Chapter 245: Harvesting Wisdom
This thing is a misunderstanding that is a little sour, but a little sweet when you taste it!
Belloc is a distant relative of the Elaine family, and after they came to the capital, Belloc has always taken good care of them. It's just that during this time, Belloc has been getting busier and busier lately, and he has to leave many things to Clemens to handle for him.
Clemens was already active and warm-hearted, and he went in and out of Elaine's house more often.
Fried once visited Elaine, only to see Elaine being helped into his carriage by Clemens. Looking at the back of the carriage as it drove away, Fried was furious!
When Fried returns to the house, he is surprised to find that Elaine has arrived, and he takes it for granted that Clemens sent her here. Seeing Elaine's smile like a spring breeze, the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually dissipated, but he couldn't let go of Clemens's intimate action of supporting 'Elaine'. For a long time to come, Fried ignored Clemens!
Until one day, Clemens appeared in front of Fried with Elaine's sister and informed him that the two were dating. Only then did Fried realize that he had made such a big noise!
Although Fried expressed Daoqian to both Clemens and Elaine, this incident has always made Clemens angry, and he always took it out to ridicule Fried.
After Li Zijun knew about this, he naturally wouldn't let go of Fried easily, and the performance just now was just for the foreshadowing at this time.
"You and Clemens are not good things!
"Tell me about it, Clemens is about to become your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law is a bad person!Hey, you're going to have the heart to in the future!" Li Zijun looked at Elaine. Wickedly, he shook his head.
Li Zijun's sowing of discord soon worked, and Elaine 'caressed' behind Fried's back. Fried's expression twisted.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law's martial arts skills are good, must have you been instructed by some master, right?" Li Zijun saw that Fried had been tortured to the point, so he changed the topic.
"I know I can't hide it from you, you stinky boy, Elaine's grandfather is Master Church! She and her sister have been practicing martial arts with their grandfather since they were children, and that kid from Clemens is no match for them!" Fried said with some smugness.
"Master Qiu Qi, is he also in the capital now, can I go to the mansion to visit him?" Li Zijun asked in surprise.
Qiu Qi is the lower-ranked Sword Saint of the Dongyu Empire, according to the practice of the Youlan Continent, regardless of the two or three strongest in each country, the rankings of the other Sword Saints are all based on the order in which they have reached this realm. Therefore, this ranking often does not fully reflect the real ranking among all the Juggernauts!
As a representative of the offensive Juggernaut. Church never recognized his ranking. It's just that he is limited to the stereotype that 'no casual competition between sword masters in his own country' made Church have to focus his attention on the sword masters of other countries, and he has secretly traveled to other countries many times and took the initiative to invite sword masters from other countries to compete.
As for the results of the competition, Church never mentioned it to others, but judging from the fact that he could return to the Dongyu Empire alive every time, at least he was not defeated badly!
"Grandpa just got the news back the other day that he will be back in Firano City soon. He has mentioned you more than once, calling you 'Dongwoo's No. 1 Wizard!He's looking forward to meeting you!" Elaine smiled and answered Lee Zi-jun's question.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Li Zijun couldn't help but be happy in his heart. But on the surface, he still maintains a modest attitude.
"Don't pretend! I don't know you yet, just laugh if you want to!"
"Elaine, don't always talk to him and hurt him like this. You don't have to be so polite!"
"What Big Brother Fried said is that we are all friends, but don't use the title 'you' anymore!"
Elaine smiled when she heard the words of the two. Noncommittal.
"At this time, you don't stay in the mansion to investigate your case. I've been running to the Cult of Light for two days in a row, have you found anything?" Fried's face turned straight and asked Li Zijun.
Hearing Fried's words, Li Zijun was slightly stunned, Fried had never asked his secrets directly like today, and he couldn't help but wonder.
But when Li Zijun saw Fried nodding slightly to him, he finally understood Fried's intentions. In this way, Fried is showing himself that he has accepted his offer, and that from this day onwards, he is officially on his staff.
In addition to the surprise, Li Zijun ignored the fact that Elaine was still by their side, and told him and Van Lunding's analysis of the Illuminous God Cult like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
Afterwards, Li Zijun also felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, Elaine was someone that Fried could absolutely trust, and there was no need for him to be suspicious about it, so he let go of the worries in his heart.
