Chapter 110: The First Round of Investigation
Hearing Simon's words, Harvey Hayden stepped forward and began the interrogation with the "Whip of Pain", and soon obtained information about Beckland and their accomplices, or commanders.
But the thieves didn't see what the messenger looked like, they only knew that the messenger looked like a man, wearing a hood and a scarf, and they couldn't see the features of his face or hair at all.
Simon asked, "How did you sneak into my house to steal from our eyes and ears?" β
With Harvey Hayden by his side, the thieves felt a tremendous pressure, as if a leather whip that would cause them endless pain was lifted high, and if they did not tell the truth, the leather whip would fall. M.biQuge.biZ
"Don't deliberately avoid it!" One of the thieves said, "When we entered the Earl's Palace, we didn't meet a single person at all!" β
A few mercenaries glanced at each other, how could it be? Will the Earl's Mansion not even have a guard on duty at night?
Simon said coldly: "You guys are lying! β
Harvey Hayden immediately put more pressure on the thieves, and the "whip of pain" seemed to fall at any moment.
The thieves were already in a state of mental breakdown, and they wept bitterly that they were not lying.
Simon frowned and waved his hand at Harvey Hayden.
Harvey Hayden let the thieves go.
It had come to pass, it was not that the Earl's Court was devoid of guards, but that the commanders behind the scenes had skillfully avoided all the guards, or had blinded the guards.
These thieves were completely taken advantage of, and even their theft was suspicious, and no matter how bold they were, they could not be stupid enough to steal Count Vincent, who was in good financial condition.
At the end of the interrogation, Simon smiled at Harvey Hayden and said, "If I can catch the mastermind behind it, I am willing to give me a 500-pound honorarium." β
Harvey Hayden did not explicitly agree: "You can also see, the instigators behind them do not seem to be simple, I can only help you pay attention to the relevant news." β
"Okay." Simon immediately said, "If I can provide a valid lead, I will also pay 20 to 50 pounds." β
Several mercenaries exchanged glances, and their eyes lit up, but they also knew in their hearts that it was estimated that only Harvey Hayden, who was in the "middle sequence", had the ability to complete this commission.
Harvey Hayden sat in the carriage with Hobert, who was not riding a horse, and before getting into the carriage, he said to Vico: "Go to the house of the owner of the forest farm who fetched us water at noon, and tell them that the thief has been caught, and let them rest assured." β
Vico agreed, and rode away from the convoy to report the news.
The carriage slowly drove in the direction of the city, and Harvey Hayden looked at Hobart and smiled, "Every time I see you, it reminds me of the days when I fought behind Christine and Chief Rex.
"At that time, I was a little soldier, a witness to their legendary life.
"Because of these two chiefs, the people of Fursak have become polite, the people of Fenerport have become more reasonable, and the people of the Order have disappeared."
He lamented, "It's a pity that both officers were quickly transferred back to Rune. β
Hobert followed the topic and asked, "Are you still Rex's subordinate?" He had been waiting for Harvey Hayden to start nostalgic for the past.
Harvey Hayden nodded, "You've probably heard a lot of stories about Chief Rex, right?" β
"Yes, but when they return to Rune, their saga seems to be over?"
"That's because Chief Rex can't get used to the royal family......" Harvey Hayden looked outside, and saw that there were no other mercenaries next to the carriage, so he whispered: "Chief Rex can't get used to seeing the faces of those people in the royal family, so he chose to leave the army."
"It is said that the royal family wanted to round up Chief Rex at that time, but it was Chief Rex, and of course the round-up failed."
Hobert asked, "And after that?" β
"Since then, Chief Rex has been completely free, and although he has been wanted by the military and the royal family, he has often been seen in Beckland." Harvey Hayden laughed:
"We have always believed that Chief Christine has never left the army in order to always be Chief Rex's internal response.
"But every time he sent a message, he must have done it so skillfully that no one could catch them. Hehehe, their cooperation has always been so tacit. β
Hobart asked, "Do you know anyone who knows about Rex who returned to the North Continent?" β
"Yes, your father!"
"But he never told me about their experience after they returned to Beckland, he only wanted to tell the story of them in the Southern Continent."
Harvey Hayden's expression was a little gloomy: "I think that Chief Christine, who has lost his best friend, should have had a very unsatisfactory life over the years, and the memories after returning to the Northern Continent must be too heavy for him." β
He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You can go to Dix, he used to be the captain of Officer Rex's guard, and I heard that he followed Chief Rex until the chief died, and he didn't start business. β
Hobert hurriedly asked again, "Where can I find him?" β
"His company is at 1899 NiccolΓ² Street, and you say you are the eldest son of Chief Christine, and he will surely leave everything at hand to come to you."
Hobert quickly took out his notebook and jotted down the address.
The subsequent small talk revolved around Harvey Hayden's experiences in the southern continent, which gave Hobert a lot of new insights into the geography and environment of the southern continent.
When the group returned to Beckland, it was already completely dark.
Especially in Bakeland, where the weather is surrounded by fog at all times, as soon as the sun sets, the city is completely plunged into darkness.
Simon took them back to Count Vincent's mansion, paid them an honorarium, and had dinner prepared for them in the kitchen.
After dinner, Hobert and Harvey Hayden left each other's mailing addresses and each took a cab home.
Hobert did not immediately go to Viscount Gleilint and tell him about the ring, but the next morning Hobert arrived at Glelint's mansion and asked Glelynt, "What time is it?" β
Viscount Gleilynt immediately understood what Hobart meant, and took out his pocket watch and showed it to Hobart, the hands motionless.
So the two of them went to the study together, and Hobert gave a brief account of how he had met Greinte's father's ring yesterday.
Glerint was first amazed at Hobert's efficiency, and then he sneered, "Vincent, he has always considered himself my father's best friend. β
In the end, he also felt pity: "I wonder if we will have a chance to steal the ring?" β
"Perhaps," Hobart said, "I'm going to convene a gathering of the Justice League, maybe this small organization can develop a few noble children who love the occult like you, and in the future will give us the opportunity to steal rings." β
