Chapter 3146 Major Case Storm

With the investigation of the sewer pipes, the clues provided by Mr. Feringa and the hints given by Miss Brown,

Finally, with the joint efforts of Shade and Ridvich, relying on the "little" convenience given by Galina, who is far away in Saladir County, is to mobilize the Tobeske garrison at a critical moment. Finally, he led his men to stop the train that was about to leave Tobeske before the prisoners escaped, and then followed the clues to find a human trafficking organization that had been operating in the royal capital Tobeske for decades.

According to witnesses at the scene at the time, Detective Shade Hamilton smashed the glass of the train car with one shot, then jumped into the car and leaned on a cane and a pistol, defeating five gun-holding murderers alone.

This human trafficking organization has nothing to do with the woman Xia De wanted to catch when he ran half a street and was shot in his chest in the summer of 1853. The prisoner who was caught this time specialized in trafficking humans from the old continent to the new continent as slave workers. Business.

After discovering this huge underground organization, Xia De suddenly realized why he would always encounter people who shot at him and then killed him when he investigated this matter.

The victims of such a huge trafficking organization are almost involved in most of Delarion, and its ability to hide in Tobesque for so long is certainly related to some unspeakable big names.

It is precisely because of this incident that Xia De, who has nothing to do this winter, has been investigated more and more times over the past ten years. After the lid finally couldn't be covered, even Jialina had to go through in advance. Saradir County rushed back to Tobesk.

His Majesty, who is deeply trapped in the "death of an illegitimate daughter" in the Kingdom of Carsonrick, took time to listen to the report on the matter in Reidvich. Then, Larus III, who was wise but was just blinded in the past. , and authorized the Duchess of Saradir to fully investigate the major case.

As of the end of November, the arrest and interrogation work continued. At that time, a real-powered duke was already involved, and a marquis with a fiefdom was ordered by King Larus III to "rehabilitate".

In order to hedge against this scandal, the newspaper suppressed public criticism of the police and the city hall's dereliction of duty through repeated reports on "Detective Hamilton". In fact, since Jialina took over the case, Xia De has not continued to participate. After all, the commission he received at that time was just "investigating the strange sounds underground in the house."

On the last Saturday of the Frost Descent Moon, Dr. Schneider took the newspaper and teased Xia De about making trouble again. The foreigner suddenly looked up and realized:

"Doctor, you introduced this client to me. Can I think this way: If it weren't for me, you would actually investigate this matter by yourself because you were curious about the patient's experience and then trigger the entire case... .I've helped you share the bad luck! "

Bill Schneider, who had just taken a sip of tea, coughed suddenly, and Augustus who had wiped his pipe,

Dorothy, who was checking for misspelled in the upcoming report, laughed and Luvia, who had just sat down.

Although the limelight of this case almost overshadowed the debate and insults in newspapers between the two countries about the "death of the illegitimate daughter of the Anjou royal family", in fact, for Xia De's investigation of this matter can only be regarded as his in the fall of frost. The small things done before the end of the month did not take up too much time.

And in those boring days where he didn't want to read books or investigate, he did not forget to worry about the gifts he would give at the end of the year and date the girls.

Vanessa and Cialis plan to return home with the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe in early next month, which is a little earlier than the original plan, but with the current relationship between the two countries, they are indeed not It's suitable to stay in Tobesk again.

So during the period before the opera troupe left, Shade would run to meet Vanessa and Cialis almost every two days.

Of course, he did not neglect others. After a brief busy life after returning home, Luvia returned to her normal working rhythm. Although she no longer lives in St. Terran Square, Xia De, who is looking forward to the card identification results, often goes to the association to find her to take over. .

Dorothy and Lexiya are waiting to see the arrival of the next Red Butterfly Day, after all, it has been a long time since the last Red Butterfly Day date. The next time is not long after, it happened to be on the last day of the Frost Descent Moon, and it happened to be another Sunday. The girls swear that they would never let Xia De go this time.

After Jialina returned, she was busy dealing with the underground human trafficking network discovered by Xia De. Xia De could only see her once or twice a week. This was really troublesome, so although the witches had found help to Xia De. She has not contacted Xia De to deal with this matter for a long time.

