Chapter 187 Interception of Earl Secombe
The next night, Lancer Avenue.
This street, once famous for knightly duels, is now a famous handicraft commercial street. Maybe a small, inconspicuous shop contains craftsmen passed down from generation to generation.
Whenever night falls, some nearby residents will come to this commercial street. Even if you don't buy anything, just admiring the art here is a very enjoyable thing. When you are tired from walking, you can just sit on a chair at a roadside drink stall, order a drink and chat with people you know.
It’s just that tonight Qiqian Avenue is very deserted. There are no pedestrians or vehicles in sight, and all the shops on both sides are closed.
Only street lights illuminated the only roadside drinks stall.
The stall owner brought the vanilla fruit tea to the only two customers, and then asked in panic: "Two adults, can I leave?"
海Lott took out a few coins from his pocket and put them on the table: "I bought the table and chairs, let's go!"
"Yes, yes, yes, sir." The stall owner quickly took it. Take the money, then run for his life pushing his drink cart.
Lance Avenue is even more deserted.
Herot took a sip of the vanilla fruit tea and said to Melis: "Anthony only said that Earl Secombe would pass by here tonight, but he didn't know the specific time. Let's just wait here. Anyway, Anthony will bring The summoned police officers have blocked the lance avenue, so no citizens will accidentally break in."
Meilis also picked up the fruit tea and drank: "I have already set up the interrogation and detention places. We've found it. It's just that we don't have enough people. Anthony said that Sicom's security guards are very strong.
Those sheriffs will only help us block the Lancer Avenue and will not participate in the attack on Sicom. The Count's arrest.
You, me, Reinham, Anthony, and the fellow sheriff that Anthony found... Yes, there are also Bresini and Firollo, and your shadow. That one. In terms of numbers, we are at a disadvantage, and we don’t have any backup.
If you think the Imperial Military Police can’t be trusted, I can borrow someone from the Royal Guards. It should be too late now.”
< br>
This place is not far from the Imperial City. If Melis goes to the Royal Guards to borrow someone as Princess Maelubelli, she can bring him soon.
Helot said: "We don't need so many people, and more people are not good, especially His Majesty cannot be involved. This time, our 13th Investigation Team is facing off against the Rusty Nobles. If we can’t clean up the situation in the end, His Majesty will take care of it for us.”
Melise understood what Helot meant.
His Majesty definitely wants to disintegrate the Rust Nobles alliance. If the Thirteenth Investigation Team dares to attack the Rust Nobles, he will be happy to watch and provide secret help. If we call in the Royal Guards, we will lose His Majesty as a backup.
After thinking about it, Melis became more confident: "This fruit tea tastes very good!"
"Don't just think about work all day long, go shopping more often..."
Helot introduced Melis to the hidden delicacies in the Covenant City. Many inconspicuous shops have delicious food that everyone can eat once. Unforgettable deliciousness.
There are also some underground arenas.
“When I was in school, I participated in ring competitions with a remote-controlled mechanical boxer that I made by myself, and made a lot of money. However, my instructor later discovered that I had stolen materials from the laboratory, and I was severely punished. The scholarship was gone.
I found that I didn’t make as much money as the scholarship, so I never participated in those kinds of competitions, but I occasionally helped people modify machinery to earn some craft money..."
Melis also talked about some things in northern Xinjiang, such as building a snow house and grilling fish caught from the glacial lake; climbing icebergs in the cold wind and hunting armored bears as her fifteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
“Those are white bears that stand three meters tall. They are very intelligent and can use the earth’s fire to smelt magic iron, and then forge it into armor to wear on their bodies. In northern Xinjiang, the only way to tame an armored bear is to hunt them. A bear is a real warrior...
It's just that 'Snowball' was killed by a cold demon to protect me..."
Helot asked: "On your bloodline Were the injuries left at that time as well?”
Meilis looked at the empty tea cup and said, “Yes! At that time, I activated my bloodline power and transformed into a cold demon...”
< br>
A bat flew from the sky and landed on the ground, turning into a Bressini. "Master, Anthony asked me to tell you that the target's convoy is here."
Helot turned to look at the other end of the street. A convoy turned into Lancer Avenue, The bright car lights illuminated the light beam, making the empty road a little brighter.
There are a total of six vehicles at the front and rear of the convoy, with the flag of the Imperial Heavy Industry Commission and the crest of the Secombe family on the front of the vehicle.
It’s just that the convoy accelerated immediately after entering Qianqian Avenue. Obviously the people in the car noticed the strangeness of this road. It was too late to stop and retreat, so they could only pass as fast as possible.
"Work!"
Helot stood up and walked to the middle of the road, tapping the ground with his cane in both hands.
After the car at the front saw someone blocking the road, it accelerated and crashed into it without slowing down. Just when it was about to hit Helot, a huge corpse flower poisonous vine suddenly emerged from the ground, with a diameter of one meter.
The front of the car hit the vines of the poisonous corpse flower vine. The car body deformed instantly, the windows burst and the glass flew everywhere.
But the people inside the car reacted very quickly. The door was violently broken open from the inside and shot to both sides. Four figures jumped out of the car. They landed half-crouched and slid under the influence of inertia. After stabilizing their bodies, they simultaneously took out their guns and pointed them at Helot.
However, the four flying knives were faster than them. Their palms were pierced by the flying knives at the same time, and their pistols fell to the ground.
At this time, the corpse flower poisonous vine bit the scrapped car and threw it to the side of the road. Helot faced the convoy behind.
The motorcade has stopped, the doors opened, and all Earl Secombe's guards got out of the car.
Helot showed his ID and shouted: "Imperial Military Police are handling the case!"
The person on the opposite side immediately stopped the upcoming attack.
Then a man who looked like a captain walked out: "The person in the car is Earl Secombe. You stopped the wrong person, get out of the way!"
Helot threw the ID over: "That's right! The one you stopped is Earl Secombe, let him come out to see me!"
The other party took the certificate.
After opening it and taking a look, he immediately turned around and walked to the side of the second car, handing the certificate in through the half-open window.
Setting in the car was Earl Secombe.
When the motorcade was stopped, he had a bad feeling. When he heard that it was the Imperial Military Police who was blocking him, this premonition became even stronger.
Take the certificate handed in by his subordinate.
Open!
Leader of the Thirteenth Investigation Team of the Special Incident Investigation Section of the Imperial Military Police Headquarters: Helot Clallund
The Emperor's personal order: exclusive authority, full cooperation, no obstruction !
It must have been the military police that destroyed the Iron Stone community.
Did they find me so quickly?
And...
Earl Secombe looked at the surname "Claudel", and the corners of his eyes trembled.
Is it a coincidence?
