Chapter 100 Are you talking to me about the law?
As the eldest son of the Winster family, August naturally knew some top-secret information.
Now that the struggle for imperial power in the Omar Empire has basically ended, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been completely exiled away from the core circle.
The future emperor of Omar, the current eldest prince Quentin, has recently extended an olive branch to their City of Glory and even signed an alliance contract.
Even though August is only the eldest son of a big family now, he will be the prince of the "Glorious Principality" in a short time, and his status will be no worse than that of the exiled princess.
Originally, the five major families had secretly communicated with each other and would never allow Ymir to gain a foothold here.
But the patriarch of the Winster family, Father August, thought of a better way of speculation.
That is...marriage!
It is true that a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess was exiled, she is definitely not comparable to an ordinary lord.
She brought with her almost all the "reformist" ministers from the Omar Empire, a background that should not be underestimated.
There is also the mechanic corps of [Storm General] Baron in the wasteland, the mentors and poor students brought out from the Omar Royal Academy... these are all the cornerstones of building the territory.
What they lack now is a large mechanical city that can be located west of the "Alcolon Mountains".
Once the city is built, a new territory with a complete system can be established in an instant, and the strength of the territory will definitely be no less than any great lord in the two empires!
There will be no hidden danger if this piece of fat is eliminated.
But if they can swallow it, it will definitely be a great help to their Winster family.
Even the future "Glorious Kingdom" will be able to develop rapidly with this relationship with the Omar royal family, and it is not certain that it will become the third empire.
As for Omar?
Haha, the "Glorious City" has never succumbed to the military force of the two empires, nor is it anyone's vassal territory.
It was like this before and it will be like this in the future.
After the establishment of the country, they and Omar had a relationship of equal allies.
Even if Quentin became emperor, he would never be able to tell them what to do.
Young Master August naturally regarded Princess Ymir, known as the "Empire's Twin Beauties", as a piece of fat meat at his fingertips. In his opinion, the only chance for the Princess to build a city now was to beg for mercy from the five major families.
Otherwise, as long as they block the "Whispering Pass" and cut off Omar's connection with this side, no one will be able to build a city!
If she doesn't agree now, she will have to agree sooner or later after suffering losses in the wilderness.
Because the current situation is very clear, with Quentin in power, Ymir will definitely not be able to return to Omar. West of the "Alcoron Mountains", seeking help from the Winster family is the only option.
…
Ymir suddenly left in the middle of the negotiations.
This made August very confused.
Not long after, after listening to the reports from his subordinates, he realized that there was an assassination in the city and a guy used an "Ice Element Origin Law Crystal".
And it just so happens that Ymir is practicing this extraordinary law called [Frost Sword Skill].
The "Origin Law Crystal" is a crystal condensed by high-level extraordinary beings who consume the power of the origin. Although it is powerful, it takes several months of cultivation to condense the crystal. Unless it is a very close person, very few people will make this kind of thing.
Especially for a princess of the empire, she would not easily give such things to her subordinates.
Thinking of this, he became very curious about the identity of the man who used the law crystal.
…
The assassination took place in the Fifth District, so the perpetrators were arrested and taken to the Fifth District Security Station.
Soon, August arrived at the police station's interrogation office easily.
He was very curious about Ryan's identity, so he asked the person in charge of the interrogation directly.
"Who is that guy in there?"
"Master, our true identity has not been confirmed yet. However, we checked the bounty notice and found that he has been offered a bounty of 100 million on the black market of the Omar Empire."
"A reward of 100 million? Why?"
"We have no right to ask about this, so... it's not clear yet."
“…”
August didn't get the information he wanted.
But he didn't expect that there was a high-bounty criminal inside.
He took a look at the file and found only one first-level extraordinary person.
He was also very confused . If that was the case, how could this guy be qualified to have such a high bounty offered to him?
The young master's intuition told him that something was wrong.
He asked again: "You said that the one who wanted to kill him was the Blood Marquis of Sid, Qi Ming Dracula?"
Interrogator: "Yes, there was also a soul sorcerer from the Theed royal family and an assassin. According to eyewitness testimony, the assassin who was killed on the street should be Quinn, the leader of the Weasel Thieves wanted by Omar. The murderer was Bazel, the White Wolf. No one knows why they suddenly started fighting on the street..."
"Haven't you figured out why they were fighting?"
