Chapter 83 The Old Boy Selling Matches
:
A magic lamp was lit alone in the closed interrogation room, shaking, and the chaotic light and shadow caused people to feel depressed.
"You have a wrongdoing, you now admit your crime, hand over the stolen books, and have a chance to receive a commutation of sentence!"
The pointer on the magic compass accurately aimed at the suspect on the seat. The Scarface Censor glanced at the compass, then spread the file and coldly advised him.
Chen Changan was tortured on the iron window and teased:
"I have never stole any books. Censor, do you have any evidence? I am a great good citizen!"
Who asked you to limit the spread of alchemy knowledge? All alchemy books are covered with covers. The price of a book is as high as ten to thirty ynals, which is ridiculously expensive!
Since he can't get a job for nothing, he can only steal it.
Bah, it's a steal!
So he accidentally stole a little more.
"Don't be slutty with me!"
Scar showed anger and shouted:
"The compass can locate the breath of stolen items. There are thousands of people on the street, only you are surrounded by the breath of all stolen books! Chen Chang'an, you still say you didn't steal books!?"
Chen Changan said innocently: "Sir, I am well-read. I have been exposed to many books in the library. It's not surprising."
Scar's face twitched straight, and asked:
"Why do you run away when you see us?"
Chen Changan became more and more calm, not like being caught, but like the wealthy people from the lighthouse countries occasionally entered the detention center for vacation, and said instead:
"I'm running and exercising. When did I run away?"
Scarface slapped the table hard, and his eyes twitched:
"Be honest, you are not a resident of Merlin City at all. A person from another place ran to Merlin City to exercise. What a joke, your lie is simply ridiculous! Say! What is your purpose of stealing books?"
Chen Changan raised his chin and looked at the examiner with a kind of admiration... The female examiner behind him was responsible for the transcript and smiled:
"I am an ordinary traveler, and reading is the only entertainment activity in the trip. When I get off the boat, in this land carrying wisdom and knowledge, even the air is sweet and filled with the fragrance of books. This is my purpose in coming to the city of Merlin. Isn't it okay?"
Scarface couldn't say anything to refute for a moment, but his years of experience in handling the case told him that the prey in front of him was the unquestionable criminal, and he sneered:
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. You are a traveler, right? I will lock you up to the maximum sentence for theft. As long as no one is bailed, you will not be able to get out."
Chen Changan was slightly silent, "Can I bail myself?"
"Puff~"
The female examiner couldn't help laughing.
Scarface had no time to take care of beating his colleagues. He rarely gained the upper hand in front of Chen Changan and said comfortably:
"The same thing, be honest and lenient, resist strictness, or not listen, it's your own business."
Just then.
Scarface suddenly saw a hint of mockery on the other side.
Chen Changan's lips raised slightly. As a criminal who wants to make a fortune, the first thing he does when entering the library is of course to learn the law and say calmly:
"I'm not scared. Do you really think I don't understand the laws of the City of Merlin? It is clearly stated that for those who lack evidence stay in the detention center for every day, the person in charge of the review will have to pay an Inal. The maximum sentence for theft is 1,001 nights. Can you really pay this money?"
The female examiner instantly lost her vigor. She had never heard of anything, but she felt that what Chen Changan said was true.
Scarface also hardened his teeth and pretended to be calm:
"Is this money, of course, done by the city's fiscal expenditure, what does it have to do with us?"
Chen Changan smiled but said nothing.
As an ancient currency that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, Inal's currency value is strong.
Even the City of Meilin, more than 10,000 years ago, had a sound social structure and labor costs far higher than that of Shili Raft Village, which was enough to pay the price of one-hour health care, without limiting men and women, and gender freedom.
Be frank and lenient, sit in the prison; resist strictly, be paid prison... Just wait until the two examiners are unable to pay the compensation for misjudgment, he can bring a small amount of Inal's scenery out of prison.
Scarface lost interest in continuing to interrogate, so Chen Changan was taken to the legendary detention center.
What's strange is that he even had a prisoner. The middle-aged man brushed the bangs on his head and laughed:
"Brother, have you stole something, too?"
Why do you say it...
Chen Changan said righteously:
"I was imprisoned here because it was a mistake in the law of the city of Merlin, and the incompetent officials could not find the criminal, forcibly scolding a helpless traveler like me..."
The Scarface Censor's face suddenly turned dark and he said angrily:
"Stay well and stay with you!"
Chen Changan smiled, walked into the cell, lay leisurely on the ground, waved to Scarface:
"Paid prison."
Scar's face became more and more black charcoal. After glaring at him, he left without saying a word.
The middle-aged man wondered: "Brother, what's going on in paid prison?"
Chen Changan had no intention of opposing the entire censor system and explained casually:
"The examiner said, just bring me some snacks."
As the earliest law in the City of Merlin, there are many flaws. The successor lord did not choose to abolish the old law, but added a large number of other laws to improve, and a large number of loopholes were filled.
Only the provisions on censors, the powerful and powerful class spent a lot of effort to preserve it and secretly suppressed the spread, and only the large libraries could retain it.
The middle-aged man nodded, then said with a smile:
"The scar face just now turned black. I thought you had grabbed his handle?"
Chen Changan changed the topic and said with a smile:
"Brother, how did you come in?"
The middle-aged man was slightly annoyed, "I was originally a match seller in the city. People called me an old match seller. The day before yesterday I found that the match burned faster. Did the workshop give me a batch of defective products? As a result, the magician of the workshop caught me in. Is this reasonable?"
Does the match burn faster?
Chen Changan frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.
If it is just a defective product, the partner vendors will not be arrested.
Dada dada... Chen Changan knocked on the floor tiles and suddenly recalled the colorful brilliance that magician Leo had shown him.
There seems to be some red light, wandering outside the colorful light.
Redshift phenomenon?
No.
This is a magic-dominated world.
Chen Changan straightened up and thought of a possibility.
The essence of elemental tides is to increase the concentration of magic, and the magic itself differentiates into more different elements, reducing the difficulty of magicians casting spells.
That is to say.
