Act 42. Interrogation

Outside Crescent Academy, the large area of ​​land originally used as a plantation has turned into an overgrown wasteland because it is unmaintained. In the cottage close to the Academy Castle, Antoine and Reiner are discussing the next sales strategy.

With the popularity of Piram Coke in surrounding cities, this trendy drink of Coke has gradually become popular in the hearts of the people and has become popular in the south of the country. With the influence of Bailena's mage card marketing, Crescent Coke has once again become a hot item.

In some areas where retail stores are underdeveloped, there is even a situation where bottles are hard to come by.

Of course, most people are interested in the mage card provided by Coke.

Due to unprecedentedly good sales, Reiner bought four skilled mage apprentices for Antoine to continuously produce coke. At the same time, he persuaded Antoine the previous week to temporarily relocate the alchemy workshop to this cottage at Crescent Academy to ensure safety.

Antoine didn't want to move at first. He didn't think that the despicable means that Reiner mentioned would really appear in Piram's hands, but in the end he moved out of the cottage where he had lived for more than ten years to be on the safe side.

"In the future, we can buy several shops on the old street, which can be used as an alchemist for producing coke and a direct sales shop on the other side. At the same time, customers will pay for money to visit Coke factories and other things."

Reiner has now invested in Antoine Alchemy Workshop in the name of Crescent Academy, accounting for 22% of the shares. He himself invested in his personal name through technology, accounting for 31% of the shares, and the rest is Antoine's shares. In a sense, Antoine Alchemy Workshop is now one of the industries of Crescent Academy.

This situation is very common. In order to maintain their own capital operation, larger schools will make various investments, including alchemy workshops and hospitals, lower-level schools, commercial associations, etc. Crescent College probably had some industries in the past, but it has almost failed in recent years.

"This suggestion is good. According to our current performance growth efficiency, it may be achieved in half a year."

Antoine nodded. He followed Reiner's advice and packed up his face. Now he didn't look as depressed as before, and he looked like a normal middle-aged man.

Dongdongdongdongdong-

A knock on the door interrupted the discussion between the two. Antoine opened the door and found that it was a familiar person.

"Sheriff Schela?"

Sulla, in her uniform, nodded to Antoine and continued.

"Mr. Antoine, we followed your advice and ambushed at the Antoine Alchemist House in Old Street. Tonight, we arrested a few guys who were intending to blow up your house. You may need to come to town and help us with some proof."

"Blow up?"

Antoine was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, what Reiner had warned him before would come true. That Piram would really find someone to endanger his personal safety.

"Mr. Antoine, just follow the sheriff, and I will check the situation later."

Reiner said, patting Antoine on the shoulder.

"Well, OK, I get it."

Antoine sorted out her emotions, then packed up her things and left with Xuela.

And Reiner, thinking for a moment, decided to wake up Claire first and let her accompany her.

He needs a bodyguard who can beat him.

......

Afterwards, Reiner woke up Claire, who was sleeping with a barbecue-like pillow, and used the weekend to invite her to the restaurant where the protagonist of "The Lonely Foodie" in Prest City to have a big meal, and convinced the sleepy teacher to accompany him to the town's detention center late at night.

When the two of them arrived at the sheriff's detention center in a carriage, it was already late at night.

Lunamia Town near Crescent Academy is the town where the old street is located, and is under the jurisdiction of Prest City, so Leslie and Sulla are equivalent to civil servants sent to the countryside to do business in the city, and were warmly entertained by local sheriffs.

They requisitioned a separate cell to hold Sanderson while blocking all information to prevent alarm from being disturbed by the real mastermind.

When they saw Reiner and Claire, the two sheriffs smiled knowingly, and then led them and Antoine to the interrogation room.

"This observation room can see what happened in the interrogation room, but the interrogation room cannot see this."

Leslie briefly explained that Claire felt a little strange.

The three of them came to the observation room with Leslie and saw Sanderson locked in a chair in the other room, looking down, while Sulla was sitting opposite him with several documents.

"Sanderson Glen, do you admit that you intend to blow up the Antoine alchemist house and kill the Antoine wizard?"

Sulla asked sternly, causing Sanderson to shivered suddenly, looking at the female sheriff in front of him with fear.

"I, I don't know..."

Sanderson still believed that Piram would save himself, and as written in the novel, he spent some money to bribe the prison guards and rescued himself, so he did not reveal the truth.

"You know, if you are instructed, confession can reduce your crime, but if you are determined to keep the secret, then we will think that you planned this case and what awaits you will be the death penalty."

Xuela said coldly, getting up and going to leave. Her words made Sanderson tremble, but she still didn't dare to betray her boss.

"We have interrogated your accomplices, they have recruited them."

When she left the interrogation room, she seemed to mention it accidentally, and Sulla's words made Sanderson stunned, his eyes drifting, as if he was thinking.

At this time, Leslie left the observation room and walked into the interrogation room instead of Schra, he took a glass of water and placed it in front of Sanderson.

"Sanderson, I know you are not a bad person, but you are temporarily blinded. If you can cooperate with our work, you can minimize your guilt."

Leslie fed Sanderson very gently and said earnestly.

"We've contacted your boss Piram before, and he feels very sorry for what you've done and says he's not aware of it, so Sanderson, you're saving yourself now."

This is the usual black-faced and white-faced strategy used in interrogation. Snowra's severity forms a sharp contrast with Leslie's gentleness. Where did Sanderson get this training? Leslie's words quickly made Sanderson react.

Sanderson always thought that Piram was trying to rescue him, but Leslie's words broke his fantasy. Because he was in a state of panic and chaos, he had not even thought about the possibility that Leslie and Shera would deceive him.

"I......"

He wanted to speak but stopped, Sanderson thought about it again and again, and all the past appeared in his mind, and he finally spoke.
