As the direct eldest son of the Winston family, August naturally knew some top-secret information.
Now that the battle for imperial power in the Omar Empire has basically ended, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been completely banished away from the core full force circle.
The future emperor of Omar, the current eldest prince Quentin, has already extended an olive branch to their glorious city not long ago and has even signed an alliance contract.
Don't look at it now, August is just the eldest son of a big family. But before long, he will be the prince of the "Glorious Principality", and his status is no worse than that of the exiled eldest princess.
Originally, the five major families had secretly communicated this time and would never allow Ymir to gain a foothold here.
But the patriarch of the Winster family, Father August, thought of a better way to speculate.
That is...marriage!
No, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is exiled, she is definitely not comparable to ordinary lords.
She has brought over almost all the ministers from the previous "renovation faction" of the Omar Empire. This is a heritage that cannot be underestimated.
There is also the mechanic army of [Storm General] Balon in the wasteland, the tutors and poor students brought from Omar Royal Academy... These are the cornerstones of establishing the territory.
What they lack now is a large mechanical city that can settle west of the "Alcoron Mountains".
Once the city is established, a brand new territory with a complete system can be established in an instant, and its strength is definitely no worse than any of the great lords in the two empires!
There is no hidden danger if this quick fat is eliminated.
But if it can be swallowed, it will definitely be a great help to the Winster family.
Even in the future, the "Glory Kingdom" will develop rapidly with this level of relationship between the Omar royal family, and it may not necessarily become the third empire.
As for Omar
Haha, the "Glory City" has never succumbed to the force of the two empires.
It was before and it will be in the future.
After the founding of the country, they and Omar had a relationship of equal allies.
Even if Quentin becomes emperor, it is absolutely impossible for him to dictate to them.
The eldest young master August naturally also regarded Ymir, the eldest princess known as the "double beauties of the empire", as a piece of fat. In his opinion, if Her Royal Highness wants to build a city, her only chance is to beg for mercy from the five major families.
Otherwise, as long as they block "Xianfeng Pass" and cut off the connection between Oma and this place, no one will be able to build a city!
If she doesn't agree now, she will suffer a loss in the wasteland in the future, and she will have to agree sooner or later.
Because the situation is now very clear. If Quentin takes over, Ymir will definitely not be able to return to Omar. To the west of the "Alcoron Mountains", asking for help from the Winster family is the only option.
... .
Halfway through the negotiation, Ymir left suddenly.
This made August very confused.
Not long after, after listening to the report from his subordinates, he realized that an assassination had occurred in the city, and a guy had used an "Ice Original Law Crystal".
And coincidentally, [Frost Sword Skill] Ymir practiced this extraordinary law.
"Crystal of the Origin Law" is a crystal formed by high-level extraordinary consumption of the power of the origin. Although it is powerful, it takes several months of cultivation to condense the crystal. Unless they are very close people, very few people would do this kind of thing.
Especially for the eldest princess of the empire, she would not easily give such things to her subordinates.
Thinking about it, he felt very curious about the identity of the man who used the law to crystallize.
... .
The assassination occurred in the Fifth District, so the troublemaker was arrested and taken to the Fifth District Sheriff's Office.
Soon, August arrived at the interrogation office of the police station easily.
He was curious about Renn's identity, so he directly asked the person in charge of the interrogation.
"Who is that guy in there?"
"Back to the young master, our true identity has not been confirmed yet. However, we checked the reward notices and found that he has a reward of 100 million on the black market of the Omar Empire."
"A reward of 100 million? Why?"
"We have no right to ask about this, so... we don't know yet."
"..."
August didn't get the information he wanted.
But he didn't expect that there was a criminal with a high bounty on his head.
He looked at the file and saw that it was only a first-level transcendent.
He was very confused at the same time. In this case, how could this guy be qualified to receive such a high bounty
Intuition told the young man that there was something strange in it.
He asked again: "You said it was Sid's Blood Marquis, Qi Ming Dracula, who wanted to kill him?"
Interrogator: "Yes, I was accompanied by a soul warlock from the Cid royal family and an assassin. According to the witness testimony, the assassin killed on the street should be the Weasel Phantom Thief wanted by Omar." Quinn, the leader of the group. And the one who took action to kill was [White Wolf] Bazel. I don’t know why they suddenly started fighting in the street... "
"You haven't asked why they are fighting?"
