While Sandpaper and Kestrel prepare to rescue their sisters, Luke is having a headache when someone suddenly entangles the door.

Returning to the imperial capital from the north of the empire, the grandson of Sinclair was as energetic as a husky. He obeyed the order of the eldest prince and came to the secret intelligence bureau secret service No. 6 to assist in the investigation of the attack on Princess Daile, and forgot about the "assistance" completely.

Sinclair never knocked on Luke's office when he entered the door, and when he pushed it open, he shouted, "Meteorite Administration, I have made a new discovery about Aunt Dale's case...... Karina, you go out first, and I'm going to discuss the case with the Governor. ”

Karina, who was giving a work report to Luke, looked at Luke inquiringly.

Luke waved his hand: "These things will be handled according to your suggestion, just write a circular for me to sign." Let's go back to work......"

"Yes, sir!"

Karina walked to the door with a large stack of papers in her arms, bowed to Sinclair and ran out, but still heard Sinclair's whistle.

Sinclair stared at Karina and ran back to her office, before closing the door and sitting down across from Luke. The pace is completely lacking in the steadiness and calmness of a member of the royal family, full of ** atmosphere.

"There is such a beautiful remodeled secretary dangling in front of me every day, and no matter how busy the work is, it is a kind of fun. Governor, give her to me, and I'll give you an out-of-town manor. ”

Luke quickly signed a document in front of him and placed it in the drawer in his right-hand hand.

"Your Highness Sinclair, Karina is the property of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and she has a lot of confidential information during her time with me. I advise you not to attack the idea of highly classified personnel in the CIA, and stay away from Karina, especially during such a sensitive period. ”

In the face of Luke's warning, Sinclair shrugged and cocked his legs.

"Yes, my father also warned me that this is a sensitive time." Sinclair had a casual attitude: "In particular, Aunt Agatha, with your assistance, is vying for the crown prince with strong momentum, and it is theorized that you and I are in a hostile relationship. ”

Luke smiled and said, "These days, you treat me here as if it were your home, I thought you didn't know." ”

"What if you know? It's my father, uncle and aunt who are vying for the crown prince, what does it have to do with me! If my father wins, I will be his only legal son, no matter how many illegitimate children my father has outside. No one grabbed me. And if my father loses......" Sinclair thought for a moment and said, "I'll be a general!" ”

"You're optimistic!"

"What if you're not optimistic? Whoever made me a member of the House of Augustine, this is my fate! Although I didn't like it, and even fled to the north, I had to face it in the end. ”

Luke looked at Sinclair and got a new understanding of the royal grandson.

According to the normal course of history, in the plot of the collapse of the Golden Shield Empire, Augustine the Great died of illness, and the two princes launched a bloody night in the imperial capital for the throne. Sinclair gained the power of the Northern Legion with the support of his mother's family, but before he could lead the Northern Legion to the imperial capital to support the Grand Prince, the enemy countries in the north took the opportunity to attack.

At this time, the Northern Army had already drawn most of its elite in the Imperial Civil War, but Sinclair still led the Northern Army to defend the border. In the end, without any support, the Imperial Northern Army ran out of ammunition and was wiped out, and Sinclair was killed in battle......

He had the opportunity to retreat, and could even lead the Northern Legion at the beginning of the war to abandon the border and retreat to the city of Shenglun, first taking the throne and then driving out the foreign enemy.

But no one knows what Sinclair thought at the time.

Some people think that he defeated the last elite army of the empire that was still in the hands of the royal family, became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and was a brave and reckless man.

Some people think that he can't predict the future, and as a general guarding the border, his duty is to guard the country's land. He chose to give up the fight for the throne and die for his country, and he was a true hero.

Now in Luke's eyes, this is a rebellious guy, a soldier oil.

"Alright! Let's not talk about that. Luke didn't have a good idea of Sinclair for the time being, so he had to get back to the point: "You just said about Princess Dale's case, you have a new discovery?" ”

Speaking of Princess Dale, Sinclair had a spirit, and he leaned on the table and whispered mysteriously: "It's not a new discovery, but it just confirmed one of my conjectures." ”

"What conjecture?" Luke didn't think Sinclair, who had just returned from the north, could spit out ivory from his dog's mouth.

