Wren was emaciated and had only an inch of black hair, he was a year younger than Pedy, the son of a carpenter in Crewe Castle, who was chosen by Grand Duke Nick when he was ten years old and sent to the imperial capital to become Pedi's servant.

When he first came to work at the security station, he was called "the nanny of the young master of Crewe City" by the guards in the station.

Soon, the news reached Pedy's ears, and he asked Owa who called Wren like that, and Owa told him the truth. The next day, a third of the guards were suspended for various reasons, and after that, the guards in the Seongnam police station no longer dared to talk about their superiors behind their backs, at least on the surface.

Wren never interrupted when Pedy spoke, he just nodded silently.

Within a few minutes, Pedi had finished explaining, and Wren took his leave and left.

When Pedi returned to his deerskin sofa, the coffee was already cold, but Pedi didn't mind, and took the trouble to take it and taste it slowly.

Look through the archives.

A magic photo is very conspicuous, a very young face.

The name of the under-secretary of the military department was Gordon Ayr, who had the title of baron, had no fief, and was only thirty-two years old.

He was a brilliant young man, and his father-in-law was the richest merchant in the imperial capital, the Marquis of Fit, and if nothing else, he could well become the Minister of War of the Reich before he was forty years old, accompanying the Emperor.

Now, though, it's all in vain.

Gordon Eyre was slain at just after five o'clock in the afternoon of March 28, 1215, when he was stabbed to death in his carriage, along with two of his retinue and a groom.

Moreover, the place where the crime occurred was actually at the gate of the military headquarters!

The guards of the military headquarters building on duty at that time and the officials passing by did not notice it at the first time, because there were too many carriages outside the gate of the military headquarters.

It wasn't until blood seeped into the carriage that the guards noticed the anomaly.

According to the investigation report of the Security Service, when they arrived at the scene, Baron Gordon Ayr had been dead for a full 45 minutes.

His Majesty the Emperor immediately summoned the Chief of Guards, Sir Gus El, and authorized him to mobilize 5,000 officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion to carry out a carpet search of the entire Suker City, and even today, half a month later, the entire imperial capital is in a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside.

But so far nothing has been found.

The agents questioned the guards on duty and the military officials who passed by during that time, and they all claimed to have found nothing out of the ordinary. So, so far, the only clues in the whole case are a set of wide footprints, the fatal wounds to the necks of the four deceased people from suspected dagger-like weapons, and the elemental poison in the bodies of the deceased.

There are too many objects of suspicion to be counted at the first time.

The detectives had to start the investigation with the officials who passed by during that time, but so far there were no new discoveries, and finally the scope of the investigation was expanded, but this way of investigating the case was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

...

After reading the dossier, Pedi casually threw a stack of materials on his desk, and then lay on the sofa with his eyes closed.

This is a rather troublesome case, to be honest, Pedi doesn't want to get involved rashly, he is very self-aware, this kind of case is not a level at all for him, a small sheriff.

But now he has a clue in his hand, and if he doesn't check it, it's itching.

Who can be willing?

"Pedi, Pedi. ”

I don't know how long it has been, but there is a familiar shouting outside.

Pedi smiled wryly and quickly put the file in the desk drawer.

Naturally, there was no knocking on the door, and it was Andy Barrett, Pedy's cousin, the youngest son of the Duke of Barrett in Twak City.

Since Pedy's older brother Omar returned to Crewe to take care of his territory, Andy's cousin has become Pedi's childhood friend, and they were trained as paladins in the Radiant Church and were both disciples of Bishop Geoffreyd.

But Andy didn't work hard without Peidi, and until now he couldn't use the holy power proficiently, and he didn't get the identity crystal of the paladin, so he couldn't claim that he was a paladin to the outside of the Church of Radiance.

"Hey, Pedy, okay, I'm going to the Divine Radiance Theater tonight, I think you should have bought tickets in advance, right?" Andy shouted as soon as he walked into the office, and after finishing speaking, he picked up the pastry on the table and began to enjoy it.

"Delicious pastries, you bought them from Marjory's pastry shop, how much do you get paid, and you can enjoy such pastries every day?" Andy said as he ate, when suddenly he smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice and asked, "You're not going to take bribes, are you?" I've heard that the security department has a lot of black income. ”

"Can't you be mouthed for such a delicious pastry? Pedi had a smile on her face.

"Okay, don't call me cousin outside. Andy said with a wry gesture, his curly blonde hair smeared with the characteristic oil of their Highland steppes, a white silk robe, and a neighing Highland horse embroidered on his chest, the crest of their Barrett family.

"Where's your ticket?" Andy asked again, expectant on his face.

Pedi shook his head, "I haven't bought it yet, I'm busy, it's not like you don't have nothing to do after training every day." ”

"Busy?" Andy scoffed, "busy dozing off in the office every day?" I would kindly remind you that tickets for the Divine Radiance Theater are in short supply every day, and if you don't get in line to buy tickets earlier, your two sisters will look forward to it for so long. ”

"That's what you're looking forward to. Pedi smiled helplessly.

"As you said, you invited us to the theater after receiving our first salary, but I have been dreaming of myself since I was ten years old. ”

Speaking of this, Andy lowered his voice and said: "I don't know why Archduke Patwede had to stipulate that children under the age of eighteen from aristocratic families must pay out of their own pockets when they participate in entertainment activities when formulating the 'law of nobility', doesn't his old family know that we have no source of income before the age of eighteen? Moreover, who stipulates that watching dramas is entertainment?"

"The most terrible thing is that our two respected fathers are still stupidly abiding by this law, don't they know that no one cares about the so-called 'noble law' for a long time?"

"Father and uncle are not wrong, this decree is very good at limiting the corruption and degeneration of the nobility. Pedi was quite in favor of the decree.

"What's the use? There are still a few families in the empire that believe in the 'law of nobility'?" Andy shook his head and gritted his teeth, "Except for our father... Hey, don't talk about those that don't, hurry up and buy tickets, otherwise there really won't be. ”

"As for it?" said Pedi.

"As for!" Andy's expression was as serious as if he were praying a holy prayer in the Glorious Chapel, "you'd better listen to me, if you don't want to disappoint your two sisters." ”

"Okay, you have the final say. Pedi quickly locked the desk drawer.
