his gloves and began to look through the corpses one by one, and the civil magistrate bowed beside him and explained: "The owner of this caravan is surnamed Shen, a frequent visitor to our town, and he has always cooperated with border inspections, and he has never done anything illegal. ”

"Three days ago, Boss Shen came to our town from the inland and was about to leave the country from the pass, his procedures were complete, and I directly approved the customs clearance documents."

"The next morning, I was working on documents in the office, and suddenly I heard the sound of fighting in the distance, and I hurriedly brought someone over to check, and I saw the scene like this, with dead people all over the ground."

"Outside the pass is the desert, and our border defense force is insufficient, so I don't dare to send cavalry out to chase after me, so I can only quickly block the scene, issue an urgent military report, and wait for the adults to come to deal with it."

I have to say that the ability and position of officials sometimes really don't match.

Those officials in Lulin City had a vegetarian meal, and they tried their best to hide and dump the pot in order to protect their future, and then made things as tricky as they are now, which can be described as wine bags and rice bags.

And this small border civil affairs officer, although he was also flustered when he encountered a major event, he handled it very properly and logically, and the gap between officials can be seen.

Resahar nodded after listening to the report and looked approvingly at the civil officer.

A small compliment from a big man falls on a small official.

It's hard to say what will happen to this civil magistrate in the future, but there will definitely be a chance to leave this barren border town.

Edward was checking the deaths of the deceased at this time, and after the examination, he slowly stood up, squinted his eyes, and said, "All of them were killed with one palm." Some of the deceased were hit at a point where they were not critical, but their whole body muscles and veins were broken, and their seven orifices were bleeding, which was undoubtedly the internal strength of the warriors of the Far Eastern Dynasty, and it was basically determined that Hu Shanrong did it. ”

Lei Sakhar looked at the pass, his expression was a little irritable: "Hu Shanrong fled to the desert, this is like a giant dragon rising into the air, soaring wantonly, the initiative is no longer on our side. ”

At this time, the civil affairs officer suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, and hurriedly came up: "My lord, you should take a look at this thing." ”

Edward took a letter from the civil magistrate and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

The civil magistrate replied truthfully: "According to our investigation, the fugitive has attempted to leave the country disguised as a caravan, so he must have disguised himself. After I sealed off the scene, thinking that I couldn't wait here, I led people to search the whole town, including the suburbs, overnight. ”

"Late last night, I found a corpse in the cellar of a hotel, confirmed to be from Boss Shen's caravan, whose clothes were stolen, and this letter was taken from him."

The wax of the letter was very complete, and it was obvious that it had not been opened, and Edward opened it and couldn't help but nod slightly.

This is the second kidnapping letter, left by Hu Shanrong, which states how and where the ransom will be delivered!

got a new clue, and the three of them had a direction again.

Resakhar patted the civil magistrate on the shoulder vigorously, and his tone was not joking at all: "Go home and pack your bags and get ready for a promotion." ”

The civil affairs officer was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and kept bowing to Lei Sakhar: "Obey!" Yes, sir! ”

Just as the civil magistrate was overjoyed and looked forward to his glorious future, he stumbled upon a glimpse of Chino out of the corner of his eye.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but at that moment just now, he seemed to see...

Chino smiled meaningfully.
