Trafford’s Trading Club

Early this morning, the Royal Capital Police sent people to find [Locke's Weapons Shop], woke up Jilian who was still sleeping, and hoped that he could go to the Security Department to identify the body.

Jiren goes and quickly recognizes that the dead man is indeed his dad, Max.

"... He died late at night last night. The murderers were three undocumented people who were living under a bridge in Xicheng District. They were caught on the spot by people from the Security Department." Jilian sat down, but he couldn't hide his feelings. "I heard that it may be because of murder and robbery, but it is still in the interrogation stage... How could it be like this? Although my father is usually very irregular, he is not a bad person! He also often goes to Maple Leaf Pavilion to support those who The woman who lost her footing..."

Jilian mentioned that he was an orphan without a father and a mother. He was adopted and raised by Max since he was a child. Needless to say, the relationship between the two... No matter how sad Jilian seems to be at this moment, there is nothing surprising about it. .

"Why did you come here to tell me this?" Boss Luo suddenly asked: "You should have just come out of the Security Department of the Royal Capital, but you came here to find me right away. Is there any reason... I just told you News about the murder of my Mr. Max?”

Jiren opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, then sighed and said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo... your sword may have been lost... I'm sorry!"

Luo Qiu didn't have much ups and downs. After pouring a glass of water to Jilian quite calmly, he said slowly: "Can you tell me more specifically."

Jilian had no choice but to say: "Actually, dad couldn't find anyone after you left yesterday... At that time, I felt a little strange, because not only did dad not see you, but you stayed in the weapons shop The sword that needs to be maintained is also missing... I guess dad took it away, but why he did this I can't figure out. Then, this morning it was confirmed that dad was killed, but I asked I contacted people from the Security Department, and they said that no similar sword was found at the scene... In other words, no one knows the whereabouts of your sword, Mr. Luo."

As he said that, Jilian immediately knelt on the floor and said in shame: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, you trusted me so much... As a result... As a result, we lost your important weapon... I'm sorry!"

Boss Luo looked at Jilian and suddenly asked: "Do you think it is more serious that I lost my weapon, or that Mr. Max was killed?"

Jilian couldn't help but be startled, "Yes...it's dad."

Luo Qiu said softly: "Since the matter of Mr. Max being killed is more serious, I think what you have to do now is not to apologize to me here... but to find the truth of the matter, right?"

"But...but I, I really don't know what to do now." Jilian shook his head: "I have no clue now."

"As long as something has been done, it will leave traces." Boss Luo motioned for Jilian to sit up and said slowly: "Perhaps, there are some traces that only you can discover, because for Mr. Max, maybe you He is the person who knows him best in the world.”

"Me?" Jilian opened his mouth, "But...but when dad died, I wasn't there..."

"Then go and see the scene!"

But at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded - coming from outside the door.

At the same time, the door opened automatically, and then there was a young man wearing the uniform of the Royal Capital Security Department standing outside the door. He was leaning against the wall of the corridor with a sword in his arms, looking straight at him like a knife.

"You are..." Jilian was startled. He did not recognize the Royal Capital guard who suddenly appeared outside the door.

The young man walked directly into the room and said calmly: "My name is Tianren Mu, the second chief of the Royal Capital Security Department... I was the one responsible for the murder that happened last night."

"But...but why are you here?" Jilian asked subconsciously.

The young man... Tianren Mu glanced at Boss Luo casually at this moment, then stared at Jilian and said: "Since you left the Security Department, I have been following you until you came to this hotel and met The people here.”

"You follow me...you follow..." Jilian suddenly frowned and said slightly angrily: "Even if you are a member of the Security Department, can you casually inquire into other people's privacy if you are troubled?"

Tianren Mu said calmly: "Although I caught three suspects on the spot in last night's murder case, they interrogated them all night and insisted that they were innocent... Of course, I caught the person with my own hands, and the evidence is conclusive. Because they shouted their grievances all night and let it go...until you came in the morning and made me find something questionable."

"Me?" Jilian opened his mouth in surprise.

