"Hey, Xiao Dou Ding, Dou Ding, and Wen Li are back too. It's been so long!" At the entrance of the library, Hui Jin, who came to read a book, suddenly saw the Elric brothers and Wen Li who had returned at some unknown time.

, smiled and said hello.

"Who is Doudou! You bastard!" Edward said angrily, and Alphonse on the side also said helplessly, "Big... Doudou is..."

"Haha, Mr. Ashes is still so funny..." Wen Li looked at the furious Edward, covered her mouth and laughed, and said hello to Ashes.

"When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Hui Jin held down Edward who was about to strangle him with one hand and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, wasn't this just decided yesterday? I didn't have time to inform you, and my brother's arm has just been repaired, so I'm a little anxious..." Alphonse touched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile.

"How's it going? Did you gain anything from meeting your master?" Hui Jin put down Edward, who had finally settled down, and tilted his head and asked.

"Hey, I have learned something. By the way, I have some things to tell you later. I am going to go to the Court of Military Justice to find Lieutenant Colonel Hughes. Mr. Ashes should also go with me..." Edward said to Ashes with a smile.

Wen Li on the side also said happily, "As for me, just go see Alicia-chan and Mrs. Hughes. Goodbye!"

"Wait a minute Wenli..." Ashes suddenly called out to Wenli. He looked at the curious three people with a serious face and said slowly, "Hughes... is dead!"

"What? What's going on! How is it possible that he was still fine when we left!" Edward hurried forward and asked anxiously.

"Because of eagerness! Because of recklessness! Because of being nosy! That's why Hughes lost his life. Do you understand what I say?" Ashes bent down and looked at Edward's anxious face seriously.

Edward took a step back and said with pain on his face, "You mean... Lieutenant Hughes was killed by me?"

Ashes shook his head gently and said, "It's not a lieutenant. He was promoted two levels because of his death in the line of duty. He is now Brigadier General Hughes... Also, to be precise, he was not killed by you, but was killed by the truth.

understand."

Edward and Alphonse took Winry with them, and the three of them left in a low mood... Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, the fireproof girl couldn't bear to say, "Master Ashes, are you really okay with lying to them like this?"

"How did I lie to them? If I hadn't interfered, Hughes would have been dead. The fact that he was attacked and buried was true. The only thing I didn't tell them was that Hughes came back from the dead. Besides, they were indeed

It's a bit reckless. What happened at the Fifth Research Institute is a complete warning. We need to teach them a lesson." Hui Jin looked at the three people leaving and said slowly.

…

The three people who left were wandering slowly like wandering ghosts, but as if they had agreed, they walked towards Hughes' home together.

Especially Edward, even if Ashes said that he was not the one who killed Hughes, Edward still couldn't let go. It was because of his recklessness and his own imprudence that Hughes was targeted...

Knocking on the door of the Hughes house, Edward couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Mrs. Hughes coming to open the door and Alicia behind her. "Mrs. Gracia, I...I'm sorry for you..."

…

I don’t know what the three of them said to Hughes’ wife at Hughes’s house. When the three of them left, they looked much better, but they were still very depressed...

…

"What are you talking about? Which colonel is investigating Hughes? Then he might get the handle..." In an unknown corner, several people with tattoos of the Ouroboros mark stood together, among them Rust

Looking at Enwei who had returned to his original appearance in front of him, he frowned and said.

"Yes, you are right, so what should we do?" Envi looked at the distressed Rust and said with a gloating smile.

"It's really annoying. He was transferred back to the center just to be able to monitor him better. Can't he be more at ease? And the one named Hui Jing is the same...after all, they are all very good candidates for the human pillar." Lars

Te sighed helplessly and said slowly.

"Hey, which ashes are also the same? Why don't I know?" Envi said curiously

"It was Lars who told my father that he had found a powerful alchemist, so he listed him as a candidate... But can this kind of guy really be controlled by us? What has he been investigating recently?

…It’s really distressing.” Rust spread his hands and complained helplessly.

"You mean...the colonel and this Ashes are both restless, right?" Envi suddenly seemed to have thought of something and laughed strangely.

"Yeah, it's all very distressing... What, what can you do?" Rust looked at Envi who was smiling strangely and laughed, and asked curiously.

"Just let them both settle down...right? I have a good idea..." Envi looked at Rust strangely, with a mischievous smile on his lips, and said slowly.

"Two noisy dogs... will fight each other if there is only a bone in the middle, don't you think?"

