Chapter 91: Not enough evidence

"Extra! Extraordinary! A major criminal case broke out! The masked butcher comes to Novigrad!"
　　 Newsboy trot down the street with a newspaper.
　　 "One copy."
　　 Li Nuo gave a copper plate. In fact, he didn't know if it was a copper plate. The newspaper should be cheap anyway.
　　 "Sir, are you bullying me that I haven't read a book, five copper plates."
　　 Li Nuo added four, 50 cents is a normal price.
　　 Before opening the inner pages, I saw a big round head drawn on the front page of the newspaper.
"Mask butcher, the number one culprit who has caused many vicious incidents recently, wearing a weird mask, wearing a black shabby windbreaker, holding a bladed whip, is about five feet eight inches tall, and has a weak physique. If a suspicious person is found, Please contact the police station quickly, if the information is true and useful, 100 krms will be awarded."
　　 Li Nuo sighed in his heart: "My intelligence can be worth the income of a well-off family for two months, which is quite expensive."
　　 He looked down and there was nothing left. There was only so much written in the newspaper, and there was no record of all the good things he had done.
　　 "Strange...Even if the incident in the brothel was not reported yesterday, but even Heatherton and the Philip's family were not included. Is it to not cause panic..."
　　 Before he knew it, he had already acquiesced that he was a terrorist.
　　 I read the newspaper for a while. It was almost all trivial matters in the Nifogadian Empire. Li Nuo didn't know anything about contemporary industry, magical energy, and so on, so he read it as a cyberpunk-style novel daily.
　　 Until he heard the sound of horses' hoofs getting closer, Li Nuo reached out and hit one.
　　 In this era, the scooter that travels in the city can accommodate up to six people. The passengers tell the location where they want to go and charge according to the distance.
　　 After getting in the car, Li Nuo found that the men and women around him were reading the newspaper. They were paying attention to the urban construction and the economic situation, but no one seemed to pay attention to the "mask butcher" on the front page.
　　 Li Nuo put the newspaper on his head, slandering in his heart, it seems that people in this era are tired enough.
　　……
　　 "Why doesn't the government publish the true appearance of the mask butcher as soon as possible?"
　　 The blond Doss threw today's newspaper on the table and questioned the old man sitting behind the table.
　　 "Mr. Charles, stay calm." The old man took a small mirror and looked at his face, and from time to time he lowered his mouth to look between his teeth.
　　Doss took a deep breath, "Mr. Cohen, with all due respect, you, as one of the church agents, must take adequate precautions against dangerous people like masked butchers."
Cohen lowered the mirror and raised his eyebrows. "You should understand that due to the special nature of the "Happy House", the church is not convenient to make a face-to-face treatment. The government and the nobles also need some necessary procedures to communicate, which consumes time. It is inevitable."
　　 "But I already told you what he looks like!" Doss said angrily.
"Looks?" Cohen smiled, "Although your duty is to manage the order of the Happy House, don't forget, you are just a guard, your language is not convincing, and the police station will only take your words as One of the testimonies is that what the government needs to issue a wanted order that can be published in the newspaper is a complete chain of evidence, and we need more direct evidence."
Doss said unwillingly: "Two people disappeared after the accident at night. One attacked Mr. Hawthorne, and the other was the person who was walking with the attacker, and Verne, the butler of the "Happy House", described that the fellow It looks basically the same as the person in my portrait. Can't this be used as witness evidence!"
　　 "But this cannot be used as proof that he is a masked butcher." Cohen replied indifferently.
　　 "There is another prostitute, she must know something!" Doss frowned slightly, and his patience was almost reaching the critical point.
"Prostitute... let me think about it, it's the woman named Rezena." Cohen pursed his lower lip and said immediately: "The woman said that she spent an unforgettable night with her guests, but because she was too tired, So I fell asleep."
　　 "She must have concealed something. The key is on her. How could that guest be able to get out of the room without the key." Doss continued to ask.
Cohen smiled and shook his head, "But the room was not locked, and the woman was punished to a certain extent. Don't forget that no prostitute in the "Happy House" dared to lie unless they tried to die. feel."
Doss banged his fist on the table angrily, and said angrily: "Don't be kidding! The target of the mask butcher is the female night demon, but why does he want to kill the female night demon! And no one has paid attention to the eyes of the fellow guest, Amber Color! Demon Hunter!"
Cohen shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Mr. Charles, you are here again. According to what you said, the demon hunter who was extinct a hundred years ago came to Novig with a new cane weapon under development by the church. How is this possible for Rui to do such a big thing."
　　 "But it's true!"
"enough!"
　　 Cohen stared at Doss sharply, and said in a calm manner: "You are just a good external hire. Do your job well and don't cross the line."
　　 Facing Cohen's attitude, Doss gritted his teeth, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.
Cohen leaned on the back of his chair and said calmly: "Mr. Hawthorne is attacked, and the gang will not stop there. The face of the masked butcher you portrayed has been printed on the underground wanted order. It is estimated that it will be in the Nanjiexiang area in two days After spreading it, within three or five days, the news will spread throughout Novigrad, and you will wait quietly. Go out first."
　　 Dos picked up the newspaper on the table and left, suffocating, and walking outside the room, he saw Joa leaning against the wall.
　　 "It seems that the negotiation failed."
　　 Dos did not speak, and walked past her emotionally.
　　 Qiaoya whispered: "The stolen property of Philip's house was discovered this morning."
　　 "What?" Doss looked back.
　　 "There is a kid in a grocery store in the Folia district, and he exchanges some expensive items for money. This grocery store happens to be a branch of Philip Business."
　　 "Where is that kid?"
　　 Qiaoya shrugged, "Let the kid go with the money first, and someone has been arranged to follow him secretly. According to his dress, it should be in the Nanjiexiang District."
　　 Doss gradually narrowed his eyes and looked at the portrait of the butcher with the newspaper mask in his hand, "Joya, let's go too."
　　 As he said, he gathered the newspaper into a ball and threw it out the window.
　　 The newspaper fell three stories and fell on the head of an unlucky guy who had just passed by.
　　 "I really have no morals..."
　　 Li Nuo touched his head. If it were a flowerpot, it would be a disaster.
　　 He looked at the window where the paper ball fell, and then looked at the words on the door of the building.
　　 "The Healing Church Lecture Academy."
　　 Li Nuo suddenly felt aroused, isn't this the healing church from "The Curse of Blood".
　　 No, he must not have any contact with this game, and the desire to survive told him to leave here immediately.
　　 "Let the carriage turn around and stop if I knew it, at least I don't need to see such a sign of healing the church."
After 　　, he continued to walk for a few minutes. After crossing a street, Li Nuo found No. 27 Xianghua Street, and knocked on the door.
