She Is Not a Witch Chapter 101: Hunting and interrogation
In the darkness, a figure was running fast in the streets.
In the early hours of the night, the hasty and rapid footsteps were particularly obvious. Some guards patrolling the intersection of the street immediately shouted together when they heard it.
"You! Stop, what are you doing, if you run again, you will be killed." The voice was eager and fast.
Hearing the yelling behind him, the adventurer in the hunting suit didn't stop, but ran even faster.
He nimbly jumped onto the low wall beside him, and then approached the city wall, ready to find a gap and forcefully break through.
Although Viscount Moruo is a real nobleman, he doesn't have too many guards under him. Although there are people on duty on the city wall, they are all scattered, with only two or three people every 100 meters.
"Grab him!" Seeing that figure leap onto the city wall, anxious shouts came from the street, and the guards on the city wall also reacted and began to gather here.
The iron chain helmets and armor pieces rubbed against each other while running, and some guards began to take out their bows and crossbows, aiming at the figure that kept jumping and running in the dark night.
Whoosh——
A few times the bow sounded, and the arrow pierced through the air and shot over. The tip of the arrow shone with a little blue light, like reflective glass, and suddenly sank into the right chest of the adventurer, making him let out a muffled groan , and then the body fell down.
"Chase!"
Several black-clothed sergeants sped up their speed again, jumped over a long arc, and rushed towards the place where the figure fell.
"Ah!" In the dark alley, the adventurer drew out the knife in his hand, and a bright and dangerous red light attached to it, and then his figure was like lightning, and he recoiled in front of these chasing black-clothed soldiers. The demon sequence has always been so dangerous, whether it is against people or against oneself.
Clang clang clang——
There was a fierce collision sound in the alley, and sparks flashed in the darkness, followed by a few injured muffled groans.
'Cutting and beheading array! ’ During the brief stalemate, another man in black came rushing to the alley, with epaulets on his body, he seemed to be an officer.
Under the command of this newly joined officer, the pursued sergeants immediately changed their shapes, and the sabers of the several people showed pale magic at the same time, distorting the space in every possible way, and then slashed down at a very high speed. , divide this narrow space into several regions.
Blood splashed suddenly, soaking the walls and the ground. The adventurer who had resisted fell down with a look of astonishment. There were still several open wounds on his body, which were sharp and neat.
A sergeant stepped forward, checked the corpse again, and then turned around.
"My lord, he is already dead." In fact, the sergeant was a little confused. According to the form just now, it is obvious that he can be caught alive, but why did he suddenly use the joint combat technique of "cutting and beheading formation"? , Kill the sinner on the spot.
"Hmm." The young officer looked at it before giving an explanation.
"We've already caught the other one, this one's not needed."
Subsequently, the night in the small town became calm again, the streets became quieter and quieter, and no one dared to stand up and run around. Even those restless little **** know that now is an extraordinary moment, and if one fails, it will be fatal.
Inside the castle, the lights were brightly lit. Viscount Moruo was sitting in the lord's hall, surrounded by two rows of guards in full armor. To gain some sense of security.
In addition to Viscount Morrow, there are several other people in the hall now, one is Miss Charlene from the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce, the other is an official of the Imperial Army, and Kevin is kneeling in the center of the hall.
The original captain of the guard was tied with a rope at this moment, and there were still traces of whipping left on his body. The red marks, some of which were directly cracked, and dark red scars remained in them.
"Useless stuff!" Viscount Mo Ruo tightly held the wine glass in his hands, wishing to crush it.
After a while, he calmed down a little and drank the dark red and transparent wine.
"Is this how you repay? Captain Kevin! With so many subordinates and such tight protection, people have stolen things. It's hard for me not to suspect that you are colluding with outsiders?"
Viscount Morrow sat on a high throne, looking down at Kevin, the captain of the guard who had neglected his duty.
"I...I'm sorry." Kevin lowered his head and panted, replied hoarsely, and then lowered his head.
"Huh!"
Looking at this familiar face, Viscount Moruo felt as if his heart was burning with poison. Thanks to his trust in this subordinate, the thief stole such a crucial thing.
What makes him even more anxious and uncomfortable is that there are investigators from the Imperial Army in the city now. These people are directly under the imperial family's orders and are not easy to get along with.
