Walking out of Qiao Heng's mansion, the female investigator felt refreshed and indescribable comfort.

She looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already past the get off work time, so she drove to a restaurant in the city. In the seat she had made an appointment, she saw her boyfriend waiting for her.

It was a middle-aged man with a calm personality and appearance. He handed the menu to his girlfriend and asked with a smile: "How is it, is things going well?

"Just read the script, that old bastard dared not say anything, but his eyes really made me feel the urge to insert it with a knife and dig out my eyes hard."

The female investigator curled her lips and waved to the waiter standing not far away. She stroked the recipe with her slender and white fingers, ordered a few casually, then put the menu aside, picked up the wine in the goblet and took a sip of the pre-dinner wine in the goblet, dipped it in the lip, lowered her voice, and asked in a low voice: "Why is this case handed over to the Finance and Audit Office for handling? This is obviously not in line with the rules."

Not only Qiao Heng, but also the female investigator's heart was full of question marks.

My boyfriend used his thumb to smooth the beard above his lips with his thumb, lit a cigarette, and smiled faintly.

"This case is much more complicated than you think. When I first received the report from the Qiao family, I also thought it was a vicious murder. You know, from my point of view, I really hope to see that old bastard Qiao Heng suffer. Of course, revenge is revenge, and when facing the case, I still have to maintain a fair perspective."

"just?"

The female investigator snorted coldly: "You didn't see the face of Qiao Heng talking to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't say "just"."

"Under the premise of justice, it is okay to be slightly biased. But it must be within a legal and reasonable range."

My boyfriend was smoking slowly, and his voice gradually became low and deep: "This matter is complicated. Brigadier General Badam, the commander of the infantry 44 Pei, intervened directly. He asked me to send the most serious and responsible investigators. He made it clear in the communication: You must be impartial and respect the truth. So I sent Xiao Luke out. You know, he is the best among young people, ambitious, but very sensible in his work. Xiao Luke has no background. If he wants to go up, he must be absolutely pure in his resume and impeccable."

The female investigator agreed very much and nodded gently: "What did he find there?"

"You were transferred back halfway through to participate in the later related matters of this case, so naturally I didn't have the chance to see the original information sent back by Little Luke."

My boyfriend blew up the ashes, took a sip of the wine before the meal, and said in an equally low voice: "Those photos are very bloody, and the murderers' methods are extremely cruel. Even my veteran who has seen too many crime scenes feels frightened. If you are interested and feel that it will not have a negative effect on your appetite, you can check it out."

As he said that, he took out his personal communicator from his top breast pocket, rotated it to the information player function, and handed it over.

The micro screen can directly generate images on the surface of the retina in the form of particles according to the viewer's specific needs. In this way, even a picture of a thumb-sized image can be seen clearly by the viewer without attracting the attention of the surrounding people.

It was a video taken at the scene of the incident.

There were scattered flesh and blood limbs everywhere, dozens of wooden poles were erected on the roadside, with human corpses inserted on it. Due to the difference between shooting time and fighting time, the corpses were already rotten, and the dead were no longer human-shaped. The rotten flesh and blood like pulp looked like it was in the melting stage, and the blood had already dried up, and the scattered human bones were everywhere, and there were black marks on the ground. In addition to feces, there were rotten meat and dirty blood.

The person who can become an Imperial Crime Investigation Department has been trained in thinking and nerve endurance. The female investigator has been in this department for a long time, and of course she is not a rookie who just came in. She has investigated dozens of corpse-breaking cases and has taken over many serious cases such as dismemberment, corpse eating, and murder. However, no case of this case can be compared with these terrible scenes in front of her. Even the most brutal murderer and ogre, or the perverted guys who throw a little girl into a strong acid dissolution and use hooks to decompose the human body on a rainy night can't do such a fierce and cruel behavior. It's really shocking, especially when she saw a crow falling from the sky, standing on the head of a rotten corpse, picking up rotten meat and tasting the scene with relish, the female investigator only felt a chuckle in her stomach, recalling the three-point cooked charcoal steak she had just ordered, and instantly lost her appetite.

"The people who live in border areas all year round are not comparable to those of the self-defeating and cruel criminals in the empire."

The boyfriend was obviously immunized by this video. He leaned out, reached out and turned off the communicator, and said meaningfully: "They attach great importance to their own interests and will never allow anyone to interfere. Not to mention snatching away what should be their own. Things are very simple. Qiao Heng has messed with someone he shouldn't be messed with, and Konoha Town is definitely not a place he can get involved. However, his son, the dead Qiao Wenhan, is still a smart guy, who knows to leave a battle record as evidence. Haha, if he had investigated in advance, he would definitely not do stupid things like setting up a card fee."

