"It seems that a case Miss Mengmeng is investigating is related to the eldest young lady's family. The eldest young lady needs to get to work immediately to prevent the family's interests from being harmed, while also keeping Miss Mengmeng in check... You understand?"
"understood!"
Yulia nodded immediately, the disappointment in her eyes disappearing, but she pouted:
"That scoundrel, all she does is flirt around, she's so wicked... Humph. Since she's going to do such bad things, I'm not going to help her! Let's go, let's go home and sleep!"
. . . . .
Thanks to Marcy's quick thinking, Yulia's psychological problems were temporarily resolved.
Meanwhile, the portal that suddenly appeared in old man Langdon's courtyard startled the Bureau of Investigation agents who were searching the area.
When Emerald stepped out of the portal, there were almost a dozen magic guns pointed at her, and many agents in the distance were also on high alert.
"What?"
Emerald looked at the magical guns with disdain, hands on her hips, striking the standard pose of an angry, spoiled young lady:
"Are you trying to rebel? Don't forget, my uncle is your bureau chief! Be careful, or I'll lock you all in a dark room and put you in solitary confinement!"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
The assistant director, who had personally come to the front lines to participate in the case, rushed over in her high heels after seeing the situation. She first gave the detectives a scolding:
"What are you all standing there for? Put your weapons down right now, do you really want to be locked up in solitary confinement?"
Then he quickly put on a smile for Emerald:
"Young Miss, please don't take offense at these idiots. They're just a little overwhelmed by the rare occurrence of such a major case... By the way, how did you manage to teleport here directly, Young Miss?"
"Because our Melson family is Langdon's biggest investor, and I also have some projects that I've commissioned Langdon to research, isn't it normal for my magic advisor to have the spatial coordinates here and be able to teleport over at any time?"
Emery first answered the question with an air of matter-of-fact composure, then waved her hand dismissively:
"Stop talking about these pointless things... Where's Mengmeng? I heard that Mengmeng was arrested by old man Langdon? That old man... knowing our relationship, he still dared to do this. He deserves to be scolded and trampled on!... By the way, what exactly did old man Langdon do? Isn't Mengmeng supposed to be investigating cases related to children? How did she get involved with old man Langdon?"
"This one……"
Emerald's expression and tone were too natural, and the agents from the Bureau of Investigation couldn't tell the real relationship between her and old man Langdon. They all thought she really didn't know anything and was just a major shareholder who had been tricked by old man Langdon.
So the assistant hesitated for a moment before saying it very tactfully:
"Mr. Langdon is indeed a very talented person, but he is a bit too extreme in his actions. Some of the methods he uses in his research have crossed the line... I'm afraid that in the future... sigh."
"The research methods have crossed the line? My God... Could it be that old man Langdon is behind the abduction of children... the magic-repelling cubs that Mengmeng has been investigating? Is old Langdon the mastermind behind it all?"
Emerald immediately demonstrated to everyone what it meant to be utterly horrified, and then stomped her foot in annoyance:
“How could old Langdon do such a thing? Our family invested in him so he could use his technology to benefit humanity, not to do this kind of thing… Sigh… Since that’s the case, then you don’t need to give me any face. Investigate however you want, sentence him however you want! On behalf of the Melson family, I strongly condemn old Langdon’s actions. We will always stand on the side of law and justice…”
First, from a moral high ground, Emery berated old Langdon, until finally, seemingly casually, she said:
"By the way, whatever Langdon did, his research equipment and results are the legitimate property of us investors. Please be very careful during the investigation, and handle them with care to avoid causing any further financial losses."
"Don't worry, Miss, we know what to do."
The assistant immediately understood the real point of Emerald's words and quickly assured her:
"We are just collecting evidence of Mr. Langdon's crimes. All the facilities and property here are only temporarily sealed off. Once our investigation is complete, they will be returned to their rightful owners."
"Ah That's good."
Emery nodded slightly, and then asked:
"So where's Mengmeng? I haven't seen her. Is she badly injured?"
"No, Investigator Bell wasn't injured and seems to be in good condition... It's probably because Mr. Langdon is concerned about your relationship, Miss, that he's just temporarily locking her up."
