Why did this drunkard come to the Sheriff to report the crime?
Why would an ordinary person who has no contact with any big shots claim to have discovered the important information that the Public Security Bureau most wants to know?
Don't blame Lynn for being sensitive.
Since the drunkard and his family are neighbors, the possibility of discovering Capa cannot be ruled out.
Secondly, the only information that can be regarded as important information by the Public Security Bureau is the traces of Capa, who is wanted on a large scale.
Based on this association, the drunkard probably saw Capa by accident, combined with the wanted notices everywhere, and wanted to expose him and collect the reward money.
If he hadn't come to the Public Security Bureau today and allowed the other party to successfully expose him, the situation would have been unimaginable.
"If you have something to say, don't tell me anything. Also, stay away from me and don't touch my clothes." The Sheriff disliked the drunkard who smelled of alcohol and did not take seriously the 'important information' he said.
"This is a very big matter, do we have to find a place to talk?" The drunkard looked around cautiously.
Lin En, who was not far away from him, turned sideways and hid behind the public carriage.
"If you don't tell me, get out of here!" The Sheriff didn't have time to waste time with a drunkard.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll ask the last question. If I tell the truth, will I really give a lot of reward money?" the drunkard asked.
The impatient Sheriff calmed down his emotions and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Reward? Who did you see?"
"Just, that card - uh -" the drunkard's expression froze.
"Kah?" The Sheriff didn't understand what it meant, "Just say your name - eh, what are you doing?!"
Before the Sheriff could finish his emphasis, the drunkard fell into his arms.
The Sheriff instinctively backed away and reached out to help, but the drunkard's body was very weak and he still collapsed on the ground.
"What's wrong with you? Talk! You! What's wrong with you - are you okay?! Can you talk?!"
The Sheriff felt the warmth on his hands, and when he took a closer look, he saw that his hands were covered in blood, and there was a vicious wound on the drunkard's abdomen that was bleeding profusely, with even internal organs slipping out of it.
There were no gunshots, no one approached them, and the wound was a long path.
This made the Sheriff subconsciously mistakenly think that the drunkard was injured, and the wound suddenly burst open just now.
He began to attempt emergency treatment and called for help from passers-by.
Lin En, who was hiding behind the carriage, looked indifferent. After carefully wiping the blood-stained coins, he picked up another private carriage and rushed to the slums.
It's a coincidence.
The radiation range of his mind power has been increased to ten meters in diameter, so even if he is hiding behind the carriage, he can still eradicate the drunkard on the other side without anyone noticing.
And will killing the drunkard affect the difficulty and rewards of the next mission?
Lin En believed that even if it had an impact, the impact would be quite limited.
After all, he basically confirmed that the drunkard knew about Capa's existence and wanted to expose it to earn a bounty.
If the drunkard really informed the Sheriff, the Sheriff's Department would directly threaten the safety of him, Matt, and Capa.
Therefore, what he is doing now is to nip the danger in the bud, which is tantamount to self-defense.
The carriage swayed.
Lin En sat in the carriage with her eyes closed and silent.
Last night's charity dinner, the news of Arthur's death this morning, the drunkard he silenced himself with just a few minutes ago...
Nowadays, we are really further and further away from a peaceful life.
Where is the end?
The unseen future, the mysterious and mysterious existence, what is the answer?
There were too many things swirling in Lin En's mind at the same time, making him confused for a while.
Fortunately, he soon regained his strength.
No matter what, there is only one way left for him, and that is to go on and become stronger.
Once you become strong, other problems will be easily solved.
This is the logic of how this world works.
——
Back in the slums, Linn considered the time and went to the group house to find Meira first, handed her the remaining money, and then returned to the old house pretending as if nothing happened.
Kapa looks much better than before, the bruises on his body have obviously faded, and his walking activities are basically unaffected.
"You're here." Because he had agreed to come back today, Capa greeted Linn to sit down without any surprise.
"Where's Matt?" Lynn glanced at the time on her watch.
It's noon now.
He chose to go find Meira first, just because it happened to be noon when he returned to the old house, and Matt was there.
"It's probably time to get off work. I'm probably making dinner now." Capa lived with Matt for a few days and roughly figured out Matt's routine.
"I hope he gives me a copy too." Lynn smiled.
"Definitely, he knows you are coming back today." Capa said, "How is the situation outside? Are they still investigating strictly?"
Lin En had already thought about what to say: "I'll tell you all when Matt comes back."
"Yes." Capa nodded, "By the way, I feel that my health is almost better. In a few days, if conditions permit, I will set off to the royal capital to continue seeking justice."
This cannot be stopped.
With Capa's temperament, he would never sit idly by and let the trafficked women have to hide in Tibet for the rest of their lives, unable to return to a normal life.
"I will help you leave if possible." Linn supported.
It is important now for Capa to recognize the cruel world.
And it would be safer for Capa to go outside to avoid the limelight than to stay in Tswold City.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Matt came back, holding three portions of rice in his hand: "Brother."
"Is there no problem in the past two days?" Lin En took the food and put it on the table. He didn't tell him about the drunkard who wanted to be exposed but was eradicated in time.
"No problem, everything is safe." Matt still didn't know that the drunkard had discovered Capa's existence.
"That's good." Lynn patted Matt's shoulder, "Sit down and eat."
He didn't blame Matt for being careless.
Capa was brought here on his own initiative, and Matt has to be busy with work every day, so it's already great to be able to do this.
Since the drunkard is dead and there will be no further progress in the investigation by the Sheriff's Department, they can just pretend that nothing happened and wait a few days to arrange for Capa to leave the city.
"Brother, what's going on at the Sheriff's Department?" After the three of them sat down, Matt asked the same question.
Lynn was eating pie: "We are safe."
"Why?" Matt and Capa asked in unison.
"They caught the real culprit who killed William and his gang the day before yesterday. A marginal figure like Capa in the arson case will no longer be regarded as the focus of the investigation." Lin En said half-truths without changing his expression, "Straightforwardly.
To put it simply, even if someone is wanted, they will definitely still be wanted, but there will no longer be a blanket search."
"Did the curfew end because the murderer was caught? Who was the murderer? Why did they go against William and his gang, who have such a strong background?" Matt asked.
Lin En didn't want to go into too much detail: "This matter is very complicated, and the Public Security Bureau is still investigating it intensively. I will tell you when the situation becomes clearer."
