Age of Mysticism

While Ible was fighting with Virgil over the missing gold in the parliament, Luke, Shelley, and Pisco were sitting around a table eating the steak on the dinner plate.

Pisco's eating is very bold, a large steak is cut from the middle, and half of it is inserted into the mouth.

Then he poured a whole glass of red wine into his mouth and chewed, the juice and wine trickled out from the corner of his mouth. He also praised while eating: "Inspector, this steak is really delicious! It also goes well with wine!"

Luke and Shelley's eating is a little more restrained, but there is still a little distance from the real dining etiquette.

Cut off a piece of beef and put it in your mouth.

Smooth and soft, juicy, it is really hard to express in words. Take another sip of red wine, the taste buds are all-round comfort.

Luke couldn't help but admire: "The food made by the personal chef of the senator's house is awesome. The food provided in the cafeteria in our bureau is far worse than this...the taste is too far away.

What do you think? "

Shelley replied, "Inspector, we never eat in the bureau mess."

Luke felt an arrow in his heart, and his three meals a day were basically settled in the cafeteria of the bureau. I didn't feel much when I ate it, but after listening to Shelley's words, why did I feel so uncomfortable?

Who would have thought that Pisco would continue to say: "Yes! The food in the canteen of the bureau is like feeding pigs!"

Luke asked Pisco with a bad face: "Pisco, when you entered my office, did you step in with your left foot first? Or with your right foot?"

Pisco thought for a moment. "Inspector, I don't remember. Does... make a difference?"

"Before you enter my office, you should check the date of the day. If you walk with your left foot on one day and your right foot on two days, you are wrong...you should consider changing to a pair of mechanical legs."

"Ah!" Pisco didn't know how he had offended the inspector, so he quietly asked Shelley, "Big sister, big sister..."

"Shut up! Eat your food, talk more, and be careful to change your head too."

Pisco immediately put his head down.

Speaking of mechanical limbs, Luke remembered something, and asked Shelley: "Did you go into Diagonal Street when you hunted for the elf Clear Sky?"

Hearing the Inspector ask about Diagonal Street, Shelley frowned and replied: "Inspector, Diagonal Street is a mighty territory. In the past, people from the Public Security Department did not dare to mess with these machine races, and the people on the pier didn't know what they were doing." Sometimes we need to find the machine clan for help, so we didn't enter Diagonal Street.

Inspector, do you think the elf Qingkong is hiding in Diagonal Street? "

Luke said: "If Fairy Clear Sky is really hiding in Cape District, we shouldn't be able to find any clues after searching for so long. The Public Security Bureau has almost turned the whole city upside down.

Only this Diagonal Street..."

Shelley said in a low voice, "I informed Wetman, and he said that they would search the Fairy Clear Sky by themselves. Inspector, Diagonal Street is different from other places, so it needs to be treated with caution."

"I know, I'm just asking casually. I've finished my portion and want another one, you guys?"

Pisco had already finished his portion, and hurriedly said, "I want one too, a big one."

...

When Luke and the three of them ate three steaks, Senator Ible finally returned.

He had already heard the news of Inspector Meteor's visit from his servants, and he was in a very good mood after a soul-stirring debate.

"Inspector, if you were in the parliament at that time, you would have seen Vergil in a panic. The collapse of the Wraith Tower has already disgraced him, and today's city-wide demonstrations have reduced his reputation to a minimum.

I think other MPs are questioning his ability, this insidious villain will get what he deserves. "

Senator Ible warmly gave Luke a big hug.

Detective Thomas, who guarded his return, salutes Luke.

Luke said: "You all go out, Congressman Ible and I need to talk about something alone, don't let anyone disturb us."

Ible also said to the servants serving here: "You all go out too, don't let anyone in."

After everyone left, Ible invited Luke to sit down and said with a smile: "This demonstration was too successful, and the scale exceeded my expectations. Both the Parliament and the Government Affairs Office have seen my influence, and tomorrow I will start pushing the cape." Harbor Repair Agenda.

I guarantee it will be passed by Parliament soon. "

"Congratulations, Mr. Senator." Luke then asked meaningfully, "About the Clover airship, did you hide something very important from me?"

Like a needle, the clover pierced Senator Ible and immediately changed his complexion.

"I don't understand what you mean... isn't the wreckage of the Clover airship in your place?"

Luke lit a cigarette for himself, leaned on the back of the chair, and said slowly: "When your Excellency was surrounded by reporters for interviews, I received an important piece of information about the Clover airship. A source said... Clover No. On the day of the accident, there were not only imperial tax money on it, but also more gold from unknown sources.

It was just because of the appearance of me and the Imperial Navy, that batch of gold was thrown into the sea by you, and it turned out...it couldn't be found..."

Luke shook his head amusedly.

Councilor Ible lost all the complacency just now, his face was pale, and his mind was thinking about countermeasures quickly.

There are imperial spies outside, and it is definitely impossible to fight.

"Detective... This is a frame-up, this is definitely a frame-up! As I said, if someone wants to kill me, someone must have fabricated a rumor to kill me.

You have to trust me! "

"Your Excellency, don't be so flustered. Anyway, I haven't seen that batch of gold, so I can say it has it, or it can say it doesn't. Now I absolutely believe in your innocence, you are so rich... look at this big House, are you the one who covets that bit of gold?"

"Yeah, how could I be greedy for those yellow..." Senator Ible suddenly found himself talking, and he quickly looked at Inspector Meteor.

That smile is very frightening.

There was a dead silence in the room.

Senator Ible sat there like a schoolboy caught making mistakes, fidgeting and sweating.

Luke finished his cigarette slowly, and then said to Mr. Ible: "Do you want to know who told me this information?"

"who is it?"

"It's Viscount Iskran."

"He, how does he know?"

"Don't underestimate the Brotherhood of Blades, besides, when the ancestors of the Iscoran family planted potatoes on this land, there was no Raging City. He also told me a lot about the small conflicts between your councilors, and thought that you really Got into a deadly trouble.

He asked me to convey to you that he can help you. It is up to you to decide whether to accept it or not, and I am only responsible for passing on his words to others. "

Senator Ible was shocked by the information Luke revealed.

Luke said again: "Well... Viscount Iscoran also said that you have a very good economic mind, but lack of political mind, and I think so too."
