Chapter 290: The Murderer and Torture (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription) Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass
Rheint's arrest has restored the city of Aylward to its former vitality, after all, the murderer has been caught, and people no longer have to worry about it.
Of course, this is just a smoke bomb released by Lance, and now nothing is as important as stabilizing people's hearts! As long as she can stabilize the public, Lance doesn't mind lying. Anyway, Rheint is not wronged.
At least in later interrogation logs, it was confirmed that this bastard was responsible for most of the disappearances. This guy frantically made more than 100 large and small merchants disappear, and made a direct profit of almost more than 3 million gold coins, not counting the price of those shops and land, if these messes are added together, the loose ones can be doubled.
At the same time, in order to divert the target, this guy also kidnapped almost 300 women and children. Half of them had already been sold, and half had been transferred by him outside the city.
If it weren't for Bauer's decisiveness, the more than 30 women and children rescued yesterday would really not have been able to catch him, which was the evidence that Rheint was the last to be transferred outside the city. If he really wants to send these innocent women and children out, it will be difficult to catch him again.
Through Reinter's mouth, Bauer also discovered that there are not only Rheint who fish in troubled waters, but several groups of people are also doing this hookup. Who called that murderer so powerful, there was no clue at all, so those people recklessly fished in troubled waters everywhere.
Then throw the black cauldron to the murderer, which is both trouble-free and risk-free. At that time, the security team focused all the attention on the murderers, and it was normal not to notice them.
Following this news, Bauer and the others really cracked several such gangs that fished in troubled waters, and let the seven nobles fall on this matter by the way.
Seeing Bauer's report, Lan Siqi's whole body trembled! These nobles are so shameless that they don't want to serve the kingdom, even if they still do this kind of hookup in secret, they simply lose all the face of the kingdom.
Lance didn't show mercy either, and directly sent the Knights of Elward to raid all the seven nobles!
The Knights of Elward are actually not regular knights, and they have only been established in the past few days, and the personnel of these knights are all provided by the nobles who have recently defected to the princess.
The number was not large, 150 official knights, 247 knightly attendants, plus 200 noble private soldiers. Since the refuge is of course not just lip service, as soon as the princess said that she would form a temporary knight order, those nobles took out their milk strength without saying a word, and contributed so many people.
These people are all managed by the elite of the army brought by the princess, and this knight order is also a large military force in the current city of Aylward.
Lance sent them to raid the house, in fact, it didn't mean to vote for the name, although they took refuge in Lance, but Lance also had to believe it, so simply let them break with the previous interest group!
Those nobles also knew very well what the princess meant, but they were still a little resistant in their hearts, after all, although they took refuge in the princess, they were still inextricably linked with the previous interest groups, and they turned their faces to the black.
This is really a bit of a wife's words, and the princess is too ruthless, she doesn't leave a chance at all, and she actually raids the house directly! This made those nobles a little sad too.
But on second thought, this is obviously a test for the princess, if she shrinks her head at this time, then the two ends are not human. If you don't have the same heart with the princess now, will those former interest groups accept them again?
How can there be such a good thing, they have recently taken advantage of the fact that those interest groups were suppressed by the princess, but they have thrown stones into the well and wantonly seized political interests! Looking back now, it's no wonder that those people will really accept it.
Since this is the case, it is better to follow the princess all the way to the dark, at least the immediate benefits are real, and drive this group of people down, so that they can be on top.
So grit your teeth, stomp your feet, and count it! If you want to do it, you have to do it thoroughly, anyway, it's already like this, so it's better to cut it all at once.
So, these people on that day ran to raid the house, which is called a ruthless! didn't care about the previous friendship at all, and it was really copied from the bottom up! Even the Montes family did not let go!
Such an old aristocrat was actually rushed into the family lair by a group of people and turned upside down! It's a loss of face.
At the same time, the Montes family also lost most of their business and land in Aylward on this day! The strength of the family has been greatly weakened. If you become a king or lose a villain, no one will show mercy.
Of Clifford's three sons, one son was sentenced to death, and the eldest son was also deprived of his noble status by the princess because of concealment and false accusations, and he was never hired, and his future was ruined!
The second son was also expelled from the army, and his future was not much better. As for the daughter, she escaped this catastrophe, after all, although this woman is sturdy and her brain is not very clear, she really hasn't done anything hurtful.
