Colonia Storm Tour

Chapter 59 Resolution of the Incident

After manipulating the airflow to "lift" the terrified, incontinent monkeys onto the van, Lin Haiyuan closed the doors again to prevent the foul stench of excrement and urine from leaking directly into the environment and causing physiological harm to them from the bio-synthetic poison gas. After dealing with the monkeys, he would then complete the investigation commissioned by the agency.

"Tsubaki, Kazuha, you two come with me to the car in the back and stand guard by the door, watching the car opposite. If you notice anyone doing anything to that car, notify me immediately. I'm going in to interrogate those two guys and collect their statements so they can spill everything they know as evidence for our investigation."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he turned around and ran quickly towards the van where there were only two people. Chun and He Ye nodded and followed Lin Haiyuan, keeping watch outside the van containing the stinky monkeys as he had instructed.

Before entering the van, Lin Haiyuan manipulated the airflow to refresh the interior, preventing excessive anesthetic aerosols in the air from affecting him and the two men inside. Once inside, he took out his memo and pen, preparing to record their statements.

He used his mental power to stimulate Jie, who was sitting in the driver's seat, to wake up, and then used a massive amount of mental power to instantly overwhelm the opponent's weak will and firmly control his mind.

Mind control has already taken control of this human named "Jie," but in order to avoid them detecting the presence of mental power too early, Lin Haiyuan still needs to say some polite words.

Lin Haiyuan pulled out his War Soul M1887 shotgun and pressed it against the guy's temple, saying, "You're awake? Want to turn around and see what's that thing on your head?"

"Eek, eh, it's, it's, it's a gun. Who, who are you people?"

Like a puppet on a string, Jie was being manipulated by Lin Haiyuan in a clumsy skit, but judging from his voice, Jie was still able to express his fear quite well.

"Who I am is not important. Just know that if you keep talking nonsense to me, your head will become a watermelon under a stick. You will answer whatever I ask, understand?"

Lin Haiyuan used vicious words to reduce the time spent on this clumsy situational drama by 80%.

"Oh, oh, oh! I'll talk, I'll talk! What do you want to know, sir? I'll tell you everything I know!"

The mind-controlled monster made an even more clumsy and blank expression of terror, its terrified words completely incongruous with its dead expression.

"Alright, let me ask you, did you kidnap a black-furred fox-type demi-human and a cat-type demi-human yesterday and sell them to Huaxiaolou?"

Lin Haiyuan swiftly began the interrogation process, extracting information from this human named Jie.

"Yes, yes, that's right. It was me and this big guy next to me who did it together. Those monkeys from the Crested Arms Islands were responsible for using the maze spray and sacks and ropes to tie up the two foxes and the cat."

Jie recounted the events in a casual, almost rambling manner, confirming Lin Haiyuan's, Chun's, and He Ye's thoughts on the matter.

“Very well, why did these monkey spirits from the Crested Arms kidnap them? Who among you ordered them to do so? Explain yourself clearly.”

Lin Haiyuan didn't care that those monkeys came from the Crested Arms Islands; after all, no matter which world it is, there is never a shortage of illegal immigrants seeking a living.

"Last time, when Brother Gudi saw those two silly girls chasing the firebird, the staff from Huaxiao Tower asked Brother Gudi to send over two black-haired cat-type and fox-type female demi-humans, who were also wandering knights. These two silly girls also happened to be wandering knights. So Brother Gudi asked me to notify the Flower Fruit Monkey King, who had no affiliation, and his monkey spirits to be responsible for capturing them. The Flower Fruit Monkey King and the monkey spirits were all in a van. They had already been looking for opportunities to capture women in the Eastern Prefecture. Their methods were very swift and efficient, and they had gained quite a reputation. However, no one dared to hire them because they were willing to work for money. As long as Brother Gudi paid them and gave them a share afterward, they were willing to help us get into trouble and become our henchmen."

Jie's words explained the whole story in detail, and Lin Haiyuan, who was standing to the side, also wrote down what he said in his memo.

