Chapter XXXVIII
When Luke returned to Agent Six, he found that Sinclair's grandson had come to work on time. He privately arranged an office for himself, and instructed the people to move all the things related to Princess Dale's case into his office, as if he would never give up until the case was investigated.
In addition, the eldest prince sent some gifts, and Luke took advantage of the situation to stop sending Shelley and Pisco to the Silver Avenue.
Back in the office, Karina came in to report on the work from last night to this morning, including a power outage in the city and a fire suspected to be caused by a "power outage".
"Your Excellency, a lot of corpses and remains were found in the fire, and the Sheriff's Department is investigating, and the CIA headquarters is also sending people to follow up. What we know so far...... The storehouse had been out of use for a long time, and I don't know why these people were gathered inside. No clues have been found to prove their identities for the time being, but it is certain that these people were killed first before the fire.
This was obviously a murder and cremation, but the Sheriff's Department said that the fire was caused by a power outage.
It's weird! ”
Luke looked at this particular case information and said, "The Sheriff's Department must be covering up something, and the shared information given to us by the headquarters also has traces of cover-up. Since they all know more about the inside story, we can only focus on this case from the side.
What's going on with Sinclair? ”
Talking about Sinclair, Karina looked indignant: "It's okay, except for verbally harassing me, there is no more action." Now he has transferred all the information about Princess Dai'er's case, and sent the people he brought to investigate the second prince.
Could it be that the case has something to do with the second prince? ”
Luke doesn't know what Sinclair talked to Fana about after returning home yesterday, but Fanya must have splashed this basin of dirty water on the second prince Alec, so that Sinclair has such a lot of energy today.
I just want to loosen the ties of the eldest prince and let the two princes fight!
"All the information related to Princess Dale's case, Sinclair will give it to him. Other than that, he and his people were not allowed to see any other confidential things.
The people who came from the city should be almost there, you arrange the reception and let them get into work as soon as possible.
All parties in the imperial capital have been watching for so long, and everything they want to see has been understood, and some people can't help but move. There are also the Brotherhood of Blades and the Temple of the Abyss, and when the civil war begins, they will definitely not continue to settle down.
We are alone here, and we need to put the security system in place as soon as possible. ”
Karina replied solemnly: "Yes, Lord Governor......"
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and after getting permission, he quickly pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Fast Legs, Luke was puzzled.
I asked him to keep an eye on the lower side of the city, why did he come back?
Luke tells Karina to go out and closes the door to keep anyone in.
Then he asked the fast legs, "Is there a new situation in the lower city?" ”
"No, they're still fighting, but they're all exhausted, and the winner should be decided quickly." Quickleg came to the desk and whispered, "I'm here to see you for another thing...... The Blade-wielding Brotherhood's stabbing blades in the imperial capital were wiped out. ”
Luke was surprised.
The Thornblade is a professional assassin specially trained by the Brotherhood of Blades to fight against the imperial power, and one of his specialties is to escape, how can people serve them in a pot!
Luke asked Quicklegs, "What other details do you know?" ”
Fast Legs told all the news he had just learned.
The fast legs are the stabbing blades of the Brotherhood of Blades, but they serve the Iscoran family. This time he came to the imperial capital, and he used his previous relationship to develop an inside line in the imperial capital.
"Yesterday my friend told me that the Brotherhood of Blades was going to issue a mission to convene a meeting of all the Thornblades in the Imperial Capital.
As a result, they were ambushed and all of them were killed. ”
Luke remembered the fire that Karina had just told him about, and told him the address.
"This is it!" The death of a friend made Fast Legs feel very bad: "I wanted to go in just now, but it was blocked by the Sheriff's Department. My lord, please help me find out the truth. ”
Luke saw that the circles under his eyes were a little red on his fast legs, and he thought that the person who had died had a deep affection for him.
The friendship that can be cultivated between the Assassins is definitely a life-and-death friendship, even if they have different positions, or even if they are their own masters, but the relationship cannot be broken casually.
And...... If so many stabbing blades die together, there is definitely a big conspiracy behind it, and it can no longer be treated as an ordinary case.
"Karina!" Luke shouted.
