Chapter 247 The Night Watch Captain's Investigation

The breeze was blowing gently, and the sun had just risen, reflecting an orange-red light through the clouds on the horizon, illuminating the entire town.

The early-rising townspeople hurriedly walked on the streets, stalls in front of various shops opened one after another, and the shopkeepers were busy preparing for the day's business. Birds sang happily on the treetops, adding a touch of vitality and vitality to the morning, and the entire town was enveloped in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

Nasir Town.

A black carriage stopped in the town. A mature man with a straight figure and full of masculine charm opened the door of the carriage and stepped out steadily.

His black tuxedo was neat, and he stared at everything around him with melancholy eyes. Behind him came three Night Watch teammates of completely different ages.

Louis is the captain of the first team of the Fein City Night Watch, a blood knight with a qualitative transformation.

He is not a Siyat, but a Valerian. In fact, all the night watchmen in every city are transferred from other places.

In order to prevent local people from colluding with local nobles, the church adopted a system that night watchmen in local cities must not employ local people.

Although it was his first time to visit Nasir Town, Louis could clearly feel the difference of this town as soon as he got off the carriage.

It's developed a little too well.

After just walking around for an afternoon, Louis couldn't help but marvel at the vigorous development of this town.

"Among the four eastern countries, I thought that Valere and Cania were the most developed countries. I never expected that there are many good places in Siat."

Because they had been shopping for a while, Lewis’s subordinates nodded slightly.

"Indeed, captain, this town called Nasir looks good. Although its population and area are not as large as Fein City, it can barely be regarded as a small city."

Over the years, the population of Nasir Town has surged and various industries have developed.

Before Byrne disappeared, he had speculated that as long as the railway construction was completed, Nasir Town could become a new city in a short time.

Louis took a deep breath, felt the salty smell of the sea, and murmured to himself: "Seaside towns are really charming for an inland person like me, and I kind of want to stay here forever."

However, they did not come to this town for a leisure vacation, but because of Colonel Abel's report, they were ordered to investigate the situation of the Fisher family.

At the same time, Director Carly will also secretly investigate the Lion family.

Many people said that Abel's mental state was abnormal, and people in the night watchers suspected that it might be related to supernatural power, or even because of the heretical cult.

"I hope we can find something on both sides. No, it's better not to find anything."

Louis sighed and shook his head. Unlike Director Carly, who was a bit fanatical and hateful, he actually felt that this night watchman job was just a job.

If a special situation is discovered, Lewis will take it seriously, but if nothing is found after a search, he will leave immediately and will never stalk him again.

Arriving in the hotel room, the night watchmen began a meeting about what to do next.

"It will take us at most a month to find out some clues, but if it takes more than a month, we can leave."

“It’s impossible to work overtime.”

Louis murmured to himself, and then his only female subordinate heard him.

The female subordinate grabbed his arm and couldn't help shouting: "Captain Lewis! We must work hard for God! Come on!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Louis took a deep breath, and then said helplessly and lazily: "We cannot reveal our identities, we cannot wear uniforms during this period, and everything must be kept confidential."

"Let's start with the ordinary people around us to see if they know anything. By the way, we should not contact those extraordinary people during this period, so as not to alarm the Fisher family."

He paused and continued: "Although among ordinary people, there are probably people from the Fisher family."

"But this kind of thing is unavoidable."

First, Louis started investigating from the hotel where everyone was staying. He gave the waitress a little extra tip in the evening, and then started asking questions.

"Hello."

The slender and thin woman was a dragonborn, with a weak face, and said expressionlessly: "Guest, my name is Lily, and I am the waitress of this hotel. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."

"Let me tell you first that I will not have any... physical contact with the guests."

Louis took a sip of wine and looked at her with the strength of the wine, and found that there were very few gray scales on her skin, and her neat gray hair was left to her waist.

"Miss Lily, I want to ask you about some little things."

Lily's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately:

"What? As long as there's a tip, I can say anything!"

