“Are you saying that this man could be the serial killer?” Brandli asked. “But why is it a level 4 incident?”
“One night three years ago, this serial killer killed a 4th-tier knight who had just got promoted from an assistant knight test examiner to a lead examiner. Then he murdered his wife and two kids,” Barzel said through gritted teeth.
Devoe stared at Gabriel’s body in horror. This man may prove to be my undoing. If the Gray Temple investigated , what they may find out could earn a lifeti in prison.
Goodenia staggered back with terror. He was aware that nobody involved in a level 4 incident could walk away easily.
“Take the body back,” Brandli said grimly. “And lock these three in Bastie Prison. Interrogate them.”
“Yes, my lord,” said the patrol n. They quickly tied them up with ropes.
By then, six riders from the police departnt had arrived. They dismounted, and their leader walked up to Brandli hurriedly. “Lord Brandli, we heard there is a level 3 incident—”
“You guys are right on ti,” Brandli interrupted. “Take this body back and have the coroner examine him. He’s the suspect involved in a level 4 incident.”
The man froze for an instant, but understood right away when he saw the black iron cross. “Yes, my lord!” He had his n bring a stretcher from the back of a horse, cover the body with a white sheet, and lift it up onto the stretcher.
“We’re innocent, my lords! The iron cross belongs to the owner of the restaurant. He set us up!” Devoe scread as he got dragged up.
Barzel walked over to him with a darkened face and kicked him in the belly. Devoe held his stomach and crouched down in pain.
“Shut them up, Bob,” Barzel said coldly.
“Yes, Boss,” Bob answered. It was the first ti he had seen his boss so angry. He waved his wand and uttered so spells; then, the two thugs’ mouths got covered by so green mud.
Goodenia struggled and glanced back at Mag, who was standing at his door; he suddenly found himself regretting having ssed with him.
“Move it!” Monkey roared, jabbing Goodenia in the face with his elbow.
“Why is the boss so angry today, Monkey?” Bob asked.
“That examiner was his best friend; they drank together that night,” Monkey said in a low voice. “Do not ever bring this up before the boss,” he warned.
Bob nodded, and said not another word.
“Thank you for apprehending these thugs. If he is really the serial killer, we’ll give you the reward,” Brandli said to Mag.
Mag was very surprised by this turn of events. “Thank you. It’s my pleasure.”
Mag had thought he had gone too far, but after hearing what Barzel said, the self-reproach he felt after he’d killed Gabriel was totally gone.
“Thanks to you, my friend and his family can rest in peace now,” Barzel said to Mag, holding out his hand. “I’m Barzel. We should have a drink soday.”
Mag shook his hand. “I don’t drink anymore. But, you’re always welco here.”
“I told you Amy’s always right. She knows which person deserves to die,” Krassu said to Brandli, smiling a proud smile.
“She should have killed them all,” said Urien.
“You’re both right, my lords. If you’ll excuse , I must go back to the Gray Temple,” Brandli said with a smile. “Tell the little owner I said thank you, Mag.”
“I don’t know why you’re thanking , but you’re welco,” Amy called out from the restaurant.
Mag turned around and saw Amy eating dried fish with the kitten in one arm. When she raised her head and t Mag’s eyes, she froze for an instant, and then gave the fish to the aggrieved kitten.
Mag smiled. “He’s thanking you for catching a bad guy.” I shouldn’t have let her feed the cat.
Amy’s eyes brightened. “Really?”
Brandli nodded with a smile. “Yes. You’re a little hero.” He nodded at Mag and left with Barzel.
“What’s slling so good, Mag? I haven’t had any lunch yet. Can you make so new dish for ?” Krassu asked.
