Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 268 Fire

  When Luke returned to Secret Service Six, he found that the grandson of Sinclair had come to work on time. He arranged an office for himself privately, commanding people to move all the things related to Princess Dai's case into his office, as if he would never give up until he investigated the case to the bottom.

   In addition, the eldest prince sent some gifts, so Luke took advantage of the trend and stopped sending Shelley and Pisco to Silver Avenue.

  Backing to the office, Karina came in to report on the work from last night to this morning, including a major power outage in the city and a fire that was suspected to be caused by a "power outage".

"Your Excellency, many corpses were found in the fire. People from the Public Security Bureau are investigating, and the Headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Bureau has also sent people to follow up. What I know so far is... that warehouse has been out of use for a long time, and I don't know why these people gathered in it No clues to prove their identities have been found yet, but it can be determined that these people were killed first, and then there was this fire.

   This was obviously killing and burning corpses to wipe out traces, but the Public Security Bureau said that the fire was caused by a power outage.

   Weird! "

Luke looked at the information on this particular case and said, "The Public Security Bureau 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 inside information, we only pay attention to this case from the sidelines." Can.

  What's going on with Sinclair? "

Talking about Sinclair, Kailinna looked angry: "It's okay, he didn't do anything more than verbally harass me. Now he has transferred all the information about the case with Princess Dai, and also He 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 didn't know what Sinclair had talked with Fania after returning home yesterday, but Fania must have poured this basin of dirty water on the second prince Alec, which made Sinclair so motivated today.

  I just want to untie the eldest prince, let the two princes fight!

   "Sinclair will give him all the information related to the Princess Dai's case. Except for these, he and his people are not allowed to see other confidential things.

  The people who came from Raging Waves City for support should be here soon, you should arrange the reception and get them back to work as soon as possible.

  All parties in the imperial capital have waited and watched for so long, and they understand what they want to see, and some people can't help but make moves. There are also the Brotherhood of Blades and the Temple of the Abyss. When the civil war starts, they will definitely not continue to live in peace.

  We are alone here, put security systems in place as soon as possible. "

  Kelina replied solemnly: "Of course, Governor General..."

   At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and after getting permission, he quickly pushed the door open and walked in.

  Seeing Quick Legs, Luke was puzzled.

  I asked him to stare at the lower city, why did he come back?

   Luke tells Kaleena to go out and closes the door so no one can come in.

   Then he asked Kuaileg: "Is there any new situation in the lower city?"

"No, they are still fighting, but they are all exhausted, and the winner should be decided soon." Quick Legs came to the desk and said in a low voice: "I came to see you for another matter... The Blade Brotherhood's stabbing blade in the imperial capital was wiped out."

  Luke was astonished.

  The stabbing blade is a professional assassin specially trained by the Brotherhood of Blades to fight against the imperial power. One of their specialties is escaping for their lives.

  Luke asked Quick Legs: "What other details do you know?"

   Kuaileg told all the news he had just learned.

  Fast Legs is the stabbing blade of the Brotherhood of Blades, but it only served the Iscoran family. When he came to the imperial capital this time, he used his previous relationship to develop an insider in the imperial capital stabbing blade.

   "Yesterday, my friend told me that the Blade Brotherhood will issue a mission to convene a meeting of all the stabbing blades in the imperial capital.

   As a result, they encountered an ambush and were all killed. "

  Luke remembered the fire that Karina told him just now, so he said the address again.

   "This is it!" The passing of his friend made Kuaileg feel very bad: "I wanted to go in just now, but it was blocked by the Public Security Bureau. My lord, please help me find out the truth."

  Luke saw that the eye circles of Kuaileg were a little red, and the person who wanted to die had a deep relationship with him.

  The friendship that can be cultivated between assassins is definitely a life-and-death friendship. Even if they have different positions, or even their own masters, the relationship cannot be broken casually.

  And...if so many stabbing blades die together, there must be a big conspiracy behind it, and it can no longer be treated as an ordinary case.

   "Carina!" Luke yelled.

  Kelina, who was guarding outside the door, pushed open the door: "My lord governor, what orders do you have?"

