Demacia does not have the high-tech criminal investigation methods that Chai Anping had in his previous life, but the police officers and kingdom spies they trained cannot be underestimated. This is the third similar murder case. After comparison, they can confirm that a powerful person has come to the capital.
And a ruthless serial killer.
In this case, the death of Amuda Laurent alarmed the palace, especially Jarvan III, who also thought about it with Fiona - Amuda, who was originally alive and well, was suddenly killed at this juncture, and it was very difficult for him to do so.
It's hard to say this is a coincidence.
"Or is this a cover-up?"
After Fiona left the scene of the crime, she went directly to the palace to meet with Jarvan III to discuss how much benefit the Laurent family could retain.
"Your Majesty, our Laurent family has indeed offended many people in recent years in order to gain a foothold. I can accept bloody revenge, but this method is really contrary to normal methods. I hope your Majesty will send spies to investigate this matter secretly.
.”
"What are you going to do if I find you?" Jiawen III sat in the royal study, his expression a little gloomy.
"If I were a great noble, I, Laurent, would definitely launch a life-and-death duel with the whole family, and we would fight to the death!"
"……All right."
…
…
After receiving a brief analysis report from the Sheriff, Chai Anping left with Lux.
After the initial panic, Lux showed surprising interest in the case: "We will investigate this case, right?"
"Is it... um, us?" Chai Anping's hand paused as he flipped through the investigation report, then he raised his head and met Lux's eyes with a hint of eagerness: "Uh... don't even think about it, Galen Vanguard Commander knows how to use a sword.
Pin me to the wall!"
It turns out that this girl’s refusal to leave has this meaning...
"If you don't tell me, how will my brother know?" Lux raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and then under Chai Anping's gaze, she deliberately came over to read the analysis report of the Public Security Department with Chai Anping.
Upon seeing this, Chai Anping pulled the report towards him, and Lux moved closer...
"Your Highness, you smell so good."
"You stinking scoundrel!" Lux's face turned red and she punched her with her pink fist.
Chai Anping laughed and handed the report over: "Let's see if you can, don't really want to get involved. I have an intuition... This is definitely not a good thing."
"I'm very powerful!"
Chai Anping made a teasing nasal sound: "It's still early, would your Highness want to go to the port for a stroll?"
"If you mention it at this time, I really don't know whether Mr. Shelley, you are changing the subject or you want to take the opportunity to make an appointment with me." Lux rolled her eyes at Chai Anping while holding on to the report.
"No need to doubt it, just changing the subject."
"Excessive!"
Demacia City is a port city. The most magnificent square in the city is facing the blue waves. It is a scenic spot in the capital. Travelers and lovers who come here like to take a walk here at night.
At night, the sea under the stars and the bright moon is known as the "Ocean Gem".
This is also one of the most prosperous areas in Demacia. All the land near the square belongs to the royal family. All the scenery has been specially designed by craftsmen, and the magnificent marble sculptures have different shapes.
"Then I will accept it as Your Highness."
Chai Anping stopped a carriage and neatly asked Lacus to get on.
"..."
"I heard that a new ice cream with exploding fruit flavor has recently been launched. I would like to ask Your Highness to try it."
Chai Anping suddenly had a whim, not just to take the opportunity to get close to Lux, but to go to the beach to change his mood. After all, he had just seen such a horrific and bloody scene, and if he went back like that, he would probably not have to sleep at night.
"What is the exploding fruit?"
"A fruit that will blow people up when touched. I heard it is very delicious."
Chai Anping didn't know what strange person tasted this fruit and made it into ice cream, but after being exposed to alchemy, he was completely off track with ordinary people in terms of "taste".
"Weird..."
Lux muttered, but did not refuse anymore.
The carriage quickly drove to the beach. A man and a woman wearing exquisite dresses appeared in the square, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. However, under the cover of the night, no one relied on Lux's identity as the crown jewel of the Crownguard family.
Chai Anping sniffed his collar and smiled slightly. After the sweat stains dried, the smell of sweat became much lighter, so there was no need to worry about embarrassment.
The cool sea breeze blew, and Lux couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief while facing the sea.
She jumped happily and ran to the embankment. Her nimble steps and long golden hair made her look like an elf.
As the future heir of the Crown Guard family, Lux is under greater pressure than she imagined. Although she is not like Fiona, who can support a family by herself, it is not as easy as it seems to ordinary people.
So she often goes out with Kasina, but Kasina is very old-fashioned, and her words are far less nice than Chai Anping's, and she won't take the initiative to do anything extraordinary with her.
For her, it was a new feeling to go out with Mr. Shelley.
Of course... mainly because Mr. Shelley is so courageous.
Chai Anping did not interrupt the girl's innocent interest, but turned around and bought two boxes of exploding fruit-flavored ice cream from a nearby stall.
"Taste it? Your Highness?"
"Just call me Lux, Mr. Shelley." Lux playfully pulled back her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze.
"Then at least you can get your husband." Chai Anping handed over the ice cream and laughed.
Lux rolled her eyes at him when she heard this, then opened the box and took a scoop of ice cream to eat.
"hiss--"
"What does this smell like?!"
A taste she had never experienced before exploded on her taste buds. It couldn't be said to taste great, but it felt extremely unique and interesting.
She ran to sit on a bench along the berm and began to eat while blowing the cold air.
Chai Anping sat down next to her and ate every bite, looking at Lux's cute way of eating from time to time.
After a moment, Lux cheered softly with satisfaction and slumped down on the bench.
"Lux, my image is completely gone!"
Chai Anping couldn't help but remind him.
"Ah... please, Mr. Gracie, please close your eyes first, I... I will collapse for a while." Lux's voice also sounded a little shy.
Chai Anping:???
There was an illusion in his heart that the image of the goddess was disillusioned. Chai Anping thought for a moment and then slumped down imitating Lux.
"Hey, it's quite comfortable."
"Pfft..."
That is to say, no one was passing by here at the moment, otherwise seeing two young men and women dressed in extraordinary clothes sitting on the bench in such an inelegant posture would probably attract onlookers.
"Hey, Shelley...cough, Gracie, do you have any hidden troubles?" Lux suddenly said, covering her face with her hands.
When Chai Anping heard this, three options flashed through his mind:
