A group of people rushed to the Mutton Tavern, and quickly obtained the specific location of Mans's residence through inquiries.

"I'll go in first to investigate the situation, and you guys enter through the main entrance afterwards; also, Asha, keep an eye on Lightning and Maggie, don't let them in," Nightingale instructed, then unfolded the Mist and disappeared directly in front of everyone. In the black and white world, the lines that made up the contours of all things twisted, and she easily found the nonexistent gap in the wall, and jumped through it.

The furnishings in the house were very simple, not much better than Iron Shovel's home, it seemed that Mans's life had been quite strained since losing his job as a patrolman. The field of vision was clear, proving that there were no annoying God's Stone of Retaliation nearby, and Nightingale quickly found the target in the bedroom - a man was curled up in the bed, fast asleep, and there were still patches of blood on the cuffs of the coat hanging on the bed frame.

Nightingale returned to the living room, opened the door, and the police swarmed in, pressed Mans, who had just been awakened from the bed, back into the bed, and then tied him up firmly.

"You, who are you... let me go!" he shouted in horror.

"You're under arrest for multiple counts of murder, Mans!" Rennes stepped forward and slapped him twice, silencing him instantly, "You actually dared to go against His Highness the Prince, it's too good for you to be hanged at the city gate!"

"I... I didn't..."

"Didn't?" Earl Elkhound replaced the slaps with fists, accompanied by two muffled sounds, Mans opened his mouth painfully, his mouth was full of blood, and one of his front teeth was missing, "We saw your murder process last night, using Dream Water to stun Iron Shovel, not wanting to get blood on yourself, strangling him first and then slitting his throat, quite a set!"

"..." Mans's eyes revealed disbelief and deep fear.

"Killing the rats who reported for work, drawing a crossed crown with blood... who ordered this?" Nightingale picked up a glass bottle from the bedside, which contained half a bottle of light blue liquid, "Dream Water is not cheap, and after the rat gang was wiped out, it won't be easy to buy this kind of thing again."

"I..."

"If you honestly confess, maybe there's a way out," Rennes cracked his knuckles, "otherwise I'll let you taste the anger of a nobleman."

Nightingale didn't stop him, even though she knew Earl Elkhound was lying. As His Highness said, the safety of the territory is the most important thing, and those who destroy it should be taught a lesson.

Mans was still hesitating when the fist fell on him again.

This time it was the abdomen and ribs, Rennes, who had received knight training, was very precise in his control of strength, able to make the target suffer unspeakable pain without causing fatal injuries.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, sir, please spare me! It was... a guy from the inner city who told me to do this! For every person I killed, he would give me four gold dragons as a reward, and said that in this way, the people would resent the police, feel that these black zhifu are completely unable to protect everyone, and the patrol team can be rebuilt!"

Mans collapsed, he was not a person with a firm will, or rather, those with a firm will would not serve as a patrolman who plundered others, nor would they take four lives for the reward of a few gold dragons. Nightingale thought, perhaps before he did it, he never thought that he would be targeted by the Ministry of Justice so quickly, let alone that in just four days, someone could drag him out of a city with a population of 20,000.

He confessed the whole story while crying, blood and snot all over his collar.

"I don't even know how he found me, the first time we met was in a tavern, he gave me this bottle of Dream Water, saying that as long as I did what he said, I could get a lot of money. At that time, I had no savings, and the police force did not accept my application, so I hated it in my heart and... I did it."

"The police will never accept scum like you," Rennes spat.

"Do you know that person's name or identity?" Nightingale asked.

"I... I don't know."

"You're lying."

"I really don't know!"

Nightingale looked at Rennes, who immediately understood, raised his hand and punched him a few more times, "This sir is a witch, her ability is to distinguish lies, lying in front of her, I think you're tired of living! Don't challenge our patience!"

"No, sir, I'm just... just not sure," Mans cried out twice, "because he never told me his name and identity!"

"What do you mean by not sure?"

"I also wondered why he was so generous, he didn't look like a nobleman, when we met two days ago, he came in a hurry, and his clothes were a bit strange, like he was wearing another coat on top of his coat." He gasped, "And the one inside seemed to be a zhifu, I also saw a flower-shaped emblem on his collar."

"Flower emblem?" Nightingale and Rennes exchanged glances, "The emblem of the Honeysuckle family?"

"That's why I'm not sure, everyone knows that the Helmond family is a supporter of the lord, how could they secretly oppose Wimbledon." Mans lowered his head and said.

"Pero is definitely not such a person, someone else must be playing tricks," Rennes said affirmatively, "Anyway, they meet every day, why don't we set a trap and let that guy get in."

It seemed that this was the only way, instead of guessing randomly, it would be better to capture the other party in one fell swoop when Mans "demanded a reward", and everything would be clear. Nightingale nodded, but she always felt that she had overlooked something.

The other party was not lying, and the information was all true, what was wrong?

"Sister Nightingale, are you guys done yet?" Lightning shouted outside the door.

"The meeting is almost over goo, we have to go back goo!"

Considering that there would inevitably be some rough movements during the arrest, she specifically left the three of them outside. Hearing the word meeting in Maggie's mouth, Nightingale's mind buzzed.

Wait! His Highness is in the hall with the nobles, discussing the establishment of a new city hall!

This meant that there were no guards by his side, and the closest ones were outside the hall.

If this person was really a member of the Honeysuckle family, he would definitely be able to enter the castle and the first floor hall without being blocked, but he would definitely not be able to step on the second and third floors that belonged exclusively to His Highness - and she happened to not be by Roland's side!

"Lightning!" Nightingale no longer cared about Earl Elkhound and Mans and others, rushed out of the house, grabbed Lightning's shoulder and said loudly, "Take me back to the castle quickly, His Highness may be in danger!"

"Ah? Okay... hold on to me," the latter was extremely surprised, but didn't ask any more questions, but directly carried Nightingale on her back, and flew straight towards the castle area - when carrying a load, Lightning's altitude would drop sharply, but the speed could still be maintained at about 100 kilometers per hour, flying over the street, it would only take half a minute to reach the destination.

Nightingale hoped she was thinking too much, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. The murder started three days ago, and that was exactly the day Pero's letter of request for help arrived in the Border Town. If the other party's real purpose was to use these cases to attract everyone's attention and lure her away from Roland, then it would be too bad.

Approaching the castle, Nightingale entered the Mist, jumped into the hall from mid-air, and her heart sank to the bottom. She saw that the conference room was in a mess, the nobles seemed to be extremely frightened, all leaning against the wall and talking, the guards were sealing off the scene, the main seat on the long table that should have belonged to Roland was empty, one person was lying on the ground, his life or death was unknown, and the darkness of the God's Stone of Retaliation covered his body.
