Chapter 33 Sincerity is the ultimate weapon
"Brother, I advise you to be honest and lenient, otherwise even I don't know how tragic Ms. Qiangwei will do in a while."
Ethan obediently raised his hands above his head and stood side by side with his boss. He leaned closer to him and whispered to each other, "The last person she interrogated didn't have a single piece of skin intact on his body. He screamed all night long. I'm here to help you."
He roughly judged the situation in the bar. This is the most well-informed place in the civilian area. Luxang would often come to this bar called "Golden Rose" to have a drink after finishing work. The only The problem is that the gold-encrusted rose is related to border gangs, so Ivy, who is a "cop", will naturally not be welcomed.
It was obvious that the communication between the two parties was not going smoothly, and it was about to go off the rails.
When Ivy pointed the gun at the boss, he also touched the dagger hidden in the secret compartment of the bar.
"I didn't!"
Ivy's face turned red, and the golden hair on her head made an "X" shape excitedly.
"You can, maybe he will tell you when he is scared."
Ethan hates that iron cannot be made into steel. He just saw his boss's hands shaking. As long as Ivy shows a cruel smile in cooperation, his inner defense will completely collapse. It's a pity that he and Ivy have just worked together for a day, and their tacit understanding needs to be strengthened.
Following Ivy's denial, the boss slowly reached for the dagger again.
"Well, it's true that she hasn't tortured the interrogation subjects, but she has killed 56 people like you."
The boss's little movements stopped again. He glanced at Ivy subconsciously. However, this time Ivy remained silent. She just frowned and did not refute.
Now the boss was completely panicked.
This bitch has killed 56 people! ?
You know, even the most vicious villain in the gang has never killed so many people!
Ethan, who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, felt a thump in his heart. He made up the 56 people casually to make Ivy look more intimidating. However, something unexpected happened.
Ivy acquiesced.
broken!
He unexpectedly discovered such a terrifying truth!
This time, even Ethan's mood was suddenly filled with anxiety.
Sincerity is the sure winner.
When the boss noticed that Ivy was avoiding looking at Ethan with some guilt, he almost immediately raised his hands above his head. In order to prevent him from becoming the 57th unlucky person, he took the initiative to express his position, "I can tell you about Luxan This is a legal bar. I have always been a law-abiding citizen of the empire. We can sit down and have a good chat... By the way, do you two want a drink? My treat."
< br>
No matter what kind of murder plan the silent Ivy was planning, at least the three of them were now sitting in front of the bar, and the interrupted conversation could be continued.
"Listen, I don't know if this has anything to do with the case you're investigating, but as far as I know, that guy from Roxas owes the Imperial Bank a lot of money, and his life is very tight, and they do it every night. He came to the bar to tell aristocratic jokes and earn some extra money. We all tried to persuade him not to borrow money from the Federal Reserve anymore. He couldn't even pay back the interest on the money he earned now, but he couldn't listen at all and he was completely trapped. .”
Hearing this, Ethan asked, "He is still borrowing money from the Federal Reserve Bank? Why?"
Luxang mentioned that in order to buy an apartment in a civilian area, he took out a loan from the Imperial Bank of China. He had to work in Ximu Town for more than 20 years to pay off the loan and interest.
As offensive as it was, Ethan almost immediately thought of something bad.
For example, Roxane was addicted to gambling, or he was addicted to potions made by some bad pharmacists. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to imagine anything that could make an optimistic and positive person change his temperament drastically in a short period of time. Loans from the Federal Reserve over and over again.
Roxan must know the consequences of doing this. When the debt he owes becomes too much to be repaid, his life will be bought out. "It's for her daughter."
The boss hung his head helplessly. At first, they thought that Roxan was addicted to bad habits. However, whether it was gambling or potion addiction, they had ways to help him quit. But this was the only thing they couldn't do. , "His daughter is very talented in magic. She was spotted by a great magician from the Astrology Society and was willing to be her teacher."
The three of them fell silent in unison.
Magician is recognized as the most expensive extraordinary path. The materials used to make scrolls and arrange magic circles are all piled up with real gold and silver.
Even so, few people can resist the temptation to set foot in the extraordinary realm, especially when the other party is a great mage certified by the Astrology Society.
Ethan knew that Luxang had a dream. He wanted to repay the loan and his family would live in harmony in Ximu Town.
Simple and simple wishes.
But this still doesn't explain why Roxane ended his life suddenly and left a curse in that apartment.
"You see Roxan every day. Is there anything unusual about him recently?"
"Abnormal? How could such a heartless person be abnormal?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The boss sneered, "Sometimes I really envy him. He is obviously overwhelmed by debt, but he can still laugh. By the way, he told me a few days ago that his daughter is coming to town. Look at him, that girl has passed the first-level magician certification exam, and he said that she will come to the bar to perform magic for us.”
Ethan could imagine the scene of Roxane dragging his tired figure in front of the bar and chatting with the boss after the performance in the evening.
The boss is right, such a heartless person...
Ethan's expression suddenly changed and he emphasized his tone, "Did you just say that Roxan's daughter was coming to see him?"
The boss was startled by Ethan's expression. He shrank his neck and his voice became a little weaker, "He said this himself."
"When did it happen?"
"Just, just three days ago."
"Where did it come from?"
"How do I know? I've never been to an astrology meeting. Does it matter where it comes from? Everyone is already dead."
When talking about Luxang's death, the boss suddenly became angry, "It's you, you are here to investigate this case, right? Then tell me, how did he die? How could he commit suicide? It must have been the Imperial Federal Reserve who put him to death. Forced to death! ”
"The closest astrology club to Ximu Town is in Morning Star City."
Ivy, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Her tone was light and there was still no sadness or joy on her face, as if she was just stating a fact based on the clues provided by her boss.
"Morning Star City is located southwest of Ximu Town. If his daughter came from there, she would have passed through Riverside Town two days ago."
