"In this case, you stay in the Reins Church first, and I will go to the tribunal to explain it to them and ask them to cancel the arrest warrant against you. If what you say is true, you may be rewarded," Roger said.
Ian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to pray for any awards anymore, as long as the wanted order is cancelled."
Roger hummed, took out some food from his arms and handed it to him, and then left. Ian looked at the food in his hand and had no idea that Roger was a considerate person.
…
An hour later, Roger left the tribunal station, and Rex left immediately, leaving only the six tribunal members from Pros.
"Vice Captain, Ian's wanted order will be revoked tomorrow. Should we go back tomorrow?" one of his subordinates asked.
A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth. He stretched out his hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "Of course - no, brothers came all the way from Pulos, how can they go back empty-handed? That's good, I'll give it to you."
Everyone takes a few days off and will go back in three days."
When the subordinates heard what their vice-captain said, they immediately cheered. To be honest, they had traveled a long distance from Prolos to Appleton, and it would be a lie to say they were not tired.
Now that the vice-captain has given everyone a break, how can a group of people be unhappy?
However, some people hesitated, fearing that life would be difficult when they returned, so they asked: "Isn't this good? If the captain knows..."
As soon as someone said this, others also hesitated.
Just as he was wavering, he heard the middle-aged man say: "Who said we were just playing? Aren't we dealing with the follow-up work? Can this case be finalized just based on the priest's dictation? Of course we are in the past few days.
We need to ask the Appleton detachment to verify it for us."
As soon as these words came out, the worries of his subordinates disappeared.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, the captain is thoughtful." Someone immediately flattered him.
…
Soon, four of them went down to rest, leaving only the vice-captain and another chanter.
I saw the deputy captain asking the man: "Bellok, have you found the target?"
The young man named Belloc nodded and replied: "I found it, sir, and I have brought the person to a safe place. The other person's house has also been covered up. No one will find out that they are missing in a short time."
"Well done, Belloc." The vice-captain smiled with satisfaction, "You are indeed the most outstanding disciple of the teacher." He patted the other party's shoulder affectionately and encouraged: "Remember to take the time, the mentors are still there.
Waiting for our news, you are the only one here who can do divination, so thank you for your hard work."
"When we get the news, I believe our mentors will not treat us badly."
Upon hearing this, Bei Luoqi replied excitedly: "I will definitely try my best."
But soon he thought of something, so he asked again: "What about Ian's matter? Is Gary really the spokesperson of God?"
The vice-captain smiled nonchalantly and said: "Ian said it so clearly and drew all the formation patterns of the Temple of Light. Unless Ian is the spokesperson of the gods, there is no doubt that Gary is the spokesperson.
But we don’t have to worry about these trivial matters, we just need to complete the tasks assigned by the teacher, otherwise we won’t get a second chance to come to Appleton.”
When Belloc heard this, he didn't say anything else. He just said: "Time waits for no one. Please cover up the fluctuations in your mental power for me, and I will do the divination."
The vice-captain hummed and followed Belloc from the alley.
The two walked quickly in a certain direction, and soon they entered the vicinity of the Carlos Church and entered the underground from one of the many buildings in the church. Two people were being held in the empty basement.
"Are you sure it's them?" the deputy captain asked.
Belloc nodded and affirmed: "The address was provided by a loyal believer in the church, so there should be no problem. What I'm worried about is that Pastor Condra..."
Before he finished speaking, the vice-captain had already taken over and said, "Worried about him leaking our secrets? Hum, you don't have to worry about that. Although they are not members of the monastery, our goals are the same, and they are not willing to
I saw that thing appearing in the main plane. Okay, let’s start your divination.”
"OK!"
Belloc approached the unconscious man and woman. If Ian were here, he would definitely recognize the woman's identity.
At the same time, a milky white light emitted from the vice-captain's body, covering the small basement to ensure that no fluctuations could be transmitted from inside.
…
After Roger left, the hungry Ian quickly destroyed the food that the other man had taken away, and then he planned to visit the area near the girls' school.
Since Roger went to the tribunal to explain the whole matter, his safety should be safe, but for Jasmine's safety, he still had to keep a certain distance from her.
At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, so he hurriedly hid in the shadows. The footsteps gradually disappeared for a while, but the strange thing was that no one came in, as if someone was circling the church.
