Had no hot water been drinking for ten years? Annick was shocked.

"Who was the one who was honored to drink the Baron's hot water ten years ago?"

Faced with his son's nonsensical question, Old John recalled and said, "Grandt suffered a serious illness ten years ago. When he invited the doctor, he took the medicine to use hot water to mix the decoction. Then the doctor was honored to get a small cup of warm water. He also showed off for a long time."

OK, it's just a warm cup, Annick has seen the stinginess of this baron.

"Where to go to the next house?"

"The sheriff and the mayor, they are all together."

The town center is just a street with horizontal and vertical lines. In addition to a tavern, a hotel and several grocery stores, a two-story wooden building at the intersection is the most eye-catching.

"The mayor is on the second floor, and there are two empty rooms serving as offices. The first floor is the sheriff's office and several prisons. You give the invitation to the sheriff Vernon, hoping that he did not die on his post. I will go to the second floor and send an invitation to the mayor."

"Okay, let the police leave it to me."

Annick sorted out his uniform and knocked on the door with the door sign of the Heishui Town Security Office.

"Dongdong."

"Mr. Vernon, are you here?"

A irritable male voice came out in the room.

"I've said that if you lose a chicken, don't bother me, I know, I'm very busy."

Annik continued patiently, "Mr. Vernon, I'm not here to report the case, please let me in."

"Huh? Then you are from the head? Wait. You can come in in a minute."

Then the sound of rummaging through the cabinet came from inside. Annick pinched the watch, pushed open the door and walked in one minute later.

In front of him was an elderly man wearing a white wide-brimmed hat, a yellow coat and a brown striped vest. He had three brass V-shaped epaulettes on his shoulders, and a brass-colored hexagram gold emblem hanging on his right chest. He was hanging a small blackboard to himself.

"Here, compare with the blackboard, pay the fine and sign it to be considered innocent."

Vernon didn't even look at himself, but just kept writing with chalk.

For common crimes, fines and bounties are 70% of the fines.

Kidnapping of law enforcement officers—30   Gold pounds

Injure anyone in town-40    Gold Pound

Annick looked at the blackboard and couldn't help but complain: "So cheating on cards is a more serious crime than arson and kidnapping?"

Vernon then turned around and explained to Annick: "Well, of course cheating on cards is a felony. Hey, you pretend to be a law enforcement officer, but you have to calculate it based on the crime of kidnapping the law enforcement officer. I have to give me thirty gold pounds."

Annick couldn't help but point to his nose and said, "I, impersonate? Give me, my ID."

Vernon looked at the small notebook that Annick took out, looked carefully, and then he still suspected, "Suston? Is the second son of Old John's family? This prank has been done a bit. Are you really a police inspector?"

Annick didn't say anything nonsense and directly waved a punch.

"call."

The fist stopped one inch away from Vernon's nose, and the fist wind blew his wide-brimmed hat away. The sweat from Vernon's head flowed down like rain. As soon as he said, a fist flew over like a bullet, and he didn't even have time to blink.

Vernon quickly changed his face, and squeezed out a smile as his face was full of pleats and said, "It's really the Superintendent, I didn't expect that when Old John brought you this game, I hugged you and pissed me up when he was teasing you. Now I'm two levels higher than me, and the times have changed."

Why did I get to know when I was a child again? I seemed to be snatched to be hugged like a gold nugget?

Annick hurriedly explained: "I just woke up by luck, just like the old man in my family. He is the captain when he wakes up. By the way, Mr. Vernon, this is the invitation for our elder brother's wedding. Please accept it."

Vernon took the invitation and didn't look at it. Then he pointed to the blackboard and explained: "Annik, you know, our town has been in peace, and I am just a transferor here. Some townsmen arrested people after committing a small matter, which was not good for everyone, so they used fines instead of punishment."

Annick nodded quickly and said, "It's up to the main body of autonomy, I understand."

"That's fine, have a cup of tea, did you come alone?"

"My father was there and sent me an invitation to the mayor. I asked me to come to you. They are all considered as a fellow traveler, so I can communicate with you."

It is naturally supplemented by yourself after communication, so as not to be embarrassed by the old sheriff. Although Vernon looked energetic, it was hard to say whether an old man over fifty years old could have combat effectiveness. It is hard to say whether he could beat a goose without shooting.

"It's the guidance work. How could you, the police inspector, communicate with me as the sheriff? By the way, there are several major cases in Eggsburg."

Vernon asked while making tea.

"There are a few cases, by the way, Mr. Vernon, Blackwater Town has been peaceful recently."

"It's peaceful, it's all trivial matters. Whose family lost a chicken? Whose family's sheep was bitten to death by a coyote, and blood was flowing all over the ground."

Coyote Annick only remembered the gunshots last night and asked hurriedly.

"You have hired extraordinary people to deal with coyotes?"

Vernon shook his head and said, "No, I'm hired an old hunter who has just arrived recently. It's not easy to bring two boys. Several big families in the town discussed with the mayor and asked him to hunt coyotes. You don't know, this old hunter buried himself in a pit before dark, covered himself with thatch, and waited patiently until midnight. The green eyes of the coyotes became excellent targets."

Old Hunter, that makes sense. This kind of person is probably retired from the army. Perhaps it is not surprising that he is a professional sniper.

"I really want to meet this person. My marksmanship is extremely bad. This large revolver is not as good as a hammer for me."

After Annick said that, he took out his .5-caliber large revolver and placed it on the table.

Vernon swallowed his saliva and said with a hint of envy:

"This thing can only be used by you extraordinary people, otherwise the recoil will be dead."

"By the way, the old hunter is there. My father doesn't seem to know his background. Maybe he's forgotten him. I have to add an invitation."

Vernon took out a map of Blackwater Town, pointed to a hill to the east and said, "Their family is here. It turned out to be a cottage where the forest rangers lived in the town, and then gave it to them."
