It's still cold on a sunny day after the snow. In this cold morning, few people came out to do activities so early, but Ka Miao got up early and left the Duke's mansion.

She walked in the snow, creaking the snow under her feet, clutching the letter that the Duke had given her, and cursing the bread robber hundreds of times in her heart. The gendarmerie was also stationed in the southern district, not far from the duke's residence. It didn't take long for Kammy to arrive at the gendarmerie station.

The letters handed to her by the Duke are displayed. The guard guarding the door saw the insignia of the Rand family and brought Ka Miao to the head of the gendarmerie, Levi. Levi is a man in his forties, with golden hair and blue eyes, although he is already old, but when he was young, he should have been very handsome.

Levi is a knight of the seas, born as a civilian, and being able to serve as the captain of the gendarmerie is already the result of many things. When he was young, Levi also had a heart higher than the sky, and wanted to make a comeback for those who once despised his civilian background. When he was old, he lost his lofty ambitions, and just wanted to sit peacefully in the position of captain of the gendarmerie until he retired.

Under Levi's jurisdiction, the security of the entire city of Paris is actually really good, and there have not been any very bad cases for many years. Levi also knew that if he wanted to continue to stay in this position peacefully, he would not offend those nobles, so he really attached great importance to seeing Duke Rand personally write to him to handle this case.

After opening Duke Rand's letter and reading it, and after reading the letter and understanding the whole incident, Revy pondered. This case is really not a big case, and ordinary people will only consider themselves unlucky, and will not run to the gendarmerie to report the case and ask for the thief who robbed the bread. However, since the Duke of Rand personally sent a letter to advise him, the case was not so easy.

The thief who robbed the bread must be caught, and he must be sentenced to a heavy sentence before he can give Duke Rand an explanation. As for this maid, she was naturally sent by the Duke of Rand to monitor the whole process.

Levi walked to the room next to his office and called out to two people to accompany him to the case. Although in such a cold weather, they still had to go out to solve the case, and the two of them were a little dissatisfied, but they didn't show it. After all, this is something that Duke Rand personally ordered.

Duke Rand is one of only two dukes in the Lion Empire, and is trusted by the kings of the empire. They don't want to be offended.

Rivi and the two gendarmerie men, as well as Ka Miao, set off. Knowing that they were moving towards the East End, Ka Miao began to wonder, and Levi didn't ask her anything, could she just catch the bread thief?

The sky was really clear, the blue sky against the snow-covered city, and the scenery was very beautiful. There were no pedestrians on the street, and it was deserted.

Ka Miao followed Levi and the others into the slums of the East Side. Ka Miao was even more surprised when she saw Levi knocking on the family's door, wondering how Levi was sure that the thief was here.

When there was a knock on the door, a man's impatient voice sounded inside the door, "Who? It's so cold, so early, don't let people sleep?"

Levi didn't say anything and continued to knock. Then there was a sound of footsteps, and the man, though impatient, finally came to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the face of a middle-aged man was revealed. This man has a lewd appearance, and people who see his face can tell at a glance that he is not a good person. He is indeed not a good person, in this area, he is really famous, and is known as the "poisonous snake". He is the owner of several brothels and also has some rogue warblers in his hands, and under his protection, these people are unscrupulously ** in the East End.

Not only that, but he also sells some drugs in brothels, bars at his disposal. One-third of the eastern part of the city is his sphere of influence. As soon as the man saw Rivi, a flattering smile suddenly appeared on his obscene face.

"My lord, I haven't done anything lately, have I? My men are also very careful not to cause any trouble. The Viper said to Levi flatteringly, "It's cold, so why don't you go to my bar with me for a drink." ”

"We are here today to find someone. I'm sure it's your people from the East End. Levi's face was cold. Although the members of their gendarmerie inevitably deal with these local snakes, deep down, he still hates these people very much.

Levi looked at Ka Miao behind him and asked her to step forward.

"He's twelve, three-year-old, with black hair, and he's as tall as my chest. ”

"There are three people who qualify......," said the viper, "but I wonder what he has done?"

He robbed the duke's maid of bread. Levi said.

The viper showed a sudden expression and said, "There is only one person who is eligible." Only the kid of the Hill family would do such a promising thing as snatching bread. ”

The viper felt some excitement and even schadenfreude inside. He saw that Ben and his sister were having a hard time, and he once wanted Ben to join his gang, and he wanted to come to such a good thing, and Ben should be very happy, but Ben sternly refused. Stupid sticks to his duty, only does petty theft, just to make a living, and never gets involved in greater evil.

Not only that, but Stupid also despised him fiercely, saying that he was extremely evil and that there would be no good reward in the future. Thinking that Stupid had robbed the duke's maid of the bread, and finally had the misfortune to commit a big incident, the viper felt a burst of joy in his heart.

"Where does he live?" asked Levi without a word of nonsense.

"It's right in the back of the narrowest alley ahead. His name is Ben Hill, his parents are gone, and he lives with his sister. Viper didn't forget to tell Levi everything he knew.

"Okay, got it, thank you for today's events. When I'm free, I'll go to your bar for a drink. Levi said to the man behind him, "Let's go." ”

The viper quickly walked out, "My lord, I'll take you there." I'm familiar with these alleys. If I take you there, I won't let that kid run away. ”

Levi nodded.

So the five of them walked towards the alley that the viper had said.

............

As soon as it was dawn, Stupid woke up. After a night's sleep, Ben felt much better. I just feel a little hungry. Ben is twelve years old this year, which is the age of growing the body, and it is natural for him to feel hungry because he can't eat enough.

Stupid looked at his sister, who was still sleeping, and went to the bathroom to wash up with cold water. Then I went into the back room and saw that my sister had also woken up.

As soon as Qingxue saw Ben, she said to Ben, "Brother, I'm hungry again." After saying that, she covered her stomach and seemed to feel very embarrassed.

"You go and brush your teeth, wash your face. When it was over, we ate bread together. There was good bread all day today. Stupid whispered to Light Snow.

Qingxue happily got dressed and went to wash.

When Qingxue came back, Ben took out two loaves of bread from the paper bag, handed one to Qingxue, and the other took it himself, and ate it.

Although the bread was cold, it was still so sweet and fluffy.

The warm atmosphere permeated the two of them, and Ben felt that his heart was so calm, and such a time was so beautiful. As long as he can have his sister by his side and bread to eat, he feels full of happiness in his heart.

Qingxue didn't speak, she looked stupid with a smile while eating bread, and thought: Brother is so good, to bring back such delicious bread, brother is really the best and best brother in the world.

Just as the brother and sister were eating bread, there was a knock on the door.

It's really strange that someone knocks on the door on a morning like this, and some bad feelings arise in my heart. He stood up and looked at Light Snow, who also had a panicked expression on her face.

"Don't be afraid, brother, go and see. With that, he walked out.

When Ben opened the door, he saw the viper, the tall figure of Rivi next to the viper, and the two gendarmerie guards behind him. Looking at the uniforms on their bodies, which were different from the temperament of the paupers in the East District, the bad feeling in his heart became even heavier.

At this time, Ka Miao's fat body squeezed in from behind the four people, saw Ben, and then shouted, "It's him, it's this kid, who robbed me of my bread." ”