“Very good. Tell me everything: how you contacted the monkey spirits, their area of ​​activity, the location of your elder brother Gu Di, his contact information and address, and where the women who were recently captured and sold by the monkey spirits were sold.”

Lin Haiyuan not only needs testimony, but also concrete, verifiable evidence to convince the guild of their investigation report.

Under the control of mental power, this human named Jie recounted everything Lin Haiyuan had asked him without reservation. He even signed his imposing name on the back of the page recording all his confessions: "Jie."

"Jie? Your name sounds pretty imposing, but what you do is anything but imposing; it's downright despicable. Now you can just keep sleeping."

Lin Haiyuan directly activated the mental power controlling his mind and body to knock him unconscious, and then delivered a hand chop to his carotid artery, forcing him to fall into a coma again and releasing him from mental control.

After finishing the tedious interrogation, Lin Haiyuan tore the page from the memo and got out of the car to face Chun and He Ye.

"This is my statement recording everything he said, along with evidence such as their activity range and contact information. It also includes the last destination of those missing women after they were trafficked. Now the investigation can be considered complete. The signature of that guy on the back increases its credibility. You can just use this statement to get by."

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he handed the memo to Chun and put the mechanical pencil back into the storage compartment of the Altaïr armor.

"That's great!" "That's really great!"

Chun and He Ye cheered and clapped their hands at each other. They had been watching from outside the car and could naturally have heard Lin Haiyuan and Jie's conversation inside.

Chun happily accepted the memorandum paper that Lin Haiyuan handed over, which was intended to be used as evidence and intelligence. Instead of putting it back in her pocket, she and He Ye carefully examined the statements on the paper and found that they matched the interrogation they had overheard outside the car. Only after confirming that there were no discrepancies did she carefully put it into her skirt pocket.

Finally, all Chun and He Ye need to do is find a way to safely reach the East Prefect's guild and submit the memorandum of evidence used to complete the investigation. Lin Haiyuan will then find a way to drag these filthy monkey spirits (including the Flower Fruit Monkey King), Jie and Big Guy, and their old brother Gudi to the garrison, where they can wait for them to come and claim their reward.

The End of Chapter Sixty: A Minor Interlude

When Tsubaki and Kazuha returned to the guild to report on the investigation, a new case came up: the arrest of members of a criminal gang that kidnapped and trafficked females. Coincidentally, the person who issued the case was a member of the police force. Although they were not familiar with this member of the police force, the memo they had was solid evidence that they were not lying, and they quickly showed it to that person.

The clerk of the security detail stared at the neatly formatted and meticulously handwritten notes on the memo paper for a moment, then examined it closely. He could tell that it was a statement. The notes looked quite new, and the logical and coherent dialogue didn't seem like a fabrication. On the back, there was a crooked signature of the person making the statement in different handwriting.

The entire security force is currently struggling with this matter. Previously, the guild acknowledged that they had completed the investigation based on this statement. The security force clerk was unable to find any flaws in the statement, so he decided to return to headquarters to mobilize troops and send people to the guild. Even the security force captain personally went to accompany Tsubaki and Kazuha to Pleasure Town.

Generally speaking, these members of the security force are not allowed to easily enter and leave Happy Town. There are too many yakuza organizations, and various forces and interests are intertwined here. In order to avoid provoking any unknown powerful figures, they never go to those places easily. Now they have a legitimate official reason to go out, and in order to ensure the stability of public order and the trust of others in the security force, of course they have to go out.

Thus, the unusual sight of black-and-white police cars arriving near Huaxiaolou in Huanle Town, a place traditionally considered a lawless zone, caused panic among the surrounding residents. This naturally caught the attention of the special agents on duty near Huaxiaolou, but they paid little attention to it. Their intelligence agency was not the KGB, and such matters, being internal affairs, were not their concern. As long as it did not affect their work, they would not concern themselves with things that had unpredictable consequences.

After Tsubaki and Kazuha led the guards into the alley, they saw Lin Haiyuan carrying a young human male in one hand as if he were a child.