If one is not good, the existence of the ruins will be exposed, and then ordinary nobles like him will not be able to get their hands on it.
Thinking of this, he felt that the fire in his heart was much stronger.
"How is the situation in the city? Have you found anyone suspicious?" After a pause to calm down, the viscount asked the butler beside him.
"My lord, wait a moment, someone has already contacted you just now." The butler bent over and replied.
"Okay, I'll wait a little longer." He closed his eyes and leaned on the throne behind him, and the hall fell into silence.
A few minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, followed by the sound of nail plates colliding.
Viscount Morrow opened his eyes, and a guard who came hurriedly reported.
"He's caught, my lord." He reported panting, and behind him came several investigators in black cloaks and black armor.
"Sir Viscount Mo Ruo, I found some traces." The searcher immediately stepped aside and asked someone to push a distressed adventurer forward. There were still some bloodstains and tears on his clothes. It's been a battle.
"What about things?" Viscount Mo Ruo didn't care about people's problems, he just wanted to get back that precious magical creation.
"He admitted that he stole the item, but hid it elsewhere." The investigator said the answer he had just received during the interrogation.
"That's right." The adventurer spat, then raised his head and looked at the little old man in front of him.
"You must guarantee my life before I will tell you where I hide."
Hearing this answer, Mo Ruo's face was cold, he did not speak, and stared coldly at the shabby-clothed adventurer.
"You are not an ordinary person."
After a while, Viscount Moruo spoke in a low voice.
"I'm familiar with you guys. If you are an ordinary adventurer, you will never do such a risky thing, and you will not know the situation in the castle."
"You should be a thief or assassin trained by a certain organization to have such courage." Viscount Moruo is not a vase noble who enjoys pleasure, he understands the lower classes of these empires.
"Let me think about it, in Longyi Province, there are not many organizations with such intelligence capabilities."
"Except for some profitable and timid chambers of commerce, that is, you poisonous snakes in the forest can be so sharp."
Compared to before, Viscount Moruo will calm down now. He leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his hands in front of him, raised and lowered them from time to time, analyzing and thinking calmly.
"'Blindfolded', 'Blindfolded Man' or 'Fire-Eyed Warbler'? Other small organizations can't afford to support a player like you." He said a few names, and then asked his weapon to be checked and belongings.
Several guards held the adventurer down, and then kept searching, placing things neatly on the ground, including small hooks, ropes, flints, daggers in boots, small magic crystals, playing sounds Small alchemical artifacts, whistles, coins, chalk, knife, wound powder, mosquito repellent, clean gauze.
After searching for things, Viscount Mo Ruo slowly glanced over, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"It seems that you are not a poisonous lizard. You didn't carry any poison on your body, and you didn't commit suicide. Although I can't guess the remaining two, they are easy to deal with."
"Come here, cut off his hands and send them to the two organizations separately, and let them come forward to clarify, otherwise, you will see his body hanging on the city gate in a week." Viscount Moruo Part of his face was covered by the shadow of his fingers, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In this era, although disability is not incurable, but because it requires people with Angel Sequence 7 or above to take action, and such noble people are basically not accessible to lower-level organizations. In this way, this person's life is useless, but compared to his dead companions, or a little luckier?
"Ah, no!" After hearing such an order, the held adventurer struggled violently, but the guards beside him held him tightly, preventing him from struggling.
Afterwards, two axes sounded, and there was a hoarse scream in the hall, and then fell silent again.
Looking at the man who collapsed on the ground, Viscount Moruo ordered him to be taken down.
"Let the priest in the city give him a simple treatment, so he won't die soon."
"Yes, my lord." The guard answered with cupped fists, and then dragged the man down.
After dealing with it, Viscount Mo Ruo felt a little relieved, but he was a little irritable when he thought that the things hadn't returned to his hands.
"Any other findings? Investigator Pansy." He looked at the veteran soldier in the hall.
This capable soldier watched all this with cold eyes, and did not speak until then. "Not yet, but I want my lord to seal the city for a few more days, maybe I can get new clues."
"Of course, even if you don't mention it, I will continue to seal the city." Viscount Mo Ruo nodded and asked the butler beside him to give instructions.
