After the group arrived at the Sheep Tavern, they quickly obtained the specific location of Mance's residence through inquiries.
"I'll go first to investigate the situation, and then you will enter through the main entrance; in addition, A-Xia, watch Lightning and Maisie, don't let them both come in," Nightingale instructed, then spread out the fog and disappeared directly in front of everyone. In the world of black and white, the lines that formed the outline of everything twisted, and she easily found a gap in the wall that did not exist, and walked in through the wall.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, not much better than that of Shovel's home. It seems that since losing his position as a patrolman, Mance's life has been quite difficult. There was a clear vision in the field of vision, which proved that there was no annoying God's Retaliation Stone nearby. Nightingale quickly found the target in the bedroom - a man was curled up in the bed and slept soundly, hanging on the cuff of his coat around the bed. You can also see bloodstains.
Nightingale returned to the living room, opened the door, and the police rushed in, pushing Mance, who had just woken up from the bed, to the bed again, and then tied it tightly.
"Who, who are you... let go of me!" he shouted in horror.
"You have been arrested for multiple murders, Mance!" Ren stepped forward and slapped him twice, making him quiet for a moment, "You dare to oppose His Royal Highness, and hang you at the gate of the city! "
"I... I didn't... "
"No?" Earl Elk replaced his slap with a fist, and with two muffled thumps, Mance opened his mouth in pain, his mouth was full of blood, and one of his front teeth was missing, "We all saw your murder last night. What else is there to quibble about? Stun the shovel with the dream water, don't want to be splashed with blood, hang first and then cut the throat, it's quite a trick!"
"..." Mance's eyes showed disbelief and deep fear.
"Kill the rat who reported the work, and draw the crossed crown with blood... Whose order is this?" Nightingale picked up a glass bottle from the bedside, which contained half a bottle of light cyan liquid, "Dreamland water is not cheap, and After the rat gang was wiped out, it was not easy to buy this kind of thing again.
"I… "
"If you honestly explain, there may be a way to survive," Ren squeezed his fists, "otherwise I will let you taste the anger of a nobleman."
Nightingale didn't stop it, even though she knew that Earl Elk was lying. As His Royal Highness said, the security of the territory is the most important, and those who destroy it should learn enough lessons.
While Mance was still hesitating, his fist landed on him again.
This time it was the abdomen and ribs. Ren, who had been trained by the knight, was very precise in the strength, which could make the target painful without causing fatal damage.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Lord, please let me go! It was a... a guy from the inner city who asked me to do this! For every person I killed, he would give me four golden dragons as a reward, and he said something like this Come, the people will have resentment against the police, and feel that these black uniforms are unable to protect everyone, and the patrol team can be rebuilt!"
Mance collapsed. He was not a strong-willed person, or in other words, a strong-willed person would not serve as a patrolman who plundered others, nor would he take four lives for the reward of a few golden dragons. Nightingale thought, maybe before he started, he would never have imagined that he would be targeted by the Ministry of Justice so quickly, and he would never have expected that someone would be able to find him in a big city with a population of 20,000 in just four days.
He wept bitterly as he explained what happened, blood and snot all over his collar.
"I don't know how he found me. The first time we met was in a tavern. He gave me this bottle of dream water and said that if I did what he said, I could get a lot of money. At that time I I had no savings, and the police force didn't accept my application, so when I hated it in my heart... I did it."
"The police will never accept a scum like you," Ren said.
"Do you know that person's name or identity?" Nightingale asked.
"I have no idea."
"you are lying."
"I really do not know!"
Nightingale looked at Ren, who immediately understood, raised her hand and punched again, "This lord is a witch, and his ability is to distinguish lies. To lie in front of her, I think you are tired of living! Don't challenge me! Our patience!"
"No, my lord, I'm just… just not sure," Mance screamed, "because he never told me his name and identity!"
"Not sure what that means?"
"I also wondered why he made such a big deal. He obviously doesn't look like a nobleman. When he made an appointment two days ago, he came in a hurry, and his clothes were a little weird, like a coat on top of his coat." He panted. , "And the one inside seems to be a uniform, and I also saw a petal-shaped emblem on his neckline."
"Petal emblem?" Nightingale and Ren looked at each other, "Honeysuckle family emblem?"
"That's why I'm not sure, everyone knows that the Hermon family is the lord's supporter, how could they secretly oppose Lord Wimbledon." Mance lowered his head and said.
"Peiro is definitely not such a person, someone else must be playing tricks," Ren affirmed, "Anyway, they meet every day, or we set up a set and let that guy sneak in."
It seems that this is the only way. Instead of guessing randomly, it is better to wait until Mance "claims the reward" and captures the other party in one fell swoop, and then he will understand everything. Nightingale nodded, but in her heart she always felt that she had overlooked something.
The other party didn't lie, and the information was true. What's wrong
"Sister Nightingale, are you guys okay?" Lightning shouted from outside the door.
"The meeting is almost over, Goo, we have to go back Goo!"
Considering that there would be some rude behavior during the arrest, she deliberately let the three of them stay outside, and when she heard the word "meeting" in Maisie's mouth, Nightingale had a bang in her head.
and many more! His Royal Highness is meeting with nobles in the hall to discuss the establishment of a new city hall!
This meant that he did not have a personal guard by his side, and the nearest one stayed outside the hall.
If this person is really a member of the Honeysuckle Family, he will definitely be able to enter the castle and the first floor hall unhindered, but he will never be able to set foot on the second and third floors dedicated to His Royal Highness - but he is not beside His Royal Highness Roland!
"Lightning!" Nightingale couldn't take care of Earl Elk, Mance, and the others, and rushed out of the house, grabbing Lightning's shoulder and shouting, "Take me back to the castle, His Highness may be in danger!"
"Ah? Alright... Hold me tight," the latter, although extremely surprised, didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he carried the Nightingale on his back and flew straight towards the castle area. With a load, the height of the lightning would drop significantly, but The speed can still be maintained at about 100 kilometers per hour, flying along the street, and it only takes half a minute to reach the destination.
Nightingale hoped that she thought too much, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt. The murder started three days ago, and that happened to be the day Peiro's letter of help arrived in the border area. If the other party's real purpose was to use these cases to attract everyone's attention and draw her away from Roland , that would be too bad.
As they approached the castle, Nightingale escaped into the fog and rushed into the hall from mid-air, her heart sank to the bottom. I saw that the conference room was in chaos. The nobles seemed to be greatly frightened. They all leaned against the wall and talked a lot. The guards were blocking the scene. The long table that should belong to His Royal Highness Roland was empty. On the ground, life and death were unknown, and the dark curtain of the Stone of God's Punishment covered his body.
