Chapter XXII: The Knights

A striking red cordon surrounds the Seasand Bar, and the Knights guard the entrances and exits of the bar.

Pedestrians passing by this neighborhood did not even have the desire to take a second look at the excitement, and immediately ran away as far away as possible.

Because in the Holy Kingdom, when the Knights of the Church and the Red Cordon appear together, it represents only one thing - turbidity pollution

Fortunately, judging from the area where the cordon was pulled up and the manpower sent by the Knights, the disaster level of this turbidity pollution should not be high.

Inside the sea sand bar.

"So Mr. Liao Ji, let me confirm with you again, at 4:16 in the afternoon, a gang of gangsters organized by Kaleva broke into the Haisha Bar in the Bejang neighborhood, and its leader claimed to be a doomer to threaten the boss and try to extort a high amount of protection money, but on the way to the handover, the leader suddenly lost control, and then went berserk into a turbid corpse, and began to attack everything irrationally in the form of a monster, in order to survive, you and the gang joined forces, and finally worked together to kill the monster?"

After reading a long list of testimonies, the member of the Order looked up at the young man in a tan suit with a fair face across from him.

"Do you see that Mr. Liao Ji has anything else to correct or add to my transcript?"

"No, you've recorded it in detail, and I've already told you everything I've seen, so... Can we go now? To be honest, it really shadows me here. ”

In response to Liao Ji's request, the members of the Knights showed expressions of understanding and apology, and he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Liao Ji, I have to ask you to be more patient and cooperate with us here." ”

"Okay, but as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured that we will notify you as soon as we investigate clearly."

After the investigator knight saluted Liao Ji's chest, he left quickly, reporting in the direction of the captain who was here and was in charge of the incident.

Looking at the knight's back, Liao Ji was thoughtful.

The so-called knights are not really the kind of knights who wear armor and have a sword pinned to their waists.

They are just the name of an armed force formed by the "Church".

If you have to compare it, from Liao Ji's point of view, these people wearing uniform silver-gray uniforms, pistols around their waists, and cross brooches are somewhat similar to the nature of city police.

As you can tell by its name, the Holy Kingdom is a state governed entirely by the "Church", which is equivalent to a government.

However, as Irene introduced to herself at the beginning, because of its special history and geography, the Black Grotto Gathering Area has maintained a certain degree of independence and autonomy, and the church has not completely taken over here, but the gangsters have become the masters of the Black Grotto.

However, no matter where it is or whether it is managed by itself, the church has the obligation and responsibility to maintain local law and order, and to organize manpower as soon as possible to eliminate the pollution, stop the spread, and help the wounded.

This is the first article written by the goddess "Sytheria" in the founding canon, which is the absolute purpose of the "church".

The church has done this for hundreds of years.

No one dares to disobey it.

At least...

Don't dare to blatantly disobey.

"Captain Dulin, this is one of the survivors of the scene, the transcript of the bar guest Liao Ji, please take a look!" The knight who had investigated Liao Ji before trotted to a middle-aged man and respectfully handed over the report.

From the title of the young knight, as well as the extra holy tattoos on the shoulders and cuffs of the middle-aged man's uniform, it can be clearly seen that this "Durin" is the leader of this knight order and the person in charge of the incident.

However, compared to the serious attitude of the young investigator knight in front of him, Durin, as the captain, seemed a little lazy.

He waved his hand at the Liao Ji transcript handed by the young knight, and he didn't even glance at it.

"Let's just say it, is it different from other people?" Durin asked, tilting his head.

"No, except for some minor differences, the testimonies of these survivors at the bar scene are almost the same."

"Hmph." Durin had expected a nasal sound.

He then continued to ask the young knight, "So, now we have almost everything to investigate, Tamik, what do you think of this pollution incident?" ”

After a slight pause, the young knight straightened up and spoke his analysis to Durin.

"First of all, according to your previous instructions, Captain, I did not immediately go to the scene of the incident, but found several guests from the surrounding area who left the bar before the pollution incident broke out, and from their testimonies, at least the first half of the incident is credible, it is indeed the gangsters from Kaleva who came to the bar to stir up trouble and are ready to collect protection money."

"Well, go on, and then? At least the first half of your sentence is credible, which means... Do you suspect that there is something wrong with their testimony in the second half? ”

"Yes, Captain Doolin, and I think it's a big problem." The young knight nodded.

"Tell me, what's the problem?"

"I think there are three serious suspicions, first, according to the survivors' descriptions, they joined forces with the gang to fight the rampaging Doomers, but why in the end, judging from the corpses at the scene, it was the gangs that were completely wiped out, while the Haisha Bar side did not have any casualties?"

"Maybe it's their luck, or maybe they're just lucky... These gangsters are the first to be unlucky because they are close to their boss? Doolin retorted.

"What you said is also reasonable, but because of this, there is a second suspicion, we investigated the corpses of the gangsters and found that the cause of their deaths was basically cut by some sharp weapon, which is obviously not like the work of the turbid corpse monster."

"Finally, and the third very suspicious point, is that Mr. Liao Ji and his female companion."

"Although they claimed that they missed the opportunity to leave the bar because they were frightened, I always felt that these two people, and the atmosphere here, were really a little... Sort of..."

"Out of place?"

"Yes, Captain Doolin!" The young knight nodded with feeling.

"So, you should already have the outline of this incident in mind, right?"

As he spoke, Durin touched his trouser pocket, but there was nothing, and then he realized that he was wearing a uniform for going out, and the cigarette and lighter were not here, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of bad luck.

Ignoring the captain's small movements, the young knight finally gave his own answer.

"Report to the captain, the whole picture of this pollution incident, in my opinion, it should be the gangsters of Caleva who came to extort protection money, but something happened in the middle of the way, which led to a conflict with a third-party force in the bar, and the gang is the party that has been crushed from the combat effectiveness, and the leader of Caleva, most likely in this desperate situation, caused violent mood swings, and then the turbidity in the body went out of control, and finally went berserk into a monster, but... Even so, he was shot and killed. ”

After finishing his reasoning in one breath, Tamik looked nervously at his captain and master, who was also the most outstanding and powerful knight in the Knights of the Church in the Black Cave over the years, Durin.

"You're right, and I think that's what happened."

Durin first affirmed the young knight, which made Tamik suddenly excited, he couldn't help it, and immediately asked: "Then I will immediately organize people to capture the man and the woman!" ”

After all, the "third party" in his reasoning is already obvious, and the other party is only two people, and he can destroy an entire gang squad, and even kill the rampaging Doom, all kinds of clues prove a point.

The man and woman... It's also the Doomer!

Pity.

Before the excited Tammik had taken half a step, a pair of calloused thick hands directly tugged at the neckline and pulled back the young knight who looked like a hairy boy.

"Team... Captain? Tamik looked back at the middle-aged face covered in stubble, puzzled.

"Tamik, in terms of case handling and investigation ability, I think you have already become a teacher, so next, you should follow me to learn the next necessary skill to become a good knight."

"You... What do you mean? ”

"Survival Tips."

After finishing speaking, Du Lin ignored the young knight who was stunned in place, and strode towards a young man not far away.