The female investigator picked up the water and took a big sip, pulled open the bag, took out the sniffing salt and leaned close to the nostrils and sucked it a few times. Only then did she feel her mind becoming clear again, not as uncomfortable as before.

While wiping her nose with a handkerchief, she asked vaguely: "Why, Infantry 44 Pei is secretly supporting Konoha Town? Supporting the man named Su Hao

"I can't guess what Brigadier General Badam's specific intention is."

The boyfriend shook his head: "However, the decisive factor in this matter is actually not the local garrison, but the main legion of the "Iron Warriors"."

The female investigator exclaimed in a low voice: "Iron Warriors? How could he get them?"

"My thoughts at that time were similar to those of you now."

The boyfriend replied with a wry smile: "The detailed information about the case was also transmitted from the Information Management Office of the "Iron Warriors" Legion. According to the documents they submitted, Su Hao is a major officer with a formal identity and recognized by the Imperial Military Department. He and his armed personnel are all servants of the "Iron Warriors" Legion. With this relationship, Qiao Wenhan's behavior of setting up a fee site in that area has become Yushe's internal affairs. Even if he sets the fee site within a radius of 44 Pei Station, it is also considered illegal. The difference is that if the Imperial Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Transport jointly issued the removal of the site documents, the time would be delayed a little longer, and no one would die because of it. But if it were a person from Konoha Town, that is, Su Hao himself took action, things would be like this."

The female investigator did not speak and fell into silence.

The murderer is Su Hao, which is the consensus of all the participants in the Imperial Crime Investigation Department. This does not require any reasoning or thinking logic. The video that Qiao Wenhan ordered someone to take at that time has clearly confirmed this point. The key question is: Does this video have real legal effect? ​​Can it pose a threat to Su Hao?

Judging from the current situation, the answer is of course no.

“Little Luke was well received in Konoha Town.”

My boyfriend's words were sarcastic: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking nonsense on purpose. He met the guy named Su Hao and was able to talk to him. According to Xiao Luke, it was a guy who was very sunny, confident and had a very high reputation among the locals. They treated Xiao Luke very well. The local specialty seemed to be fresh werewolf barbecue, and Xiao Luke even ate garlic-roasted spider-demon tenderloin. The place had wars with dark creatures all year round, and it was everywhere.

Dark hunters and mercenaries, even dark creatures with human appearance, will still be used as food sources... In short, Little Luke was very happy in Konoha Town, which was a very good trip for him. He met a few beautiful girls there, and it is inevitable that such things are young people are. He knows what Little Luke said to me after he comes back? He actually had the idea of ​​leaving the Crime Investigation Department and taking him to the border to be a mercenary."

The female investigator could understand her boyfriend's thoughts at the moment. The staff under her will want to resign after a mission, which should be more or less a mistake from his boss. Of course, you can also have an idea of ​​Konoha Town from another perspective. Although it is a border area, it does not have the darkness and sin as imagined. It should be a human town that is truly suitable for settlement.

She knew the young investigator named Little Luke. He never lies and was full of energy and motivation. Such young people are often easily tempted by the fog in front of them, but they also have their own way of understanding the world. In other words, the investigation report written by Little Luke should be true and credible.

"So, what do other entourage say?"

"The arguments are almost the same as those of Luke."

My boyfriend sighed and smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Their crime investigation report is almost written as a travel experience. The description of Konoha Town is very detailed, with personnel composition, occupational distribution, weapons and equipment and material transfer and basic output, etc., but it is just a brief introduction to the crime itself. How can I say it looks like an outing essay written by a primary school student, and it has almost nothing to do with the word "murder". I sent all the documents back and let them rewrite it. If I handed it over like this, I will definitely face a lot of unimaginable troubles."

The female investigator understood the meaning she wanted to express in her boyfriend's words. She asked seriously: "Is this the attitude towards the case?"

"The Iron Warriors Legion has intervened. And it is the most direct type."

My boyfriend's expression began to appear solemn: "I saw a document in the minister's office, which was sent by Lieutenant General of the Steinbega Technician of the "Iron Warriors" Legion. They have listed Konoha Town as the main legion's key transfer hub, and even planned to build a small military yard there. I bet that if Qiao Heng knew about these things in advance and gave him a hundred heads, he would never dare to make a fuss about the issue of setting up a card fee. I have checked the relevant records. The founder of Konoha Town is indeed Qiao Tianyu, the son of Qiao Heng. However, he transferred most of the equity of Konoha Town to Su Hao, thus giving up his jurisdiction there. Something we don't know must have happened in this. But this is not important and has nothing to do with this case."

The female investigator relaxed her body and leaned against her seat in a very comfortable position, with a smile on her face: "As you say that, all the people in the Qiao family are in vain?"

