Chapter 439: Crime Scene

"Brother Vader, this ...... Is this really good?" Huotou touched the cloth on his body with some nervousness, "The chief knight said that the uniform is our status symbol, and we must wear it neatly when we are on duty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

"And if you get dirty, you will be punished, not to mention that you don't wear it at all," the whistle kept looking left and right, as if he was afraid of being seen by his peers.

"Don't be verbose, it's symbolic enough to wear it, Black Blond stands in the snow, and you know that there are police there hundreds of steps away, how can you arrest people?" Vader spat out, "You're from the border town, right?"

"Yes," as soon as they said this, the two of them suddenly came to their senses, "My father is a hunter, he used to live in the old street, and his skills are good. Foxes scurrying in the woods, he can shoot them in the neck with an arrow. ”

"Me too, my dad always said that hunting is unstable, it is better to go mining, and he even has a hoe ready for me. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince becoming a lord, I'm afraid I would have to stay in the mine forever. ”

"I can see," Vader shrugged, and only the children of the Orion family would take such a strange nickname, "since I am from a small town, I am more concerned about the order of the town than I am an outsider, right?

"This ......," the two of them hesitated for a moment before they made up their minds, "and that's what you said." ”

"And Brother Vader, you're not an outsider, haven't you already got your ID card? His Highness said that those who got this card were his subjects. The whistle muttered.

Vader smiled, stopped talking, and continued to stare at the row of caves on the east side of the temporary settlement.

It's been almost three months since he became a police officer, and he's fully adapted to life in the West. Originally, I thought that the "patrol" that would not extort or defraud basically had nothing to do, but I didn't expect that the things that I had to be busy with every day would not be able to be done at all.

It takes the police to receive refugees, it takes the police to deal with civil disputes, and even the arrest of those vicious criminals and spies is actually the task of the police...... The First Army, on the other hand, does not seem to interfere with the security operations in the town at all, except for fighting the evil beasts.

It was a very different situation than he had originally envisioned.

In Golden Spike City, the patrol is almost a supplement to the city guard, taking on some dirty work, but not much benefit, which is why many members of the team are used to looking for extra windfalls. But in the border towns, the police and the First Army are more like disparate systems, the former internally and the latter externally.

What surprised Vader even more was that in addition to the direct designation of their superiors, their targets were more from the public - yes, the townspeople changed their minds about ordinary people, and these lazy and stupid people would take the initiative to keep an eye on those suspicious people and report them to the city hall. Whenever an alien merchant ship arrives in town, the Ministry of Justice receives five or six such reports.

Vader quickly realizes the power of thisβ€”no spy can be completely incommunicado with the outside world, or fully integrated into the natives of a place unless he grew up there. When everyone is on guard, what enemy can hide?

Of course, not every capture will be fruitful, like the sneaky people caught in the last attack, the result is actually the nobles of the dawn. Vader was ready to be punished, but the superiors did not react, seemingly ignoring his beating of the nobles, which strengthened his opinion.

"The gold has appeared!" the firehead whispered.

"Leave him alone, just pretend to be a snow sweeper," Vader said quietly, "he didn't bring any goods, he just came to investigate the situation." ”

Gold is the code name of the target of this arrest - the Ministry of Justice received a report two days ago that there were serfs smuggling grain, and Master Carter took this very seriously, and immediately handed over the task to him, demanding that the stolen goods be seized, and called it a gold hunt.

However, the mission did not go smoothly, and after some inquiry, they initially locked on the target, and five or six people took turns to monitor the temporary residence area for two days, but they did not even find any trace of the target.

Vader knew in his heart that the reason for the lack of progress was that the police uniforms were too conspicuous here. He had lived in the West End for quite some time, so he knew that as soon as a city hall official showed up, word would quickly spread through the crowd. The East End is no better, inhabited by serfs, and their black uniforms are as striking as fireflies in the night sky.

So he simply persuaded the fireheads and whistles to take off their uniforms, change into tattered coats, and disguise themselves as snowplows to block the main roads of the East End and the town. As long as there are suspicious people passing by, they will not escape their eyes.

After swaying around the eastern district, the gold returned to the cave, but when he reappeared, there was a large cloth bag behind him.

"He's really selling w......heat," whistle clenched his fists.

"Damn, I don't even take His Highness's words seriously," Huotou said indignantly, "Let's arrest him now!"

"Don't worry," Vader waved his hand, "Didn't Master Carter say that he wanted to get the stolen goods." We will divide into three groups," he commanded, as he had previously planned to contain the rats, "Firehead, you go now, and go to the area of the old city wall first. There was only one way for him to get into the inner city. ”

"Okay. ”

"Then I followed him – it took a certain amount of skill, so I was the best fit. He licked his lips, "Finally, the whistle, you are about a hundred paces away from me, keep an eye on it, and don't make contact with the gold." ”

"I see. ”

"Then let's get moving!"

Although the three of them were not superior or inferior, they still obeyed Vader's arrangement.

Vader picked up the broom and walked three or four steps in front of Kaneko's body in a hurry, according to past experience, it is easy to attract the vigilance of the target by following behind, but if he "leads" in front, it will greatly reduce the vigilance of the opponent. If you can roughly find out the area where the target wants to go, this kind of accompaniment is the safest. His attention was completely focused on the gold, and he was sure that he would pounce on the other party within a few breaths as soon as the sound of the other person's footsteps changed slightly.

After passing through the breach in the old wall, the gold stopped, leaning against the corner of the street to rest. Obviously, the other party also knows that if you go further to the center of the town, the chances of encountering the police will be greatly improved. Vader took a few dozen more steps forward, then turned into a fork in the road, waiting for the buyer to appear.

A short time later, a townsman pushing a cart appeared, and he looked to the right and left for a while before slowly coming to the serf's side. After opening the bag and inspecting it, the townsfolk pulled a handful of coins from their bosoms, and at the same time, Vader gestured to act.

The trio rushed to the target from three directions, and the trader was stunned and stood in place, bewildered.

Vader pushed the serf to the ground, and with the crunch of the coins dropping, he shouted, "You have been arrested!" (to be continued.) )
