It's coming with force!

If you are not careful, you may not be able to get out of Raging Wave City.

Facing the big hands that were "manipulating" behind Inspector Meteor's back, Yaomington could only suppress his temper. He would first see what situation Virgil was in, and then think of other ways to rescue him.

The imperial agent on the side opened the prison and everyone walked in.

Congressman Virgil huddled in a corner, his head buried between his knees, his hair as messy as a bird's nest, and his body exuded a rancid smell. He ignored the people who entered the prison, and muttered nervously:

"I'm guilty...I'm guilty...I'm guilty..."

Yomington immediately walked over, hugged Virgil's shoulders with concern and said: "Fergil, Virgil, look who I am... I am Yomington, and Lord Gabriel sent me to see you.

We all believe you are innocent and we will get you out."

Virgil raised his head and looked at Yomington with dull eyes: "No, I am not innocent, I am guilty! I lied, cheated, and stole... I am a heinous criminal."

Yomington could tell that Virgil had become delirious under the influence of the mental mill here. His mental barriers were collapsing. If he was allowed to stay here, he would be a useless person even if he was rescued.

"Congressman Virgil, you must be strong and concentrate your will to resist mental hallucinations. Remember! You are an upright imperial noble. The Chief Minister thinks very highly of you and he will not give up on you.

You have to keep at it!”

"Chief Assistant!" Virgil's eyes were focused, and he said with a little sparkle, "Please tell Sir Gabriel that I know who stole that batch of gold...it was him!"

Virgil pointed at Luke and said angrily: "It was he and Ibel who stole that batch of gold."

Luke, who was standing aside, smiled and said: "Who is the batch of gold that Ibur and I stole for?"

When Yomington realized something was wrong and was about to stop him, Virgil already said: "It's for Mr. Chief Assistant. Mr. Yomington, the nine tons of gold were stolen by him and Ibur, and they falsely accused me.

Stolen!"

Yomington immediately distanced himself from Virgil and said sternly: "Vigil, you are crazy, don't talk nonsense!"

Virgil took Yaomington's arm: "Please, take me out now. I can't stay here anymore, it's endless darkness.

Please, take me away."

Luke said: "I have many questions to ask you... After answering them, I will let you go with Lord Yomington."

"good!"

"No!" Yomington hurriedly stopped: "Congressman Virgil is delirious right now. Anything he says has no legal effect and cannot be used as evidence to accuse anyone. Detective Meteor, the congressman is in urgent need of treatment now. If he

Really crazy, it won't do you any good!

Please stop! Please respect an Imperial Lord!"

Yomington used magic to put Virgil to sleep, and then stopped Luke from interrogating him. According to Virgil's current state, he will definitely tell a lot of things that he cannot bear.

If he could, he wanted to kill Virgil now.

This prison is so weird!

Luke sneered: "Only evidence is required in court. Our Secret Intelligence Service only recognizes facts. We also hope that you and the Chief Assistant can also see the facts clearly. Even if I don't ask, in a few days, Representative Virgil himself will tell him

Tell everything you know.

There are some things that I can pretend not to know if I haven't heard them. If I hear them... I must take action. This is my duty as an imperial spy and His Majesty's personal soldier.

You can take Virgil away this time, but you must show enough sincerity!"

Yomington did not expect that Inspector Meteor would be willing to hand over Virgil to him after burning the chief judge's order letter.

Of course... the price of the exchange was definitely not what I had prepared before.

"what do you want?"

Luke looked at the sleeping Virgil and said, "You can't decide what I want. Even if you promise something, it's a lie that can be torn up at any time.

After much deliberation, the most practical thing is to ask for money. Twenty thousand gold coupons shouldn't be too difficult for you to solve. Once I see the money, you can take the person away."

Yaomington's expression froze.

This Meteor Inspector really doesn’t follow common sense!

I had just anticipated at least ten harsh demands that he would make in a short period of time, and had thought about how to respond to these demands. But I never expected that this man would openly ask for money directly.

Is it that simple? Is it that straightforward? Is it that easy?

"Detective, is your request...serious?"

Luke smiled and said: "Not very seriously. If you feel that it is not serious enough, I can seriously consider changing your request."

"No!" Yomington realized that the question he just asked was unprofessional, and he immediately said: "I will send someone to prepare the money immediately, and it will be delivered here before nightfall today."

"No receipt."

"No receipt is needed, I will just take Congressman Virgil with me."

"The title of Congressman can be removed."

"Yes, he is indeed not suitable to be a member of Parliament in this state."

"Very good, we'll wait here, pay the money with one hand and hand over the person with the other."

"Thanks, Inspector."

"Hahaha, you can think about your price now."

…

It was not difficult for Yomington to raise 20,000 gold coupons in Raging Waves City. The money was delivered before dark, and Luke readily released Virgil.

There's no point keeping it anyway.

His state and the words he said were doomed to end his official career. It would be impossible for Yaomington to put him back into a more important position and prevent him from being shot in the back and commit suicide.

Luke also didn’t want to be kept in mind by Yomington because of his imprisonment of Virgil. After showing his tough attitude at the right time, he borrowed the Poxia donkey to retreat from the first line to the second line. There were Mrs. Mihir, Councilor Ibur and Is

Viscount Colan, there is no need to charge forward. The generals of both sides should leave some space for each other so that they can advance and retreat with a solid foundation.

Besides... twenty thousand gold coupons!

Isn't it just to make money when I become the "Inspector" in Nutao City? Can I really do what I love? Be loyal to the emperor and investigate taxes and corrupt officials?

Stick to your heart and never put the cart before the horse.

Holding the bag containing 20,000 gold coupons, he returned to the dormitory happily. Luke did not immediately use the "rotation of present and future" secret technique. He had not figured out what the bird egg he got from the last time he used the secret technique was.

It is better to use secret techniques with caution.

If you summon something that Qingkong can't defeat, wouldn't you be setting yourself up for a trap?

And there is a party tonight...need clear skies to attend.

The city of Raging Waves turned into darkness.

After Yomington sent Virgil to the hospital and sent someone to take close care of him, he returned to his residence. Under the lamp, he laid a piece of paper on the table and picked up a pen to write a letter to his chief assistant, Gabriel.

This direct confrontation with Inspector Meteor left a very deep impression on him.

"This is a very difficult guy. I can't predict what he will do next. All rules can be broken in front of him. He is not a traditional imperial official, nor is he the secret agent I knew before.

.

I can understand why Raging Wave City has undergone such a big change in such a short period of time. They are facing an unpredictable opponent, and he has the full support of the eldest princess and even His Majesty.

His identity is definitely not that of a detective. A detective would not gain such trust from Her Highness the Princess, nor would he be so bold. He must be the Princess's most trusted confidant and have a special identity.

I hope you can inquire about the true identity of the meteor in the imperial capital.

Also be prepared to... give up some people and interests.

including me……"

After Yomington finished writing the letter, he put it in an envelope, sealed it with special wax, and stamped it with his own magic seal.

Leave it to your subordinates to send it to Shenglun City as quickly as possible.

Then Yeomington opened the drawer and took out a wooden pipe. He had quit smoking for a long time, but he still used to carry this favorite pipe with him, as well as the tobacco leaf bag, and occasionally take it out to smell the smoke inside.

taste.

But this time he poured some tobacco leaves into the pipe, lit it and started smoking.

In the smoke, he felt as if he was back in that prison again. But it was not Virgil who was huddled in the corner, but himself. There was endless darkness and fear was everywhere.

Yomington blew out a puff of smoke again.
