The old wizard stroked his beard and said, "What do you mean? I can't catch anyone if I follow them?"

"That's not what I meant. If it really involves the local city lord or the army, the identity of the association elder will be more deterrent."

Gianvito didn't say much, "Go ahead, and don't forget to arrange for someone to come back and report."

"Okay, let's go."

The team was adjusted, and Wu Heng, Tapani and others went out to the Snake Emblem Group.

……

On the battleship.

The fifth princess stood on the deck, leaning her arms on the railing, looking towards the direction of Netale City, her long golden hair fluttering in the wind.

It took several months to leave the Kingdom of Yeko.

Now that I'm back, I didn't expect that the city of Netale, which was once the most prosperous and occupied the main maritime trade of the kingdom, has become what it is now.

It's like a city, a lifeless dead city.

She didn't know what the Treasure Island looked like in the past, but the current Netale City was definitely not as good as the Treasure Island.

One is becoming more and more prosperous, while the other is becoming more and more decadent.

Two completely opposite directions.

"It can't be that this is really related to the city of Netale!" the fifth princess muttered.

She absolutely admires and trusts the owner of Wuheng Island.

But I was worried that it might be found out that there was a connection with the officials of Netale City.

If this is true, then the disease is rotten to the core and there is no cure.

"Brittany, what are you doing?" Philippa came over from behind with some fruit in her hand, and also looked off into the distance.

“Look at the scenery.”

Philippa handed her a piece of fruit and asked, "Why do you believe that the mayor didn't kill the deacon?"

The fifth princess looked over and said, "It's not that I trust him, but I know his style of doing things. The advancement of the kingdom's system and the development of the entire Neitale City all have his suggestions. He would never kill a deacon."

Philippa chewed the fruit and muttered, "People's knowledge can change. How can you be sure that he hasn't changed, or that he was forced by the situation to do it?"

"You don't understand me."

"What do you mean!"

"He will change, but he is not a fool. The death of a deacon will bring serious consequences. A local manager will not allow this to happen, let alone do it himself." said the fifth princess.

Philippa thought for a moment, bit off some of the pulp and fed it to the parrot on her shoulder, "What if it's him!"

"How come you identified him?"

"My intuition is that someone is going to die on the ship, and there are no traces left behind, so the person who is most convenient to clean up the scene is the murderer or accomplice."

The fifth princess turned and stared at her, "Let's make a bet!"

"What are you gambling?"

"I bet on the tavern on your island." The fifth princess said directly.

Philippa raised her eyebrows, "Okay, so what if you lose?"

"As you wish."

"Be my subordinate for a month, and your little maid must obey me."

"Okay, wait till you cry!"

"I'm not a down-and-out princess who has never left home."

……

The original site of the Snake Emblem Consortium.

The door was closed and the pub sign on it had disappeared.

Everyone in the association stood at the door.

Wu Heng said: "The Snake Emblem Consortium here was originally located in the basement of this tavern, but now it is all closed."

Elder Tapani glanced up and down and said, "Knock on the door."

Dong dong dong~!

The association members went forward and knocked on the door, and the sound spread.

It continued for several times.

Still didn't get any response.

"Stop knocking, the key is revealed." Wu Heng said directly.

The thieves in the team stepped forward, took out tools and started prying the door lock.

In a few moments, they were all opened, revealing a relatively clean hall.

Wu Heng and others walked in, raising their brows slightly.

This kind of environment looks like someone has cleaned it, and it doesn't seem like it has been uninhabited all the time.

"Downstairs." Wu Heng led a few people downstairs.

Walk along the stone steps towards the basement.

Just when I was halfway there, I saw a figure standing at the bottom of the corridor. Under the illumination of the light stone, he looked a little eerie and scary.

Looking closely, I saw a man in a neat suit standing there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is not convenient to receive guests now."

Wu Heng glanced at the other person, took out the receipt and handed it to him, "Excuse me, I came to get something, and I'll leave after I get it."