"Let Shelley prepare the car, bring someone with me to investigate the case... wait a minute!" Luke stopped Karina, who was about to call for someone: "Check to see if the sandpaper and kestrel are there, and let's go together. "

   "Obey!" Kailinna realized the seriousness of the matter and hurried to find someone.

  Kuaileg knows the power here, and knows that Governor Meteor has pulled out all his power in the imperial capital.

   "Thank you, thank you, Governor."

   "Thank me when the case is cleared up... But given the current relationship between the Brotherhood of Blades and the Empire, even if the case is cleared up, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you punish the murderer.

  I hope you can understand. "

  Quick Legs said: "I understand, I will not make things difficult for the governor."

   "As long as you know it, let's go!"

  Shelley moved very quickly. When Luke came out with fast legs, the convoy and the imperial agents were already ready to go outside. Sandpaper and Kestrel drove a truck at the end, in which sat Boiling and Abyss Leopard Sally.

  Luke just got into the car when Sinclair chased him out.

  He opened the car door and sat in directly, and asked, "Are you going to catch the guy who attacked Princess Dai?"

  Luke couldn't help but sigh, His Highness Sinclair can always help people develop new ideas for framing!

   "Yes! I just received a report that all the assassins suspected of attacking Princess Dai'er were silenced. Now I am taking people to the scene of the crime. Do you want to go together, Your Highness?"

  Hearing that the case had made such a big progress, Sinclair became very excited.

   "Go, go, drive, drive! Yesterday we went to find Uncle Alec together, and the gang of assassins were silenced, which means we are about to find the truth.

   Such a fun thing, must not be without me! "

  Alec is a bit wronged to carry this blame!

   But Luke doesn't care who is wronged or not, he said with a smile: "Let's take a look together, and hope that these assassins who have been silenced can leave us something."

  Luke took so many people to investigate the case, and he was going to forcibly enter the scene of the crime to investigate when he encountered obstacles. Now that the grandson of Sinclair is following, things will be much easier.

   But since everyone has been pulled out, let's pull everyone out to make a big splash.

  The arrogant imperial spies in Rage City honked their horns all the way, roaring towards the scene of the fire and murder.

  At the scene of the murder, the fire had long been extinguished, only some sporadic black smoke rising upwards.

  The abandoned warehouse was burnt and only half of the wall remained. Some sheriffs carefully cleaned up the ruins, and moved out the things they found from time to time. At this time, the entire street was blocked, charred bodies and evidence were placed on the road, and a forensic doctor was doing an on-site autopsy.

  Luke's convoy was blocked outside the blockade.

A person at the level of the security captain led his subordinates to form a human wall, and shouted to the spy who came forward to negotiate: "This is just an ordinary fire, which belongs to our Public Security Department. If you want to know the details of the case, we will send it to you after we finish the investigation." I will give you a copy of the secret case."

  The spies who negotiated moved out the Meteor Governor.

Who would have thought that the captain of the security officer would not give face at all, and said in a very loud voice: "The acting governor of Meteor is only the governor of Raging Waves City, and has no power to control the fire in the imperial capital. Headquarters investigation order.

Let's go back!

  This is the imperial capital, not Raging Waves City. "

   Seeing that the sheriff captain was so short-sighted, Shelley, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said to Luke: "My lord governor, let me teach these **** a lesson."

  Luke said: "No! That person is right, this is the imperial capital, not Rage City. Let's follow the rules here...Your Highness Sinclair, my name is not valid here, please go ahead!"

  Sinclair smiled and said: "Yes, in the imperial capital, you should follow the rules of the imperial capital.

get off! "

  Luke and Sinclair get out of the car, all the spies get out of the car, and the heavy war machinery they brought get out of the car.

  The sheriffs were all terrified when they saw that the spies not only did not leave, but instead surged up aggressively, as if they were about to start a war.

  Some sheriffs blew their spoons on their chests to call for backup.

  Although the captain of the sheriff was afraid, he still shouted forcefully: "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 spies continue to approach.

   At this time, a large group of sheriffs who heard the sound of the spoon came to support, and the captain of the sheriff became more courageous.

   "I warn you, leave immediately! Attacking the sheriff of the imperial capital is tantamount to treason, and when the city guards arrive, they will destroy you."

   Surrounded by spies, Luke and Sinclair walk to the front.

