Locke looked at Rhaenys in surprise. Even when Her Majesty the Queen was around, she still looked like I would die for you through fire and water. As soon as Her Majesty the Queen left, she became lazy.

"Director, isn't this good? If you can't find out within three days, you will be dismissed from your post."

Robson said worriedly.

"Am I the only one who has been dismissed?"

Rhaenys raised her eyebrows and looked at Robson,

'And a bunch of old guys, they'll try their best. ’

Chapter 166, Witch Hunting

Donovan, the conservative minister's representative, and Reed, the radical's representative minister, both felt as if they had eaten shit at the moment. Of course, the most depressing person was not them, but Hognu, the director of the fifth public security court who was unjustly implicated.

Hognu's mood was worse than eating dog feces. It must be compared, it was like being forced to kill a dog and then eating dog feces, a double blow.

"Check it for me. Everyone has to check it. They have to dig three feet deep and find it out for me. If you can't find it out, no one can go home. Check it for me for three days and three nights in a row!"

Hognu has decided not to be a human being in order to keep his position on the butt.

"Yes, sir."

The peace officers of the Fifth Sheriff Court dared not speak out in anger.

Why are the people from the Sixth Sheriff Court leaving as soon as they say, but we have to be implicated and have to stay and work overtime?

They looked at Locke and others with both hatred and envy.

‘It’s obviously Director Rhaenys’s next mission, so why is it our Fifth Magistrate’s Court who is taking part? ’

‘I really envy them, damn senior investigators. ’

'It would be great if we also followed Director Rhaenys, why Director Hognu? ’

‘Director, is there any overtime pay? ’

Hognu roared angrily,

"What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and check it out? Turn over the entire West District Plaza, oh no, turn over the entire West District Plaza, and find the clues!"

"Yes, sir."

The sheriffs responded in unison, and their troops were divided into several groups, like the rhizomes of tree roots scattered underground, extending to every corner of the West District. Among them, the largest number of people were scattered in the square. They were eager to get into the cracks in the ground and find out some information.

Conservative Minister Donovan and Radical Representative Minister Reed also sent their own men to actively participate. Like Hognu, they valued their positions very much and did not want to be removed from office.

Even the Queen's personal guards sent some forces to participate in the investigation.

The people in the church are responsible for purifying everyone and eliminating some of the terrible memories.

Among all the forces, only the Sixth Security Court showed extraordinary calmness and withdrew from the West District Square early.

"Let's go back and have a good rest."

Siegel patted Robson on the shoulder.

"But I still want to stay and help."

said the naive Robson.

"If you don't eat well and get some sleep, how can you have the energy to investigate the case?"

Sigurd put his arm around Robson's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "You must be frightened. I'll take you to a tavern to calm down."

Di Mo pricked up his ears, "Tavern? How can you miss me?"

"I'm not going, I'm going back to rest."

Angela refuses to act with Dimo.

Boyd, who had been fishing, touched his chin, "It's time for me to go back and drink tea. I haven't had tea for a day and I feel uncomfortable all over. Locke, do you want to come with us? We're on our way."

"You guys should go back first. I lost something during the battle just now and I need to look for it."

Locke said.

"Okay, bye then."

Colleagues from the Abnormality Bureau said goodbye to Locke one by one and got into their carriages.

"Director Rhaenys, are you leaving now?"

Minister Donovan and Rhett once again understood each other and made the same move. They frowned and caught up with Rhaenys who was about to board the carriage.

"Yes, my investigators and I need to go back and hold a profound review meeting. After something like this happened, our Sixth Public Security Court, as one of the main forces in this defense, must make a profound review."

‘Haha, you also know that you need to do a self-examination? ’

‘Wait, is it time for self-examination? Don't be lazy in a high-sounding way! ! ! You are going to the Magistrate Court for a review meeting. Why do you have to take separate carriages in different directions! ’

The two ministers roared inwardly.

"I think the review meeting can be postponed. You should stay and search for clues first. As professionals, the investigators should pay more attention to the Queen's assassination."

Rhett said seriously.

Donovan agreed, "Yes, I think so too. There is no need to hold a review meeting now."

"Why is the review meeting unnecessary? If they are not made aware of the seriousness of the Queen's assassination, how can they investigate the case with all their heart? Don't waste our precious time anymore."

Rhaenys got into the carriage and told the carriage driver to leave quickly. She didn't want to waste time arguing with the ministers.

Looking at the director of the Sixth Public Security Court who insisted on going his own way, the two ministers cursed in their hearts at the same time, feeling that their positions under their buttocks were in danger.

"We have to rely on ourselves."

Minister Rhett sighed.

"Who are you? Our conservative party will investigate this case. You radicals are just waiting to be dismissed."

Donovan raised his head and snorted coldly.

The two of them once again returned to the state where no one looked down on the other.

