Chapter 862: Chapter 695, there is a problem Chapter 862: Chapter 695, there is a problem After lunch,
The rest began to work on the case, and Wu Heng left the association to head for the fleet’s location.
Along the way, Xiao Xiao, invisible, lay on his shoulder and asked, “Uncle, is the case closed?”
“We’ve started to organize the clues, so we’re acknowledging this conclusion.”
“Aren’t you afraid of catching the wrong person?” Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
“There are no other clues in the city, and this is the only one. Even if there are loopholes, as long as it can clarify the case, we must close it,” Wu Heng explained softly.
“They’re not here to investigate; they’re here to earn rits.”
“Yes, most are here to earn rits.”
Upon reaching the port, Wu Heng boarded the ship directly.
“How was it? Any progress today?” Philippa approached from one side.
The Fifth Princess and her maid also followed behind.
Wu Heng said, “We found out, a gang leader, forrly a pirate, was discovered by the association’s steward. He killed soone directly, and then there was a battle with the city’s army, and the matter was covered up.”
Hearing this news, the three were startled.
“You see, I told you it had nothing to do with Netalee City, Philippa, you lose,” the Fifth Princess said sowhat excitedly.
Philippa frowned, “Did you catch that leader? Did he confess?”
“The man died in battle half a month ago, and the clue, a letter left by the Secret Speaker,” Wu Heng explained.
Philippa’s expression changed, seeking confirmation, “Was it he who killed?”
“No new clues, the Elder has determined that it was him,” Wu Heng answered.
“I know Daxier; he’s not a pirate and wouldn’t do such a foolish thing,” The Fifth Princess said, her hands behind her back, chest puffed out a bit.
“What do you an, at least pirates don’t sell out their own people,” Philippa retorted.
“Hmph, you lost this ti, no being a sore loser,” the maid chid in.
“It’s not certain who lost yet,” Philippa looked at Wu Heng, “Why not capture this City Lord and directly question him? I rember the association directly questioned you last ti, even used a Special Item, why is it so troubleso this ti?”
That was last ti, when the Inspector ca to the island to investigate Wu Heng.
At that ti, with no evidence and just based on his identity as a Necromancer, he was directly investigated and even a Special Item was used.
Wu Heng said, “Is this the sa?”
“What’s different, isn’t there two Level 18s in the team? Are you afraid he won’t cooperate?” Philippa asked.
Wu Heng thought for a mont, organizing his language to explain, “It’s different, the Inspector’s investigation of was internal, all within the frawork of the association, this City Lord is from the Yeko Kingdom, you need evidence to act.”
Philippa thought for a mont, “Seems I understand.”
“The association has already been quite forceful.”
“Alright then! What’s next?” Philippa continued to ask.
“The fleet is preparing, we’ll rest another day tomorrow, then return to Gold and Silver Island,” Wu Heng instructed.
Philippa nodded, “Okay, I’ll get ready.”
Wu Heng then said, “I’m heading back now.”
“Okay,” Philippa nodded.
Wu Heng disembarked from the ship, and behind him, the maid’s voice sounded strange, “Princess, what na should the Conch be changed to later?”
On the way, he stopped by a leather goods store, having promised the lady boss to take her away.
Still have to say it in advance.
…
Returned to the association.
Everyone seed much more relaxed, no longer as busy as when investigating the case.
Wu Heng sat down on a resting spot to the side, flipping through the letters that had remained at the association.
They hadn’t been sent out for a long ti, all confiscated here.
Footsteps sounded, and Cavina ca over, “The City Lord ca by when you were not here.”
“What for?” Wu Heng asked curiously.
“He ca to inquire about the several people who were captured, learned that it was confird to be related to the killing of the steward, didn’t say much more,” Cavina narrated, then added, “Oh, he also said he wanted to host a banquet for everyone, but the Elder refused.”
“He must have co to fish for information.”
“Yes, we stay in the city, and he seems more nervous than the murderer.”
“Indeed.”
As they talked, mbers of Cavina’s squad ca from behind.
“I’ll be busy now,” Cavina also got up.
“Go ahead,” Wu Heng nodded.
Cavina left, and Wu Heng returned to his own dormitory.
…
Night fell, in the bedroom.
Xiao Xiao peeked out from the wall, “Uncle, I called them back.”
As they spoke, Glenda and Bella flew in, one after the other.
“What’s wrong?” Glenda asked.
Wu Heng closed the map in his hand, “Is there any problem with those two?”
Glenda was keeping an eye on the Commander of the Level 18 army, while Bella was responsible for watching the City Lord’s Mansion.
Both had a clear division of labor.
Glenda said, “After I went there, I kept an eye on his movents. They definitely arranged for soone to watch our side continuously, updates about our actions kept coming, but there were no ssages about assassinating the steward or any other out-of-line actions.”
“Bella, what about your side?”
