Chapter 127 The War Masons of Noxus, why are there so many spies in Piltover!
There was a meeting in the morning, and in the afternoon, Zu An took action.
Starting from the afternoon of that day, Zaun's law enforcement officers began to patrol the streets and alleys of Zaun. The entire three areas of Zaan were overthrown. , and made a transcript file.
In one afternoon, Zaun drove away twenty-three Noxians. These Noxians were basically businessmen.
When they were being driven away, they were still scolding the law enforcement officers for being unreasonable, and scolding Zu An for not being polite, saying that they were here to do business and make money for Zu An, but Zu An drove them away. What is this called? thing?
Is Zaun going to stay in Valoran again? Do you know if we go back and say it, Noxus can cut off all trade links in Zaun with just one word!
But the law enforcement officials ignored these words, and if they encountered a Noxian who scolded them harshly, they would take out their sticks and wave them at the Noxians to threaten them.
Are you kidding me, do you really think that our Zaun is some kind of united, friendly, kind and peaceful city-state?
If it weren't for the fact that as a law enforcement officer, you need to have a good image to the outside world, then when the Noxian cursed the first sentence, the law enforcement officer would have slapped him with a stick.
Thought it was before?
Do you still think that Zu An was bullied by others before?
Now, it's only time for us Zaun people to curse!
In fact, the law enforcement officers did not know about Li Ke's return, but this did not prevent them from being hostile to Noxus. What's more, this was an order issued by Silko himself and then arranged for them by Wei, the law enforcement director of Zaun. Task.
For these Zaun people who followed Li Ke in the early years and became law enforcement officers of Zaun from Lianhua Gang gang members, they did not care at all who they were targeting when enforcing the law. After all, Representative Li Ke once said to them In a word - if one day you see me breaking the law, I hope you will come to search and hold me accountable instead of letting me do wrong things just because I am a member of the parliament.
Because of this, let alone beating a few Noxian businessmen, they also beat Noxian soldiers on the Bridge of Progress!
"There are also many Noxians among the war refugees who entered Zaun some time ago. Do we need to investigate them as well?"
In the law enforcement bureau, Marson stood in front of Wei and said.
Wearing a police uniform, Wei sat at the table. Hearing the sound, he looked up at Marson, nodded and said, "Of course, it's not just this group of refugees. There must also be spies sent by Noxus among the previous refugees, as well as those from the Jess family." The pretty black girl said they call these people war masons.”
"Can a mason also be a spy?" Marson felt curious.
"It's just a name. They say they are masons, but these people are good at everything. They can be resourceful scouts, skillful engineers, and brave warriors. The black girl also said that she is actually a certain To a certain extent, she was also a war mason thrown into Piltover by Noxus, but she fell in love with Piltover and chose to live in symbiosis with Piltover.”
Vi felt a headache as she said it, driving away the Noxian merchants, no problem.
But driving away those refugees who came to Zaun to join the refugees who started the war because of Noxus?
This is not so easy to do.
First of all, Zaun needs a population, a large number of people, and the way Zaun's population has been growing is through war refugees. Otherwise, it would be impossible to rely solely on the Zaun people themselves.
Because there are not as many people born every day as there are people dying every day due to various things. Of course, that is not the case now.
Nowadays, if you kill people in Zaun, you have to be beaten with a stick, put in the police station, and then eat peanuts after the trial!
In short, let's take Scar as an example. He is not a true Zaunite. Even if Li Ke goes back further, he will not be a Zaunite.
But now, they all call themselves Zaun people.
Zu An can tolerate and accept these people, and Zu An has always done so.
Therefore, driving them away will most likely cause Zaun to lose the idea among the Valoran refugees - if that doesn't work, we can just escape and live in Zaun.
This will significantly reduce the rate of future population growth in Zaun.
Thinking of this, Wei stretched out her hand and tapped the table and said: "Let Caitlin come and go uptown to call Marcus down."
Caitlin has a strong ability to infer, and Marcus has been a law enforcement officer for decades, and later took over the position of Piltover law enforcement officer sergeant. He has met many people, all kinds of people, so Marcos Kesi's eyes are very vicious.
Speaking of Marcos.
Wei no longer hates him. She now understands that Marcus did save her back then. Although he threw her into prison after saving her, there was nothing she could do about it.
Because Hilko's power is so huge, many dignitaries in the upper city are colluding with him, and the bottom city is all over the sky. If Wei was not in Jingshui Prison, he would have been found by Hilko in minutes and then arrested. Come out and get killed.
