Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 32: Night Hunt
The police station was very quiet late at night.

As the capital of the Sky Dome and a center for commercial, military, and magic research, the City of Travel has always had top-notch public security.

Not to mention serious crimes like murder and rape, even incidents like drunk fights are pitifully rare.

The police officers in the Travel City Police Station have long been accustomed to dealing with routine tasks such as finding cats and dogs. Every year, if the police station wants to meet the [crime eradication] target, it has to rely on cracking down on [illegal trading of reproductive rights].

However, the reason why the police station in the Traveling City is so idle is not because the [Guard Mage] of the Traveling City is lazy.

Quite the contrary!

Good fighters have no illustrious feats.

The reason why the police station in the Travel City is so idle is that most of these police officers are elites transferred from the police stations in various local cities!
Most cases that fall into their hands are resolved within a short period of time, and there is no backlog of cases at all.

That’s why the city of travel is so peaceful.

It was almost midnight and the police station was quiet. Except for one officer on duty, all other officers had fallen asleep.

“Report to the police!!!
I want to report a case!!!
Someone come quickly! There are spies from the Silver Church in the [Travel City Club]!"

Richard shouted and called all the police officers in the police station.

Click!

A crisp sound was heard, and the police officer on duty pressed the button and closed the glass door of the police station the moment he heard Richard's words clearly.

Didi didi dou~
Ding Ding Ding!
For a moment, alarms rang throughout the police station, and several alarm bells rang at the same time.

"Why is the alarm going off? What's going on?"

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

In less than ten seconds, the [Guard Mages] in the police station ran out one after another.

Their wizard robes are very special, black on the left and white on the right.

The biggest feature of this wizard robe is that it is eye-catching and can be used for identification.

As soon as they ran out of the room, they consciously formed a semi-encirclement, surrounding Richard at the center of the circle.

"What happened? Why was the alarm sounded?"

Just then, the chief of police came out of his lounge while getting dressed.

Contrary to Richard's expectations, the chief of this police station was not a wizard, but a dark elf with black hair, black pupils and long ears.

"Sheriff! This wizard ran away from the Traveling Night Club. He reported to the police that he found a spy from the Holy See in the Traveling Night Club."

"A spy from the Holy See?!" The dark elf sheriff frowned fiercely. He looked at Richard, tilted his head in confusion, and said with certainty:
"You are Richard! The hero who blocked the stigmata shackles for the Lord of Xingge City! I remember you, I saw your photo and name in the newspaper.

What is this spy you are talking about? Please tell me the details. "

"it is good!"

Richard quickly described to the police officers the whole process of seeing the halfling attendant in the Travel Night Club, and added seriously:
“Officer, you know I’m a Stigmata mage.

Judging from the history of our Silver City-State, every Stigma Mage will be secretly contacted by the people of the Holy See.

Due to the special nature of the stigmata, all stigmata mages will be controlled by the Holy See if they want to restore their magic power.

I suspect that the halfling is a spy of the Holy See. He tried to get in touch with me and turn me into a spy through coercion and seduction!"

Having said that, Richard put his hand on his chest and said loudly:
“But they misjudged my loyalty to the Silver City, and also misjudged my love for the Lord of Star Song City!
If I go to the Holy See, won't I be able to meet the Lord of Xingge City?

Compared to the Lord of Xingge City, a mere magic is better off not having it!"

After hearing Richard's words, the Dark Elf Sheriff frowned. He completely ignored Richard's madness, nodded in deep thought, and asked Richard:

"When you saw the words 'We will save you', was there any magical image left?"

"Ah... Of course not. I never expected to see those five words. How could I have prepared the photo stone in advance?"

"Did you keep the receipt?"

Richard shook his head solemnly, "I thought about leaving the receipt, but I was afraid that my movements would alert the enemy, so I didn't try.

If I still had the magic power at that time, I would definitely try to use magic to restrain the halfling servant directly, but I had been sealed by the stigmata and had no fighting ability.

To protect myself, I could only pretend I didn’t know anything and let him go, then I ran to call the police.”

The Dark Elf Sheriff nodded in agreement and said to Richard:
“Your choice is right, and your suspicion is also correct.