Karina, who was guarding outside the door, pushed open the door: "Your Excellency the Governor, what are your orders?" ”
"Let Shelley prepare the car and bring someone with me to investigate the case...... Wait a minute! Luke called to Karina, who was about to call someone: "Let's see if Sandpaper and Kestrel are there, pull on the boiling and walk together." ”
"Yes!" Karina realized the seriousness of the matter and hurried to find someone.
Quick legs know the power here, and know that the Governor of the Falling Star is pulling out all his power in the imperial capital.
"Thank you, thank you, Lord Governor."
"Thank me when the case is cleared up...... But given the current relationship between the Brotherhood of Blades and the Empire, even if it is found, I am afraid that I will not be able to help you punish the murderer.
Hope you understand. ”
"I understand, I won't embarrass the Governor. ”
"It's good that you know, let's go!"
Shelley's movements were very fast, and when Luke walked out with his fast legs, the convoy and the Imperial agents were already outside ready to go. Sandpaper and Kestrel drove a truck at the end, and inside the compartment sat Boiling and Abys Leopard Sally.
No sooner had Luke gotten into the car than Sinclair chased after him.
He pulled the car door and sat in directly, and asked, "Are you going to catch the guy who attacked Princess Dale?" ”
Luke couldn't help but sigh, His Royal Highness Sinclair can always help people develop new ideas for planting!
"Yes! I've just received a tip that all the assassins suspected of attacking Princess Dale have been killed, and I'm taking someone to the scene of the crime. Would you like to go with you, Your Highness? ”
Hearing that there had been such a big progress in the case, Sinclair's whole person became excited.
"Go, go, drive, drive! Yesterday we went to find Uncle Alec, and the Assassins were wiped out, which means that we are close to finding the truth.
Such a fun thing must not be without me! ”
Alec is a little wronged to carry this pot!
But Luke didn't care who was wronged, he smiled and said, "Let's take a look, and hope that these exterminated assassins can leave us something." ”
Luke took so many people to investigate the case, just to prepare to forcibly enter the scene of the crime to investigate when he was obstructed. Now that Sinclair is with him, things can be much easier.
But since everyone has been pulled out, let's all pull it up and make a strong noise.
The arrogant Imperial agents in Raging Waves honked their horns all the way to the scene of the fire and murder.
At the scene of the murder, the fire had long been extinguished, and only some sporadic black smoke rose upward.
The abandoned storehouse burned down to only half of its walls, and some sheriffs carefully cleared the rubble and occasionally moved out what they found. At this time, the entire street was cordoned off, charred bodies and evidence were laid out on the road, and forensic doctors were doing on-site autopsies.
Luke's convoy was blocked from the outside of the cordon belt.
A vigilante-level figure, with his subordinates forming a human wall, shouted to the secret agent who came forward to negotiate: "This is just an ordinary fire, and our Sheriff's Department is responsible." You want to know the facts of the case, and when we finish our investigation, we will give you a copy of the case. ”
The negotiating agent moves out of the Governor of Meteor.
Who would have thought that the sheriff captain would not give face at all, and said in a very loud voice: "The Acting Governor of the Falling Star is only the governor of Angry Waves City, and he has no power to manage the fire in the imperial capital. Even the secret service of the secret intelligence bureau needs to get an investigation order from the headquarters of the secret intelligence bureau first.
Let's go back!
This is the imperial capital, not the city of angry waves. ”
Seeing that the sheriff captain was so short-sighted, Shelley, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said to Luke, "Lord Governor, let me teach this bunch of waste a lesson. ”
Luke said, "No! The man was right, this is the imperial capital, not the city of angry waves. Let's follow the rules here...... Your Highness Sinclair, my name doesn't work here, please! ”
Sinclair smiled and said, "Yes, in the imperial capital, you should follow the rules of the imperial capital."
Get out! ”
Luke and Sinclair get out of the car, all the agents get out of the car, and the heavy war machines they bring get out of the car.
The sheriffs were all frightened when they saw that this group of spies not only did not leave, but instead rushed up with a posture of going to war.
Some sheriffs flipped their spoons on their chests and called for support.
The sheriff captain was scared but shouted strongly, "You, what do you want to do." This is the imperial capital, not a place for you to mess around, do you want to rebel? ”
The agents continued to get closer.
At this time, a large group of sheriffs who heard the sound of spoons came to their aid, and the sheriff captain became even more courageous.
