Chapter 48 Hate Crimes Act
Eden stood up from his chair and took out a document wrapped in parchment from the bookshelf.

"These are three vicious cases that happened near Gate City recently. The time interval between them is within one month based on Gate City."

He spoke calmly and handed the document to Jing Huang.

"Although the crimes took place not within the territory of Gate City, there happened to be entrances and exits of Gate City nearby. The victims also had accidents during their travels. Every incident had witnesses—or should we say bystanders, so the murderer The race is also very clear. You have also watched the performance of the Nightingale Troupe just now, can you notice the commonality in it?"

Jing Juan put the parchment document on his lap and did not rush to open it.

He bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said, "The cat people were shot, the humans were bitten to death, and the dwarves were knifed... Do you mean that these are racial hatred murders?"

"There is only this possibility. Whether it is a vendetta based on legends or racial commonality, the specific results are still under investigation."

"All these things happened outside the gate city, right? A shy guy like you, do you care about how many people die? When did you like sweeping the snow so much?"

Hearing his question, Eden showed a shallow and gentle smile again.That demeanor matched his handsome appearance, except for the blue eyes that were still as calm as glaciers.

"You seem to have some misunderstandings about me." Eden said slowly, "Gate City is a neutral port under my control. Whether it is knowledge or law, they are all equal passengers to me. Hate crimes based on , history, such rooted attributes will never be tolerated. Those who shake this law must pay the price.”

Jing Huang raised her feet disapprovingly: "Does that include overseas?"

"Although the implementation is outside the country, the targets are all guests who go out from the gate city. I'm afraid they intend to provoke me."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence? After all, the murderer is different every time. One side killed the other once, and the other side killed this once as revenge. Like this kind of repeated revenge murder, what can you do? ? Arrest all the people who have done this kind of thing? No one dares to resist you in the gate city, but you can say nothing when you go outside. You will not run out to seek death by yourself, right? "

Facing Jing Huang's almost sharp words, Eden smiled even more gently.

"So, this is where you will be used."

Jing Huang's trembling feet suddenly stopped moving.

"...what the hell do you want?"

"Deliberately acting outside the scope of my domain, don't you think that I will sit idly by? Unfortunately, I have no habit of passively waiting. So it is up to you to solve them, whether these incidents are intrinsically connected or not, violating Whoever bears the law must die."

As if talking about the weather, he smiled and nodded elegantly and calmly to Jing Huang.

"This is the reward I'm asking for, Xuan Hong. I need to know who is instigating these things. If you find out that there is a mastermind behind it, you must bring the other party to me, and I will be responsible for the trial and execution. If it is true There is no need for an independent incident, just kill all the perpetrators. Don't let my name appear, just treat it as an ordinary dispute between bandits."

Jing Huang stared at him coldly.

"...You really don't mind the smell of blood on your hands."

"What? Do you want to show mercy to the murderer? The so-called murder pays life, even in your hometown where you pursue the perfection of saints, it shouldn't stop the victim from recovering his grievances, right?"

"Do you really care about the victims?"

"The debate about moral absolutism is enough. I do treat reason and law equally, but dangerous people like Sang Lian should be another matter."

The topic ended here, and Eden put the Golden Nightingale back into his clothes, and walked towards the door.He put his hand on the doorknob, then looked sideways at Jing Huang and said, "All the doors and keys you need are in that file bag, and someone will tell you the address of the Dragon's Nest Auction later. A deposit for you. As for the door to the secret realm leading to Outland, just exchange the murderer’s body with me.”

He opened the door and left without looking back.

Jing Huang clutched the parchment bag, speechless for a long time.Looking at his expression, Luo Binhan felt that he was obviously very unhappy, but he didn't seem to be angry.That's more like a hesitation.

Allerica suddenly put her hand on his shoulder.

"Captain," she said, "we have other ways too."

Jing Huang responded, but did not make a statement in the end.He stood up and looked around the room, then patted his pants leg.

"Let's go to the place where the accident happened first. Anyway, I don't know anything now, so don't rush to draw conclusions."

After opening the door, the outside is not a corridor or stairs, but darkness.When they penetrated into it, Luo Binhan's eyes flickered, and then his vision suddenly brightened.

He was walking down the last step of the stairs, and in front of him was a pavement of yellow bricks shining with gold.When he looked back on the road, he found an old theater standing at the end of the stairs.The crimson curtain at the entrance is still slightly swaying, as if someone is lingering behind it.

Jing Huang directly tore open the parchment bag on the street, took out three sealant envelopes with rose patterns printed on them, and took out several sheets of bronzing paper from the envelopes.Those papers look particularly delicate under the light, and they have a rich and fragrant floral fragrance.

Luo Binhan was fascinated by this unique and redundant information carrier.He was about to step forward to read the content on the letter, but Jing Huang immediately pushed him away.

"Don't touch these things." Jing Huang said, "It's best not to look at them."

Luo Binhan couldn't help but have some opinions.He had realized that what was described on the paper was related to the three murders.That might be a bit bloody and cruel, but it wouldn't be unbearable for a grown man like him.

"Isn't it just a murder case? Is it that scary?"

"I didn't say those cases were horrible."

Jing Huang raised the letter paper, and the flames turned all the paper into green smoke.It wasn't until the last piece of paper was gone that he glanced at Luo Binhan with satisfaction: "That guy invited us into his lair just now, but he didn't even serve a glass of water. Do you know why?"

"Because he hates you?"

"Because I hate him." Jing Huang said, "He knows that I will never touch any of the drinking water he provided, so I will save my effort in vain. You must never be alone with this person, don't talk to him, it is best Don't even meet your eyes. The most important thing is that everything he touches is highly poisonous, so don't touch it."

Luo Binhan was speechless for a moment.He didn't know whether Jing Huang's words were true or exaggerated.

"Doesn't that golden retriever look quite gentle? Could it be that a poisonous scorpion has become a spirit?"

"He used to be an arcane mage—that's what I heard, maybe it was a rumor deliberately created by that guy. In order to become the master of this city, he must have no hometown to speak of."

"Hometown? What do you mean?"

"It means he's psychopathic."

Jing Huang said categorically: "Ya is a coward, with a smirk on his face, and a beast in his clothes. The more you laugh, the worse things will be. Laughing at you is cursing you to death. Old cunts are nothing, and sooner or later they will be struck by lightning!"

He gritted his teeth and walked towards the street entrance, leaving Luo Binhan standing dumbfounded.

"Does he have any grudge against that golden retriever?" he asked Momolo.

Momolo shook his head, and said with some doubts: "That gentleman seems to be the master of the gate city... Mr. Xuanhong didn't let us see him when we came here earlier, and I'm not very familiar with Mr. He's a very low-key and intelligent guy."

Luo Binhan didn't know how to evaluate it.Eden didn't give him a very good impression, but in some extremely short moments, the other party unexpectedly reminded him of Zhou Yu inexplicably.

"It's evil." He muttered to himself and patted his cheek hard.That feeling quickly disappeared.

They quickly overtook Jing Juan and Yale Liga.

"Where are we going next?" Luo Binhan asked.

"First go find the child whose mother was killed." Jing Huang said, "If it's a werewolf, it's easier to find than the other two."

Luo Binhan suddenly felt bad again.

"...How are you going to mention this to the kid?"

"Let's talk about it. Will I still eat him?"

Luo Binhan peeked at Jing Huang's expression.

He felt that was a far cry from the attitude of "speaking well".

 Do you have any extra recommendation tickets, my friends (°°)
