Chapter 0450: Investigation Progress
"What, you did it to women and children, Mr. Ashley, I always thought you were only going to threaten a barkeeper, but you have a bit of a conscience, and now it seems that my judgment has gone wrong, so please leave, I don't welcome you here. The owner of the bar also ordered the eviction and refused to provide any help.
Seemingly abandoned by everyone here, Ashley had never felt so uncomfortable, as if it was more uncomfortable than if he was wanted by the Duchy of Harris.
"Damn, what did I do. Ash smashed his head with his fist, and he had to do something about it, or he would feel uneasy and guilty.
He found that his heart began to change, for Susan it was only a task, but for Carolina, a widow with three children, he felt guilty and uneasy, and the task was not even as important as the other person's heart.
"Well, Ashley, it's no big deal to apologize, and it's much easier to pluck up courage than to prove your innocence. Ashley encouraged himself, bought a bouquet of roses on the street and rushed to the grocery store.
Carolina seemed to be a different person, polite and kind. "Mr. Ashley, if you need anything, the grocery store has everything and is able to meet your needs. ”
"I'm sorry for what happened earlier, I'm here to apologize to you and the children, I don't need anything, I need your forgiveness. Ashley handed the rose up.
Carolina took a look. "Then you should buy some snacks that the kids like, these roses are useless. "She's like she's entertaining an ordinary guest at the moment.
Ashley put down the roses. "Of course, this is only the first step, and I would like to invite you as a family to join me for dinner, if you can. ”
"No, you don't have to, we're just a customer-owner relationship. Carolina thought of something. "I will explain to people that it was just a misunderstanding and that you can go back to the hotel and continue your stay. ”
"If you think I apologized to you and the kids just to be able to stay in a hotel, then I'd rather you don't forgive me. "Ashley was quite disappointed. "I'm not here for that, if I want to stay here, I can pay for the hotel, I'm here to sincerely apologize to you, and to take you and the children to dinner. ”
Carolina could tell the man was serious, and reached for the towel on the counter. "If you want to hurry, you better help me with the work. ”
Ashley understood what that meant, that it didn't matter if he did some work, he could do the laundry, just clean, and the children were added to the labor queue.
The old man of the town sat in his room, watching the scene on the magic orb. "Looks faster than I thought, Paladin, you'll have to pick up your pace. ”
The city of Caron is in a state of emergency again, the Secretary of State for Defense is missing, Harris V is almost driven crazy, the kidnappers are quite arrogant and bold, but the investigation does not seem to have made much progress, at least there seems to be no new news from the Sheriff's Department and the Praetorian Guard, and he misses Ashley who betrayed him a little.
If Ashley is still by his side, he will definitely be able to gain something at this time, Ashley has helped him investigate a lot of things before, and he can always gain in the shortest time, but at this moment it is already in the past, and he can only rely on the only remaining strength now.
As the leader of the Praetorian Guard, Icardi was summoned to report on the investigation and information about the disappearance of the Minister of Defense, and he had no intention of revealing information about Adele, which would anger Harris V and put him in danger unless he had solid evidence.
"That's the way it is at the moment, with only a little eyebrows, at least I'm sure that the mastermind of this matter is quite familiar with the palace, and it is very likely that the murderer is still living in the palace. Icardi briefly mentioned some information, and his eyes swept over Adele, who had come to inquire about the news.
He wanted to see Adele's expression change, and give the other party a warning, it was best for the other party to panic because of his words, and show more horses' feet, his spy was already staring at Adele, as long as the other party was out of the way, he would be able to close the net.
"The murderer lives in the palace?" said Harris V, believing the leader of the Praetorian Guard to be insane. "Icardi, if the other party lives in the palace, I don't think the Minister of Defense will be missing at this moment. ”
"Your Majesty, I'm sure she lives in the palace, and she has companions, more than one companion to help her. Icardi said firmly.
Adele sat in her position, it seemed that Icardi did have some important information, otherwise she would never say so, but not all, because there was a problem with the other party's judgment, she had no help, she was the only one, and the disappearance of the Minister of Defense and those subordinates had nothing to do with her, and there was another group of people.
