"Mica."

Almost at the moment when the musket was loaded, Kitazawa pulled his body with all his strength, and Mica, who heard Kitazawa's shout, reacted immediately. It quickly jumped off Levi's shoulder, and the moment it landed, it transformed into a The shape of a big cat.

Perhaps it was too sudden, but none of the people around could react immediately. Even the two soldiers with muskets stared blankly at Mica until it ran up, and then they panicked and put their guns down. aim it.

Mica, however, didn't seem to feel the threat at all, and rushed straight behind Bei Ze, destroying the wooden shackle with one claw.

Bang——At the same time as the sound of the gunshot, Kitazawa got up from the ground smoothly, and rolled over onto Mica's back.The grape bullet shot straight at it, and narrowly brushed against Mica's back, leaving a shallow burn on it.

However, at this moment, Yun Mu didn't care about this trivial injury at all, and led Bei Ze straight to the gate.

Witnessing this change, the people in the court suddenly looked like ants on a hot pot, and the soldiers standing at the door wanted to stop the mica that was about to fly out, but they were all kicked to the ground by the mica the moment they raised their muskets.

No one can stop the potential bomb from escaping from this place, the old man standing in front thought desperately, and turned his finger on the survey corps that remained in place.

"Erwin!" The old man's face turned serious, and he stared fiercely at the location of the investigative corps, "Are you planning to cover up criminals?"

"Your Excellency Isayama, I think you have misunderstood. We are more surprised than you by Petra's move." Erwin saluted the old man who had a high status even in the royal family.

"Oh, if that's the case, I hope that your investigative corps will also do their best to cooperate with the gendarmerie in arresting escaped criminals." The old man suddenly darkened, gritted his teeth and continued, "I'll give you five days, if you still fail to catch If Petra Lal is captured, then I have to consider whether to propose a bill to abolish the Survey Corps in the parliament at the end of the year."

"We will not let you down."

Hearing Erwin's assurance, the old man just snorted disdainfully, and then left the courtroom under the escort of the Gendarmerie.

Because the person to be judged escaped, the trial could not continue.Gendarmerie Division Chief Neil Decker quickly summoned the head of the Gendarmerie in the Trost District and ordered the mobilization of members of the nearby Gendarmerie to search for the fleeing Petra Lal.In order to prevent the investigation corps from covering up, members of the special operations squad did not participate in the search. Even so, most of the members of the investigation corps who participated in the search were dispersed to different search teams.

The search went on for three days and three nights, but nothing was found about Petra Lal's whereabouts.

Neil Decker, who was sitting in the temporary office, listened to the continuous reports from his subordinates, and his complexion gradually became serious.

"Erwin, let me ask you, do you really not know where she is?" Neil propped his chin with his hands, staring at Erwin who was sitting across the desk with a serious expression.

"I don't know... I think you have heard this answer no less than ten times." Erwin's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about the result of the search.This is also what Nair can't figure out. Isn't this related to the future of the Survey Corps?Why is he still so calm at this moment, or does he still have any backup?

Even leaving this point aside, Nair still couldn't understand the person in front of him. Just like this accident, the survey corps also had victims, but he didn't seem to feel it at all. Instead, he felt sorry for Petra who killed those men. Lal paid more attention to it, and even went against the people above.

But no matter what, the most important thing at this moment is to arrest Petra Lal as soon as possible.

"I hope you can figure it out, Erwin," Neil rubbed his temples with some headaches, "There are still two days left, if Petra Lal is still not found, not only will I be punished, Even whether the investigation corps and activities outside the wall can continue is a problem, don't tell me...do you want all the people who have died so far to die in vain?"

"You don't need to remind me of this, Neil." Erwin raised his eyebrows, "As you said, in order not to let the people who have died so far die in vain, you think I will know Petra Under the circumstances of the location, did you deliberately not say it?"

"...Then I will trust you again..."

While talking, someone from outside came to report again, but nothing was found.

Neil sighed, picked up a pen and made a cross on a certain point on the map. In this way, most of the areas in Wall Rose have been searched.

"If she can't be found in this mountain forest, I think we have to go out of the wall or search the underground streets of the capital." Nair tapped the location of Wall Maria and the capital respectively with the tip of his pen. .

