Chapter 484 Abnormality

"what?"

Eugene felt a strong sense of disbelief. He opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face, and anxiously asked the plainclothes soldier what was going on.

The plainclothes soldier recounted what had happened while panting rapidly. It turned out that after Eugene's carriage left, the plainclothes soldiers hiding in the alley keenly sensed something was wrong. They saw a carriage quietly coming out from the corner and followed closely.

The plainclothes soldiers did not dare to be careless and immediately sent two plainclothes officers to chase after them quietly. When they arrived near Eugene's residence, they found that the carriage was parked nearby.

Now this plainclothes soldier came to report the news, and another plainclothes soldier was still staring at the carriage.

"Good job, which bastard's parents bought this stuff wholesale and dared to track me down."

Eugene laughed out loud after hearing this. He had been holding back a lot of anger for a long time without any clues, and now he finally found an outlet.

He immediately ordered with a serious expression:

"Order the knights to dress in plain clothes, surround the carriage, then quietly go up and capture the people inside, blindfold them and bring them here."

Soon, dozens of knights in plain clothes took quick action, approached the carriage quietly like ghosts, and surrounded it in an instant.

Without any hesitation, they broke the door open with an axe, then rushed in like a tiger and pulled the people in the car out in no time.

The three people in the car didn't even have time to react before they were pinned to the ground and quickly handcuffed.

A few minutes later, in the basement of Eugene's residence, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

Eugene ordered his men to tear off the black cloths on the heads of the three stalkers who were tied to the chairs, then slammed the table and shouted:

"Who are you? Who told you to follow me?"

However, what Eugene did not expect was that the stalkers on the opposite side were even more arrogant than him. Facing Eugene's threats, they not only did not show any fear, but instead looked disdainful.

One of them sneered and said provocatively:

"You said I was following you. What are you doing? I don't care who you are. Just let me go. Otherwise, you will be in trouble when the sun rises."

Eugene got angry on the spot. What's the matter, buddy? You are a saint too. You can learn from His Majesty John and resurrect yourself. You don't have to go through so much trouble to commit suicide.

Then Eugene gave a look to the soldier next to him, ready to use some "torture art" to see how arrogant the other side could be.

As a result, the person on the other side was not afraid at all and shouted loudly:

"Stop it! If you dare, look through my pockets to see who I am!"

When Eugene heard this, he immediately signaled the soldier beside him to search the man's pockets.

The soldier acted quickly and soon pulled out a small book from his pocket. Eugene took it and saw that it was clearly written: Centurion of the Norwegian City Defense Force, Taba.

Eugene frowned slightly, raised his head in confusion and asked:

"City Defense Force? You have nothing better to do than to follow us?"

Taba stiffened his neck and said without showing any weakness:

"I still want to ask, where are you from? You have been following our car dealership owner Duna for seven days. What do you want to do? Let me tell you, Norwei City now has an inspector from above. If I report you, you are all doomed!"

Eugene was stunned for a few seconds, then he took out the document John gave him calmly and said calmly:

"Is it possible? I'm just patrolling!"

The atmosphere instantly fell into an eerie silence as both sides tried to comprehend the current situation.

Taba was the first to react. He immediately said with a big smile on his face:

"Sir, we have misunderstood."

Eugene then ordered his men to open the handcuffs of the three city defense officers. Taba no longer had the arrogance he had just now. He looked terrified and repeatedly said that he was reckless and did not know it was the inspector's order. He also said sweetly, "If you have any orders from above, just tell me and we, the city defense army, will do it for you."

The next morning, senior officials of the Norwegian city defense force held a friendly discussion with Eugene and his party.

Eugene spoke first and said that it was his fault this time for not notifying the city council in advance.

In response, the city defense officers hurriedly said that no matter how wrong it was, it was not the inspector's fault. The inspector had good intentions, but they, the city defense officers, made a mistake in their impulse. They also said sincerely that if Eugene needed any help, just let them know.

Eugene laughed and said:

"It's not a big deal, I'm just doing my routine work, and now things have been dealt with. You all know that I'm targeting the car dealership owner, Duna. We thought he was a bit suspicious before, but after a week of investigation, he has been ruled out of suspicion. We are all one of us. My work here is over, and I'm going to the next province soon."

In a united and friendly atmosphere, the two sides had a great conversation and left happily. After the meeting, Eugene hurriedly ordered someone to call the Governor of Novi over.

When Governor Novi hurried over, Eugene asked him seriously:

"Is there anything wrong with the group of people you brought? Is there anyone who accepted bribes?"

Governor Novi said confidently:

"Probably not. If they were really weak-minded, they would have surrendered when Yoda invaded. Those who came with me have all been commended by His Majesty the King. They can still understand whether it's better to eat every meal or die after eating one."

"That's good."

Eugene said directly, then his face darkened and he analyzed seriously:

"There's something wrong with the Norwegian city defense forces. With the current population turnover rate in various regions, we are strangers who appeared when the patrol arrived. No matter how dumb the city defense forces are, they can't fail to understand that we are patrols, so they must be lying."

"Based on the information we know so far, there is a huge network of interests in Norwei City. We have not been able to find any loopholes in this network so far. Moreover, they dared to follow me. This is no longer an ordinary case. I suspect that they may rebel after the matter is exposed, so we must strike hard!"

"The current situation is no longer under our control. They have more people, so we have to ask the higher-ups for help. But I'm afraid they will notice if I go back directly to the central government, so I will write a letter to report to them, and then continue my patrol. You can pretend you know nothing."

The next day, Eugene's team set out on the journey. In a corner of the farewell team, Duana quietly watched Eugene get on the carriage.

His eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions, and he kept repeating in his heart:

"It was so dangerous. We finally got these people away."

He hurried back to his residence, slumped down in a chair like a puddle of mud, and then his heart began to beat fast:

"That was an inspection from above, and we just fooled them like that?"

But a month later, Duna looked at the newspaper from the Central Bank Province. It did not say that his affair had been exposed, nor did it say that the Norwegian Province would be rectified. Only then did he feel completely relieved.

Maybe the higher-ups had no interest in a small person like him, and the inspectors ignored him.

At the same time, he immediately made up his mind and prepared to go to the Central Bank Province with the money, wondering if he could find a senior official who could protect him.

But what Duna didn't know was that after Eugene left, he immediately ordered the letter to be sent back to Helmingen.

The reason why action was not taken immediately was, firstly, because the distance was too far, and secondly, because the reporting chain was too long.

After being reported through layers of authorities, the letter finally arrived at the desk of John, the person whom Duna could never deal with no matter how much money he bribed.
