Chapter 67: Case Follow-up

In the evening of the same day, after dealing with the aftermath of all the werewolf incidents, Deacon Ozk found Wayne, who was practicing swordsmanship by the river, somewhat physically and mentally exhausted.

He stood aside and watched the witcher's wolf-like, ferocious, swift, and continuous sword before he stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and said:

"Master Wayne, those injured workers have been sent to the infirmary for treatment, according to the doctor's diagnosis, they should all be skin injuries, not life-threatening."

"The bodies of the two sacrificed workers were also brought home by their families."

"As for the child you brought back, we also sent someone to find his aunt's house, and someone is already taking care of him."

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a second, looked up at Wayne's face, and then hesitated and said:

"It's just that the workers have some opinions about burying the werewolf's body."

"They think that the best way to deal with such a monster is to burn the body of the werewolf."

Hearing this, Wayne put away his steel sword, looked back at Deacon Ozk, looked at this southerner, his expression was serious, his tone was serious, and he said in a posture of an expert fooling a layman:

"Mr. Ozk, the workers are shallow, so they don't know that werewolves are very dangerous monsters, they have a terrible curse on them, even if their bodies are burned, these monsters will turn into evil spirits and continue to endanger the safety of the workers."

"And the reason why I want to bury him next to my wife, and let you help me find the real culprit, is because only in this way can I remove the hatred of that monster and let him rest in peace."

Speaking of this, Wayne's words paused and said in a helpless tone:

"It's not dangerous for people living in towns to be too far away, but we, the lumberyards, the workers here, have to stay near this forest."

"You don't want to have an evil spirit around you, who can be invisible, who can curse, who is not afraid of swords, and who always wants to kill the lives of the living."

Listening to Wayne's narration, Ozk's face couldn't help but be a little pale with fright, he had seen the werewolf's corpse with his own eyes, a strong body of more than two meters and five, huge claws as sharp as a blade, and a wolf-like head full of sharp teeth, a bloody mouth, and hideous and terrifying.

Seeing such a terrifying monster, this southerner was a little unimaginable, if there was no action from this demon hunter master in front of him, how many people would have to be killed and injured in the face of such a monster in order to destroy it.

Thinking of the evil spirits that may appear in the future, Ozk shuddered, his attitude became more anxious, and he said solemnly:

"I see, Master Wayne, I'm going to press the managers of the nearby lumbermills to give them a list of lumberjacks who might have been around the hunter's hut three days ago, based on the physical characteristics you have given."

"When the time comes, please go and screen."

Wayne nodded, looked at the deacon's back as he left, and thought to himself that although he had told some lies, white lies sometimes brought about a more perfect ending, and justice could be served because of it.

Sure enough, driven by this evil rumor, the owners of those lumberyards all became quite cooperative, and in less than a few days, Wayne was provided with a fairly accurate list.

And after getting rid of the werewolves, his work became quite leisurely during the few days he spent on duty at the lumberyard.

Aside from a few blind demons and the mentally retarded André Bugs, which would appear around the lumberyard from time to time, there were no other monsters attacking the woodyard, which was outnumbered.

Taking advantage of this free time, Wayne will receive a normal-level duty task at Deacon Ozk every day, and complete it as if he were at work to get rewards.

On weekdays, he practiced riding in the clearing, collected herbs in the forest, boiled witcher potions, and by the way, he also took out the bow and arrow that he hadn't practiced for a long time, and practiced it, which was quite comfortable.

The expert-level werewolf quest provided him with a total of one hundred and fifty experience points and an expert-level treasure chest, which successfully promoted his demon hunter level from level five to level six.

Not only has the physical fitness been slightly improved, but also a system reward of ability points.

Wayne (16 years old)

Class: Witcher

Level: 6 (123/600)

Ability value: 6 points

Attributes: Strength 18, Agility 23, Constitution 20, Spirit 23.

Skills: Swordsmanship LV5, French Seal LV8, Gene Mutation LV4, GWENT Brand LV4.

Special Bloodline: Ancient Blood (Weak, Unawakened) requires 10 Ability Points to activate.

Auxiliary skills: Archery LV2, Cooking LV5, Planting LV3, Alchemy LV3, Riding LV3.

