Chapter 10 Arrest
Chapter 10
The middle-aged man was wearing a gray coat. Even if he really stole the other party's wallet and was covered by the coat, it was difficult to see his hands from the perspective of Telligan and Ender.
Anyway, even if Trigan was paying attention, he didn't notice anything wrong with the middle-aged man.
Trigan stared at it and found nothing, but Ender even said the color of the stolen wallet. So how did he see it? Is it true or false?
Telligan was not in a hurry to arrest the middle-aged man, but turned his head to look at Ender and waited for him to explain to himself.
"When he stole the purse just now, it wasn't the purse exposed from the gap in his clothes?" Ander was also very surprised. He clearly said that it was a pickpocket, and Uncle Trigan was also staring in that direction. He should have seen it too?
Although the middle-aged man just now had a clever move and could also cover up wearing a coat, he still drove the coat to reveal a gap that was wide across his palm when he started.
From this gap, although Ande could not see how he stole the other person's wallet from the other person's arms, the middle-aged man's hand was empty when he reached out, and when he retracted his hand, he held a black wallet in his hand. As long as he saw this step, anyone knew that he had stole the other person's wallet.
But, even though the facts were right in front of me, why was Uncle Trigan so surprised?
Telligan didn't see anything at all. In fact, the number of frames of images distinguished by human eyes is limited. For example, movies can play at a speed of twenty-four pictures per second, so people can feel the gap between switching images.
Many of the so-called "close-scene magic" use the human brain to have gaps in visual information processing, resulting in the effect that the hands are faster than the eyes.
The middle-aged man was a skilled old thief. His movement of stealing his money bag was even more sophisticated. He was very familiar. Not to mention a coat as a cover, even under his nose, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice - wasn't the owner just walking over ignorantly?
I want to see a flash of black money bag from a gap twenty meters away, in a slap, not everyone has this kind of vision.
But this is how people are, 'I see the green mountains so charming, and the green mountains should look like this'. It is actually because I think I am putting my heart in my heart.
When Ander saw that Telligan did not arrest anyone, he asked himself how he saw it. Naturally, he would not hide it and honestly told Telligan what he saw.
Then he told Tilligan that he had seen three pickpockets stealing on the way to the town guard yard.
Trigan was shocked. He had always known that Ender had good eyesight, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
This kind of vision may almost catch up with the Phantom Sagittarius of the Elf Clan. Phantom Sagittarius is the unique profession of the Elf Clan. It can use the magical bows and arrows made by the Elf Clan to snipe targets thousands of meters away. This profession is famous, but the specific identity of these Phantom Sagittarius has always been secretly disclosed.
"I can't tell, Little Ander, you have such skills, and you can do a favor to your uncle." Trigan was overjoyed. If according to Ender's statement, as long as he was asked to walk around the town, wouldn't all the problems be solved?
Ander naturally agreed.
The town guards had already spilled all their hands and patrol the streets to maintain public order. Telligan didn't have to go back and call people. He casually pulled a patrol team on the street, then summoned some people from the street, followed Ander all the way.
Along the way, Ander pointed at it, and in a short while, he had already caught eleven or two from the street.
Originally, catching people in such a big way would cause panic, but as one wallet was found, there was only cheering on the street.
However, after catching these people, the news spread and there was no sight on the road behind him staring at other people's wallets.
Instead, I secretly used my eyes from the corner of my eyes, or thought I was standing in a hidden angle, so there were more people watching here.
Ender also wrote down these people's faces one by one.
Originally, his memory was not so good, but over the years, perhaps because of his whole body's health and his internal organs' strength, his vision, hearing, and even his memory and calculation ability have been improved. He recorded more than 20 faces without any pressure.
Ender probably won't get any more.
Because even if they are really pickpockets, they are walking honestly and without squinting on the street, no one can tell these people.
Ander was about to ask everyone to withdraw the team, but he saw a few familiar faces.
This was when Ander saw three pickpockets passing by the crime with his own eyes in the morning.
Ande pointed a few casually, and naturally there were soldiers from the town guards to catch the person - it was not that they didn't want to run, but that Ande's group had eleven or two, plus the patrolling town guard members, there were thirty or forty people scattered in the crowd. How could they run away when standing in this circle?
Ender originally wanted to prove the last pickpocket Damon, but he knew that pickpocket Damon, who was an orphan from Leicester town, was about the same age as Ender.
Looking at the other party's scared face, Ander thought for a while. Anyway, there were already many pickpockets who caught a new face today, so it should be able to solve Uncle Trigan's trouble. There is no need to count this kid in it.
