Chapter 176 The Secret of the Royal Family
Chapter 176 The Secret of the Royal Family
"Thank you. I will do my best to cooperate."
After taking another peek at the red-haired chief's lips and confirming that the color of his lipstick was the same as the half lipstick mark on Leon's collar, Princess Veronica's eyes flickered and she immediately spoke:
"Mr. Director, although I am not an employee of your Cleanup Bureau, I thought about it last night and felt that there might be something wrong with these three people. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to listen to my thoughts?"
Your thoughts?
Sensing some subtle hostility from the beautiful woman opposite, the red-haired director couldn't help but narrow his eyes, then quietly controlled a strand of hair, pulled Leon's palm and pressed it on the black goat's forehead, signaling him to check the state of the princess' soul, and then nodded with a smile:
"Of course it's convenient, or we should say it's very welcome. After all, having a target to investigate is much better than just looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Then excuse me."
Controlling herself from thinking about the lip print and lipstick, Princess Veronica took a deep breath, then frowned and narrated:
“First, there is a pair of grandparents. Yesterday, because I was on a private visit, I was very cautious. Apart from Mr. Lyon, I had almost no close contact with anyone. The only exception was the servants’ kitchen on the west side of the Ryan’s manor.
At that time, Mr. Lyon was ambushed while chasing the rebels. He found a kitchen and seemed to want to replenish something. I was outside the kitchen coaxing a little girl named Phoebe, who patted me on the chest several times. When Mr. Lyon came out again, he didn't recognize me.
Later, when Mr. Lyon forgot about me and left on his own, I wanted to ask him the reason, but was stopped by the little girl's grandmother and failed to stop Mr. Lyon in time. I suspect her grandmother stopped me on purpose.
Also, although there is a big age gap between the two of them, the old lady named Lucy claims to be Phoebe's sister, and the little girl named Phoebe seems to really regard her as her sister. I think these two people are very suspicious. "
Are they a pair of weird grandparents who call each other sisters by their given name?
After exchanging a glance with Leon who was stroking the sheep's head and receiving a look of affirmation from the princess that she was not lying, the red-haired chief thought for a moment, then nodded and continued to ask:
"Very valuable information. Do you remember what the grandfather and grandson looked like?"
"remember."
Princess Veronica answered with great certainty:
"The old lady named Lucy has a hoarse voice and a slightly hunched back. She looks about 60 or 70 years old. The little girl named Phoebe has a round face and is small. She is about 6 or 7 years old. She has a very special look in her eyes. There is a kind of... um... how should I put it?"
After frowning and recalling for a while, Princess Veronica said uncertainly:
"It feels like... a very innocent feeling, but not the innocent feeling of a child. A child's eyes also have emotions and thoughts, but the child's eyes give people a feeling of... um..."
After recalling the past with her, Leon next to her added tentatively:
"Clear stupidity?"
"Yes! That's what it means!"
After looking sideways at Leon, Princess Veronica nodded and said:
"That child is like a blank sheet of paper that has been wiped clean. His intelligence seems to be lower than other children of the same age, but he is not really stupid. It is because he has experienced too little, which leads to a strange blankness of knowing nothing."
"I see. This is indeed very valuable information."
Looking at Jerry who was also thinking, and giving him a look to check immediately, the red-haired director who had memorized the information firmly asked in a gentle voice:
"What about the third person?"
The third person...
Princess Veronica hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally spoke:
"The third suspicious person is my brother Joshua. Although he didn't show any abnormality, I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that he seems to be involved... Hmm... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say that! After all, if Joshua is really involved in this matter, considering how much he and his mother hate me, I'm afraid I would have been killed directly."
"That's it."
Looking at the princess who had raised the third suspicious person but suddenly rejected him, the red-haired director nodded calmly, then smiled, stretched out his hand, and gestured for someone to come outside the door.
"Your Highness Veronica, if you don't have any other information to provide, then it will be our job as the Cleanup Bureau. Please go to Leon's office and wait for a while!
Please don't misunderstand, we don't want to hide anything from you, it's just that you have been forgotten now, so I don't know if the royal family's manual that can silence the soul will still work for you. Eavesdropping on our communication may bring additional dangers, I hope you can understand. "
"Ok."
Princess Veronica nodded when she heard this, and she stood up, pushed the door and walked out. When her footsteps disappeared in the corridor, the red-haired director immediately began to assign tasks:
“Jerry, ask your friends to go to Ryan’s kitchen and write down all the smells that appeared there yesterday at noon, then compare them one by one and find the grandparents that the sisters called each other as soon as possible.
Then please help me notify Emma and ask her to temporarily put aside other tasks for the next two days and stay vigilant in the bureau at all times. Once there are any traces of the rebels, go out directly and bring them back to me!
Finally, Leon, after you go home and deliver the hair, immediately take my note to the palace and investigate Prince Joshua to see if he is involved in this matter!"
"Ok."
After listening to the task assigned by the red-haired chief, Jerry immediately pushed the door and left, but Leon hesitated for a moment and suggested:
"Chief, if possible, can you find someone to swap tasks with me?"
"I'm afraid not."
The red-haired director shook his head and said:
"You are the only person in the bureau who can tell lies. You are the best person to investigate Prince Joshua."
"..."
It’s not that I think this job arrangement is inappropriate, it’s mainly because I just gave that guy a big beating yesterday and spit in his face, I think he may not be willing to cooperate with me...
“Leon, believe me, that woman is extraordinary, her intuition is definitely worth taking seriously.”
Looking at Leon who still looked somewhat reluctant, the red-haired director said earnestly:
"If she is really a princess, then she is the direct descendant of the Twelve Royal Families, and the Twelve Royal Families... well... let me tell you this, if you trace back the royal families of the twelve existing kingdoms, they can actually be considered as members of the Cleanup Bureau."
"what?"
"it is true."
After looking at Leon who was full of surprise, the red-haired chief hesitated for a moment, but finally explained:
“Including the destroyed Kingdom of East Karawen, the ancestors of the royal families of all kingdoms were once the rulers of the Watch Palace, which may also include the creators of the Watch Palace. It is precisely because of the merits of their ancestors that the Cleanup Bureau is willing to sign an agreement with the Twelve Kingdoms and even take the initiative to make concessions in certain aspects.
The royal families of various kingdoms mostly inherited some abnormalities from the bloodlines of their ancestors, and there was a lot of intermarriage among them, resulting in some outstanding direct descendants, even if they did not have abnormalities, more or less mastered some relatively special abilities.
Leon, listen to me, if I am not mistaken, the special ability of this Princess Veronica is probably reflected in her intuition, so since the princess thinks that there is something wrong with Prince Joshua, then he is probably problematic, and it is worth your time to investigate it carefully!"
