Chapter 435: No Right to Arrest

The investigator quickly flipped open the record book.

Wu Heng asked the skeleton to open the straw mat, and then directly released [Talking with the Dead].

The corpse with bullet holes all over his body suddenly sat up, and looked at the few people with turbid pupils.

"You ask about your affairs." Imilo said.

Wu Heng stepped forward and asked directly: "Who ordered you to capture the Nautilus Tavern?"

The corpse replied, "The newly formed guard leader, Greco!"

Everyone was stunned when this was said.

It's not the revenge of the pirates.

But the leader of the island?

Just formed, did not go to capture the pirates, the first person to come to target the association.

Wu Heng glanced at the others.

Instead of asking more questions, he avoided the corpse's gaze and looked at Xilagui, "Who is it?"

"Lighthouse Street, the leader of the newly formed guard." Xilagui explained, and then asked in confusion, "You don't know him? Then why did he kill you?"

"I don't know him. I don't even know who is in this newly formed guard."

Imilo stretched out his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two and said directly: "Xilagui, you know this person. Now take the team to capture him. If he resists, you can kill him directly."

"Yes!" Xilagui agreed, walked out with his hand on the hilt of the sword, called two teams, and went down the boat to capture people directly.

Imilo turned around, "Keep asking."

Wu Heng nodded, then looked at the corpse, "Greco, what did I tell you?"

The corpse replied, "Kidnap the tavern owner and lead out the person behind the scenes, and 5 gold coins afterwards."

5 gold coins, one doesn't sound much, but it is far more than the normal reward price.

Catching a tavern owner is already a sky-high price.

Wu Heng then asked, "Before you saw me, did you know who was behind the tavern owner?"

"I don't know."

"If I hadn't shown up, what would your next plan be?"

The corpse replied, "Kill, bury the body, and go back to get the money."

"Besides 'Greco', who else is the main person?"

"No one, I only know him."

After the five questions were over, the corpse lay back down.

The investigator began to record them.

Then, Wu Heng continued to release [Talk to the Dead] on the second corpse.

The person who instructed and some other questions were confirmed.

The answers were basically the same as the first one.

The five people were hired by this 'Greco' to kidnap 'Millison' directly from the tavern.

But they didn't know that this matter was related to the association, and they just thought it was a simple kidnapping and murder.

If they knew, they would most likely not take on this job.

"It seems that this 'Greco' really did it." Wu Heng turned around.

The rest of the people looked at him in surprise.

Several questions about the second corpse also helped them figure out the situation.

Someone was caught at dusk, and they were rescued just after nightfall.

He killed a squad and found out the mastermind behind the scenes.

What a speed.

You didn't tie them up that fast!

The rest of the people were surprised, and the investigator was still recording.

Imilo looked at him, "What's the conflict between you and the guards?"

"I don't know them, and I haven't talked to them!" Wu Heng said, and then said with some doubt: "A few days ago, someone from the guards went to my place to check and was driven out by the skeleton, but they didn't want to kill me."

"It won't be because of such a trivial matter." Imilo said lightly.

Wu Heng thought so too.

"Then it could be Blank Envelope or the Secret Order, because I have a grudge against them because of some previous cases."

"You mean, this leader is from these two organizations?"

"That's the only explanation. I haven't had much contact with other forces. The fact that I can find out about the Nautilus Tavern proves that someone has been investigating my affairs for a long time." Wu Heng analyzed.

"Well, the analysis makes sense."

While the two were talking, a team member ran in quickly.

"Deacon, deputy deacon, Greco was found at the port, and he has already fought with Deputy Deacon Xilagui."

At the port?

This is leaving the port.

It's him.

"Deacon, what should we do?"

Imilo said: "Catch him, and bring him back before the island guards intervene."

"Understood!"

Wu Heng walked out of the cabin quickly with the skeleton.

...

Walked onto the deck.

He looked towards the location of the public port.

Xilagui held a long sword, with circles of magic halos under her feet. She moved quickly and nimbly, attacking the young man opposite.

The other team members also cooperated in the attack.

On the opposite side, a young man in a gray cloak retreated while resisting the siege of the association.

"It's him!"

Wu Heng had really seen this man before.

And I have a deep impression of him.

Last time, when I brought ‘Philippa’ back to see her mother, this man gave a speech at the port.

The content was average, but there was a group of ladies and nobles cheering and supporting him.

At that time, I took a special look at his appearance.

Is he ‘Greco’?

I don’t know him.

At this time, the man was dealing with the attack of Xilagui and the other members. Although he kept retreating, he was still able to hold on.

His strength is definitely above level 12.

Among humans, he is also a genius.

Wu Heng took the skeleton off the boat, squeezed through the crowd, and hurried over.

"I am the commander of the Treasure Island Guard. You have no reason to arrest a local ruler."

"Xilagui, recognize your strength. I want to fight to the death, and you will not get any benefits."

The man said while fighting.

When he saw Wu Heng and the attendants behind him, his face became even uglier.

The long sword in his hand swept away ‘Xilagui’, the body stepped back two steps, flipped his hand and tore a scroll suddenly.

Whoosh~!

The wind and snow rose in the middle, blowing everyone to the left and right, blocking the view.

“He wants to escape.” A team of rangers shouted.

Wu Heng quickly ran sideways to avoid the wind.

Raised his hand and fired.

Bang bang bang~!

The gunshots rang out, and the leader of the running guard staggered.

The thigh, buttocks, and lower back were all shot.

The body also fell to the ground.

Xilagui’s body forced through the wind and snow, burst out, and rushed in front of him.

The long sword was against the opponent’s neck, "Don’t move, the deacon said that he can kill you directly!"

The scroll effect disappeared.

The team members also rushed over.

“Take it to the deacon.” The team members took the opponent and walked towards the direction of the ship.

The man stared at Wu Heng fiercely.

…

Cabin.

Greco gritted his teeth and said, "I just captured a woman. It's okay to compensate her with some money. There's no need to make such a fuss."

"What you did is totally against the rules. I am the commander of the guards on the island. Your association is arresting people at random."

The interrogation still yielded no results.

Greco insisted on one thing: he was just lustful and fell in love with the tavern owner, so he was kidnapped.

He had no idea that he had anything to do with the association.

Wu Heng looked at Imilo.

Since we are following the association's procedures, the next step depends on what Imilo says.

"Kill him and interrogate the corpse!"
