Swish…!
A group of investigators raised their flintlock rifles towards Chen Lun.
"interesting… "
Chen Lun pulled the brim of his hat and smiled.
"What are you doing?"
Mona had a cold face and stood in front of Chen Lun.
She glanced at the young man in the lead and said:
“Captain Walker, the situation is unclear right now. There is no definite evidence to prove that Mr. Jack is the murderer… I can also testify that he was the main force in preventing this incident. Without him, the consequences would be disastrous.
In addition, the arrest warrant signed by Special Agent Roderick is also under discussion. He died in this incident, and I should take over the follow-up work. "
The young man whom she called Team Leader Walker looked at her and raised his voice:
"Ms. Mona, I'm sorry to tell you that you are just an ordinary investigator and are not qualified to take over... And as the top leader of the Amber City Shelter, Special Agent Roderick is dead, but you are standing here. It's hard not to suspect that you are a traitor."
His tone turned cold:
"Testify? You should come back to the shelter with us and undergo an interrogation first."
Mona narrowed her eyes and glanced at her colleagues.
Chen Lun watched all this with great interest. He was not afraid of the investigators from the shelter. Except for the team leader who had reached Sequence 8, the other investigators were just ordinary people.
He wanted to leave, but these people couldn't keep him.
The people from the Moon Church remained silent, and no one knew what their attitude was. The middle-aged bishop in the lead should be a Sequence 7 Mid-Sequence Transcendent.
Chen Lun looked at Mona's back and knew that this famous official figure in his previous life was not as simple as he seemed.
If you want to sit firmly in a high position in the shelter as a mortal, faith alone is not enough...
She has a very impressive background.
All!
Suddenly, there was a slight sound from Walker's shirt pocket.
He frowned and immediately took out a palm-sized notepad.
When he opened it, his face changed slightly.
“… put the gun down.”
Team leader Walker gritted his teeth.
The other investigators didn't understand why, but they still put down their flintlocks.
"The Chief Judge of Fossil City has issued an order that all matters concerning the Amber City Shelter will be handed over to Team Leader Mona..."
Walker took a deep breath and handed the notepad in his hand to Mona.
Mona took it and glanced at the words on it, but there was no joy on her face. She asked an investigator for a pen and started writing on the notepad.
"Team Leader Mona, please forgive me for any offense I have just caused."
Walker said in a deep voice with a straight face.
No matter how dumb he was, he knew that the promotion commission suddenly issued by the superiors was not simple. The seemingly ordinary female investigator in front of him might have a close relationship with the chief judge.
"Team Leader Walker, I'll ask you to lead the team to deal with the aftermath, but you have to do it as quickly as possible... especially to eliminate the negative impact of this incident."
Mona didn't respond to his words, but raised her eyes and gave the order.
She immediately handed the notepad back.
"I have already communicated with the Chief Judge. I will report the whole process of this incident in detail after I return..."
"yes."
Faced with Mona's avoidance, Walker secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party would not pursue the matter.
"I have contacted the police station. They will organize personnel to seal off the scene, evacuate nearby people, and make proper arrangements..."
After he finished speaking, he saw Mona nod, and then he led his investigators to disperse.
Chen Lun watched all this and knew that his situation was temporarily stable. He no longer had to worry about being restricted in his daily activities because of the wanted order.
The senior management behind Mona gave her timely help, which in a sense also helped herself.
"Ms. Mona, Grandma Moonlight is watching Amber, and we believers are willing to offer our help."
The middle-aged bishop spoke at this time.
Mona performed a Moon Church prayer to him.
"Praise the Moonlight... Thank you for your help, Bishop Boswell. Please lead the monks to collect the body and arrange the funeral. I'm afraid it will be very busy for some time to come."
The middle-aged bishop nodded.
"May the deceased rest in peace. It is our duty to send them back to the moon."
He whispered a few words to the black-robed monks around him, and then they remained silent and began to move the rubble in the ruins, searching for the bodies buried underneath.
Methodical, quick and skilled.
For some reason, when Chen Lun looked at this group of people, he always recalled some memes from the gaming forum in his previous life.
For example, some players took screenshots of a traveling team of black-robed monks from the Moon Church, and added text such as "Let's come to hold Nima's funeral", "Professional team, ready to take orders" and "As soon as the coffin is lifted and buried, everyone says 'Gudebai'" to make emoticons.
Soon, the bodies of the circus leader, Beckman, Roderick, and other guests were found. The spirits of these three mid-sequence transcendents had been drained by the Bone Gallery and turned into corresponding oil paintings, so their bodies were fortunately preserved.
But the aftermath of the battle and the fire made the bodies look unrecognizable.
Chen Lun did not stay here to disturb their work, and took Flo Yin to the outside of the gallery.
"Mr. Jack, please rest assured. I will urge the shelter to restore your reputation as soon as possible and cancel the wanted notice. If you have any questions, you can find me through the public mailbox on First Street. The zip code is 705302X."
Mona came to Chen Lun and said softly.
"Thank you very much for your help, Miss Mona."
“This is what I should do.”
Chen Lun took off his hat, bowed, then put it back on his head and left with Fuluoyin.
Mona looked at their backs and sighed.
Finally, I accepted the teacher's help...
Now when I think back to the solemn promises I made to my teacher when I left the Royal Academy, I can't help but feel embarrassed.

Things gradually began to ferment.
Although the shelter took timely action and blocked Bradley Square, saying that an accidental explosion had occurred there, the area needed to be renovated and rebuilt.
They also went door to door, forcing residents who witnessed the extraordinary battle on the day of the incident to sign a confidentiality agreement.
But the people’s gossip could not be stopped, and the matter still spread privately, especially among the powerful circles.
Many important people died in the inner city this time, which shocked the dignitaries. Unlike the previous Garden Hotel incident and the assassination of Councillor Daniel, this time it really affected them.
Many old nobles jointly submitted a petition and reported the matter to the main city of Fossil. However, when they thought that the empire would send people to appease and compensate them, they only received a simple warning letter.
Soon, the circle of powerful people in Amber City fell into silence.
Because Earl Bradley, who had the loudest voice, was arrested immediately for "endangering the security of the empire" and all his property was confiscated. The asylum even produced relevant evidence to prove the relationship between his wife and the felon Beckman, and the key role he played in the middle.
A small number of insiders deeply understood that it didn't matter whether Earl Bradley was an accomplice or not. What mattered was that the empire chose to suppress the matter.
If they continue to make trouble, Earl Bradley's fate will be the best portrayal.
In addition, regarding what happened in the square that day, the black-haired young man with black wings on his back gradually became a legend in Amber City.
Awe and gratitude slowly took root in the hearts of the people.
They called him the "Black Messenger" and some even regarded him as an object of faith.