She suddenly had a new idea, she should cooperate with the gang and let the kidnappers become her helpers, at least to disrupt the audio-visual, or to use the gang to deal with Icardi, which is more realistic than doing it herself.
Someone walked in, Thuram and Modric, who had also been summoned, along with two paladins from the Holy See.
"Your Majesty, based on the information I have received, I think this matter should have something to do with a certain girl, but I am not sure yet, and I need to investigate more closely. Modric spoke about his investigation. "Of course, my investigation is currently limited to the missing Minister of Justice Insuya, and the two princesses have no eyebrows at this time. ”
Modric found the guy who liked to add rose incense to the potion, an alchemist who was not very strong, and the apothecary told him that the potion that killed Alain did come from his hand, and that the person who bought it was a girl, but it was not clear the identity of the girl, but the girl's identity was quite noble, as can be seen from the currency used.
The Duchy of Harris uses gold, but gold from the royal family is usually engraved with a royal motif, and those used to buy potions are engraved with a royal motif.
Modric used some potions to probe the breath of the gold, and finally found some eyebrows, and the girl with that aura was sitting in front of her, sitting upright.
This girl is Adele, Adele has a teacher-student relationship with Alain, which can make Alain lose his vigilance, and only such a person can make Alain inadvertently recruited.
It's just that there is no way to prove that Adele has anything to do with the disappearance of the two princesses, and Harris V has something to do with his two daughters, so Modric can only respond cautiously unless there is conclusive evidence.
Thuram also ran into a problem, as Home Secretary Samel had supernatural powers that blocked his search for information, and all he could find was information about Craig, unable to confirm that Samel had anything to do with the disappearance of the two princesses.
So his answer was equally cautious. "Your Majesty, my investigation will also take time, and I can't reveal much at this time, but I am sure that I will give you a satisfactory result soon. ”
The two paladins, accompanied by the Sheriff's Office, had enough access to more evidence, but most of the evidence was useless and did not help the case progress, so their investigation was also deadlocked, but it was confirmed that the matter had something to do with supernatural forces.
Harris V hadn't heard any useful information from the unfed report, it had been six days since his daughter disappeared, and he could tell that these damn guys weren't cooperating, but were on their own, which didn't do the investigation any good.
"If you understand my feelings, then you should cooperate like friends and partners, and not report different progress here. ”
Leaving the palace, several people surveying had no interest in Harris V's proposal, it was a game, and no one wanted to throw in the towel.
Thuram and Modric had heard what Icardi knew, and the other seemed to be investigating more than the two had anticipated, which meant that the Praetorian Guard leader had kept some things from them and kept some information private, which was not a good sign.
They decided to invite the leader of the Praetorian Guard to do it, have a drink, and then get more valuable information from him, which would be easy for them to deal with an ordinary person.
Of course, the two paladins rejected the offer, and they left with the people from the Sheriff's Department, and the guys from the system investigated just like those public officials, just doing their jobs, sleeping at night, eating on time, and maybe taking a break on holidays, so they didn't pose any threat.
"They want to spy on you, use some supernatural powers, because they find out that you are hiding some information. The voice of the skeleton mage appeared in Icardi's mind, and he said warily, "Then I should reject them and not give them any chance." ”
"No, with me, they won't get any information, maybe they will reveal some news to you, promise them, just like friends. ”
Icardi said enthusiastically: "Of course, as His Majesty said, we should cooperate and share information, no problem, I will have a drink." ”
In a small bar, where three people are seated, the magician Thuram first uses magic on his wine glass, which can completely expose the inner world of the infected, and he can see all the information in the other person's heart.
Icardi took the glass and drank it down. "So now please tell me what you know, trust is the foundation of cooperation. ”
Thuram watched as the leader of the Praetorian Guard drank his wine, excitement appeared on his face, he succeeded, the news of the other party's heart needed to touch the other person's body, and he reached out to touch Icardi's arm. "The leader of the Praetorian Guard, you are right, we should trust each other. ”
Icardi quickly removed his arm and exclaimed, "Damn, Mr. Thuram, please be respectful, I don't have a penchant for men." ”
