Chapter 175 Confirmation of identity and start of investigation

"I know it still sounds a little unbelievable, but I do have a way to prove it."

Unaware that Leon had verified the truth of her words in another way, in order to prove her identity to the Cleanup Bureau, the princess, who had been thinking about it all night yesterday, took off her old shawl and placed it on the table, and introduced herself seriously:
“The wool used for this wool shawl comes from the Merino County, and is the wool of the Merino white mountain sheep that is unique there. This kind of wool is extremely fine, not easy to get dirty, and has a pure color that is easy to print and dye, so it is very popular among the nobles.

However, because the Merino White Mountain Sheep grows slowly and lives on rocky cliffs, it is very difficult to collect wool, resulting in extremely low wool production. Therefore, the price is extremely expensive. Even among the nobles, not many can afford it, and most of the wool used to make clothing is blended.

This shawl was a gift from my father on my twelfth birthday. It is made entirely of Merino white mountain sheep wool, which feels completely different from those blended wool fabrics. The print on it is the royal red-collared robin, and the tasseled flower net was also woven by my personal maid. There will never be another shawl like it in the entire capital."

"But it's just a woolen shawl after all. It shouldn't be that difficult to imitate, right? Besides, we don't understand wool, so we can't tell whether what you said is true or false."

After patiently listening to the princess's story about the origin of the woolen shawl, Jerry frowned and asked:
"Do you know how difficult it is to forcibly erase the existence of a princess from everyone's memory? This ability is almost close to the realm of God.

Not to mention the entire world, even if the scope is just the kingdom, or even narrowed down to the entire capital, it would be extremely difficult to find such an unusual... um... thing.

So rather than a princess being forgotten, I would rather believe that this is the ravings of a madman. After all, it is more realistic to believe that someone forged a shawl than to erase the existence of a princess. "

"Your doubts are completely reasonable, but please don't be anxious. I haven't finished what I want to say yet."

In order to get everything back, Princess Veronica had made sufficient preparations. She was not anxious when Jerry questioned her. Instead, she pushed the shawl on the table towards Leon and said calmly:

"Mr. Leon... you have a magical broom that can fly into the sky, am I right?"

The hangover after a night of shopping, the news of his early marriage, and the discrepancy between memory and reality almost made Leon's brain crash. But out of trust in the badge system, he still cooperated with a slight "hmm", then rubbed his temple and looked at the princess, hoping that she could really provide strong enough evidence.

"That's right. You held me in your arms and rode on that broom yesterday."

Under the gaze of Leon and the others, Princess Veronica unfolded the shawl on the table, pointed at the delicately woven tassel net, and said with a hint of relief in her eyes:

"My personal maid thought my outfit was a bit revealing... well, she used the tassels of her shawl to make a net, and when I got on your broom, the tassels of my shawl scraped against your broom, and it was torn a little.

So if you haven't used that broom since yesterday noon, there's a good chance it still has a wisp of reddish-white wool hanging from it—the only pure Merino wool shawl in the entire capital."

? ! ! !
After listening to Princess Veronica's words, Leon was slightly stunned, then immediately took out the witch's broom and checked the branches at the end of the broom.

Lyon and the others were surprised to find that although some of the wool seemed to have been blown away by the wind, there was indeed a little wool hanging on the tail of the broom, and no matter how it felt, the color, or the thickness, it was exactly the same as the wool on the shawl on the table.

"Huh... I think this evidence should be able to prove something, right?"

After Leon and Jerry finished comparing the wool, the princess breathed a sigh of relief, loosened her clenched hands unconsciously, and said calmly:
"As for the situation of Merino wool, you can ask someone who knows about weaving to see if I am lying. If what I said is true, it proves that I did come into contact with Mr. Lyon yesterday and rode on his broom.

Although it sounds a bit boastful, with a woman like me sitting behind him, I believe Mr. Leon will definitely have no memory of it, so the only explanation is that except for me, the victim, everyone's memory is problematic, do you agree?" "..."

Agree... This should be considered as final confirmation!
"Let's find the director!"

Realizing that this woman who claimed to be the princess was 90% sure what she said was the truth, Jerry couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked at Leon solemnly, and said through his soul:
"If it is confirmed that someone used an abnormal object to attack a princess, then this matter will be very serious. According to the agreement between the bureau and the twelve kingdoms, this level of matter must be reported to the general bureau immediately, and then the director of the branch will take over and preside over the investigation. From now on, this matter is no longer under our jurisdiction!"

……

"So... the year-end review is scheduled for next week, but the princess was attacked by an evil god-level anomaly?"

After listening to the reports of Leon and the other man with drunken eyes, the red-haired director, who was forcibly dragged back from his sleep, couldn't help but let out a sigh of extreme helplessness.

Don’t do that kind of thing!

Such a terrible situation occurred before the year-end review. Even if it was resolved beautifully afterwards, it cannot escape the evaluation of poor supervision. The evaluation of the Virgin Bureau this year will probably be unprecedentedly low, and it will directly become the last among the 87 branches.

What? Ever since the bloody night of Ryan, our bureau has been locked in last place, and even the four characters "Olivia" have been engraved on this year's pillar of shame in advance?

Ahahaha, that's okay, that's okay...

After leaning back in his chair with a look of despair, the red-haired director waved his hand to clear the remaining alcohol in his body. Then, with a lot of resentment that he had nowhere to vent, he began to think about how to solve this fatal problem as soon as possible.

First of all, we must find the abnormal object or the person who uses the abnormal object!

"This... um... what's your name?"

After hearing the red-haired chief's question, Princess Veronica, who was observing her lips, blinked and nodded slightly.

"Veronica, Your Excellency, just call me Veronica."

"Okay, Your Highness Veronica."

The red-haired director entered "work mode" and swept away the decadence he had just shown when he was drunk. He made a solemn promise:

“I assure you in the name of the head of the virgin branch of the Cleanup Bureau that from now on until this matter is over, you are absolutely safe and no one can hurt you.

In addition, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation seriously. Our Virgin Branch will do its best to restore everything to its original state in the shortest possible time!"
