:
A single magic lamp was lit in the closed interrogation room, swaying, and the chaotic light and shadow made people depressed.
"Cheng Shifei, if you admit your crime now and hand over the stolen books, you still have a chance to get a reduced sentence!"
The pointer on the magic compass accurately aimed at the suspect on the seat. The scar-faced prosecutor glanced at the compass, then spread out the file and warned coldly.
Chen Changan was handcuffed to the iron window and teased:
"I have never stolen any books. Mr. Prosecutor, do you have any evidence? I am a very good citizen!"
Who asked you to restrict the spread of alchemy knowledge? All alchemy books are covered with covers. The price of a book is as high as ten to thirty innars, which is ridiculously expensive!
Since he couldn't get it for free, he had no choice but to steal it.
Bah, that’s plagiarism!
So, he accidentally stole a little more.
"Don't play tricks on me!"
Scarface showed an angry look and yelled:
"The compass can locate the smell of stolen items. There are thousands of people on the street, but you are the only one who smells the smell of all the stolen books! Chen Chang'an, you still said you didn't steal the books!?"
Chen Changan said with an innocent face: "Your Excellency, I am well-read and have come across many books in the library. Isn't that surprising?"
The corners of Scarface's mouth twitched and he asked:
"Then why did you run away when you saw us?"
Chen Changan became more and more calm, not as if he had been arrested, but as if the wealthy people from the Lighthouse country occasionally entered the detention center for vacation and turned against the guests:
"I was running to exercise. When did I run away?"
Scarface slammed the table, his eyes twitching angrily:
"Be honest, you are not a resident of the City of Merlin at all. You are a foreigner who went to the City of Merlin to exercise. Are you kidding me? Your lies are simply ridiculous! Tell me! What is your purpose of stealing books?"
Chen Changan raised his chin and looked at the prosecutor with admiring eyes... The female prosecutor behind him who was in charge of taking notes smiled and said:
"I am an ordinary traveler. Reading is the only entertainment activity during the trip. The moment I get off the ship, in this land carrying wisdom and knowledge, even the air is sweet and filled with the fragrance of books. Qingxiang, this is the purpose of my coming to the City of Merlin, isn't it?"
Scarface couldn't say anything to refute for a moment, but his years of experience in handling cases told him that the prey in front of him was a definite criminal, so he sneered:
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. You are a traveler, right? I will imprison you to the maximum sentence for theft. As long as no one bails you, you can't get out."
Chen Changan was slightly silent, "Can I bail myself out?"
"Pfft~"
The female prosecutor couldn't help laughing.
Scarface had no time to think about beating his colleagues. For once, he had the upper hand in front of Chen Changan and said happily:
"As I said before, you will be treated leniently if you confess, and you will be treated harshly if you resist. Whether you listen or not is your own business."
at this time.
Scarface suddenly saw a trace of ridicule on the other side.
The corner of Chen Changan's mouth raised slightly. As a criminal who wanted to get rich, the first thing he did when entering the library was to study law. He said calmly:
"I'm not scared. Do you really think I don't understand the laws of the City of Merlin? It is clearly written that for every day that a person with insufficient evidence stays in the detention center, the person in charge of the review will pay an inar. The highest crime is theft. The sentence is 1001 nights, can you really afford this?"
The female prosecutor's face turned pale in an instant. She had never heard of this statement, but she felt that what Chen Changan said was true.
Scarface also gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm:
"Does this money, of course, come out of the city's treasury, have anything to do with us?"
Chen Changan smiled and said nothing.
Innar, as an ancient currency that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, has a strong currency value.
Even in the City of Merlin more than 10,000 years ago, the social structure was sound and labor costs were much higher than those in Shili Murafi Village. It was enough to cover the price of one hour of medical care, regardless of gender, and gender freedom.
If he confesses, he will be given lenient jail time; if he resists, he will be jailed with pay... As long as the two prosecutors are unable to pay compensation for the miscarriage of justice, he can be released from prison with a small sum of money.
Scarface lost interest in continuing the interrogation, so Chen Changan was taken to the legendary detention center.
What's strange is that he was assigned a prison cellmate. The middle-aged man brushed the bangs on his head and said with a smile:
"Brother, did you steal something too?"
Why do you say that...
Chen Changan said righteously:
"I was imprisoned here because of a mistake in the laws of the City of Merlin. It was because the incompetent officials couldn't find the criminals and forcibly beat a helpless traveler like me..."
The scar-faced prosecutor's face suddenly darkened and he said angrily:
"Stay well, you!"
Chen Changan chuckled, walked into the cell, lay down leisurely on the ground, waved to Scarface and said:
"Paid prison."
Scar's face turned into black coal, and after glaring at him, he walked away without saying a word.
The middle-aged man wondered: "Brother, what's going on with paid prison?"
Chen Changan had no intention of going against the entire censorship system and casually explained:
"The prosecutor said, just bring me some snacks."
As the earliest law in the City of Merlin, there were many flaws. The succeeding city lord did not choose to abolish the old law, but added a large number of other laws to improve it, and a large number of loopholes were filled.
Only the provisions regarding censorship were preserved by the powerful elites who spent great efforts to preserve them and secretly suppressed the dissemination of the book. Only the Great Library was preserved.
The middle-aged man nodded, and then said with joy:
"That scarred face just now, his face turned black with anger. I thought you had a handle on him?"
Chen Changan changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Brother, how did you get in?"
The middle-aged man was slightly annoyed, "I was originally a match vendor in the city. People call me the old match boy. The day before yesterday, I found that the matches burned faster. Did the workshop give them a batch of defective products? As a result, The master magician of the workshop just arrested me, is this reasonable?"
Matches burn faster?
Chen Changan frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.
If it is just defective products, the cooperating vendors will not be arrested.
Ta-ta-ta... Chen Changan knocked on the floor tiles and suddenly recalled the colorful brilliance that the magician Leo had shown him.
There seems to be some red brilliance, free from the colorful brilliance.
Redshift phenomenon?
No.
This is a world dominated by magic.
Chen Changan straightened up and thought of a possibility.
The essence of the elemental tide is that the concentration of magic power increases, and the magic power self-differentiates into more different elements, which makes it easier for magicians to cast spells.
That is to say.
The fire element has begun to separate?