Ian waited for a while to make sure no one went out to look, and suddenly found two figures sneaking around the church, but he was sure that these two people were not the owners of the footsteps just now.
"Hello! Miss Pentas, we meet again." Ian jumped out to say hello.
It was okay that he didn't speak, but when he spoke he startled the two of them, and the woman was so frightened that she screamed, and it took a while before she calmed down.
"Marcus, it's you, it really scared me to death."
These two people turned out to be the detective duo Tommy and Pentas. They didn't know what order they took this time, and they wandered around this abandoned church in the middle of the night.
When Pentas saw that it was not a ghost, her heart that was beating out of her chest temporarily returned to her chest, and she said to Ian angrily.
And Tommy also asked: "Mr. Wood, what are you doing here?"
Ian spread his hands and told the truth: "I'm trying to avoid being wanted. What are you two doing here? This is not a good place for a tryst. You are detectives, so be careful. There are cheap hotels in the city."
"Bah, you're here for a tryst." Faced with Ian's teasing, Pentas rarely blushed and spat at him.
Tommy was very familiar with the wanted notices from the police station and did not see the information about Marcus Wood. He thought that Ian was not telling the truth and did not care about his words. He just replied: "We were entrusted by Principal Nancy to help
Investigate the disappearance of her students."
It turned out to be them. Ian perked up and asked, "Have you found any clues?"
Seeing Tommy nod, he suddenly had the idea that it would be easy to get there without any effort, so he continued to ask: "Who were you just tracking?"
Tommy was about to answer when he saw Pentas reaching out to stop him, looking at Ian warily and saying: "Hey, sir, this is our case, don't even think about interfering."
(You’re afraid I’ll share the commission)
Ian cursed and said with some humor: "To tell you the truth, I was also entrusted by Principal Nancy to help her find the missing student. Now that you have clues, why not share them together and solve this case as soon as possible.
"
"So Mr. Wood has also changed careers?" Pentas teased angrily, and even refused to tell the truth to Ian. She said unceremoniously, "Since we are colleagues, please abide by the rules. Don't
I want to get some clues about us.”
"You guys have really fallen in love with money." Ian muttered, and then had to explain, "Listen to me, let me declare that I accepted the commission for free, so I don't have any interests with you.
conflict."
"Really?" Pentas looked unbelieving.
"Yes, I owe this old woman a favor, so I'm helping out for free." Ian continued to explain helplessly.
After several rounds of this, Pentas finally reluctantly believed what Ian said, so she revealed the target they had just tracked: "It's the wealthy businessman Yewen."
"Ye Wen?" Ian was shocked, wondering what the crazy believer was up to. Moreover, it involved extraordinary power, so he was inevitably a little suspicious, "Why do you say that?"
Tommy stood up and said: "The matter started two days ago. The disappearance of girls' school students happened three times in total until today, and today is the third time.
Principal Nancy only found us after the second incident. After analyzing the previous two incidents, we guessed that this incident would continue, so we agreed with the principal that they would stay inside and we would stay outside to see who it was.
Committing a crime."
"The result is unexpected?" Ian asked without any surprise.
"How do you know?" Pentas asked in surprise.
Tommy saw that Ian was smiling but didn't answer, so he continued: "Sure enough, in the middle of the night, we found two more girls coming out of the closed girls' school, and then entering the alley next door."
"Didn't you see anyone else? Did they come out on their own?" Ian asked.
"That's right!" Pentas' tone was full of disbelief, and her face was full of confusion. "No one knows how they walked out without passing through the gate. It's really scary. Do you think they are evil?
A witch did it?”
"Idiot, didn't we see Yewen leading them away later?" Tommy said from the side, "otherwise, why would we chase them here?"
"You are the fool!" Pentas was furious when she heard Tommy's words, and immediately retorted, "What if that Yevin is a witch pretending to be a witch? Who doesn't know that the evil witch likes to play these conspiracies the most."
(Witches are so miserable, why do they take the blame every day!)
Ian shook his head speechlessly and stood between the two of them, signaling for them to be quiet. At the same time, he pointed at the abandoned house and said slowly: "No matter who it is, the truth is inside. You will know if you go in and take a look."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked inside.
