Rogge and Catherine entered the room and saw that the masked kidnapper had fallen to the ground in pain, one of his legs and one arm had been dislocated, and he was lying on the ground in a strange position, the hood of his cloak had been ripped off, and only strips of masked cloth were left on his face.

Rogge squatted down in front of him and tore off the strip of cloth from his face, glanced at his face, turned back to Catherine and smiled: "We guessed right, sure enough, in this case, Schiller is just a scapegoat to divert attention." ”

He looked down at the strange man's pained expression in front of him and said, "Hey, Mr. kidnapper, what do you call you?"

"Jacob......" the man replied grinning.

"Well, Jacob, now tell me, where is old Klose?" said Rogge, reaching out and raising his dislocated arm.

"It's nearby, go out and go right to the house at the intersection, the landlord of that house doesn't live here, I rented the house from him, Klose is in the basement of that house. Jacob replied, gasping in pain.

"Very well, as a reward for being honest with you, I'm here to help you relieve your pain. Rog pushed his dislocated hand so hard that the arm returned to its original position, and the man let out a scream and wailed and retracted his hand.

"Okay, now comes the second question. Rogge walked up to his dislocated leg and looked at him and asked, "Does Klose know why you kidnapped him?"

"I don't know, like you just said, I didn't dare to ask him directly, so I didn't tell him at all, in fact I didn't talk to him at all, because I was afraid that he would hear me. Jacob wiped the cold sweat from his head and panted.

"I guess that's the case. Rog moved his dislocated leg back into place, and with a wail, Jacob lay on his back on his back with a wail, and Rogge reached out to pick up the purse he had left on the ground, and opened it to see a bright ruby necklace mixed with a pile of coins.

"How much did you pay for this necklace from the thief?" asked Rogge, taking the necklace out of his bag and scrutinizing it.

"One hundred and fifty gold coins. Jacob lay on the ground exhausted and looked up at the necklace in Rog's hand, and there was a kind of reluctance in his eyes, and Catherine saw that he was looking differently, and stepped forward and stepped on his shoulder with her foot to prevent him from making any attack.

"In my opinion, this thing could add at least fifty more gold coins. Rogge smiled meaningfully at Jacob.

"You're right," Jacob replied cautiously, glancing cautiously at the snow-white boots Catherine had placed on his shoulder, "but the thieves were in a hurry to make a move, and besides, they weren't so knowledgeable, so they agreed to the price." ”

"Alright," Rog put the necklace in the tobacco bag around his waist, put the money bag back in the drawer of his desk, and then stepped forward to drag Jacob up from the ground and said, "Take us to Klose, remember not to play tricks, if you are not honest, I will let the little villain take your leg off." ”

Jacob didn't dare to say more, and followed Rogge with his head down, and Catherine followed him with a silver hammer in her hand to monitor his every move, and the group left Klose's house and entered the street, which was already dark, and the pedestrians had gone home, and the street was empty.

The two escorted Jacob to the house he had spoken, and Jacob stepped forward and opened the lock with the key and led them into the room, and when they reached the basement door behind the stairs, they faintly heard Klose's hoarse grunt from below.

"Looks like we've found a place. Rogge turned back to Catherine and said, raising his hand to the wall and saying to Jacob, "Now put your face on the wall, and you are not allowed to turn back without my permission!"

Jacob had no choice but to go to the wall and face the wall, Rogge walked behind him and whispered: "I'm sorry, you have lost a lot of money on this business, not only can you not recover the cost of renting a house, buying pigeons, and writing letters, but you also don't want to get your necklace, in addition, you yourself may also lose it." ”

Jacob turned around sharply when he heard his words, but he didn't expect to be hit on the neck, and he fainted to the ground, and Roger pointed to Jacob, who was slumped on the ground, and said to Catherine, "Look at him, I'll go down and see." ”

He slashed the lock with his winged blade and cautiously made his way to the basement, where he saw Klose, with a sack on his head, tied to a chair with a worn-out table in front of him, with a leftover plate, a dirty bowl, and a broken kettle.

He stepped forward and ripped off the cloth bag on Klose's head and the cloth from his mouth, illuminating his face with the light of the winged light blade, Klose looked up at him in horror and shouted, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want!"

"Little scoundrel, what do you think we want?" Rogge asked the little furball lying on his shoulder, and the little owl craned his neck to look at Klose and shouted, "Smoked ham, roast sausage, bacon, pork chops, leg of lamb, roast beef!"

"I knew you were going to want this. Roger smiled, looked down at Klose, who had calmed down a little, and said, "Hey, old man, look at my face clearly, you don't seem to eat very well here, are you interested in going out for a good meal with us?"

