On April 21, 1215 in the continental calendar, after the Imperial Council, the Prime Minister Duke Nick, the Chief Bailly of the Imperial Court, and the Earl of Tus, the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer, jointly investigated and handled the corruption case of the military department, under the personal supervision of Sir Gus El, the head of the Security Service.

Within two hours of the meeting, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Duke Nick, signed nearly fifty exile lists.

Nearly a hundred people were secretly arrested.

The local nobles who stayed in the imperial capital for various reasons were also expelled by the guards one after another.

......

......

The town of Tyre...

After analyzing the case, Peidi and Hanina divided the task force into two groups.

The first group is led by Hanina, who chooses to be stationed in the town of Tyre to investigate the specifics of the attack in Tyre.

The second group, led by Pedi, naturally began to track down the attack on the guards of the Ancestral Graveyard and the lost dagger of Sergeant Owa on his head.

On the way back to the Ancestral Cemetery, Pedi encountered reinforcements rushing to Tyre from the Guard headquarters, and their squadron leader told Pedi that the agents who remained at the Ancestral Cemetery had picked up some clues.

Ling Peidi was overjoyed by the news, after all, he had heard too much bad news recently.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Pei Di and his party arrived at the ancestral cemetery.

"What's going on?" asked one of the agents who stayed behind at the graveyard of the ancestors.

"Based on the clues left by Sergeant Owa, we found a box in a thorn bush two miles away from the scene of the crime. A young agent with curly reddish-brown hair replied, his gray cloth gowning a little shiny in the scorching sun.

"Have you opened it?" asked Pedi coldly, staring at the purple wood box.

"Of course, I have that permission. "The agent was brought by Hanina," and there was a nice dagger in it, as well as a note with a code word that needed to be crossed. ”

"Can you translate?"

"Not yet. The agent shook his head, "I said it needed a code, maybe go to Sergeant Ova's house or his office to find it." ”

"Yes!" Pedi nodded, "What else did you find?"

"That dagger..."

"Forget about the dagger yet!" Pedi closed the purple wood box, "Your mission is to decipher the code words left by Sergeant Owa as quickly as possible... Harus, you partner with him. ”

Pedi needs Harus to keep an eye on the agent, after all, based on a series of recent events, Pedi has reason to believe that there is a dark line of murderers at the guards.

"Yes, sir!" Harus agreed, quickly.

The young agent shrugged, "You have the final say, sir. ”

"What's your name. ”

"You can call me Buck. The young agent replied.

......

In a wheat field on a farm five miles southeast of the town of Tyre, Hanina and Perus stared ugly at a pile of corpses burned by fire in the middle of the wheat field.

Reinforcements from the guards and the town's city guards maintained law and order.

The burning smell of Perlus in his nose and the smoke in the air made him frown, "There are twenty to thirty corpses at least, this is big enough! ”

"I don't rule it out. Hanina frowned, "But why would they do it?"

"Destroying corpses, the usual means!" replied Perus casually.

"But why is it so rushed, and so high-profile?" said Hannina, frowning, "that's not what a smart person should do. ”

"There was a reason why they had to do it. Peruth said.

"What is the reason?"

"These people can't be found... Well, the people of Tyre know them!" Perus's mind suddenly brightened.

Hannina's grim gaze stared at the pile of corpses like black charcoal, "Inform the reinforcements as soon as possible to investigate the nearest missing person in Tyre." ”

She was telling her assistant about it.

"Are you suspicious of the people of Tyre, or are you suspicious of the nobles?"

Perus asked, looking at the departing assistant.

Hannina nodded, "You can say so, but—" she shook her head, obviously unorganized, and after a few seconds of silence she asked, "You have been in Hatis Town for ten years, and you should be very aware of the forces around here, and if you think about it, who can organize an armed force of at least fifty people in a short period of time, and at the same time completely obey him." ”

"Do you mean nobles or bandits?"

"Do you think bandits would dare to storm a town's police office?"

Perus smiled and said, "Maybe?"

Hanina shook her head noncommittally, "Let's talk about these nobles in Tyre first. ”

Perus was stunned, tugged at the white-rimmed belt around his waist, stared at the stenching black corpse and said, "Tell me who you suspect, we don't have to go around in so many circles, sir. ”

Hanina's face wrinkled slightly when she heard this, and then stretched out again.

"Baron Lil!" she said.

Perus showed a sure expression, "At the moment, he is the most suspicious, anyway, half of the squadron's armed forces entered the town, and as the commander of the city defense army, he didn't know, this can't be said... However, it is also possible that these people were arranged in the town of Tyre in advance?"

"I'll check them one by one, but at the moment, Baron Lill is the most suspicious, and it's best to investigate. Hanina was resolute.

"As far as I know, Baron Lill is a good man, of all the serving officials in Tyre, and at least, he retains a certain sense of nobility... Well, at last night's banquet, you should have seen that he was very prestigious in Tyre, not because of his position, but because of his prestige and his fair manner. ”

Perus gave a general introduction.

Hanina looked at the nearby city guards and said as if muttering, "Baron Lil's family is very rich!"

"Of course, half of the farms around the town of Tyre belong to their family. Perus explained.

Hanina said coldly: "In the eyes of these traditional nobles, family interests are more important than honor. ”

"I really can't think of any benefit to his family in attacking the sheriff's office. "We should look at the cause of this case, that is, the dagger in your mouth, which may be the murder weapon that assassinated Baron Gordon Ayre," Perus said. ”

"What do you want to say?"

Perus pointed to all this around him, "In fact, many things can't stand up to investigation, look at all this in front of you, the more things you want to cover up, the more things they do, the more you do, the greater the chance of revealing flaws, we don't even have to take the initiative, we just need to wait slowly..."

"We only have fifteen days, and if we don't solve the case in fifteen days, Sir Gus El may step down, do you know what that means for the 'Radiant Power'?"

Perus shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I don't care, but we can only wait for the detectives to investigate the girl's response, and the cause of the townspeople's assault on the town government, I have a gut feeling that there must be some connection here." Believe me, sir, those attackers are so big, and we put in so much police force, we will have results in three days at the latest. ”

He flicked the dagger at his waist as he spoke, "In the meantime, we can use the Dark Line to spy on those who are suspicious, such as the Baron Lill you just mentioned, but not with our overt powers. ”

He said as he pointed to the uniformed guards.
