Chapter 203: You Are a Good Person

“Your Majesty, this is true. How would I dare deceive you!” the Secret Agent leader said helplessly and complainingly, “In fact, we have only mastered the situation of a part of the victims. There are many more people we missed. These people all have a motive to assassinate Highness Rioke. Moreover, it’s possible the murderer wasn’t targeting him, but just wanted to kill the Nobles with him, and Highness Rioke just happened to be there. Calculating this way, the possible range of the murderer is too wide. For a while, even with the Royal Secret Agent’s great ability, we can’t figure it out!”

“Sigh!” Hearing this, the Emperor stamped his foot in anger, turned around twice in place, and then asked: “Did you go to the scene to see? What kind of person is the murderer? How many are there? To be able to kill over a hundred Guards, the power must be not small!”

“I went to the scene as soon as I got the news. I just came back from there!” the Secret Agent leader then said: “According to my observation, there was only one murderer!”

“One person?” Hearing this, the Emperor was immediately greatly shocked and said: “One person wiped out over a hundred Guards?”

“Yes, and judging from the traces at the scene, this person appeared very relaxed. He even killed so many people with bare hands. The Guards scattered and fled, but not a single one ran out. They were all beaten to death by him!” The Secret Agent leader wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and added: “Besides, this person is obviously extremely hostile towards Nobles. He, he didn’t just kill people. Several Noble Young Masters died in the early hours of the morning. Before they died, they all suffered inhuman abuse!”

“What kind of inhuman abuse?” the Emperor immediately asked in a furious voice.

“Oh, their limbs were all crushed by a perverted force, their jaws were removed, their eyes were also exploded, and then the people were hung up. They painfully wailed on the walls for several hours before slowly dying a miserable death!” the Secret Agent leader said shivering.

“What? They died so miserably?” The Emperor was now so angry his face turned green, and he shouted in great rage: “What do you Royal Secret Agents eat? How come you still don’t have a single clue?”

“Oh~” The Secret Agent leader hesitated slightly, then steeled his heart and said: “Your Majesty, actually, based on the handprints left by the culprit at the scene, as well as some other clues, I deduced that this person seems to be the same culprit who robbed the Augustus Family last time!”

Actually, the Secret Agent leader had suspected this for a long time, but he didn’t want to say it now. Because they hadn’t solved the last case, and now that guy committed such a big case again, that would be saying the Royal Secret Agents were incompetent, right? But seeing the Emperor’s posture now, if he didn’t produce some clues, the furious Emperor might just destroy him right now. Helplessly, the Secret Agent leader chose the lesser of two evils, and thus spoke his judgment.

“Hmm? Really?” The Emperor’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly chased: “How did you determine that?”

“There are mainly three suspicious points. The first is that the fist traces on the deceased are very large. Judging from the traces, the murderer’s fist is actually as big as a normal person’s head. If he wasn’t wearing iron gloves, then only the Robber who robbed the Augustus Family is a similar pervert. The Robber left particularly large handprints on the treasury door too, which are very similar to these traces.” The Secret Agent leader explained: “The second is the strength. These two people’s strength is perverted, one more than the other. The Robber last time could kick a pillar in half with one kick and demolished that luxurious shop in a few moves. And the murderer this time could kill a Guard wearing Refined Iron Battle Armor on the spot with one punch. The person was beaten flying, and the iron armor was beaten to pieces. It’s simply too terrifying! Analyzing from the traces, this is definitely not a skill released by relying on Battle Qi, but purely an attack using raw strength!”

“How can there be such a perverted human in the world? I’m afraid it’s an Orc?” the Emperor asked in confusion.

“Your Majesty, based on my many years of experience and analysis, even among the Beast Race, the Bear Clan with the strongest strength doesn’t have such perverted power!” the Secret Agent leader said with a bitter smile.

“Then what is going on?” the Emperor also asked gloomily.

“It’s because we can’t figure it out either that we have had no clues all along!” the Secret Agent leader said helplessly.

“Right, didn’t you just say there was another suspicious point? Continue!” the Emperor suddenly asked.

“Yes!” The Secret Agent leader hurriedly said: “The last suspicious point is the length of the arms. People from the Augustus Family recalled that the Robber’s arms were particularly long, actually reaching his own feet. This is a very obvious feature, but we sent out tens of thousands of people and just didn’t find such a person. And this time, when I inspected the scene, I discovered that the distance between the murderer’s footprints and the victim’s footprints was very far. Normally, one would need to rely on a long sword to reach that distance, but he could hit people with his fists. Obviously, this person’s arms are also amazingly long!”