Tianren Mu said: "Although you were very nervous about Max's murder, you mentioned a sword and you were also quite nervous... I was a little concerned at the time, and then you left the Security Department and came here."

Jilian had no choice but to say: "Mr. Luo gave the sword to our weapons shop for maintenance yesterday. Now that the sword is lost, shouldn't I be nervous? I have lost a customer's weapon. This will have a great impact on the reputation of the weapons shop. If it is spread, Get out, how can [Locke’s Weapons Shop] gain a foothold in the Royal Capital Market in the future?”

Tianren Mu sneered and said: "As far as I know, the reputation of this weapons shop has never been very good. It either delays customers' time or often has quarrels with customers. It doesn't seem to have any reputation... As for establishing a foothold. , Max, the only one who holds the qualification of a craftsman in the kingdom, has been killed, and according to our investigation, you are just an apprentice and are not qualified to open a shop... In other words, this weapons shop, from now on, has Unable to operate.”

"You!" Jilian gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly, but soon sat down slumped, looking lost.

Tianren Mu looked at it for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Although the weapons shop can no longer be opened, finding out the truth for the dead is something you can still do while alive. Since you are Max's adopted son, you are the most familiar with it. His person is also you, and I think you have an obligation to do this."

Jiren looked up at him.

Tianren Mu took out something at this time... It was wrapped in a handkerchief. After opening it, he saw that it contained a small metal fragment.

"What is this?" Jilian asked confused.

"This was found in Max's palm when inspecting the body." Tianren Mu said calmly: "His fist held this item tightly. It should have been obtained from something like jewelry. , and it is further speculated that it may be something that Max took from the assailant when he was fighting with him."

"The three people you caught me red-handed?"

"After checking, there is nothing similar on them." Tianren Mu thought for a while and said: "Despite this, it does not prove that they are not suspicious... So, I hope you can follow me to the scene to check and see Are there any new clues? In addition, please let this gentleman come too..."

After saying that, Tianren Mu looked at Luo Qiu and said calmly: "I have heard it. Since your weapon was lost in Max's hands, and the weapon was lost after the incident, you are temporarily involved in this murder case." There is no way to escape the connection - of course, I am not doubting you, I just don’t want to let go of any clues and wrongly accuse any innocent person.”

It's this familiar smell.

Boss Luo has been listening by the side - ever since Tianren Mu entered the door, he has been sizing up the second-in-command of the Royal Capital Security Department... This is how it feels.

Before becoming a boss, Luo Qiu grew up in such a family. His father was a police officer, and his uncles, aunts and uncles were all engaged in this profession.

There is a sense of intimacy... in this second-in-command of the security force.

"If there is anything I can do to help, I will be very happy." Boss Luo smiled slightly, "My name is Luo."

"Luo?" Tianren Mu nodded, "Okay, I remember... Let's go now. I had people seal off the murder scene last night. But we need to move quickly, because the Astrology Department predicts that there will be a murder later. There was a heavy rain.”

The sky outside has become a little overcast.

…

…

Dr. Gers was looking at the cell door lock in a daze, frowning from time to time.

It's really miserable... His hands are now wearing special shackles, and all the professional's power has been sealed - the only comfort at this time is that he, Tina, and Sneff are all locked up In one place, we finally share the same difficulties.

"Why is that guy named Tianren Mu so powerful?" Dr. Gers suddenly trembled and said in disbelief: "Obviously in all the novels, movies, TV shows and even games, there are police and other characters. You must be a hot chicken!"

The maid thought thoughtfully: "Maybe it's because, doctor, the story books you have read, etc., don't feature police officers as the protagonists?"

"...This is unscientific!" Dr. Gers snorted twice, "We can't sit still and wait for death... What we are facing now may be murder!"

They are now imprisoned in a prison cell. If they are finally convicted, it seems that if they are not the death penalty, they will also face being imprisoned... In the world of the [Chessboard] game, anything can happen, but as a servant, in the end... It would be too tragic to be sentenced to death or imprisoned to death.

