Chapter 149 Favoritism (1)
The commander stood in the cell and stared at Tis for a while, then suddenly smiled with a big smile: "Tis, if I remember correctly, you have been imprisoned for three days, right?"
Tis's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately smiled back at the commander: "Your Highness, you remembered it wrongly. Today is already the fourth day."
"Really? It's been that long."
Tis took a small step towards the commander and said, "Your Highness, let me remind you that according to the Criminal Law of the Leeds Galaxy, if there is not enough evidence to prosecute me, even if you are the commander, you only have the authority to detain me for forty-eight hours. Now, both forty-eight hours have passed."
When Regila heard what Tis said, she immediately looked at the commander nervously.
Lu Xiu looked thoughtful. He stroked his chin and hesitated for a while before saying, "That's right. Even if I'm the commander, I only have the authority to detain you for forty-eight hours."
Regila heard that the commander was probably trying to release Tis for personal reasons, so she immediately interrupted and said, "Brother Lu Xiu, Tis is the most suspected person who kidnapped Ning Hua, you can't just let her go."
Lu Xiu ignored Regila's words. He patted Tis's shoulder rhythmically a few times and said, "It is my fault as the commander that I let you stay in jail for a few more days. Since the law of the Leeds system stipulates so, I can't use my position to do anything to you. You should pack up and get out of jail now."
Tis looked at the commander's hand pressing on her shoulder and raised her chin arrogantly: "That's exactly what should be done. Your Highness can get more support from the people if you act according to the rules."
Seeing the sudden turn of events, Regila was a little confused. She looked at Tis who had already started to pack her clothes, and she asked anxiously: "Brother Lu Xiu, are you just going to let her go like this?"
Lu Xiu turned his head and looked at Regila: "Weren't you good friends before? Why are you unhappy that I let her go?"
Regila quickly shook her head: "No, no, I... I'm just worried that if Tis leaves, it will be even harder to find Ning Hua's whereabouts."
Lu Xiu turned his head and looked at the nimble Tees. In just a dozen seconds, Tees had packed his bag and stood back in front of him.
"Your Highness, I don't have much stuff, so I can leave now. After I leave, please cancel my detention record so as not to disturb my normal life."
Lu Xiu nodded: "Let's go, I'll take you to get your personal belongings."
"Thank you, Your Highness." After saying this, Tis didn't even look at Regila, he walked directly to the iron gate and knocked on it.
After the iron gate opened, the guard of the Imperial Guard opened the door, glanced at Tis who was knocking on the door, and then looked at the commander: "Your Highness?"
"She can be released from jail now, take her to get her personal belongings, and then let her go."
The imperial guard said nothing more and saluted Lu Xiu: "Yes, Your Highness."
Tis took her personal belongings and followed the imperial guards out of the prison yard without looking back at the commander and Regila who were not far behind her.
Even when they walked onto the bustling streets of the imperial capital, Tis's heart was still pounding. The commander's tap on her shoulder just now was a secret signal, implying that she should take care of herself.
Why did the commander let her go? Arsenie's teeth marks and genes were enough to prove that she was a strong suspect. No one would say anything if she was locked up for a few more years, but he just let her go?
Unexpectedly, the person who was willing to trust her in the end was the commander. While Tis was moved by Lu Xiu, she also felt a little resentful towards Sid.
