Mona City, 33 Rose Street.
Knock knock! A knocking sound rang out on the door.
"Who is it! How could you be so heartless as to knock on the door in the middle of the night?"
The door was opened amidst Ruth's grumbling.
Wearing an expensive white silk nightgown, Ruth, whose figure was slightly out of shape, opened the door.
When the door opened, what came into view was a group of three young men dressed in black uniforms with knight's swords at their waists.
Upon seeing the three men's uniforms, Ruth's previously irritated face instantly changed, and her eyes cleared:
"K-Gendarmerie?!"
"You...you found out?"
The three military police officers, who were about to say something, suddenly exchanged glances.
Oh, there's an unexpected bonus!
At this moment, the silver-haired spiky leader said coldly:
"Will you confess yourself, or will we personally search your brain?"
Upon hearing this, Ruth's face paled, and her voice suddenly rose:
"That wasn't what I wanted to do, it was Jeken..."
"Ruth!!"
A loud shout came from inside the house, followed by a large hand grabbing Ruth's face, pinching her nose, and pulling her back inside.
"Get inside here."
The lead military police frowned upon seeing this, but made no move.
At this moment, Jack, who had replaced Ruth blocking the doorway, blushed and gasped for breath before standing in front of the military police:
"I am Jerkken Knightworth!"
"Descendants of the Red Dragon!"
"You've come to me with an investigation warrant from the City Lord's Mansion?"
Upon hearing this, the two military police officers glanced at their captain.
At this moment, the silver-haired military police officer in the lead said expressionlessly:
Is Ruth Knightworth home?
Upon hearing this, Jeken frowned, realizing that something seemed amiss.
If what he did was exposed, why would he look for his wife?
“She’s here.” Jeken turned his head and glanced at Ruth, who was lying on the room floor, groaning.
At this moment, the silver-haired military policeman expressionlessly pulled out an 'investigation document':
"We received a letter from the Adventurers' Guild requesting assistance in the investigation, asking Ruth Knightworth to make an arrest and investigate the quest fraud."
"Huh?" Jeken was stunned.
Meanwhile, Ruth quickly scrambled to her feet, furiously launching into a tirade:
"Who said my quest was fraudulent? Did I post a quest with the Adventurers' Guild?"
She spoke with such confidence and in such a loud voice that the silver-haired military policeman wondered if he had made a mistake.
He looked down and then said in confusion:
"Are you sure you didn't post a quest to find Lynn Knightworth at the Adventurers' Guild around 1 p.m.?"
Ruth was stunned upon hearing this: "How could this be?"
"I posted the quest to find that brat, but I didn't cheat anyone, did I?"
At this moment, cold sweat appeared on Jeken's face.
After confirming that Ruth was aware of the situation, the silver-haired military policeman immediately explained:
"It was you who posted it, that's for sure."
"An adventurer reported to the guild that the same quest is worth 30 fiat currency within the Adventurers' Guild."
"You tricked adventurers into accepting a high-level mission worth 2 legal tender by offering a mission worth 30 legal tender, which constitutes fraud. Please come with us."
Upon hearing this, Rose was completely dumbfounded.
"What did you say? That peasant is worth 300,000? Really?"
At this moment, Jeken moved the corners of his mouth, but found that he couldn't speak.
As the two military policemen walked past him and entered the room to arrest Ruth, Jake finally couldn't help but say:
"Excuse me, could you help me contact the adventurer? I'd like to meet with him and discuss a settlement."
Chapter 17 How can you prove that I am who I am?
No. 10 Mona City, Military Police Headquarters Building.
"You've arrested the wrong person! I didn't intentionally deceive adventurers!"
"You've really arrested the wrong person!!"
Ruth, being escorted by two military police, let out a sharp, piercing scream.
Behave yourself.
Her screams were so offensive that they angered a military policeman, who slapped her across the face!
With a snap, Ruth immediately fell silent.
This scene was followed, but Jeken, who was being escorted, did not witness it.
His face twitched slightly, and he looked at the military police with a hesitant gaze, as if he wanted to say something, but there was also a hidden sense of satisfaction.
Just then, a male voice, tinged with laughter, rang out:
"It's nice to see you again, Mr. Jake."
Jeken paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked up in the direction from which the voice came.