"Oh? You brought the security team to clean up the mess? Perfect, I'll bring the head of this instigator here too. As for the rest of the small fry, you can figure out how to catch them yourselves."

Lin Haiyuan watched as the security personnel approached from two directions and threw the human, referred to as Brother Gudi, to the ground.

"He's the one who helped us capture those monkey-like demi-humans and humans who wanted to kidnap me and sell me to brothels. He's the one who recorded the confession after interrogating them. He's the captain of the security team."

Catgirl Kazuha turned around and explained to the serious and experienced captain of the dog-type demi-human security team.

"If he hadn't intervened in time, we might all have been captured and sold into slavery."

Fox Maiden Chun didn't say that they were using a fishing tactic with Lin Haiyuan, and were lucky enough to lure out these foreign criminal gangs. As for what Lin Haiyuan did at Huaxiao Tower after being captured and sold there yesterday, that was naturally something she couldn't say. I think they didn't want to hear about negotiations that were set as secret by the intelligence agency and His Majesty the Supreme King.

"Ah, sir, on behalf of the entire security force, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for helping me apprehend this criminal gang of foreigners who roam around kidnapping women and for recording this statement that can be used as evidence. Your skill and expertise are truly admirable. May I ask if you are one of our colleagues?"

The captain of the security team looked at the person in the hatchback, and then at Lin Haiyuan's low-key yet handsome eagle-patterned robe that didn't show his upper face, and realized that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"It's neither true nor false. In any case, just take these criminal gang members and accomplices with you. Oh, by the way, those monkey-like demi-humans were scared out of their wits and they smell of excrement. Tell your team members to be careful."

Before Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, the smell of the monkey spirits and the Flower Fruit Monkey King's excrement, which had been carried back into the van by the airflow, immediately wafted out after the door was opened. The overwhelming stench caused the unfortunate guards who were nearby to cover their mouths and noses, wave their hands, and turn away. Some even made slight vomiting sounds.

"Oh, this smells terrible. What did you do to these prisoners that caused them to lose control of their excretions? My team can't stand it."

The captain of the dog-type demi-human security team frowned and covered his mouth and nose. The stench of excrement blowing in through the vent made even his sensitive sense of smell very uncomfortable.

"I used a special method to scare these cowards, but what exactly it was is a closely guarded secret that I can't tell anyone else. I won't explain any further."

Lin Haiyuan had always wanted to conceal his mental power, so how could he openly tell this security team captain?

"A family secret technique? I won't inquire about that, but could you please go to the police station to give a statement to verify your identity?"

The captain of the garrison adjusted his black and white police cap and asked, his hands behind his back.

"No, please allow me to refuse on that point. I don't want to waste time going to the police station to give a statement. You can just ask those two girls. You already know what you need to know. You don't want to know things that your position shouldn't require you to know, do you? And my identity... do you want to be reprimanded by your boss for going too far?"

Lin Haiyuan entered the country illegally. It would be fine if he went to the police station to give a statement, but if his identity is investigated and he has no identification, wouldn't he be in big trouble? Using spiritual power to solve the problem would also be troublesome.

"What do you mean by that, sir? This is one of the necessary procedures in any case."

The captain of the dog-type demi-human security team immediately perked up his droopy dog ​​ears, indicating that he was serious.

"The Empire's intelligence agencies will think you, as the captain of the garrison, are overreaching, even investigating people connected to them. Besides, I'm not here to cause trouble or do bad things in the area, understand?"

Lin Haiyuan believed that once the topic of the Empire's intelligence agency was brought up, if the garrison captain had any sense, he would choose to give up questioning Lin Haiyuan and allow him to give a statement and verify his identity.

"...Please forgive my rudeness."

The dog-shaped demi-human guard captain's ears immediately drooped down, admitting defeat. He was just a small guard captain and could not afford to offend the huge intelligence organization hidden in the shadows of the empire.

“You’re very smart. You’ll definitely have a bright future. I have a dinner appointment with Tsubaki and Kazuha, so I’ll be waiting for them outside the police station.”

