They all call me master

Almost instantly, Arthur found his predecessor’s memories of the ‘Swordsmanship Competition’ and the ‘Axe Murderer’——

Every three years, an event called the 'Sword Competition' is held in South Los Angeles. Participants are required to use bare hands or cold weapons, and must not be over twenty years old. The winner will not only receive considerable bonuses, but also be able to travel to Inner Bay to participate in Nan County's sword competition. Contest' qualification.

If you are extremely powerful and win the Nan County Swordsmanship Competition, you will be conferred the title of 'Knight' by the Grand Duke of Nan County.

Knights, separated from the ordinary civilian class, have crossed the threshold of the nobility.

Even if it is the lowest level, even if everyone is talking about the "decline of the old nobles", every "Swordsmanship Competition" is enough to attract all those who meet the qualifications.

Because this is glory - if you are lucky enough, a small fiefdom will serve as a witness to 'glory', even if it is taxed.

My predecessor was also very obsessed with this, not because he wanted a fiefdom, but simply because he wanted to be in the spotlight!

But Arthur is much simpler.

He was thinking about whether there was any XP to be gained.

As for the ‘axe murderer’?

That was the most sensational incident in South Los Angeles recently!

The other party is a murderer who appeared in Nanlos two months ago. Every time it rains heavily, the other party will appear in the night and kill innocent people with a wood ax and plunder property.

According to Arthur's review of his predecessor's memories, this murderer had already killed eleven people, including a family of five.

The police made several arrangements, but not only did they fail to catch the other party, but a police officer was attacked and killed.

They are real police officers, not so-called patrol officers.

This frightened the people of Nanlos, and the wealthy people rushed to hire bodyguards, causing the prices of Nanlos security companies to rise.

As for the poor?

Without any extra money, they either choose to stay indoors or stay in groups on rainy nights to reduce the risk.

It can be said that apart from the rumored 'Ripper', the 'Axe Murderer' is the most sensational case in South Los Angeles in recent years.

"A case like this...

Definitely a lot of XP if cracked! "

In spite of himself, Arthur thought.

For Arthur, who is currently extremely short of XP, any behavior that can obtain XP is worthy of serious consideration.

And while Arthur was sitting there thinking quietly, the police chief who had explained to Malinda for a long time that the Kratos family were liars, but still did not let Malinda give up the idea of ​​seeking help, once again pointed the finger. Aimed at Arthur.

"Even the most inexperienced young man among my subordinates is better than this liar!"

As the other party spoke, he glared at Arthur, his red cheeks making him look like he wanted to eat Arthur.

"No!"

"I believe Mr. Kratos is not a liar!"

"He's a real psychic!"

Malinda shook her head, then took out today's Bugle supplement from her pocket and handed it to the police chief.

"Just some tricks!"

The police chief sneered repeatedly, clearly disapproving of it.

In the other party's view, publishing in newspapers to increase publicity is an old method of the Kratos family, and it is not worth paying attention to at all.

"And what just happened!"

Facing the stubborn police chief, Malinda began to tell what had just happened, about Doculer being cursed.

Arthur didn't pay much attention to such a narration.

He knew exactly what the woman wanted: to completely escape suspicion.

In Arthur's view, whether the woman insisted on believing in the psychic or was arguing with Sheriff Lauck at this moment, it was all just to get rid of suspicion.

This is the other party's plan.

Especially when the lady took out the supplement of the Bugle, it proved all this.

The other party accidentally saw the report about him published in the supplement of the Bugle, and guessed that Dokuler would come to him next, which led to the scene that just happened at the door.

But to Arthur's expectation, as the woman told her story, the disdain in Sheriff Hank's eyes began to diminish.

At the end, when the police chief looked at Arthur again.

A cold feeling suddenly appeared in Arthur's heart!

This discomfort immediately made Arthur's muscles tighten!

That is……

The shadow of death!

In the talent column, [Death Intuition] began to flash continuously.

At this moment, Arthur was filled with astonishment.

When he had just faced off with the Sheriff's Fire Gun and Long Sword, the other party had never thought of killing him, even if the other party was extremely angry.

The other party was just scaring him, but now the other party just heard Malinda describing in detail how he cursed Dokule, and actually had hidden murderous intentions.

Is the other party related to Dokul?

wrong!

Not Dokul!

If it were Dokul, the other party would not be so calm and casual when seeing Dokul's body!

so……

The other party really began to believe that he could curse others, and thus speculated that he had the ability to communicate with the dead!

If so, that would be interesting!

Ax murderer?

Hey, Ax Murderer!

Arthur raised his eyes and looked calmly at Sheriff Locke who turned back.

At this moment, he is thinking about what to do to maximize benefits... no, to maximize XP!

Chief Lauck, who didn't notice this at all, shouted loudly——

"Coincidence! That's just a coincidence!"

"Dokule can't die from the curse!"

"He just didn't see your carriage, so this tragedy happened!"

At this moment, Sheriff Lauck was arguing with Malinda again, just like before, even his expressions were the same.

Even if Arthur had some guesses, at this time, he had to admire the Sheriff's acting skills.

Because, anyone who sees this will only sigh at the stubbornness and persistence of this police chief.

Just like the lady in front of me.

However, this woman’s stubbornness is also amazing.

"Thank you very much for your persuasion, but I still want to try - not only because of Anna, but also because of more possible victims.

Since there is an opportunity, why don't we try it?

What if it succeeds? "

Malinda looked at the police chief sincerely again, and this time, the police chief looked a little relaxed, as if he was persuaded by Malinda's words of "no more victims".

"I'm afraid this is all just a waste of time!"

The police chief muttered, then looked at Arthur.

"Ms. Caesar would like to believe you, but I won't!

If I catch you cheating on Ms. Caesar... Humph! "

The police chief snorted coldly, bowed to Malinda, then turned and left.

However, the sergeant did not leave. Instead, he and the patrol officers disposed of Doculer's body outside the door of No. 2 Kirk Street, and questioned the three Scotts and the coachman Edwin.

Throughout the process, the police chief not only patiently guided his subordinates, but also did not let go of any doubts when questioning him. In addition, he had just been persuaded by Malinda's so-called "no more victims" rhetoric, and the other party performed extremely competently.

It can be said that it perfectly fits the character of the police chief.

Arthur, who watched this scene silently, smiled.

“It really fits the character of a police sergeant!

In this case, I hope you can stick to it! "

Thinking in his heart, Arthur looked at the police chief who was about to leave, and said with a smile -

"Chief Locke, please stay."