"I warn you, leave immediately! Attacking the sheriff of the imperial capital is tantamount to treason, and when the city garrison arrives, they will exterminate you. ”
Surrounded by spies, Luke and Sinclair stepped forward.
Sinclair straightened his clothes and took out the Golden Shield family badge and put it on his chest.
Said to the sheriffs through the cordon, "I, Sinclair Augustine. The Emperor Augustine the Great of the Golden Shield Empire is my grandfather; The eldest prince, Fania Augustine, is my father.
If I attack you, wait for the city guards to come...... Who do you think they think are the rebels? ”
When Sinclair took out the Golden Shield royal insignia, the face of the sheriff captain changed. When Sinclair revealed his identity, the captain and all the sheriffs immediately saluted Sinclair.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness! I didn't know you were here, please forgive me for offending you. ”
Sinclair took off the family crest and put it in his pocket, and said to the sheriffs with great dissatisfaction, "It is not a great crime to offend me. But offending the laws of the Empire is not for you law enforcers.
You just said it's a normal fire? Why did I receive the message that it was not an ordinary fire.
Can you explain? ”
The sheriff's captain hesitated: "Your Highness, we said that it was an ordinary fire so as not to cause panic among the citizens. The fire still needs to be investigated, and it is our job to prevent unrelated people from entering and destroying the scene. ”
Sinclair was not satisfied with the sheriff's explanation: "You are still investigating the fire, but the Imperial agents from Angry Waves already know the identity of the deceased. As the sheriff of the imperial capital, don't you feel ashamed?
Get out of the way, here's six CIA agents taking over. ”
Although the sheriff captain was afraid of Sinclair, he insisted: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Your Highness...... We can't leave this place in the hands of the CIA without an order from the Sheriff's Office. ”
The sheriff's concealment of the fire and the daring to disobey themselves made Sinclair feel even more strange inside.
Then it is even more important to take over this place as soon as possible to prevent anyone from further destroying the lead.
Sinclair glanced at Luke beside him, and then shouted to the sheriffs, "The Governor of Meteorite has been tasked with investigating the disappearance of Princess Dale, and now there are clues that this fire is related to this case. You have repeatedly prevented the Sixth Secret Service from entering the investigation, are you trying to cover up something? ”
The sheriffs were ordered to prevent anyone from intervening in the case, which was unexpectedly related to the attack on Princess Dale. Princess Daile has no trace so far, and may have been killed, and the responsibility inside is not something they can bear.
While the sheriffs hesitated and didn't know what to do, Luke waved his hand, and the wolf-like Imperial agents tore through the blockade and rushed in.
Luke said to the sheriffs, "You should know that the case that can get me and His Highness Sinclair together is not something you can afford. Assisting us in completing the handover of the crime scene and cooperating with the transfer of all evidence and preliminary investigation materials to us is what you should do.
Don't lose your life by then, you don't know why you died. ”
The sheriffs couldn't stop the Imperial agents, and they didn't dare to stop them. The sheriff captain had no choice but to salute Luke: "Your Excellency the Governor, please forgive me for my offense to you. I will now take Your Highness and you to our presiding officer at once......"
The sheriff's officer who directed the search at the scene of the crime was a deputy commissioner, and after seeing Sinclair, he simply handed over the case, and then quickly evacuated with the sheriffs. He had long been aware that there were too many hidden secrets in this case, and now it was even related to the attack on Princess Dale, of course, he could stay as far away as possible.
The agents of Secret Service 6 quickly took control of the crime scene, and Luke led several agents into the ruins left by the fire.
Abyss!
Clear Sky, who had dealt with the abyss many times, was very sensitive to this aura, and Luke could naturally detect the remnants of the abyssal energy here.
The stabbing blade here was killed by the Abyss Mage?
But the Thornblade serves the Brotherhood of Blades, and the Abyss Mage serves the Archduke of Celts, shouldn't they belong to one faction?
Luke walked on the blackened bricks, radiating the magic energy he had just acquired, searching for clues along the looming abyssal energy.
At this time, Shelley walked up, and she handed over a stack of documents in her hand: "Your Excellency, a total of 38 remains of the deceased have been found, and here are the preliminary autopsy records made by the forensic doctor. All died before the fire, and due to the severity of the damage, it is not possible to identify the deceased for the time being. ”
Luke pointed to the fast leg that followed him, "Give it to the fast leg...... He should be able to see what we can't see. ”