The other party's sneaky behavior is indeed very likely to be a spy from the Silver City.

But now there are two problems.

First, you don't have direct evidence to prove that the halfling attendant is a spy of the Holy See.

Without solid evidence, we run the risk of misjudgment.

Based on my experience, I think the halfling servant is most likely innocent and is just being used. The real spy is someone else.

Second, we are a police station here and do not have the authority to investigate spies.

Even if we have solid evidence, we can only notify the Xingyue Society and let them handle it.

[Travel Night] is a formal club with extremely high profits, and there are big shots from our Silver City behind it.

In the absence of solid evidence, it would take at least two weeks for the Star-Moon Society to prepare for their attack on the Travel Night Club.

"Two weeks! How can that be in enough time?"

A mage police officer next to the dark elf sheriff asked anxiously:

“Inspector, Mr. Richard is the hero who saved the Lord of Star Song City. I believe he would not joke about such a serious matter.

If we let that spy get away, it would be a huge loss to our performance, ugh, to our Silver City!"

"Of course I know it's not that easy for him to run away.

We can't search [Travel Night] in the name of searching for spies, but we can 'search for illegal activities'!

Everyone listen up!

I just received a report from Richard, the candidate for the Silver Cross Medal, that a transaction involving [illegal intercourse] was discovered at the Travel Night Club.

Immediately call all nearby police forces and contact other police stations for support. Tonight, not a single mosquito can fly out of the travel night! "

"Yes!!!"

……

……

As night fell, only a few pedestrians and vehicles remained on the streets.

In a busy neighborhood in front of the Travel Night Club, several unmarked magic cars were parked quietly on the street corner, with their lights off and curtains locked, appearing extremely low-key.

Soon, several plainclothes police teams gathered under the magic street lights. They were dressed in ordinary citizens' clothes and looked like ordinary passers-by.

The teams include experienced investigators, special police officers and female police officers responsible for recording and searching women.

The experienced dark elf sheriff carefully checked the equipment of each member, and after confirming that it was correct, he said in a low and firm voice:
"Remember, our goal is to remove illegal activity from Travel Night Club and keep Travel City safe, not to search for spies.

Even if they really caught the spy, it would be an unexpected gain for Saofei.

We must strictly abide by the law, remain professional and calm. All actions are under my command. Pay special attention to halflings. Any halflings you see must be strictly controlled. "

"Yes, sir."

The team members nodded to show their understanding and then divided into several pre-arranged groups. Each group had a specific task, some were responsible for entering the site for field investigation, and some were responsible for perimeter security to ensure that no one escaped.

"I declare that Operation Night Hunt has officially begun!"

As the order was given, the teams began to act quickly and orderly.

The plainclothes police officers quickly approached the target building, some stayed behind as support, some quickly surrounded the entire travel night, and others entered the building quietly!

"Don't move! We've received a report that you're illegally trading reproductive rights on travel night!
We are under orders to conduct a surprise inspection! Everyone, be quiet."

"You! Crouch down! You squat too!"

“Line up, line up.

Waiters squat on the right, customers squat on the left, squat properly."

A large group of guard mages wearing black and white wizard robes quickly surrounded the entire hall of Travel Night.

They took control of the front desk at lightning speed, produced their security wizard certificates and search warrants, and used magic to block out any sound and ensure silence.

At the same time, another group of guard mages quickly crossed the corridor and entered the interior of the Traveling Night.

"Officer! This is unfair! We are just a small business."

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Officer, you must have misunderstood.

Deputy Mayor Pidolan and Chief Sheriff John both led teams to inspect our travel night, and they were both very satisfied with our travel night. "

The two most senior managers in the hall were extremely anxious.

While shouting, they came closer to the guard mage and tried to use their connections to put pressure on him.

But the guarding mages just snorted coldly and used magic to control them, not giving them any face at all.

"Police officers are investigating cases, so please do not make noise! ​​Whether you have committed an illegal act is not up to you to decide, we will investigate it ourselves.

"Everyone, just squat down and keep quiet!"

