"This isn't even manslaughter...he jumped off the building himself!"
"Why can't he think about it so hard? It's true!"
Inevitably, I felt very panicked and quite uneasy.
He chose to defend himself internally and at the same time relieved the pressure by complaining.
As a traveler in a peaceful era, even though Gray Lint usually thought he was brave enough, he was really scared at this moment.
————————————————
After a while, Gray Linte was awakened by the pain in his leg.
Looking down, I saw that the small opening had stopped bleeding, and the dried blood had condensed into a scab.
On the slightly deformed corpse downstairs, bits of almost transparent light emitted, attracting each other and forming a ball.
He quickly calmed down and thought about what to do.
"We cannot let the police discover extraordinary characteristics, even if they most likely don't recognize them."
"Define him as a common liar to avoid attracting the attention of the Nighthawks."
"Do not call the police for more than half an hour. Make sure that even if the police discover a problem, it will take more than an hour to tell the night watcher directly! It will exceed the optimal channeling time."
Gray Lint pondered secretly, sorting out possible loopholes one by one.
Then, he quietly went downstairs and picked up the ball of extraordinary properties. He also found the exquisite dagger from the corpse - his spiritual intuition told him that this was a magical item.
Apart from these two items, there is nothing extraordinary about "Sylvie".
However, the handling of these two items really made Gray Lint quite embarrassed.
The dagger was actually not bad, so Glerint changed hands and threw it into the drainage hole in the south corner of the villa.
He can take it back at any time when he is free!
However, he didn't dare to leave the Extraordinary properties randomly. It would be terrible if they were accidentally eaten by some animals.
Ordinary animals have a high probability of being unable to directly withstand the power of the Sequence Eight extraordinary characteristics, and will go crazy if they eat it. This is quite dangerous!
But he couldn't take it with him, just in case this "Sylvie" had a criminal record and attracted the Nighthawks.
Gray Lint, who carries extraordinary characteristics, will be completely exposed to the eyes of official extraordinary people.
Even if they don't do anything extreme to a noble, they will at least be included in the monitoring list!
After pondering for a while, the time is almost half an hour!
Gray Linte didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He went to the basement and took a look around. When he saw a heavy and thick wooden box, his eyes lit up.
The decision is yours! At least a mouse or cat cannot lift the lid, and larger animals cannot enter the room at all.
Quickly returning upstairs, Gray Linte pretended to wake up from his coma.
Let out a shout - "Someone is coming, call the police."
————————————————
"Mr. Mariano, are you sure your testimony is completely true and reliable?"
"I must remind you that if there are any serious consequences because of your untrue testimony, you will be severely punished according to the law."
Angela is an experienced senior inspector at Silveras Field. Her eyebrows are slightly white, her cheeks are bony, and her nasolabial folds are very obvious. She looks to be in her fifties.
Half an hour ago, his men reported that a murder had occurred at the home of the newly promoted Viscount Gralint Mariano, and the deceased was suspected to be the perpetrator of many thefts, the fast thief-Quinn.
"You mean, this experienced thief who has never failed came to your house disguised as the inventor Sylvie and tried to defraud him? After you saw through it, he accidentally 'jumped' to his death while running away in a hurry?"
His tone seemed to be that he saw a rat biting a dog today.
If Quinn's direct cause of death was not indeed a fall, Angela might have directly announced the arrest of Gray Lint.
…
It is difficult to explain to ordinary people the motivations of extraordinary people for committing crimes. Gray Lint decided to keep silent and not say more. As a "lawyer", he fully recognized the saying "The more you talk, the more you will make mistakes".
Your famous saying".
"I know this is unconvincing, but I think I fully explained everything I know. I swear in the name of the goddess, there is not a single lie in what I said."
"If you continue to unreasonably induce me to speak and take responsibility, I will file a lawsuit in the name of the nobles."
Yes, what surprised Graylingt the most about the whole thing was that Quinn indeed died from a fall, and the traces left by his extraordinary ability "Psychic Puncture" were completely covered by the traces of the fall!
As for the mark left by the punch on the chest, Gray Lint admitted it frankly because it was just the strength of a normal adult man and did not involve extraordinary beings. It had nothing to do with the cause of Quinn's death.
The forensic doctor has pointed out based on various details that Quinn jumped from the building on his own initiative rather than being pushed downstairs.
The only doubt is that it was more than half an hour after Quinn's death that Graylingt called the servant to call the police.
"How do you explain this? Mr. Mariano."
"I didn't know anything about it. I fainted after he jumped out of the window. When I woke up, I immediately called the police."
For this part, Graylint could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, not knowing anything about it.
There is a certain risk of attracting night watchers to inquire in their dreams, but Gray Lint is not particularly worried about this.
The way to fight against it is to meditate, and then enter the consciousness into those "light threads" in dreams. This can effectively fight against various medium and low-sequence living people channeling, dreaming and even mind-reading.
However, the disadvantage is that it cannot last too long, and the outside body is completely unprotected at this time, so it can only be used to deal with official extraordinary beings in a prepared manner.
And if Quinn is not delayed for half an hour, once Quinn is involved in some extraordinary case and leads the official extraordinary person to directly channel his "spirit", then Gray Lint will have no room for mediation at all and can only place his hope in the official extraordinary person.
the mercy of the benefactor.
The intuition of many years of investigating the case told Angela that even if all the evidence points to Quinn jumping off the building on his own initiative, the truth of the case must still be related to Mr. Mariano.
However, he did not intend to delve into it, due to various considerations.
First, Mr. Mariano is a nobleman, and the crime took place at the other party’s home. The other party to the conflict is a habitual thief. Normally, it is not Graylingt’s initiative to send out malicious intentions, and ordinary criminals would not choose to do so.
Act in your own home.
Second, and most importantly, the direct cause of Quinn's death has no obvious relationship with Gray Lint. This is the core factor that Angela thinks there is no need to delve into.
"Okay, Mr. Mariano, we have no problem."
"Congratulations, we have initially determined that you are not guilty of any crime. The details need to be further verified."
"But you are a direct witness to the case, and we need you to go to the police station and make a record."
"In addition, before we close the case, if you do not want your freedom to be restricted, you need to pay a ten-pound bail. If it is finally confirmed that you have no problem, you can get this bail back."
The person responsible for informing Gray Lint was another young inspector, whose name he did not know.
————————————————
In the police station, Gray Lint was very cooperative with the police's questions, which made the young record inspector breathe a sigh of relief.
Even if Gray Lint refused to cooperate, without evidence, it would actually be difficult for them to deal with a noble.
If they are civilians, they will not hesitate to use methods such as intimidation and torture.
Don't think of any local bureau as too benevolent. Its essence is a violent law enforcement agency!
"Mr. Mariano, one last question, for the sake of your reputation, we think we can publicly claim that the police shot this criminal to death outside your villa. What do you think?" He asked Glerint tentatively.
.
Gray Lint was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and raised the corners of his mouth.
