For ordinary people in Nice, the attack on the Rock Church may be a major event, but it is only for the believers of the Rock Church, and in the eyes of the believers of other churches, this is just a post-dinner talk.
On the contrary, the murder of the Mossi Theater Company even more affected the hearts of these ordinary people. After the news spread, many people have begun to gather outside the Nice City Police Station, asking the police to investigate the matter, and there are also a large number of Nice City dignitaries. He sent his own messenger to the police station to meet with the chief to express his concern about the case.
The Mossi Theatre Company is a local theatre company in Nice. It was established 173 years ago. Its founder is extremely limited. It is one of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis War in Nice, Domingo Farms.
As the hub of the New World, the city of Nice has gathered a lot of wealth. Although no one has made statistics, there is a generally accepted rumor that the wealth of the city of Nice is equivalent to the sum of the wealth of the top ten powers in the New World.
It is precisely because of the great wealth that Nice City has mastered that the surrounding countries covet the city of Nice, and ultimately cannot bear the temptation of wealth. Several countries around Nice City decided to unite against Nice City, so it lasted for three years. The Acropolis War of Nice broke out in this way.
Because Nice City had already anticipated it in advance, it had accumulated a large amount of food and military supplies. Therefore, during the three years of war, Nice City’s logistics supply did not have any problems. The only trouble was the shortage of manpower and soldiers. It's hard to make up. In the latter part of the war, not only women were on the battlefield in Nice, but also the old and children were on the battlefield. Civilians and nobles protected each other, criminals and police detectives protected each other, and such things were seen everywhere.
During these three years of war, countless heroes emerged in Nice. Among them, there were twelve of the most famous heroes. These people were revered as twelve heroes after the war. Each hero has a huge statue. Towering on either side of the six gates of Nice City, they are admired by the world.
At the beginning of the outbreak of the Great Patriotic Battlefield, Domingo Farms and the Mosi troupe established by him were already the most famous troupe in the New World. Domingo is the recognized master of chants in the Old and New Continents. Even the gods can't help but listen to the song.
In the war, Domingo did not care about his status as a master of chants. He always took the lead and always fought with the enemy on the front line. He broke down the enemy's offensive countless times. With extraordinary attacks, his position rose all the way. Became one of the Governors of the Moat.
Later, at the height of the fighting, a serious loophole appeared in a city wall due to the negligence of the defenders at the time. Once the enemy discovered this loophole, the city defenses would inevitably be breached, and the entire defense line of Nice would collapse.
For this reason, Domingo used his special identity to lead a team of dead soldiers to raid the enemy's Chinese army positions, so as to attract the enemy's attention and buy enough time for the Nice defenders to repair the loopholes in the city wall, but he did so. He fell into the enemy line, and eventually all his men died, and he was captured personally.
When the enemy generals knew that he was the master of chanting, Domingo Farms, they did not kill him immediately. Instead, he cut off his limbs and made a frame to fix them. The officers and generals all found them, and then put Domingo, who had cut off his limbs, to the front of the army, under the walls of Nice, and forced Domingo to sing chants, hoping to hit the morale of the defenders of Nice.
However, at that time, Domingo Farms did not sing his best chants according to the ideas of the enemy generals. Instead, he resisted the pain of his body and sang a song of him with a sound that was perfect as the sound of nature. A song written on the battlefield. This song not only did not make the morale of the defenders of the city down, but made them high-spirited. Then when the enemy sent people out to stop him, he was under everyone’s attention, Exerting an unknown mysterious magic technique, attracting the power of punishment from several gods, directly blasting himself and all the enemies around him.
Because the people who died with Domingo due to the power of divine punishment and almost all the high-ranking generals of the local coalition army, the generals in the city of Nice immediately led the best soldiers to launch a counterattack, and the local command was full. The army was annihilated, no one commanded, like scattered sand, was beaten to death and wounded.
Although this time did not completely solve the coalition forces that were besieged, it also caused great damage to the coalition forces. This incident can also be said to be a turning point in the Acropolis War of Nice. The subsequent war has become a war of attrition. Beware. There has not been a threatening siege.
After the war, Domingo Farms was revered as one of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis, and the song he sang before his death, which had no name, was also given a name, Nisyon Don’t fall, it became the city’s song of Nice, and when creating the statue for Domingo, the master craftsman responsible for this did not shape Domingo’s complete body, but instead shaped his limbs cut off before his death. The image of, so that the people of Nice will always remember the suffering of Domingo for the city of Nice.
Also because of Domingo Farms, the Moshi Theater Company he established has also received special attention in Nice. It not only has the privileges that other theater companies do not have, but also in the subsequent establishment of the Theater Association. Little power, and almost all the scripts written by Nice City playwrights are first performed by the Mossy Theater Company before being handed over to other theater companies. This makes the Mossy Theater Company a lot in Nice City and even the entire New World. prestige.
Today, such a well-known and special troupe has been slaughtered, from the director and manager of the troupe to the new actors who have just joined the troupe. Anyone who is in the troupe is killed without exception. Only a few actors and actresses who were not in the troupe because they dated some powerful figures in the city were spared, and they were immediately protected by the police after the incident.
"Please rest assured, everyone, please trust our agents, they will find out the real culprit of the cruel slaughter of the Moshi troupe immediately and give an explanation to all the people in Nice." The chief of the police station stood on a temporary podium set up outside the police station gate. After answering a few questions from reporters, I formally expressed to the people gathered around that they would take this case seriously and promised to find out the real culprit as soon as possible.
