Mercenaries and Adventurers

The roof is a little soft to step on, and Zhao Ji guessed that it is because the roof is made of wood, so it looks a little elastic. Every time he stepped on it, he was worried that the roofs of the residents would be collapsed, but when he saw Ke Lumen running fast in front of him, Zhao Ji let go of his worries, stepped forward, and desperately chased the fleeing Ke Lumen. Lumen.

As expected by Zhao Ji, Ke Lumen is a burly middle-aged man, he is said to be burly, but he is actually fat, and his body weighs at least two hundred catties. Considering the level of agriculture in this world, it is possible to eat so fat, and the family is not poor according to Zhao Ji just now, which shows that this Krumen's business level is actually not bad. Except he killed another guy by gambling.

The two of them ran across the roofs of several houses that were next to each other. The roofs they ran vibrated and rumbled, causing the people below to curse suddenly. Guessing it should be time for dinner, Zhao Ji apologized in his heart to the residents below. The dust that fell from the roof vibration caused by their chasing and fleeing may have polluted the dinners of several people.

Although he felt apologetic in his heart, Zhao Ji did not take half a step in catching up, and he himself was even more excited. I never knew that chasing on the roof was such an exciting thing. No wonder in my previous life, every chase scene in an action movie had to be a rooftop chase.

This is so exciting.

Compared with walking on the ground, running on the roof gave him a novel and strange feeling. The whole person feels a feeling of getting rid of the shackles.

Zhao Ji was much lighter and younger than Krumen, so after crossing two alleys sideways and leaping from above, Zhao Ji quickly caught up with Krumen who was fleeing.

Although Kelumen was running away with all his strength, he was not in training after all. He could only pull a small distance away from Zhao Ji at the beginning of the chase. Running and chasing on the roof, Kruman was drawn closer and closer.

Bad luck finally hit him, and in front of him was no longer a flat one-story bungalow, but a three-story shop facing the street. It turned out that the chase between Ke Lumen and Zhao Ji had already reached the main street in the slum area. Both sides of the house in front are ground streets. At this time, they are all at a height of more than four meters from the ground. If they fall to the ground from this height, they will be easily injured if they do not grasp their posture.

But Krumman had no way to escape, he could only breathe out a sigh of relief, and slammed into the wooden window on the second floor of the shop in front of him.

-----------------------

Zhao Ji saw that Kelumen had nowhere to escape, and was about to slow down and force the opponent to catch him without a fight or jump off the street on his own initiative. But unexpectedly, Krumen slammed into the closed wooden window directly.

You must know that the wooden windows on the second floor of the shop are made of thick wooden boards to prevent theft, and they are generally not opened. They are only opened when there are people inside or when cleaning. Now that it is officially dusk, all the wooden windows of the shops have been tightly closed, and the inside should also be fixed and closed with small wooden wedges.

But Kruman was desperate and wanted to smash it.

With a cracking sound, Kruman managed to smash through the wooden window with his weight and fell in.

Zhao Ji hurried to the front, and through the damaged wooden window, he saw Krumen who was crouching in the room and let out a burst of ridicule.

It is estimated that Krumen must not have expected that he smashed through the wooden window to survive, and knocked himself out directly.

Zhao Ji carefully avoided the broken wooden window, and climbed into the second-floor room of the shop through the window. There was already the sound of going downstairs, Zhao Ji quickly tore off one of Kelumen's sleeves, pinned Kelumen's arm backwards, and tied him tightly with the torn sleeve.

He doesn't want to tie people up with his own belt,

Anyway, this Kruman is doomed. Gambling, murder, resisting arrest, all together, in this different world, is enough for him to go to the guillotine. It was no longer a matter of consideration whether he was well dressed or not.

Just after Zhao Ji tied up the somewhat confused Krumen, the owner of the shop opened the wooden door of the house from the outside.

"Who's in there? Hurry up and open it! The stick with spikes in my hand is not delicious!" The owner of the shop opened a crack in the door and shouted.

Zhao Ji quickly stood up and explained: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad guy, I'm actually chasing the bad guys. You see, the person on the ground is the one I caught, and this person is a murderer who killed people. Today Have you heard about the murder case nearby? This is the murderer."

After hearing Zhao Ji's explanation, the wooden door opened, and two men with weapons walked in. One is older, holding a wooden stick studded with spikes in his hand, and the other should be his child, holding a heavy wooden object for self-defense.