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he infused his voice with spiritual power, transforming his magnetic voice into an irresistible, enchanting sound.

"Okay, sir."

The captain of the security team was also powerless against the power of the mind, so he nodded in confirmation and returned to his subordinates to carry out the arrest operation with them.

At this moment, Tsubaki and Kazuha came to his side. They could clearly hear his conversation with the captain of the security force. Tsubaki asked worriedly:

"Is everything alright? You told him you have connections with the Empire's intelligence agency. Won't they continue to investigate your identity?"

"He's a smart guy who doesn't meddle in other people's business; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten to that position."

Lin Haiyuan didn't think the garrison captain had any way to investigate him.

"However, since you've come to the Cherry Blossom Islands as a tourist, shouldn't it be perfectly fine to just take a statement and verify your identity?"

He Ye thought about something incongruous about Lin Haiyuan's words earlier.

Since I was airdropped into the capital city of Dongtai Prefecture in the Dieying Islands, where would I get a passport and identity documents to prove my origin and the legality of my identity?

Lin Haiyuan raised a finger to signal for silence, then pointed to the security team members who were on duty around him. Chun and He Ye both nodded knowingly and did not ask any more questions.

This RPG is pretty much over, let me wrap it up (nut face).

Lately, when I play the Brutal difficulty of the Comedy Co-op mode, I always get matched with weird teammates. It's one thing if they're not proficient or max level, but they can't even coordinate their roles properly. They're always looking after one thing and neglecting the others, making it really difficult for me, Nut, to play. All Nut can do is summon the Death Fleet every two or three minutes to maintain his pitiful mobility, which is completely useless.

Chapter Sixty-One: No Results

After waiting idly for 10 minutes outside the police station, Tsubaki and Kazuha finally let out a big sigh of relief and walked out of the police station.

"Phew, I'm exhausted. These guards are really suspicious, they keep asking me all sorts of questions."

Chun came out, stretched, and complained to Lin Haiyuan, who was waiting outside, that she was very unhappy with the police officers' interrogation, which was like checking household registrations.

“Last time we went to the police station because of the theft, it took a full half hour before we were allowed to leave. This time we came out in 10 minutes, which is thanks to Lin Haiyuan.”

He Ye knew that Lin Haiyuan was subtly hinting at the garrison captain by mentioning the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and since he also mentioned that they had an appointment to have dinner with Lin Haiyuan, she naturally dared not neglect them.

"It's possible that the interrogation questions originally intended for me were used on you instead. After all, you seem to have a close relationship with me, and if you want to find out some personal information about me, it's obviously best to start with you. So what did you answer on this issue? Let's talk as we walk. The guild's bounty for capturing criminal gangs is still waiting for you."

Lin Haiyuan followed Chun and He Ye, not knowing where the guilds where the wandering knights completed their tasks. He could only follow them.

"It's about our relationship, and your name. I answered about the relationship between you and Tsubaki and Kazuha, and your name."

Chun had no choice but to explain their relationship with Lin Haiyuan and their names, because keeping it a secret and not telling the truth would only make them seem suspicious.

"The questions here are just general in nature. Like Tsubaki, I only answered the most basic questions about our relationship and names. I didn't give a direct answer to the other questions."

Kazuha wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal more information about Lin Haiyuan; she just needed to get by and complete the task.

"That's alright, it should be fine. By the way, let's continue with the topic we didn't finish discussing back then. After this, do you plan to stay within the territory of the Eastern Prefect as wandering knights? You really don't have any other plans?"

Lin Haiyuan is now going to try and see if he can bring this little fox and kitten into his and Shinonono no Tsukasa's system.

"There really aren't any other ways. I think being a wandering knight is pretty good. Although I won't make a lot of money to become rich, it won't be a big problem to make a living."

Chun bluntly stated her future plan of wanting to slack off for the rest of her life.

"I think being a wandering knight is the freest thing. Everything else is exactly the same as what Chun said. So, Lin Haiyuan-san, are you trying to get us to join you as assassins and kill for your organization?"