Bella also spoke, “Nothing was discovered on the City Lord’s Mansion side, although so letters were written to the outside, but they must have used so item, I couldn’t see the contents, the letters were sent out of the city.”
Wu Heng nodded and also said, “This morning, we found the wife of the Secret Speaker and based on her clues, located the left-behind letter, leading us to the Double Dragon Gang.”
“Is the case closed?”
With no new intelligence appearing, “Tomorrow we will handle the White Wings Gang’s issue, then return to Gold and Silver Island, and the rest will return to the association headquarters,” Wu Heng said.
The two ghosts were sowhat surprised.
“How did you tie the knot?” Glenda asked.
“Auntie, I know, I’ll tell you,” Xiao Xiao raised her hand on the side.
Glenda nodded, “Okay, Xiao Xiao, tell us.”
Xiao Xiao flew to one side and narrated everything that had happened today.
Unlike the participants, Xiao Xiao had a completely bystander’s perspective on the entire case, and spoke with great detail.
After listening, two ghosts also nodded.
Xiao Xiao then said, “Auntie, can you add to your new story? I want to be a big star too.”
Glenda replied, “The whole case just happened in two days, and it’s not very story-like, so it might not be suitable to be turned into a story.”
“Oh? Is it because it happened too quickly?”
“It lacks narrative appeal.”
Wu Heng quickly tidied up, “I’m going to rest, don’t go too far.”
The three ghosts nodded.
Wu Heng then went to bed to rest.
…
The next day, early morning.
The association’s underground autopsy room.
Wu Heng stood on one side, with the rest of the association’s mbers behind him.
“Wu Heng, take out the bodies quickly, let’s process them so we can go back and report,” Tapani said.
Wu Heng took out two bodies wrapped in straw mats from the Space Ring.
These two bodies, both mbers of the White Wings Gang killed at sea, were thought to be useful at the ti, so they were not turned into skeletons but preserved.
“Communicate with the dead” was released, and the bodies instantly sat up.
Wu Heng asked, “What Level is your leader?”
“Level 13.”
“Do you hold any important positions in the army?”
The body answered, “Mainly responsible for so transportation scheduling in the city.”
Wu Heng continued to ask, “What does he look like? Any distinguishing features?”
“Very burly, no earlobe on the left ear.”
Wu Heng continued, “Where can we find him?”
The body directly answered, “There is a dispatch hall in the north of the city, he is always staying there.”
Four questions were asked in total.
An Elder spoke directly, “No need to ask further, Wu Heng, let your ghosts go check out that dispatch hall; the rest wait for news, once the target is found, capture him first, we’ll talk about the rest later.”
“Okay!” Wu Heng nodded.
The magic dissipated, and the questioned body laid back down.
Everyone left the basent and gathered in the main hall on the first floor.
Wu Heng then walked aside and whispered a few instructions.
He sent the ghosts out to scout.
…
The ghosts went out to investigate.
The rest waited inside the association’s building.
The city also monitored every move of the association, ready to capture the target as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, it might give the other side ti to react.
With regard to the White Wings Gang Leader, Elder Tapani was even more adamant.
Capture him first, discuss everything else after securing him.
“That Secret Speaker’s wife left this morning,” Gianvito ca over and said.
“She left?” Wu Heng turned around, curious, “Where could she go at this ti?”
“Last night, she requested to leave with Tapani, said her family ca to pick her up, and taking advantage of the association’s presence here, she planned to leave the city first,” Gianvito whispered.
“Don’t we need to bring her back to headquarters?”
“After all, she’s not a criminal, and she played a role in providing clues in the case; we just recorded it, and since she was all tears, we let her leave,” Gianvito said.
“Did we give her the condolence money?”
“Could we shortchange her? Tapani gave it, as an Elder he definitely wouldn’t give less.”
As if overhearing their conversation, Elder Tapani nearby turned his head and looked over.
He walked over with a straight posture, “What are you talking about?”
The elf race, from appearances and forms, truly are a favored race.
Still young, and also very tall and slender.
“Just talking about that woman leaving this morning.” Gianvito said.
Tapani nodded, “It’s good she left on her own, her mood didn’t seem very stable.”
The three chatted together for a while.
The ghosts sent out to scout flew back.
“I’ll go over there,” Wu Heng said, moving to a more secluded spot, “What’s up? Did you find the target?”
Xiao Xiao lowered his voice, “Found him, and there’s another person, he looks so familiar.”
“Who?”
“Take a look, he’s the one who was talking to that idiotic leader,” Xiao Xiao said and then directly entered his body.
Following that, a vision was shared into Wu Heng’s mind.
In the dim room, two figures sat.
One person was burly, wearing commander attire, with a crew cut and a damaged left ear with no earlobe.
Opposite him sat an old man, very upright, continuously drinking tea.
Wu Heng’s mind stirred.
Snake Badge Consortium, the receptionist elder he had exchanged promissory notes for a brocade box with.
