Act 254: The riot between the Gears and the Magic Book(2/2)
However, the old man did not express his emotions on his face at all, but instead asked timidly: "So, sir, can you describe to me what this suspect looks like? I may help me recall whether the other party was in the hotel."
"No need," replied the windbreaker, "we are going to search this place, but the prophet will tell you."
"But," Pushe hesitated a little, "other guests..."
"I guess other guests won't have any objection," the man in the windbreaker interrupted him, and finally became a little impatient. "Mr. Pushe, you should know that we don't actually need your consent."
"I see."
The old businessman understood that he was unable to resist these people. Behind the other party was not only a patrol team, but also a cunning oar of the empire. He could only watch the man wave his hand and the guards behind him rushed in and rushed into the hotel.
But the other party seemed to be in a hurry, standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking around at the surrounding environment. He took out his pocket watch, popped open the cover, looked at the time on it, and then put it away again.
Pushe said nothing, silently listening to the sound of chaotic sounds, the cry of the children, and the scolding of the guards in the hotel behind him. But this man was not wrong. How could the people living in this place have the potential to offend the cunning family?
Most guests didn't even dare to stand up in front of the guards of the patrol team. How could a truly rich and qualified person settle in the old city?
While the two were silent, suddenly a sound of something falling from the upper floor came, mixed with the screams of girls.
Pusher was shocked when he heard the voice. He clearly heard it was Leila's voice, but didn't he ask Matri to inform the girl to avoid it? What exactly did that guy Matri do?
He was worried and couldn't help looking at the man in the windbreaker ahead. But the other party seemed to have no intention of stopping him. Pushe quickly claimed the crime, and then hurriedly left the front desk and headed upstairs.
When the man saw him leave, he looked around and then followed him upstairs.
The two of them went to the aisle on the third floor. Pushe saw Laila kneeling on the ground, her face covered in purple, holding her face in her hands, trembling.
The girl looked at everyone with a pale face, crying, and Matri, who was angry, was blocking her and the guards.
However, the guards did not make things difficult for the two of them anymore, but guarded the entrance to the attic above the third floor.
"What's going on?" Before Pushe could speak, the man in the windbreaker behind him spoke first.
The guard looked at the two and replied, "There is something in the attic above."
The man in the windbreaker looked at Leila who was lying on the ground. "Is this?" he asked Pushe.
The old businessman glanced at Leila with concern.
Seeing that although the other party was very frightened, it was not serious, I felt relieved.
He quickly explained: "She is just a poor student who came to Aiyin Bullock to study. Because I didn't have much money, I let her live in the attic. She is now a student at the Magic Academy and has lived here for a long time. She should not be the one you are looking for."
The man in the windbreaker did not comment and just sneered, "You can do business."
He looked at his guards and asked, "What was found in the attic?"
"It's this, sir." The guards presented a box.
The man in the windbreaker took it and opened it, and took out a compass-like thing from it. It was a very delicate thing. The glass cover was covered with various gears and clockwork devices.
He raised the thing, squinted his eyes and asked Laila, "Is this yours?"
Leila looked pale and looked a little panicked, looking at them blankly, "That's my father's thing, please... please return it to me..."
The man in the windbreaker turned the compass over, saw the emblem on it, and asked Pushe on the side, "Do you know this emblem?"
Pushe's heart trembled.
He naturally recognized that it was the family emblem of the Linen family.
But the man in the windbreaker sneered disdainfully and threw the thing back like a piece of shabby.
The compass landed on the ground, rolled around, and then rolled back to Laila.
"A trick to fool people." The man in the windbreaker looked at Laila, "I heard that you are a student of the Magic Academy now. I advise you to abandon these unrealistic things as soon as possible. The magic technique of the Lynn family...just rely on this thing? Haha, ridiculous..."
Leila didn't dare to see him, so she just trembled silently and picked up the compass and hugged it tightly in her arms.
The man in the windbreaker stopped saying anything when he saw her like this.
He whispered to the guards for a few words, and the guards shook their heads one after another. The man in the windbreaker also frowned, and then whispered: "Take the man away, and then take the team away."
He turned around, looked at Pushe, and warned:
"Stop talking about what happened today."
Pusher was shocked: "Sir, Laila..."
"She's called Laila?" the man in the windbreaker asked, "Very good, she's the one we're looking for."
Pushe had already seen at this time that the other party was not coming for some suspect, but he wanted to refute it, but he was unable to stop it.
The old man could only watch the guards dragged away the rebellious Matri. Then they rudely raised Laila from left to right. As they struggled, the little girl's glasses also rolled to the ground.
She felt panicked and quickly reached out to grab it.
But the guards stepped on it when they were not careful, and they stepped on it to pieces.
"No, my glasses-!"
Leila exclaimed, her voice full of panic.
Pushe couldn't bear to see it, so he could only turn it over.
The man in the windbreaker looked at him, then waved his hand with satisfaction and led a group of guards to carry the trembling girl downstairs.