The assistant shrugged and said:
"Anyway, after being rescued, Investigator Bell refused to go to the hospital. She is currently in the underground facility with some agents, collecting evidence against Mr. Langdon."
"...Tsk, she's still so dedicated."
Amelie clicked her tongue and started walking towards the little white building:
"Then I'll go find her."
"Hey, hey, hey... Miss, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
The assistant quickly stopped Emery, giving a wry smile:
“I suggest that you, young lady, do not go down there. I went in out of curiosity and almost threw up my breakfast yesterday morning... That kind of hellish place is really not suitable for an elegant lady like you. I will have someone call Investigator Bell up.”
...Then you're a bit too insignificant. It's just a pile of corpses. I spent several days studying necromancy in there.
While inwardly mocking the assistant, Emery nodded and accepted the assistant's kindness.
"Is that so? Then I'd better not go down and just wait for Mengmeng here."
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then quickly walked a short distance away, took out her communication magic device, pressed a few buttons, and said in a low voice:
"Is this the evidence collection team? Tell Investigator Bell that she has a tough task ahead of her—a certain young lady has arrived, and she needs to come up and appease her."
After that, no one knows what the people below said to Mengmeng, but about ten minutes later, a hot figure walked out of the small white building, but she was limping and carrying a cane.
"Mengmeng?"
Seeing this, Emery quickly went over, put her arm around Mengmeng's waist, and ignored Mengmeng's eye roll as she touched her leg:
"What happened to your leg? Did that bastard Langdon bully you? Come here quickly so I can check it out..."
"I'm going to kill you!"
Mengmeng finally spoke up in an annoyed tone, trying to push Amelie away, but she had no strength at all, and could only scold in a coquettish voice:
"So many people are watching! You, Miss, don't care about your reputation for being charming and debonair, but can't you consider my reputation? What if they misunderstand?"
"Just watch."
Emery looked completely indifferent:
"Mengmeng, you did that to me last time, so it can't be considered a misunderstanding, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Mengmeng's voice suddenly became much louder:
"What I did to you last time was only for the sake of the investigation, not for that! You're the one who misunderstood our relationship! We're just ordinary friends!"
...Oh right, right, ordinary friends who flirt and banter as soon as they meet.
The onlookers from the Investigation Bureau found it amusing, and the assistant secretly labeled Mengmeng as someone not to be trifled with—she really was having an affair with this young lady!
After exchanging a few words with Momo, Emerald finally adopted a serious expression, even changing into her magical armor, the [Heavenly Winged Saintess], and holding a ball of holy magic in her palm.
What exactly happened to your leg? Let me treat it for you.
"Actually, it's not a problem with my leg. I just tried the healing spell, but it didn't work."
Although Mengmeng said this, she obediently found a stone platform to sit on, and at the same time stretched out one leg wrapped in a bodysuit in front of Emerald:
"That old man Langdon is really skilled—to prevent me from escaping, he injected me with some kind of drug, which has made my muscles weak and unable to exert any strength these days. I can't even hold a knife and fork properly when eating, and I have to be fed by some magical android... Tsk, objectively speaking, I've been living more like a young lady confined at home than a prisoner these past few days."
"Stop joking. Even a pampered young lady like me has never been fed."
As she spoke, Emerald took Momo's leg in her hands and tried to heal it with the holy magic on her magical armor.
"You've really never been fed by anyone?"
Mengmeng, however, revealed a disdainful expression:
"I seem to remember that time when I went to Locke City to visit you, you were lying on your white-haired elf female guard's lap like a little baby... Ouch!"
"you shut up!"
Emery pinched Mengmeng's leg without hesitation, interrupting her words, but her brows furrowed:
"That old man Langdon is something else... My holy spell didn't work? Tsk, I'll go find him and get the antidote... By the way, where's old man Langdon? Is he locked up by you guys?"
"Yes, he was taken back to the station for questioning by the advisor immediately after he surrendered. I didn't even see him when I came out. I was thinking of giving him a piece of my mind."
Mengmeng shrugged:
"As for the antidote, there's no need for it. Old Man Langdon's magical android said that this medicine has a time limit. One injection can last for about three days. Once the effect wears off, I will recover, and there will be no aftereffects... I was last injected yesterday morning, so I estimate I'll be weak for another two days."
