Chapter 128 Aftermath
Swish...!
A group of investigators raised their flintlock guns at Chen Lun.
"Interesting..."
Chen Lun pulled the brim of his hat and smiled.
"What are you doing?"
Meng Na had a cold face and stood in front of Chen Lun.
She glanced lightly, stared at the leading young man, and said:
"Team Leader Walker, the situation is unclear now. There is no definite evidence 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 unimaginable.
In addition, the wanted warrant signed by Commissioner Roderick is also subject to discussion. He died in the line of duty in this incident, and I should be the one to take over the follow-up work. ”
The young man she called Team Leader Walker looked at her and raised his voice:
"Miss Mona, I'm sorry to tell you that you are just an ordinary investigator and have no qualifications to take over... And as the top leader of the Amber City Asylum, Commissioner Roderick is dead, but you are standing here, very... It’s hard not to doubt whether you are suspected of betrayal.”
Then his tone turned cold:
"Testify? You'd better go back to the shelter with us first and undergo scrutiny."
Meng Na narrowed her eyes and scanned the group of colleagues.
Chen Lun watched all this with great interest. He was not afraid of the investigators of the shelter. Except for the team leader who had reached [Sequence 8], the other investigators were just ordinary people.
He wants to leave, but these people can't keep him.
On the other hand, the people from the Moon Church have remained silent, not knowing what their attitude is. The middle-aged bishop headed by him should be a mid-sequence extraordinary person in [Sequence 7].
Chen Lun looked at Meng Na'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 the high chair of the asylum as a mortal, faith alone is not enough...
Her background is amazing.
beep!
Suddenly there was a soft sound from the shirt pocket on Walker's chest.
He frowned and immediately took out a palm-sized note pad.
When he opened it and took a look, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"...put the gun down."
Team Leader Walker gritted his teeth.
The other investigators didn't know why, but they still put down their flintlock guns.
"The Chief Adjudicator of Fossil City conveyed an order, and all subsequent matters regarding the Amber City Asylum will be handed over to the team leader Meng Na..."
Walker took a deep breath and handed the note pad in front of Mona.
Meng Na took it and browsed the text that appeared on it, but there was no joy on her face. She asked an investigator for a pen and immediately scribbled on a legal pad.
"Team leader Meng Na, I have offended you just now, please forgive me."
Walker said solemnly with a straight face.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that the promotion appointment suddenly issued by his superiors is not an easy one. The seemingly ordinary female investigator in front of him may have a close relationship with the chief judge.
"Team Leader Walker, I will ask you to lead the team to deal with the aftermath, but as soon as possible...especially to eliminate the negative effects of this incident."
Meng Na did not respond to his words, raised her eyes and gave instructions.
She immediately handed back the note pad.
"I have finished communicating with the chief judge. I will report the whole process of this incident in detail when I get back..."
"Yes."
Faced with Mona's avoidance, Walker secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party would not pursue her case.
"I have contacted the police station. They will organize manpower to block the scene, evacuate nearby people, and make proper arrangements..."
After saying that, when he saw Meng Na nodding, he led his investigators to disperse.
Chen Lun looked at all this and knew that his situation was temporarily stable. Don't worry about being wanted and having your daily movements restricted.
The senior management behind Meng Na provided her with timely help, and in a sense, they also provided help to herself.
"Miss Mona, Grandma Yueguang is looking at Amber, and we believers are willing to help."
The middle-aged bishop spoke at this time.
Mona performed a Moon Church prayer to him.
"Praise the moonlight... I'm sorry to trouble you, Bishop Boswell. Please lead the monks to collect the body and arrange the next funeral. I'm afraid it will be very busy for a while."
The middle-aged bishop nodded.
"May the deceased rest in peace and 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 to look for the bodies buried underneath.
Methodical, quick and skillful.
For some reason, when Chen Lun looked at this group of people, he could always think of some jokes in the game forums of his previous life.
For example, some players took screenshots of the traveling team of the black-robed monks from the Moon Church, and then added the words "Come to hold a funeral for Nima", "Professional team, ready to take orders" and "As soon as the coffin is lifted, the earth is buried, each person makes a sound. Debye" and other words are made into emoticons.
Soon, the bodies of the circus ringmaster, Beckmann, Roderick and other guests were found. Among them, the spirituality of these three mid-sequence extraordinary people has been drained by the [Bone Gallery] and turned into corresponding oil paintings, so their bodies are fortunately preserved.
But the aftermath of the battle and the fire left these corpses looking beyond recognition.
Chen Lun did not stay here to disturb their work, and took Floy outside the gallery.
"Mr. Jack, please rest assured that I will urge the shelter to restore your reputation as soon as possible and cancel the wanted order. If you have anything, you can come to me through the public mailbox on First Street, the postal code is 705302X."
Meng Na came to Chen Lun's side and whispered.
"Thank you very much for your help, Miss Mona."
"This is what I should do."
Chen Lun took off his hat, saluted, then put it back on his head and left with Floy.
Meng Na looked at their backs and sighed secretly.
In the end, I accepted the teacher’s help...
Now when I think back to the words I vowed to my teacher when I left the Royal Academy, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Things gradually began to ferment.
Although the shelter took prompt action and blocked off Bradley Square, saying that an accidental explosion had occurred here, the area needed to be renovated and rebuilt.
They also went door-to-door and forced residents who witnessed the extraordinary battle on the day of the incident to sign a confidentiality agreement.
However, the public could not stop talking about it, and the matter still spread among the people, especially in the circles of powerful people.
This time, many important people died in the inner city, which shocked the powerful people. Unlike the previous Garden Hotel incident and the assassination of Congressman Daniel, this time it really affected them.
Many old nobles jointly petitioned and took the matter to the main fossil city. However, when they thought that the empire would send people to appease and compensate, they only received a simple warning letter.
Immediately, the powerful circle in Amber City fell into deathly silence.
Because Earl Bradley, the loudest voice, was immediately arrested for "crimes of 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, as well as the key role he played in the process.
A small number of insiders understood that it was no longer important whether Earl Bradley was an accomplice. What was important was that the empire chose to suppress the matter.
If they continue to make trouble, Earl Bradley's fate will be the best portrayal of it.
In addition, regarding what happened in the square that day, the black-haired young man with black wings on his back has gradually become a legend in Amber City.
Awe and gratitude slowly took root in the hearts of the masses.
They called him the "Black Messenger", and some even regarded him as an object of faith. (End of chapter)