Then he looked at the blood on the ground, stood up and prepared to go back to rest.
"Lord Mo Ruo." The investigator called to stop the Viscount.
"What is it?"
"Can you briefly say, is there any key treasure lost?"
"This is a secret of our family, so please don't inquire about it, Mr. Investigator. Perhaps, you should pay attention to another aspect, such as those bugs that ignite the fire, or the descendants of the red dragon."
After speaking, he turned and left, taking away the guards in the hall behind him.
"Don't you want to say it..." Looking at the back that gradually disappeared into the shadows, the investigator slowly savored it, and it took a long time before he left here with his men.
As Viscount Morrow said, they should really focus on those bugs. Although the swarming of nobles among the nobles may seem unpleasant, compared to the rebellions they caused, such things are nothing more than trivial matters.
Not long after the beginning of the year, riots broke out in Zishan Province, and uprisings also emerged in several surrounding provinces. The nobles of the local fiefs carried out difficult suppression before they could barely suppress the flames of these uprisings. Not long after that, the descendants of the red dragon in the southern border also set off rebellions, big and small. Among them, the so-called descendants of the Baska family were real and fake, which made people angry.
Because of this, for the sake of stability in the south, the regent asked the military to set up a search agency. Several powerful and professional search teams patrolled the empire to catch possible Martians, and they were one of them.
——————
On the other side of the city, the turmoil of the search gradually calmed down, and the sky became bright again.
"Is Miss Mecia here?" Lorraine Hill who got up early. I heard Miss Charlene looking for her voice.
"Yes." She bit her headband, looked at the vanity mirror, quickly tied the hair at the back of her head, tied it, and then walked out the door.
Miss Charlene is still dressed in the old days, with a woven waistcoat over her shoulders and a dark dress on her body. She maintains a low profile while being decent.
Miss Charlene looked at Lorraine Hill, the blond swordsman lady was still so cute, "Did you rest last night?"
"It's okay."
"That's good." Miss Charlene pressed her forehead lightly with her fingers.
"It is estimated that there will be a lot of things recently. How about going to have breakfast together, and I will talk to you."
"Yeah." Then the two walked downstairs.
Come to a place in the yard, the members of the caravan have already prepared breakfast, Charlene asked to bring two.
Eating the bread briefly, Miss Charlene began to tell about what she saw and heard last night.
"In the beginning, I was also called by Viscount Moruo to check some things. After all, it is our chamber of commerce that has been in and out of the castle more recently."
"Fortunately, Viscount Moruo didn't doubt us very much, and soon paid attention to other things."
"Kevin is in a bad situation this time. He will probably be punished and locked up for a period of time. But in my opinion, there is no need to worry too much. After all, he is also an old man of the Moruo family. He has served the Moruo family since his grandparents."
"Although Viscount Moruo is very angry now, he will not kill him because of it."
"But other people may not be so simple. When I stayed there yesterday, I saw an adventurer who was captured. He seems to be from a certain organization..." Miss Charlene said with lingering fear Looking at the situation last night.
"These nobles, don't look at them on weekdays, but if you really offend them, it will be barbaric and bloody."
"The recent closure of the city will last for a period of time. If possible, Mesia should not run around and stay here to avoid attracting attention."
"Thank you, Miss Charlene." Lorraine Hill expressed his thanks, then hesitated for a while before asking.
"Why does Miss Charlene take care of me so much~IndoMTL.com~ In fact, they haven't known each other for a long time.
Miss Charlene blinked after listening, looked at Lorraine Hill and laughed again.
"Why? Because I'm a businessman."
"Mesia is very unconscious about certain things. How many geniuses do you think can reach Sequence 5 before the age of 20 in the southern border?"
"A genius like you, in a few years, I'm afraid you will become a big man who I can't reach. And you are so beautiful, maybe one day you will be spotted by a prince and become the head of a certain family. Mistress."
"So, it's natural to establish a good relationship now." Miss Charlene smiled frankly. These days, she has gradually understood the character of this Messiah. If she uses other sweet words to fool her, she will probably only Defile this flawless gem.
"Maybe one day in the future, you will become the backer of a weak girl like me." After speaking, Miss Charlene pressed her chest lightly with her fingers, expressing her pity and cowardice. But such behavior is really not convincing.
