Anthony quickly wrote down in his notebook: "Do you have any other clues?"

Helot said: "I killed some corpse stitchers among the necromancers in Hog ​​Town. Of course, it was all in legal self-defense. They invaded my manor and wanted to kill me. These corpse stitchers came from an organization called the Deep Prison. have you heard of it?"

Anthony thought for a moment and shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

"The murderer was probably sent by the Deep Prison to monitor me in Hog ​​Town. When he saw me leaving, he followed me on the train. The reason for his murder is the same as yours. I forced you to drive me off the train and wait for the prison. Backup is catching up.”

"I have sent people to investigate all the passengers traveling in Hog ​​Town. As a necromancer, do you have a faster way to find the murderer?"

"Of course there is a way." Helot then said, "You probably don't want me to find this corpse stitcher here, and then have a battle between necromancers on the train."

Anthony thought of the scene of two necromancers fighting on a train, skeletons versus corpses... it would definitely trigger a riot with unpredictable deaths and injuries.

"If I order your arrest and announce that you will be handed over to the local police station at the next station, the murderer will definitely get off with me."

Helot continued: "The murderer must have bought the same ticket as me, from Hogtown to Covenant City. If he gets off at the next stop, you can tell him apart without me identifying him."

"Yes! Therefore, we still need your cooperation, Mr. Claude, to act out a play with us."

"Happy to appear!"

Herotte and Antony looked at each other and smiled, an easy conversation between smart people.

Anthony walked out of the compartment, his expression immediately became very serious. He looked to the left and right of the corridor, where some passengers were looking.

Anthony made a gesture to the sheriffs who were on standby on both sides, and more than a dozen of them trotted over, driving all the watching passengers back into the compartment along the way.

"The people inside are very suspicious!" Anthony slowly drew his sword and whispered to his subordinates: "One man and two women, two adults and one girl. After rushing in, try to capture them alive. If you encounter resistance, you can kill them. The other party is Necromancer, the most important thing is to prevent spreading damage."

The sheriffs drew their guns together, and some of them were so nervous that their hands were shaking.

There is a necromancer inside, and not everyone can face it calmly.

Anthony asked the unstable Sheriff to stay outside as backup, then stretched out his hand to start the countdown.

5、4、3、2、1!

Anthony swung his sword, the sword light shone, and the solid door was shattered in an instant by his sharp sword.

The police officers armed with guns rushed in shouting: "Don't move, put your hands up!"

Anthony followed and entered, and saw Herotte, Bresini, and Filoro all raising their hands, and Filoro also raised their hands very high.

Herot said: "Chief Anthony, I just made it very clear that my servant and I have never left this room. I did not kill the person."

Anthony immediately stood at the door and said in a loud voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Claude. I'm not sure whether you are the murderer, but you are a necromancer, and the deceased died of necromancy. You have a serious problem." Suspicious.

I will hand you over to the local police station at the next station. If you are wrongly accused, I think the imperial law will clear your name. "

Helot said loudly: "You have no evidence and have no right to restrict my freedom."

"I must think about the safety of all passengers in the train! Every passenger here wants to reach their destination safely. The presence of a deceased person is already a major dereliction of duty on my part. I don't want to see a second innocent person.

Mr. Claude, if you believe you are innocent then accept the investigation. If you resist, my suspicions about you will be proven correct. "

Helot said angrily: "You are such an idiot! Well... I will accept the investigation, and after my innocence is proven, I will definitely file a complaint against you!"

"That's your right! You can put your hands down, but put them where we can see them, and don't make any big movements." Anthony said to his subordinates again: "You guys should keep an eye on them here, there's still half an hour. It’s just to the next station.”

"Yes, Sheriff!"

Anthony exited the room and told the security officers outside: "Calm down the passengers and tell them that we have captured a suspected necromancer and will be handed over to the local security station at the next station.

Everything is under our control and they will arrive at their destination safely. "

"Yes, Sheriff!"

The sheriffs moved to both sides, next to the carriages, to inform the passengers.

Anthony returned to the deceased's room, walked to the table, picked up the half-cup of tea and looked at it carefully.

At this time, the sergeant came in: "Chief of Security, will you take Claude into custody?"

"Take it for inspection!" Anthony gave the tea cup to the sergeant: "During the conversation with Claude, I noticed a lot of doubts. Although I am not sure whether he is the murderer, it will help to get him off the train as soon as possible. Stabilize the mood of passengers."

The assistant officer felt that it was not the boss's style to handle the case so hastily, but the boss must have his reasons for doing so.

As an assistant officer, just follow orders and act.

"Chief of Security, this is the list of people traveling from Hog Town. In addition to Claude and his servants, there are one hundred and sixty-two people. Forty-four of them are destined for the Imperial Capital Covenant City."

The sergeant wrapped the tea cup with a transparent film, and the tea cup and the remaining tea inside were fixed in shape. She put the tea cup into the briefcase on her shoulder and took out a list of names.

Anthony took the list, looked at it, and asked, "Didn't you alert them?"

"No! The flight attendant checked the tickets of all passengers on the pretext of routine inspection of fare evasion, and then verified and compared them with the boarding list in the hands of the conductor. The list contains the car and location of each of them."

Anthony quickly wrote down the locations of the forty-four passengers heading to Covenant City, and then said to the assistant officer: "Come on, come with me to patrol the train. We will reach the next stop in less than half an hour."

"Yes, Sheriff!"

The news that there was a murder in the train and that the murderer was a necromancer had just begun to spread in the train, when news came out that the necromancer had been caught by the sheriffs.

The panic was suppressed before it could arise.

Then it turned into gossip that spread to every corner of the train, spreading quickly among bored passengers.

The news that the murderer was handed over to the local police station at the next station was also known to every passenger.

At the next station, the train is truly safe.

Half an hour passed quickly and the train stopped at the station on time.

Passengers who arrive at the station get off the bus, and passengers who are about to start their journey get on the bus.

Helot, Bresini, and Ferolo stepped off the train under the guard of a group of armed police officers.

It was still dark outside, and the lights on the platform illuminated everyone.
