Chapter 2417 Inquiry (two chapters in one)(1/2)
"Originally I didn't plan to kill you, but you insist on pestering me, so I have no choice but to help you..." The masked man in black said viciously.
The nervousness in the officer's heart began to spread, but he did not flinch at this time, and immediately swung the chain and launched the attack first.
"boom."
The target disappeared instantly, the chain hit the ground, and the tiles on the ground were cracked.
Some passers-by secretly watching the battle in the distance screamed, "Be careful, he is behind you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officer turned around and punched with all his strength.
"boom."
The fists of both sides collided with each other, and the rain falling from the sky was instantly blown away by the impact of the fist collision.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Fierce fighting continued, and all the houses along the way were destroyed.
The passers-by who were watching were frightened and hurriedly evacuated further away.
"These two pig-headed men fought really hard. Do you think our inn will be affected later?" the tall investigator asked.
"According to the current fighting trend, there is a high probability that our inn will be affected." said the short investigator.
"Why don't you go downstairs first? If the inn is really going to be affected, we can evacuate in advance." the tall investigator said.
"Okay." The short investigator nodded, and then the two of them left the guest room and walked downstairs.
Some guests in the inn had similar thoughts. They came to the first floor and looked outside at the door of the lobby.
The two people who were fighting in the distance suddenly stopped moving. Since the distance was relatively close, they were afraid of being affected, so these guests did not dare to run out at this time.
"puff."
The masked man in black punched the officer on the chest. The officer who was knocked away spat out blood and smashed a large hole in the wall of a private house.
Passers-by who saw this scene thought that the officer was going to be doomed next. At this moment, a harsh sound broke through the air.
"call out."
It was an arrow. Someone was bending a bow and shooting an arrow hundreds of meters away. The arrow with psychic energy was very frightening, and it shot towards the target at an extremely fast speed.
The reaction speed of the masked man in black was extremely fast. When he sensed the danger, he immediately turned his attention away from the target and explored the surroundings.
When the arrow struck, the masked man in black immediately dodged to the right.
The avoided arrow hit the wall, instantly blowing the entire wall to pieces.
"Reinforcements are coming." The passers-by onlookers shouted in surprise.
Under everyone's gaze, a well-equipped team appeared in the distance, each person exuding powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.
Among them was a burly figure holding a bow and arrow, and the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from his body were the most powerful.
When the masked man in black saw the reinforcements arriving, he glanced at the seriously injured officer who was vomiting blood, and then immediately ran away into the distance without any hesitation.
The two investigators looked at the masked man in black passing by the door and noticed wounds on his hands.
Although the officer was defeated in the battle just now, the other party also caused some injuries to this powerful rebel.
"He escaped, and there will be no more fighting in our area..." the tall investigator said.
"Yes." The short investigator nodded, "The matter is over, you can go back and continue to rest..."
Afterwards, the two investigators returned to their respective guest rooms and continued to sleep.

The noise in the streets was very loud and many soldiers were looking for the rebels.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window, looking at the noisy street. Some soldiers grabbed passers-by outside and took them away directly.
These passers-by all ran out of the surrounding houses. They were worried about being affected by the fighting. Now that the fighting is over, they are preparing to go home. When they encounter the searching soldiers, they will inevitably be asked some questions.
And because there were so many people, the soldiers couldn't ask them one by one.
At present, we can only take these people back and lock them up. After questioning and confirming that these people have nothing to do with the rebels, they can be released.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked away, listened to the voices of passers-by shouting injustice, and stared in the direction in which the rebels left.
He speculated in his mind that if nothing unexpected happened, all the rebels would have escaped from the city tonight.
If the incident hadn't been a big deal this time, these rebels would still be hiding in the city.
They were experienced and predicted that the manhunt would be even more intensive the next day.
If you continue to stay in the city, your chances of getting caught will increase significantly.
Therefore, for safety reasons, it is better to leave the city overnight.
Ordinary people go out of the city at night and encounter strange beasts outside the city, and they can easily lose their lives.
These rebels are all very strong. They get together and find a place to settle outside the city. Even if they encounter strange beasts at night, it will be relatively simple to deal with them without putting their lives in danger.
…………
The next morning.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was awakened by a loud noise. He quickly got up and opened the window to check.
I saw a group of fully armed cavalry running quickly on the road, heading towards the city gate.
The passers-by who saw this scene were talking a lot. Most of them didn't know what these cavalry were going to do?
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was experienced and probably guessed that this cavalry team was going out of the city to pursue the fleeing rebels.
Logically speaking, after escaping from the city, there is no way to determine the whereabouts of the defectors.
It is basically impossible to send people to chase those rebels later.
Now these heavily armed cavalry are going to chase the rebels. They have most likely obtained accurate information, so they mobilized so many people.
"I hope I can capture a few rebels." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself.
Because it was still early, he went back to bed to rest.
When the sun rose to a certain height in the sky and the inn began to become noisy, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the inn after breakfast.
Next, he will continue to take on missions to earn money and collect the money to buy defensive spiritual weapons as soon as possible.
As there was a lot of commotion in the city last night, not surprisingly, there were a lot of soldiers searching for the rebels today.
When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead went to receive the mission, he encountered many soldiers searching for the rebels.
When I arrived at my destination, I found that there were half as many people here to pick up tasks today than yesterday.
Maybe many people feel that today is a bit chaotic and want to avoid unnecessary trouble, so they won't come here to pick up the mission today.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, looked around and found no soldiers coming here to search for the rebels.
Then he started to browse the tasks, searched for a while, and found a task similar to the previous task of picking purple cloud flowers.
After accepting the mission, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead immediately went to the roadside to find a carriage, and then headed for the city gate.
When he arrived at the city gate, he happened to encounter a group of heavily armed soldiers setting off from the city gate.
This group of soldiers should also be hunting down the rebels who made trouble last night. After they left the city, they rushed towards the woods to the west without any pause.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the city and looked at the ground. Many horse hoof prints were going away in one direction, following the same path as the heavily armed soldiers just now.
It seems that the rebels who caused trouble last night are hiding in the woods to the west.
"It's strange why those rebels are still staying in that place. It would be understandable if it was night. It's always not good to travel at night. I chose to stay in the woods and wait for dawn before traveling."
"It's already dawn now. Isn't it very dangerous to continue to stay in the woods, and it's not very far from Zecheng?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead analyzed what he had experienced before and felt that the rebels who made trouble last night were very unwise.
However, as a hostile party, he still supports the fight against the rebels.
Putting this matter aside, he started heading to the mission location.
This mission is also about picking flowers, but the mission location is further away than last time.
Although the number of people who took on the mission today was half that of yesterday, on the way there, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead still met many people who were doing the same mission.
…………
Spirit World, Tap Rock City.
A figure suddenly appeared in a remote alley. He hadn't been to this city for a while. Lin Fei had just arrived. He looked up at the sky and found that the weather was quite good today.
There is not a single cloud in the endless sky, just like a blue gem.
Lin Fei walked out of the alley and quickly walked to the herbal medicine shop across the street.
"Welcome." The store owner greeted Lin Fei warmly when he saw him arriving.
Lin Fei had come to this store to make purchases before. Although it had been a long time, the store owner still remembered him.
Lin Fei's arrival seemed to the store owner to be a purchase, and the quantity was definitely not small, so he seemed particularly enthusiastic.
"Hello, do you have this kind of herbal medicine here?" Lin Fei greeted the other party for a few words, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
To be continued...