Hearing this, August's curiosity was completely aroused.
A member of the royal family of Theed would travel thousands of miles to kill an Omar wanted criminal with a bounty of 100 million, and in the middle of the process a "Top Ten Legends" [White Wolf] Bazel would show up to disrupt the situation. How could this sound confusing?
However, even with a little imagination, one can guess that the purpose of the ambush is definitely not simple.
After thinking about it, August asked about the thing he was most concerned about, "What about Ymir Spurgen?"
Interrogator: "According to the conclusion of our preliminary interrogation, these are two unrelated conflicts. The commotion on the street must have attracted the people of the Omar royal family, and because of the previous incident in 'Storm Lake', the subordinates of the eldest princess wanted to kill Qi Ming Dracula, who was a vampire, so another conflict was caused..."
August also thought this statement was the most reasonable.
After all, he had been accompanying the eldest princess in the negotiations before.
"Have you found out what the relationship is between the person who released the ice crystal and Princess Omar?"
"No. According to the rules, he was acting in self-defense. We in the Public Security Department have no right to..."
"Interrogate him immediately and find out the whole story."
"But, Master, the law states that we have no right..."
"No buts. What I say now is the rule! I suspect that man is a spy trying to undermine the stability of our Glory City. Search him first to see if he has any dangerous items. If he refuses to cooperate, let the [Torture Master] interrogate him by force!"
“…”
…
It is said that the law enforcement team of the "Glorious City" is impartial and selfless. No one can interfere with the interrogation of the Public Security Department. Everything is done according to the law. Just like the contribution system, it is the basis of the "fairness" of this city.
But... that was in the past.
Ever since his teacher was kidnapped, Ryan no longer believed in any illusions about this so-called Public Security Department.
Where there is a privileged class, the law will be trampled upon.
However, he knew that even if Ymir didn't come, Bazel would definitely find a way to get him out.
I originally wanted to pretend to be the grandson for a while, but I never expected that trouble would come to me.
At first the questions were all normal, but when the chief interrogator came back from a trip, the questions became sharp and distorted.
There were a hundred people on the street who could have witnessed that Ryan was the one being "assassinated", so all his actions were self-defense and did not violate any laws.
The gentle questioning attitude before was the normal rhythm.
He should never have been subjected to any interrogation against the prisoners.
But now, as soon as this guy comes in, he wants to take off all his clothes and check the storage ring?
…
"What, you want to search my storage ring?"
Although the important things were all placed in the folding space, Ryan had no intention of giving these guys a chance to make trouble.
He vaguely guessed that someone might be behind this.
Either from the five major families, or from Sid's blood clan...
After an injection of healing potion, the injury on the neck has basically healed.
He asked directly: "Mr. Interrogator, as a victim, why should I be searched? Isn't this the treatment only for criminals?"
The interrogator sneered: "Haha, you almost destroyed half of the street just now! Our Public Security Department has the right to eliminate any hidden dangers that we think may affect the safety of the city..."
Hearing this, Ryan narrowed his eyes, stared at him, and questioned: "Really? The laws of the City of Glory clearly stipulate that you have this right?"
“Haha, you’re talking to me about law?”
The interrogator's eyes showed contempt, and he snorted coldly: "Don't you know that our Public Security Department represents the highest judgment office of the City of Glory? Do you think I have this right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the interrogation room became somewhat tense.
After hearing this, Ryan completely understood that these guys wanted to play tricks under the light and were probably planning to use the "dark prison" method.
There is no going back on this step.
If we retreat, these guys will become even more aggressive. They might even resort to "naked search" and "mental torture"...
"No, you are really not qualified."
After a moment's silence, Ryan shook his head, a hint of sarcasm appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Then, he stared at the three interrogators opposite him with a straight gaze, and said in a very serious tone: "According to Article 31 of the Regulations on Public Security Management of the City of Glory, if a private fight occurs in the city, the victim has the right not to have his belongings checked. If he is treated unfairly, he can report it to the City Lord's Mansion, and the relevant law enforcement officers will be punished by burning with fire..."
Tsk tsk…
I guess the Chief Justice doesn’t remember the city’s laws and regulations as clearly as he does. Are you trying to play this on me?
Sure enough, the three interrogators frowned after hearing this.
Especially the guy who started the interrogation, his heart trembled violently when he heard the words "torture by burning with fire".
