On the Seven Towers

Chu Ying was "invited" to the small building of the intelligence team by Peng Ziyi two days later. Since there was no substantive evidence, he could only assist in the investigation in name. Not only Chu Ying, but also all those who might have intersected with Baron Goya's testimony in time and place were invited to come and question them one by one.

Although it was only a preliminary investigation, it raised many doubts. After all, Chu Ying's two trips to Suero were documented, and there were people from various departments who went to Suero with him at that time. The testimony provided by Baron Goya can be matched one by one with what others said. However, Chu Ying's testimony contained various minor unreasonablenesses.

For example, Chu Ying clearly said that he went to the tavern alone, but the members of the business team who secretly went to the tavern at the same time did not meet him in the tavern. Or maybe he said he was going to the east of the city, but someone saw him at the intersection going to the west of the city. Putting these issues together, the exposed flaws become obvious.

Outside the interrogation room, Peng Ziyi said to Milda: "After we submitted the first interrogation record, the committee agreed to search Chu Ying's residence. You will go with today's search operation. If there are any secrets in his residence, you should be most likely to be found.”

Milda said: "It's too late to look for them now. I know you have suspected those people for a long time, so why don't you take the initiative? According to our abilities, we might just go to the door to search and the result might have been found."

"This is different. I have no right to follow and search a citizen's house without a warrant."

"Last time, I wasn't asked to follow people while they were eating."

Peng Ziyi smiled and said: "That's different. I have the authorization to monitor the mage coming to the capital. It's just that you happened to bump into Chang Lin and the others."

"But it's so refreshing to do it directly. Not only is it easier to catch the bad guys, justice will be served quickly."

Peng Ziyi pondered slightly: "But this is not the justice I pursue. The justice I pursue includes a certain degree of procedural justice. To put it simply, I don't want the injustice of the means to taint the justice of the result."

"I didn't understand."

"You've seen the movie, right?"

"I've seen it!" Milda nodded. Every weekend these days, movies will be played in the square in Hewan New District. She basically doesn't do it in every show, and she has watched quite a few of them now.

"There is a type of movie called superhero movie. In this kind of movie, there is always a protagonist with super powers who likes to carry out justice in his own way. I know that this kind of movie is very popular with people. After all, people in this world are longing for magic and fighting spirit. Power, when these powers are cultivated and powerful, everyone can be a superhero.

But have you ever thought that there is only one protagonist in the movie, and everything in that world revolves around his story, because everyone who disagrees with him is unjust, so his justice is clear in the movie. .

But what would it look like if we were in the real world and everyone realized their own justice? You know, ideal justice is a very subjective thing. "

Milda had never thought about the problem in this way, and she couldn't help but be speechless.

"For example, you think it is just to conduct a private search, but another person thinks it is just to stop you from invading other people's privacy. Do you have a duel to decide who is more just?"

"But I am not someone else. I have the identity of an intelligence team agent."

"If you can investigate others as you wish, and others can't stop you. If you use public tools for private purposes and abuse them, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?" Peng Ziyi asked rhetorically.

"I haven't thought about it so much. Even the mages in the Seven Towers era haven't thought about it so much. They can often decide who is right and who is wrong in the Mage Tower with just one sentence."

"So there must be a set of norms and a set of procedures to stipulate these things. It restricts what people like you and me cannot do. Or what to do in pursuit of justice. Although substantive justice is more important than procedural justice, Without procedural justice, it is too easy for us to go astray in the pursuit of substantive justice, so I don’t want to break the procedural rules, because the cost may be greater than letting the bad guys escape." Peng Ziyi saw Milda thinking blankly. He said, "Okay, but today you are undoubtedly a righteous friend. Let's go to work."

"Nerd." Milda rolled her eyes at him and followed her two companions to Chu Ying's residence.

Chu Ying's residence is a very ordinary one-bedroom apartment. He uses half of the bedroom as a study.

The houses here have not been occupied for a long time, so the furnishings are very simple and there are not many things inside.

Three members of the intelligence team searched the room for a long time and turned out a bunch of reports and information, but found nothing of value.

"These things seem to be normal documents from the business team, and some of the others are his personal things." Zhang Cunliang, a member of the intelligence team, said.

Ge Hao, another member of the intelligence team, said: "Mirda, use your ability to look for it. Is there any other tricks here? If not, we may have to return without success."

The ability of "Secret Search Index" is naturally very handy for exploring large spaces. But to detect the space bag or storage ring, it depends on the quality of those things themselves. The more advanced and powerful the space props are, the easier it is for Milda to find them. On the contrary, props that only compress a little space are not so easy to find. Just like a bit of white on a black background is eye-catching, but a dark gray is hard to spot.

Milda calmed down and felt for a long time, and suddenly found that there seemed to be some reaction on the cushions of the sofa.

This reaction is very weak. If you don't concentrate, you can't find it at all. Mirda walked over and lifted the cushion of the sofa. There was nothing underneath.

"Wait a minute, could it be inside the cushion cover?" Zhang Cunliang said.

This fabric sofa was brought from that world. He unzipped the back of the cushion and pulled the cover out. Sure enough, he saw a palm-sized bag inside.

"Space bag!"

"What is this?" Mirda took out some scrolls, crystals, and a sheepskin roll from the bag.

Ge Hao next to him said: "This seems to be a deed in Floro Town. Did this man named Alfonso sell the house to Chu Ying for thirty golden axes?"

"Maybe there will be clues there! Let's go now!"

Mirda and the two agents arrived in Floro Town half an hour later and found the house according to the original owner's name.

It was a two-story cottage, a good house in the town, but not very eye-catching.

Ge Hao looked around the houses and said, "Why did Chu Ying buy a house here? Isn't he afraid of being discovered?"

"The school has exchanged some houses in Frollo Town, saying that they will be used for future reconstruction. If he buys it among them, it won't be obvious. I guess he may be doing something here that is inconvenient to do in school." Zhang Cunliang said, "Besides, there are not many people in the town now. Most of the locals have moved to the Hewan New District. Most of the people living here are from the caravan. It's very messy and no one pays attention to him."