   Sinclair tidied up his clothes, took out the badge of the Golden Shield family and put it on his chest.

   Said to the magistrates across the blockade: "I, Sinclair Augustine. The god-given emperor of the Golden Shield Empire, Augustine the Great, is my grandfather; the great prince Fania Augustine is my father.

  If I attack you, wait for the city guards to come... Who do you think they will think are rebels? "

  When Sinclair took out the golden shield royal badge, the face of the captain of the sheriff changed. When Sinclair revealed his identity, the captain immediately saluted Sinclair with all the sheriffs.

   "I'm sorry, Your Highness! I didn't know you were here, please forgive me for offending you."

  Sinclair took off the family badge and put it in his pocket, and said to the sheriffs very dissatisfied: "Offending me is not a serious crime. But offending the laws of the empire is not what you law enforcement officers should do.

   You just said it was a normal fire? Why the news I received was not an ordinary fire.

can you explain this? "

  The captain of the sheriff faltered: "Your Highness, we said it was an ordinary fire in order not to cause panic among the citizens. The inside story of the fire still needs to be investigated. Our duty is to prevent irrelevant people from entering and destroying the scene."

  Sinclair was very dissatisfied with the explanation of the captain of the sheriff: "You are still investigating the inside story of the fire, but the imperial spies from Raging City 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 is the Sixth Division of the Secret Intelligence Bureau taking over. "

   Although the captain of the sheriff was afraid of Sinclair, he still insisted: "I'm sorry, sorry, Your Highness...we can't hand over this place to the Secret Service without an order from the Public Security Department."

  The Public Security Department concealed the truth about the fire and dared to defy itself, which made Sinclair feel even more strange.

   Then it is even more important to take over here as soon as possible to prevent someone from further destroying the clues.

Sinclair glanced at Luke beside him, and then shouted to the sheriffs: "Governor Meteor was ordered to investigate the disappearance of Princess Dai, and now there are clues to prove that the fire is related to this case. You have repeatedly prevented the Secret Service from entering the investigation , are you trying to cover up something?"

  The orders received by these sheriffs were to prevent anyone from intervening in this case. They did not expect that this case was related to the attack on Princess Daier. There is no trace of Princess Dai so far, and she may have died, and the responsibility inside is beyond their ability to bear.

  When the sheriffs hesitated and didn't know how to deal with it, Luke waved his hand, and the wolf-like imperial agents tore off the blockade and rushed in.

Luke said to the sheriffs who were standing still: "You should be clear that the case that can bring me and His Highness Sinclair together is not something you can take on. Assist us in completing the handover of the crime scene and cooperate with all the evidence and Handing over the preliminary investigation data to us is what you should do.

   Don't lose your life at that time, and you don't know why you died. "

  The magistrates couldn't stop the imperial spies, and they didn't dare to stop them. The captain of the sheriff had no choice but to salute Luke: "My lord governor, please forgive me for offending you. I will immediately take His Highness and you to meet our chief..."

  The official of the Public Security Department directing the search at the scene of the crime was a deputy director. After seeing Sinclair, he simply handed over the case, and then led the justices to evacuate quickly. He has long noticed that there are too many secrets in this case, and now it is still related to the attack on Princess Dai'er. Of course, he should stay as far away as possible.

  The secret agents of Secret Service No. 6 quickly took control of the crime scene, and Luke led several secret agents carefully into the ruins left by the fire.

  Abyss!

  Clear Sky, who has dealt with the abyss many times, is very sensitive to this breath, and Luke can naturally detect the remnants of abyss energy here.

  The thorn blade here was killed by the abyss mage?

  The stabbing blade serves the Brotherhood of Blades, and the abyss mage serves the Celtic Grand Duke. Shouldn't they belong to the same camp?

  Luke walked on the blackened wall bricks, radiating the magic energy he had just acquired, looking for clues along the looming abyssal energy.

At this time Shelley came up, and she presented a stack of documents in her hand: "My lord, the remains of the deceased were found in 38, and here are the preliminary autopsy records made by the forensic doctor. All of them died before the fire. Due to the serious damage, The identity of the deceased cannot be confirmed at this time.”

  Luke pointed to the fast leg who was following him: "Give it to the fast leg...he should be able to find things we can't see."
