Chapter 321 Investigation Results
Thirty minutes later
Messengers from the Violet Royal Family appeared at Mercury Court as expected, along with members of the Fire Claws who participated in the joint investigation team. His face doesn't look very good.
"You stay here to understand the situation."
Futaba simply explained to LeVine and Cassie behind him, and then talked to the silent man The envoys left the Mercury Court together, without even asking a few words to the investigative participants who must have known something about the situation.
In fact, she really didn't need to ask, because the previous signs had already indicated too many things, so instead of rushing to find out more information before returning to the Purple Jiu Hall for the meeting, it was better to simply not ask anything and use her own To meet that storm at the same pace...
That storm was unplanned, unexpected, and unreasonable, but it seemed destined to happen.
Reality is so unreasonable, it will turn most of your worries and worries into reality, it will magnify a tiny loophole infinitely, and it will destroy all your plans at that precise moment. Shushang will turn people's various worries and uneasy assumptions into reality.
Because of this, when Futaba realized that he had forced the opponent into a dead end without any backup means or plan, he was also prepared that he would also be forced into a dead end.
That’s why Futaba can now keep calm from the bottom of her heart. She has lost her temper too many times for various reasons since entering this game, and she has decided not to be bound by emotions anymore...
< br>
But five minutes after the calm-looking girl stepped onto Crown Avenue, an extremely bad message from a friend still shook her calmness and indifference.
‘Hey! Your expression is really ugly. Why don't you give me a smile? ’
[Tan Mo! ! 】
Staring at the sender's name in the message column, the girl instantly summoned a mage's eye above her head with a field of view of 360 degrees, and relied on her long-term tempered , the dynamic vision and instant memory of being able to view six monitors at the same time without missing a single useful message draw conclusions quickly.
[Sixteen passers-by, nine men and seven women, there are eleven hiding places that can observe my expression within five seconds, of which there are four places that can perfectly hide people, but none of them can It poses a direct threat to me. Because of the presence of the Redbud Envoy in front of me, pedestrians on the roadside deliberately keep their distance from us. In this case, the bitch who is not in the top 100 of the combat power rankings should have no chance to attack me. He can kill with one hit, but that's just 'should'. Since he can hold me steady in the overall strength rankings, there's no guarantee that he won't have some big killer weapon in his hands. The enemy is overt and we are hidden, and Cassie is not around. I don’t have time to eliminate them step by step. I can use the royal family’s messenger, but if that guy BLACK is fully prepared... Damn it, why is it at this time...】
Futaba Yingya bit her teeth lightly, but on the surface she remained calm. She just replied calmly with a message: "I've finished smiling for you. Did you see it?"
Two seconds later, she knew that this time The test was completely in vain, and my heart skipped a beat.
The guy who was playing a mutual killing game with me replied like this:
'Save it, your teeth are about to break, don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, and take those two by the way. The mage's eyes flying at low altitude at a backlight angle should be scattered. I'm not planning to kill you yet. Well, this You have to analyze the authenticity of the sentence yourself, but having said that, seeing you being tricked by someone other than me is really a bit complicated. Hey~ How should I put it? In short, if you continue to be so stupid, we will The bet should be voided... Black Sun should also be disbanded... Anyway, I can't afford to lose that person. ’
[This damn bastard! He's already here! Maybe he has figured out the whole story! 】
Futaba clenched her little fists tightly, with her pretty face, intellectual and elegant glasses, and the protruding veins on her forehead...
'Hey! You are so cute! ’
Another message flashed out.
Futaba immediately became angry. He replied viciously with at least 300 characters of curse words, and then closed the message bar. As the saying goes, out of sight is out of mind.
[Anyway, since he has said that, he probably won’t do anything to me in a short time. Huh, calm down, calm down. You can’t be disturbed by that bastard. Now you have to concentrate on preparing for the trouble in front of you. , Buffy Marshall...Huh, can you be more difficult than that bitch...】
The girl exhaled fiercely, dispelled her extremely hidden mage eyes, and left behind her dead opponent who had touched Salamun at God knows when.