I saw that there was indeed a strapped fat man on the ground, and Zhao Ji, who was empty-handed, didn't look like a bad guy. The owner of the shop immediately felt relieved. But when he saw the messy house and the wooden window with a big hole, the shop owner's face immediately froze, and he hurriedly asked Zhao Ji to compensate for the loss of these things.

Hey, he didn't break it, so what's the matter with Zhao Ji?

Zhao Ji pushed 256, and only said that he would ask the store owner to go to the prisoner in the future, or ask the prisoner's family members to ask for it. Only then did the store merchants who kept nagging about claims be appeased.

Together with the merchant's son, Zhao Ji carried the confused Krumen to the gate of the store. As soon as the door was opened, many nearby residents gathered outside to watch the excitement. They all saw the two people chasing and fleeing on the roof all the way just now, and they saw Krumen smashing the window. At this time, they all gathered around the gate of the shop curiously to watch the excitement.

---------------

After a while, Mr. Fu Lun rushed over with Nita Shepherd and a dozen or so city militiamen.

As soon as he came, Mr. Fullen was entangled by the owner of the shop, and asked him to call the shots and find someone to compensate him for the loss. But Mr. Fulun didn't have time to pay attention to him, he just asked him to go to the government office to find himself tomorrow. In front of all the onlookers nearby, Mr. Fulun took the iron shackles from the militiamen and firmly locked the Krumen. Then he announced to the crowd of onlookers that the case of Kaduo's murder that happened nearby today has been solved, and that the fat middle-aged man who was handcuffed was the murderer.

The crowd made various sounds, some admiring. There is a taunt that is the latest to come, but it feels like he caught it. There are also people who ask what happened to the whole murder case. All kinds of voices mixed together, and the scene seemed very lively. Mr. Fullen was obviously very satisfied. He didn't care about those who ridiculed and questioned him. After all, he played a major role in the whole incident, and he didn't care at all. Imaginary.

Zhao Ji asked in a low voice why Nita Mushou and the others came so late. He thought that when he and Krumen were chasing on the roof, the people below should also be chasing closely. It's very possible to chase and lose it. When they ran across the roof, the movement was not small.

Nita Mushou explained to Kiel with a wry smile. It turned out that there were militiamen chasing after him at that time. But by coincidence, the Vicious Dog Gang, which made Fulun worried, also sent people to look for Krumen, and the two sides directly collided. got together.

The Vicious Dogs blocked the exit of the alley, and insisted that no one should go out until they reached Krumman's house and caught Krummen. Mr. Fu Lun and Nita Shepherd also rushed over with their people, but the members of the Vicious Dog Gang didn't care about Mr. Fu Lun and the few militiamen he led. Although they couldn't deal with Nita Shepherd, they could let Nita go. Mushou passed by, but Nita Mushou couldn't run, and couldn't catch up with the two men who were chasing and fleeing on the roof.

The two sides were so deadlocked.

Until Mr. Fulun called a resident who was watching the excitement outside the alley, and asked him to help call the militia in the city. After more than a dozen militiamen rushed over, those vicious dog gang thugs who delayed the matter were blocked by the front and rear roads and arrested without a fight.

Zhao Ji asked, what will be the punishment for those people afterwards?

Nita was silent for a while in embarrassment, and then answered Kiel: "There are people in the government office where Fulun is staying. They can only be locked in prison for three days, and they will be released after three days."

Zhao Ji nodded, no wonder, there are people in the government affairs office, maybe the whole Vicious Dog Gang is managed by a branch of Baron Kendall's family.

Afterwards, Mr. Fullen took the sober Krumen back to the prison behind the government affairs office. Zhao Ji also followed, because Mr. Fu Lun had already sent someone to call all the members of the Cardo family and the Krumen family to come.

Although Kruman didn't say anything, his family had already told everything about what happened after Krumen returned home during the day. Sr. Clement—that is, Clement’s father—expressed that his son hurt the hearts of their family, and that his son should be punished for any mistakes he made. He just hoped that the whole thing would not affect the His grandson grew up just fine.

When everyone gathered in the prison area behind the government affairs office, the scene was really lively. Zhao Ji said that he really enjoyed watching it. The people in Cardo kept complaining and insulting the members of the Kruman family, and the people of the Krumen family were not to be outdone, and immediately retorted. In addition, other relatives and friends of the two families who lived nearby joined in, making the back of the government affairs office extremely lively.

