Pendor Empire In Other Worlds
Chapter 32: trial
Elmond Truu kept complaining about his nosy.
As a small businessman who only does business in the waters of the Principality, he is naturally no match for the large chambers of commerce that can conduct ocean trade.
But being able to own a brig of his own, he can be regarded as a small well-known merchant in the entire principality.
He had already planned that he would buy a title of Lord of Honor after a few years of running a merchant ship, and he would live a life of idle and rich man ever since.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and a troublesome matter involving the upper-class nobles suddenly came to him.
This morning, he and his buddy were driving a fully loaded merchant ship to go to sea.
But not far from the port, the sharp-eyed sailor found a man in the sea. Based on the principle of watching and helping each other in the sea, everyone rescued the man who fell into the water.
This is just the beginning of the matter.
After being rescued, the man who fell into the water first revealed his identity as a soldier in the principality. Elmond, who has been a maritime merchant in the principality for many years, confirmed this through the leather armor he wore.
But then, the soldiers told him an amazing news, "The ship of the Countess of Qatar was attacked by pirates."
This is an extraordinary incident, so when the soldiers asked Elmond to send him back to Port Norris, Elmond, who did not dare to offend the Earl of Qatar, agreed without hesitation and escorted him all the way to the port garrison camp. .
What made him uncomfortable was that the port of Norris was under martial law soon, and all ships except warships were not allowed to leave the port.
For short-distance businessmen like Elmond, the loss caused by each day's delay is enough distressing.
But there is no way, he can only let the guys disband and wait for the port to be unblocked.
Unexpectedly, late at night, he was busy with his lover and was called to the police station along with the other crew members who remained in the city.
Elmond felt a little wronged. He didn't even do business to report the letter, but he didn't get any benefits. He had to be interrogated like a prisoner at night.
But he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction. Although he muttered in his heart, "Never be nosy in the future", he answered every question very carefully on the surface.
"I will ask you again, are you sure that the soldier who fell into the water asked you to send him back?"
It was Lothar who asked Elmond.
In the past hour, he has asked questions like this no less than five times.
"That's for sure. If it weren't for his request, how could I just leave it alone and stop doing business and return to the port with great difficulty."
Elmond felt a little broken, and he almost vomited when he answered this question.
Lothar nodded, and finally ended the seemingly endless questioning.
He stood up and ordered the police officer at the security station to prepare a room for Elmond to rest, and then walked out of the interrogation room.
"How about Lothar, did you ask anything wrong?"
Seeing Lothar come out, Lin Peng, who was waiting outside the interrogation room, asked hurriedly.
Lothar shook his head slightly, "I changed several attitudes and methods and asked several times, plus the testimony of other crew members, it can prove that Elmond's statement is not wrong, he just participated in this by chance. From this incident."
"Doesn't this mean that our hopes have been lost?" The old scholar looked disappointed.
"That's not necessarily true. Rather, the hope is greater." Lothar denied Lin Peng's inference.
Then, he asked the chief officer of the police station next to Lin Peng: "Sir Newlen, did the soldiers who came back to report the letter pick it up?"
"Mr. Lothar, the soldier Thabeet has been brought back, and he is now in Interrogation Room No. 4, but he seems to be sick, and the doctor said he has a cold."
"This is normal, please find someone to give him more charcoal fire, Sir Newlen."
"Yes." Sir Newlen finished speaking and went to find someone to arrange.
Losara passed Lin Peng, found a quiet little corner, and whispered to his ears.
"Lin Peng, you find someone you trust to go to the port, find Lucas, the owner of the'Noisler' bar, and ask him to help me prepare a sloop. It will be ready within two hours. I have something to do with him, and it can be done by mentioning my name."
Lucas in Lothar's mouth is a local snake in the harbour. He is more loyal and owed to Lothar before.
"Then you go to the earl to sign a pass for me. Be careful not to let others know."
"You mean...," Lin Peng was a little surprised.
"No accident, I may be leaving soon. Time is urgent now."
Lin Peng left with some excitement. Lothar waited for half an hour before entering Interrogation Room No. 4.
Because of the extra charcoal fire, the indoor temperature is very warm, but it is also a little dull.
This caused Lucas to soak in the sea for a while, and now Lucas, who is somewhat cold, feels dizzy.
He was a little uneasy. In the plan, he should now take a good rest as a hero, instead of being taken to the police station in the middle of the night and hanging out for a long time.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lucas, who realized that someone had finally come, cheered up and looked at him.
Lothar closed the door, showing that he walked to the stove and picked the burning coal, then moved the stool and sat on the opposite side of Lucas, staring at him silently.
Lucas was a little nervous for no reason. He licked the corner of his mouth and was about to ask, but he heard the person in front of him say something that shocked him.
"Can you tell me, how did you plan this attack?"
Lucas's drowsy brain cleared, UU read www.uukānshu.com, he forced his composure, and asked, "My lord, what are you talking about, I don't understand."
"No need to pretend, your plan is not well prepared."
"According to you, you were attacked by pirates 30 nautical miles from Norris Port yesterday evening, right."
"30 nautical miles is roughly equivalent to 50 kilometers on land. To have such a long distance in the sea, do you think you can really do it?"
"Uh, you don't know, my lord, I grew up by the sea, and my swimming ability is good. It's normal to swim more than 50 kilometers." Lucas sighed with relief.
"Does winter swimming include?" Lothar smiled playfully.
"From yesterday evening to this morning, traveling 50 kilometers at night in such a season would be deadly."
Lothar got up and walked in front of Lucas, leaning over to look into his eyes.
"Also, you have stayed at the mouth of the Norris River. You should also know how turbulent the undercurrent is there."
Lucas finally panicked. His drowsy head made him feel a little calm to think, and he could only say vaguely, "That might be my memory. We weren't that far away when the pirates attacked."
"Hahahaha" Lothar gave a long smile, "Okay, no need to make up, do you think we caught you just based on these inferences? All of your secret whistles have been recruited."
"How come," Lucas was shocked.
"Why not, being so blatant as a secret whistle, what's so strange about being caught?"
Lucas couldn’t tell whether Lothar’s words were true or not. He regretted that he hadn’t planned enough, so he soaked in the sea for a long time, and finally caught a cold.
In a sick state, he has always been cautious and cunning, and he cannot calm down.
