Interrogating the Criminals

Casey was still wearing the same clothes, with a large bag slung over his shoulder, looking like he had just returned. Four people armed with weapons were chasing after him; it was obvious they were after the Primal Crystal. 💚♢ 😲💞

"You wait here, I'll go down and check. If anyone tries to run away, stop them!" I told Riven and went downstairs.

Casey was startled when someone suddenly blocked her way, but she was relieved when she realized it was me. She quickly put the large bag on the ground, her forehead covered in sweat.

The four men behind him all looked menacing; three of them were holding daggers, and the other a gun. "Who are you? Mind your own business!"

"How can helping my friend be considered meddling?"

"He's your friend? Treasure hunter Casey has no friends."

"No, the friend I'm talking about isn't him, it's the policeman!"

When I mentioned the police, several people hesitated for a moment, then the man with the gun pointed it at me and said, "Impersonating a police officer in Piltover is a serious crime! If I shoot you now, nobody will care!"

"I'm not a police officer, but a friend of one. I'm going to take you to the police station. If you understand, then come with me obediently."

"Damn it, I didn't want to attract attention, but you've got a death wish!" With that, he fired two shots.

If it were Hextech Weapons, I might be more careful, but this kind of ordinary firearm wouldn't be able to hit me. The bullet hit the wind wall and lost its propulsion, falling to the ground with two crisp "thuds".

"That kind of toy doesn't work."

"Damn it, what kind of magic trick did you use?"

Have you ever seen someone so stupid as to reveal their entire secret?

"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so arrogant! Attack together!"

After saying that, the gunman holstered his gun, pulled out a dagger, and charged at me along with several other men.

I was just out for a stroll today, and I didn't bring any weapons. But I didn't need any to deal with this kind of guy; I took him down in just a few moves.

At that moment, they finally realized that I wasn't just a magician who fooled people with tricks, but someone with real skills!

"Let's retreat! We've run into a tough opponent!"

The group turned to run, only to find their path blocked. Riven was watching them with a smile.

She was wearing a dark blue long dress today, and although she had carefully groomed herself, she looked quite pretty; it was just that her overall demeanor didn't suit the outfit.

When they saw a woman blocking their way, they swung their knives to stab her, but Riven grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the ground. Then, with a sweeping kick, she tripped the other two and pinned them down by their lower backs, rendering them unable to move.

Several people screamed in pain, but after being threatened twice by Riven, they dared not make a sound again, enduring the pain with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

"Let them go, they probably won't dare to run away again." I was afraid they wouldn't be able to hold on and would pass out.

"Did you hear me! If you dare to run again, I'll break your legs!"

Hearing our words, the men were greatly relieved. They were lucky to have their hands and feet intact; how could they dare to run away?

Casey quickly thanked us. I was puzzled as to why he didn't fight back. He seemed quite skilled when we met in the desert, and he was carrying Hextech pistol.

If all else fails, calling for help shouldn't be a problem, right? There are so many people in Piltover at night; surely someone will be willing to call the police.

Casey said he chose to run away because he didn't want to cause trouble; it would be even more troublesome if more people knew he had the Primal Crystal.

Hearing him say that, I realized I had meant well but did something wrong, because quite a few people had already noticed what was going on here.

We left quickly. Riven and I planned to escort a few people to the police station. Just to be on the safe side, we asked Casey to come with us, but he refused.

"It's safer for me to go to the Phiros Family. The police can't be trusted; they're just as greedy for crystals."

"Okay, then do as you please."

Watching Casey's departing figure, I was struck by a thought: People are obsessed with wealth, but without sufficient power, isn't it also a burden?

Whether to give up something or gain something, sometimes it's something you really need to think about carefully.

Before we even reached the police station, the police spotted us, stopped us, and then came over to question us.

I recounted what had just happened, but to my surprise, the few people who had been so honest suddenly turned against me. They refused to admit it and even claimed that we had threatened them.

Riven was furious and about to teach them a lesson when I stopped her. "If you resort to violence, things will only get more complicated. Let's just go to the police station together."

"Hmph, a bunch of trash!"

The police station had already closed for the day, with only two officers on duty. We were all locked in the interrogation room, waiting for dawn.

Well, that's great. I'm here in jail dressed in a gorgeous outfit. I took off my outer shawl, rolled up my trousers, and was no longer bound by clothes. Riven lay down right there, her long skirt trailing on the ground, and fell asleep.

When dawn broke, the interrogators arrived; it was none other than Wei.

It seems she didn't follow the doctor's advice to rest for a couple more days and came back so soon.

She is in excellent spirits now, Hextech Prosthetic fits her body perfectly, so you can't tell that she had a new arm.

She was initially surprised to see that the two of us had spent the entire night in the interrogation room, then she laughed.

"Hey Riven, Yasuo, what did you do wrong? I heard it was a group fight?"

"No, I just meddled in someone else's business, but they turned around and accused me, so I was brought here."

I briefly explained the situation to Wei, and she naturally didn't suspect anything. The others, however, panicked; they clearly hadn't expected us to be so close.

However, one thing is one thing. Even though they knew the situation was unfavorable to them, they still insisted that Riven and I were bullying them, and the redness and swelling on their faces were the best proof.

Judging from their shameless behavior, I figured even calling Casey wouldn't help. But just because I can't do anything doesn't mean Vi is helpless. She deals with these kinds of people all the time and knows how to handle them.

"You, come here," she called out to one of them.

"Hello, officer."

"May I have your name?"

The boy's name is Nate.

How old are you this year?

Twenty-five years old.

Where do you live?

906 York Street.

"Gender."

"Grown ups..."

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me your gender."

"Male."

Where do you live?

"York Street... You've already inquired about it, sir."

"Oh really? I forgot. Okay, let me ask you another question: how old are you this year?"

"You've already asked about that."

"Let's ask another question: how many people did your boss send?"

He sent...

Nate suddenly stopped mid-sentence, but it was too late. Vi grabbed his collar. "Don't you live at 906 York Street? What's a boss there! Are you from Zaun?"

"I, I... I misheard your question. Yes, that's right."

"Did you hear me wrong? Looks like your hearing isn't working so well. Shall I make you a hole?"
