Chapter 354 Two Hugs
There are many different opinions in the royal capital as to why Marquis Jinjuan died suddenly. Since the forces behind him were extremely complex and there were too many suspicious points, almost no one could be sure of the truth.

But when she learned of Leonard's death, without any doubt or hesitation, Emma immediately identified the murderer...or the benefactor.

"Leon!"

After knocking on the office door, Emma bit her lip with tears in her eyes as she looked at Leon, who looked the same as usual, without any abnormality on his face. She greeted him softly:

"I...good morning..."

After hearing this very ordinary but extremely special opening remark at this moment, Leon was slightly stunned at first, and then gave her a very bright smile in return.

"Good morning, Emma-senior!"

Looking at Leon's peaceful face, Emma, ​​who was excited, couldn't help but take a deep breath, then clenched her palms tightly, and asked with a slightly trembling voice:
"Have you...heard about the Jinjuan family?"

"Ah."

Looking at Senior Emma who was "asking knowingly", Leon realized that she should have guessed the truth. He smiled and did not continue to cover it up. He spoke directly:

"Congratulations. From now on, the fog has completely cleared up."

"Thank you...thank you so much!"

After confirming her guess through Leon's gentle eyes, Emma felt that the world in front of her eyes became blurred in an instant, and large pieces of hot stuff kept sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

She took a step forward and gave Leon a tight hug. Emma buried her face in Leon's shoulder and cried bitterly until Leon's legs became numb. She finally stopped.

But after crying her heart out, Emma raised her head again and wiped her tears. She did not burst into laughter, but bit her lip slightly and said seriously:
"Leon, you can't do this."

"what?"

Surprised, Leon felt his palm soften slightly before he could ask, and the voice of Senior Emma was transmitted through the contact of his palms.

'The death of a person with a Word Spirit in his body is a very serious situation. Even if the headquarters has been sealed off, investigators from the General Administration will arrive within a week.

Although Leonard's status does not allow them to bring things of the level of [Time and Space Reversal], after locking down all the suspects, they will use the distributed abnormal objects to conduct targeted investigations on all the "speech" and "behavior" of the suspects in the past few days.

For example, in our previous conversation, if you admitted that you did it when you saw me, then [Frank Speech] or [No Concealment Speech] would be triggered, and you would be directly marked by the abnormal objects they carry.

Even if you are very careful and have not confessed what you have done to anyone, if you have done something obvious like "Killing" or "Coercion", you will be directly marked by that abnormal object...'

After briefly explaining the investigation process of the Cleanup Bureau, Emma reminded with concern:
"Leon, think about it carefully. From that time till now, have you ever directly hurt that person physically, used words to force him to jump into the lake, or told the truth to others?"

'No. '

After holding Emma-senpai’s hand, Leon, who had specially learned about this information before taking action, answered confidently:
'Everything happened in a dream. I just hummed vaguely from a distance of more than ten meters. I didn't do anything else, and I never admitted it to anyone.

Only before you came, you had a brief chat with the black goat on the table, but the communication related to that day took place between souls and could not be detected by anyone.

So don't worry, Senior Emma. If I'm not sure I can get away with it, I won't do it lightly.'

"As long as you are sure...but still be careful!"

Seeing that Leon had indeed made the corresponding preparations and did not act impulsively, Emma was relieved and then said softly with guilt in her eyes:
'Also, if... I mean if, if the investigators come and really find out something unexpectedly and suspect you, you must honestly say that it was me who ordered it, and you must not resist on your own!

In the absence of Olivia, I will temporarily handle all affairs of the Virgin Branch. I gave you the corresponding task out of personal hatred, and you did not doubt it because of your trust in the senior, and directly carried out the task as required, so that you can be exempted from the guilt to the greatest extent. "Senior Emma, ​​I..."

'You can't refuse this!'

After squeezing Leon's hand tightly, Emma blinked her still red eyes and said seriously:
"I'm sorry for asking you to do this for me. If something goes wrong and you're still prepared to take the blame, I'll turn myself in! Then you and I will both be punished internally as accomplices in violating the regulations!"

If you say that I ordered it, then at least one of us can survive! Leon, I will issue you a warrant for the assignment later. You must keep it with you. Do you hear me?'

'...'

'say!'

'Um……'

Looking at Leon who nodded helplessly, a smile finally appeared on Emma's serious face again.

After feeling the reassuring warmth in her palm, she felt more relaxed than ever before. She couldn't help but whispered in a somewhat reproachful tone:
'Leon, I suddenly remembered that the reason why Ellie made that wish on her birthday, asking me to accompany her for the whole day, was it you who taught her?'

'Um. ’

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help scratching the back of his head, then nodded and admitted frankly:

"I was worried that you would seek revenge on Leonard overnight after Ellie fell asleep, so I thought of a way to keep Ellie busy with you for a whole day."

Then you went to Cuiyu Manor overnight and got everything done, right?
"They're even taking advantage of children..."

After glancing at Leon tenderly, Emma bit her lower lip and said:
"When I came from home, Ellie asked me to ask you what gift you were going to give her. I want to see what gift you are going to use to coax her this time!"

"As for the gift..."

Seeing that Emma, ​​who was always gentle and steady, showed a rare bit of coquettishness, Leon couldn't help but touch his nose, and then replied with a smile:
'Give her a body like a normal child, one that won't turn transparent in the sun, so she can go to school normally, grow up normally, and live a normal life... What do you think of this gift?'

'? ! ! ! '

In Emma's extremely surprised expression, Leon held her hand tightly and explained his discovery in detail, then explained with a slight apology:
'After finding Ellie's... location, I wanted to bring her back directly, but I was working overtime at the bureau that day and should not have appeared in Cuiyu Manor, let alone taken away the things that were originally in the lake.

And once Marquis Jinjuan died, Little Ellie would regain her body, which might make the investigators suspect you, so I didn't directly...'

'Enough! Leon! Enough!'

She suddenly let go of Leon's hand and gave him another hug. Emma couldn't help herself and said with tears in her eyes:

"You've done so much for me and Ellie! I...I really don't know how to repay you! I...or else..."

"boom!"

Just when Emma, ​​who was crying with joy, wanted to say something, the door of Leon's office was suddenly pushed open, and a voice full of joy came from outside the door.

"Haha! Little Leon! Great news!"

The red-haired director, who was covered in yellow mud and had a tired look on his face, pushed the door open and said in an extremely excited tone:
"Aquarius... uh... you guys?"