But the mayor's wife can't be it, with the princess's dislike for this wretched mayor, if he can still sit in the mayor's position, it is completely delusional.
The once-famous Mendes family is already a thing of the past in just a few days, and it is said that Clifford is now bedridden and will not be able to do so. As soon as this old fellow dies, the entire Montes family is doomed.
This is not bad, the other 7 nobles, worse than them, were collectively deprived of the title of nobility! All the land wealth has been confiscated, and they will all be exiled when spring begins!
The princess's move directly scared the nobles in the city to tremble, it was so strong that it was almost a fight with Queen Xinbu!
But the current princess doesn't have time to pay attention to this, she is still looking for the real murderer, she hasn't forgotten the purpose of her here.
"You mean the real murderer isn't in this group?"
"Yes! I've carefully read the records of those people's interviews, and they are all scum who fish in troubled waters, and they have nothing to do with the disappearance in the first place! They are completely different from the murderer's target! ”
In the face of the princess's inquiry, Bauer replied categorically that he was worried about one thing now, that is, the princess would be satisfied when she found out here. After all, such a terrifying truth is enough to give the people an explanation, and ordinary people probably won't ask for trouble.
"The murderer has rarely committed crimes recently, but I can't guarantee when he will run out, I think we should continue to investigate!"
Bauer is reminding the princess that the case is not over yet.
However, Bauer's worries are completely unnecessary, and Lance has no intention of giving up at all, she is here to catch the real murderer! As for dealing with those nobles, it is by the way.
"Well, well, you tell us about the murderer again."
To be honest, Lance has been in Elward City for so many days, and he really hasn't paid much attention to this murderer, no way, these nobles have gone too far, and they can't do things well if they don't clean them up first.
"Yes!" Hearing that the princess did not intend to give up the pursuit, Bauer immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that we have investigated, we can generally determine the target of the murderer."
"The murderer's goal is very purposeful, he will only do it to men between the ages of 20 and 35, and these people all have one thing in common, they are not ordinary people, at least the professional level is more than level 12, as for what the profession is, there are no special regulations, it can be a priest, a knight, a warrior, and a ranger. Before these people disappeared, nothing special happened around them, that is, there were no signs.
*********
While Lance was listening to Bauer's report, in an underground space, the eight-legged monster was torturing a man.
"Ahh The man had been screaming since the beginning, and the sound was not at all like a human being, and the pain and despair contained in it could only be heard in hell.
The man was tied to an "X"-shaped metal table, and the skin on the front of his entire body was completely "opened", why is it said to be open? Because the skin from the head to the thighs was opened up in the middle and placed on either side of the body.
This state can be described as peeling an orange, the skin is peeled off intact, and the contents are intact. Although his skin had been peeled off, the muscles inside were still intact, and not much blood was coming out.
When the man screamed, he could clearly see that the muscles that had no skin covering him were twitching. The person who watched was terrified, and his chest and abdominal cavity were also opened, and those muscles were perfectly separated, and through the ribs, it could be seen that the internal organs of the person's body were still moving normally.
You can see that his lungs and heart are stirring up and stirring, and his stomach is twitching with his screams.
A person who was made like this did not die, and it can be seen from this how skilled the eight-legged monster is.
I saw that the strange man was using some strange equipment to poke around in the man's body, and with each stab, the man's screams became more and more terrible. Ordinary people are bold if they are in this kind of environment and are not scared to pee, but what about this weirdo?
As if he couldn't hear it at all, he turned a blind eye to the gore in front of him, and just concentrated on his own business.
"Well, the internal organs are strengthened, and they are quite qualified, and now they can be remodeled." The strange man nodded in satisfaction after checking the strength of the man's internal organs.
"You must hold on, you are the only one among hundreds of people who has persevered until now, you must hold on."
The strange man seems to have great expectations for the person who is lying down now, and his words are sincere, his tone is kind, and he is full of encouragement, but when he sees the object of his encouragement, he can't accept it personally.
To make others like this, and to look forward to it with an ardent face, is simply perverted!
So the answer to him was still "Ahh The screams continued, even though the eight-legged monster had stopped moving, but the man was still screaming, and it seemed that he had no intention of stopping.
