It was almost dusk when the last of Glenn's black pigs arrived. In total, I earned 2,400 bronze coins, and my pockets were visibly bulging.
I have finally escaped poverty for the time being, and I can really spruce myself up! I'm going to have a good meal, go back and make a stew. By the way, I wonder how Layla and Bonnie are. They must have been scared to death yesterday. I'll look in on them when I've finished shopping. After all, I can't escape responsibility for what happened... Glenn cleaned up the mess on the floor, planning to take the rubbish away in the van later, otherwise the street cleaners would have a field day with him.
However, he did not leave as soon as he had tidied up, because a group of people in plain clothes were walking towards him.
Glenn had noticed these people early on and had been watching them from the sidelines as they sold pork, waiting until now to make their move.
Dodd's police? Glenn guessed their identity. In his previous life he had dealt with people of that profession and was very familiar with their temperament, their words and their deeds.
Are you Mr Glenn? We are policemen from Duder, may we have a word with you? The leader, Captain Moustache, got straight to the point.
Police officers? Glenn pretended to be confused and a little nervous, 'Have I done something wrong?
Of course he knew why the police were looking for him. He guessed that Layla and Bonnie had called the police and of course they would want to investigate the relevant people.
Relax, sir, we just want to ask you a few questions. This is a case, so please cooperate with us,' a younger policeman behind him said with a reassuring smile.
Glenn took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead and ask, I'll tell you everything.
Thank you for your cooperation," the captain said, pulling out a small notebook and pen. His tone was official. 'Your full name is Glenn Nybakru, isn't it?
'That's the name I use now. My former name is Dylan Nybakru.'
Not sure how official information was transmitted in this world, Glenn still said the original owner's name. If he hides it, it will be difficult to explain if they find him later on the basis of false information.
The captain quickly wrote something in the small notebook and looked up, 'May I ask why you changed your name?
'Something has happened and I want to make a clean break with the past, Officer.
The captain continued thoughtfully, 'Yesterday at this time, Miss Leila and Miss Bonnie were at your house?
'Yes.'
'Do you know Leila's father, Bob?'
'No.'
...
The questioning lasted only about ten minutes, and it was all about the basics of yesterday.
At the end, the captain asked Glenn in a very strange tone and look: 'Do you really live in Bayek?
'Yes, is there a problem with that, officer?' Glenn was a little curious about the captain's attitude.
Nothing, as long as you're okay,' the captain smiled, then looked around a bit, leaned a bit closer to Glenn's ear and whispered, 'When I was captain of the police station, I was told not to go near that place unless it was absolutely necessary.
Glenn was startled and his curiosity grew.
You must have been tricked into buying a house there, right? Believe me, boy, if you can, you'd better move out as soon as possible. It won't do you any harm.
Having said this, the captain led the police officers under his command away.
It seems that the government of this kingdom knows about the city of Bayek, but why does it not care? There are a lot of evil-looking creatures in there... Glenn thought quietly for a while, but soon shook his head and pulled the car into a corner to go shopping.
...
Captain, we still have no leads. What should we do? This young man doesn't seem to be involved,' the officer next to Yihu asked.
asked the officer next to Yihu shortly after they left Central Street.
Maybe,' the captain said in an ambiguous tone, 'at least he's not with these people.
If they commit another crime, it will cause panic in the city," an officer said worriedly.
These guys won't be committing another crime for a while,' the captain said as he left.
Why?" the team members asked in unison.
The fact that they always choose targets outside the city means that they dare not commit crimes in the city. What could it be that makes them so afraid? Those who dare to do such things are not afraid of us police officers, at least not enough to refrain from committing crimes in the town. With the recent arrival of a big shot in our city, that would be Berlyn. They are afraid of the actions of the Grand Knight Bolin. There are only a few families with children outside, and they have all been killed. Beyond that, it is not our concern. All they can do now is attack the town. They should lie low until Bolin leaves.
After Captain Yizhu's analysis, the policemen behind him seemed to understand, but not.
But Lord Bolin only arrived in town the day before yesterday, and the case of the missing children started five days ago?
One of the policemen asked.
The captain's expression did not change. The news that Boring was coming to Duder spread a week ago. If the crime had been committed during that time, it would have spread throughout the town. When Boring arrives, if he hears about it, given his character as a great knight, he will probably take immediate action. Boring has the heart of a knight, so there is a high probability that they will be found. How could the other party not consider this outcome?
Then why don't we ask Lord Boring to help us find the culprits quickly?
'Sigh...' The Captain sighed, "I went to see him, but the Mayor wouldn't let me see Berin. He said that Berin wouldn't be in town for long, that there were important things waiting for Lord Berin, and that he wouldn't let him spend his time on such things.
When he had finished speaking, the policemen looked dejected. The captain looked back at them, his tone suddenly serious: 'Listen! You bunch of losers! Can't we solve this case without relying on others? ! Don't forget what you're wearing! It is our job to bring the criminals to justice!
Surprised by the sudden rebuke, everyone slapped the floor in unison and replied loudly, 'Yes, Captain!
Do not stop your daily patrols, sooner or later we will find them.
...
Mays Academy.
Glenn looked at the iron gate in front of him and fell silent. The large iron lock at the top indicated that outsiders were not welcome in this academy.
He took a few steps forward, the fallen leaves under his feet making a crunching sound on the stone path.
The iron gate was made of vertical, dark iron bars and a symmetrical spiral pattern, giving it an old-fashioned British feel.
Glenn leaned forward slightly and looked at the campus buildings beyond the gate. The earth-coloured, spire-shaped buildings sat still, and the sound of mixed lecture voices drifted into his ears.
Looks like classes are in session... Glenn straightened his back and suddenly felt what seemed to be a gaze falling on him.
He looked up to see that the gaze seemed to be coming from the stone carvings of crows on the stone pillars on either side of the iron gate.
This was supposed to be a normal school, right? There shouldn't be any magical creatures here, should there? Hmm... Maybe there are in normal schools, but the normal students don't know about it, including the previous incarnation... Glenn lowered his head and stopped investigating.
This time he followed the scent to see how the two young girls, Layla and Bonnie, were doing. He was worried about any accidents, but it seemed that the two young girls should be fine. He couldn't risk being misunderstood and just burst in.
As he turned to leave, he caught some strange sounds in his ears.
Something's going on? He looked in the direction of the sound, guessing it wasn't far away, and walked along the fence.