At present, in addition to the cooking skills that have reached level 5 and have not yet selected skills and expertise, such as the mutation level increased by drinking medicine, and the level of the GWENT card increased by playing cards, they have all reached the peak of level 4.

In the future, as long as he puts some effort into these two skills, there is a high probability that he will break through to level 5 within a month, so as to get the opportunity to choose skills and expertise.

The only pity is that the ability points are too precious, except for the little ability points that can be provided by each upgrade, and this power can only be obtained by absorbing magic nodes around the world.

And absorbing the magic node, it will inevitably cause damage to the space, forming a tiny spatial crack, which makes Wayne a little entangled, thinking that he must choose his target carefully.

This afternoon marks Wayne's fifth day on duty at the lumberyard.

Deacon Ozk found him with a serious face and spoke:

"Master Wayne, the seven lumberyards near the werewolf hut have all gathered the lumberjacks who may have appeared near the hut at the time of the incident and matched the physiognomy characteristics you provided, a total of fifty-three people, waiting for your questioning."

"Do you have time now?"

Hearing this, Wayne raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect Deacon Ozk and the bosses of those lumbermills to be so efficient.

It seems that the rumors of evil spirits have frightened and frightened those merchants who make money by logging wood, and in order not to hinder the making of money, they will work hard in this regard.

He nodded at Ozk and asked:

"Where are they now? Inside those lumberyards? ”

Ozk shook his head and said:

"In order to settle this matter as soon as possible, those merchants have sent these lumberjacks to our lumberyard, and they are now being guarded in our dormitory."

Faced with such a thoughtful arrangement, Wayne said to Deacon Ozk with appreciation:

"Thank you, Mr. Ozk, it is because of your help that things will go so smoothly."

"Next time, when I see Mr. Levarden, I'll tell him the truth."

"Your efforts will surely be praised by him."

Ozk looked at Wayne with some delight and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Master Wayne, this is my job to do."

After a few pleasantries, Wayne and Ozk went to the lumberyard dormitory.

Sure enough, as Ozik had said, more than fifty lumberjacks with different expressions were guarded in a dozen dormitories, and they were either talking to each other, or they were silent, or their expressions were nervous.

Apparently he already knew what he was gathered here for.

Wayne did not immediately begin questioning the lumberjacks, but quietly hid outside the dormitory, observing them one by one through his keen observation.

It also marks certain people who show weakness, fear, anger, or other particularly strong emotions.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when he had almost finished observing, that he turned to Deacon Ozk, who had been with him all along, and said:

"Deacon Ozk, please help me arrange a room for a separate one, I'm going to have a separate questioning of these lumberjacks."

Otzke was quite cooperative, and immediately arranged a spacious room, and let some lumberyard guards control the entire site, and let the lumberjacks enter the room one by one, and accept Wayne's questioning to prevent them from causing any disturbance.

In fact, Wayne doesn't know what an interrogation is, and when a lumberjack is arranged across from him, he can only see it through the TV series in his previous life, where the police ask about the experience of the prisoner and ask questions such as alibi.

Of course, as a demon hunter with spell-casting abilities, he didn't need any special interrogation skills.

When he confronted those whom he had marked as showing weakness, anger, fear, or other particularly strong emotions, Wayne would cast the Seal of Acxipha, hypnotize them directly, and ask him questions he wanted to know.

Things are going well, and the biggest difficulty in this matter is not the interrogation of the loggers, but how to narrow down the criminals from a few hundred or thousands of lumberjacks in all the lumberyards to dozens of people who can be questioned individually.

When the three prisoners were sent to the lumber yard dormitory in Rewalden by their boss, their fate was already sealed.

All that is needed is the length of the interrogation.

About two hours later, before the evening came, Wayne, who had cast spells more than a dozen times in a row, endured the fatigue coming from his body, and finally successfully caught the three prisoners through the hypnosis of the Yakxi Fayin, and recorded their crimes in detail.

Even if these criminals forcibly quibble after waking up, but in the face of the detailed criminal records recorded in black and white, these villains, who were ordinary people, finally succumbed to the ironclad evidence and confessed their guilt.

Deacon Ozk immediately understood, and with the help of several guards, the three criminals were sent to the prison in Vijma City, along with their signed criminal records.

Not surprisingly, what awaits them is the fate of being hanged on the execution ground.
