Chapter 431: Chapter 357, Controlling Spouse (One update today.)_3
Xi Ligui’s footsteps lightly tapped, and his figure turned into a black shadow that shot out, knocking the dwarf flying once again.
The longsword was pressed against the throat.
“Dammit! I, I give up,” coughed the dwarf, speaking loudly.
The equipment on his body was removed.
The person was also detained by the squad members.
“Disperse the crowd, organize personnel to put out the fire, one squad come with me to bring the person back,” Xi Ligui ordered again.
“Yes!”
One squad left with the captive, while the rest began organizing people to put out the fire.
…
In the dim cell.
Imilo, Moya, Kalemah, and two investigators came down from upstairs.
Wu Heng stepped forward and recounted the recent events.
The group’s gaze also fell on the dwarf in the dungeon.
The dwarf flipped over to sit up, his eyes looking outside.
“Hmph, coming to see your daddy? I have the right to come and go from the island freely, you’ve captured me for no reason, I will report you to the association,” the dwarf shouted loudly.
He had already confessed on the ship, but as soon as he arrived at the association’s dungeon, he immediately recanted.
Wu Heng glanced to the side.
Imilo, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke directly, “Kill him and question the corpse!”
Clearly, this matter had exhausted his patience.
Hearing these words, the dwarf’s face instantly changed, saying, “Imilo, are you mad? The association doesn’t allow the murder of innocents.”
“Kill him!” Imilo said directly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Several arrows flew through the iron bars.
In an instant, they pierced through the dwarf’s body, who fell to the ground with a face full of shock and fear.
Wu Heng immediately cast “Communicate with the dead,” and the corpse sat up from the ground.
“Who killed the Stag Manager four days ago?” Wu Heng asked.
“Me!”
“How did you carry out the killing?” Wu Heng continued to ask.
The corpse answered, “I manipulated three puppets to imitate your appearance and killed the target.”
With this questioning, the entire world’s threads became completely clear.
The reason there were three people.
It was actually the dwarf controlling three puppets, imitating Wu Heng and the skeleton attendant’s appearance.
And since the lighting was dim at the time, it was very difficult for the corpse to discern more clues before death.
It was easily directed towards the only Necromancer of the Gold and Silver Island Association.
In the investigation, the footprint of a single person that Xi Ligui mentioned, with a smaller size, was also because the dwarf retracted the puppets and escaped alone.
It was all the dwarf’s doing, but the direction of the investigation was always towards three people.
The investigators behind him kept recording non-stop.
Wu Heng continued to ask, “Why frame me?”
The dwarf answered, “Ewald promised to give me a sum of money.”
“How did he speak to you?”
“He told me to imitate your form, and I didn’t have to worry about the rest.”
The last question.
Wu Heng thought for a moment before continuing to ask, “Reveal the full identity of this ‘Ewald.'”
“Ewald, captain of the Oruchi.”
After answering the final question, the corpse collapsed back onto the floor with a bang.
…
The dungeon fell quiet once more.
Imilo spoke directly, “Inform the port, the Oruchi cargo ship is not to leave the post, search for this ‘Ewald.'”
“Yes!” everyone nodded.
“Imilo, you should pay more attention to Gold and Silver Island, these people even conspired against the Deputy Steward,” Inspector Special Envoy Kalemah said with a smile.
Imilo nodded, “I was only focused on the affairs of the pirates before. It seems I really should manage local security.”
Kalemah continued looking at Wu Heng, saying, “The investigation has been clarified, and effective immediately, Wu Heng’s position as Deputy Steward is restored.”
“Thank you!” Wu Heng expressed his thanks in a formal gesture.
“It was me who suspended you, carrying some professional prejudice, Deputy Steward Wu Heng, I hope you don’t hold it against me,” Kalemah said with a sigh.
“How could I, we all act according to procedure.”
“Hmm!” Kalemah nodded and left with Imilo towards the outside.
…
Wu Heng and Xi Ligui followed from behind.
Xi Ligui said, “This Kalemah isn’t so bad after all, he even apologized to you.”
“Yes!”
