Chapter 80: Actions of the Disciplinary Officers

While the banquet was going on smoothly, there was unrest in the hidden corners of Mondstadt. This was originally the stronghold of the gray forces, and they had never interfered with the Knights of Favonius.

But today, I don't know what the Knights of Favonius were thinking. They actually brought a few Sumeru people to thoroughly investigate these places. For a while, undercurrents surged in Mondstadt, but unfortunately, they were suppressed by Senor's force before they could even make a wave.

"Lord Seno, there are no clues here."

"Lord Seno, I don't have any clues here either."

"Lord Seno, I have no clues here, not even a single person."

"Lord Senor, is that intelligence accurate? Did the group of people who stole the confidential documents of the Order of the Lords really flee to Mondstadt? Did that profiteer cheat us out of one million Mora?"

After searching in vain, a disciplinary officer kicked the wall in anger. He seriously suspected that the profiteer had cheated them. The one million Moras was originally a bonus for their disciplinary officers. If the confidential document could not be found, the Council of Discipline would definitely not approve another one million Moras.

Seno shook his head slightly at the suspicion of the disciplinary officer. Although the businessman named Dolly had a history of cheating Mora, judging from the evaluation of Dolly by people who had bought things from her, the businessman named Dolly would not offend the disciplinary officer by selling them false information for one million Mora.

"Mr. Hoffman, are there any caravans coming to Mond recently?"

"Caravan? There is indeed a caravan that arrived in Mondstadt today."

Hoffman, who was responsible for cooperating with the disciplinary officers such as Senor, thought about it. It seemed that a caravan from Liyue arrived in Mondstadt this afternoon. However, according to the news from the Knights of Favonius who were secretly monitoring them, the caravan only stayed in the hotel after arriving in Mondstadt and did not go out.

The Liyue caravan? Perhaps it was a cover for the thieves who came to Mondstadt by boat. Senor's eyes sparkled. He had seen too many such attempts to cover up something that only made it more obvious in Xumi. His intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this caravan.

"Then Mr. Hoffman, can you take us to visit the person in charge of the caravan?"

"You can visit us, but you can't take action. We, Mondstadt, have always been Liyue's ally. If you take action, then we, Mondstadt, have the right to terminate our cooperation with you, Xumi."

After hesitating for a while, Hoffman agreed to Seno's request, because Captain Qin told him that as long as the request was not too excessive, he would agree to Seno and his group.

Following Hoffman to a hotel that was slightly inferior to the Goethe Hotel, Hoffman first greeted the guards of the caravan outside the hotel in a friendly manner. Before Hoffman could say a few words to them, a man dressed in Sumeru scholar's clothes suddenly ran out from the side door of the hotel in a panic.

When Seno saw this person, he felt something was wrong at the first moment, but as he watched the man running farther and farther away, he had no intention of thinking about it. He just said "chase" and took the lead to chase after him.

When the surrounding Knights of Favonius and disciplinary officers saw that the leader, Senor, had chased after them, they no longer cared about the people in the caravan and all followed Senor.

During the chase, the feeling of something wrong in Seno's heart became stronger and stronger. If the feeling of something wrong just now was only the size of an ordinary slime, now it was as big as the formless grass.

What made him feel something was wrong was not only the unusually nimble legs and feet of this "Sumeru scholar", but also the fact that this "Sumeru man" was too familiar with the terrain of Mondstadt. Relying on the familiar terrain, Seno had not been able to catch this guy for more than ten minutes.

"Don't run, you've been surrounded by us!"

Hoffman led a group of Favonius Knights to take a shortcut and directly blocked the "Sumeru Scholar". Now with Favonius Knights in front and the discipline officer behind, the "Sumeru Scholar" was directly sandwiched from both sides. Realizing that he might not be able to escape, the "Sumeru Scholar" simply stopped and took off the hood on his head to reveal his original appearance.

"Anthony, how could it be you!?"

Seeing the familiar face under the hood, Hoffman was so shocked that he could hardly hold the sword in his hand. Oh my god, could it be that the Mond people stole the confidential documents of the Church Order? Oh, if they had known it was the Mond people, they would have just pretended and there would be no need to chase them so closely.

"Mr. Hoffman, you came at the right time. These guys with weapons chased me all the way. You should arrest them quickly."

Anthony did not confess as Hoffman imagined, but instead dodged and hid behind Hoffman, which made Hoffman completely confused. Is there something wrong with this plot?

"Well, calm down for a moment. I'm going to ask Anthony what happened first."

After calming down the disciplinary officers who were eager to take action, Hoffman looked at Anthony and asked seriously.

"Anthony, who asked you to run around wearing Sumeru-style clothes? You must answer honestly!"

“No one asked me to do that.”

Anthony scratched his head with a very sincere expression on his face. Hoffman's mouth twitched. Even if he was stupid, he knew that Anthony was definitely not telling the truth. He asked unhappily.

"No one asked you why you were running around the streets in this dress at this time."

"Oh, Mr. Hoffman, what are you talking about? I heard that a caravan came to Mondstadt and the clothes they bought were very cheap, so I thought about buying some."

"When I got there, this dress was the only one left. I bought it out of fear that it would be sold out. As for why you ran, Mr. Hoffman, could you not run when a group of armed and ferocious people were chasing you?"

Ah, this seems to make sense. After listening to Anthony's explanation, Hoffman suddenly felt that it made sense. Anthony's explanation also made the disciplinary officers not know how to ask further. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Anthony was lying, but they could not torture a Mond person on Mond's territory.

For a moment, the situation fell into silence. The Knights of Favonius and the disciplinarians of the Knights of Favonius looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do. The feeling of something being wrong in Senor's heart had turned into uneasiness. He felt as if he had missed something.

Seeing that several of the Favonius Knights who had gathered around were responsible for monitoring the caravan, Seno, who was a high-ranking disciplinarian and had dealt with countless criminals, realized in an instant that they had fallen into a trap. This Mond man wearing Sumeru clothing was trying to lure away the Favonius Knights who were monitoring the caravan, in order to make all of them leave the hotel.

"No, go back quickly!"

Watching Seno and others hurriedly running back, Anthony, who had been running all the way, sat down on the ground weakly and gasped for breath. The old man who introduced the doctor to Anna said, "I can only help you here. I hope you can arrange everything."

Anthony touched the clothes that the old man gave him. The fabric of the clothes was quite good. When he had time, he would take it to the clothing store and ask the owner to help him alter it into a women's style. His sister Anna would definitely look very beautiful in it.