"Damn."
Wei suddenly cursed, feeling that this life was so damn interesting.
She actually contributed to the construction of the Twin Cities with two people she hated before, and she slowly chose to let go and forgive them.
Was I this person before?
Wei thought a little funny.
An hour later, in the law enforcement bureau in the ditch, in a room with only dim lights, a row of Zaun people were sitting, and Caitlin was questioning them.
Marcus and Vi were in front of the one-way mirror, watching the scene in the room, and there was a beautiful blue bird on Vi's head.
That was specially invited by Wei. Lady Janna can see through people's hearts.
With her here, catching spies will be easier.
In the interrogation room, looking at the information on hand, Miss Tiaozi asked calmly: "You entered Zaun in 984, right? But Charlie, I remember that that year happened to be the year Noxus invaded Io. Nia’s time.”
"Yes, it was precisely because of the war that I took my family to flee to Zaun." In front of Caitlin, Xia Li, a Zaun native who had set up a stall in the middle square, replied.
"Family? But you have always been alone." Caitlin frowned.
"Because my child died on the way to escape. He died of starvation." A flash of pain flashed in Xia Li's eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
"I'm sorry to remind you of the sad past, but Charlie, I still have questions to ask you." Caitlin said apologetically, then straightened her face, and then asked: "You said you came here as a refugee, then you Where did you originally live? ”
In the past, Zaun did not conduct population registration at all. Anyone could enter Zaun and live in Zaun.
Therefore, the information in Caitlin's hands did not contain many records of these people's deeds, only their names, ages, and what they were doing.
"Fendor, a seaside town northwest of Piltover." Charlie replied.
Caitlin raised her eyebrows and said seriously: "So, you were a Noxian before?"
Xia Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes"
He looked at Caitlin in surprise, but he didn't expect Caitlin to guess his identity.
"I used to be a fisherman in Fendo, and I supported my family by fishing at sea. However, a riot broke out in the seaport city of Besilico, and the soldiers who were suppressed by the imperial army fled into Fendo. I don't want to join the army. I don't want to make achievements and gain achievements. Glory. I just wanted to protect my family, that's all, so I took them and escaped from Fendo."
Xia Li suddenly reached out and grabbed his hair, and said painfully: "But on the way, my wife was killed by bandits. I could only take my young daughter and flee to Zu'an, but she also escaped on the way to Zu'an. Dead.”
Caitlin nodded, "You take a short break and relax your mood. I'll wait. I may have something to ask you."
"Okay."
"He didn't lie." Marcus kept looking at Xia Li's face, observing Xia Li's expression and the micro-movements of his body, and then he made a judgment.
As the former police chief of Piltover, Marcos had seen too many refugees and poor people who came to Piltover and wanted to live here, but as expected, they were all rejected by Marcos. Driven away.
Because Piltover did not accept refugees, to put it bluntly, Piltover back then was a headache just because of Zaun. Refugees. Aren’t the Zauns just refugees when they arrived in Piltover?
Piltover is not big enough to accommodate that many people.
Vi was confused, and she said, "That's it? Can we really know if they are spies sent by Noxus?"
"Let me tell you, shouldn't violence be used during interrogations? For example, beating them until their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen, making them afraid?" Wei frowned and said.
"First of all, they are Zaun people. Your direct use of violence for no reason will make the Dig Law Enforcement Bureau lose its prestige in Zaun. Your mission is to protect them, not to bully them, right?" Marcos said speechlessly. Vi said.
Vi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Yes, they are only suspected of being spies now. It does not mean that they are really spies. If they wrongly accuse good people.
Wei shuddered. She felt that Li Ke would cause trouble for her, and he might hide behind Jinx and beg for mercy. No, that kind of thing can't happen.
"Secondly, those who can work as spies in the enemy country, especially the war masons of Noxus, are already prepared to die when they come. Coercion and torture cannot make them surrender. You have to let them reveal their flaws, Kate Lin is a good expert in criminal investigation, just trust her.”
On top of Wei's head, Janna also whispered: "The man named Xia Li did not lie. When he talked about Fendo, his wife, and his children, his soul was in pain and he was sad."
< br>
"Okay, it's up to you anyway, I just want to study."
Wei nodded and spoke.
Soon, the investigation was concluded, and all the Zaun people who were the focus of attention were released.
