Chapter 67: Cooperation
Although Jack's fight with [Creeper] was entirely out of self-defense, in order to avoid trouble, when leaving, he and Tifa had already cleaned up the traces of the battle, and after [Star's] multiple analyses, he was sure that he had completely cleaned up the blood, hair, and other traces related to them.

But the police still came to the door.
What an intriguing thing this is. Although Jack left the banquet for him halfway, there were only two possibilities for how much brains it would take to connect this incident with the battle in Billy Square, one was that the police met the attendant who was delivering the news for Jack, and the other was that the police were instructed by someone. Whatever the possibility, Jack has reason to suspect that the City Guard Reconnaissance Team may have something to do with the demon.
What does the demon want to achieve with these cops?
Legalize him imprisoning? Legalize surveillance?
So why don't they continue to send killers to kill him, or just let these cops make a reasonable death?
Jack couldn't figure it out, but he knew very well that he couldn't heed that direct arrest warrant and go to their police station with this Ramadi no matter what.
Luckily, this Ramadi looks like an idiot, and Peter Kun on the side, although smart, is not as smart as Jack.
So, Jack pulled out a transparent crystal ball from behind him and smiled confidently.
"Guess what, Mr. Lappa, is this?"
"What's that?" Ramadi frowned, his small eyes narrowing warily.
"Recording orbs. β
"What did you say?" Ramadi yelled, full of surprise and exasperation, and a lot of sweat beads of panic were squeezed out of his face.
"I said~ This is a recording orb!" Jack raised his eyebrows disdainfully and sarcastically, "Do you have bad ears?" you should have heard of this thing, it is a magic item that can record your voice. β
"I don't believe it, how can you afford such a rare item, you can't have this thing!" Ramadi stood up sharply, gasping as he spoke, looking very fortunate.
But Jack naturally had no mercy, and what Mr. Jack liked to do most was to pretend to be forced to slap those who thought they were righteous in the face.
"Huh!" Jack sneered coldly and gently tossed the crystal ball in his hand, he saw his movements catch the eyes of the other two.
"Mr. Lababa, you are really naΓ―ve, of course I have ...... recording the magic ball" is strange.
Jack gently rubbed the crystal ball in his hand, and then the crystal ball flashed green fluorescent, "Why don't you listen to it yourself, did it record our voice?"
"That's okay...... Now he's on a direct arrest warrant!"
"You can be my assault on the police, you have the right to directly arrest the attacker, oh, and the right to kill~"
"Yes, that's it, that's right, you guy actually dared to attack the police, you were arrested!!"
"Of course, I hate you, so you're going to die......"
When the "recording" was over, Jack threw the crystal ball in his hand again and said with a smile, "What's the matter, isn't your voice stupid? If you have to arrest me, I have to hand over this recording to the major newspapers, so that the whole people of Ash City can understand your domineering, ignorance, and disdain for the aristocracy?
Ramadi's face turned white, and beads of sweat continued to drip down.
Seeing Ramadi's expression of almost stopping breathing, Peter also put away his smile and pursed his lips, looking at Jack with a drooping eyebrow, he didn't want the reconnaissance task force he worked on to become a laughing stock in Ash City.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Jack raised an eyebrow triumphantly. Thanks to the glowing crystal ball from the magic toy store, he took on the responsibility of attracting attention and helped him complete such a successful little magic trick.
In fact, this crystal ball has no recording function at all, and it has been Jack who has been performing ventriloquism by relying on [Arcane Trick (Zero Ring)], however, the two people who have been focusing on the crystal ball have not noticed this at all.
Of course, thanks to the cooperation of these two fools!Jack complained in his heart, and with a flip of his wrist, he put the crystal ball into the space ring.
"Now, what are you going to do? will you leave my house, or will you leave my house?"
"No!" Mr. Ramadi reflexively yelled, though his face was pale.
"No?" Jack tilted his head.
"No...... You have to know, we have a watch, we can't go, it's ......," Ramadi's voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally turned into a muttered one.
"Can you show me your warrant?" Jack interrupted Ramadi's unintelligible efforts.
"Now, in this ......," Peter hurriedly took the piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Jack.
Jack flipped the paper over and over several times, and he didn't speak, but smiled meaningfully, glancing at the two nervous men from time to time out of the corner of his eye.
Eventually, Peter couldn't take it anymore and patted Jack on the shoulder, "Borrow a step to speak." β
Jack nodded, and followed Peter to the hallway outside the door.
Leaving Ramadi's sight, Peter first relaxed and exhaled, "It's really tiring to act......
"Do you mean your fake panicked face?" Jack smiled.
"I'm acting on a panicked and scared look!" Peter said, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, just do what you say, so, why are you going to help me?"
"Because, it's weird...... And, as you may have noticed, our team leader's head is not very bright. He's a stupid guy, but he's definitely a good task force leader. β
"It's true that he can easily be a good cop without pretending to be stupid, but is this reason worth using your favorite [Borrow a Step to Speak] Dafa?"
"What do you think?" ......said Peter, stretching his shoulders, "Actually, I have admired detectives the most since I was a child, so I especially admire a smart man like you. β
"Not convincing enough!" Jack nodded reluctantly.
"Anyway, we are also comrades-in-arms who almost died together, this is to repay the favor you saved me before. Peter smiled wryly, "I'm no longer young, but sometimes I want to do something right. β
"I can't guarantee that this is correct. β
"But I know the team leader, they must be wrong. β
"What did you find?" Jack narrowed his eyes curiously.
"I hear you......" Peter was about to speak, but Jack understood what he meant.
"But!" Peter then smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "I really didn't expect you to have something as rare as a recording orb, I believe that even if I don't help, you can get through it safely!"
"Do you believe it's a recording orb? To your poor childhood, I don't think your mother bought you a toy. β
"Oh, you mean...... You're saying that's !!"
"Whisper, hey, Peter, do you remember the definition of a warrant?"
"Ah...... Probably ......," Peter deliberately kept his voice down, "the purpose of the warrant used against a major suspect is to restrict the surveillance of the suspect until the case is solved, and to prevent the suspect from escaping......"
"In addition, although facing surveillance, the suspect still has the freedom and privacy of a citizen, and has the right to leave the officer's sight when sleeping, going to the toilet, bathing and other activities. Jack rightly added.
"Hey, is that so?"
"As long as you are smarter, that's like this~" Jack showed his big white teeth and smiled heartily, "I'll know how to cooperate in a while, good comrade-in-arms!"
"Ah, finally~" Jack shoved the paper back into Peter's arms and said, "I think you'd better not let Mr. see it, and I'll let Luke light the fireplace for you in this cold spring in a while, I think you should be able to be careless enough~"
"Hey, of course~" Looking at Jack's smile, Peter also laughed excitedly.
"Peter, I don't know whether to say it or not...... It's kind of disgusting. β
"What did you say?"
"I said you laughed like a villain, it's kind of disgusting!"
"Damn it!"
