Time flies, five days pass in a blink of an eye.

At around 10 a.m. on April 20, Pedi opened the door to his office as usual.

As soon as he walked into the room, the guard Grant held a stack of documents and said: "Sir, this is the case you need to read today, please be sure to read it carefully, because once you confirm and sign the documents, it means that the case is officially over, if you need to review the evidence or call witnesses, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible." ”

"Got it, you put it there. Pedi was used to Grant's verbosity, repeating the same words every time he brought the papers, and Pedi was almost memorizing them.

Pedi didn't intend to get Glenn to break this habit, because his reminder was very necessary, after all, Pedi's position was the final hurdle of all cases.

If, without thinking, Peidi signed his name and transferred the evidence and the prisoner to the court, once there was a mistake in the case, it would mean that an innocent person would lose his freedom for years, ten years, or a lifetime, and sometimes even his life.

Although it is not Pedi to investigate the case, he has the duty of supervision, so there can be no sloppiness in this work, especially in cases that may be sentenced by the court to hanging, Pedi will almost go through it from beginning to end.

After Grant left, Pedi looked through two cases at random, both of which were small dispute cases, which could be placed on Pedi's desk, and because there were nobles in it, Pedi did not hesitate to sign his name and then stamped his sheriff's seal.

When it came to the third case, he stopped, and today he didn't have the heart to deal with these things.

Five days earlier, on the afternoon of the 15th, after applying for several warrants for customs clearance and investigation from Pedi, Sergeant Owa hurried out of the city to the town of Tyre, northeast of Suker City, and has not returned yet, nor has he received any news.

Pedi even wondered if he had robbed the blacksmith's mother of gold and fled to other areas.

But after a simple investigation, it turned out that he was too suspicious.

What worries Pedy the most is that Sergeant Owa left with what may have been the murder weapon of the Under-Lieutenant of the Army, if ......

He didn't dare to think about it.

Since the day before yesterday, more than five blood eagles have been sent to the Sheriff's Office in Tyre, but none of them have received any response.

According to the normal situation, the security of Tyre Town is obliged to reply as soon as possible, and must also reply to the Blood Eagle letter sent by the security department at the level of the city guard of Tyre as soon as possible.

Five inquiries in a row have all been lost, which has never happened before!

Pedi had wanted to send the other guards to Tyre, but after thinking about it, he chose to remain silent because he didn't want everyone to know that he was pursuing the case of the under-secretary of the military department.

Even fools can feel the changes this case has brought to the upper echelons of the empire, and it is rumored that several times the court council has either been caught in a violent quarrel or fallen into a terrible silence.

Although Pedy was ostensibly indifferent to the case, he was not idle, and soon after Sergeant Owa left, he went to the headquarters to retrieve Sir Scott's personal file.

According to the archives, the knight joined the Lion Castle Guard ten years ago, and in his third month after joining the Guard, he was assigned to be Prince Sinda's bodyguard, and along with him, he was assigned to another person who was also a member of the Felder Lord's Jean family, Samp Reggie, the younger brother of Lob Reggie, lord of Sellkburg.

From this it can be seen that Empress Derbell trusted her maiden family more, and there did not seem to be much affection between her and Emperor Danediv XVI, and their union was just the product of the emergence of several great families to balance their power.

Sir Scott was not a man of peace, and in the ten years since he became Prince Sinda's bodyguard, no less than twenty cases have been recorded in the Guard Service alone, three of which have been homicides.

But Pedy doesn't think the killer is Sir Scott, and it is even possible that this Sir doesn't even know the basics.

If the dagger was really the murder weapon in the case of the under-secretary of the army, Sir Scott was just a scapegoat found by the murderer, nay, one of the scapegoats should be said.

But who could command the guards of an imperial prince to do things for him? and so sparingly?

Prince Sinda? It's impossible, he doesn't have any motives, he doesn't have to.

The people of the Jean family, it is possible, but it is not very likely, because they will definitely not let the people of their own family come forward in this kind of thing, and, as far as the current situation is concerned, they do not need to do it.

Pedi would love to ask for an update on the case, for example, the results of an internal investigation within the military department, or the results of an investigation within Baron Eyre's social circle, but only for the sake of it.

After all, he is the second son of the Prime Minister of the Empire, and if he does it too obviously, others will think that this is his father's will, and he does not want to be used by the Chief of Guards, Gus El, which is still politically wise Pedi has.

So, the only thing that can be done now is to trust Sergeant Owa and wait for him to have good news.

"Knock! knock!"

A quick knock on the door interrupted Pedy's thoughts,

"Come in!" Pedi closed the papers.

"Sir!" the guard who came in was Mo Lin, the head of the criminal investigation team, a capable young guard.

Merlin must have been running over, he held on to the handle of the door and gasped, "The news from the Blood Eagle has sent back Sergeant Owa..."

"What's the news?" Pedi jerked off the couch, "Damn it, tell me!"

Morin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He claims to have gotten important clues, but he seems to be in some trouble and needs our help. ”

"People are there, what kind of trouble?" Pei Di's eyelids jumped, and his originally relaxed mood suddenly tightened.

"Fifty miles east of the city, the ancestral cemetery was attacked by a group of unidentified people, armed with crossbows, and the number of people was between ten and twenty. Maureen reported quickly.

"Who would dare to attack the guards of the security department?" said Peddy's face changed.

Then he ordered: "Let the two squads of the Operations Section prepare." ”

He is not afraid of any battle, he is a paladin, he has no fear since he has the Holy Power, if he is cowardly and has no confidence in himself, then the Holy Power will leave him.

As he spoke, Pedi had already walked out of his office, and Morin was walking towards the backyard of the Operations Section.

"Morin..."As Morin left, Pei Di stopped him again, "You stay, go to the headquarters to ask for support, don't mention that case for the time being, I will explain to the headquarters in person!"

"But..."

"It's an order. Pedi didn't want to explain, and he walked quickly towards the equipment room.
