Sergeant Owa was well arranged, but their opponents were clearly more cunning, and the clues Martha had obtained were meaningless.

Pei Di sighed, and said secretly in his heart: It's really not that easy.

He thought for a moment and said, "Use your means to interrogate the guard named Mosya, and send a clever man to explore the villa that was used as a place of trading. ”

Sergeant Owa's death made Pedi less likely to trust the agents within the Guards.

Martha didn't talk nonsense, she secretly wrote down Pedy's assignment and said, "I think I should leave." ”

As she spoke, she looked out the window at the group of people standing in the corner of the street, her most loyal men.

Pedi nodded and stopped talking.

Martha saw that Pei Di allowed no nonsense, and stood up and left directly.

Pedi watched intently at Martha who was leaving, she was more careful than Pedi, and deliberately left the two of them behind after leaving the street to prevent anyone from following her.

Pedi waited another half an hour before checking out and leaving.

After returning to the police station, he changed into a cotton ordinary short-sleeved regular clothes and left through the back door in a low-key manner.

This time, he was going to the 'Manvier' bar where Sergeant Ova had left the Imperial Capital.

He didn't take a single person with him.

He intends to investigate the case himself.

Because, there is some indication that there is a hidden line of murderers inside the security service.

The only thing Pedi can trust now is himself.

......

Lion Castle back garden.

The largest and most beautiful garden in the Empire.

This is the place that every girl in the empire dreams of having.

In the middle courtyard of the garden, Prince Sinda and his mother, Empress Diberre, sat on soft chairs and enjoyed the sun after seeing off two visiting noblewomen.

The prince turned sideways and picked up the teacup, and in the mist of the tea, a handsome face was revealed, with scarlet eyes as bright as the wrath of a lion, and his mother's golden hair shining in the sunlight.

"After the daily knight training, it is to receive these flattering nobles, the goddess is above, spare me. Prince Sinda had a palpable look of helplessness on his face.

"It's your duty, kid. Empress Diberter looked at her son lovingly, "These people's families are the foundation of the empire, and the royal family needs their support. ”

"No!" the prince obviously had his own opinion, "the nobles are sucking at the foundations of the empire, and they are like parasites lying on the body of the empire, greedily sucking on provisions. ”

"We are interdependent, boy, and you will soon understand that. ”

Empress Diberter did not refute or approve of the prince's views.

"How's the case of Baron Gordon Ayr going?" the prince, apparently not wanting to dwell on his mother on the matter, turned to ask the guard Samp Reggie about his interests.

"There are some clues, but there is not much progress, and the murderer does not seem to be so simple. Semp immediately replied, "I heard that the security department suffered heavy losses when investigating this case, and even the highest local security station was uprooted. ”

"Oh?" said Prince Sinda, a little surprised, "when?"

Semp said: "Just a few days ago, I heard that His Majesty had asked the guard department to solve the case within a time limit. ”

"This is no longer a simple murder!" said Prince Sinda with his hands on his cheeks.

Empress Dueper smiled, "But now you don't have to think about these problems, the Imperial Ministers will take care of them." ”

"Ministers of the Empire, except for Duke Nick and Earl Tus, everyone else is nothing more than a bunch of shit, and they should have relinquished their positions to more capable young people. ”

Prince Sinda is still very familiar with the current situation of the empire, "Sir Gus El of the Security Service should be anxious by now, I don't know if he can keep his position as director, if he is ousted, this case will drag on for a long time." ”

"You seem to be concerned about this case. The queen looked at her son strangely.

"I just care about Baron Gordon Ayr. The prince looked at the cluster of roses in the garden, "He proposed substantive peace negotiations with the orcs, I think this is a good suggestion, look at the elves and dwarves now, haven't we been at peace with them for more than three hundred years?"

There was a faint shock on the prince's face, "It is rumored that the walls of Anku Fortress have been infected red in these three hundred years of war, and the surrounding earth has become black and shiny, and whenever the sun burns the earth, scarlet blood will ooze from the ground, how many lives and how many people's blood must be used to create such a hell on earth!"

"We should stop this tragedy from happening!" the prince looked at his mother, "Moreover, the empire invests up to half a million gold coins in Anku Fortress every year, and if a truce with the orcs can be achieved in the true sense of the word, not only will it save a lot of money every year, but at the same time, the trade with the orcs can be exchanged for tons and tons of gold in the western continent." ”

The prince wanted to be in a speech, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, imagining in his mind the picture of orcs and humans living in peace.

"Perhaps Baron Gordon Ayr's proposal is worth considering. Familiar voices and familiar footsteps came.

The prince and queen hurriedly got up.

Emperor Rawbot had approached the two of them when they had turned.

"However, the hatred between orcs and humans cannot be resolved by negotiation. Laubert patted his son on the shoulder, "The ancestors tried more than a hundred years ago, but in exchange for a bloody killing. ”

"There's nothing that can't be resolved through negotiation, it's just a matter of chips. The prince retorted.

"Yes, it's a matter of chips. His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "But the Empire can't afford to pay that much leverage, and it's best not to let the orcs step past the Anku Fortress until the hatred between the orcs and humans is lifted." ”

"There will always be a day when it will be resolved. The prince insisted on his point of view.

Laubert shrugged, "Then I'll leave it to you, future Emperor." ”

"Me?" the prince was stunned, then frowned, he had obviously not thought about it.

"Haha!" Laubert laughed loudly and patted Sinda on the shoulder, "this question may not be answered even if you think about it for a hundred years...... Go, find your knight instructor and study again, you should learn from the second son of the Reagan family, he is only nineteen years old now, and he is already a full-fledged paladin. ”

"You mean Pedi, what's the use of being a paladin, saving only those who can see him. "Prince Sinda has higher aspirations.

"If you want to save more people, you must first save those who are within your sight. Laubert's gaze became stern, "Mark my words, arrogance and self-esteem will cost you." ”

The prince was a little unconvinced, although he had a good relationship with Pedi, but his father's words made him very uncomfortable, "Even if Pedi becomes the most powerful paladin, he will only be my retainer." ”

Laubert frowned, "After you married Penny, he will be your brother, you..."

Sometimes there are things that you haven't experienced yourself, and you won't understand the truth.

"Go to your knight instructor and tell him that your knight lessons are doubled every day. Emperor Laubert finally said so.
