Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1253

Episode 1253. Where are the sinners?

Transportation manager Reinhide has a surname like an aristocrat, but he is actually a commoner.

Such a person is called Ramus.

The world’s evaluation of Ramus is generally twofold.

The first is ‘I work hard to bring back the films of the past’ and the second is ‘follow the law’.

As long as the criteria for farm work are ‘public achievement’ and ‘law-abiding’, the evaluation of the Ramus will not change in the future.

As a result, no one was more suitable as a middle manager than Ramus.

It is because he is zealous in everything and obeys the law well.

The Ramus were not cooperative with the security forces, so they even actively helped.

Transport manager Rein Hyde was one of them.

He intended to report the events of the previous night without hesitation to the security forces in Crowley.

That’s why I met the priests of Manaptras before I even had breakfast.

‘Can I tell you what I know?’ I asked, but in fact, I intend to tell the police even if the other person opposes it.

So, this question only gave him a chance to escape.

But Lagoa didn’t seem to want that.

“Please. Then, will we leave after the police investigation is over?”

It was Rein Hyde who was taken aback by his question, which seemed to be somewhat relaxed.

He was hesitant at Lagoa’s unexpected attitude, but responded calmly.

“If you don’t know who the suspect is, no one will say anything even if you leave immediately after reporting it, but in this case, the security forces will come to meet you.”

“Then report it and come. I’ll be waiting for the police here.”

“Are you okay? The mercenaries did something worthy of being hanged, but they could go over the adventurer with personal sanctions. Aside from the policy of accepting imperial adventurers, the perception of imperial adventurers is not good.”

Imperial adventurers were welcomed by the royal family, but citizens mobilized for war were terrified of the Empire.

The police force, which is closer to the citizens than the royal family, turns a blind eye to the illegal actions of the adventurers of the empire?

That was something that Reinhide’s common sense couldn’t have done.

“it’s okay. My problem is on my own. Mr. Hyde, just take care of the stagecoach.”

“Yes, I understand. Then I’ll go and report the mercenaries missing to the police.”

Reinhide ignored Lagoa and left the Tavern.

This is because in order to move the stagecoach, you have to report it to the police.

***

Shade Kingdom.

Crowley Peace Corps.

Reinhide reported the events of the previous night with a low attitude, as if he were guilty.

“…Currently, all of the mercenaries are missing, and the kidnapped adventurers have returned to Tavern.”

Police Inspector Miriam Sain stopped recording and raised her head.

“So last night, nine mercenaries turned into robbers and kidnapped a woman and two men, and another adventurer among the passengers rescued the woman and treated her at the temple, while the two men returned on their own? that’s right?”

“yes.”

“What is the name of the adventurer who saved the woman?”

“you’re right. All passengers are currently waiting for departure at Tavern.”

“Is Lagoa still in Tavern?”

“yes. He said he would accept it if an investigation was needed.”

“Where are the mercenaries who turned into robbers now? Did you say you got out of Crowley?”

“That’s…”

Rhine Hyde trailed off.

Depending on the result, it was not easy to say because he might have accused the brave passenger.

“You know, but you shouldn’t hide anything. Mr. Hyde could also be penalized.”

At the word disadvantage, Reinhide hurriedly opened his mouth.

“I heard that he is dead in an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

“Are the men who killed the mercenaries the kidnappers? Or are you the one who saved the woman?”

“I’m sure it’s not the men who were abducted. I couldn’t confirm it was Mr. Lagoa.”

Reinhide spoke as best he could.

But police inspector Miriam Sain was a quick-witted person.

“I guess Lagoa killed the mercenaries in the process of saving the woman. The woman must have been badly injured? Seeing that he took you to the temple, not to the healer.”

“I heard from the temple that he was stabbed in the neck. If I was a little late, I would have died.”

The corners of Miriam Sein’s mouth rose slightly.

It’s because Reinhide told them who the culprit was who killed the mercenaries.

She closed the papers and got up from her seat.

“Please go back and wait. No passenger must leave the tavern. After examining the scene, the security forces will come to the tavern.”

“Do you know when the security forces are coming to Tavern?”

For Rhine Hyde, who was in charge of running the stagecoach, that was of the utmost importance.

“We have to find an abandoned house, so it won’t be soon. I’ll be there before lunch at the earliest, at least an hour late.”

“Yes, I understand that.”

Reinhide stood up, bowed his head at the investigator, and turned around.

Miriam Sein said to him who was about to start walking.

“It would be better not to think of helping an adventurer as an imperial citizen. If you are thinking of driving the stagecoach to the kingdom of Adria.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It means holding on to Lagoa and tying it to the tavern. If he runs away, I’ll send your stagecoach back to the starting point.”

“That won’t happen. Mr. Lagoa said he would voluntarily undergo an investigation by the police.”

“I can’t say anything to reassure you. Make sure to keep him in good stead for your own sake. If you need help, tell me now.”

When the investigators treated the adventurers as criminals, Reinhide was heartbroken.

I knew it was going to happen, but when it happened, I felt embarrassed.

“Mr. Lagoa is not that kind of person. If you look at him, inspector, how wrong that is…”

“You take it as saying that your guards are enough. Stop going back.”

