I! Cleaner!

There are different opinions in the royal capital as to why Marquis Jinjuan suddenly died. Because the forces involved behind it were extremely complex and there were so many suspicious things, almost no one could be sure of the truth.

But after learning about Leonard's death, Emma immediately locked onto the identity of the murderer...or benefactor without any doubt or hesitation.

"Leon!"

After knocking on the door of the office, looking at Leon who looked as usual, with nothing strange on his face, Emma, ​​whose eyes were filled with tears, couldn't help but bite her lips and greeted softly:

"I...good morning..."

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

"Senior Emma, ​​good morning!"

Looking at Leon's peaceful face, Emma, ​​whose heart was agitated, couldn't help but take a deep breath, then clenched her palms hard, and asked with a slightly trembling voice:

"Have you... heard about the Jinjuan family?"

"Um."

Looking at Senior Emma who "knowingly asked" in front of him, he understood that she should have guessed the truth. Leon smiled and did not continue to cover up, and said directly:

"Congratulations, from now on, the clouds have completely cleared up."

"Thank you...really thank you!"

After confirming that her guess was correct through Leon's gentle eyes, Emma felt that the world in front of her suddenly became blurry, and big hot things kept sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

She suddenly took a step forward and gave Leon a firm hug. Emma, ​​who was crying, buried her face on Leon's shoulder and cried heartily until Leon's legs were a little numb from standing, and then she finally stopped. down.

However, after crying happily, Emma raised her head again and wiped her tears. Instead of crying, she bit her lip slightly and said seriously:

"Leon, you can't do this."

"ah?"

The surprised Leon felt his palms soften slightly before he could ask, and Senior Emma's voice was also transmitted through the contact of his palms.

‘The death of a person with a spiritual spirit 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 something of the level of [time and space regression], after locking in all the suspects, they will use the distributed abnormal objects to conduct targeted investigations on the suspects. All of a person’s “speeches” and “actions” over the past few days.

For example, in the conversation we just had, if you admit that you did it as soon as you see me, then [Candid Speech] or [Candid Speech] will be triggered, and you will be directly marked by the abnormal objects they carry.

And even if you are very cautious and have not confessed to anyone what you have done, if you have done an obvious [killing] or [force], you will be directly marked by the abnormal object...'

After briefly explaining the investigation process of the Cleanup Bureau, Emma reminded with worried eyes:

‘Leon, think about it carefully. From that time to now, have you ever directly killed or injured that person’s body, used words to force him to throw himself into the lake, or have you ever confessed the truth to others? ’

'No. ’

After holding Senior Emma's hand behind his back, Leon, who had specifically learned about this information before taking action, answered confidently:

‘Everything happened in a dream. I just said something vaguely from a distance of more than ten meters. I didn’t do anything else, and I didn’t admit 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 also happened between souls and would not be detected by anyone.

So don't worry, Emma-senpai, if I'm not sure of escaping the blame, I won't take action easily. ’

'It's good that you are sure...but you still have to be more careful! ’

Seeing that Leon had indeed made preparations for the response and was not acting impulsively in a fit of enthusiasm, Emma was immediately relieved, and then she softly asked with guilt in her eyes:

'In addition, if... I mean if, if the investigators accidentally find out something after they come, and they are suspicious of you, you must confess that it was me who instigated it, and you are absolutely not allowed to resist!

In Olivia's absence, I will be temporarily in charge of all affairs of the Maiden Branch. Out of personal grudges, I assigned you the corresponding tasks, but you, out of trust in your seniors and no doubts, directly carried out the tasks as required. , this can absolve you of your guilt to the greatest extent. ’

'Senior Emma, ​​I...'

‘Don’t refuse this! ’

After squeezing Leon's palm hard, Emma blinked her still red eyes and said seriously:

‘I’m sorry for asking you to do this for me. If something happens and you’re still prepared to take it upon yourself, then I’ll surrender! At that time, you and I, as conspirators who violated the regulations, will both be punished internally!

And if you say it was me who instigated it, then at least one of us will survive! Leon, I will issue you a new warrant to assign the task 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 particularly reassuring warmth in her palms, she felt her heart had never been so relaxed. She couldn't help but whispered with some annoyance:

‘Leon, I suddenly remembered that the reason why Ellie made that wish on her birthday and asked me to accompany her for a whole day was because of you? ’

‘Yes. ’

Lyon couldn’t help scratching the back of his head when he heard it, then nodded and admitted frankly:

‘I was worried that you would go to Leonard for revenge at night after Ellie fell asleep, so I thought of a way to let Ellie entangle you for a day. ’

Then you went to Cuiyu Manor at night and did everything, right?

‘You even used a child...’

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…’

Looking at the gentle and steady senior Emma, ​​who rarely showed a bit of coquettishness, Leon couldn’t help but touch his nose, and then smiled and replied:

‘Give her a body like a normal child, which will not become transparent in the sun, and 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 palm tightly, explained his discovery in detail, and then explained with a little apology:

‘After finding Ellie’s…location, I wanted to bring her back directly, but because I was working overtime at the bureau that day, I shouldn’t appear in Cuiyu Manor, let alone take away the things that were originally in the lake.

And once Marquis Jinjuan died, little Ellie would regain her body, and it might also make those investigators suspect you, so I didn’t directly…’

‘Enough! Leon! Enough! ’

Suddenly letting go of Leon’s hand and hugging him again, Emma, ​​unable to control herself, said with tears in her eyes:

‘You have done enough for me and Ellie! I…I really don’t know how to repay you! I…otherwise…’

“Bang!”

Just when Emma, ​​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 looked tired, pushed the door open and said with an extremely excited look:

“Aquarius…uh…you guys?”
