Chapter 11: The Detective Who Lies on the Sidelines
"Mr. Knight, do you know Zhang?" Smith was extremely puzzled.
He is older than Zhang Huaiying, and he has never left Arkham since he was sent to Arkham Town by the church as a teenager, and he knows everything about the grass and trees here.
And Zhang Huaiying grew up in the welfare home of the church in Arkham Town, Smith also hugged him when he was a child, in his memory, Zhang Huaiying has never left the town one step, all the cases are also under the town sheriff's office, and there is no way to have any contact with the high-ranking knights of the church.
Not to mention, in an inconspicuous town in the kingdom like Arkham, there are not enough people in the church to chase the dark wizard all over the world, and there will be no high-level knights passing by here, which is why White the Ripper has been arrogant for so long.
Ludwig turned his head, and the people inside the church pricked up their ears as they looked at Zhang Huaiying, realizing that they never really seemed to know their neighbors.
"Of course, Mr. Zhang is a good detective, and I am his assistant."
!!!
Aides.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Everyone, including Smith, changed their faces, they had had guessed before.
But it was nothing more than this high-ranking knight passing by Arkham Town and finding the ripper who was committing the murder, and happened to save Zhang Huaiying who was under investigation.
But the word assistant, doesn't this mean that the status of this knight is under the third-rate detective Zhang Huaiying?
How can it be?
"Mr. Knight, you're not kidding, are you?" Smith rubbed both temples vigorously.
"I watched this kid grow up, and I don't think he has the potential to make you an assistant."
Ludwig shook his head and said firmly:
"Father, it seems that you don't know your junior well enough, Zhang is the most powerful detective I Ludwig has ever seen in my life, if he hadn't discovered the Ripper's conspiracy and trapped him in an abandoned factory on the outskirts, I wouldn't have been able to capture this extremely cunning dark wizard."
Knock –
Ludwig lifted the lid, and in the iron box, the depressed White was exposed to everyone's eyes.
"White!"
Weiss was taken aback, and he subconsciously stepped forward to look at his subordinates.
But the next second,
White's twisted torso was covered with cracks, as if it had been corroded by strong acid, and thick black water was dripping out, which made him sober up instantly.
If the body of an ordinary person becomes like this, how can it be alive.
Thinking of Ludwig's words, Weiss took three steps back, his face turned pale, and he pointed to White in the iron box.
"You...... You're a ripper! ”
In an instant, the crowd dispersed.
The shadow of Arkham is still alive and well even if it is trapped in an iron box.
Weiss gasped for two breaths, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he turned his head sharply.
Zhang Huaiying stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at White in the box without changing his expression, while the latter lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into the former's eyes.
"Zhang, you have long seen that White is a ripper, so you took him to the case with you, and finally arrested him with Mr. Knight?"
Zhang Huaiying's eyes lit up, and he felt that Weiss's statement was great, so.
"It's you, you actually guessed what I did."
Hearing Zhang Huaiying say this, the ripper and the knight stood aside again, and Weiss instantly made up hundreds of thousands of words in his brain, and Zhang Huaiying in his eyes became more and more tall, as if he was covered with a thin veil, and he couldn't see it clearly.
"Zhang, it's so hard for you to lie to us."
Scam?
Before Zhang Huaiying could speak, Weiss began his tirade.
"I finally understand why you have been losing after graduating and choosing to become a detective, and you can't even find a cat. Did you already see that White was pretending to be a ripper, so he hid it like this, just for today? ”
White, who was originally lying on the corpse, didn't want to speak, but when he heard this, he couldn't hold back.
Hide? Disguise?
Phew!
This dog's day is a reckless man who only thinks with muscles!
He's a hammer detective!
"Woo-woo-" White was emotional, and everyone looked at him, and Weiss clapped his hands violently.
"You see, the suspects have all confessed. Zhang, it's so miserable that you hide it from us. ”
Hearing Weiss's words, everyone recalled Zhang Huaiying's changes today and before, and instantly felt that this was indeed the case.
"Zhang, it turns out that you are such a detective, admire!"
"You've been under pressure for so many years to catch the ripper. Zhang, I want to apologize to you for my previous rudeness. ”
Standing in the center of the crowd, the smile on Zhang Huaiying's face became more and more intense.
From a third-rate detective with a small-town joke to a detective genius who tastes his back.
This is the triumph of reasoning.
"Zhang."
"Huh?"
Smith walked up to Zhang Huaiying, his eyes flickering, and he slowly spoke.
"Thank you, Zhang. Without you, the shadow of Arkham could have hung over us for the rest of our lives. Thank you, it is you who have spent so many years of misunderstood pain to get today's victory. ”
Smith walked back under the statue, picked up the scepter given by the church, and solemnly walked in front of Zhang Huaiying, the scepter tapping the ground.
"Zhang, you are the pride of our Arkham Town."
Zhang Huaiying smiled, took off the top hat on his head and put it on his chest.
"It's just an ordinary, perfect reasoning."
As he spoke, he looked at Vess.
"Weiss, how much is the honorarium for the Ripper?"
With just a blink, Weiss gave the answer:
"Arkham's honorariums are divided into three levels, if you can provide clues, you can get 100-500 saurons, if you can provide sighting information, you can get 1000-5000 saurons, and if you can provide the exact trajectory of the ripper, you can get 10000 saurons."
At this point, Weston paused, and then a voice of excitement rang out in the church.
"As for Zhang, not only did you do the above, but you also captured the Ripper with the Knight, and according to the regulations, you can get all 15,500 Sauron!"
15500, there are zero and there are whole ones.
This is not a small amount of money, even in the royal capital, 10,000 Sauron can buy a good house, in a small place like Arkham Town, it is completely possible to make a person worry about food and clothing in this life.
Faced with such a huge number, George couldn't help but bump Zhang Huaiying's shoulder.
"Dude, you've made a fortune."
In the face of such a huge amount of money, Zhang Huaiying and Ludwig were very calm.
Looking at everyone's envious eyes, Zhang Huaiying waved his arms.
"I said I'm going to invite everyone to dinner, and today we'll go to the best hotel in town!"
"You kid." The gray-haired Smith shook his head and smiled.
In the face of such a huge amount of money, he can maintain a flat mentality, and he can't help but sigh:
"Zhang, you are really the lucky star of our Arkham Town."
