After a night's voyage, Luke's airship docked at the airship transit tower at the airport on the western outskirts of Saint-Lun.

Walking down from the tower, there were no flowers, no applause, no crowds of people welcoming them, only the soldiers on guard checking their documents.

And airships coming in and out of their heads.

This surprised Shelley, who accompanied him. She repeatedly confirmed the surrounding environment and landmarks, and after confirming that this was indeed the imperial capital, she complained dissatisfiedly: "Chief Inspector, what's wrong with the people in the imperial capital?" No one has come to greet you, but you are the de facto control of Raging Waves......"

Luke popped out a spark to stop Shelley, who was unobtrusive, continued, he looked at the Imperial soldiers who were checking their identification on the side, and said to the Imperial agents who came with him: "We are Imperial agents, and it is normal that no one will come to greet us!" The city of St. Lun is not the same as the city of the Angry Waves, and it is even more different from the Cape District. Give me a little restraint, don't walk sideways everywhere like crabs. ”

Shelley, who was reprimanded, immediately straightened his attitude: "Yes, Chief Inspector." It's not that I haven't been to the imperial capital, and I know that there are people with backgrounds and identities everywhere. Don't worry, if there are any cases here, it won't be my turn to investigate. ”

"Your people, you are responsible for taking care of them."

Luke looked around.

The western suburbs airport is different from the royal airport where the airship docked yesterday under a clear sky, and it is a very busy civilian airport. Imperial soldiers and airport managers keep order and keep the place running in order.

Although because of Luke's special identity and the recent events in Angry Waves City, all parties in Angry Waves City did not dare to come to greet him publicly, even the eldest princess did not send anyone in order not to provoke Augustine the Great. But Luke still saw a few eyes from the people around him who kept quietly looking here.

Even the Imperial soldiers who checked their documents knew that they were very powerful at a glance.

The imperial capital seems to be cold to itself, but it is not indifferent at all!

Luke opened a piece of candy and waited as he ate.

After a long while, Karina, who had finished negotiating with the Imperial soldiers, walked over.

"Chief Inspector, our identities have been confirmed, and we can enter the city of Saint-Lun. The headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Agency did not arrange a vehicle for us, and we needed to leave the airport and find a car to leave.

Chief Inspector, this is not what I imagined...... We don't seem to be welcome. ”

Luke took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then said, "No, we are facing the best welcome now. Let's go, Viscount Iscolan has already arranged a car for us, as well as a place to stay.

Settle down first, and then see how the imperial capital is ready to face me. ”

Putting his pocket watch in his pocket, Luke lowered the brim of his hat and walked forward with his cane. Dressed in deerskin boots and a short skirt with a folded skirt, Karina followed him with a briefcase.

Behind them are the Imperial agents led by Shelley and Pisco.

Sandpaper, boiling and heavy equipment go overland together and it will take a few days to arrive.

Leaving the airport in the western suburbs, the convoy headed for the center of Saint-Lun City in a vehicle arranged by Viscount Iscoran.

On the road, Shelley, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the young man driving from time to time, and his hand never left the handle of the gun.

The feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake made the young man smile and say, "Black Mamba...... No, it should be called Miss Shelley. Don't be so wary of me, I can't concentrate on driving.

Introduce yourself.

My name is Fast Legs, the first-class stabbing blade of the Brotherhood of Blades. Lord Viscount felt that the Chief Inspector needed manpower in the Emperor, so he asked me to listen to the Chief Inspector's dispatch. I'm quite familiar with the situation here, especially the downtown, which the big guys don't bother to pay attention to.

You can trust me. ”

"I don't believe you, the chief inspector makes the decision." Shelley still maintained a hands-on posture, turning his head to look at Luke, who was sitting behind.

Luke had long recognized Fast Legs.

"Fast legs...... His real name is Priestley Harold, who was born in the lower part of St. Lun and was orphaned at the age of 7. At the age of nine, he was adopted by an orphanage run by the Brotherhood of Blades and trained as an Assassin.

At the age of 14, he completed his first mission and officially became an assassin of the Brotherhood of Blades...... Drive steadily, a good assassin shouldn't be so unfocused.

At the age of 18, due to a mistake, some of the muscles and tendons in his legs were fused by magic during the mission. This was supposed to be the end of your Assassin career, but you meet Viscount Iscoran's father, who not only spent a fortune to reshape your legs, but also completely remodeled your entire body.

