She Is Not a Witch Chapter 101: Hunting and interrogation
In the night, a figure is running fast in the streets.
In the early hours of the night, this hasty and rapid footsteps were particularly noticeable. When some guards patrolling the intersection of the street heard it, they immediately shouted together.
"You! Stop, what are you doing, if you run again, you will kill it." The voice was eager and fast.
Hearing the yelling sound behind him, the adventurer in hunting outfit stopped and ran faster instead.
He flexibly jumped up to the low wall on the side, and then approached the wall, ready to find a gap and force a breakthrough.
Although Viscount Mo Ruo is a real nobleman, he does not raise too many guards. Although there are people on the walls, they are scattered, with only two or three people per 100 meters.
"Grab him!" Seeing the figure leaping up the city wall, anxious shouts came from the street, and the people on duty on the city wall responded and began to gather here.
The iron lock jacket and armor pieces rubbed against each other during the run, and some guards began to take out their portable crossbows and aimed at the figure that was constantly jumping and running in the dark.
Swish——
Several bow sounds, the arrow cut through the air and shot in the past. The tip of the arrow shone with a little blue light, like a reflective glass, which suddenly sank into the right chest of the adventurer, making him groan. , And then fell down.
"Chasing!"
Several sergeants in black picked up speed again, leaped over a long arc, and rushed towards the place where the figure fell.
"Yeah!" 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, like electricity, faced the black-clothed sergeants who were pursuing him. Demon sequences have always been so dangerous, both for people and for themselves.
Clang clang clang----
There was a fierce collision in the alley, sparks flashed in the dark, followed by a few hurtful grunts.
'Cut and Kill Array! In the moment of a brief stalemate, another man in black rushed at the entrance of the alley, with epaulettes on his body, and he seemed to be an officer.
Under the command of this newly joined officer, several sergeants who were hunting down immediately changed their bodies, and the sabers of several people showed pale magic at the same time, twisting the space, and then cutting them down in an extremely high-speed manner. , Divide this narrow space into several areas.
Blood splashed abruptly, wet the walls and the ground, and the adventurer who had resisted fell down with a startled look. There were several open wounds on his body, sharp and neat.
A sergeant stepped forward and checked the body again before turning around.
"My lord, he is dead." In fact, this sergeant is a little confused. According to the form just now, it is obvious that he can catch alive, but why suddenly use the combined combat technique of'cutting and killing array' , Killed the sinner on the spot.
"Hmm." The young officer looked at it before giving an explanation.
"We have caught the other one, this one is not needed anymore."
Then the night in the small town became calm again, and the streets became quieter and quieter, and no one dared to show up and run around at will. Even those restless little **** know that now is a very time, if one can't handle it, they will die.
In the castle, the lights were brightly lit. Viscount Moruo was sitting in the hall of the lord, surrounded by two rows of fully armored guards. These people are the direct relatives of their family, and only under the protection of these sequence three guards, Viscount Moruo In order to get a little sense of security.
In addition to Viscount Moruo, there are several other people in the hall now, one is Miss Charlene from the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce, one is an official from the Imperial Army, and there is Kevin who is kneeling in the middle of the hall.
The original captain of the guard was tied with a rope at the moment, and there were still traces of the whipping on his body. The red scars, some of them split directly, and there were still dark red scars of bruising.
"Useless things!" Viscount Moruo firmly gathered the wine glass in his hand with his hands, wishing to crush it.
After a while, he calmed down a bit and drank the dark red and transparent wine.
"Is this the way you give back? Captain Kevin Guard! With so many men and such tight protection, people have stolen things, it is hard not to doubt whether you are colluding with outsiders?"
Viscount Mo Ruo sat on the high throne, looking down at the negligent captain of the guard Kevin.
"I.... I'm sorry." Kevin lowered his head and panted, huskily replied, and then his head lowered.
"Huh!"
Viscount Mo Ruo looked at this familiar face with a poisonous fire in his heart. Thanks to his trust in this subordinate, the thief stole such a crucial thing.
Moreover, what made him more anxious and uncomfortable was that the imperial army's investigators were now in the city. These people directly took orders from the royal family and were not easy to get along with.