After finishing this speech, the chief of the police station returned to his office, but at this time he did not appear to be as steady as he was outside. It seemed to be cursing a dead enemy, but it was strange that the object of his curse was not the murderer of the Moshi Troupe, but the Moshi Troupe, the victim of this incident.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the police chief immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his excitement, and said, "Come in."
As his voice fell, a police officer in the costume of a high-level detective came in, then closed the door and bowed to the chief of the police, saying: "The things you ordered have been done. The scene has been completely sealed off. People who have been in contact have all given the password, and a separate area is not allowed to leave. The other survivors of the Moshi troupe have also been detained and are undergoing special interrogation. The results will probably be available tonight."
"Very good!" The chief of the police breathed a sigh of relief, nodded approvingly, and then thought about it seriously, and said: "You go to the church district immediately, contact the heretical punishment department over there, and ask them to send someone to assist in the investigation. The matter is obviously related to the heretical gods, and they have been hidden for so many years. They also bear an inescapable responsibility and are obliged to help us solve this matter."
"Yes." The police officer asked the Chief of Police to sign an appointment order, and then left the office with the appointment order.
Not long after the police officer left, someone knocked on the door of the room again, and after the chief of the police responded, a man wearing a housekeeper's costume walked in.
"Butler Langley, why are you here?" Seeing this butler, the chief of the police station quickly stood up and asked.
The butler saluted the police chief and said, "The master asked me to invite you to the mansion."
The police chief frowned and asked, "It's for the Moshi Theater."
The butler nodded and said, "The others are also in the mansion now. They have some questions that need to be asked by you."
The police chief hesitated for a moment, then he nodded to the butler, turned around and picked up the jacket, left with the butler, and boarded the carriage waiting outside the side door of the police station.
The carriage passed through half of the city of Nice and entered the urban area on the side of the city where a large number of luxurious mansions were built. This area used to be called the golden area, because the World Bank of Nice was once located here, and the bank’s large vault was also it's here.
However, the Nice World Bank went bankrupt and its business was divided into seven small banks. The bank headquarters and treasury were naturally moved to other places. This place was bought by real estate developers to build luxury houses because the name of the golden area was too vulgar. So, after the construction of this area was completed, some people wanted to change the name of the city, but there was never a suitable name, and things got off the ground. In the end, there is still no official name.
However, because the people who live here are the richest and most powerful people in Nice, this area is also called the district of power.
After the carriage drove into the noble area, it crossed several relatively quiet avenues and came to the gate of a rather luxurious manor.
Every inch of land in the city of Nice is gold. There are only a handful of mansions in Nice like this. From the golden shield badge at the gate of the manor, it can be seen that this mansion belongs to the descendants of one of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis War.
The carriage stopped outside the door, and the attendant at the door stepped forward and opened the door. The butler and the police chief got out of the carriage, without saying anything, and walked straight into the mansion.
Under the leadership of the butler, the two quickly arrived at the small conference room on the side of the main house of the mansion. After the butler opened the door, the police chief entered the house, and the butler closed the door.
I saw six people sitting in this room. Two of them were very young and only in their twenties. The other four were elderly. Among the two young people, one of them looked similar to the portrait on the wall of the room. , Should be the owner of this mansion, and it is worth noting that these six people are all wearing a blood red ceremonial ribbon, which means that the six are the descendants of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis.
Although only four of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis survived that year, six of them left their descendants. The others either had no descendants or were church knights.
Although the descendants of the six heroes of the Acropolis did not hold too important positions in the city council and government of Nice, most of them were just false titles, but the chambers of commerce under their names accounted for 70% of the business share of the Acropolis. This allows them to still have a great influence in the city of Nice, and they can even decide who can become the speaker of the parliament.
After seeing the six people, the police chief immediately saluted them respectfully, and then stood straight in front of them, waiting for their questioning.
An old man among the six asked in a deep voice: "I just heard about the Moshi Troupe. Before I felt sad for it, my people sent another message about the Moshi Troupe. The news made me very angry, I want to confirm, is that true? Is the stuff in the basement true?"
"Yes." The chief of police knew very well that you should never lie at this time, and you should just answer honestly. So he told the report he had seen: "There is no accurate figure yet, but only from Judging from the bones found on the surface, there are nearly two hundred. A passageway was found in the basement, which should lead to a larger secret room. There are more bones in it. All the bones are children, none of them. Adults. We suspect..." As he said, he hesitated and continued: "We suspect that these bones are the missing cases of children that have not been detected over the years. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
Hearing this, the six people present showed angry expressions on their faces. A few of them were even more angry and their hands were shaking. The reason why they were so angry was not only because of the missing and murdered children, but more importantly. What's more, there are children in their family who are on the missing list, and there are many brothers and sisters who are very close to them. This is also their heart for many years.
The city of Nice is a city with a very large population. There are many people in the city. Missing children happen almost every day. It is generally considered to be kidnapped. Investigations are often inconclusive, like the heroes of the Acropolis. The disappearance of the family members, even if the investigation is carried out by various methods, there is still no result, most of them believe that the enemies of the heroes of the Acropolis, such as those in the Confederate countries back then.
However, now they discovered that the source of the missing children was in the city, and it was also related to the Twelve Heroes of the Acropolis. How could this keep them from feeling angry.
The owner of the mansion quickly calmed down and gritted his teeth and said: "We will grant you the greatest investigative power, and our people will cooperate with you in the investigation. We only have one request. We must thoroughly investigate this matter. No one can Let it go."
