Duke of Grief

"Miss Edith, Miss Edith..."

The grain merchant who was put on trial saw Edith walk into the interrogation room and stood up hurriedly, but then the policeman behind him sat on the chair on his shoulders.

The grain merchant turned his head in panic and glanced at the policeman behind him, and then hurriedly turned back, yelling: "I don't know what's going on, I really don't know what's going on! I've checked it, and the grain It was also acquired from different places, I really don’t know what’s going on!"

After Edith pulled away her chair and sat down, she picked up the information on the table and glanced at it, "Mr. Duncan, please calm down first. We already know about this matter. Check what happened, and it wasn’t just you who happened this time, you were the first to be arraigned, so please relax a little so that we can learn more...Calm down, okay?"

After finishing speaking, Edith looked up and saw that the dark-skinned food merchant was sweating, his face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and his fists were clenched on the baffle of the interrogation chair.

After noticing the sight of'Miss Edith', the grain merchant swallowed her saliva, nodded nervously, and responded with a slightly trembling voice: "Well! Okay!"

"Then Mr. Duncan, let's get started. I ask, you answer, okay?" Edith asked softly, trying to relieve the food merchant's nervousness.

Once a person is nervous, the brain may skip many things subconsciously, the more nervous the mind will only be more chaotic, which is not conducive to interrogation.

"Good, good..."

Following Edith's instructions, Duncan took a few deep breaths, and soon his tight face relaxed.

"Although someone has asked it before, I need to ask it again."

Fakely looking at the information in her hand, Edith raised her eyes unscrupulously and peeked a few times to observe the food merchant's reaction.

After hearing Edith's words, Duncan's heart tightened again, and his mouth was pursed.

This time, Edith did not remind him to let him relax, but asked in a casual tone: "Mr. Duncan, where is the main source of the food you bought?"

"Principality of Leipter and Principality of White Rose!"

As soon as Edith’s words fell, the grain merchant hurriedly answered: "Because the land there is fertile, there are few disaster years, and it can produce a lot of high-quality grain, but the surrounding countries do not need it, so we often ship grain to Sell ​​in the North!"

After talking about it, Duncan thought about it again, and then hurriedly added: "We will also take some samples for food when we buy food. There is no good name in the food business. No one can do it. We dare not smash our own signboard. ! Miss Edith, I really don’t know what happened!"

"Mr. Duncan, calm down first!"

Edith frowned impatiently. Seeing this, Duncan's lips whispered and he closed his mouth silently.

With her lips sullied, Edith cleared her throat and continued to ask: "The next question is whether you have encountered any suspicious person on the road-not only outside the country, but also inside the country."

The grain merchant's mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to answer immediately, but after seeing the dignified expression on Edith's face, he hesitated, thought a little, then shook his head again, "No, absolutely not! The grain needs to be kept safe Otherwise, if there is damage on the way to transport, then we will lose a lot. We also think that the winter has passed, and the food that people stock should consume is almost the same, so we rushed here to sell it. Spring to save food If it’s difficult, it’s easy to get moldy, so I need stricter care. I basically manage this along the way. If there is a suspicious person, I should have an impression.”

‘There should be’…Is it not?

After a moment of meditation, Edith turned to look up, only to find that the grain merchant was looking at himself nervously, and he smiled slightly, "Sorry, I just left."

"Huh..." The grain merchant sighed with relief, and then a reluctant smile hung on his face.

"Then next is the third question..."

After glancing down, Edith smiled at the grain merchant again, "Mr. Duncan, are you connected with other grain merchants?"

A flash of lightning crossed his brain, and Duncan instantly understood what the lady wanted to ask, and was about to deny it, but suddenly, he closed his mouth again.

As a food merchant, there is no connection with other food merchants.

He wanted to clear his relationship with this matter, but since they came together, if he denies it, it will only increase his suspicion.

After a moment of contemplation, Duncan nodded, "Yes, Miss Edith, I did have contact with them before, but it was only a contact! After all, if our food merchants are not in contact with each other, it is very likely that It’s easy to get a hatred with someone who ran white, or robbed another person’s acquisition opportunity, so there are often some connections between us, but not many.”

It seemed that it was under the influence of Edith, and Duncan relaxed a little bit.

There is a connection with each other, but it is not clear. This point is also mentioned in the record, which is said by other food merchants.

Edith nodded slightly, her index finger began to gently rub against the table, the interrogation room quickly became quiet, and the originally anxious food merchant was also immersed in this little silence.

Even though he is still anxious in his heart, the last thing he should do is to disturb the girl in front of him.

This girl is the younger sister of the Black Dragon Duke, the second most powerful person in the Principality, even the Black Dragon Duke must be behind her...

This may be unthinkable, but they are already familiar with those who often travel to the Principality of the mourning wind. If the Black Dragon Grand Duke is in power one day, they need to consider whether they want to leave here.

This young lady, or the teacher of'Princess Long', is the famous maidservant of Serena, so they are not worried about any'misjudgment' of this young lady.

As long as they are conscientious and think they have done nothing bad, they don’t have to worry about things like “misjudgments” that often appear elsewhere.

"...Mr. Duncan, thank you for your cooperation."

Edith pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Duncan, because you are still a suspect, we can’t let you out so quickly, but from now on, we will allow other people to visit you, if there are any arrangements under your opponent If you are ready, you will be ready now, and we will not be monitored. Here again, thank you for your cooperation, well, take Mr. Duncan out!"

This, this is over?

Duncan froze slightly, and waited until the police opened the shutter in front of him before he recovered.

"Thank you Miss Edith, thank you very much!" Grain merchants beamed and thanked.

Edith smiled and waved, asking the police to take him out, and then bring the next person in.

After the door of the interrogation room was closed, the smile on Edith's face slowly faded, and his eyes were fixed on the document in front of him.

In terms of information, Duncan was one of the earliest food merchants to be ruled out of suspicion, but he still needs to review him in order to make a full set of plays.

Grain merchants set off from all parts of the mainland and gathered in the tragic country. No one knows when the food they delivered had a problem.

In addition to strict management, the grain merchants also have considerable armed forces in their hands~www.wuxiaspot.com~After all, they are transporting grain, whatever they like.

Not to mention the robbers, even the army of the nobles will pretend to be robbers and stop the robbery. If you don't have the skills, this line will not last long. Even Duncan just now was not as afraid as he seemed.

The thing that puzzled Edith most was not when the food went wrong, but ‘why did it go wrong’.

As we all know, the Duchy of Winds is the first country to develop an antidote to plague, so why did the plague church do this?

Judging from the situation that the plague has been brought under control, the plague church can not only create panic, but also create chaos. If there is no foreign food, they can go to the Black Forest to hunt...

So, what exactly does the Plague Church do?

Edith was thinking, and the sound of the door opening sounded in her ear. She looked up, and another suspect was brought in.

The suspect's face was also filled with panic...
