Chapter 548 Ying's Brainstorm
"?"
Hearing Paimon's words, Ying blinked in confusion, as if she couldn't believe that this matter could be such a... coincidence.
Although she said that, she still subconsciously turned around to look in the direction Paimon was looking.
When she saw with her own eyes the white-haired little boy who was exactly the same as the "Catepilla" described by the jailer, her golden eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
You never say it, you never say it, there really are such coincidences in this world.
Seemingly a little anxious, Paimon immediately leaned over and whispered in Ying's ear:
"Hey! Ying, should we chase him? And then ask him where he came from? After all, he is a suspicious person whose files are missing..."
Hearing this, Ying did not act rashly, but glanced at Paimeng beside him and said helplessly:
"But our target is not him, but Lenore, who he is taking care of."
"Don't get the core of the problem wrong. We just want to contact Lenore through him. Just like Chang Ming said - if he is a serious criminal who has not yet completed his sentence, we can only use lure to make Lenore leave this place voluntarily."
Having said that, Ying's gaze continued to follow the conspicuous white hair, as if she wanted to find Lenore in this way.
Although Catepila has now been transferred to the light criminal area, it does not mean that he will be the type who can be taken out of Melo Petersburg in a legal manner.
To be on the safe side, and to avoid causing trouble for Chang Ming, she had to confirm this matter first.
Just as Ying was observing Katepila's movements and thinking about the follow-up plan... Katepila suddenly turned around and looked in their direction, then began to wander around the light criminal area without any rules.
"...?!"
Looking at Caterpilla's rather deliberate action, Ying's eyes widened slightly, and her assessment of Caterpilla's danger level slightly increased.
She had done this many times during her past travels, but... this was the first time she was discovered so quickly.
Of course, this also reflects one point - Caterpillar is not a child at all, but a sophisticated and insightful adult.
It can even be said that Katepila's insight is one of the best among the people Ying knows. The only people who can compare with him are Linny and Linnet who have been specially trained by the Hearth House...
He is extremely strong, very fast, very perceptive, and extremely mature, but he is also a "criminal" with no record...
Such a person...would he really take care of a little girl without asking for anything in return?
Combined with what Chang Ming had said before about the possibility of "a serious criminal who has not yet completed his sentence", Ying suddenly thought of a very terrifying conclusion.
"Catpila... is that really his name? Or... is it really his intention to take care of Lenore?"
"Does he want to use Lenore to get away with it and leave Melo Petersburg?!"
Thinking of this, Ying's heart was already filled with turmoil, but at the same time she also felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, they had just stopped Paimeng, otherwise if they had rushed straight to find him, they might have really been in danger.
Moreover...they are not as familiar with the terrain of Melopenerburg as Catepila, a criminal who has been imprisoned for a long time, so they won't be able to escape even if they want to.
"...Let's go find Chang Ming and Leosili and discuss with them before taking any action."
After saying that, Ying hurriedly walked towards Leosley's office.
Paimeng looked at Ying who was going away quickly in confusion, as if he didn't understand what was going on. But... since Ying said so, he decided to go back and discuss it first.
Just after the two turned and left, Caterpillar crawled out of the pipe of Melo Petersburg. His black eyes quietly watched their departing backs, and then he fell into thought.
Not only is he strong and fast, his hearing is also much better than that of ordinary people.
Even though Ying had tried to lower his voice as much as possible, he still heard some information more or less.
"What...are they looking for Lenore for? Are they Lenore's relatives?"
But soon, Catepila denied his idea.
"No... they don't look like they are from Fontaine, so they shouldn't be Lenore's relatives..."
"Leosley? The man sent by the Duke? Why did he come to see Lenore? Is he going to send her away?"
Catepila frowned deeply, as if he was struggling over whether he should trust these two people.
But soon, this trace of entanglement faded quickly, and was replaced by relief and determination.
"She should have been exposed to the sun and rain, rather than spending her childhood in the bottomless sea or in a prison..."
"Let's go and see what they want to do. If they really want to send Lenore out... I will spare no effort to help them."
"After all... this is one of the few ways for a "sinner" like me to "atone for my sins."
Caterpillar nodded slightly, then disappeared into Melo Petersburg again.
......
At the same time, in the Duke's office.
Leosli looked at Chang Ming, who was drinking tea calmly in front of him, with some astonishment, as if he was a little surprised.
"You mean... the members of the Narcissus Cross Society are all innocent? They haven't done anything against the law?"
"I didn't say that. This secret society that is planning to resurrect the evil dragon Erinus is indeed dangerous to Fontaine. What's more... they are still conducting illegal biological experiments and human body modification. This is undeniable."
Chang Ming shrugged, put down the steaming teacup, and said:
"The focus now is on Caterpillar. His mission at the time was to revive Erinus, but the final result was "unsuccessful resurrection", so the charge was determined to be "attempted to cause a major threat to Fontaine."
"According to the Fontaine Law of four hundred years ago, Caterpillar should have been imprisoned in Melo Petersburg for more than two hundred years, but that old law is definitely not applicable now..."
"If I remember correctly, this crime would get you life imprisonment even now."
Leosli stroked his chin and looked at the law maker in front of him, seemingly unable to guess what he was going to do.
"That's right. Regardless of the laws of the past or the present, Katepila's guilt cannot be washed away, even if he has lived for more than four hundred years due to some special trait."
"But... the law is improving. The previous law did not have the option of "cooperating in investigating a case", but now it does. What's more... the people from the Narcissus Cross Society have already stepped forward on their own initiative."
"you mean...?"
Leosli's eyes widened slightly, as if he had thought of Chang Ming's next move.
"Fontaine knows very little about the Narcissus Cross Society. Most of what he knows is from the "Gestalt" and "Resurrection of the Dragon" cases."
"Since Caterpillar is a former member of the Narcissus Cross Society and calls himself a sinner, he is the best way for us to understand the Narcissus Cross Society."
"Plus... I recently saw with my own eyes that Jacob Ingold, a former member of the Narcissus Cross Society, was planning to revive Erinus again."
"This is one of the few opportunities we have. They are in the dark and we are in the light. Only with more information... can we better protect Fontaine."
