After bumping into the "Pig Man" that night, she did go to the patrol guard to report it as the gentleman ordered.
But it took him longer than expected and when he finally found the guards, before he could express his intention, most of the guards left due to other emergencies. In the end, only two people were left to accompany him back to the scene.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't be a big problem. However, by the time she brought the two guards back to the dark alley, the "pig man" and the masked hero she was talking about had long since disappeared.
The two guards who were unwilling to follow him became furious and scolded him for no reason.
It wasn't until the next day that she learned that something had happened to the commander-in-chief of the city guard.
On the one hand, she didn't know the whereabouts of the masked hero and the pigman; on the other hand, Lina didn't know how she could make the city guards believe that she wasn't lying.
Several days passed by hesitating and hesitating.
Is the pig man caught now the same one he met that night?
And the hero who saved himself...where is he at this moment?
Many thoughts that could not be told to others were at war between heaven and man in Lina's mind.
——She really wanted to see the masked hero she met that night again.
"Now that the Pigman has been caught, the city guard will try him soon, right?" The girl on the side couldn't help but guess, "The crime he committed is so bad, maybe he will be hanged in public..."
In the Kingdom of Lornes, this is basically the highest level of punishment on the surface. Those who are sentenced to this punishment must be the most evil and evil people.
For those who have not been personally harmed, in addition to fear and worry, curiosity takes over after learning that the evildoer is about to be executed.
"Lina, why don't we go take a look then?" the girl came over and encouraged.
"Well..." Recalling the descriptions of executions she had heard growing up, Lina expressed her heartfelt rejection. "What's so interesting about that kind of scene?"
"Huhuhu~ You must be scared, right?"
"Who is scared?!" Lina suppressed her timidity and pretended not to care and said, "Go when you have time."

"President Modric, we have great news!" A senior employee of a publishing house walked into the office with uncontrollable joy.
Nowadays, Leaf Publishing House is growing day by day, and it no longer looks like the deserted place it once was.
By continuously selecting and cultivating valuable talents, to a certain extent, this place has become an important organization that can lead the direction of the royal capital.
"what news."
Modric responded casually while flipping through the paintings collected from various places.
During this period, his focus was on the preparation of the illustrated magazine. Although he was forced to take up the post of president of the publishing house due to life constraints, his love for painting remained unchanged.
It can be said that this project is the biggest reason why I can stay and work here.
Let me ask you, is there anything more wonderful in this world than selecting paintings that suit your own preferences?
"The City Guard has agreed to an exclusive interview with our King's Capital Morning News. We will publish a special report on the whole story of the [Pig Man] case! As a major case that everyone in the King's capital is paying attention to, it will definitely bring great consequences. Very hot." Bato said excitedly.
Modric couldn't help but raise his head from his desk after hearing this.
"Huh? Why did you agree so easily this time?"
Ever since the big boss Chris slapped her head one day and suddenly decided to add a page of legal education columns, everyone in the publishing house has been working hard to find out the inside story of relevant cases.
The boss said something lightly, but the subordinates broke their legs one by one.
Treating someone to a meal or giving a gift is relatively simple, but they often require investment and expense, but in the end they dismiss the people on their side with the words "It's confidential, no comment."
But they obviously won't inquire about sensitive information without looking at it. They just want to know more about some common cases that are more eye-catching and can be used to fill the page.
After all, if you want to keep this law popularization column going, you can't just rely on a few old cases that are well-known to everyone.
If the publishing house hadn't earned so much money, it probably wouldn't have been able to resist squandering it like this for a long time.
"I do not know……"
Bato didn't think much about it after receiving the news.
"By the way, maybe it's because the City Guard's management has been a bit chaotic recently, so they don't have the heart to mess with us for the time being, right?" He guessed.
They, who are called "reporters" by the big boss Chris, use various means to inquire about news from all aspects every day. They, professionals, are all familiar with many inside stories that outsiders don't know.
However, some sensitive content cannot be published.
This level of internal review was only started at the strong request of the second boss, Master Wayne.
"That's right... I was originally thinking about when I would suggest that the Duke come forward to organize a bureau and develop personal relationships with several adults in the city guard, so as to provide some convenience for the work of the publishing house..."
Modric said to himself, "Now it seems that it is better not to do this kind of thing in a hurry."
Seeing that Bator was still looking at him longingly, Modric came back to his senses.
"——Okay, do your best! The boss and I will never treat people who work hard."
"Understood!" Ba Tuo suddenly stood up straight and answered seriously.
…
Qingxi Academy.
The news about Ecos has generated a little heat again.
Although it is no longer as sensational as the previous times, everyone's respect for Ecos has not diminished at all.
A beautiful and powerful "messenger of justice" was by his side, which undoubtedly greatly stimulated these boys and girls.
Who hasn’t yearned for a life of ups and downs in which evil is eliminated and good is promoted every day?
Rather than describing Echos as a person, it is more like describing their own yearning hidden deep in their hearts.
Listening to other people in the Lily Club talking vividly about Echos' feat, Wayne looked uninterested.
Therefore, using the identity of Ecos to do things will have such side effects.
"—Let me tell you, I met Miss Echols at the last party at the Edgeworth family!"
Not far away, Gavin was surrounded by many girls for the first time.
"Ah...really?" The girls looked at Gavin with bright eyes, which greatly satisfied his self-confidence.
"Of course! Richard and many other nobles were also present at that time."
Gavin said loudly rather loudly.
It's as if he regards this matter as his own bragging rights.
"Isn't that right... I went there that day too, why didn't I see it?" Another girl asked in a low voice, slightly confused.
"That must be because you didn't notice it at the time." Gavin took the initiative to explain, "Miss Echos has a relatively withdrawn personality and doesn't interact with strangers much."