Mr. Fu Lun, who was originally proud of his leadership in solving a headless murder case, was immediately called by his superior clerk in the government affairs office to reprimand him.

Zhao Ji watched it lively, he didn't care about that, he went to the side of Ms. Mi Lian who was drinking water and resting before launching a scolding battle, and asked the other party to fulfill the promise made during the day.

Nita Mushou was standing beside Zhao Ji. He hadn't returned to the church yet, and was helping Fulun sort out the entire case process today. At this time, Kiel begged him to help him. Nita Mushou faced Ms. Milian and confirmed the important role Keir played in the cracking of today's case.

Ms. Miriam originally wanted Keir to help denounce the Krummen family, but Nita Shepherd was nearby. She still didn't say this, but called Kiel to the next wall and told him about Secret messages and clues to this 'treasure'.

---------------

"How to start. Keir, do you know where I am from?" Ms. Milian asked a question first.

Zhao Ji shrugged: "How can I know this, I didn't know you before."

Ms. Milian pointed to the east side of the sky. It was already dark at this time, but there were many expensive glass oil lamps hanging on the open space in the courtyard of the government affairs office for lighting. In the same response, the government affairs office also called five armed guards with big waists and ten city militiamen with sticks to separate the two groups of family members who were fiercely scolding their duties.

"My hometown is Dorallin Village in the eastern part of Kendall County. It is a big village with more than 2,000 people. There have always been rumors in my hometown that it was the ancient residence of elves. Do you know elves?" Milian said the lady.

Zhao Ji nodded: "I know, they have been mentioned in many stories, very powerful ones."

"That's right, the very powerful one. The legend of my village, Dolarin, means a vast wheat field in the elf language." Ms. Milian said.

"What do you mean? That treasure is about elves?" Zhao Ji raised his interest, which is incredible.

Ms. Milian shook her head: "I'm not sure, I can only say it's possible. Don't worry, it happened when I was young. At that time, I was just fourteen or fifteen years old, and I was looking for someone to marry. But my family doesn't have much money. My parents worked hard and didn't save much of my dowry.

I had no choice but to prepare for myself, and I ran to the wasteland outside the village. By the way, there have always been goblins in our area, but at that time most of the goblins were being wiped out by the village lord knight, so the wilderness was safe at that time, but the villagers have always maintained a long-term habit of never running away Go where the sentry tower can't see. At that time, I sneaked into the wasteland, caught fish in the pond and sold them for money, shot colorful birds with my bow and arrow, and plucked their feathers to sell for money. Etc., etc. "

Zhao Ji glanced at Ms. Mi Lian. He didn't expect that the outstanding Zaun player who was still swearing at people just now had such an experience when he was young. If she's not bragging, she's far superior to many men.

"I accidentally heard that someone was harvesting bats, so I prepared a net for myself. I followed the route of bats at dusk until I found a bat-infestation site near our village. It was a big tree stump. It is big, wider than a house, but because it is covered by the gap between two hills, no one usually notices the dead tree stump.

I saw swarms of bats flying out of there, so I propped up the net and climbed onto the tree stump, trying to net some bats. It was alright at first, I netted some bats for some money the first few times, but one day I accidentally fell off the edge of a tree stump. At that time, I was really afraid of death, thinking that people would just disappear. Because the stump is empty inside, it is a tree hole, and the bats fly out of it, it is dark and very deep.

I ended up falling onto the bat droppings and didn't fall. At that time, I just wanted to climb out, removed the net, tied it into a rope, and climbed out little by little. As a result, guess what I saw halfway up the climb? "

Zhao Ji was fascinated and guessed: "Treasure?"

"No, it's silver! There are a lot of silver embedded in the inner wall of the tree!"

"Then what about the treasure you mentioned? You must have taken all these silver nuggets as a dowry afterwards. Oh, the dowry may not need that much, presumably your family must have gotten rid of labor?"

Ms. Milian laughed, and said with her hands on her hips: "Of course! My parents stopped working long ago, and I took all the silver pieces. The treasure I mentioned is in the depths of that tree hole. I once looked into it curiously. After exploring, it is not a tree hole, but a man-made relic, no, it is the relic of elves. But it is very eerie, dark and without any light, so I did not explore it again. Now I put this Tell you the news, how about it? Are you satisfied? There is no lie in what I said. I, Milian, never lie!"

Zhao Ji nodded, approving Ms. Milian's words. Of course, he had to go to the field to explore the specific truth and falsehood before he could judge.
