Chapter 31: You Are Freer Than Me (2nd Update)

In the main hall, Roy and Klein sat facing each other.

Arya brought out tea for the two of them, pretending to be as casual as possible, but her ears had already been quietly pricked up.

Klein was in charge of the Christian family's case, which meant that he could learn first-hand about the case.

After the initial shock and confusion, she felt more and more that the catastrophe that had befallen Christian's house seemed very strange.

From the suicide of his father, to the break-in of the West German Army, and finally to the verdict.

Everything went so fast that it was planned.

She wanted to know the truth of the matter.

"Shepherd's ......"

Roy took a sip of tea, secretly chewing on the meaning of the word.

The Shepherds are one of the six special agencies of Sidnia, responsible for carrying out the secret missions of the temple and solving major and vicious cases in the city.

Its core members are all inheritors of the Assassin profession, and it is divided into three squads:

They are the law enforcement team responsible for negotiation, supervision, and suppression, and the members of the team are mainly "Blood Dance".

A team of Night's Watch responsible for infiltrating, investigating, and protecting, and the team is mainly composed of "Moon Shadow".

and the Inquisitor Squad, which is responsible for interrogation, assistance, and support, and the members of the team are mainly "Dead Words".

The reason why he knows so clearly is because one of his legacies is Moon Shadow.

After graduating from the Inheritor Academy, if you don't plan to join the Raiders team and be active on the front line of the Raiders World Tree, then joining the Shepherd's Night's Watch team is the best choice for Moonshadow.

The Florentine family, as the representative of the Moon Shadow seat, is in charge of the entire Night Watch team.

Klein is a direct descendant of his line, and it is only natural that he should be part of the Night's Watch.

After sorting out his thoughts, Roy asked, "Lord Crane, I want to know what happened on the night of the accident at Christian's house?" ”

"Just call me Klein."

"That night, the Sidnian Army received a report that the Christian family was smuggling, harboring, and selling slaves. ”

"When the army arrived, they found that the head of the house, Ivy Christian, had committed suicide, and that they had indeed found unregistered black market slaves in the house."

"The Christian family came from an aristocratic background, so the case was handed over to the shepherds."

Roy stared at Klein: "House Master Ivy ...... Is it indeed suicide? ”

Crane nodded.

"What about the slaves? What are their testimonies? ”

"All the testimonies show that Ivey, the head of the household, is indeed a slave trader."

Klein replied clearly.

There was a brief silence in the room, and the "click" of the wall clock was particularly harsh.

"Then Lord Crane...... What do you think? ”

"All smuggling and human trafficking are strictly prohibited in the upper city, this is the high-voltage line of Sidney, and all the known evidence points to the Christian family, which cannot be exonerated and can only be eliminated as an example."

"But don't you think it's strange? Why did Mr. Ivey commit suicide? Just because you know that your crime is exposed, you commit suicide in fear of sin? Roy frowned.

He looked at Klein, "So, this case is going to be closed?" Mr. Ivey's death is clearly strange, and if he is indeed a sinner, we may be able to continue to follow the path, for example...... Find his 'accomplices'? ”

"I understand what you're trying to say."

Klein leaned forward and looked at Roy seriously, "But we don't have proof. ”

"The aristocracy valued fame and integrity above anyone else. If there is not enough evidence, you have no right to search the property of nobles and invade their privacy, not even if you are a shepherd, this is an iron law written in the Sidneyan Codex. ”

"And the case is really going to be closed. Ivy committed suicide in fear of sin, and the Knights Templar were disgraced by the Knights, who instructed me to put the matter down as soon as possible. ”

"It's inconvenient for you to continue investigating?" Roy keenly grasped his off-string sounds.

"You want to be a messenger of justice?" Klein's eyes narrowed.

"You're laughing, I'm just curious."

Roy leaned back in his chair relaxed and spread his hands, "You see, after all, my family took in Arya, and it can be regarded as related to the Christian family, so it is reasonable to want to know the inside story of this case, right?" ”

Crane didn't say much, he took a note from the inside pocket of his trench coat, wrote down a list of addresses, and pushed it to Roy.

"This is the address of the parties in this case, if you are curious, you might as well find the truth yourself.

"I'm also in charge of this case, and if you can find useful clues, it's a good thing for me."

Roy took the note: "Thank you." ”

"Little things, Qin Liu, please ask me to take care of you more."

Crane waved his hand and stood up, "Honestly, I'm quite surprised to see who she values so much for the first time. ”

"Qin Liu...... What else did she say? ”

"She told you to let it go. You're my downline now, and I'll protect you in the dark if you're in danger. ”

Klein put on his top hat, picked up his cane, and walked towards the door, "But I can't delay this case for long, if you want to continue the investigation, it is only more than half a month now, and it cannot exceed the end of this month at the latest." ”

Roy sent him to the door: "I understand. ”

"Good luck."

Crane gave him a deep look and turned to leave.

Roy watched him disappear around the corner, arms folded, right hand against chin, deep in thought.

Klein's behavior was unusual.

If he wants to get the case clean, why not investigate it himself? With the power of the Florentine family, this should not be difficult for him.

And if Klein wanted to keep this case down, he shouldn't even be here, and even if he did, he could be completely perfunctory, and he shouldn't have said so much.

Perhaps, he has some reason for not being sincere.

Roy looked at the note and silently memorized the list of addresses.

At first, he didn't plan to get involved in the case, because he knew that he had a few pounds and a few taels, and the Arnold family was not big enough to play with those big forces.

But since he won this opportunity from Qin Liu, with the endorsement of the Qin family, he will make good use of this opportunity.

Qin Liu is unsightly, talking to himself, and has serious violent tendencies, but this kind of person disdains lying and pretending.

She said she wanted to help, then she would really help.

Roy turned around, and in the main hall, Arya was cleaning up the tea set.

She should be the most concerned about the truth of the case of all people, but she is also the one who pretends to be the most casual on the surface.

Arya had already awakened the inheritance, but she had awakened too late, and now she needed to redouble her efforts to cultivate, and she couldn't waste her time here.

He was going to investigate the case alone.

"Arya."

"I'm here!" She immediately trotted over, still holding a rag in her hand.

"Young Master, what are your orders?"

"I have a dinner party in the evening, so I don't have to prepare dinner for me, and that's every Monday from now on."

"Understood, young master."

In the evening, it was the day of the Qin family's dinner, and he was going there to do something.

Rub a meal by the way.

After all, there is only truth and food in the world.

……

Around the corner of the alley, Klein stopped.

"Meow~"

A black cat greeted him, barking and raising its tail and rubbing back and forth against his trouser tube.

He couldn't help but smile and took out a few small biscuits from his pocket and put them on the ground.

At this time, a flower cat came running from the opposite side, holding a fish bone in its mouth, and the black cat glanced at it and immediately ran away with it.

Crane looked in the direction of the black cat's departure and shrugged helplessly.

"Well, even you're freer than me."