Hearing this, August's curiosity was completely aroused.
A dignified member of the Sid royal family would travel thousands of miles to intercept and kill a wanted criminal with a 100 million bounty on his head, and in the middle, the "Top Ten Legendary" [White Wolf] Bazel would show up to disrupt the situation. This sounds a bit ridiculous. head.
However, if you think with your toes, you can guess that the purpose of the interception is definitely not simple.
Thinking about it, August asked what he was most concerned about, and said, "What's going on with Ymir Spuglin?"
Interrogator: "Based on the conclusion of our preliminary interrogation, these are two unrelated conflicts. It should be that the movement on the street attracted the people of the Omar royal family, and because of the previous incident at 'Storm Lake', that The subordinates of the eldest princess wanted to kill Qi Ming Dracula, who was a vampire, so another conflict occurred... "
August also felt that this statement was the most reasonable.
After all, he had been negotiating with the eldest princess before.
"Have you asked me about the relationship between this person who released ice crystals and Princess Oma?"
"No. According to the rules, he belongs to the party of self-defense, and our Public Security Department has no right..."
"Torture him immediately. We must find out the whole story."
"But, Master, the law stipulates that we have no rights..."
"No but, what I say is the rule now! I suspect that person is a spy trying to undermine the stability of our glorious city. Let's search him first to see if he has any dangerous items on him. If he doesn't cooperate, ask the [Interrogator] to come Forced interrogation!”
"..."
... .
It is said that the "Glory City" law enforcement team is impartial and impartial. No one can interfere with the interrogation of the Public Security Department, and everything is done in accordance with the legal regulations. Just like the contribution system, it is the foundation of "fairness" in this city.
But... that was once.
Ever since his teacher was arrested, Renn didn't believe that the so-called Public Security Department had any illusions.
With a privileged class, the law will be trampled upon.
However, he knew that even if Ymir didn't come, Bazel would definitely try to get him out.
I originally wanted to dress up and stay with my grandson for a while, but I didn't want to go to the trouble and come to the door.
The questions were all normal at first, but when the chief interrogator returned from a trip, the questions became a bit sharp and deteriorated.
There were a hundred people on the street who could witness and prove that Renne was the "assassinated" party. Therefore, all his actions were self-defense and logically did not violate any laws.
The gentle questioning attitude before was the normal rhythm.
He should never have been subjected to any prisoner interrogation.
But now, as soon as this guy comes in, he has to take off his clothes and check the storage ring
... ..
"What, you want to search my storage ring?"
Although important things are placed in the folding space, Renn has no intention of giving these guys a chance to attack.
Vaguely, he guessed that someone might be behind it.
Either they are from the five major families, or they are the blood clan of Sid.
After being injected with healing medicine, the injury on his neck was basically unharmed.
He asked directly: "Mr. Interrogator, as the victim, why do I still need to be searched? Isn't this the treatment only prisoners have?"
The interrogator sneered: "Haha, you almost destroyed half the street just now! Our Public Security Department has the right to investigate any hidden dangers that we think may affect the safety of the city..."
Hearing this, Ren narrowed his eyes, stared at him, and questioned: "Really? The laws of the Glory City stipulate that you have this right?"
"Haha, are you talking to me about the law?"
The interrogator's eyes showed a look of contempt, and he snorted coldly: "Don't you know that our Public Security Department represents the supreme law of the Glory City? Do you think I have this right?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the interrogation room became a little tense.
After hearing this, Ren completely understood that these guys wanted to play tricks under the light, and they were probably planning to come to the "dark prison".
There is no retreat from this step.
If you retreat, these guys will push even further. Maybe they will also play "anal poking and searching" and "mental torture".
"No, you are really not qualified."
After pondering for a moment, Ren shook his head, a hint of ridicule escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, he stared directly at the three interrogators opposite him and said with utmost seriousness: "According to the 31st Article of the "Glorious City Public Security Management Regulations", if a private fight occurs in the city, the victim Each party has the right not to have their belongings checked. If they are treated unfairly, they can report it to the city lord, and the relevant personnel will be tortured..."
Tsk tsk.
I guess the justices don't even know the laws in the city well. Are you trying to play this trick on me
As expected, the three interrogators frowned upon hearing this.
Especially the guy who started the interrogation, his heart trembled when he heard the words "torture by burning".
