When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 344 Identification of the Murderer
"Therefore, in order to find out who the murderer is, I ask the Vientiane Exchange Train to vouch for me and let me question the passengers."

Inside the room of Wang Yiming and his grandson, Ivan made his request to the mechanical train operator.

Since it is a machine, it should have its own terminal. Through this train conductor, one can directly contact the person in charge on the Vientiane trading train.

As he spoke, Ivan also looked at the passengers outside who had come over after hearing the noise.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

The passengers stared indifferently at the interior, seemingly not seeing any need for an investigation.

Someone capable of killing on a train is certainly someone to be wary of, but it's unnecessary to expose one's true identity and have one's background investigated for it.

Furthermore, the person who was killed was at most a five-star. The reason he was killed could be due to the killer being unusual, or it could also be because he was too weak.

At this moment, on this train, perhaps the only one weaker than the deceased Wang Changge is a certain Miss Luoshui.

The other passengers were also confident in their abilities to save their own lives.

"I understand what you all think."

Seeing this, Ivan was not surprised, because he knew everyone's concerns.

"But with me here, your identities cannot be kept secret."

Ivan looked at a middle-aged white man. "Although you disguised your identity and appearance, I still recognized you. Lucius Goldbald, a famous merchant from the Mercury region of the Empire, and also a well-known broker."

"And this one, Gino Brand of the Blantania Province Society 'The Winged'."

This is a man who looks to be in his thirties, with a robust build, and wearing a suit.

"In addition, there is the nun I saw in the train bar before, who should be the wanted criminal of District 11 - 'Demon Nun' White Bhikkhu."

A soft laugh and a cold snort came from outside the room.

Wearing a lay Buddhist hat and a nun's robe, yet exuding an alluring and beautiful figure, the nun swayed gracefully as she walked with a bewitching charm. Judging from the clattering sound of her footsteps, this nun was clearly wearing high heels.

"You have a really good eye, buddy."

A tall nun walked into the room, put one hand on her hip, and looked at the scene inside with amusement.

At the same time, a middle-aged man dressed in samurai attire, with a gloomy expression, also appeared at the door of the room.

“It seems that Mr. Niwa Kyozo of the Hokushin Ittō-ryū school in the 11th district does not agree with what I said,” Ivan chuckled.

That cold snort came from this Japanese samurai.

As for the reason, it's naturally the nickname "Area 11".

Like the Holy Roman Empire, the Western Union divides its territory into multiple regions, but unlike the Holy Roman Empire, it uses simpler and colder numbers for naming.

From District 1, where the capital is located, all the way to District 10.

Then there are areas that are not directly named, but are jokingly referred to by some Western Union members or people from other countries. After the world came together, these areas did not belong to the Western Union, but were garrisoned and managed by Western Union troops.

For example, Japan, also known as "Area 11".

For some Japanese, the name "Area 11" represents a future they desperately want, while for others it represents a present they vehemently resist.

Once this place name is officially established, Yingguo will become part of the Western Alliance.

Although it doesn't seem that different now...
“Japan is absolutely not a part of the Western Alliance,” Niwa Kyozo said coldly.

“If Mr. Niwa thinks I am wrong, you are welcome to debate with me,” Ivan said calmly. “I also hope that the next opportunity to talk with Mr. Niwa will come soon.”

Upon hearing this, Niwa Kyozo's expression remained grim, but his physique subtly changed. He was no longer as burly as before, and he reached out and removed a disguise mask from his face, revealing a face that appeared to be around thirty years old. The Hokushin Itto-ryu swordsmanship was quite distinctive, so Niwa Kyozo did not conceal his identity as a Japanese samurai, but instead came directly dressed in samurai attire.

However, he concealed his true identity, trying to make others believe that he was not disguised, thereby achieving the purpose of confusing his identity.

Now that his identity has been exposed, Niwa Kyozo simply stopped pretending.

Since he's already been exposed, then let everyone else be exposed too; that's only fair.

"By the way, I met Sergei Kirinovich Stuchenko of the Ursus Federation yesterday. He's probably too afraid to show his face now because of Her Highness Ekaterina's arrival."

Ivan continued opening boxes in an attempt to gain Ekaterina's support.

Catherine arrived with the nun and happened to hear this sentence.

She remained expressionless, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Evan's words. Her calm gaze swept over everyone in the room before suddenly turning to Wang Yiming.

"I heard that the Dongxia Martial Arts Association is currently searching for two suspects."

Ekaterina said, "Wang Yiming and Wang Changge of the sixth branch of the Wang family in Yanjing, from the Eastern Xia Federation, should be the two of you, right? And the reason why the Eastern Xia Martial Arts Association is searching for you is that you are suspected of colluding with Kosh'e and cultivating incarnations for Kosh'e."

The old man, who had been silently watching Wang Changge's corpse, trembled upon hearing this, then suddenly looked up and said, "Absolutely not."

He straightened up and removed his disguise, revealing a face completely different from his original aged appearance, now in the prime of his life.

“I am Wang Yiming, and the one who died was my own grandson, Wang Changge. I will not hide this fact.”

Wang Yiming said firmly, "But I have absolutely nothing to do with Koschae."

“Whether it’s related or not, we’ll know by examining your grandson’s body,” Ekaterina said, her gaze falling on Wang Changge’s corpse. “The aura of your grandson’s body is a bit too pure. It just so happens that Koshcher is skilled in biology, and cloning a body is a piece of cake for him. Could it be that your real grandson has already been used and consumed by Koshcher as a vessel?”

If there is any country that knows Kosh'e best, it would definitely be the Ursus Federation, after all, Kosh'e has been in Ursus for decades.

Ekaterina's own strength far exceeded her own level, and her perception was extremely sharp, so it was indeed possible for her to notice the clues about Wang Changge.

Upon hearing this, everyone around them turned their gazes.

If Wang Changge is a clone, then the weakest one wouldn't be Miss Luo, but him.

and······
Those present were no saints, and naturally, their first thought was that Wang Yiming would try to make his grandson's death seem natural.

If that's the case, then the one who killed Wang Changge might not be anyone else; the murderer might be Wang Yiming!

By administering certain slow-acting poisons to Wang Changge beforehand, or by planting some hidden traps, Wang Changge's death could be controlled.

This kind of death was so sudden that even the train couldn't stop it, and no one noticed when Wang Changge died.

Wang Yiming, on the other hand, began to sweat profusely.

Upon hearing Ivan's surname, he immediately thought of the Phoebus family of Shinra and guessed that Ivan probably already knew his true identity.

So Wang Yiming simply went along with it, called out his grandson's name, and voluntarily revealed himself.

He had to act out his grief over his grandson's death and identify the clone as his grandson to prevent others from discovering that the deceased Wang Changge was a clone.

At the same time, he was secretly relieved that he didn't have to do it himself, and Wang Changge died knowing the truth.

That would make it perfect.

But he never expected that in the end, suspicion would fall on him as the murderer.