The man took the ticket and looked down at it, "Wait here."

The man in the suit left and came back with a gift box in his hand.

"Please go back!"

He immediately ordered them to leave, and everyone left without staying.

Get out of the tavern.

The door of the tavern that had been pried open was then closed again.

I heard a rattling sound, as if two more locks were put on.

……

Outside the pub.

"Open it and take a look!" said Tapani.

Wu Heng opened it directly, and a letter appeared in the wooden box.

Everyone's heart moved.

A letter is not a property or valuable item, but it means that a message has been left behind.

The letter was opened and the contents inside were viewed.

Everyone's brows furrowed as well.

The content of the letter was indeed related to the incident, and it also told the complete story and the murderer.

Mentioned in it.

The leader of the Shuanglong Gang was a pirate group that attacked the caravan half a year ago. The two of them have been investigating this case for some time.

But just as they achieved results, they were ambushed by the enemy and the deacon died on the spot.

What followed was chaos in the city. The local association was blocked and gangs from all sides were recruited into the army to investigate and hunt him down.

He left this letter and left the area to seek support.

After reading the contents of the letter, everyone frowned.

He actually died at the hands of a local gang.

They investigated for so long.

We are ready to confront our city’s army head-on, so what is this?

The investigator at the side began to copy it down word for word.

"Elder!" Wu Heng shouted.

Tapani came back to his senses and said, "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to get someone."

……

Wow~!

The sound of bones rubbing against each other echoed throughout the street.

All the association members, plus more than a hundred skeleton soldiers, marched towards the City Lord's Mansion in a mighty manner.

From a distance, I saw the army approaching.

The direction of the City Lord's Mansion also became chaotic, with a large number of soldiers climbing up the wall with swords, bows and crossbows ready.

"Who are you? No one is allowed to approach the City Lord's Mansion." The guard shouted angrily.

The association also shouted: "The association will catch the wanted criminals, those who try to stop us will be killed, and those who try to escape will be put on wanted warrants."

The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and tension was in the air.

At this time, a voice came from the City Lord's Mansion, "Put down the crossbows and don't be impulsive."

The city lord, Dashiel, appeared on the city wall, looked down with some surprise, and shouted, "Masters of the Association, what happened?"

Tapani walked out with his hand on the hilt of his sword, standing straight, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Dashiel, we have found the murderer, and we hope you can cooperate."

"Have you found out? I will naturally cooperate." Dashiel said immediately.

"Open the gate and I will tell you in detail."

Dashiel looked hesitant, stared at Tapani, and said, "Okay, I'll go down. Please control your men."

The door to the City Lord's Mansion opened, and Dashiel walked in directly. "I wonder who it is?"

"You may have heard of the leader of the Shuanglong Gang. He is currently serving as the captain of your army." Tapani said.

Dashiel's eyes widened instantly, "This is impossible!"

Tapani sneered, "Is it possible? Wouldn't it be clear if we call him out and confront him?"

“I need to ask first,” Dashiel said.

"Call it out and we'll ask together."

……

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

As they were talking, a group of soldiers came running quickly from a distance.

The association team was surrounded, and the number and momentum were instantly reversed, putting the association members at a disadvantage.

"Lord Dashiel is waiting for reinforcements?" Tapani touched the hilt of the sword with cold eyes.

"How could that be possible?" Dashiel immediately called out to the leader of the team in the distance and asked, "Are there any people from the Shuanglong Gang in the army?"

Double Dragon Gang?

The leader of the team pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes."

"Where are the people? Bring them here by their leader."

"My Lord City Lord, the leader of the rebels has been dead since the last battle with them. It has been more than a week." The commander replied.

The faces of everyone in the association changed again.

The person is gone again?

The city lord glanced over here and continued to ask: "The leader is dead, are there any of his men still alive?"

"should have."

"Go check, and bring all those who are alive here."
