"Your Highness, when the words "troubles" and "unmentionable" are used together, there seems to be a sense of astringency."
"I'm serious!" Lux punched Chai Anping on the arm hard, causing him to grimace in pain.
"Ahem... I should have one too, right?"
Chai Anping thought about his life experience and his hidden identity as a mage, and nodded heavily: "It's true!"
"What is it?"
Lux's eyes peered through her fingers, showing a hint of curiosity.
"Uh... For example, my downstairs neighbor wants to help me arrange a blind date every day." Chai Anping opened his fingers one by one and calculated: "Or for example, my childhood sweetheart is... uh, a hopeless liar...
Oh, it’s so annoying.”
"Blind date...childhood sweetheart...hehehe." Lux retracted her head and closed her eyes: "Mr. Shelley, you are not serious. We can't continue talking today."
"Haha, I'm actually quite troubled." Chai Anping scratched his head: "Where is Your Highness?"
"...I didn't say I was troubled!"
Chai Anping:???
"Then let's play a game. No jokes allowed. Each person takes turns talking." Chai Anping showed off his cards.
"No, I'm going back." Lux pursed her lips and turned the table.
…
…
After completing the swordsmanship and physical training the next day, Chai Anping went to the headquarters of the Public Security Department to obtain information on the first two murder cases. The Public Security Department attached great importance to this serial murder case and had already set up a task force. He was
I conduct independent investigations as an inspector of the Inspection Division.
Of course, the more realistic thing to say is - a hot face meets a cold butt.
The Department of Public Security did not appreciate his help, but it could not refuse it. After all, Chai Anping discovered this case, and it would be a bit "stealing credit" not to involve others.
So they simply let Chai Anping investigate by himself, so as not to hinder their own investigation.
Information is shared between both parties, which is good news for Chai Anping.
Driving to the laboratory, Chai Anping opened the compiled files.
"The first murder case: The deceased was a young woman named Luo Lan who lived alone. She was the daughter of the owner of the XX Gym. She was violated before her death.
He was killed in his own home. The murder weapons were two double knives used by his father. He was disemboweled and his heart was missing. Two short knives were embedded in the heart of the corpse, one behind the other. There was a big palm left on the wall."
There was a rubbing of that palm in the file. Chai Anping carefully compared it with the palm he saw last night: "It's indeed the same."
The more detailed description made him take a few breaths, the cruelty of his methods was simply outrageous.
"The murderer's first case often has a special tendency. This person may be someone from Luo Lan's social circle." Chai Anping frowned and read all the details of the murder case.
"Male, powerful, cruel and bloodthirsty."
"The second phase of the murder case: the deceased was a drunkard in his fifties, who was the owner of a small shop. He died in an alley on the way home. The murder weapon was a broken stick that passed through his heart.
, the lower abdomen was still cut open afterwards, the internal organs were spilled all over the floor, and the same bloody fingerprints were printed on the wall of the alley."
The dossier also specifically noted the alcoholic’s interpersonal relationships:
"I have few enemies, and none of my relatives or friends practice martial arts."
"Sir, what are you looking at?" Prosesi, who was studying at the side, saw Chai Anping flipping through something with a frown on his face. He thought it was some advanced alchemical problem, so he came over to take a look.
"Huh? This doesn't seem to be..."
"Read your book!"
"oh……"
Prosesi touched his barely there neck in embarrassment, turned around - and was stunned.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
"Huh? Why are you reading a book?" Chai Anping turned around and was stunned: "Lux... Your Highness, why are you here?"
Lux didn't knock on the door this time!
Came in directly...
"Ah haha, sir, I remembered that there are still two basins of clothes to dry at home, so I will go back today."
…
…
"Lux, are you setting up spies on Sirode's side?" Chai Anping closed the file and stared.
"Hehe, Gracie, you are so smart." Lux made a face: "I also know that you went to the Public Security Department, quickly, quickly... report the new progress of the case!"
"...Your Highness, you should call me Mr. Shelley, so that you can be more restrained."
"How is that possible?!" Lux pulled a chair over and sat down: "We are already close friends, Gracie!"
"Your Highness! I have to tell you, your thoughts are so beautiful!"
Chai Anping stood up and put the file under his arm, ready to run away, joking... Lux blatantly came to play a detective game with him, could Galen not know about this?
However, this girl's ears and eyes were very good. Chai Anping glanced at her and did not comment on her behavior.
"By the way, has His Highness also planted spies near my house?!"
"Your Highness, let me tell you the truth that the person who lived in my house last time was really my childhood sweetheart from the same hometown... You really don't have to worry..."
"I told my brother that I'm here to teach you about alchemy, so don't worry about my brother stabbing you to death with a sword!" A vein popped up on Lux's forehead, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"Your Crown Guard family has met so many alchemists, why do you need to learn from me? Pioneer Captain Galen also believes this excuse?" Chai Anping raised his eyebrows.
"Humph, because I told my brother that you are Sir William's disciple." Lux said with a slight sense of pride: "When I say this, my family will not doubt this or that, and they are quite happy for me and Sir William.
The disciples who made friends... Well, the interactions between nobles are not always like this."
"Sir William?!"
"Sir William likes you very much. You should find more opportunities to get close to him!" Lux rolled her eyes and pointedly said.
"Maybe……"
Chai Anping shrugged, and the gentleman's figure flashed in his mind.
The nobles of Demacia are obviously not as honest and friendly as described in the official background. Chai Anping is indifferent to most nobles he doesn't understand.
For example, he was not even interested in asking about Kashina's family.
"You are talking nonsense like this. If the news reaches Sir William, won't it offend people?"
"Hey... I have already discussed it with Sir, and the old man is very happy with it."
Oh ho... this is interesting.
Chai Anping narrowed his eyes and began to feel secretly vigilant. Someone was trying to take advantage of him, right?
After the Ellerbella incident, the soul of Chai Anping, a simple and ignorant college student with cerebral palsy, had long been strangled to death by him.
On the other hand, Lux secretly sighed in her heart: "If Jazz knew what I said, it would be too late to be happy!"
"Can you show me the file?"
"Uh... no, even though what you said makes sense, I just won't show it to you." Chai Anping couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Lux's proud look.
"Why?!"
"You didn't discuss it with me in advance, and this baby is unhappy."
