In the evening.

Xuelai and Pisco returned empty-handed.

The two of them were in the governor's office very stiffly facing Luke as he waited for his pizza to eat.

"Your Excellency the Doge." Xuelai said aggrievedly: "Blame us for not asking the address of the pizza shop, we arrived at Silver Avenue, walked from East Avenue to West Avenue, and then walked from West Avenue to East Avenue, and walked back and forth several times but did not find the pizza shop you said." ”

Pisco was secretly kicked by Xuelai and said: "Sister Xuelai is right, there is no pizza shop on such a long street, it's incredible...... Did you misremember the address, Your Excellency? ”

Luke behind the desk looked at the document in his hand and asked casually, "I'm not mistaken, that pizzeria is on Silver Avenue, are you looking for it carefully?" ”

Xue Lai hurriedly said: "Lord Governor, we searched very carefully, even the small alley leading to Baiyin Avenue, there is really no pizza shop." ”

"yes, we also asked some people, and they also said there were no pizzerias on Silver Mile," Pisco said. ”

That is to say...... You searched several times and didn't find it, and you didn't ask the people there but didn't ask the location? ”

Xuelai and Pisco said in unison, "Yes, Lord Governor." ”

Xuelai continued, "Governor, why don't you eat something else?" ”

Luke didn't put down the papers in his hand, waited for a moment and said, "Maybe when I left the city of St. Lun, the pizzeria moved away from Silver Avenue, so you didn't find it.

I miss the taste of that pizza!

You've been busy for so long, you should be tired, go back and rest. ”

Xuelai and Pisco glanced at each other, then bowed to Luke and exited the room.

Closing the door, Pisco couldn't help but ask Xuelai, "Sister, what kind of pizza can be so delicious, so that the Governor will never forget it, I want to taste what it tastes like." ”

Xuelai nodded: "Yes...... Adults never have any requirements for food, and the food in the bureau's cafeteria can be eaten, and it must be a very delicious pizza to make adults so praised. ”

"I wonder where that pizzeria has moved?"

At this time, Karina walked out of the next office with a stack of papers, and when she came to the door of the governor's office, she was stopped by Xuelai and Pisco.

Xue Lai asked in a low voice: "Karina, you are from Shenglun City, do you know that there is a delicious pizza shop on Silver Avenue?" ”

"Pizzeria on Silver Avenue?" Karina wondered about Xuelai's question: "You've been deceived!" How could there be a pizzeria on Silver Mile. ”

Pisco said, "It was the Governor who said it." He said that he had eaten delicious pizza on Silver Avenue before, and after interrogating the prisoner today, he asked me and Sister Xuelai to buy it.

But we searched for it several times on the Silver Avenue, but we couldn't find it. ”

"Then the Governor must be lying to you." Karina said sympathetically: "Half of the Silver Avenue is the Silver Manor of the Great Prince, and the other half is all important imperial functions. No restaurants, no hotels, no pizzerias......"

Xuelai and Pisco froze, recalling that when they stopped someone to ask about the pizza shop on Silver Avenue, the other party looked at him strangely.

"Why did the Governor lie to us?"

"I don't know...... The Governor's actions are never something we can guess. Please open the door, I have something to report to you. ”

Xuelai and Pisco immediately got out of the way, watching Karina push the door in, and the two couldn't figure it out even if they wanted to...... Why did the Governor trick us into going to Silver Avenue to buy pizzas that didn't exist?

The Silver Manor on Silver Avenue is the residence of the Great Prince Fania, and only a few rooms in the Silver Manor are lit at night, and the number of guards and servants is also very scarce.

The eldest prince Fania is forty-two years old today, and he has not remarried since the death of his wife, and his life has become very low-key. Only the lowest personnel were kept in the manor, and the main daily life was to read.

With his rich knowledge and humble character, Fania had a loyal following in the imperial court. Everyone thought that if Fania could become the future emperor of the empire, he would have to be a wise monarch.

Moreover, Fania also sent his only son to the Northern Army, and there was often news in the court about what kind of military exploits the emperor and grandson had made.

