Quenched long order

Chapter 211 Everyone gets what they need

Sauer closed his eyes, and his memories dispersed like clouds. He was swimming among them like a fish, but he could never find the words he just heard.

Is there something wrong with his memory again?

This conjecture was immediately rejected by him.

Neither Sandman's dream nor hallucination could explain all this. At this moment, he even thought of a possibility that frightened him.

Perhaps, everything comes from his imagination. The real him is actually a vegetative state lying on the hospital bed.

After a brief absence, he recovered his thoughts and focused again on what he had just said.

"If the relic called empathy can see memories, and it is from my perspective, then there are two things to be aware of. The first is Natalie's sneak attack on 'me'..."

The silent chanting in his mind paused momentarily, and a woman with crooked eyebrows like the moon appeared in his mind.

"When I asked these questions, the word in my memory was 'you'. That is to say, both Garland and Natalie entered 'inside' and saw something that changed their ideas, or like Reggie Like Bill, Si's body has mutated, and then he leaves and kills 'me'... Could it be the Golden Lady?"

Sauer shook his head.

In any case, he cannot match the memory of seeing the relic with his own memory. At present, the best explanation may be that there is something wrong with the relic, or there is something wrong with the interrogator wearing the relic. Otherwise, he can only use Use more wild ideas to explain.

The door of the interrogation room was suddenly opened.

Sauer opened his eyes.

The interrogator who had just taken notes was standing at the door, looking at Sauer with complicated eyes, as if he was looking at a monster.

"He drowned."

"Who?" Sauer asked, but did not pursue the question. The answer was simple.

With a clang, the door was closed, and the interrogation room was quiet again.

Outside the interrogation room.

Captain Miranda watched everything silently, and most of the time, Sauer's reaction was seen by her.

"He doesn't know either."

She turned to look at Edward beside her.

Edward nodded, turned around, looked deeply, and replied: "I want to open his soul and see. Everything is the same these days."

……

shoe store.

Hume turned his back to Kraut and stared out the window.

"Martin wants to destroy this city. If he can't take it away, he won't leave it to others."

"Clout, whether it's you, me, or anyone else, as long as you still live in Westwood Port, as long as you still need Westwood Port, Martin will be our enemy."

"However, ordinary people living in Ximugang don't know that Martin has become a representative figure of Ximugang unconsciously. He is deeply loved by the people and he always appears in front of the public as a considerate city lord. , Now, Martin is dead, and I want to tell everyone that Martin wanted to destroy Ximu Port and the city he loved his whole life, so he was killed. Do you think the people of Ximu Port can accept it?"

People are different, and so are their deaths.

"Is this why you are acting?" Kraut looked at Hume's back, which looked very deserted in the moonlight. "Do you need one person to bear the anger of the people? You can't let Martin's plan be exposed, and you can't let anyone investigate. Just like that, let Martin pass away in front of the people in a shocking way, for... this city?"

Hume turned around and said seriously: "Clout, we have to focus on the future."

"Why Sauer?" Kraut brought the topic back.

"Because..." Hume took a deep breath, the smell of dust brought a sense of age, "...it was indeed Sauer who killed Martin."

There was a brief silence.

Kraut adjusted his sleeves and did not answer. "So the murderer can only be him." Hume's eyes fell on Kraut's face. "In a few days, people from the royal city and some nearby cities will send people over. There are many skilled astrologers among them. Others will be used to come." If you replace Sauer, it will be easy for them to find out that there is something wrong, and by then, Ximu Port will be plunged into bloodshed again."

Kraut was not surprised by this.

Years of accumulation made Martin very popular and involved many interests. Now he was suddenly killed. Even if the murderer has been caught, multiple verifications are still needed to prevent problems.

There is nothing wrong with Hume's treatment.

Use a performance to control Martin's death to a minimum. On one side, he was killed by an outsider, and on the other side, Martin was killed because he wanted to destroy Westwood Port. Even if the latter had sufficient evidence, considering the stability of Westwood Port, and public sentiment, there is no doubt that choosing the former is more appropriate.

On the other hand, since the murderers were unified, it would be difficult to find the problem unless an extremely rigorous investigation was carried out. After all, by the time they arrived at Ximu Port, many of the evidence had disappeared.

but……

"Why did Sauer agree to your request?" Kraut asked, and he already had some answers in his mind.

"Because I promised him to spare his life, and I will send someone to protect you." Hume paused, seeming to observe the change in the expression on Kraut's face.

This kid...

Kraut sighed, but for some reason, he felt a little happy.

Hume continued:

"Claude, with your wisdom, you should understand that this is like an equivalent exchange in alchemy, and the same is true for transactions between people."

"The investigation team needs a living Sauer, and the people need a murderer. Therefore, the person who died at the execution ground today is a death row prisoner, not the Sauer you know."

"I need Westwood Port to be stable and convenient to take over the position of city lord. Therefore, what Martin did cannot be exposed. These things must be taken to the grave. Therefore, I need a murderer who will not be discovered. There is no doubt that Sauer is the only one. s Choice."

"Similarly, for Sauer, I spared his life and protected you so that he would not be affected when he was interrogated. For him, it was the best choice at that time."

"It's the same now. I'm telling you this. On the one hand, you helped Jason in the Black Domain Order. If it weren't for you, he would definitely not be able to come back. On the other hand, I don't want the investigation team to get too much information. Because their appetite may be much more than that.”

This is the answer to the future city lord of Ximu Port.

Kraut's face was buried in the shadows. Everything was reasonable and there was no problem.

But he felt like he was missing something...

A slender figure wearing a white mask appeared in his mind.

"Sauer was the only one at that time?" Kraut asked.

Hume was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Can I ask where you caught Sauer?" Kraut said calmly.

"I've already taken care of that place." Hume shook his head.

Kraut turned around and opened the door, then turned back and said, "Then, I would like to congratulate Mr. Hume in advance on becoming the next city lord of Westwood Port."

On the way back, Kraut thought about Hume's words several times and found no problem. The biggest problem was only one, and that was why Sauer was the only one there.

"With that person's strength, it is impossible for Sauer to be caught by Hume, so he must not have been there at that time. In addition, after so many days, Sauer is still detained in the investigation team. Could it be said that he has left? However, at that time The tone of the conversation between the two of them suggested that it was not just a customer relationship. Could it be that..."

He shook his head.

"...Forget it, rescue Shaoer first, and then just ask him directly."
