It was almost dusk when Glenn finally sold all the black pigs he had brought in, earning a total of 2,400 copper coins, and his pockets were visibly bulging.
I have finally escaped poverty temporarily, and I can take care of myself! I will prepare some delicious dishes and go back to make hot pot. By the way, I don’t know how Leila and Bonnie are doing. They must have been scared yesterday. I will go and see them after buying vegetables. After all, I am not immune to such things Glenn cleaned up the mess on the ground and planned to put the garbage on the cart and take it away, otherwise the street cleaning workers would make trouble for him.
However, he did not leave immediately after packing up, because a group of people in plain clothes were walking towards him.
Glenn had noticed these people a long time ago and had been watching him sell pork from the outside, but only took action now.
Dude's police officers? Glenn guessed their identities. In his previous life, he had dealt with people of this profession many times and was very familiar with their temperament, words and deeds.
Is this Mr. Glenn? We are police officers from Dude. Can we talk? The captain with a moustache went straight to the point.
Police officer? Glenn pretended to be confused and a little flustered. Did I do something wrong?
Of course he knew why the police were looking for him. He thought that Leila and Bonnie had called the police, so they would naturally look for relevant personnel to conduct an investigation.
Relax sir, we're just asking a few questions. This involves a case, please cooperate with us. A younger police officer at the back smiled and soothed.
Glenn let out a long sigh and said, Then ask me. I will tell you everything I know.
Thank you for your cooperation. The captain took out a small notebook and a pen, and said in a businesslike tone, Your full name is Glennibank, right?
That's the name I use now. My previous name was Dylannibankru.
Not knowing how the official information in this world is transmitted, Glenn still revealed the name of the original owner. If he concealed it, it would be difficult to explain if they came after him because of incorrect information.
The captain quickly wrote something in a small notebook, looked up and said, May I ask why the name was changed?
Something happened, and I want to make some closure, officer.
The captain seemed to be thinking about something, and continued to ask: At this time yesterday, Miss Leila and Miss Bonnie were at your house, right?
Yes.
Do you know Leila's father, Bob?
No.
The questioning only lasted about ten minutes, and all the questions were about the basic situation yesterday.
Finally, the captain asked Glenn with a very strange tone and look: Do you really live in Bayek?
Yes, is there any problem with that, officer? Glenn was a little curious about the captain's attitude.
It's nothing, just be well. The captain smiled, then looked around slightly, leaned close to Glenn's ear, and whispered, When I was the captain of the police station, I was told not to get close to that place unless it was absolutely necessary.
Glenn was startled, and his curiosity grew.
You must have been deceived into buying the house there, right? Believe me, kid, if you can, you should move out as soon as possible. It won't do you any harm.
After saying that, the captain left with his police officers.
It seems that the government of this kingdom knows about the town of Bayek, but why doesn't it care? There are many evil-looking creatures in it Glenn thought quietly for a while, but soon shook his head, pulled the car to a corner, and went to buy groceries.
Captain, there is still no clue. What should we do? That young man doesn't seem to be related to this matter.
Shortly after leaving Central Street, the police officer next to the moustache asked.
Maybe. The captain's words were ambiguous. At least he is not in the same group with those people.
If they commit crimes again, it will cause panic in the town, a police officer said worriedly.
These guys probably won't come out to commit crimes for a while. The captain said as he walked.
Why? all the team members asked in unison.
Every time they choose their targets outside the town, it means they dare not commit crimes in the town. What is there in the town that they are worried about? If they dare to do such a thing, they will not be afraid of us police officers, at least not so afraid that they dare not commit crimes in the town. It is related to the big man who came to our town recently, that is, Berlin. They are afraid that the great knight Berlin will take action. There are only a few families with children outside, and they have all been killed. Places farther away are not our responsibility. Now they can only set their targets in the town. They should remain dormant until Berlin leaves.
After the captain with the moustache made this analysis, the police officers behind him seemed to understand it.
But Lord Berlin only arrived in town the day before yesterday, and the disappearance of children started five days ago?
a police officer questioned.
The captain's expression remained unchanged. The news that Berlin was coming to Dude spread a week ago. If a crime was committed during this period, it would surely spread throughout the town. When Berlin arrived, if he heard about it, given the character of the great knight, he would probably take action directly. Berlin has the heart of a knight, so the possibility of finding them is very high. How could the other party not consider this result?
Then why don't we ask Lord Berlin to help us? That way we can quickly find the perpetrators, right?
Ah The captain sighed, I went to look for him, but the mayor wouldn't let me see Berlin. He said Berlin wouldn't stay in the town for long. There were important things waiting for him to do, and he wouldn't let him spend his time on things like this.
After saying that, the police officers all showed dejection. The captain looked back and said in a serious tone, Listen! You are a bunch of losers! Can't we solve the case without relying on others?! Don't forget what you are wearing! It is our job to bring the criminals to justice!
Being suddenly reprimanded, everyone shuddered and responded loudly: Yes! Captain!
Don't stop the daily patrols. We will find them sooner or later.
Metz College.
Glenn fell silent as he looked at the iron gate in front of him. The large iron lock on it indicated that the academy did not welcome outsiders.
He took a few steps forward, and the fallen leaves on the stone road made a crisp sound.
The iron gate is composed of vertical black iron bars and symmetrical spiral patterns, giving it an old English style.
Glenn leaned forward slightly and looked at the campus buildings inside the iron gate. The ochre-colored spires stood quietly, and the mixed sounds of lectures reached his ears.
It looks like they are in class Glenn straightened his back and suddenly felt as if someone was looking at him.
He looked up and found that the gaze seemed to come from the stone sculptures of crows carved on the stone pillars on both sides of the iron gate.
This should be an ordinary school, right? There shouldn't be any magical creations there, right? Hmm maybe ordinary schools have them, but ordinary students don't know about them, including the predecessor Glenn lowered his head and stopped looking.
This time he followed the smell and wanted to check on the two girls, Leila and Bonnie, fearing that something might have happened. But now it seemed that the two girls should be fine, and he couldn't just barge in and risk being misunderstood.
As I turned around and was about to leave, I caught some different sounds in my ears.
Is there something going on? He glanced in the direction where the sound came from, guessing it wasn't far away, so he walked towards it along the wall.