Reinhide left the interrogation room with his shoulders drooping.

***

Around noon.

Cruly’s heavily armed security forces came to Tavern.

However, the expressions and eyes of the security guards were unusual.

Thirty or so security forces surrounded Tavern without water.

Soon after, the marshal and the inspector opened the tavern door and went inside.

Just then, Rein Hyde, who was out on the first floor restaurant, recognized the inspector and stood up.

“Inspector?”

Miriam Sein said with a cold face.

“Mr. Hyde, where is Lagoa?”

“I am staying in a lodging on this floor. It’s lunchtime, so I’ll be down soon.”

Then the marshal gestured out the window.

Ten security guards quickly entered and blocked the front and back entrances.

Inspector Miriam Sein introduced the Marshal to Reinhide, who stood there with a surprised look on her face.

“This is Baron Fred Vettel, the chief of the peace of Crowley. Baron, that man is in charge of transporting the stagecoach.”

Linehide, who was rolling his eyes, bowed as if his back was about to break.

“Transportation Director Line Hyde.”

“It’s Baron Bette. When was the last time you saw a sinner?”

“Are you talking about mercenaries?”

“I’m asking about Lagoa.”

“He saved adventurers from robbers… Why do you say he’s a sinner?”

“Nine bodies were found in the abandoned house. Eight of them had their limbs cut off and one had a puncture in the abdomen. The Empire might see that as self-defense, but it’s not the Shade Kingdom. Where is the sinner?”

“omg! Mr. Lagoa is on the second floor of the accommodation. The guards and I have been guarding the first floor since morning, but no one has come down.”

Reinhide, who only knew that Lagoa had saved Crea, couldn’t come to his senses.

“Check with the guards to see if Ola is still there. If you have it, bring it down.”

At the command of the Marshal, Reinhide hesitated.

It was shocking to think that the guards would take the lead in arresting a dangerous person like Lagoa.

However, he did not know what disadvantages he would face if he refused the order of the chief of peace.

Three men came down the stairs as he was at a loss in front of unreasonable instructions.

Elio and the others had come down to eat.

A blush appeared on Reinhide’s face as he inadvertently looked towards the stairs.

“Marshal, the man standing in the lead over there is the adventurer named Goa that you have been looking for.”

After he finished speaking, he quickly retreated back before the marshal could bring in the guards.

While looking for an empty seat, Elio’s eyes turned to two strangers.

“Which of the two of them is the marshal?”

Investigator Miriam Sayne hesitated to shout at the criminal’s disrespect.

I heard that he was a young adventurer, but his heavy eyes seemed like something he shouldn’t do carelessly.

“The person next to me is Baron Fred Bettel, Cruly’s chief constable. I’m Miriam Sayn, investigator. Are you an adventurer named Lagoa?”

She temporarily put the ‘accusation of the murder of nine adventurers’ behind.

It was because it was more important to know exactly who the other person was now.

Instead of answering, Elio leisurely walked to the window seat and sat down.

As Marshal Baron Fred Bettel’s eyebrows twitched, Fabian stepped out.

“Since you are curious about who Lord Lagoa is, let me introduce you. Guardian of the Skutum (Ice Wall) that protects the continent! The legitimate ruler of the Duchy of Lorraine, Latinus, and Northern Slash Land! A great grand master who stands shoulder to shoulder with Archduke Kaiser Knauf, the fittest son of the sword! This is Count Elio Lagoa! Opposite Count Lagoa is Count Larva Omar, the sword master known as the ‘Tiger of the Kingdom of Baylem’, and I am Baron Fabian Cloud, the ‘Knight of the Rift’.”

In time, Fabian handed over his title certificate to Baron Fred Bettel.

There was also a travel certificate guaranteed by the Duke of Berracht Wulfs, the Duke of the Duchy of Lorraine, but since the Empire and the Southern Kingdom were at war, it was replaced with a title certificate from the Northern Kingdom.

The southern and northern kingdoms have been allies for a long time.

Even if it wasn’t that, there was no one in the southern kingdom who didn’t know the name of Count Elio Lagoa.

The hero of the Northern Kingdom who defeated the demon lords and defeated the Empire’s sword masters on the ice wall of Hirhera.

Recently, he was tricked by the emperor and was given the title of count, but Count Helio Lagoa was the pride of the knights of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms.

Baron Fred Vettel politely returned the title certificate to Baron Fabian Cloud.

And he bowed toward Count Elio Lagoa.

“It is an honor for me and my family to meet the Great Hero of the North. Thanks to Your Excellency killing the bandits, the citizens of Crulli are safer. On behalf of the citizens of Crulli, thank you, Your Excellency, for your hard work.”

Elio replied with a puzzled face.

“What an honor. If you’re here for something, tell me. Don’t talk about it later.”

“doesn’t exist. However, if you have to say it, there are many cases where mercenaries have recently turned into robbers. Of course, it won’t do any harm to His Excellency, but it poses a great threat to other adventurers and citizens, so please don’t ignore it and beg for punishment.”

Miriam Sayn glanced at the demented marshal.

The chief of the peace, who is supposed to catch the private sanctions, asked for it?

This was more than just pretending not to know and wagging his tail.