“Since there is such an obvious feature, why haven’t you found him yet?” the Emperor shouted in rage: “If you had discovered his trail earlier and eliminated him, would my nephew still be dead?”

“Your Majesty, we find it strange too! Normally, with such an obvious feature, with our Royal Secret Agent’s informants all over the country, we should definitely have found him.” The Secret Agent leader then said with a crying face: “But, I don’t know why, my arrest warrant has been out for months, and he just hasn’t left a single trace. I suspect~” Saying this, he stopped speaking, as if he had unspeakable difficulties.

Seeing this, the Emperor hurriedly and angrily said: “Suspect what? Speak quickly?”

“It is like this!” The Secret Agent leader said helplessly: “You also know, although our Royal Secret Agents are widely distributed, after all, they have been established for less than a hundred years, and our foundation is shallow. We have never made much progress in infiltrating those Great Noble Families. Thinking about it now, if our Royal Secret Agents searched with full force in the Imperial Capital for so long and didn’t find a single clue, then I’m afraid the problem lies with those few Great Noble Families! Especially the one that has a hatred with the Augustus Family.”

“The Stephen Family?” The Emperor immediately understood the Secret Agent leader’s meaning. He then walked back and forth in the dining room a few times in annoyance, and then said: “Although the Stephen and Augustus Families aren’t very harmonious, their relationship in the past was still passable. It only deteriorated recently. At least when the Augustus Family was robbed, the two families hadn’t reached the stage of life and death. So I can’t imagine why the Stephen Family would deal with the Augustus Family?”

“This, this subordinate isn’t very clear either!” the Secret Agent leader immediately lowered his head and said, “But, Prince Mark’s son, had, oh, some conflicts with the Stephen Family!”

“That conflict seems to have passed, right? Didn’t Little Stephen beat him up? Would the Stephen Family still hold a grudge and insist on committing such a big case?” The Emperor shook his head: “It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense. Unless the Stephen Family went mad, they wouldn’t be this crazy!”

The Emperor then turned around twice more, and said: “Maybe there is some other hidden reason here. Do you think it’s possible that some other power wants to destroy the unity within our Griffin Kingdom, so they deliberately instigated this?”

“We cannot rule out this possibility!” The Secret Agent leader was immediately reminded and hurriedly said excitedly, flattering: “Your Majesty is wise!”

“Alright, cut the nonsense!” The Emperor then waved his hand and ordered: “Now, I grant you the highest authority, allowing you to use all forces. You must find the cause and effect of these matters within one month. If you can’t find out, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

“Yes!” The Secret Agent leader hurriedly agreed.

“Get out!” The Emperor waved his hand and cursed.

“This subordinate takes his leave!” The Secret Agent leader backed out while wiping his cold sweat.

…

Old Xie, who had killed over a hundred people last night, was in a slightly better mood today. After getting up and going through his routine exercise, he didn’t even have time to eat breakfast before hurriedly returning to the Castle, afraid that the Little Siren would cause some more trouble.

With an uneasy mood, Old Xie returned to the Castle. Soon, noisy sounds came to his ears. Obviously, the Imps and the Cyclops were all getting up and washing up. Old Xie immediately let out a sigh of relief. At least it showed that the Little Siren hadn’t continued to activate that terrifying skill. But thinking about it, it was also normal. Lan Fake was a Saint Domain Expert after all. Having suffered a loss once, he shouldn’t be knocked down again.

Old Xie came to the square to take a look. Sure enough, it was buzzing with voices, and almost everyone was up. After greeting everyone, he hurried to his room and knocked gently on the door.

“Come in!” a soft and beautiful voice sounded.

Old Xie pushed the door open and went in. He saw that the Little Siren had returned to her Human Form again, standing on the ground with two fair, tender legs, while still holding that sculpture tightly in her arms.

“Sigh!” Old Xie felt tired just looking at her. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said: “Can’t you put that thing down? It’s very heavy!”

“Mine!” the Little Siren continued to say in a determined tone.

“I give up!” Old Xie said weakly, covering his forehead.

“Hehe!” The Little Siren was amused by Old Xie’s funny action. Then, she suddenly put on a serious face and said solemnly: “Thank you for saving me. I know you are a good person!”