In the evening, Fania reads a book in the study. Dressed in comfortable casual clothes, he sat in a spiral chair with velvet backs. The ornate magic lamp on the roof emits a softer light than an incandescent lamp, and the room is filled with a precious fragrance that can improve concentration and mental strength.

On the crystal round table next to it was a silver flask and a crystal glass. Fania would take a sip of wine from time to time when she was reading a book, and whenever the wine in the glass was gone, the flask would automatically fly up and tilt the body of the jug to pour the red wine into the glass.

Fania was so fascinated that he didn't notice even when the butler pushed the door open and walked up to his side.

"Master." The butler saluted respectfully.

Fania didn't take his eyes off the page, and asked in a casual tone, "How are things going?" ”

"Sam is dead, and it's handled very cleanly."

"I remember the last time you said it was very clean, and Sam was caught by the CIA and bitten. This time, he was even identified by the meteorite, this is what you said cleanly? ”

"I'm sorry, master!" The butler bowed deeply and apologized: "That night, we didn't have enough time to prepare after receiving the order, so there were some mistakes in some links. Fortunately, the main Assassins involved in the operation were safely hidden, and Sam was only one of our peripheral informants, and he didn't know that he was serving his master. ”

"Are you blaming me for not giving you enough time?"

The housekeeper immediately knelt down: "It's our lack of training, please punish the master." ”

Fania flipped the page of the book in her hand and said, "Get up, some things are unpredictable, and you have done a very good job. It's just how Sam was exposed?

Agatha couldn't do anything about him, and Meteor had just taken over Eucalyptus and recognized his identity, which was incredible. ”

The butler stood up and talked about how Sam was exposed, and he was also confused at this point.

"Master, this is indeed a very strange thing. Meteor saw through Sam's identity and didn't send anyone to follow the other six suspects, so that we could easily know the interrogation process. Moreover, during the operation to destroy the mouth, the Imperial agent who followed Sam did not take any action, and returned to Copper Mulberry Avenue after confirming Sam's death. ”

With such a strange movement, Fania finally couldn't put his mind on the book in his hand, and he turned his head to look at the butler: "What do you mean...... Did the meteorite deliberately kill us? ”

The butler said with a little worry, "Meteorite's work in Raging Waves City has always been unexpected, and I can't figure out what he did for it. ”

Fanya's tone was a little nervous: "Are you sure Sam didn't know I existed?" ”

"I'm sure! After Sam's arrest, all those who had contact with him were dealt with. Kill Sam this time, and the whole line is wiped out.

The only person who knows that Sam is working for his master, I am ......"

Fania looked at the butler and breathed a sigh of relief: "You are the person I trust the most. Keep an eye on the Copper Mulberry Avenue for me, and every move of the meteorite must be reported to me. ”

"Yes, master." The butler hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a strange thing related to the meteorite today. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Today, two cronies brought by Meteorite from Raging Waves City came to Silver Avenue to look around for a pizza shop, and they searched back and forth several times. This silver avenue is full of important imperial functions, and there has never been a pizzeria, I don't know where they heard about it. ”

The book in Fanya's hand fell to the ground, and he asked, "These two people came to the Silver Avenue, before Sam was released, or after he was released." ”

"After being released. As soon as Sam left the secret service of the secret service six, these two people came to the Silver Avenue, they did not hide their whereabouts, many people saw it.

Master, master, master, what's wrong with you? ”

Fanya's body trembled a little, and she said to herself, "He knows I did it, what does he mean by that?" ”

"Master......" The butler, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly said, "You mean that the meteorite has been found out to attack Dai'er......"

Fania stood up from his chair, the magic energy gathered in his hand glowed blindly, and he stared at the butler murderously and said, "You just said it...... You're the only one who knows Sam is working for me! ”

The butler knelt on the ground again in fright, and prayed prostrately: "Master, I don't know what happened, but I definitely didn't betray you." Trust me, trust me. ”

At this moment there was a knock at the door, and the servant shouted outside: "Master, His Highness Zinkelai and General Joshuel have returned." ”

Fania withdrew her magic power and said viciously to the butler, "Find out what's wrong!" ”

"Yes, master. Thank you, host. ”

Fania walked out of the study and saw in the living room his son Zinke, who had rushed back to the imperial capital from the northern border, and the commander of the Northern Army, General Joshur.