The situation between Carsonrick and De La Reion has also become worse and worse in just a few weeks, and the occasional small-scale conflicts on the border reported in newspapers are just the tip of the iceberg that is revealed in the huge situation.

Even idle people in the taverns believe that war is likely to break out the next week, with army soldiers on the border, and naval ship confrontation has become a common occurrence since the summer. What people are waiting for now is who fires the first shot first.

Carsonrick has the reasons for "death of a royal princess" in his hands. Margaret thought his sister was not recognized, but last week, "Lion" announced that he had recognized Ashley Bettany's identity as a princess. , she can also be buried in the royal tomb.

Lessia's father is hinting that her aunt has linked the recently cracked human trafficking case with the South. Jialina has not expressed this yet, but in Xia De's view, even if this case involving such a wide range of people is not dominated by the Southern people, the other party must have participated.

However, the upcoming war on the Old Continent has no relationship with Shade, who lives in St. Terran Square, at least it has nothing to do with it since before.

On Friday morning before the official end of the Frost Descent Moon, on the 28th of this month, during breakfast, Shade was thinking about running with Grace and Helen yesterday to check the seal status in the "Edge of Life and Death" and then visiting again The matter of Sister Deflynn.

Emilia was now sniffing the scent of breakfast and walked up from the basement, but she did not come for the breakfast cooked by the maids who had just left a few minutes ago:

"Xiade, where did you receive the textbook I left with you last weekend?"

The elf who was falling into the middle and falling asked in a hurry, and Xia De pointed at the study:

"On the second floor of the bookshelf. Do you want to eat something before leaving?"

"No, I'm rushing to go to morning class. If I'm late, I'll be deducted for normal points. It will be even more difficult to pass this course in the final term. Oh, this is what Miss Denist just asked me to bring to you. letter."

After she took the book, she hurriedly handed the letter to Xia De in the restaurant. Although she didn't eat, she picked a piece of bread on the table, then hurriedly went downstairs and left with the bread in her mouth. This action was very girlish feel.

The cat looked up at Emilia's back, then "meow~" at Xia De. Xia De understood it as the cat thought that someone took their food at will and Xia De did not stop it. It was a A very cowardly behavior.

"Don't be so stingy, we can't finish so much anyway."

As Xia De said, he put the list of elves sent by Tifa just now on the Steam Bird Daily, suppressing the face of the Kingdom Military Minister on the front page:

"What Miss Denister asked me to do? It shouldn't be a big deal. Although the property of Bennet's family has been almost counted, the church shouldn't tell me to withdraw money through the college."

That money must be "washed" by Xia De through the Witch Council before using it.

I opened the letter from the library administrator and found that there were only two middle lines written on the folded letter paper. [Xia De, the moon of frost is about to pass, I think it is time to test your learning progress again. If you have time, don't reply me. See you at the library at 7 o'clock tonight. If you don’t have time, come to see me immediately and explain the reasons in person. 】

Xia De realized that this duel was a so-called "once a month" duel, not an extra number. Speaking of this period, because of course papers, learning basic knowledge of high-ring warlocks and choosing courses next year, he would meet the red-haired warlock every three or four days, but the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not act excessively in the library.

Xia De thought she was going to ignore this matter.

[Is there a possibility that she is waiting for you to speak out? 】

"This...well, very likely."

So that night he had dinner early, went to take a shower after dinner, and then left a letter to the girls who might visit St. Terrain Square tonight to explain the situation, and then set off from the basement to head to the college.

After appearing in the bookshelf in the library ground area, he unexpectedly discovered that today's library seemed a little deserted, and then realized that it was Friday night. This not only means that most students have a week's course end, but also means that students can leave the college castle and enter the college city for a short rest.

"It's the same no matter where the students are."

After passing through the bookshelf, he came to the bottom of the astrology in the center of the library. Xia De unexpectedly discovered that the red-haired sorcerer was not here:

"Hmm? The time is right."

There were various books and documents piled up on the coffee table as usual, and Xia De did not find the message for him. Just as I was thinking of waiting here for a while, I patted him from behind with one hand. Before that, he didn't feel anyone behind him at all.

Turning around and looking, the red-haired girl wearing the uniform of a ninth-grade student in the college, staring at him suspiciously with her red eyes:

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the academy? It's rude to break into the administrator's office like this, right?"