"It's not interesting to talk about the results directly, let's talk about my reasoning process first." Sinclair said proudly: "In the information you have made public, I have noticed a detail. The bottom of Aunt Dale's carriage was opened from the inside, and the camouflage cloak hidden under the saddle was gone.

I had just carefully inspected Aunt Dale's carriage, and there was no damage to the interior, and the bottom of the carriage was not violently opened...... Therefore, I deduced that Aunt Dale was not kidnapped, she ran away on her own. ”

"It's absolutely impossible!" Luke exclaimed, "At that time, the royal knights and palace guards were already in control, and support was imminent. Didn't Princess Dale expose herself to danger when she left the well-defended carriage?

And how to explain the maid's coma? Could it be that Princess Dale knocked her unconscious?

We must be rational in solving cases, and anyone has a motive for doing anything. Your Highness Sinclair, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, solving cases is different from your way of thinking about fighting. Solving a case is not a preset conjecture and then looking for corroboration, but a positive reasoning based on all known clues.

In this regard, no one is more professional than our Imperial Intelligence Bureau. Please don't talk nonsense, misinformation can lead to serious consequences. ”

The inference was denied, but Sinclair insisted on his own inference.

"Governor, you don't know Aunt Dale. Do you think that Aunt Dale and Aunt Agatha have the best relationship...... Then you are wrong. Sinclair shook his head and said, "Aunt Agatha's character, although she likes Aunt Dale, she can't play with her." The person who has the best relationship with Aunt Dale...... It's me, I took her to climb trees and ride horses when she was a child. ”

Luke was surprised: "It's a bit unexpected. ”

"It's a bit unexpected, but Aunt Dale grew up with no playmates, and I don't have any siblings, at least no siblings in name. I want to have a younger sister, and Aunt Dale is younger than me. Sinclair was nostalgic for the old days, and he came back to his senses and said, "Aunt Dale has always wanted to escape from the palace, and that day's attack was a great opportunity.

Taking advantage of the chaos outside the carriage to keep the guards' attention on the Assassin, she first used her magic to stun the personal maid, then opened the door under the carriage and got out. Yes, and took the camouflage cloak with her, so she could sneak away without anyone around her noticing. ”

Sinclair said, gesturing his fingers to slip away on the table.

Let Luke shout in his heart: Cow B!

"Although I still don't agree with your inference......" Luke tested Sinclair to see if he still had any information that didn't break out, "but considering that your inference still has some plausibility, we can use it as a direction of investigation."

What do you think...... If Princess Dale had escaped on her own, where would she go? ”

Sinclair sighed: "This ...... I don't know! After all, I went to the Northern Army, and I met Aunt Daile less often, and I didn't know much about her strength. But since you can't find her for so many days, she must have run out of the imperial capital, maybe she has gone abroad. ”

Luke sighed: If I hadn't stopped her, she would have really run out of the country.

Luke pretended to think for a moment and said to Sinclair, "I hope your inference is correct, no matter where Princess Dale goes, at least she is safe."

But it's just an inference, and I can't even make it public, because there's no evidence to convince everyone.

What are you going to do next? I don't think you need to stay here. ”

Sinclair, on the other hand, had no intention of leaving.

"No, no, no, I will never go back, and if I don't assist you in handling the case, I will be locked up at home. Besides, we know that Aunt Dale ran away on her own......"

Luke reminded, "It's just your reasoning. ”

"Yes, that's just my reasoning. But the people who attacked Aunt Dale existed, and they were in the court. The next thing I'm going to do is get him out. Sinclair was confident in himself and then asked Luke, "Tell me what you found?" I don't believe you have made all the information related to the case public, tell me what you know, and I'll look it up! ”

Luke looked at Sinclair and thought about finding him an energy-draining job and not letting him wander around here.

"I'm going to visit someone right now, but I don't know if you'd like to take me there."

"Willing...... In the imperial capital, there is no door that I can't take you into. Say, "Whom are you going to see?" ”

Luke said meaningfully: "Second Prince, His Royal Highness Alec. ”

Sinclair looked at Luke suddenly: "You suspect ......"