Moreover, many locals know that Damon is a pickpocket, but most of the people he steals are from outsiders, and he doesn't move the locals' wallets, which is why he can survive until now.
"Uncle Trigan, I think it's almost done here. Then I'll go to Uncle Corey's house for a walk?" Ender turned around and asked.
Telligan couldn't help but smile as he watched his subordinates tied up a dozen pickpockets and took them away.
Ander didn't know that the Baron's collar also had office politics, but Tligan knew it, and he was now involved in a dispute. If the problem was not solved well this time, it might become an excuse for others to attack - it was precisely for this reason that he had just gotten so angry in the office.
"Hahaha, OK, go, I've helped me a lot today."
He patted Ander on the shoulder: "When you meet Corey and Lerela, you must persuade them well. Everyone is a partner who is born and die together. What can you do to be unwilling to see this little thing?"
This world does not have high requirements for female chastity, let alone for men?
In Trigan's opinion, Corey just tasted wild food occasionally, which was really just a small matter for adventurers who were born and died, and it was no big deal.
Back then, everyone—including Larila—had called prostitutes to serve and drink together.
Trigan can be said so, but Ender couldn't continue like this. He said goodbye to Trigan and walked towards the east of the town.
The entire town of Leicester can be roughly divided into five parts, centered on the temple and the central square, with the town office, and many key departments in the town are around the central square.
To the east and south are the essence of the town. The main road I just walked through these two areas, which are the main commercial areas of the town;
The smallest independent area in the northeast is the town guard's garrison, and the west is a place for bulk goods such as wood and wood.
As for the north, there is a place where the poor and civilians live in the town. Of course, there is also a low wall between the two areas of civilians and poor.
After Corey and Lerira got married, they used their adventures to buy 150 acres of land outside the town, hired stewards and tenants to farm, and they themselves joined the Baron Leicester to lead the army.
Corey is the captain of the infantry squadron, and Lerera is the instructor of the Archer Team.
The two of them had relatively high incomes in the town. In addition, they were in the army and Tilligan's help, and they already had the status of a squire, so they could obtain land to build houses in the East District.
There are always patrolling people from the town guards here, which is the best area for public security in the town. If a stranger comes here, he will definitely be stopped and interrogated.
But Ender is an exception. He is very familiar with the people from the town guards, and he often comes here, so naturally no one will stop him.
When I walked to a two-story villa, there was a gray-haired man trimming some decorative shrubs on the grass inside the wooden fence.
"Mr. Mellon, is Uncle Cory here?" Ender greeted.
"It's Mr. Ander. Mr. Cory is not here, but Mrs. Cory is at home. Come in and rest in the living room first. I'll inform her?" Millen said politely.
Mr. Mellon was the butler hired by the Cory and his wife, and in the squire class, if there was not even a butler, he would be embarrassed to say hello to others when he went out.
"Oh, thank you."
Not long after Ender sat down in the living room, Lerira walked out of the room in a breeze.
"Little Ander, why do you think of seeing your aunt today?" Larira was wearing a water-blue long dress and a bun on her head, looking quite like a lady, but this way of walking with big strides betrayed her.
Ander quickly stood up and said, "Auntie Lairella, I'm going to take the hunter test tomorrow, so I want to relax and go around today."
"If you ask me to tell me that you should have a serious job and leave the Reult Hotel. When a boy grows up, he should have his own career. What's the point of always lying under someone else's roof?"
Lerira said carelessly, pointing to the chair and letting Ender sit down and speak.
Mr. Mellon brought two cups of milk tea from it and put it on the table.
"I came out of Uncle Trigan just now, and I heard Uncle Trigan say, Auntie, are you in a bad mood?" Ander carefully observed Larira's face.
Of course Ander wouldn't say that Tilligan had told him that it was Uncle Cory's cheating that caused Larila to be in a bad mood.
However, now looking at Aunt Larira's face, I can't tell that she looks in a bad mood.
"What is bad mood? I'm in a bad mood!" When Ander asked about this, Larira was very straightforward: "I have been married to your Uncle Cory for five years and don't even have a child."
"Two months ago, I went to Gra City to do business and asked the priest of the fertility goddess to check my health. The pastor said that I was running around in the wild a few years ago, and I had secret injuries left after sleeping in the wind and dining, so I'm afraid there is no chance of getting pregnant."
The goddess of fertility, Altoran, is a god worshipped by many noble ladies and gentry women. It is of weak divine power. It has a high status among the gods, but it is very respected and loved.
