Playing with the small work with one hand, Ronald's thoughts gradually drifted away.
I am completely different from these ordinary passengers.
Their origins are clear, and there is nothing suspicious about their identity and behavior.
For them, the forced train stop this time will only become a topic of conversation in future social interactions, or just a novel experience.
But Ronald is different.
He comes from a remote and backward mountainous area, and his family has fallen into such decline that he cannot afford to hire many cheap servants. It looks like he is just a disguised identity.
Not to mention that because of the previous trip to Montenegro, I had put on a set of clothes that didn't fit well, and almost all the details were suspicious.
"Tsk——"
To be honest, Ronald was a little helpless.
If he is a little more crazy, he can now expand the scope of the crime of 'rape' and squander the power brought by the original scripture without restraint. In this way, it will be easy to get rid of the current trouble.
But unfortunately, Ronald will not do this.
The bottom line of a human being is indestructible. If you have power, you will unscrupulously put your desires above the pain of others. This kind of behavior is simply...
——Disgusting.
"So what should we do..."
With a sad look on his face, Ronald even gave up sitting this time and simply lay down on the chair.
His hands were crossed and he was holding his head, and his legs were restlessly raised.
As if lying in his bedroom in his living room, Ronald stared blankly at the roof of the car.
...
Forget it, I choose to give up——
Simply break the jar and throw it away.
forget about it!
Anyway, it's a matter involving the military.
According to my previous observations, the middle-aged soldier, or officer, does not look like a guy who is used to wronging others.
After all, he said that he had not committed any crime, and the worst he could do was to be detained for a period of time.
Damn it, he also has the identity of a Grid nobleman to help him.
I haven’t had any leisure time since I traveled through time.
Let's relax sometimes.
————
After Ronald lay down, the train continued to stop for about three hours.
As the prosecutors left, although people's hearts were still agitated, the commotion caused by this search in this carriage gradually died down.
At least for ordinary passengers on the bus, that's what happened.
The sky outside has turned completely dark.
It's late at night now.
Ronald, who was lying on the chair, opened the car window and quietly sniffed the cold wind on the chair.
Under the dark night sky, the cold air was somewhat unexpected.
I heard before that Burrenwich is a large city in Grid and one of the largest urban settlements in the world.
Against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution, Ronald was prepared to accept severely polluted air.
What about the facts?
——Not the same as before.
As we were already close to Burrenwich, the air blowing from the window was only dull, far less dirty than imagined, and we could even see stars in the sky.
"It seems that living in Burrenwich is not a wrong decision."
"At least industrial pollution is not that serious."
You must know that on Earth, London, which was once heavily polluted by industrialization, had a serious impact area of more than 50 kilometers.
I can still smell fresh air from my current location, and the environment in the residential area of Burrenwich is basically not too bad.
If you have time to spare, you can even plant some flowers and plants by yourself after settling down.
By the way, learn about the status of plants in this world.
Mumbling messy thoughts in his mouth, the train under Ronald remained motionless.
"Someone passed by..."
"Is that Mr. Swift?"
"You can't be mistaken!"
"Isn't he in Burrenwich? How could he be on the train?"
"..."
Suddenly, the sound of discussions among people in other boxes came from the window.
This also cheered up the cranky Ronald.
He stood up from the chair and leaned his head against the window to watch.
The sound came from a car quite far away, so the guy who made them exclaim should be close to them now...
Bang bang bang——
At the moment when Ronald made a judgment in his mind, there was a rapid knock on the door of the box.
Immediately, the box door was violently opened from the outside.
Accompanied by a young guard on the side, a middle-aged man wearing a tan coat and a pince-nez hanging on his chest walked in.
Looking at Ronald sitting by the window, he asked quickly:
"Are you Ronald Adler?"
"Exactly."
"A nobleman from Joize?"
"That's right."
"Where were you between seven and nine this morning?"
"Sleeping in the carriage."
"you......"
"Just wait!"
Just when the man was about to continue, Ronald interrupted him.
"I would like to state in advance that what happened on the train has nothing to do with me."
"Don't talk to me like you're interrogating a criminal!"
Regarding the new guy, Ronald's brain, which had only rested for three hours, was reminding him.
——This is a big trouble!
A series of high-speed questions and answers not only emphasize the primary and secondary relationship between the two people, but also control the right to speak.
It is also because the other party hopes to use intensive questions to force himself to reveal his flaws.
He was different from the officer at night.
The man in a tan coat at this moment is definitely a negotiation expert or a criminal investigation-related worker.
Don’t be careless!
Sure enough, after Ronald interrupted himself.
The man's eyes immediately became sharper, and at the same time, there was no longer the burning look before.
Looking at Ronald intently, the guy reached into his coat pocket and took out a pipe, lit it, put it in his mouth and started smoking.
"Okay, Mr. Ronald."
"Then let me introduce myself first."
"I'm Swift Lewis, a professional detective from Burrenwich."
"I came here to solve what happened in the car."
"Now, I hope you can answer a few questions for me."
As expected, Ronald guessed correctly.
This guy is a detective.
Looking at Swift's classic style and hearing this rigorous inquiry, he even felt as if he had traveled back in time to a detective and was being targeted by a famous detective.
"well--"
Sighing, Ronald straightened his sitting posture and responded to the other party seriously:
"Please ask."
"As long as it doesn't cause me unnecessary trouble, I will answer all your relevant questions."
"very good."
Seeing Ronald's posture, Swift also realized that the man in front of her was not simple.
Regarding such inquiries, he simply said:
"Then the first question is, your clothes obviously don't fit. Why is that?"
"This is what I was wearing before I got on the train."
Swift's first question hit the spot.
After all, the clothes he changed on Black Mountain were not his own.
In front of careful people, the clues will inevitably be seen.
In this case, the detective's habitual thinking will consider whether it was changed in a hurry to cover up traces after committing the crime.
Regarding this matter, Ronald had already prepared his explanation.
While responding, he also showed the other party the traces left by his clothes in the wild:
"Look at this place. It was made in the Yuez Forest before. You should be able to tell when it was made, right?"