"Rogge, oh my God, you're finally here!" Klose shouted at him excitedly, "I thought I was going to die, you saved me again, help me loose!"

Rogge cuts the ropes that bind him with a blade of light, Klose excitedly gets up and hugs him, Rogge calms him down, and then leads him out of the basement, where they see Catherine, Monica, and Jacob on the ground.

"I didn't expect it to be him!" Klose looked at Jacob in surprise and said to Rogge, "This guy is a gem buyer of mine, I often sell the gems I have processed, and he asked me to come here to discuss a business that day, and when I came, I found that the door was not closed and came in to find someone, and I was knocked unconscious!"

"Obviously, this guy was premeditated, and he even rented a house near your house. Roger smiled at Catherine and said, "Go out into the street and see if there are any patrolmen passing by, and let them tell Sheriff Paul to come and take them away." ”

Catherine turned and walked out of the house, and Rogge picked up the unconscious Jacob and Klose and waited outside for a while, and saw Catherine running in three steps and two steps in the distance, and not far behind her, Sheriff Paul and Antonio, Tully, and Mrs. Klose hurried over.

Mrs. Klose burst into tears when she saw her husband, and Klose hurriedly stepped forward to hug his wife, and the couple cried with joy, and Antonio, Tali, and Paul all smiled with satisfaction, and they came up to ask Roger how he had found Klose and how he had caught the kidnappers.

"It's a long story, but this guy is a vicious man!" Rogge said as he glanced down at Jacob, who was lying on the ground and had not yet woken up, "first tried to kidnap Lilith and escaped, was beaten up by the little villain, and then accused me and Klose of being thieves who stole Miss Marquise's ruby necklace." ”

Paul glanced at Jacob in surprise when he heard this, suddenly squatted down and picked up his face to look at it for a moment, and exclaimed, "Oh, isn't this Jacob?

"When I interrogated him, I found out that he was closely related to the thief who stole the ruby necklace, you can take him back and interrogate him properly, and maybe he will tell you that Klose and I are the real culprits in that case!" Rog said to Paul with a cynical smirk.

The sheriff laughed when he heard this, patted Rogge on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will go and judge him well, if he dares to talk nonsense and bite people, I will definitely clean him up!"

He asked the soldiers to drag Jacob from the ground and take him back to the law enforcement office, and he said goodbye to the others and left with them, and on the way home with the Kloses, Catherine whispered to Rogge, "Aren't you going to tell Mr. Klose the truth? What are you going to do with that necklace?"

Rog winked at her and motioned for her not to mention it again, but Catherine had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, but she couldn't let go of it, especially since she knew that the necklace was worth a lot of money, so she wanted to know what Rogge planned to do with it.

The next day, Rogge had breakfast and called Catherine out of Klose's house, and the two went to the bustling port of Khanburg, where they found it full of merchants trading in precious stones, and many of them from other continents openly buying precious jewelry.

Rogge and Catherine traveled a few places, and finally negotiated a price with a merchant from the southern continent to sell the precious ruby necklace for two hundred gold coins, and the merchant who bought the necklace boarded the ship and departed from the harbor after making this last transaction.

With the two hundred gold coins he earned, Rogge smiled and took Catherine back to Khanburg with a pipe in his mouth, and on the way Catherine asked Rogge suspiciously: "Why didn't you return the necklace to the Marquis of Khanburg?

"Miss Marquis Khan doesn't need it anymore. Rogge replied unhurriedly, smoking his pipe, "Her wedding has already taken place, and the Marquis of Khan has bought her another precious jewel necklace, which is really not worth much money to them as the lord of a city." ”

"But......" Catherine bowed her head worriedly, and overheard Rogge point ahead and say, "We are almost there." She looked curiously in the direction Rogge was pointing and saw that they had reached the door of the mint.

Rogge took her into the mint, handed over 200 gold coins to the person in charge of exchanging coins, and asked to exchange 20,000 silver coins.

Looking at the mountain of money bags in front of her, Catherine was overwhelmed with surprise, she couldn't figure out why Rogge had exchanged so many silver coins, and it would be an extremely heavy burden to take them on the road.

At this time, a mint's janitor approached Rogge and told him that a freight carriage was waiting for him outside the door, and Rogge told Catherine to look at the money here, and went to the gate of the mint himself, and gave the coachman a few money to go back, leaving the wagon with the deposit he had already paid.

He had the mint workers load all the money onto the wagon, and then took some of the money out of the wagon with Catherine as a reward.

"Where are we going?" asked Rogge, who was driving in the driver's seat, suspiciously.

"Let's go do something for Mademoiselle Marquise, darling. Rogge said with a mysterious smile.
