Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 112: The Detective Solve the Case
Inspector Meteorite gave the order, and a group of imperial spies rushed over. The five people were pinned to the ground without reacting, why... why did they want to kill us.
"You can't do this! We demand a fair trial, we demand to see Mr. Lawson... woo woo..."
The imperial agent found rags from somewhere and stuffed them into the mouths of the five men, then dragged them aside like pigs.
The five men struggled and wailed desperately, but were beaten and kicked in return.
Councilman Virgil couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and he said to Luke: "No matter what crime they have committed, they should be handed over to the city court along with the evidence you have collected. They have the right to hire a lawyer to defend themselves, and they have the right to demand a fair trial..."
Before Senator Virgil could finish his speech, the imperial spies had already completed the execution.
The long knife pierced through their backs cleanly and neatly, and the five men fell to the ground without a sound.
As the night wind blew, everyone felt a biting cold.
Killed...
Really killed!
The people in the mining area are all familiar with each other. Lawson Fire Crystal Mine is a well-known large mine. These five people are arrogant and domineering on weekdays. Everyone knows them. I didn't expect that they would be killed just like that, just like killing five chickens.
The venue with tens of thousands of people was completely silent, and everyone looked at the Meteorite Inspector with fear on their faces.
The imperial spy who had completed the execution reported to Luke. Luke waved his hand and asked them to stand aside. Then he said to Virgil: "Mr. Congressman, we are all senior civil servants of the Empire. Don't tell me lies that you don't believe.
According to my investigation, the use of slave labor in the northern mining area of Raging Waves City is very serious, and it is used blatantly. I have found so much evidence in such a short time since I came to Angry Waves City. Don't tell me that the security department of Angry Waves City is incompetent and doesn't know about the crimes that happened here?"
Virgil immediately said: "Your evidence is all one-sided statements from your Secret Service. Five imperial citizens were killed by you without making any defense. You are abusing the power given to you by His Majesty.
I advise you to stop as soon as possible and leave this place to me. The city security department will investigate what happened here!"
"Evidence?" Luke chuckled. "The evidence is right in front of you... you just can't see it!"
Luke ignored Virgil and spoke into the microphone: "Imperial spies from the Cape District Secret Service!"
All the spies in the field shouted, "Inspector, please give us a lecture!"
"From now on... anyone who dares to escape will be killed on the spot!"
"Yes, Inspector!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"
"Yes, Inspector!"
"Very good, very good! Keep an eye on them for me!"
"Yes, Inspector!"
The Marines took over the surrounding guards, and more Imperial spies came in. The Mechanic and Naga patrolled among the squatting people, and the oppressive feeling of power made the people in the mining area dare not move.
Senator Virgil, who wanted to seize the initiative from the Secret Service, finally noticed these Nagas.
Sea people?
When did the sea people appear in the Secret Affairs Bureau of Cape District?
Could it be that...
It turned out that Ibul had stolen the gold.
Luke glanced at Senator Virgil and saw him staring at the Nagas, wondering what he was thinking, so he smiled slightly.
Let's get things done here first.
Luke said into the microphone, "I know that in the mining area in the north of Raging Tide City, it's not just the Lawson Fire Crystal Mine that uses slave labor. Since our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau is here, let's check out other mines together.
I want to make it clear in advance that our Cape District Secret Service only punishes the main culprit. As for the trial and sentencing of accomplices and accessories, it is up to Senator Virgil and the Public Security Department, and our Secret Service has no say in that.
Therefore, whether you are a victim or an accomplice, you can expose it. Today, I will use the power given to me by His Majesty to seek justice for the Hilm brothers and all the citizens of the Empire who died in the mines!"
Luke's words were so powerful that everyone was moved.
The miners under guard became agitated, and many of them burst into tears.
Some people stood up and pointed at the supervisors and cursed them; some people took off their tattered clothes to show the scars on their bodies.
The supervisors and private soldiers who used to be so arrogant were all trembling there.
Suddenly, a man who looked like an overseer jumped up, knocked aside an imperial spy beside him and tried to escape. But a snake's tail was faster than him, and his ankle was entangled. Before he fell to the ground, a flash of a knife tore him into pieces, and blood and flesh were scattered all over the ground.
Mrs. Tashia drew and sheathed her swords with her six arms at the same time. Before many people could see clearly, four of her arms were hidden under the blanket she was wearing.
A gunshot rang out, diverting people's attention.
Shelley turned the gun and put it back into the holster. Not far in front of her, another person who wanted to escape had his head blown up.
"Run! Keep running!" Shelley shouted.
No one dared to move.
Inspector Meteorite said that only the main culprits would be held accountable. There were only a few of them, so there was no need to rush to their deaths.
After a brief period of commotion, order was restored.
Luke sat back in his chair with satisfaction, and Kylena sat next to him, recording his confession on a mechanical typewriter.
Next it is time for Detective Meteorite to sit in court and solve the case.
A group of people were brought to Luke by Imperial spies, including miners, slave laborers, mine supervisors and private soldiers.
Because the use of slave labor in the northern mining areas was blatant, the process of collecting evidence was also simple.
The confessions were signed and sealed, and all the identified criminals were tied up and brought before Luke.
During this period, some people escaped, but they were killed on the spot in an instant under the heavy siege.
Some people wanted to encourage their men to resist, but no one dared to respond, and they also ended up being hacked to pieces.
Luke kept his promise and only punished the main criminals. Even most of the criminals brought before him were handed over to the sheriffs.
This makes the order in the venue more stable, and those who commit serious crimes are isolated and very conspicuous.
One night passed like this, and more than thirty people were arrested, but only seven of them were executed on the spot.
The harvest was a thick stack of confessions and several large boxes of bills and receipts seized from various mines.
When it was daybreak, Luke yawned and stood up.
He said to Virgil, who had been with him all night, "I have finished my work, and I will leave it to the Congressman.
As for the other mines that I have not visited, I rely on you to rescue the slave workers inside.
goodbye!
Let’s retreat!”
After saying that , Luke walked out of the station with his cane.
Pisco, holding the Secret Service's flag, shouted, "Inspector General orders the Cape District Secret Service to withdraw."
" Yes, Inspector!"
The imperial spies retreated in a rush, leaving Senator Virgil facing tens of thousands of miners and more than a dozen corpses.