"I didn't say anything. I just heard that His Royal Highness Alec's manor is very luxurious and beautiful, and I want to visit and learn ......"

Sinclair was even more unconvinced.

Meteorite is now the eldest princess in charge of Angry Waves City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest person in the empire. Angry Waves City is also an international fashion center, and some gadgets have been passed to the imperial capital, which may be outdated things in Angry Waves City.

Meteor must have had another purpose in meeting Uncle Alec, could he really have something to do with the attack on Aunt Dale's.

Sinclair is a soldier who understands the defense of the Imperial City, and can organize a thorough assassination in such a short period of time, which is not something that ordinary magnates can do.

"Okay, I'll take you." Sinclair said very solemnly.

……

Alec Augustine was the second son of Augustine the Great, young and flamboyant, and liked to hold banquets and make friends with noble ministers. He has a very bold personality, and he finances many expeditions and rangers. As long as the person who has made a name for himself has difficulty finding him, Alec will do his best to help.

As a result, Alec had a good reputation in the court and in the recklessness, and the manor house was home to many idlers with different talents.

Recently, Alec and a female ranger with the name of "Nightingale" have been in full swing, if it weren't for Alec's status as a prince, he could have reached the level of talking about marriage.

Sinclair's visit came as a surprise to Alec. Since the beginning of the dispute for the crown prince, his relationship with his brother Fania has deteriorated. This time the civil war broke out in the empire, and Fania was placed on the southern front, which put him at a disadvantage.

And when the butler said that Sinclair was with the Governor of Meteorite, Alec felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Let them in." Alec said angrily.

After the butler left, the nightingale in a silk robe came to Alec's side: "Your Highness, do you need me to do anything for you?" ”

Alec put his arm around Nightingale's waist and smiled again, "Go, put on the new equipment I prepared for you, and show my nephew and Meteor the force appropriately." ”

"Yes, my Highness!" The nightingale kissed Alec on the cheek, then wrenched away from his embrace.

Alec was a little reluctant to give up the nightingale's body, but still called the maid to change his clothes.

Luke is accompanied by Sinclair on a tour of the manor hall.

The hall is very spacious and decorated with the luxury of royal tradition. In addition to the decorations, there are also many display cases on the four walls of the hall, which are filled with a variety of items. There are machines, alchemy stones, specimens of transcendent species, and mysterious props......

"Uncle loves novelties, especially the latest inventions." Sinclair saw that Luke was curious about the displays, and introduced him.

Luke tried not to show the look of wanting to sweep away all the things here, and it was a good thing to be able to be displayed here by Alec.

However, Luke's purpose for coming this time was not these, and he could only hold back his greed.

"Oh! My dear nephew, you didn't come to see me for so long when you returned to the imperial capital from the north, I thought you had forgotten me. Acrylic, who came down from the upper floor, gave Sinclair a big hug very warmly.

Sinclair apologized: "I'm sorry, uncle. My father was afraid that I would go to the south, so he kept me at home.

Allow me to introduce you. This is the acting governor of Angry Waves City, the ...... of the Intelligence Bureau."

"Governor Meteor, I know!" Without waiting for Sinclair to finish his introduction, Acrylic greeted Luke: "If it weren't for my identity, I would have taken the initiative to visit you." Your experience in Raging Waves is a living legend, and I love meeting heroes like you.

Today, my nephew and the Governor of Meteorite have come to visit, and I am very happy.

Butler, I'm going to have a banquet, the grandest! ”

Acrylic does not have the shelf of a prince, and it is easy to make people feel intimate. When he saw Luke, it was like Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, and he grabbed his forearm and didn't let go, for fear that he would run away.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Sinclair was somewhat snubbed.

The casual Sinclair could have anticipated the treatment he would suffer. He was not angry, so he found a random place to sit down and let the maid pour himself a drink.

Aleca sat on the leather couch with Luke: "Today we are going to have a night of wine, tell me all your stories in the city of angry waves, and I will write a drama based on your stories myself." ”