It’s not like there haven’t been colleagues who have done this before. It’s fun to get paid to do things for people, but when it comes to execution, they don’t die peacefully…
Every word and sentence is the original text of the charter, and it is absolutely not nonsense, leaving no room for quibbling.
The interrogator was also confused for a moment. Why was this guy more familiar with the law than him?
…
The law is very clear, and forced searches are definitely not allowed.
The interrogator looked a little unnatural, and tried to explain himself, "Then please tell me why you were offered a bounty by the Omar Black Market? The reason we searched you is because we suspected that you posed a huge security risk to the city..."
This is the reason Master August called for the interrogation just now, and it can be used just fine.
If you are held accountable later, you will have an excuse.
But he didn't expect that before he finished asking, Ryan Wan didn't give him any face at all and said directly: "According to Article 15 of the Regulations on Public Security Management of the City of Glory, the victim enjoys the normal rights of temporary residents and does not need to answer any personal questions unrelated to the case. If you are tortured, you can report it to the City Lord's Mansion, and the relevant personnel will be punished by having their tongues pulled out ..."
After a pause, he asked again with a straight face, "The bounty on wanted persons in the City of Glory is at least 80,000 if not 100,000... I think the reason why I have a bounty on my head seems to have nothing to do with the incident you are investigating today, right?"
"you……"
The interrogator's face turned grim.
He has confirmed that the guy in front of him is definitely a person with a law-related major, and is most likely a colleague!
Otherwise, who the hell would bother outsiders to memorize those boring legal clauses?
And then, he wanted to ask something else, but Ryan's words shut him up.
"According to Article 72 of the Regulations on Bribery of Public Officials, public officials who accept bribes shall be sentenced to a term of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall be dismissed from public office..."
"According to Article 99 of the Glory City Public Security Management Ordinance, if a 'law enforcer' knowingly breaks the law, he shall be hanged, and his family members shall be deprived of their permanent residency rights..."
“…”
Ryan calmly recited all the relevant laws, instantly and completely intimidating the three guys opposite.
This is the wisdom of Master Kavo when he established the city and set the laws.
As the most impartial law enforcement agency in the city, the "law enforcers" have the right to execute first and report later.
But power is a double-edged sword. Power without restraint will turn into a man-eating monster.
Therefore, the "Glorious City Public Security Management Regulations" is a reliance for law enforcers, and it is also a gate knife to restrict law enforcers from abusing their power!
The three interrogators on the opposite side had turned pale and were sweating profusely.
I am not afraid of how powerful the other party’s identity is, but I am afraid that the other party is a “colleague” within the system.
The interrogation relies on the law.
Now the guy on the other side knows the city’s laws better than them, the professionals. How can they play this game?
They really dare to torture and extract confessions, they will definitely be the ones to die afterwards!
Although the five major families are in charge of the city now, as long as Master Kavo is still alive, no one dares to completely break this window paper and trample on the bottom line of the law!
…
"You... who are you?!"
A series of questions were answered in an extremely professional manner, and the interrogator's face changed.
They even speculated that maybe someone from the higher-ups was "going incognito" to test them?
Finished,
It's all over now...
They were already feeling guilty, and now the way they looked at Ryan was different.
"You don't need to worry about who I am, how I got here, or whether I'm guilty or not. You should all know... So, please organize your words before you ask me."
This statement has already reversed the situation.
Ryan's calm and composed (pretentious) attitude has a few words written all over his face: There's someone behind me!
The hint is obvious, Ymir, Bazel, and I are all related...
I haven't committed any crime. If you want to play dirty tricks on me, can you kill me to silence me?
You can’t kill me, haha… just wait for the patrol team to come and dismiss you!
…
The interrogators on the opposite side were so frightened that their lips and teeth were trembling.
Being so familiar with legal regulations and interrogation procedures... they are 100% sure that the person on the other side is definitely a "colleague" within the system.
Moreover, judging from the tone of his voice, he might be a member of the "patrol team"!
"The laws made by Master Kavo are for you to blaspheme like this?"
"Are you worthy of the pure robes that symbolize fairness and justice?"
"Do you see the scales and switches above your head?"
“…”
Ryan also got excited and wanted to talk nonsense and pretend to be cool in order to scare this guy who was using chicken feathers as a token of authority.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the interrogation room.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Ymir Spurgeon of Omar wants to visit the prison for bail."
