Last Totem Novel - Chapter 228
Chapter 228 Frame
After the two of them separated, Tie Zha found a small hotel in the Store Street and stayed in it. As soon as he finished absorbing the ability, he had to sleep first to fully adapt his body to the new mutated gene fragment. The reason he chose not to return to the camp was because his new ability, the Ant Wings, had yet to stabilize. He was worried that during his sleep, the membrane wings would grow out of control.
After paying five silver coins, Tie Zha went to a small room on the second floor. He pushed the door open and entered. The room was very narrow, with only about five square meters of space. Other than a single bed against the wall, a small round table, a wooden chair with a backrest and an old TV set, there was nothing else. This kind of cheap hotel, also known as “traveler’s dormitory”, is characterized by narrow rooms, simple furniture, low prices and no separate bathroom. In the past, when he went to Sand City, he would occasionally stay for a day or two.
Lock the door, close the window, check the latch again, he fell on the bed, and soon fell asleep …
This time, he slept soundly, neither dreaming nor waking up halfway. However, while he was asleep, his body underwent earth-shaking changes. Hundreds of millions of old cells gradually died, and the new cells devoured the remains of the old cells crazily, gradually strengthening themselves. As the cells changed from old to new, his entire body emitted high heat. Sparks of azure light overflowed from his body, forming a faint nebula around his body …
After an unknown amount of time, the sun in Desert Five rose into the sky. The afternoon sun shone through the thin curtains and quietly fell on the small room. It was 11 p.m. Silver City Time and 81 p.m. Satt Time when Tie Zha woke up. Opening his eyes, he seemed to feel that the entire world had changed, becoming brighter and clearer. At this moment, his entire body was indescribably comfortable. It was as if he had regained his life, and his stamina and spirit had recovered to their peak state.
Not long after, he got up, twisted his neck, put on his boots, tied his shoelaces, carried his weapon, and left the room. After settling the accounts, he headed east along the main street, walked onto the oil road, and returned to the camp of the Academy Alliance.
Fifty hours had passed since he left the camp, which was equivalent to two days and two nights in the Silver City world. However, just as he entered the tent, Wang Hu greeted him and said that two agents from the Sand Wind Castle Police Department had come to request to see him.
Tie Zha couldn’t help but frown as he crossed Wang Hu and quickly walked towards the resting area. Not long after he arrived here, he didn’t have any contact with the people from the Sand Wind Castle Police Department, but the other party had come to find him at this moment. Perhaps it wouldn’t be good news.
In the resting area, Tie Zha saw two agents wearing dark blue uniforms and silver hexagon badges on their left chests.
“Hello, Guild Leader Sa Jia Qi, this is Detective Vick. Excuse me.” The middle-aged man in the lead stood up and said.
Tie Zha nodded and sat down on the sofa opposite him, asking, “Inspector Vick, what can I do for you?”
Inspector Vick paused for a moment before continuing, “Captain Sachacha, this is what happened. Twenty hours ago, two students from your group were killed in Sand Wind Castle. After an initial autopsy, they were shot several times and their heads were broken by a heavy weapon.”
Upon hearing this news, Tie Zha was immediately shocked. He sat up straight and asked, “Who did this?”
“This … we heard that they have just been dismissed by you. Is that so?” Inspector Vick asked.
“Yes.” Tie Zha replied.
“Guild Leader Sa Jia Qi, what mistakes did they make?” Inspector Vick asked, then turned to look at his companion beside him. The latter immediately took out a pen and a small notebook and made a gesture of recording.
“Sorry, this is an internal affair of the Wolf Legion. It’s not convenient to make it public.” Tie Zha said indifferently. According to the rules of the World Council, the local garrison had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Academy’s legion unless they had the permission of the upper echelons of the Academy Alliance.
As soon as he finished speaking, Inspector Vick took out a warrant and showed it to Sacha. To be sure, this was a letter of authorization to the effect that Inspector Vick was authorized to investigate the murder of two former members of the werewolf corps, and the signature at the bottom of the document was “Maura Gallio”.
Tie Zha’s brows furrowed as he looked at the power of attorney. Maura Gallio’s authorization was a blatant betrayal of the academy’s team.
“Unfortunately, I’m not under Maura Gallio’s jurisdiction.” Tie Zha withdrew his gaze and placed his hands on his chest as he spoke.
“Guild Leader Sa Jia Qi, you can contact the student council of the Central Silver City Military Academy and ask them to consult with General Gallio. However, this letter of authorization is valid for you and you have an obligation to cooperate with us in investigating the incident.”
“Is that so?” Tie Zha spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and asked casually.
“Yes, we have obtained General Gallio’s authorization. If necessary, the Sand Wind Castle garrison will cooperate with us and directly enter the Academy Alliance’s camp” Inspector Vick threatened.
In an instant, Tie Zha’s pupils suddenly shrank. General Gallio’s actions were nothing more than taking his salary from the bottom of his heart and throwing stones at the bottom of a well. Although he felt resentful, he was no longer the impulsive teenager from Tieshan Town. So he quickly calmed down and asked, “Then, how should I cooperate with you?”
