Chapter 247 The Night Watch Captain’s Investigation
The breeze was blowing gently, and the sun had just risen, reflecting an orange-red light through the clouds on the horizon, illuminating the entire town.

The early-rising townspeople hurriedly walked on the streets, stalls in front of various shops opened one after another, and the shopkeepers were busy preparing for the day's business. Birds sang happily on the treetops, adding a touch of vitality and vitality to the morning, and the entire town was enveloped in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

Nasir Town.

A black carriage stopped in the town. A mature man with a straight figure and full of masculine charm opened the door of the carriage and stepped down steadily.

His black tuxedo was neat, and he stared at everything around him with melancholy eyes. Behind him came three Night Watch teammates of completely different ages.

Louis is the captain of the first team of the Fein City Night Watch, a blood knight with a qualitative transformation.

He is not a Siyat, but a Valerian. In fact, all the night watchmen in every city are transferred from other places.

In order to prevent local people from colluding with local nobles, the church adopted a system that night watchmen in local cities must not employ local people.

Although it was his first time to visit Nasir Town, Louis could clearly feel the difference of this town as soon as he got off the carriage.

It's developed a little too well.

After just walking around for an afternoon, Louis couldn't help but marvel at the vigorous development of this town.

"Among the four eastern countries, I thought that Valere and Cania were the most developed countries. I never expected that there are many good places in Siat."

Because they had been shopping for a while, Lewis’s subordinates nodded slightly.

"Indeed, captain, this town called Nasir looks good. Although its population and area are not as large as Fein City, it can barely be regarded as a small city."

Over the years, the population of Nasir Town has surged and various industries have developed.

Before Byrne disappeared, he had speculated that as long as the railway construction was completed, Nasir Town could become a new city in a short time.

Louis took a deep breath, felt the salty smell of the sea, and murmured to himself: "Seaside towns are really charming for an inland person like me, and I kind of want to stay here forever."

However, they did not come to this town for a leisure vacation, but because of Colonel Abel's report, they were ordered to investigate the situation of the Fisher family.

At the same time, Director Carly will also secretly investigate the Lion family.

Many people said that Abel's mental state was abnormal, and people in the night watchers suspected that it might be related to supernatural power, or even because of the heretical cult.

"I hope we can find something on both sides. No, it's better not to find anything."

Louis sighed and shook his head. Unlike Director Carly, who was a bit fanatical and hateful, he actually felt that this night watchman job was just a job.

If special circumstances are found, Lewis will take it seriously, but if nothing is found after a search, he will leave immediately and will never stalk him again.

Arriving in the hotel room, the night watchmen began a meeting about what to do next.

"It will take us at most a month to find out some clues, but if it takes more than a month, we can leave."

“It’s impossible to work overtime.”

Louis murmured to himself, and then his only female subordinate heard him.

The female subordinate grabbed his arm and couldn't help shouting: "Captain Lewis! We must work hard for God! Come on!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Louis took a deep breath, and then said helplessly and lazily: "We cannot reveal our identities, we cannot wear uniforms during this period, and everything must be kept confidential."

"Let's start with the ordinary people around us to see if they know anything. By the way, we should not contact those extraordinary people during this period, so as not to alarm the Fisher family."

He paused and continued: "Although among ordinary people, there are probably people from the Fisher family."

"But this kind of thing is unavoidable."

First, Louis started investigating from the hotel where everyone was staying. He gave the waitress a little extra tip in the evening, and then started asking questions.

"Hello."

The slender and thin woman was a dragonborn, with a weak face, and said expressionlessly: "Guest, my name is Lily, and I am the waitress of this hotel. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."

"Let me tell you first that I will not have any... physical contact with the guests."

Louis took a sip of wine and looked at her with the strength of the wine, and found that there were very few gray scales on her skin, and her neat gray hair was left to her waist.

"Miss Lily, I want to ask you about some little things."

Lily's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately:
"What? As long as there's a tip, I can say anything!"

Lewis nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"Well, there are some things about this town. Have you heard of any strange things, such as whether anyone has disappeared, or similar mysterious rumors."