…

"The Alchemist of Ashes!" Ashes, who was reading in the library, suddenly felt that someone appeared behind him and called him such a formal name. He couldn't help but turned his head and looked over curiously.

I saw a tall soldier with a few soldiers appear behind me, looked at me seriously and said, "I am Henry Douglas from the Military Police Headquarters."

Hui Jin tilted his head and looked at this person in confusion, and asked curiously, "So, what do you want from me? If you are fine, please don't disturb me reading, okay?"

Looking at the impatient Ashes, a trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the soldier named Henry, but he still said seriously, "Please come with us, you are now an important reference person in the murder of Brigadier General Masius! Yes!

If you want to defend yourself, let’s discuss it at the headquarters.”

"Oh, this is interesting. Are you planning to attack me? Well, I'll just go with you!" After saying that, Ashes stood up, looked at the fire prevention girl and said, "You go first

Go and stay at Madam’s house for a while!”

After saying that, he followed the military police and left the library. Only the fire prevention woman was left sitting in the library and sighed helplessly, muttering softly to herself, "Really, I don't know who is going to be unlucky."

Already…”

After speaking, the fire-proof girl shook her head gently, picked up a book, and continued reading, as if she didn't know the person being taken away.

Is the fire prevention girl worried? She is not worried at all. There is nothing to worry about. As Lord Ashes said, this is interesting... Yes, this kind of thing is just interesting to Ashes...

…

In the dim room, two lamps shone directly on Hui Jin's face. A group of military police looked at Hui Jin who tilted his head and looked fearless. They frowned and asked, "Name, position, title!"

"Don't you all know? Otherwise, how could you catch me?" Hui Jing curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, looking like he refused to cooperate.

"Name! Position! Title!" The military policeman ignored Hui Jin's words and asked more seriously.

Ashes sighed helplessly and said slowly, "Name is Ashes, position is National Alchemist, title is Ashes Alchemist. Are you satisfied?"

The recorder on the side wrote them down one by one, and the military policeman continued to ask, "Where were you when Brigadier General Mashuis was killed?"

"I'm wandering on the street!" Hui Jin rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

The military policeman nodded and continued, "So you know the specific time when Brigadier General Hughes was killed?"

Hui Jing opened his mouth and suddenly didn't know how to answer. How come you, who are framed and framed, are still enforcing the law?

With a roll of his eyes, Hui Jing rubbed his neck and forcefully explained, "That's...that's because I'm bored and spend most of my time wandering around! Well! That's it."

"So, where were you hanging out around one o'clock in the evening when Brigadier General Hughes was killed?" the military policeman continued to question Ashes seriously.

"Let me think about it, it seems that I was wandering in the park near the headquarters." Hui Jing thought for a while and told the truth about his location at that time.

As long as I don't lie, you can't do anything to me. You can't catch my sore feet, and you can't wrongly accuse me for no reason!

Anyway, I was wearing a phantom limb ring when I did it, so it was impossible to leave any image evidence. Thinking this, Hui Jin laughed confidently.

The military police interrogating Ashes took out a photo from the evidence bag and said, "Is this you?"

Hui Jin looked at himself in the photo and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. How could this be possible? It was impossible for him to be photographed. How did they do it?

Hui Jin couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing how to answer. The military policeman opposite looked at Hui Jin deeply and said seriously, "You only need to answer yes or no!"

Hui Jing opened her mouth and said helplessly, "It's me in the photo...but..."

"No but! Only this place, that is, you, showed up near the place where Brigadier General Hughes was killed. No one else appeared nearby. In other words, you are the only suspect. Therefore, it can be concluded that you are

Murderer!" The military policeman looked at the ashes, with an imperceptible smile on his lips, and said slowly.

"Where's the murder weapon? Where's the motive? You don't have any conclusive evidence at all. Don't you know that the crime is innocent? There is a society governed by the rule of law!" Hui Jin tried hard to defend himself.

The military policeman finally showed a smile and said with a smile, "No doubt of the crime? I've never heard of it. Which country's laws are you talking about? And the murder weapon... Have you forgotten your own profession?"

"Profession, isn't it the national alchemist? I...I tm" Ashes covered his forehead and became annoyed.

How could I have forgotten this matter? Alchemists are known as humanoid weapons. Besides, even if they are real murder weapons, they can be destroyed by alchemy... The most important thing is that the one who attacked Hughes in the phone booth... still tm

It’s really yourself.