Vi, Marcus, Caitlin, and Janna arrived in Vi's office.
Caitlin skillfully raised one leg, then sat on the table and said:
"At least as far as I can tell, there are no spies among them. I first asked each of them about their origins and the reason for coming to Zaun. Then the second time, I asked them individually about other things.
Finally, I said that I had forgotten what they said at the beginning, and asked them again about their origins and the reasons for coming to Zaun.
During the third questioning, I observed each of their expressions and compared them with their first answers. Everyone, I can ensure that the answers they gave twice have no clue, not at all. . "Caitlin explained to Vi,
"The reason why I bring everyone together to question them instead of interrogating them individually is to interrupt their thinking. When I question others harshly, the people I question will relax and then listen to what they are being asked. What the person I asked said,
If they were lying and constructing false stories, then after I asked for details one last time, or even deliberately guided them, they should have said the wrong thing, but they didn't. ”
Caitlin asked questions for the last time, disrupting the order. Instead of starting with Charlie, she randomly selected people for questioning. The sudden questions, coupled with her deliberate guidance, made the group of people say nothing wrong.
It can be seen that these things were not made up by them, but actually happened, and they were deeply impressed by them.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that they made preparations in advance and memorized this incident, or even with the help of magic?
But with Janna here, since Janna thought it was okay, Caitlin felt that the above conditions were impossible to happen.
"Really or not? Aren't you just asking? Did you do so many things just now?" After hearing Caitlin's words, Wei's eyes widened.
Are you kidding me?
Did the little cake do so much in just that little time?
Marcus sighed as he listened.
The force of Zaun's Law Enforcement Bureau is okay, and it is stronger than Piltover, but in terms of investigating cases and interrogating prisoners.
Forget it, a law enforcement bureau that has only been established for a year really cannot ask for that much.
"I think it's probably because Zaun had a good relationship with Noxus before, and many people died every day in Zaun before, which was very chaotic. In addition, Zaun was very poor, so Noxus felt there was no need to go there. Zaunite War Mason," Caitlin said after thinking for a moment.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"But there is no Piltover in Zaun, there will be, so Vi, I want to ask the goddess Janna to come with me, and then please ask you to get a document from Councilor Silko, and I want to investigate the people in the city. ”
Wei nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"You accompany me? Well, actually you don't have to come, as long as Lady Janna comes." Caitlin thought for a while and said.
After Wei heard this, he was stunned and narrowed his eyes: "I really don't need to go?"
Seeing Wei's expression, Caitlin's working brain stopped working, and then the other brain started to work, nodding repeatedly: "No, no, of course you have to accompany me. I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing."< br>
"Humph, it's better that you said the wrong thing instead of thinking that way from the bottom of your heart." Wei said angrily.
Half an hour later, Caitlin hugged Vi's waist and hit Piltover with a flyboard.
Marcus spoke to Piltover's new police chief, who was also his student, while Vi and Caitlin went to see Mel and told Mel about investigating the powerful.
Mel agreed, and Caitlin's mother, Councilor Gila Mann, wholeheartedly agreed.
Soon, in the name of Mel, Gila Mann, and Jace, all the nobles of Piltover received investigation documents.
Caitlin also took people to visit one by one.
"Mr. Mickey Ketra, the reason why I came to you is because you entered Piltover in 1984, engaged in the wool textile business, and then gradually became the largest in the city, right? You Like Mel, he was once a Noxian."
After Caitlin finished speaking, she quickly added: "I'm not doubting you, I'm just telling a fact."
"It doesn't matter, I understand. I was indeed a Noxian before, but Noxus, as you all know, is too overbearing. We merchants in Noxus are just their mobile vaults.
"In order to survive, I had no choice but to leave Noxus. Then, I came to Piltover from Besilico and sold all the goods on hand.
Later, I came a few more times. To be honest, it was really pleasant to do business with the people in Piltover. I slowly found that I liked it here. I've been to many places, Shurima, Freljord, but those places are very poor, unlike Piltover. ”
Mickey smiled and said to Caitlin.
Caitlin nodded and continued:
"As far as I understand, the wool and textiles in your inventory are basically collected from Shurima. But hasn't Shurima been at war with Noxus over the years? Many coastal cities have been invaded by Noxus. How did you acquire wool in such a chaotic period during the Texas occupation? ”
"Little Gila Mann, you may be a very good law enforcement officer, but you are definitely not a good businessman." Mickey laughed and then said:
"Traveling merchants like us often have to go to dangerous and chaotic places to make a fortune. War profits are more profitable than you think.
