"What's going on?" Ya Ye looked at the closed door and asked in confusion.
"Do you still remember the Sage Stone that I brought back two days ago?" Sei Itō lowered his body and sat back on the sofa. He looked at Ya Ye and asked. After seeing Ya Ye nod, he continued, "The original owner of the stone killed a soldier named Mastheus that night, and that soldier was a close friend of Colonel Mustang who just came."
"Then why did he come this time …" Ya Ye opened his mouth to ask, at the same time thinking.
"Well, who knows, it has nothing to do with us anyway." Sei Itō shrugged.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye …
"Excuse me, are you the national alchemist Sei Itō?" One day, Sei Itō, who was looking for information in the library, was suddenly approached by several armed gendarmes. One of the gendarmes said to Sei Itō.
"It's me." Sei Itō closed the book in his hand, turned to look at the burly white man standing in front of him, and nodded.
"We suspect that you are related to the death of Brigadier General Mastheus. Can you come with us?" With that said, the group of gendarmes behind him picked up their weapons one by one, loaded the bullets, and aimed at Sei Itō's upper body. After all, for the national alchemist, if they were not prepared in advance, ordinary firearms would not pose a threat to them at all.
"Show me the order." Sei Itō put the book back on the bookshelf and said softly.
"Okay." The leading gendarmes nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Sei Itō.
Sei Itō reached out and took a glance. It was nothing more than what the gendarmes said just now, and at the bottom was the words permitting the investigation and the signature of the approver.
"Kim Bradley?" Sei Itō muttered in a low voice that no one else could hear. He then handed the order back to the other party and said, "Okay."
"Thank you for your cooperation." The leader saluted and led Sei Itō out of the library under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Although he said so, none of the other gendarmes put down their guns. They still held their guns and pointed their muzzles at Ito Sei, looking nervous.
After leaving the library, they got into the military police's car and quickly returned to the central government. Sei Itō was escorted to an office by the military police.
"The interrogation will begin now."
At this time, Sei Itō was sitting alone on one side of the table in the office. Two armed military policemen pointed their guns at Sei Itō. Three soldiers in military uniforms sat across from him. One of them was in charge of questioning, another was in charge of taking notes, and the last one was in charge of supervising the entire process to ensure the accuracy of the interrogation.
"Do you know the late Brigadier General Mastheus?" The chief interrogator asked with a dignified face.
"I met him once, but I can't say I know him." Sei Itō replied.
"Do you know Major General Armstrong?" The chief interrogator asked.
"Same as Mastheus, I met him once, but I can't say I know him." Sei Itō said.
"Where were you on the night of XX, 1914?"
"At home."
"Is there anyone who can testify?"
"My girlfriend, Ya Ye."
"What about other witnesses?"
"No."
"Then do you have any explanation for the content of this photo?" The chief interrogator took out a photo from a document bag and threw it in front of Sei Itō.
Sei Itō picked up the photo and saw an English word written in blood in the photo. Around the English word was the phone booth that Sei Itō was familiar with when Mastheus died.
Seeing this, Sei Itō frowned and then relaxed. He threw the photo back on the table and said, "I don't know what you mean."
"Your alchemist title seems to be …" the chief interrogator said.
"Yes." Sei Itō nodded, then looked up at the chief interrogator and said, "Don't you think it's ridiculous that my title refers to me?"
"That's why we asked you to come here," the chief interrogator said in a low voice. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Sei Itō's attitude.
"Ha …" Sei Itō sneered and said, "Well, let's continue. What else do you want to ask?"
"Are you sure you were at home on the night of X month X?" the chief interrogator asked again.
"Yes, where would I go if I wasn't at home in the middle of the night?" Sei Itō spread his hands and asked.
"Well, that's all we want to ask. Of course, you need to stay in the detention center for a few days and wait for the results of our investigation," the chief interrogator and two other officials said as they stood up.
"Can I make a phone call?" Sei Itō frowned.
"No." The chief interrogator refused directly.
"Okay." Sei Itō nodded and did not insist. At this time, a military policeman came over with a pair of iron handcuffs in his hand and was about to handcuff Sei Itō.
"I said, I'm now under investigation. Why are you using this kind of thing on me now?" Sei Itō said as he moved his hands to avoid the military policeman's outstretched hands.
"Because you are a national alchemist, which is a dangerous person. This is a measure that has to be taken," the official who had been silent explained.
"Ha." Ito Sei sneered and let the gendarmerie handcuff him with a wooden board that could prevent him from putting his hands together. Under the guidance of the gendarmerie, he walked into the prison inside the central government building.
"Bang …" The iron door was closed.
"Kimbra, are you going to create a fact to frame me as a criminal and force me to do it?" In the cell, Sei Itō's head was slightly lowered, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he whispered to himself.
"Why hasn't Ah Cheng come back yet?" Ya Ye thought worriedly as he looked at the completely dark sky outside. Suddenly, Ya Ye's expression changed. He quickly ran to the side and grabbed the katana placed in the corner. He stared at the window with a vigilant expression.
At this time, a pair of flashing red eyes appeared in the dark, and a somewhat round figure broke through the window from outside.
"I want to eat you, I want to eat you, I want to eat you." Under the light, Grattoni's appearance was completely exposed. He stared at Ya Ye with his tongue hanging out, saliva dripping from his mouth as he muttered to himself.
"What kind of monster is this? And his aura …" Ya Ye thought to himself as he watched Grattoni staggering towards him.
"I'm going to eat you!" Grattoni shouted and quickly rushed towards Ya Ye.
Ya Ye was on high alert. The moment Grattoni rushed over, he half squatted forward, held the katana to his left, and held the katana in his right hand. He fiercely struck out with an iaido.
A bright silver crescent moon appeared between Ya Ye and Grattoni, cutting a deep gash in Grattoni's big belly.
"It hurts," Grattoni said in a child-like voice as he lay on the ground. At the same time, the red lightning on his body flickered rapidly. When he got up, the wound on his abdomen healed.
"This is … the Sage Stone." Ya Ye's pupils shrank. He immediately thought of the scene when he first accompanied Sei Itō to find Gullid.
"You're an early riser," Ya Ye asked.
"Yes." Grattoni put his right index finger in his mouth and sucked as he spoke.
"Why did you attack me?" Ya Ye quickly asked when he realized that Grattoni had answered his question so easily.
"Because Raas said he wanted to take you back," Grattoni answered like a child.
"Who's Raas?" Ya Ye continued to ask.
"Raas is Raas!" Grattoni replied and rushed towards Ya Ye again.
Ya Ye quickly jumped to the side and dodged Grattoni's attack. At the same time, he turned around and slashed at Grattoni's back. As the red lightning flashed, he quickly turned around and rushed to Grattoni's side and slashed down with his katana.
'I thought it was easy to kill Ah Cheng, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Where is Ah Cheng now? Why isn't he back yet?' Ya Ye quickly fought Grattoni while he worried about Sei Itō.
After a while, Ya Ye found that he couldn't kill Gratney in a short period of time. So, he stabbed Gratney's head with his sword. When Gratney didn't respond to the treatment, Ya Ye kicked Gratney's stomach and sent him flying. Then, Ya Ye jumped out of the window that Gratney crashed into.
The moment Ya Ye jumped out of the window, five cold lights appeared in the night sky. If you think this website is good, please remember to help promote this website! This website!