"But we can't do anything now." Tina shook her head and said: "Our power has been sealed...Does the Security Department of the Royal Capital actually have such a method? We didn't know it before..."

"We have to find a way to inform the outside world." Dr. Gers said seriously: "There is no need to count on Sneff, his master is just a dog... Now we can only count on Tiff and Nelson. What about this Nelson? It took you so long to make a meal? Has Tiff not woken up yet?"

The maid girl shook her head.

At this moment, a prisoner was being dragged past their cell door, leaving a long trail of blood... The prisoner's legs had actually been cut off!

The guard dragging the prisoner stared at the three people in the cell, Gers, and said fiercely: "Did you see it? This is the result of not telling the truth... If you don't tell the truth, you will be next! "

Dr. Gers' throat rumbled subconsciously, "Don't panic when you encounter problems...Nelson, you bastard, you haven't come back yet——!!"

"Trash!" the guard snorted and continued to drag the unconscious prisoner away.

…

…

It's cloudy, on the road to the crime scene.

Because the person sitting on the cart was the one brought by Mu Xing, the Celestial Being—it had the badge of the Royal Capital Security Department on it, so there was no obstruction on the way.

Boss Luo curiously asked at this time: "Since the three murderers were caught on the spot by Mr. Tianren Mu, why are you suspicious of this matter... Just because an unknown metal was found in Mr. Max's palm Fragments?"

Tianren Mu glanced at it calmly... The Police Department should not reveal the details of the case to outsiders when investigating a case.

But for some reason, he just wanted to say...maybe it was because he liked the other person?

"According to the confessions of the three suspects I captured last night, they came to check out of curiosity because they saw Max's body being thrown off the bridge. As for the act of pulling out the murder weapon from the body, although it was a bit reckless, , but it’s not that the same thing has happened before... In fact, I was patrolling by, and I just saw them pulling out the murder weapon, but there was no actual killing scene - so if there is no evidence to prove that they did it, there is no way. Convict them."

——So you actually came out to find evidence to incriminate those three suspects...

Jiren glanced at the second-in-command of the Security Department strangely... As a second-in-command, his position is already quite high, right? Why do the people of the Royal Capital Security Department take things so seriously... He has heard more stories about how they were beaten into submission?

"A more important point." Tianren Mu suddenly said at this time: "The three suspects I caught are too weak... They should not be qualified to kill Max."

"??" Jilian couldn't help but look confused.

Tianren Mu said calmly: "Don't you know? Max, who has reached the top level of mainland adventurers twenty years ago, was once named the [Explosive Hammer King] because of his amazing hammering combat skills. People who are on the same level as several of the great sword masters of mankind...how can a few little gangsters kill such a strong man? Those three trash can't even take a single move from me."

"...The Max you are talking about is really the same person as my father Max?" Jilian couldn't help but open his mouth.

Heavenly Man Mu said: "I didn't believe it at first, but when I checked Max's body, I found the [Saint's Mark] on his body. Only strong men who set foot in the [Sacred Realm] can possess the [Saint's] Mark." . Later, I traced the files of the Adventurer's Guild, and it was confirmed that Max was the [Explosive Hammer King] back then."

Jiren had a completely unbelievable look on his face as he saw a ghost, and subconsciously said, "Is it possible that you saw this mark wrong too?"

Tianren Mu said calmly: "No, I have seen the [Saint's Mark] before, so I won't admit it."

Jilian still wanted to struggle. He always felt that it was difficult to reconcile his father with the all-powerful figure from twenty years ago. "Perhaps what you saw before... was also wrong?"

Celestial Being Mu snorted coldly: "My teacher is one of the human sword masters. What I saw was his [Saint's Mark]. Do you still have any questions?"

Jiren opened his mouth, "Okay... In short, the three suspects last night were rubbish, and even you couldn't beat them. And your master is one of the human sword masters, and my father is also a human sword master." For characters of the same level, those three trash are even more invincible...so the chance of them being the murderers is very small, right?"

Tianren Mu ignored it, just pulled up the curtain and looked outside, "We're here, get off the car."