At the same time
An orc aunt carrying a basket of bread exhaled softly and put the gun filled with [Silver Magic Bullet] under the bread back into her bag. , and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "I really underestimated her. If I had moved faster or slower just now, I should have been beaten by the little one who is ranked 21st on the personal combat power rankings. The girl must have discovered it... But she was able to summon three mage eyes to monitor the entire street the moment before I was about to take action. Is it because she is sharp enough, or because of something else..."
As one of the sixteen pedestrians who had just been seen by Futaba, Jiawen was the only one who noticed something strange about Futaba. At the same time, he also immediately discovered the three mage eyes that were summoned instantly. And that was exactly the second before she was about to attack. Although it was far inferior in all aspects, the [Silver Magic Breaking Bullet], which cost tens of thousands of gold coins alone, was said to be able to kill anyone in a sneak attack. She is a mid-level mage, and the golden pendant called "Farah's Gift" around her neck allows her to immediately move to a preset complete position after a blow, even if she has not completed the kill. Breaking away from self-protection, coupled with the invincible and legendary equipment [Thousand Faces], although it was just a temporary move, Jiawen's preparation for this sneak attack was flawless.
But the premise is a sneak attack...
When she saw the three Mage Eyes being summoned regardless of the skill CD, Jia Wen did not hesitate to give up her carefully prepared plan for more than twenty minutes, just like an ordinary passerby walking by. He found the best ambush position, and even after Futaba dispersed the detection spell, he didn't look back at her again.
Although adventurous spirit is an essential quality for a successful businessman, it also requires a good deal as a prerequisite, so the moment she smelled the danger, Gawen decisively gave up the action, even if The target was still within her range, even though there were two backup attack points ahead.
[I hope that the Duke, who is not too stupid, can resolve everything at the meeting. After all, with my current position, there is no need to eradicate the roots for him~]
She smiled faintly He smiled and soon merged into the shadow of the alley.
……
"Who is that graceful aunt?" Mo Tan sat by the attic window of a building on the left side of Crown Avenue that he rented two days ago, staring at Gawen's back with interest: "She just wanted to Are you going to do it? Is it an assassin from the Marshall family?"
Xiao Ai, who was standing beside him, pursed his lips and leaned forward: "Do you need me to investigate, sir?"
"You are not Cole." Mo Tan shook his head with a smile and put his feet on the wooden table in front of him that was filled with poisons, iron crossbows, daggers, blow darts, and steel wires: "Don't be like an idiot and force yourself to do something you're not good at. , you just need to be a good person now A bystander is enough."
The little priest nodded meekly and handed over the cup of coffee that had been kept warm by Yang Yan for half an hour: "It has reached its limit, sir."< br>
"Yes, it's getting longer and longer."
Mo Tan took the coffee casually, raised his head and drank it all, then waved to Xiao Ai: "You go back to Liuli Pavilion first, I'll return it I want to stay here for a while.”
“Yes.”
The girl nodded slightly, then quietly went downstairs and left, leaving Mo Tan alone by the window, thinking. .
[The costumes of the locals in the aristocratic district are flawless...]
[The pace, manners and various body details are in line with the age, and there are no flaws...]
[The high-quality fine wheat bread for two people is completely consistent with their status and class and regular meal time, without any flaws... 】
[When seeing the Bauhinia envoy, he was subconsciously nervous and frightened. When he looked at the girl, the curiosity that could not be hidden in his eyes was flawless...]
[Perfect performance to the extreme. , but it is too perfect, but it is precisely because it is perfect in other aspects that makes her little chubby hand that is always placed in the basket seem a bit inconsistent. So what is hidden underneath? 】
【Killer? Dead soldier? Idiot? Third party force? Or is she a real passerby? 】
[If I hadn’t forced that girl to use her perception skills just now, what would have been the result? 】
Mo Tan smiled and licked the corner of his mouth that was stained with some coffee, and laughed foolishly...