If one is not good, the existence of the ruins will be exposed, and by then it will not be possible for ordinary nobles like him to get involved.
Think of this, he thinks
The fire in my heart has grown a lot.
"What's the situation in the city? Have you found any suspicious people?" After a pause, the mood was calmed, and the viscount asked the housekeeper on the side.
"My lord, wait a minute, someone has already been contacted." The butler stooped to answer.
"Well, I'll wait a little longer." He closed his eyes and leaned on the throne behind him, and the hall fell silent.
A few minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, and then there was the sound of a few nails colliding.
Viscount Mo Ruo opened his eyes, and a guard came in a hurry to report.
"The man caught it, my lord." He gasped and reported, and several investigators in black cloaks and black armor came behind him.
"Master Viscount Moruo, I found some traces." The investigator then stepped aside and let someone push an embarrassed adventurer forward. There were still some blood stains and tears on his clothes. Look. It was after a battle.
"What about things?" Viscount Moruo didn't care about people's problems, he only had to take back that precious magical creation.
"He admitted that he stole the thing, but hid it somewhere else." The search officer said the answer he had just received in the interrogation.
"Yes." The adventurer spit, then raised his head to look at the little old man in front of him.
"You must guarantee my life before I will tell you where I am hiding."
Hearing such an 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 long while, Viscount Moruo said in a low voice.
"I am familiar with you guys. If you are an ordinary adventurer, you would never do this kind of extremely risky thing, and you would not know the situation in the castle."
"You should be a thief or an assassin cultivated by a certain organization, so you have such courage." Viscount Mo Ruo is not one of those pleasure vase nobles, he knows the lower classes of these empires.
"Let me think about it, in Long Wing Province, there are not many organizations with such intelligence capabilities."
"Except for some profitable and timid chambers of commerce, that is, you snakes in the woods can be so sharp."
Compared to before, Viscount Moruo would calm down instead. He leaned on the back of his chair, crossed his hands in front of him, raised and pressed them from time to time, analyzing and thinking calmly.
"'Poisonous lizard','blindfolded' or'fire-eyed warbler'? Other small organizations can't support a good hand like you." He said a few names, and then asked him to check his weapons And belongings.
Several guards held down the adventurer, and then searched and pulled them all the time, placing everything neatly on the ground, including small hooks, ropes, flints, daggers in boots, small magic spars, and playing sounds Of small alchemical creations, whistles, coins, chalk, knives, wound medicine powder, mosquito repellent spices, clean gauze.
After searching things, Viscount Mo Ruo's gaze slowly swept over, and then he slowly spoke.
"It seems that you are not a ‘poison lizard’. You didn’t have poison on your body and you did not commit suicide. Although I can’t guess the remaining two, they are easy to deal with."
"Come here, cut off his hands and give them to these two organizations separately, so that they can come forward to clarify, otherwise, you will see his body hanging from the gate of the city in a week." Viscount Mo Ruo The part of his face was hidden by the shadow of his fingers, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In this era, although disability is not incurable, it is because it requires people with Angel Sequence 7 and above to take action, and such noble people are basically not accessible to the underlying organizations. In this way, this person's life is considered a waste, but compared to his dead companion, or a little luckier?
"Ah, no!" After hearing such an order, the held adventurer struggled violently, but the guards beside him held him firmly to prevent him from struggling.
After that, two axe sounds sounded, a hoarse scream sounded in the hall, and then it fell silent again.
Looking at the man who collapsed on the ground, Viscount Moruo asked him to be taken away.
"Let the priest in the city give him a simple treatment, don't die soon."
"Yes, my lord." The guard replied with a fist, and then dragged the man down.
After processing, Viscount Moruo's mood eased a little, but he felt a little irritable when he thought that things hadn't returned to his hands.
"Any other findings? Investigator Pansy." He looked at the experienced soldier in the lobby.
The capable soldier watched all this with cold eyes, and didn't speak until then. "Not yet, but I want the adults to seal the city for a few more days, maybe I can get new clues."
"Naturally, even if you don't mention it, I will continue to lock down the city." Viscount Mo Ruo nodded and asked the steward on the side to order the matter.