“Come with us. Go to the police station and cooperate with us in investigating the whole incident.” Guild Leader Vick stood up and said, “Don’t worry, the Sand Wind Castle Garrison has always upheld a fair law enforcement attitude.”
Tie Zha nodded and called Wang Hu to inform him of the situation. Not long after, Tie Zha followed the two agents out of the tent and got into the jeep of the White and Blue Garrison. Right at this moment, Porcupine, Match, Tuoba San, and Marcus led the elites of the fully-armored, shoulder-to-shoulder Rocket Artillery Legion out of the tents on both sides. Following the order of Deputy Commander Wang Hu, they jumped onto the truck and followed closely behind the jeep.
“Guild Leader Sa Jia Qi, what … what do you mean?” Inspector Vick asked nervously as he looked at the wolf-like Marines.
“What’s the matter?” Tie Zha asked.
Before Inspector Vick could finish his sentence, a loud rumble came from the tent in the middle, forcefully interrupting him. In the next moment, Mu Qianhe drove the Tiger Mech and led the Mech team out. Then, they lined up in two rows and guarded the jeep on both sides.
“Let’s go.” Tie Zha made a “please” gesture and said.
At this moment, Inspector Vick regretted accepting the case. If not for Edward Sossi’s urging and repeated assertions that Commander Sacha had no backing, he would not have been willing to face the prickly leaders of the Academy Alliance. He even felt that even if he could convict the other party, he might be torn to pieces the next day.
A few minutes later, the jeep drove out of the Academy Alliance’s camp. Because the mecha could not enter the city, Mu Qianhe only went to the Po Yau Road and led the mecha team back to the camp. Porcupine, on the other hand, led four troop carriers and trucks to follow behind the jeep.
Half an hour later, the jeep drove out of the oil pavement and turned into the city to a trapezoidal building. Under Inspector Vick’s lead, Tie Zha got on the elevator and arrived at an office. Returning to his own territory, Inspector Vick looked much more relaxed. He had his companion pour three cups of tea and began to ask.
“Commander Sa Jia Qi, where are you from?” The inspector asked.
“War Bear Temple.” “Can you explain where you are at 60 p.m. Satt time?” “Hotel, sleep.” “Do you have a witness?” “Hotel receptionist.” “Has this waiter been following you? Or has she only proved that you did not leave through the main entrance of the hotel?” “Yes.” “Are there any other witnesses? Then, can you explain why you left the camp?”
Tie Zha thought for a moment and couldn’t explain the real reason. On the one hand, the cold storage was the secret of an insecticide, and on the other hand, he would reveal his identity as an insecticide if he said it out loud. Thinking about it, he thought for a moment and said, “Go to the bar to drink and find a girl.”
“Which bar?” “Big Rum.” “A bar on the East Shop Street?” ‘”Is there a witness?” “A girl has been following me.” “Is she a bar girl?” “Perhaps …”
‘”Captain Sacha, I must remind you” Inspector Vick raised his head and said, “Flowing Warbler can’t be a witness. They took the money and are willing to do anything.”
“Then there’s nothing I can do.” Tie Zha spread out his hands and said.
“If there is no alibi, you may be regarded as one of the suspects.” Inspector Vick said.
“And then?” Tie Zha asked indifferently.
“Unfortunately, you may be temporarily detained until the truth is known.” Inspector Vick said helplessly. Then he picked up the paper cup and stood up. As he walked to the office door, he said, “Think about it again. Please keep me informed of any new developments.”
‘”Wait” When Inspector Vick was about to reach the door, Tie Zha stopped him and asked, “Who ordered you?” The former stopped, turned around and said, “Nobody.”
Tie Zha looked at the middle-aged inspector and said coldly, “Inspector Vick, let me remind you, don’t offend a lion for an ant. It’s not worth it.” Inspector Vick did not answer. He only looked at him with a complicated expression and left the office with his companions. After a light sound, the door was closed and the office returned to peace.
Tie Zha picked up the paper cup and took a sip of tea, thinking about how to get rid of the current predicament. The only conflict he had when he had just arrived was with Edward Sosey. It wasn’t hard to guess that Inspector Vick had dared to make things so difficult for him because of the former’s instructions. Otherwise, how could an ordinary Inspector General of Windsand Castle take a huge political risk to detain a Commander of the Central Silver City Military Academy?
In addition, he estimated that Edward was most likely the one who killed the two men, because Edward knew exactly when they boarded the plane. Perhaps it was Edward who arranged their aircraft. It had to be said that Edward’s hand was very beautiful. It was like an arrow and three carvings.
First, he will be the biggest suspect in the case, because the two members had a fierce conflict with him, so he was expelled, so he had the motive to kill them; Secondly, Edward could use this to damage the morale of the werewolf army and cause panic among the players. Thirdly, this incident could also trigger internal conflicts within the Wolf Legion, and even directly cause turmoil at the core of the guild.