“It’s getting more and more interesting~”
< br>……
Game time AM11:35
Royal District, Purple Jiu Hall
Futaba, who was the third to arrive, waited in silence for about ten minutes with Grand Duke Simon and Grand Duke Dantès. Baroka, Fernan, Crystal Wolf, Hussein and the Grand Duke of Marshall also returned to this place one after another. Except for the Grand Duke of Crystal Wolf who hesitated to speak and glanced at Futaba, there was no more communication between them.
A moment later, Clive Cresne, the patriarch of the Violet family and the emperor of the empire, slowly walked into the Purple Nine Hall. He smiled at everyone present, and then sat in the middle. On the main seat, two pieces of parchment were taken out...
"According to the report of Quanzi Rebo Cresian, slave trading does exist in the Marshall Territory. After investigation, in the Fire Claw Territory provided , two of the six slave hunting dens located in Mercury City are true. The investigation team initially determined that a large number of victims were hidden in the cellar under the [Flame Mother] tavern and the darkroom of the [Silver Scissors] tailor shop in Mercury City in a short period of time. They have illegally imprisoned people, and there is sufficient evidence that they are weak and have been abused."
Clever paused slightly when he read this, but because most of the lords present followed him before coming over. The cronies had understood the situation, so no one had any reaction. Although Futaba did not ask the few members of the Fire Claw Leader who participated in the investigation team, they sat there without saying a word, staring with burning eyes. The Archduke Buffy Marshall who was supposed to be as clueless as himself.
The latter noticed her gaze immediately and responded with a friendly and kind smile, which was completely different from the ferocious expression he showed at the end of the day when he was forcibly placed under house arrest in the Red Garden.
"I think we have good reasons to believe that Fire Claw Leader and Ms. Futaba did not stir up trouble and deliberately create chaos." Emperor Clairvaux took a deep look at Futaba, nodded at her and said: "So I will not lie about the 'Plague in Misha County' incident before. Let’s pursue it again.”
The girl raised her index finger and pushed up her glasses, showing a sweet smile: “Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty.”
Clever nodded slightly and took it. He picked up the second piece of parchment and continued reading: "However, the investigation team did not No evidence was found everywhere that could prove that this matter is related to the Marshall family. Therefore, although the two dens are indeed consistent with the information provided by the Fire Claw Territory, it is not enough to prove that this matter is directly related to the Marshall family. In addition, the other four places are hidden in the intelligence. Suspected slave-catching dens in: Mercury City Central City Sewer, Central City [Old Lion Retired Knight Activity Center], Trade Zone [Marshall Unified Chamber of Commerce], Trade Zone [Gambler Casino] were confirmed to be invalid, and the investigation team was at the above locations No suspicious signs were found. As for the intelligence allegation, Among the more than ten 'transfer stations' that were found, three of them were suspected of transporting 'black accounts' overseas, and all of them have been abandoned. The other suspected targets were not suspicious... During the whole process of the search, the investigation team found Scissors] A half-burned black book was found in the tailor shop. After preliminary review, It turned out that the above contents were all related to the owner of the black account and a group located in the dark jungle outside the southern border of the empire. In order not to delay the time, Crown Prince Ribo decided to keep members of the Baroka, Hussein and Simon families. One person each was arrested and investigated. Mr. Fudge, the internal affairs manager of Mercury City, Mr. Penello, the leader of the Buffy's Sword Knights, said that he would fully cooperate with the arrest. The Marshall family will dispatch 100 people from the Buffy's Sword Knights, 100 people from the Ice Veil Wizards and three members of the investigation team to the Mirk Forest. It is expected that Departure time is...tomorrow night, while the remaining members of the investigation team are Under the leadership of Ribo, he returned to Salamoun first."
The emperor put the parchment in his hand on the table, looked around at the other people around the table, and said solemnly: "These are it. Ruibo has given me all the feedback. What do you think? ”
In a tacit silence, Buffy Marshall stood up and bowed to Clairvaux and saluted...
"I have nothing to say, your beloved Majesty, Buffy Marshall is willing to plead guilty."