In order to avoid the possibility of the townspeople reporting the news, Louis did not directly target the Fisher family, but first asked about various special circumstances in the local area.

That's a rule of thumb. Where heretics take root, there will often be eye-catching situations such as missing persons or strange phenomena. Because in order to obtain sacrifices and perform various ritual spells, the heretics had to plunder and kidnap the local population and create various mysterious events.

Therefore, experienced people will start from these things when investigating heresies.

"Why do you ask such a thing?" The waitress was stunned.

Lewis laughed, took out a booklet with a lot of random things drawn on it, and then said: "Because I am a scholar who is very interested in extraordinary events, and I have always been pursuing mysterious phenomena."

The waitress thought for a moment and finally said carefully:

"Missing people? It hasn't happened in the past few years. As for the strange things you mentioned, it has happened. Flesh and blood are lost every night in the bar next door."

"Disappearing flesh and blood? You continue?"

Lewis wrote down a lot of what Lily said, and then took a subordinate to the bar next door to investigate before it was time to get off work.

However, they soon discovered that the culprits were just the cats and dogs in the neighborhood. However, investigations were like this. Most of the time, they returned without success, so a few people were not discouraged.

In the next few days, the night watchmen inquired about the situation from the surrounding townspeople, and even tried to bribe them with money.

Lewis's female subordinate transformed herself into a homeless woman begging at a joint through disguise. Innocent women disguised like her are actually the easiest targets for heretical groups.

Simply put, it’s fishing.

However, the night watchmen had been checking like this for half a month, and they still found nothing.

They also accidentally solved a murder case in Nasir Town and almost exposed their true identities.

"It's over, let's go back."

One night, Lewis watched several people suddenly speak.

The female subordinate was a little excited and asked: "There is no abnormality in the Fisher family? Mr. Lewis, do you want to draw a conclusion so quickly? We have obviously made a lot of efforts."

Lewis shook his head slowly and said calmly:
"No, I don't know if there is anything abnormal about them, but there will be no results if we continue to investigate like this."

"There are two situations. Either they have run the entire town watertight and are playing tricks on us, or they really don't have any problems at all."

"But no matter what, our investigation behavior should have been known. There will be no results in the future, and it may even lead to misunderstanding and danger."

Louis pondered silently, there was one of the most dangerous and terrifying situations, the Fisher family might have targeted them from the moment they entered here.

Moreover, everyone's actions are controlled by that mysterious family, and they will not reveal their flaws easily.

Louis laughed and said:

"Anyway, there is no hope in any regular investigation. Only by raiding the manor and checking if there are any strange basements or heretical relics can we get some results."

The female subordinate lost her excitement again, took a deep breath and said:

"But we need evidence before we can raid, right? Even we, the night watchmen, can't do that kind of thing just because of a report. The other party is still the actual ruler of the Four Towns."

Lewis raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Hehehe, if they were the condemners, they would dare to do that."

The face of the female subordinate changed slightly. She had long heard that many of the condemners were clergy who had committed sins in the past, but now, they were approved to serve as atonements for the churches.

Louis put his hand under his chin and said slowly and calmly:
"There are many rumors about the Fisher family. Their rise is very fast, and the family members have demonstrated many completely different extraordinary powers."

"For decades, everyone who opposed them died one by one. This family is very scary, maybe even more scary than the lions."

"We have to be prepared for everything to confront it head-on, otherwise the best thing to do is to leave."

-

In the basement of the Fisher family, the family members watched the night watchmen leave Nasir Town through the "black mirror" barrier. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lily, who plays the hotel waiter, is actually Licia, who has been monitoring those people during this time.

Vanessa frowned and said, "The night watchmen finally left. I've been on tenterhooks for the past half month."

Darren shook his head slowly and said: "Don't worry, there will be various investigations on us in the future, so there is no use worrying."

"But compared to those things, the most important thing is that we can find our own way."

A subtle smile appeared on his face.

"I can feel that the sequence power of the third ladder is being digested very slowly, and I need to do something, hehe."