"The underground street in the capital?" Erwin looked at him in surprise with an expression of "how could you think of it there".

"Isn't it? I remember that you found Levi in ​​the underground mall."

"There are relationships?"

"No? It is said that the two of them even have illegitimate children, don't they?"

Neil's tone seemed to be joking, but Erwin frowned subconsciously after hearing this.Although that matter was not a secret to the Investigation Corps, and of course, they never meant to hide it, but this feeling that everyone knew it made all the hairs on his body stand on end.

"I didn't expect the Gendarmerie to know this kind of gossip. Should I praise you for being well-informed?"

"Ervin, don't doubt me," Neil shrugged and continued in a low voice, "I can only say that the attitude towards Petra Lal is limited to general freedom, and it has not yet let her go." The point of doing anything... Like what happened in Wall Rose this time, our Gendarmerie Corps was the first to report it, but the higher-ups had already started to take countermeasures before we reported it."

"did you mean……"

"Report--"

Another hasty shout from outside just interrupted Erwin's words. The two looked at the same time, and saw the soldiers outside rushing in through the door, and they continued speaking before they had time to catch their breath.

"That...that Petra Lal found..."

"What did you say?" Neil stood up excitedly.

The ear-piercing sound of wooden chairs sliding on the floor ran through the entire room, but no one cared about the sound at all. Everyone... including the soldiers guarding the gate also looked at the person who came to report.

"Squad No.11 found Petra Lal's body in the forest in the North Zone."

"Corpse?" Nair frowned, obviously not very satisfied with the result.

"Yes, it has been confirmed by the trainees of the 101st period. It is indeed Petra Lal himself."

"Dead?" Neil still didn't let go of his frowning eyebrows. He lowered his head and glanced at Erwin who also showed a surprised face, and then said, "How did you die... No, forget it, I and I Let's go and see together."

Because of this sudden change, Erwin didn't express his guess in the end, but... it was no longer necessary.

Afterwards, Nair went to the mountains and forests in the North District together with the soldiers who had just reported and several team members. Of course, Erwin was also with him.And after seeing the dead body of Petra Lal, even if Nair felt that there must be a conspiracy, he had to admit that the dead body was real.

It was indeed Petra Lal herself, that was absolutely true.

"...It looks like it fell from the sky." The member of the Gendarmerie in charge of the autopsy pointed to the twisted legs and left shoulder of the corpse, and explained to Neil who rushed over, "The brain of the deceased is not too big. However, both legs were completely broken, and the left shoulder was also shattered due to the impact during the fall, but these were not fatal injuries, the fatal injury should be here..." He pointed at the tree that was pierced by a branch. Throat, "It was probably poked by an upside-down branch, and he lost too much blood before he died."

The death of the corpse was terrible, except for the face, there was basically no intact place. The members of the gendarmerie who followed Neil glanced away after only a few glances.

"Estimated time of death?" Nair also turned his head a little bit unbearably.

"It should have been last night." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to ask his teammates to cover the corpse with the white cloth again, and then asked cautiously, "Commander, how do you report to the higher authorities?"

"It's impossible to die." Nair sighed, turned his head and glanced at Erwin, who hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, "As for the corpse...let's leave it to the Survey Corps."

On the same day, the gendarmerie reported the news to the headquarters of the corps in the royal capital, and the group of nobles in the parliament knew the news shortly after that, and the arrest warrant for Petra Lal was indeed withdrawn the next day up.

The vast majority of people are satisfied with this result, whether it is the group of people in the capital, the public, or members of the investigation corps... Even Kitazawa himself is quite happy, and the only thing that makes her dissatisfied is The place where there is probably only his own death.

Every time she recalled how she fell to her death, she couldn't help but vomit.

"I said, can't you die more beautifully?" Kitazawa cast a dissatisfied glance at the person sitting across from him.The person on the other side didn't seem to feel it at all, without raising his head, he said unhurriedly, "You said that as long as the face is fine, the rest must be more realistic..."

"..." But it's too realistic!

The author has something to say: Isayama-dono who appeared in the text just couldn't think of the name for a while, and it didn't feel inconsistent when I tried to pronounce it, so I used it.