"According to you, the Cult of the Illuminati is indeed very suspicious! It's just that so far, the Cult of the Illuminati has not shown the slightest malice towards you, and you are really ready to pursue it all the way?" Justice and fairness reach a certain stage, especially when it comes to politics, their weight will become lighter and lighter, and in the end, the starting point of all decisions will converge on the word 'profit'! It is precisely for this reason that Fried has such a question.
"My suspicions about the Cult of the Illuminati, up to this moment, can only remain on inferences without any empirical evidence. Their methods of covering up are really too clever! After so many days, the Criminal Department has not been able to find a single valuable clue! I think that even if we continue to investigate according to my method, we may not be able to make any breakthrough. So, I'm not actually worried about what I'm going to find next. ”
"I'm just curious that they're going to do it!"
"Based on what you know about the 'monkey', he shouldn't be able to fool your eyes, but based on his identity and age, his status in the Cult of the Illuminati will not be too high. In other words, the judgment drawn from him may not be entirely credible!"
"You don't have any interests with the Cult of the Light, and there's really no reason for them to help you. The Bright God Sect has been standing tall in the Youlan Continent for so many years, and it will never be only those superficial methods, you still have to be more careful with them!"
"There is one thing you may not have gotten the news of, the guards who were responsible for protecting the 'little princess' on the day of the ball, several more people committed suicide this morning! In the suicide notes they left, they expressed the guilt of Virgil Bixia and the 'little princess', and it was for this reason that they learned about their lives!"
"Why haven't I gotten any news about this yet?" said Li Zijun's face sank.
"Don't put on the prestige of your Grand Duke at every turn! They all died in their respective homes, and I heard that it was because several of my brothers had a friendship with one or two of them, and were helping them to deal with their aftermath at the moment, and it was normal that you did not get any news. ”
"I see!" Li Zijun was a little embarrassed by Fried's words, and he touched his nose slightly embarrassed.
"It looks like you've made them feel threatened, and they're ready to cut off all the leads!"
"Did they all die by suicide?"
Fried nodded:
"They all chose to commit suicide in a closed room, and before committing suicide, they had apparently tidied up their rooms, and not only were every ornament neatly arranged, but the whole room was spotless. What's even more bizarre is that they themselves are extremely calm. ”
"Do they kill themselves the same way?"
"It's completely different! Some people poisoned, some killed themselves, and some people hung themselves in chairs with a thin band. Either way, their expressions were serene, as if they weren't going to die, but to fly to some happy shijie!"
"Religious liliang!" Li Zijun said with a heavy nod.
"Other than that, I don't think there's any reasonable explanation!"
"It's just that I know a few of them, and as far as I know, none of them have any faith! and they have never been to any sect!
"It's just a cover-up!"
At this moment, Li Zijun was completely sure that this matter must have been done by the Light God Sect!
"What are you going to do next?"
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
"You should eat, drink, and investigate when you should investigate. There are so many problems that so many elites in the criminal department can't solve, how can you, a minor child, have any good way?!"
"When you think about it, this is probably the most haode outcome. Not only did you save the face of the Criminal Department, but you also saved so many innocent people, you can be regarded as having done everything!"
"That's fine, but I'm afraid I'm going to be the defender of Firano City!"
"It's not just you, I'm afraid that the Criminal Department will encounter an unprecedented earthquake this time! It's a pity that we don't have a suitable candidate on our hands, so we can only watch other people eat meat and drink soup. ”
"What do you think of Gavin, York, and Mandel? Which of them would be suitable for a position in the Criminal Department?"
"Although Mandel has some ability, after all, he was once the prince of the Empire, and it may be difficult to get permission from Virgil Bixia to let him enter the Criminal Department! Moreover, Mandel is a sharp and ambitious person, at least for now, you still lack the means and status to control him. ”
"Gavin shouldn't have a problem with his abilities, but he seems to have been facing some choice issues lately, and I don't think it's appropriate to entrust him with the task until he makes his Zuihou choice. ”
"York's ability to be appreciated by General Yule is certainly not just loyal and trustworthy, as far as I can see, this man is extremely adaptable and very good at dealing with all kinds of complex situations, which can be of great use!" (to be continued......
