Lan rode his horse and galloped all the way from the Forest of Prayer to the official road of the imperial capital.

The snow-white clothes flew in the air, Lan's face was solemn, and the bad feeling in her heart became more and more serious.

Emperor's Envoy!

From the scene of the corpse without any clues, Lan immediately reacted that this was just a corpse dumping scene.

Only things that appear out of thin air will have no clues.

Emperor Dimensional Phalanx [Shangri-La].

Lan could only think of this imperial tool, even one that Heaton had mentioned.

"Pedal pedal pedal blah."

The horse's hooves stepped on the cement-paved official road, making a crisp sound, and Lan's heart became more and more uncalm with the sound of the horse's hooves.

The son of a minister, or just the murderer who accidentally got Shangri-La?

Heaton once gave an order to search for the emperor [Shangri-La] and pay attention to Shura's whereabouts.

But there has been no clue for the past few years, and Heaton has not urged the progress of this matter, so everyone has not deliberately looked for it.

How could Lan have thought that the clues of this imperial tool would suddenly appear, and even be involved with that pedophile criminal.

Could it be that Shura, the son of the minister, is that criminal?

Lan thought about the possibility of this matter, and from the time calculation, it was extremely likely.

galloped all the way, from outside the city to the outer city, unimpeded, and came to the imperial capital garrison.

When he learned that the person who came was the Imperial Internal Affairs Officer, or His Majesty's most trusted Internal Affairs Official, the new Imperial Capital Garrison Captain Oka respectfully came out to welcome him.

"Take a team and go to the slums!" Lan commanded with a serious face.

"Yes!" Oka received the order and ran non-stop to the garrison to gather his men.

From the moment he saw what the victim was wearing, Lan probably analyzed the murderer's perverted habits.

As Heaton and Gozzi say, the killer prefers cute kids.

If the victim does not have a wealthy area, it is in Beicheng, and it is more difficult to carry out even if the crime is committed.

After all, what rich person doesn't hire a few bodyguards at home to protect the home?

The Imperial Capital Garrison will also patrol every night to prevent homeless people or criminals from causing trouble, and outsiders who want to stay for a long time or stay overnight must be registered.

Close to the slums of District XC, from the border of the northern district, there is a mixture of homeless people, beggars, fugitives, petty thieves, no one cares about it, and there is no way to manage it.

"Lord Lan, it's already assembled!" Oka trotted all the way, a flattering smile on his rugged face.

"Let's go."

A total of about 50 guards, dressed in neat guard uniforms, holding guns, and long swords hanging from their waists, set off towards the slums of Xicheng.

"How many reports of missing children have been reported lately?"

On the way, Lan asked Ouka, the only official organization in the outer city that manages the people and is responsible for public security is the Imperial Capital Garrison, and the child can only be reported to the garrison if he goes missing.

"More than a decade, thirteen children are missing." Oka reported truthfully, but muttered to himself in his heart, it turned out that he was here for this matter.

"What are the results of the garrison's investigation?"

"My lord, the situation..."Oka was a little nervous in his heart, "The garrison searched the thirteenth street of Beicheng District and all the neighborhoods, and nothing was found. ”

"What about the slums?"

"This—" Oka hesitated, obviously not, and even the thirteenth street was a hasty search.

The first informant reported the case five days ago, when Oka had just taken office, and such a case did not attract Oka attention.

Ten children a day in the slums, what is this one?

Maybe the child is playing so crazy that he forgets to go home.

What's more, he had just taken office, and there were a bunch of tasks to be handed over, and Oka didn't even send someone to investigate, so he asked the informant to go home and wait.

That is, two days ago, there were more and more people reporting the case, and there were more and more missing children, and even people from ordinary neighborhoods in Beicheng District, so Oka paid a little attention to it.

But it's only "slightly".

Although this ordinary neighborhood is called ordinary, it is obviously a little closer to the people than the housing prices in Beicheng District on the banks of the Grand Canal.

Many wealthy officials may live here.

Oka didn't dare to make a big splash, so he sent a dozen team members to search for a day, touch the fish, paddle the water, and make a show.

Don't dare to search by force, including the slums now, the last riot was dead!

It's not been long since this happened.

"My lord, the slum is some distance from the vicinity of the 13th Street of the informant, and besides, the slum is very unstable now."

"The riot some time ago?"

"Yes, the captain of the garrison died in that riot, and the people of the slums, for some reason, suddenly asked the head of the western district for handouts.

Such a thing was obviously not allowed, and the relief money was not distributed to this group of criminals, and then they spontaneously formed a protest group, and the imperial capital garrison was responsible for suppressing it.

However, the day after the crackdown, the head of the garrison died in his home, and the protest group subsided the riots on the conditions promised by the oil trader Jamai. ”

"Oil merchants?" Lan frowned, listening to Oka tell about this strange and inexplicable riot.

"What conditions!"

"Well, it seems to be a cheap person who hires a slum... The people work, manage food and housing, and even pay subsidies. ”

"You know him?"

Lan turned his head sharply, startling Oka away.

"No.. I don't know. ”

"To tell you the truth, why don't you go to the slums to investigate the case of the disappearance of children, I believe that you are definitely not afraid, in the past, when the garrison went to the slums to replace the dead ghosts, you were not afraid of this." Lan's tone was cold, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Okka.

Oka was so nervous that his hands were clenched tightly, his palms were covered with sweat, and his heart seemed to be beating to his throat.

The pressure on Lan on him is extremely great, and the biggest official position that Oka usually sees is the district chief of the outer city.

The garrison itself didn't know that there was such a person as the emperor like Gozzi on it.

As an independent organization, there is actually an intermediary body above that is responsible for management and regulation.

In his eyes, the garrison is just an information-gathering team, or even just collecting information about the imperial capital.

"It's Pali, the mayor of the Western District, who told me not to come to the slums, saying that the matter in the Western District has been settled."

Oka couldn't withstand Lan's pressure and spoke extremely fast.

"More than that, the oil merchant gave you money?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not, no, no."

Oka vehemently denied it, but his flustered expression betrayed him.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let me ask you, why do oil merchants go to the slums to recruit people, and why do they bribe the district chief."

"Big... My lord, I don't know, I really don't know, they didn't tell me anything. ”

"Everyone, you heard it, take down your captain, and when this matter is over, I will interrogate him personally."

The conversation between the two was loud and did not hide the members of the garrison behind them.

Heaton and Gozzi would tolerate such corrupt people, because they knew that everyone was more or less the same, but Ranco would not tolerate it, and he would not be soft when there was evidence.
