After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

"Oh? Why is she here instead of helping with repairs in the academy? Let her in."

After obtaining the emperor's consent, La Luna was led by the waiter to the emperor's throne.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor."

La Luna bowed slightly.

"No need to be polite. I wonder what Prince La Luna wants to see me about."

"It's like this. I recently received a mission from a temple, asking me to rush to the eastern Warcraft territory to collect certain materials. But I heard recently that there seems to be war in the east again?"

"What the prince has heard is true."

La Luna looked up at the Emperor. Twenty years had passed and the young emperor with long hair now had some gray hair at the temples.

It seems that being an emperor is really a very life-shortening job.

My hair turned white in my forties.

Moreover, the current emperor has always maintained one wife. If it were the former emperors who were extremely licentious, it would be a miracle for them to live to their thirties...

"So I have come here specifically to ask His Majesty the Emperor for a pass to the east."

"No."

"what?"

"Alas, I said no."

"What?"

"Because this thing can't be mobilized just by the Union. Right now the whole country is in a state of war tension. Every time a train is dispatched to the east it will attract the public's attention. So this vehicle will never be dispatched unless it is absolutely necessary. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait until the next dispatch, or wait until this ban is over and the Union will send a special car to take you there."

"Ah... Doesn't that mean I'll have to stay in this imperial capital for an unknown amount of time?"

"I can't help it, but the prince is considerate."

"I understand, I understand... Never mind. Anyway, I can live comfortably in the imperial capital without having to deal with so many things in the academy."

"Haha, I heard about it too. His Royal Highness the Prince actually fainted from exhaustion while directing the construction site at the academy. He is truly a role model for princes, haha."

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me."

La Luna gave a wry smile on the surface, but her heart was beating fast.

How long ago did this happen? And it has already reached the Emperor's ears? This intelligence line is a bit scary.

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Ask."

"It's about the nightly curfew in the city..."

"Ah... This matter is indeed giving me a headache... If you are free here, you can help me, although I have nothing to reward you with."

"Well... I'll try my best. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor has any information about the murderer."

"Well, if the prince is willing to take over, this matter will most likely be accomplished. You take this token to find the head of the Ministry of Justice and tell him that you want to investigate this case. He will give you all the information."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

La Luna caught the sign and bowed slightly to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Then I will leave first."

"Well, walk slowly."

La Luna retreated from the palace and took the elevator that was almost like a bungee jumping machine... However, this time the descent speed was extremely slow.

It is said that this elevator has become slower over the past twenty years, just like the emperor's gradual aging. La Luna feels that this slow descent is indeed comfortable and seems much more stable than before.

After coming out of the palace, La Luna came to a gentle-looking building at the foot of the palace.

This is the Ministry of Justice in the imperial capital.

There was no one even guarding the door. As soon as La Luna walked in, she saw a group of people with depressed faces and dark circles under their eyes.

"Excuse me, your Excellency, are you...?"

"I am La Luna, the prince of the north. I have been commissioned by the emperor to take charge of the murder case in the imperial capital."

"!!!"

As soon as La Luna said this, almost everyone in the Ministry of Justice stopped what they were doing and all their eyes were focused on La Luna.

"Ok?"

"Sorry, sorry, it turns out to be Your Highness. I was rude just now."

The scholarly atmosphere in the Ministry of Justice seems to be stronger than that in the Military Department. All the words they speak are elegant and refined, which makes La Luna feel comfortable listening to them.

"Just now you said that you were here to take over the murder case in the imperial capital?"

"Yes."

"Your Highness, I am extremely sorry, but we cannot let any outsider handle this case."

"Ah? Why is this?"

There was great confusion in La Luna's eyes.

What's wrong with you? You can't solve the case, but you insist on holding it over so that others can't solve it? Does this criminal have any special business relationship with you?

The man being questioned looked around at his colleagues, then waved his hand and scolded them.

"What are you looking at? Have you finished investigating the case? How dare you sit here and watch melons if you haven't finished investigating it yet? Go and look through the files!"

La Luna heard the scolding, and then looked at the expressions of the people around her. She didn't expect that the person who was talking to her seemed to be of such a high status?

Then La Luna followed the man into a small room, which was filled with various files that La Luna had come into contact with. These recorded various cases and information about the people who had criminal records in the cases.

"Your Excellency Prince, you have seen that we have been searching everywhere for this matter but have not been able to find out who did it! This is very troubling to us, but because we have not been able to solve this case for a long time, the reputation of our Ministry of Justice is getting worse and worse. But there is really no other way. The worse it gets, the longer we have to delay. Otherwise, if this case is handed over to someone else and closed, regardless of whether the criminal is really the criminal or not, the reputation of our Ministry of Justice will probably be ruined. Now the kids on the street are singing nursery rhymes about how the Ministry of Justice is no good. Oh, it really makes me angry!"

La Luna found it a little funny after hearing it, but she couldn't laugh in front of this person. She had to remain serious.

"I wonder what your position is?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself just now. I'm the head of the Criminal Department. You can just call me Elton."

"Well, Elton, but this matter was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to be investigated by me."

La Luna took out the token from her waist.