It is precisely because of the war in Shurima that the locals are starved of food, and wool and textiles, such valuable items in other places, have become useless in Shurima. They can't even afford food, so what's the use of having nice clothes and beautiful carpets at home? Therefore, I only need to use cheap grain to purchase these goods, and then sell them elsewhere. ”
“That’s how my family came up,” Mitch said.
"I understand," Caitlin said.
Then, she asked Mickey many questions in succession.
Mickey took his time and answered one by one.
The questioning process lasted for half an hour. Finally, Caitlin looked at Janna on Wei, and then saw Janna nodding to her. Seeing this, Caitlin stood up and said to Mickey: "Thank you for your cooperation. Investigate, sorry for disturbing your time.”
"It doesn't matter, I like chatting with young people."
Mickey stood up and said with a smile. He looked at Caitlin who was about to leave, and then said: "Little Gila Mann, let me teach you another piece of life wisdom. This is what I learned when I was a fisherman. Reason.”
"The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish." He looked at Caitlin and said seriously.
Caitlin was already heading towards the door, but when she heard Mickey's words, her body froze. She turned around instantly, then narrowed her eyes and looked at Mickey.
"Fishermen? Ah!"
"I suddenly remembered something, and I said why I came to you first, it was because I just heard your name." Caitlin clapped her hands, looking like she suddenly understood.
Wei on the side was confused, looked at Caitlin, and wanted to say, I have followed you all the way. When have we heard such a name?
But just as she was about to speak, Marcos put his fist on her back.
Wei was stunned and closed her mouth.
"I just conducted an investigation in Zaun. There is a Noxian like you who entered Zaun in 984. He was also a fisherman before. When the war broke out, he came to live in Zaun alone, but he has always Everyone remembers a man named Mickey. He said that was his brother and said that Mickey helped him a lot. "
Caitlin said happily:
"He said, since I am investigating, can I do one thing for him, and that is to ask me to help him find his brother. And you also left Noxus in 984 and came to Piltover.
And my mother said that your family name was only given after the business started. You didn’t have a surname before, right? So Mr. Mickey, do you think the person he is looking for is you? ”
"It's possible, but I helped too many people when I was a fisherman. If you just say that, I have no way of knowing who he is. Maybe he's not looking for me?" Mickey said thoughtfully.
Caitlin walked towards Mickey. After putting on short-heeled boots, she was a little taller than the Noxian man. When she got in front of Mickey, Caitlin said:
"It doesn't matter, I think he should be looking for you. His name is Vincent. He used to be a fisherman in the fishing port of Besilico. You see, he is a resident of Besilico like you. When the war broke out in 984, Besilico There was a rebellion in Silico, so Vincent left Besilico in order to avoid the war.”
Mickey first touched his chin and thought, then suddenly looked up at Caitlin and said happily: "Ah, it's him!"
Behind Caitlin, no matter how stupid Vi is, she still knows what Caitlin is doing
Damn, little cake, you are really good at it!
Even the dead can be said to be alive!
And, it really worked!
"Do you really know him?"
"Of course, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will go down to talk to him then. No, I will go down today." Mickey smiled, reached out and patted Caitlin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that An investigation actually led me to find a long-lost friend.”
"That's great, Caitlin, you helped me a lot." Mickey's smile was genuine.
But Caitlin just clapped, and then she also smiled, a sneer.
She looked at Mickey, raised her hand, and said softly: "Wei, catch him."
"Damn, you are really good at it, little cake. I really learned from it."
A figure flew out from Caitlin's side, and then instantly subdued the frightened Mickey Caitela.
Pressing the person to the ground, Wei raised her hand and punched Mickey on the back of the head, who was about to resist.
How strong is she?
The female boxing champion of Zuan is not nonsense!
With just one punch, Mickey groaned and fainted.
Caitlin looked at Marcos and said seriously: "I think it's not just him. There will be many war masons in Piltover. Senator Mel is right. Piltover came in when we didn't know it." A lot of bugs.”
"I understand, don't worry, no one will know that I took him away." Marcos nodded.
"Vi, it's time for us to go to the next place." Caitlin turned around, put one hand on her hips, and her hair swayed under her high hat. She was so heroic at the moment.
Seeing Caitlin like this, Wei's throat moved, and then she said playfully:
"Okay, I will listen to you."