The boyfriend nodded for granted: "The border area is not an imperial territory. Here, let alone murder, even verbally threatened in the communication, it will be treated as a threatening case. Do you remember the case that was sentenced last month? The son asked his father to take out two thousand gold coins for marriage, but the father refused, and then the son directly threatened to kill him on the phone. The judge convicted his son and sentenced him to two years of hard labor. However, in the border area, in areas outside the jurisdiction of the local garrison, no matter what you do, there is no law to restrict you. Moreover, Su Hao's testimony in the relevant documents also said: there are dark creatures everywhere. The toll station itself does not have any fortifications, and the weapons and equipment are also very ordinary. This account can only be recorded on the dark creatures."

Having said that, the time was almost the same. The waiter quickly brought up all kinds of dishes. When the steaming steak was placed in front of him, appetite became the dominant consciousness in his mind, and he would not think of more.

When the steak was cut into the steak with a knife, the female investigator suddenly thought of something: "You haven't answered my original question yet. Why did the Finance Audit Office take over this case? This is not in line with the rules."

The boyfriend stuffed a piece of tender beef into his mouth, feeling the teeth tearing the fibers of the shredded meat, and also showed a very complacent smile.

"Qiao Heng has been making your own ideas. Do you think I will let this kind of thing continue under my nose? I made some moves on the time when Qiao Wenhan sets up a toll station and moved the real time limit forward for a week. To outsiders, of course, it is not worth making a fuss. But for the Imperial Ministry of Finance, it means that there is a week of malicious concealment of taxes. Of course, they have reason to intervene, and they can also check Qiao Heng's old secrets. I have talked with the people from the Audit Office, and the audit team can arrange for one of our people. As long as you seize this opportunity, you may find an opportunity to defeat Qiao Heng."

Space realm, under Viscount Sazabi, and Sir Bornon.

The slave residence outside the manor was covered with flames. The burly Bonon stood on the manor wall more than ten meters high with a long sword. He was trembling all over and stared at the outside with his red eyes.

The battle was carried out completely in a way that no one expected. The enemy came from the territory of Count Lasson to the north, with a total of about two thousand people. The leading guy was a knight named Saben.

The battle inside and outside the manor was bloody and fierce, and several soldiers died every minute. They had too many people, and they had an overwhelming numerical advantage against the armed guards of Sir Bornon, which had only more than 300 men under him. A considerable number of cavalry among the enemy were strong and strong. The patrol team outside the manor suffered the first misfortune, with more than 20 heads inserted at the top of the wooden stakes. All kinds of fortifications set outside the city were occupied in just over a dozen minutes. The knights tied the prisoners behind, dragged them with horses, and ran back and forth in the manor. While the sandstorms were raising the sky, the air was filled with screams and blood.

The city walls could no longer act as a defensive effect. From time to time, strange and harsh sounds came from outside, which seemed to be a weapon for long-range projection. Every time they were launched, Sir Bornong had several people screaming and falling from the city, and then they were rushed up by the enemies guarding the city, and in an instant they were chopped into a pile of meat sauce.

This kind of fighting style was cruel and ruthless. The other party did not hold back from the beginning, and always tortured the rebels with the most cruel means. In the past hour, they pushed up as many as hundreds of prisoners to the city gate, and used a knife to pluck out the eyes of the prisoners of war with a knife, cut off their tongues, penetrated the whole body with steel chisel, pulled out the scalp and poured mercury from the top of their heads, or poured the whole body with grease, and then ignited a fire, and the perpetrator himself stood beside him, watching the dying person who was wrapped in flames and screaming all the way.

As soon as the battle began, Sir Bornon immediately sent a messenger to Viscount Sazabi's castle for help. However, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the messenger had been intercepted and killed halfway.

Sir Bornon knew Saben. It was two years ago when he was ordered to go to the Earl Larson Castle for trade. Saben was a passionate and generous man. But now, looking at the man riding on a dark horse, standing outside the city, covered with heavy armor, and not saying a word, Sir Bornon felt strange and instinctively afraid.

"Bangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang

A heavy siege hammer was pushed over, and the front end made of steel hit the dull. Sir Bornon attached great importance to his manor defense, and the gate also spent a lot of money and was completely made of fine iron. However, under the damage of the heavy siege hammer, the steel gate could not be supported for too long. With each impact, the surface of the gate would be hit with sparks. Soon, the thick door panels were dents everywhere, and even cracks that could transmit light appeared.

Surely can't stand it anymore.

Sir Bornon, in despair, brought all his family to the top of the city, intending to kill his relatives first when the city breaks, and then commit suicide by wielding his sword.

This is a routine in war. If you die, it is better than being sold as a slave in the future.