It’s not like no colleagues have done this kind of thing before. It’s very easy to get paid to do things for others; when it comes to execution, they go very quickly.
Every word is the original text of the charter. It is absolutely not nonsense and there is no room for quibbles.
The interrogator was also confused for a moment. Why is this guy more familiar with the law than himself
... .
This law is clearly stated, and searches cannot be carried out by force.
The interrogator looked a little unnatural, and forced himself to defend himself, saying: "Then please answer why you were offered a reward by the Omar black market? The reason why we want to search you is because we suspect that you pose a huge security risk to the city... "
This is Master August's reason for calling the interrogation just now, and it works just fine.
If you are held accountable at that time, there is still an excuse.
But he didn't expect that before he finished asking, Ren Quan didn't give any face and said directly: "According to Article 15 of the "Glorious City Public Security Management Regulations", the injured party enjoys the normal rights of temporary residents and does not need to answer any questions. Personal issues unrelated to the case. If you are tortured to extract a confession, you can report it to the city lord's palace, and the relevant personnel will be punished by having their tongues pulled out... "
After a pause, he asked again with a serious face: "There are not only 100,000 but also 80,000 wanted persons in the City of Glory... I feel that why I am being rewarded has nothing to do with the incident that you are going to investigate today. Bar?"
"you... "
The interrogator's face turned ugly.
He has confirmed that the guy in front of him is definitely a legal professional, and he is probably a peer!
Otherwise, who outsider would be so bothered to memorize those boring legal provisions
What else did he want to ask next, but Ren's words directly blocked his mouth.
“According to Article 72 of the Regulations on Accepting Bribery by Public Officials, public officials who accept bribes shall be punished with a penalty of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall be dismissed from public service...”
"According to Article 99 of the "Glorious City Public Security Management Regulations", 'law enforcement officers' who know the law and break the law will be hanged, and their family members will be deprived of the right to permanent residence... "
"..."
Renn recited all the relevant laws calmly and calmly, completely calming the three guys opposite him in an instant.
This is the brilliance of Master Kawo when he built the city and set laws.
As the most impartial law enforcement department in the city, "enforcers" have the right to kill first and then punish later.
But power is like a double sword. Without restraint, power will turn into a monster that eats people.
Therefore, the "Glory City Public Security Management Regulations" are the basis of a law enforcement officer, and it is also a knife to limit the abuse of power by law enforcement officers!
The three interrogators opposite had turned very pale and were sweating profusely.
We are not afraid of the other party's identity, but we are afraid that the other party is a "peer" within the system.
Interrogation relies on the law.
Now the guy opposite knows the legal provisions of the city better than professionals like them, so how can this be fun
They really dared to torture and extract confessions, and they would definitely be the ones who died afterwards!
Although the five major families in the city are now in charge, no one dares to completely break through this layer of window paper and trample on the bottom line of the law when Master Cavo is still alive!
... .
"You...who are you?!"
Several questions were answered in an extremely professional manner, and the interrogator's expression changed.
They even speculated that someone from above had made a "private visit" incognito, specifically to test them
It's over,
Now it's all over.
They were already feeling guilty, but now they looked at Renn differently.
"You don't need to worry about who I am, how I got in, and whether I am guilty or not. You should also know... Please organize the prophecy before you ask me."
This statement is already somewhat anti-customer.
Renn's calm (pretentious) attitude had a few big words written all over his face: There is someone behind me!
The hint is very obvious, Ymir, Bazel, and I are all related.
I haven't committed any crime. If you want to play "dirty", can you still kill me to silence me
Can't be killed, haha... Just wait for the pickets to come and punish you with dismissal!
... .
Several interrogators opposite were already so frightened that their lips and teeth were trembling.
Being so familiar with legal regulations and interrogation procedures... they were 100% sure that the person facing them was a "peer" within the individual system.
Moreover, he might even be their superior!
"The law made by Master Cavo allows you to blaspheme like this?"
"Are you worthy of wearing this pure robe that symbolizes fairness and justice?"
"Did you see the scale and knife above your head?"
"..."
Ren was also excited. He wanted to show off the tiger skin and scare the guy who was holding chicken feathers as ceremonial arrows.
But unexpectedly, at this time, there was a knock on the door outside the interrogation room.
"Her Royal Highness Ymir Spurgeon, Princess of Omar, wants to visit the prison for bail."
