Heaton tapped his fingers lightly on the table in the conference room and pondered.
“Slumming doesn’t lead to anything, does it?”
"That's right." Lan nodded. Although he had expected it, he was still a little helpless.
Yesterday's trip to the slums came back in vain, so Lan had to report to Heaton about the discovery of Shura and [Shangri-La] in the council hall tonight.
"[Shangri-La] has a very high life-saving ability, so it is very likely that it is Shura. However, it is difficult to determine whether it is the murderer or an accomplice."
[Shangri-La] can teleport the user or the designated target to a pre-marked location. The user of this excellent life-saving Teigu will not die easily.
However, the above words are all Heaton's explanation to Lan. He is familiar with the plot and knows clearly who the murderer is, but knowing who it is is of no use, and there is no way to find their hiding place.
"Gozzi, please pay attention to the XC District and Beicheng District of the Imperial Capital recently, and strengthen vigilance, especially for missing children or families with children.
Lan, it's hard for us to find any clues as Shangri-La is hidden, but I feel that the murderer and Shura will not come to the imperial capital for no reason. They must have some plan. If you can't find it, just wait for them to jump out."
"But those children..." Lan frowned, but finally nodded.
There is no way to do this. It is easy to hide from open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows. The enemy is in the dark. If you want to really prevent the other party from committing crimes again, the manpower and resources required will undoubtedly be huge.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing. General Nanga Kidd and General Xinghemi disappeared at home." Goziqi suddenly interrupted.
"Haha, didn't they have a normal relationship with Ernest before? Why are they hanging out with his son again?"
When Heaton heard this, he still didn't understand that the reason why these two people suddenly disappeared under Goziqi's surveillance could only be the result of [Shangri-La].
"Your Majesty, I'm worried about the Guards..."
"It doesn't matter, with General Nadetta here, there won't be any trouble.
But this Shura wants to make some small moves in the imperial capital. Why, does he want to avenge his father?"
Obviously, Shura is not such a filial person. The possibility of revenge is extremely small, but the element of wanting to cause trouble is extremely high.
"Okay, let's go back first. Lan, you haven't had any rest all day. Go to bed early. There is still work to be done tomorrow. As for Shura, let the bullets fly for a while."
Heaton stood up from his seat first and walked out of the parliament hall.
"Oh, by the way, you arrested Oka from the security team? You should wait, Lan. In this case, the position of captain should be vacant for now."
After saying that, Heaton continued to walk out. It was already getting late, and he still had to finish his evening exercise.
I'm afraid things won't be peaceful in the imperial capital recently.
Heaton felt the wind in his ears and thought about the people or forces that might be involved.
Needless to say, Shura, Shang Pu and other subsequent hound troops don’t know how many there are now.
What role does the oil dealer play in this?
Why do we feel that there is a high possibility that the rebels will intervene?
The rebels who wanted to overthrow the minister had cooperated with the minister's son. Heaton laughed as he thought about this possibility.
On the other side, Lan left the palace and walked to his residence in the inner city.
Since the death of the minister, no one can live in the palace anymore except those specially invited by Heaton.
The street lights on both sides of the road were a little dim, and occasionally one seemed to be broken, making a small section of the road dim.
Yesterday he took Leonai around the slums, but until noon today, he found nothing.
He did not tell Leone his true identity, he only said that he was from the police force and came to investigate the case of missing children.
Leonai was really enthusiastic. Hearing that a big shot was here to investigate the case, he actively introduced to him which users were long-term residents of the slums and which ones had recently come to the slums.
Why did Your Majesty say that I was a little anxious to arrest Oka?
Oil dealer? Slum?
Lan is not a stupid person, and she can't help feeling a little regretful.
If I arrest Oka now, I am not trying to scare the snake. Oka has only taken office not long ago, and even if the oil dealer bribes him, he will not directly tell him what he is going to do.
If things develop normally, they will definitely continue to deepen their transactions, and only then will the oil merchants’ ideas be revealed.
But now, when I learn that the person I chose to protect was caught for bribery, I must restrain myself.
But I have been arrested. It seems that I will have to talk to the mayor of XC District tomorrow.
Lan was thinking about her plans for tomorrow, getting closer and closer to her residence.
"Hey, handsome guy."
?
Lan suddenly seemed to hear a familiar voice.
He turned to look at the grass on the roadside, feeling a little surprised for a moment.
"Why did you come to the inner city!"
Lan looked at Leonai, who was hiding in the grass with a dirty head full of leaves, a little in disbelief.
"Oh, how can the inner city stop me, Mr. Leonai!"
Leonai stood up from the bushes, shook the leaves on his body, and looked proud.
"How long have you been here?" Lan suddenly asked, speaking very fast.
"Half a day...ah no, just came." Leonai blurted out.
"Okay, I understand, come with me."
Lan was a little speechless, but she understood in her heart, and without trying to expose her, she changed direction and walked towards the outer city.
He could tell at a glance that Leonai must have followed him during the day and sneaked into the inner city, but he could not get out.
In recent years, the defense of the inner city, both in and out, has become stricter under Heaton's request.
Although I don't know how she got in, it's not easy to get out, let alone her clothes.
Just this outfit with a large amount of skin exposed, it seems that even if it is worn by civilians, if you want to enter and leave the inner city normally, this outfit will attract the attention of the guards.
The normal way is not possible, and the small inner city wall will definitely not be able to stop her, Leonai. With the Teigu, she can easily cross the wall, but with such a big target during the day, it is definitely not possible.
No, Leonai simply found a pit and lay down in it to sleep. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he saw an acquaintance.
"Why are you secretly following me?"
"I...I think you are a big shot..."
"You still want to break into a house?"
"Don't slander me. I'm not that kind of person. I'm just a little curious. Am I not a member of the security force? Why did I suddenly turn around to the inner city? There are all big shots here. Ah! That direction just now seemed to be King's Heights.
,Did you just come out of the palace?"
Leonai suddenly shouted, pointing at Lan, his eyes widened, as if he had discovered something terrible.
"Okay, stop pretending. I am an internal affairs officer. There is nothing surprising when I come out of the palace."
Lan rolled her eyes and explained.
"Interior officer? This is the first time I have seen such a high official. You are so young and you have already become what everyone calls a blood-sucking official!"