Lewis nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"Well, there are some things about this town. Have you heard of any strange things, such as whether anyone has disappeared, or similar mysterious rumors."

In order to avoid the possibility of the townspeople reporting the news, Louis did not directly target the Fisher family, but first asked about various special circumstances in the local area.

That's a rule of thumb. Where heretics take root, there will often be eye-catching situations such as missing persons or strange phenomena.

Because in order to obtain sacrifices and perform various rituals and spells, the heretics had to plunder and kidnap the local population and create various mysterious events.

Therefore, experienced people would start with these things when investigating heresy.

"Why do you ask such things?" The waitress was stunned.

Louis laughed and took out a booklet with a lot of messy things drawn on it, and then said: "Because I am a scholar who is very interested in extraordinary events and have been pursuing mysterious phenomena."

The waitress thought for a moment, and finally said carefully:

"Disappearance of population? It hasn't happened in recent years. As for the strange things you said, there have been. The bar next door loses flesh and blood every night."

"Disappearing flesh and blood? Go on?"

Louis wrote down a lot of things Lily said, and then took a subordinate to the bar next door to investigate before it was time to get off work.

However, they soon found that the culprit was just the cats and dogs nearby, but investigations are like this. Most of the time, they return in vain, and several people are not discouraged.

In the next few days, the night watchmen inquired about the situation from the surrounding townspeople and even tried to bribe them with money.

And Louis's female subordinate disguised herself as a female homeless beggar who was begging at the meeting place. Innocent women disguised as her were actually the easiest targets for the heretical cult.

In short, it was fishing.

However, the night watchmen investigated for half a month, but they still found nothing.

They also accidentally solved a murder case in Nasir Town and almost exposed their true identities.

"Let's end it, let's go back."

One night, Louis looked at the few people and suddenly spoke.

The female subordinate was a little excited and asked, "The Fisher family is not abnormal? Mr. Louis, do you want to draw a conclusion so quickly? Obviously we have made a lot of efforts."

Louis shook his head slowly and said calmly:

"No, I don't know if they are abnormal, but there will be no results if we continue to investigate like this."

"There are only two situations. Either they have managed the entire town perfectly and have been playing tricks on us, or they really have no problems."

"But in any case, our investigation should have been known. There will be no results next, and it may even lead to misleading and danger."

Louis pondered silently. There is a most dangerous and terrible situation. The Fisher family may have been eyeing them from the moment they entered here.

And everyone's actions are controlled by the mysterious family, and they will not easily reveal flaws.

Louis laughed and said:

"Anyway, there is no hope for conventional investigation. Only by raiding the manor and checking if there are any strange basements or heretical relics, maybe there will be some results."

The female subordinate was no longer excited. She took a deep breath and said:

"But we need evidence to raid, right? Even if we are the Night Watchmen, we can't do that kind of thing just because of a report. The other party is the actual ruler of the Four Towns."

Louis raised his eyebrows and laughed:

"Hehehe, if it's those people from the Condemners, they will dare to do that."

The female subordinate's face changed slightly. She had heard that many of the Condemners were clergy who had committed sins in the past. Now, they were approved to work for the churches to atone for their sins.

Louis put his hand under his chin and said slowly and calmly:

"There are many rumors about the Fisher family. They rose very quickly, and the family members have shown many different extraordinary powers."

"For decades, everyone who opposed them died one by one. This family is terrible, even more terrible than a lion."

"We must be fully prepared to confront it head-on, otherwise the best way is to leave."

--

In the basement of the Fisher family, the family members watched the night watchmen leave Nasir Town through the barrier "Black Mirror", and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lily, who played the role of the hotel waiter, was actually Licia. She had been responsible for monitoring those people during this period.

Vanessa frowned and said, "The night watchmen finally left. I have been worried for the past half month."

Darren shook his head slowly and said, "Don't worry, there will be various investigations on us in the future, so there is no use in worrying."

"But compared to those things, the most important thing is that we can go our own way."

He showed a very subtle smile on his face.

"I can feel that the third-tier sequence power is being digested very slowly. I need to do something, hehe."