When they saw Locke, the last remaining member of the Sixth Sheriff Court, their eyes showed admiration unconsciously.

Only this young man is completely different from the sneaky guys in the Sixth Public Security Court.

They knew that Locke, who was involved in the route planning, could not be blamed for this incident at all, because there were no problems along the way, and the final destination was set at West End Plaza, which was published in the newspapers.

Those daring assassins may have chosen to ambush in the square after reading the reports, or they may have blended in among the workers.

And as soon as the incident happened, Rhaenys pushed out Locke Belmont to be the scapegoat, which further highlighted that Locke Belmont was not the same kind as the lazy investigators brought out by Rhaenys.

It's a pity that if this matter is not investigated, he will be exempted from liability.

Otherwise, Minister Reid really wants to extend an olive branch to Locke Belmont and ask him to join his army.

Donovan had the same idea. He walked up to Locke Belmont and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Locke Belmont, if you find out anything, tell me as soon as possible."

"OK."

Although Locke stayed to look for things and was not investigating the case, he still nodded politely.

Locke did not drop any valuables during the battle, but he noticed that the three knight witches did not follow Her Majesty the Queen back to the palace, which meant that they were still looking for the witch's heart.

If you can find the witch's heart and bring it back to Irene, will you be able to increase your own witch's strength?

In order to give himself a little more sense of security, Locke began to carefully search for cracks in the ground.

After searching around the West End Square, he did not find any shiny crystals. Locke could only leave the square and continue searching. Fortunately, he was extremely familiar with the West End, and all the small alleys and hidden corners could not escape his eyes.

"Hey, I was just too lucky. I must have been found by the three female knights, right?"

Locke sighed, "Look for another two hours. If you can't find it, go home."

Two hours passed quickly, night fell, and the bright moon rose into the sky.

Just under the moonlight, Locke found a purple light emitting from behind him.

When he turned around, he saw the palm-sized witch's heart.

This guy has been following me? !

Locke had not noticed it at all before.

Is this also the function of [Witch Temptation]?

Thinking of this, Locke reached out his hand happily, and sure enough, the witch's heart moved obediently into his palm.

"Since you were taken away by me voluntarily, I won't be polite."

Locke stuffed the witch's heart into his coat pocket, didn't even sit in the carriage, and used the art of long hair to quickly leave the West District and head for the residence in the East District like a big spider in the dark night.

Under the cover of night, no one discovered Locke, the trapeze artist.

Locke returned home safely and couldn't wait to find Eileen.

"Xiao Ai, look what I brought back for you."

Erin rubbed her eyes. After sleeping all day, she still felt a little sluggish until she saw Locke and the witch's heart in Locke's hand.

In her eyes, Locke seemed to have an extra layer of filters, shining brightly.

When Locke handed her the Witch's Heart, she felt even more moved than she had in a long time.

Erin's eyes were slightly red, holding a witch's heart as big as her palm,

"I didn't expect that you were so weak that you hunted a witch for me."

Hey hey hey, please don’t add the word “I’m so weak”.

At least there is an infinite snake living in my body, and I might grow into an enemy of the gods.

Locke complained in his heart, but it was the first time he saw Irene's eyes red.

Her perfect facial features, coupled with this weeping expression, are simply irresistible.

Locke swallowed, "Eat it quickly and see what new abilities you can get."

Erin nodded and ate the witch's heart.

She closed her eyes and felt it.

"It's the forest witch, in charge of plant-based abilities."

She spread her left hand, and a purple wind chime grew out of it.

She opened her right hand again, and a thick vine grew out of it, extending directly to Locke, tying him up and dragging him to Irene.

There is only 1cm distance between the two people.

Looking at Erin from this distance, every hair on her face can be seen clearly, and her skin is really good.

"Xiao Ai, I saw Queen Katerina today. She looks very similar to you. Are you related?"

Locke suddenly asked.

"Our relationship is more than just relatives."

Erin retracted the vine in her hand, let go of Locke, walked to the window sill, looked at the moon outside the window, and let out a breath of turbid air.

"Do you want to know?"

"I think."

Locke quickly followed and stood behind Irene.

Of course, a witch raised by oneself must know the basics.

"With your current power, it's better not to know too much."

"Is there any secret more unacceptable than that I am an experimental subject?"

Locke asked rhetorically.

Irene turned back, glanced at Locke, nodded slightly, and felt that Locke was right.

Locke's situation couldn't be worse.

"You can think of me as the Queen's clone. We both once belonged to the Black Rose Organization of the Alchemy Sect. The Black Rose Organization is a place that specializes in the study of artificial witches. The reason why Katerina used her own cells to cultivate us is to achieve her goal of evolving from ordinary humans to witches, so I am also an experimental subject."

Locke was shocked by Irene's words.