As a result, the Brotherhood of Blades did not have Priestley Harold, and there was an assassin named Quicklegs. ”

Luke's words made the originally cynical-looking fast legs tense. He steadied his trembling hand and asked in an unkind tone, "This secret is only known to the old master and the master, and they shouldn't tell you."

How do you know? ”

"Hehe......" Luke smiled and didn't answer, continuing to look at the street outside the car.

After Shelley knew that her fast legs were credible, she relaxed slightly, and she smiled and said, "There's nothing we don't know about our chief inspector." You don't know, when I first met the chief inspector, his underwear was all clean. ”

"Ahh

The fast legs of the car and Karina in the back seat let out an exclamation and looked at Shelley incredulously.

Shelley, realizing the ambiguity caused by his words, hastened to make amends: "It's just a metaphor...... I'm talking about my secrets, secrets that only me and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess know. ”

Oh......

Speaking of the eldest princess, Karina asked Luke puzzled: "Chief Inspector, why didn't His Highness send someone to pick you up?" This is also not the way to the headquarters of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, shouldn't you report to Your Highness first? ”

Luke replied casually, "We have done too much in Angry Waves City, which has made Her Royal Highness the eldest princess a little unhappy. ”

"I don't understand."

Shelley joined the conversation: "I don't understand either...... Grover is dead, his comrades are either dead or arrested, and the whole of Angry Waves is under the control of the Chief Inspector. With such a rich city as a gift, His Highness should be happy. ”

Luke replied, "Too much." I was unprepared for the change in the situation in Angry Waves, let alone His Highness, as well as our Emperor and the ministers of the Empire.

For many people in the empire, Angry Waves City is a balance of power and interests. The new aristocracy of the empire was too large and complex, and it was not a single entity. The City of Furious Waves is in their hands, and all parties in the empire can benefit from it. Therefore, although His Majesty knows that the outflow of wealth in Angry Waves City is serious, he can accept this state.

Now it's a person who benefits. Even if the empire could gain more wealth from Raging Waves than before, His Majesty would not be as relieved as before. ”

"Raging Waves City makes Her Royal Highness the eldest princess suspicious of His Majesty!" Karina suddenly realized, but asked suspiciously: "Isn't Your Highness the daughter of Your Majesty, or the closest daughter?" ”

At this time, the fast legs replied in front: "Those who care about family affection cannot sit on the throne." We're here...... 236 Copper Mulberry Avenue. ”

Karina still didn't understand something, but when she heard the address, she forgot to continue asking. She looked out the window at the big house next to her, as if she had been taken away.

"Here ......"

"This was your home and was auctioned off. I asked Viscount Iscoran to help buy it for me, when I was in the temporary residence of Saint-Lun...... Not bad. Luke pushed the car door and walked out, "Get out of the car and help us arrange a room." Shelley, arrange for someone to be on duty. ”

"Yes, Chief Inspector." Shelley ordered a few people to enter the courtyard first.

Pisco carried the luggage with the rest of the people.

Karina stepped out of the car, tears rolling in her eyes. For her, the house is still the same, but the people in the house are no longer there.

"Thank you...... I thought I would never go back here. ”

"Thanks, this is the house I bought for myself. If you want it, work hard to earn more bonuses, and if you have the money to buy it back. ”

"Yes, Chief Inspector." Karina wiped away her tears: "I'll work well." ”

"Go in and have a coffee and see who our first visitor will be."

Karina's old house is far less big than the museum that Augustine gave to Clear Sky, and the location is not as good as the museum, but it is also a luxurious private villa in the upper town of Saint-Lun, which shows that the former Lindbergh family was also powerful.

The capital of the Golden Shield Empire, Shenglun City, is divided into three districts.

The Imperial City consists of the Imperial Palace and the surrounding districts. Most of this is the property of the imperial family, and the important functional departments of the empire are concentrated. The people who can live in the Imperial City are people of great status, and the Purple Flower Avenue, where the Clear Sky Museum is located, is part of the Imperial City.

Uptown is wrapped around the periphery of the Imperial City, and most of the people who live here have stable jobs.

The lower city is concentrated in the eastern part of the upper city and radiates to the northeast and southeast.