Then he looked at the blood on the ground and stood up to go back to rest.
"Master Moruo." The investigator called to the viscount.
"What's the matter?"
"Can you say something briefly, is there any key treasure lost?"
"This is the secret of our family, so please don't inquire about it, the investigator. Perhaps, you should focus on another aspect, such as the bugs that set fire to the fire, or the descendants of the red dragon."
After speaking, he turned and left, taking away a group of guards in the hall behind him.
"Don't you want to say..." Seeing the figure gradually disappearing into the shadow, the investigator slowly tasted it, and it took a long time to leave here with his men.
Like Viscount Moruo said, they should really focus on those bugs. Although the fly camp among the nobles looked unprofitable, compared with the rebellions that were set off, this kind of thing was nothing more than a trivial matter.
Not long after the beginning of the year, riots broke out in Zishan province, and there were uprisings in several surrounding provinces. The nobles of the local fiefs carried out difficult suppression, and they were able to suppress the flames of these uprisings. Soon afterwards, the descendants of the Red Dragon in the southern border also set off large and small rebellions. Among them, the so-called descendants of the Baska family were true and false, which made people annoyed.
For this reason, for the stability of the South, the Regent specifically asked the military to set up a search agency. Several powerful and professional search teams patrolled the empire to capture the possible sparks, and they were one of them.
——————
On the other side of the city, the storm of the search gradually calmed down, and the sky was bright again.
"Is Miss Messia here?" Lorrain Hill, who had just risen early in the morning. I heard Miss Charlene looking for her voice.
"Yes." She bit her hair band, looked at the vanity mirror, and quickly tied the hair behind her head, then tied it, and then walked out the door.
Ms. Charlene is still dressed as she used to be, with a woven waistcoat on her shoulders and a dark dress. She is decent while keeping a low profile.
Miss Charlene looked at Lorrain Hill. The blond lady swordsman was still so cute. "Will you have a rest last night?"
"It's OK."
"That's good." Miss Charlene tapped her forehead with her finger.
"It is estimated that there will be a lot of things recently. How about going to have breakfast together, I'll talk to you."
"Hmm." Then the two walked downstairs.
When we came to a place in the yard, the members of the caravan were already ready early, and Charlene asked to bring two copies.
Simply eating bread, Miss Charlene began to tell what she had learned last night.
"In the beginning, I was also called by Viscount Mo Ruo to check some conditions. After all, it is our chamber of commerce that has been in and out of the castle more recently."
"But fortunately, Viscount Mo Ruo didn't doubt us much, and soon paid attention to other things."
"Kevin is miserable this time. It is estimated that he will be punished and shut down 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 Mo Ruo family, and his grandfather has served the Mo Ruo family."
"Although Viscount Moruo is very angry now, he will not be killed for it."
"But other people may not be so simple~IndoMTL.com~When I stayed there yesterday, I saw an adventurer who was captured. He seems to be from an organization..." The young lady talked about the situation last night with lingering fears.
"These nobles, don't look at their pleasant appearance, but if they really offend them, they will be brutal and bloody."
"The recent lockdown of the city has to continue for some time. If possible, Messia should not run around, just stay here to avoid attracting attention."
"Thank you Miss Charlene." Lorraine Hill expressed his thanks, and then hesitated for a while before asking.
"Why does Miss Charlene take care of me so much." In fact, they didn't know each other for a long time.
Miss Charlene blinked after listening, looked at Lorrain Hill and laughed again.
"Why? Because I am a businessman."
"Messia is very unconscious about certain things. In the South, how many geniuses do you think can reach Sequence 5 before the age of 20."
"A genius like you, in a few years, I am afraid that he will become a big figure that I can’t climb. And it’s still so beautiful, maybe one day a prince will look at him and become a member of a certain family. Mistress."
"So, naturally, we have to make a good relationship now." Miss Charlene smiled calmly. These days, she has gradually understood the character of this Messia. If she uses other rhetoric to fool, I am afraid it will only Defile this flawless gem.
"Maybe in the future, you will become my supporter for this weak woman." After speaking, Miss Charlene tapped her chest with her fingers, expressing her pity and weakness. But such behavior is really not convincing.