Dressed in military uniform, he saluted Fania and said happily: "Father, I heard the news that my grandfather had put you in charge of the southern front. With the Northern Army under the command of Uncle Joshur, you and I will surely fight a great war that will be recorded in the annals of history. ”

Fania patted her son on the shoulder: "Very courageous, but ask your uncle and your grandfather if they will let you go south." ”

"Father?" Zinkelai didn't understand what Fania meant.

Jossier on the side saluted Fanya, and then said to Zinke, "The north is not the same as the south, and the empire and its northern neighbors have not had a major conflict for more than a decade. And in the south we are facing the army of barbarians of the Celtic Grand Duke, and even I don't know if I will come back alive.

You are the only son of the eldest prince and sister, and your grandfather and I will never let you take such a big risk, you have to stay in the imperial capital. ”

The young and vigorous Zinklai still wanted to fight for it, and Fania said: "Not only can't you go to the south, but I won't go either."

Sink come, the war in the south is handed over to your uncle, and the battlefield between me and you is here! In the imperial capital, we have more enemies and are more powerful......

You go and rest first, Jossier and I have something to discuss. ”

……

Fania talked all night with Jossier, who had returned from the northern border.

Luke woke up after a beautiful sleep.

Breakfast was served in the office, pizza, ham and milk, and Karina reported on the various intelligence rounds from last night to this morning.

After turning the new page of the Chinese folder, Kailina frowned and said, "My lord, at 6:45 yesterday evening, Philippon Sam was shot by a special poisonous crossbow arrow at home. The agent who followed Sam confirmed that the man died at the scene, and the agent did as you were instructed to return immediately without making any additional moves.

My lord, you know Sam has a problem, why are you watching him get killed?

Now that Sam is dead, and the other suspects have been let go by you, and no personnel have been arranged to monitor them, how can we explain to the eldest princess? ”

Luke gulped down his pizza and said, "You don't need to explain to the eldest princess, I can do it."

Sam's death proves one of my judgments, which is his last surplus value. This matter is over here, and what follow-up actions will be taken, waiting for my orders. ”

Karina took the pen and made notes in the paperwork, and when Luke finished signing, she left the house.

During yesterday's interrogation, Luke was thinking about something.

Sam appeared near the eucalyptus scene, can it be proved that the eldest prince was the mastermind of the attack on Princess Dale?

A: It cannot be proven.

So Luke set up a game.

He implies that he sees through Sam's identity and then lets him go. If the mastermind of the attack on Princess Daile was not the eldest prince, the eldest prince would not have killed Sam in order to prevent the incident from touching him.

But if the Great Prince is the mastermind, he must kill Sam.

Anyway, the eldest prince would never have imagined that he recognized Sam because of him, and Sam was not put to follow the vine, but to make a judgment question.

And let Xuelai and Pisco go to Silver Avenue under the pretext of buying pizza, so that the big prince who is a thief understands ...... I already know you did it.

The flustered prince will definitely show his feet.

It's just that Luke still finds this eucalyptus tricky.

Knowing who the murderer is, it is not difficult to collect evidence in a targeted manner. Even this eucalyptus does not need too clear evidence, it is enough to let Augustine know that it was the eldest prince who made it.

But what happens next is not certain.

Princess Del's visit to Clear Sky's museum was improvised, giving the attackers little time to prepare and act. According to the course of the attack that night, it can be seen that the attacker's plan and actions were very thorough, and Agatha checked for so long and was stunned to find no useful clues.

According to the performance of the eldest prince on weekdays and that night...... Forbearance, decisiveness, and unscrupulous means for the result, even if it is his own blood sister who wants to kill.

For an emperor like Augustine, a plus? Or is it a minus?

Until the moment the facts are revealed, absolutely no one knows the answer.