At that moment, at the gate of the military police headquarters, Jack saw Lynn, who was not wearing a mask and had a smile on her face.
Upon seeing Lynn, Jeken's pupils contracted, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
However, at that moment, Ruth, who was standing nearby, immediately started shouting again when she saw Lynn:
"It's you, you mud-blooded brat?!"
"You still have the nerve to come up to me?"
"Hey, you know what, I actually do have it."
Lynn stroked his chin, looking at Ruth with amusement:
"But judging from your expression, you don't seem to realize anything yet?"
As he spoke, Lynn stroked his chin, as if he were seriously pondering something.
A few seconds later, as if suddenly realizing something, he moved his hand, which had been hidden behind his back, to his front, and in his hand was a bat mask.
He slowly put the mask on his face so that Jake and Ruth could see it clearly, and said to them in a very kind tone:
"It's nice to meet you again, esteemed employers!"
Jeken's pupils contracted sharply, and Ruth cried out in alarm:
"It's you!!"
"How could it be you?!"
"That's right, it's me, the one I reported."
Lynn gave Jeken and Ruth a big smile and said, slightly surprised:
"That's strange, why haven't I seen Miss Tan Ning?"
"I was really looking forward to seeing her expression at this moment."
Upon hearing this, Jeken's lips twitched, but he suppressed his emotions and said nothing.
Ruth, who was standing nearby, wanted to hurl insults, but was slapped again by the already annoyed military police.
*Snap!*
Ruth has become obedient again.
The silver-haired military policeman, however, offered a subtle explanation:
"It seems that Tan Ning, whom you are looking for, is staying with a friend. Moreover, she is not the one who initiated the mission and is not within the scope of the arrest."
Upon hearing this, Lynn understood. His mission 1 was issued by Ruth, and mission 2 was issued by Jake. Tanning really had nothing to do with it.
This made Lynn feel somewhat regretful.
However, Lynn quickly adjusted her mindset, turned around, and smiled at the silver-haired military police leader, saying:
"Your Excellency, military police, may I also give this educational matter a try?"
The silver-haired military policeman's face twitched involuntarily upon hearing this.
He had seen too many enemies, but he had never seen Lynn so quick to lash out!
"No!" the silver-haired military policeman said coldly. "Also, please move aside and don't interfere with the military police's law enforcement."
"Ok."
Lynn wisely stepped aside, allowing the three military police to push Ruth into the military police headquarters.
Jeken, who wasn't being escorted, stared coldly at Lynn, but the silver-haired military police captain kept a close eye on him, preventing Jeken from making the slightest move. He could only walk past Lynn with heavy steps.
However, just as Jacken passed by Lynn, Lynn suddenly cast an Appraisal spell on him.
[Ding! Detection successful!]
[Appraisal skill +5, Appraisal skill increased, current level Lv2.]
Suddenly, the silver-haired military policeman walking in front stopped, and his two teammates beside him also stopped, looking at Lynn with unfriendly expressions.
"Adventurer, please watch your behavior. Do not use forensic techniques on people indiscriminately in the city."
At the same time, Jeken suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were standing naked in the grass, being stared at by a wolf.
Upon hearing what the silver-haired military policeman in front of him said, Jeken realized that Lynn had used a forensic technique on him.
Realizing this, even though he knew Lynn's forensic skills weren't great, Jeken couldn't control his emotions. Anger and fear surged within him, and he grabbed Lynn's collar.
"You bastard!!!"
Upon seeing Jaken's action, the silver-haired military police captain, who had been warning Lynn, immediately grabbed Jaken's arm and warned:
"Jacken Knightworth! Let go of my hand right now!"
"Don't embarrass the Knightworth family!!"
Upon hearing this, Jeken suddenly realized something and turned to look at the silver-haired military police captain beside him.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the features of the silver-haired military policeman in front of him were very familiar:
"You are, Cohen?"
Cohen Knightworth gripped Jaken's arm tightly with a stern expression, causing the latter to loosen his grip on Lynn's collar in pain.
"Now that you recognize me, behave yourself!"
"Stop embarrassing Senior Fei Yin."
At this moment, Lynn's expression changed slightly upon realizing that the two seemed to be of the same clan.
Upon hearing Cohen mention Feynman, Lynn Knightworth's mother, Lynn immediately narrowed her eyes and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Lost face?"
