Chapter IX Coping

Gleilynt was speechless for a long time......

"It's not even manslaughter...... It was he who jumped off the building! ”

"Why can't he think about it like that? Is! ”

Inevitably, I was very panicked and quite uneasy.

He chose to defend himself inwardly, and at the same time relieved the pressure by complaining.

As a time-traveler in a peaceful era, even if Glerint usually thinks he is bold enough, he is really frightened at this time.

————————————————

It took a while for Glerint to be rejuvenated by the pain in his leg.

When I looked down, the small opening had stopped bleeding, and the dried blood had coagulated into a blood crust.

On the slightly deformed corpses downstairs, bits of almost transparent light precipitated, attracting each other and condensing together.

He quickly calmed down and thought about what to do.

"The police can't be allowed to discover the extraordinary characteristics, even if they most likely don't recognize them."

"Define him as an ordinary liar and avoid attracting the attention of the night watchers."

"Call the police after half an hour to ensure that even if the police find a problem, it will take more than an hour to tell the night watcher directly! Exceeding the best channeling time. ”

Glerint mused in thought, combing through possible loopholes one by one.

Then, he crept downstairs and picked up the extraordinary trait. And he found the delicate dagger from the corpse - spiritual intuition told him that it was a magical item.

Aside from these two items, there was nothing otherly about "Sylvie".

However, the handling of these two items really made it quite difficult for Glerint.

The dagger was actually fine, and Glerint threw it into the drainage pit in the south corner of the villa.

He can get it back at any time when he's free!

However, he didn't dare to leave it at will, as it would be terrible if he was accidentally eaten by some animal.

There is a high probability that ordinary animals will not be able to directly withstand the power of the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 8, and they will go crazy if they eat it, which is quite dangerous!

But he couldn't carry it with him either, in case this "Sylvie" had a criminal record, which led to the night watchman.

Carrying extraordinary characteristics, Gleilynt will be completely exposed to the eyes of the official Extraordinary.

Even if they don't act aggressively against a nobleman, they will at least be included in the watch list!

After pondering for a while, the time is almost half an hour!

Gleilynt didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and went to the basement to look around, and saw a heavy, thick wooden box, and his eyes lit up.

It's up to you! At least the strength of a mouse or a cat can't lift the lid, and a bigger animal can't get into the room.

Quickly returning upstairs, Glerint pretended to wake up from a coma.

Let out a shout - "Someone, go and call the police." ”

————————————————

"Mr. Mariano, are you sure that your testimony is completely true and reliable?"

"I must warn you of any serious consequences if your testimony is false. According to the law, you will be severely punished. ”

Angela is an experienced senior inspector at the West Villas field, with slightly white eyebrows, bony cheeks, and very pronounced nasolabial folds, and she looks to be in her fifties.

Half an hour ago, his men reported a murder in the home of the new Viscount Glerinte Mariano, and the deceased was suspected to be the perpetrator of multiple thefts, the fast thief Quinn.

"You mean, this seasoned thief, who has never missed a beat, came to your house disguised as an inventor Sylvie in an attempt to deceive you? After you saw through it, you accidentally 'jumped off the building' and fell to your death in the process of fleeing in a hurry?"

His tone seemed to say that he saw a mouse biting a dog today.

If it weren't for Quinn's immediate cause of death being a fall, Angela would probably have directly announced the arrest of Glerint.

……

It is difficult to explain to ordinary people the motives of the extraordinary, and Gleilint decides to keep his mouth shut, as a "lawyer", he fully agrees with the "Russell quote" that "the more you say, the more wrong you are".

"I know it's hard to be convincing, but I think I fully explained everything I knew. In the name of the goddess, I do not say half a lie. ”

"If you continue to induce me to speak out and be held accountable for no reason, I will file an accusation in the name of the nobles."

Yes, the most surprising thing about the whole thing was that Quinn's did die from a fall, and the marks left by the extraordinary ability "Psychic Piercing" were completely covered by the traces of falling to death!

As for the marks left by the punch in the chest, Gleilint admitted it calmly. Because this is only the strength of a normal adult man, and there is no transcendence involved. And it has nothing to do with Quinn's cause of death at all.

Based on various details, the medical examiner has pointed out that Quinn jumped off the building on his own initiative and was not pushed down the stairs.

The only suspicion is that it was more than half an hour after Quinn's death that Glerint called the servant to call the police.

How do you explain this? Mr. Mariano. ”

"I don't know about it, I fainted after he jumped out of the window. When I woke up, I immediately called and called the police. ”

In this part, Gleilynt could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he didn't know anything.

There was a risk that this would lead to the nightwatch's dreaming, but Glerint wasn't particularly concerned about it.

The method of confrontation is meditation, and then consciousness enters those "light filaments" in dreams, which can effectively fight against all kinds of living people in the middle and low sequences of psychic, dreaming and even mind reading.

However, the disadvantage is that it cannot last too long, and the outside body is completely unprotected at this time, and can only be used to deal with the official extraordinary person with preparation.

And if you don't delay this half an hour, once Quinn is involved in something extraordinary. If the official extraordinaire is drawn out to directly channel his "spirit", then Gleilynt will have no room for mediation, and can only hope for the benevolence of the official extraordinary.

Years of investigating the case intuition told Angela that even if all the evidence pointed to Quinn jumping off the building, the truth of the case must still be related to this Mr. Mariano.

However, he does not intend to delve into it, which is due to a number of considerations.

The first Mr. Mariano was an aristocrat, and the crime took place in the other party's house, and the other party to the conflict was a repeat thief. Normally, it should not be Glelint's initiative to act malicious, and ordinary criminals will not choose to act in their own homes.

Second, and most importantly, Quinn's immediate cause of death had no obvious relationship with Glerint, which was the core factor that Angela didn't think was necessary to delve into.

"Okay, Mr. Mariano, we don't have a problem."

"Congratulations, we have preliminarily determined that you are not guilty, and the details are still to be further verified."

"But you are a direct witness to the case, and we need you to go to the police station to make a record."

"Also, until we close your case, if you don't want your freedom to be restricted, you'll need to post a ten-pound bail. If it is finally confirmed that you are okay, you can get the bail back. ”

The person in charge of informing Glerint was another young inspector, who did not know his name.

————————————————

Inside the police station, Glerint was quite cooperative with the police's questions, much to the relief of the young transcript inspector.

Even if Glerint refuses to cooperate, they will have a hard time dealing with a nobleman in the absence of evidence.

If it were civilians, they would not hesitate to use intimidation, torture and the like.

Don't think too benevolently about any bureau anywhere, it's essentially a violent law enforcement agency!

"Mr. Mariano, one last question, for the sake of your reputation, we think it is possible to claim that the police killed this criminal outside your villa, what do you think?" He tentatively questioned Gleilint.

Glerint was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"No problem, you're very thoughtful."