After seeing the token, Elton's face, which had been somewhat vibrant, suddenly turned pale, and then he dropped the files in his hand and collapsed on his seat...

"Oh, forget it... It seems that things have come to this point. His Majesty the Emperor no longer trusts us... It's time for us old guys to go back to farming and raising children."

Ah this.

La Luna looked at Elton awkwardly. To be honest, she felt a little bit sorry for him, even though she felt that this guy was just pretending.

"How about we find a compromise...?"

"Well, please, Your Highness, please temporarily join our Criminal Department and join the search team to assist us in solving the case."

"Uh……"

Sure enough, it's just an act! La Luna complained silently in her heart that this guy's acting is real, but it lacks a kind of agility, which makes people feel that it is fake at first glance.

But now that things have come to this, La Luna doesn't care anymore.

"Okay, I agree."

"Haha, thank you for your understanding, Your Highness! I will prepare your uniform and weapons for you. As for the police badge, what rank do you want? I have superintendent, senior superintendent, special police officer, senior investigator, and special investigator. I'll get you a special investigator's badge, so the clothes are more handsome!"

"..."

It turns out that the top of the police station is the Criminal Department...

Chapter 48

La Luna fiddled with the special investigator's attire on her body. She had to admit that it looked really good. The tights inside were very close-fitting, but at the same time they did not make her feel inconvenient to move around.

Over the tight-fitting uniform was a cloak with the Ministry of Justice's pattern printed on the outside of the cloak.

If I had to say what the only flaw is, it would probably be that it's too black...except for the tight-fitting uniform with some blue stripes on the edges as embellishments, the outer cloak is solid black.

The pattern on the surface of the cloak is a light gray dark pattern.

This uniform does not come with a hat. The police badge is hung on the chest of the cloak, and a knife is hung at the waist under the cloak.

Originally it was a sword, but at this time La Luna felt that the slender rapier was not very suitable for her, so she picked out a long sword with a slender and narrow blade from the armory.

"Uh...Are you sure you want this knife, sir?"

"Why, can't it?"

"The small one seems... a little unsuitable, why don't we change it..."

The person who was speaking was a police inspector sent to him by the general manager. One of his responsibilities was to assist him, after all, it would be a bit unreasonable for the general manager to not have any subordinates under his command, considering that the other party was a prince. Another responsibility was to introduce him to the current situation of the case, as well as some of the arrangements in the Ministry of Justice.

"What's wrong with this knife? I think it's great."

LaLuna flipped the scabbard around like a stick.

"No, sir, this knife... is a little longer than mine. It will be inconvenient for you to wield it. Let's change it to something more convenient."

The superintendent looked at the extra-long sword in La Luna's hand with a smile and tears in his eyes. The blade alone was nearly two meters long. It was conceivable how difficult it was to wield such a weapon. Moreover, most of the fighting in the imperial capital was street fighting. It would be fine to use such a long sword on the front line, but it really could not be used to chase criminals in such a narrow place.

"That's fine."

Seeing that this guy kept opposing, La Luna had no choice but to put the extra-long knife back.

Then La Luna saw another weapon in the armory.

"Oh, this is good."

La Luna jumped into the air and jumped directly onto a high shelf, then looked carefully at the five weapons hanging on the wall.

"Brush, fan, whip? Is there anyone here who can use these?"

"Ah, that was once a weapon used by the three great detectives of our Ministry of Justice. However, it is too difficult to operate. My Lord, please change to a simpler one..."

Before the young police chief could finish his words, La Luna took off the long whip from above and jumped down.

"Snapped!"

Before the young police chief could speak, La Luna shook the whip with her hand and created a bolt of thunder in the air.

"Okay, that's it."

The young police superintendent opened his mouth but finally swallowed his words.

The special investigators of the Ministry of Justice have tried these three weapons before. Apart from the brush and the fan, the whip is the most hurtful, and it is not others who are hurt, but oneself.

But after seeing La Luna show off her skills, the young police chief was suddenly speechless.

In fact, La Luna had played with this thing in her previous life, and it was an extra-long iron whip. When it was swung, no one dared to get close within two meters, and the whip made a snapping sound when it was swung, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

But unfortunately, to be honest, this thing really disturbs other people's rest, and it is easy to get injured when practicing. Later on, I didn't play it much.

But things are different now.

After injecting divine power into the whip, in addition to the weapon's own inertia, La Luna can even make this flexible whip become extremely hard in an instant, and it is not difficult to even control its direction.

"Since this is your first time, would you like to try it out at the training ground?"

The superintendent thought about it and decided to advise La Luna. After all, this thing is really not that easy to control.

Well, after listening to this, La Luna thought about it for a while and nodded.

"Well, take me there."

"Yes."

Under the guidance of the superintendent, La Luna left the administrative building of the Ministry of Justice, walked along the main road, turned into several alleys, and came to a very remote corner.

La Luna looked up at the sign hanging above the large yard in front.

Ministry of Justice training ground.

When you push the door open, you can see people wearing police uniforms of various types and colors constantly doing training.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the others who were training stopped what they were doing and looked out the door.

"This lady in charge of the search looks unfamiliar to me. Is she transferred to the capital from somewhere else?"