Seeing the resolute attitude of the guard mages, the two managers looked bitter and pale.

Ten minutes later, support from the guard mages arrived and they completely took control of the situation.

So Richard followed another group of guard mages and walked in through the main gate.

Richard stood next to the Tai Chi robe officer, under the protection of the officers, ready to identify the halfling who passed the information to him at any time.

In the hall, a bunch of guests waiting to enter and managers in professional attire were squatting on the ground obediently, with blank eyes, looking a little funny.

As Richard was concentrating on observing the hall, he suddenly sensed a sense of resentment.

He immediately turned around and saw the two beautiful managers who had just led him were staring at him with resentful eyes. One of them was holding his shoes in her hand.

When she saw Richard looking at her, she burst into tears:

"Wow! Brother Richard. It was you who reported us!

Brother Li!! You are so awesome, Brother Li!

We just served you, and you turned around and reported us for illegal activities. You are really honest. Who in the city of travel can be more honest than you?

"Okay, okay, Brother Li, I will remember you. You are truly the most affectionate person in the Silver Federation."

No... I misunderstood... I really misunderstood... I really didn't report you for illegal activities.

Hahahahaha.

Chad felt bitter inside, but couldn't help wanting to laugh. He didn't know how to explain it, so he could only turn his head away in embarrassment.

Who would have thought that when he turned his head, he would just see the naked dwarf Green Ham being escorted out by two police officers.

"Hmm? Hmm! Hmm?!!"

Green Ham tilted his head and looked at Richard standing among the guard mages, his eyes strange.

"Ah?! Boss, Warden! Is this how you play it?
good good!
I invited you to the club to celebrate your appointment. But you called the police and got me arrested.

Your brother has a heart-to-heart relationship with you, but you are playing tricks with your brother?
How abominable! You are trying to show your power to me, your brother, intimidate me."

I misunderstood...I really misunderstood
Although Green Ham didn't say anything, Richard could see everything from his eyes.

He covered his forehead helplessly, thinking about how to compensate this upright dwarf brother so that he could calm down.

When it comes to the Holy See, one can never be too cautious.

The dark elf sheriff knew this truth very well, so he kept issuing requests for help due to the shortage of manpower, and almost mobilized all the police officers in the entire travel city.

Of course, he was under a lot of pressure to do this.

Richard saw with his own eyes that since they had completely taken control of the club, the Dark Elf Sheriff's communication conch had never stopped ringing.

At first he would answer it, then apologize profusely amidst the curses, but in the end he simply pressed the conch off.

There is a kind of heroic spirit of a general who is not subject to military orders when he is away from the battlefield.

Richard wanted to praise the Dark Elf Sheriff, but the Dark Elf Sheriff took the initiative. He leaned close to Richard's ear and whispered:
"All right, Richard. My future depends on you. If I fail to find the spy and I step down, you will be ashamed of me for the rest of your life."

Richard broke out in a cold sweat after hearing these words.

There was another reason why he was sweating coldly: he encountered a big problem.

"No! Not here, not there! It's broken. The halfling servant who sent me the receipt is gone!"

The Dark Elf Sheriff's ears perked up when he heard Richard's words.

He frowned and said through gritted teeth:

"It's broken. I'm pretty sure every halfling in the club from the entire trip night is here, and no one can leave while we search it.

If the halfling you're talking about is really gone.

Then he must have managed to escape before we arrived.

Halflings are not a rare race in our traveling city, and it would be impossible to find him in a short time.

The transportation in the city we are traveling in is well developed, and he may escape from the city at any time, just like a fish entering the sea, it is difficult to find his trace.

Unless someone can order the closure of the city and block the entire travel city."

The dark elf glared at Richard, and Richard tilted his head to look at the dark elf.

"What are you looking at me for, officer?"

The dark elf was furious: "I was pointing at you, but you couldn't hear it. Why don't you go and ask the Lord of Xingge City for help?

You saved her life, there is no way she would ignore you."

"I... I don't have the contact information of the Lord of Xingge City. I don't have any magic power now, so I can't use the communication conch." Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Fuck! I'll contact the City Lord's Mansion and you tell me."
