It occurred to Loki that Ike Arbeiter might be in trouble with Leah again. Loki said to Lawrence, "Where's the prison? Let's go see Leah. " Laurence didn't say anything else and pulled Roche away.
The prison was located at the edge of the town's army. There were six people standing guard at the entrance. There were also guards on the high city walls. From time to time, there were even patrols. Laurence hastily went to the head of the garrison and said, "I heard that you caught a young lady today, saying that she is the criminal who killed the overseer. Can we see her? "
The guard replied seriously, "No, I want to see the paperwork." Laurence handed over a gold coin. "It won't take long to meet her. We won't make things difficult for you." The guard accepted Laurence's gold coins and became polite as he said, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you guys, because the one who died was the supervisor. Not only were the inspectors sent from the city, they also had a good relationship with the mayor. The mayor had told him to keep a tight watch. It's hard for me to do it, too. "
Loki saw the guard take the money and refused to come in, and he wanted to do it. Laurence stopped Loki and said, "Let's go see the mayor. Although I know him, I'm not very familiar with him either. I wonder if he will help us. " Laurence sighed again and whispered, "It's going to cost you another fortune."
Just like this, Loki and Laurence rushed toward the City Lord's Mansion. Through the guard at the door, they were shown into a back garden. Not long after, the mayor came out. The city lord was called Yi Yaro, and he was a bit short. He had a fat head and big ears, and he was covered in precious treasures. He had a kind smile on his face.
When the mayor, Ian Yarrow, saw Laurence, he greeted him first, "Laurence, you haven't seen me for more than a month. How come you're free to see me today?" "Sir Ian Yarrow, this is a token of my appreciation," Laurence said, trying to please him. Laurence took out a small bag of jewelry and gave it to Ian Yarrow.
Ian Yarrow put the jewelry away and smiled. "Laurence, you're too polite." Laurence continued, "My lord, I'm here because of my young lady. I heard that she is suspected of being the murderer of the censor. Do you think this is a misunderstanding? "
Ian Yarrow put away his smile and said seriously, "The overseer was sent by the imperial capital. Even I can't handle what happened to him." I'll do anything I can for you, and I can't make any decisions about it. Someone testified that in the hotel Leah had told the censor to keep pestering him and she would kill her. Besides, I saw her kill the Warden. " Then, he let out a long sigh to express his helplessness.
Loki said, "Then can we see her?" Ian Yarrow said, "She's a felon. If you see her and get caught, I'm not going to get away with it. "In a few days, I'll help you think of a way." Laurence nodded in understanding, so they wouldn't be able to convince Ian Yarrow.
On the way back, Laurence said to Loki, "How much certainty do we have in taking him out?" Loki replied, "I can do it alone, but I can't get rid of it. Let's not rush. The main thing is that we need to know if Leah killed someone. If she did, we'd have to rob her. If not, let's find a way to get out of it. The main thing now is to see Leah first. " After saying that, Loki told Laurence about his plan in a low voice.
They were back at the gate of the prison, but Laurence was the only one there to talk to the guards. Loki bought some equipment along the way and was planning to sneak into the prison. Laurence was responsible for holding the guard's attention. Roche climbed a tree closest to the wall, changed into black clothes, covered his face with a black cloth, and tied one end of the rope to the tree. Luo Qi originally wanted to use a metal hook, but there were no such things in this continent's smithy.
Loki meowed. Laurence coughed loudly when he heard the cat. Loki swung the iron bar so it was stuck in a corner of the wall. The clanging of iron rods against the walls was drowned out by Laurence's coughing. Loki slid down the rope to the top of the wall.
The prison was divided into three levels. There was an open space in the middle, and the cells around it were surrounded by empty space. There were only four guards in the clearing, each looking at the cell they were responsible for. Loki moved his feet silently. He didn't know where Liya was locked up. Loki looked around and found that the prisoners on the first floor were all male prisoners, the second floor had female prisoners, and the third floor had single rooms. Loki remembered that the mayor had said Leah was a felon, and Leah was a nobleman. So Loki planned to lock on to the third floor. Loki slid down the wall to the third floor, where there were two guards.
They were on the opposite side. This made it difficult for Lodge. Once he took one, he would be discovered by the other. Luo Qi thought for a moment, then took out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it towards a dot. The sound caught the attention of the two guards, but they did not move. Instead, they watched the source of the sound warily. Loki cursed under his breath and tossed another copper coin over.
The two guardians finally moved together as Loki had hoped. Loki moved as fast as he could behind them, then knocked their heads out two guards. Then Loki began to search for Leah. The door to the cell was an iron door, and only a small rectangular window allowed a view of the inside.
Luo Qi checked the rooms one by one. The environment inside made him less worried. There was a bed, a table, and a chair inside. These items were all relatively good and the cell was especially clean. There was not a single trace of odour in the room. It seemed that these were all noble prisoners. At last Loki found Leah, sitting on the bed with her side to the window, holding a man's robe in her hand. Loki didn't dare break the lock for fear of making a sound. After all, there were guards on the second floor. He burned the lock with a fireball and opened the door.
Leah saw someone come in, hid her robe behind her back, and looked at him in horror. She was about to shout when she saw a man in black walking toward her. Loki saw something was wrong with her and quickly covered Leah's mouth with one hand and grabbed his mask with the other.
"Rocky took me out. I don't want to stay here any longer. I didn't kill Ike Arbeiter." Loki patted Lia on the back to comfort her, "Lia, don't be nervous. I'll help you get rid of those crimes before you kill anyone. Even if it was you who killed him, I would have saved your life. Tell me how Ike Arbeiter died. "