The city of St. Lun originally did not have a lower town. But with the advancement of science and technology, industrial mass production led to the mass bankruptcy of craftsmen and small farmers. In the eastern part of the city, there is a large landfill, and the city's sewage is also discharged along the river, where bankrupts who have left the city and the land have made their homes and depend on the garbage for their livelihood.

Later, the refining of garbage and sewage formed an industrial chain here, and the lower town of Saint-Lun was formed, which expanded and expanded rapidly with the arrival of more and more bankrupts.

Compared with the Cape area, which can still go to the sea to earn a living, the lower town of Saint-Lun is a typical slum. Pollution has left the average life expectancy here at 34 years, and when the last vigilantes were removed from the lower town, violence and deteriorating conditions have caused the average life expectancy to fall in the area.

The Upper and Lower Towns of the Saint-Lun City are separated by a towering wall, and the two sides of the city wall are completely two worlds.

Luke, who lives at 236 Boulevard des Mulberry Trees, reclines on a recliner in his room, looking at the information on his phone related to the lower city of Saint-Lun.

As the saying goes: the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology.

Garbage and sewage treatment technology have made the people of the lower city of Shenglun create a lot of strange things. Some people will become strange because they are consciously or unintentionally contaminated with something.

Luke felt that he would be left to the mercy of the Emperor for a while, killing his own prestige. If the emperor does not summon to make a statement, people from other parties will not dare to openly contact him, let alone Agatha, who is also thinking about cooling down.

At this time, there is no need to think about doing things in Uptown. Standing in the spotlight right now, every move you make could cause unnecessary trouble.

But Downtown is different.

Not to mention the control of the lower city, there are almost no eyes and ears. Do something there, as long as there is not much movement, you don't have to worry about being noticed.

Before coming to Saint-Lynn, Luke asked Iscollan to help him find a helper who could understand the situation in the lower city. It's just that I didn't expect him to send fast legs directly, and it seems that he also knows that there is a lot of danger in Shenglun City.

Just as Luke was browsing through the information, wondering where to start in the lower town to kill his boredom, Karina walked into the room.

"Chief Inspector, someone is visiting."

Luke asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's Jomington."

"He......" Jomington's visit was somewhat unexpected for Luke, but on closer inspection, he was indeed a suitable visitor. Luke said to Karina, "Let him wait for me in the living room, and say that I will go to see him after I have finished writing the materials to present to Her Highness the eldest princess." ”

"Yes, Chief Inspector." Karina looked at the empty desk and asked, "Do you need me to help you write?" ”

Luke continued to lie comfortably in the recliner, closed his eyes and said, "No...... I'll sleep for a while and come back to call me two hours later. ”

Karina understood what her chief inspector meant: "I see, chief inspector...... I'll be back in two hours. ”

Luke waved his hand and really fell asleep.

Karina covered him with a blanket, then walked out softly, and slowly closed the door.

Jomington, who is allowed to enter, is taken to the living room, where Karina pours him a cup of coffee and informs him that Chief Inspector Meteor is writing materials to turn in to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"When will the chief inspector finish writing? I have something important to do and I hope to exchange views with him. ”

Shelley, who was sitting on the other side of the manicure, said sneeringly: "No matter how important things are, we can write them to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess than our chief inspector...... Reporting is important. Don't want to wait...... Let's go! ”

Karina politely said, "I'm sorry, Lord Jomington. This material is very important, and the chief inspector does not want to interrupt his train of thought halfway. ”

Jomington ignored Shelley, and said to Karina, "I am no longer a staff officer of the Imperial Chief, I am now a commoner, and there is no need to call me 'sir'." ”

"Yo-he...... Dismissed? Shelley became interested: "I remember that you were very majestic when you went to Angry Waves City, why did you come back and even lose your official position." Do you want to join our chief inspector this time...... You're not stupid yet.

Come, first call out to Sister Shelley, and I will say a few kind words for you in front of the chief inspector. ”

Jomington frowned.

It's a beautiful big beauty, why is she so strong in her talk.

He remembered his mission this time: "Although I no longer have an official position, I am still assisting Prime Minister Gabriel. I came here to find out what was going on in Angry Waves, and some misunderstandings would be good for everyone. We are all working for the Empire, and timely communication can not hurt Your Majesty.

Please inform Chief Inspector Meteorite again and let him know what I said. ”

Karina didn't move: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jomington, I don't understand what you're saying. The Chief Inspector told you to wait, and if you want to be summoned by him, please be patient. ”