"Then you should rest and recuperate properly! Your body is so weak, yet you're still working with crutches? You're such a workaholic!"
"Imelite complained irritably," she muttered, then glanced at her assistant not far away.
"Did you hear that? I said no one is allowed to assign Mengmeng any work these next two days! Her only task right now is to rest!"
"I don't need to rest!"
Mengmeng, however, still wanted to put on a brave face:
"I've gathered quite a bit of information from that magical android these past few days. I need to go down there and guide the evidence collection team... Ouch!"
"No, you need to rest, I told you."
Emery, however, quite domineeringly rejected Mengmeng and even tapped her on the head:
"I know you're an excellent investigator, Mengmeng, but aren't you underestimating your colleagues a bit? It was one thing when there were no leads, but now that old man Langdon has been arrested, you have to personally oversee the collection of mere evidence? If this is all the FBI is capable of, then they might as well rename themselves the Mengmeng Detective Agency."
"You're talking nonsense again! So what if you're a rich heiress? You think you're so great?"
Mengmeng retorted defiantly, but ultimately didn't insist, and even yawned as if finally relaxing.
"But you're right, I've been under a lot of stress these past few days, it's time for me to get some sleep and rest... Once I'm rested, I'll go and curse that bastard Langdon!"
"That's a good girl~~"
Amelie smiled with satisfaction, and then, as if she were her own secretary, she called over the assistant director of the investigation bureau and instructed her to arrange Mengmeng's recuperation.
The assistant was not dissatisfied at all and was very obedient. She immediately called a small airship used for emergency transport of the wounded and took Mengmeng away.
The assistant thought that Emerald would leave with Mengmeng on the airship, but to her surprise, Emerald stayed at the scene and wandered around, saying that she was just looking around and that the investigation bureau should handle the case as it was.
The Bureau of Investigation had no way to deal with Emery, so they could only let her roam around.
The Melson family's relationship with old man Langdon was indeed too deep, and Emery's arrival after the incident was rather too swift. Although many agents didn't say it aloud, they were somewhat uneasy, worried that Emery might interfere with their investigation.
Fortunately, this worry was quickly dispelled, because Amelie seemed to have little interest in the underground experimental facilities of the White Building and kept wandering around the garden, while Viliana remained behind her, maintaining her aloof and cold female guard demeanor.
After wandering around for about 40 minutes, Emery suddenly pointed to the garden full of small white flowers and said casually:
“I’ve taken a liking to these flowers. Please take them back with me, Anna.”
"Yes, Master."
Viliana immediately began casting a spell to prepare for the relocation of the flowerbed.
"This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, Miss."
Upon hearing this, several agents nearby who were responsible for searching the ground exchanged glances for a moment before mustering the courage to come over and stop them.
"The case isn't finished yet, and these items are all physical evidence... By the way, why did you suddenly want these flowers?"
"?"
Emery immediately rolled her eyes at the agent and said matter-of-factly:
"Do I, a woman, need a reason to like flowers? As for physical evidence... I don't need those things you brought out of the underground facility, I just want some flowers. Do you have to be so serious? Perhaps you should consult your superiors?"
"Well... okay, please wait a moment."
The agent hesitated for a moment, then actually took out a communication magic device, contacted the assistant lady, and briefly explained the situation.
Then the assistant's annoyed voice came over:
"What? You need to ask me for permission to do something like this? No wonder Investigator Bell is already a Purple Star level agent, even though she's old enough to be your daughter, while you're just an ordinary agent! It's just some flowers, right? If the young lady likes them, let her take them. And while you're at it, ask if she needs any help?"
Chapter 204 The AI Girl Moves to a New Home
With the assistant speaking, the agent naturally had no reason to stop Emerald.
Following Amelie's instructions, Viliana cast a spell first, using earth magic to detach the entire garden from the ground, suspending it in the air.
Next, Emerald herself used a holy sealing spell to seal the garden, which was several thousand square meters in size, down to the size of a cherry blossom. Then she put it in a jewelry box and carefully placed it inside Emerald's collar.
Seeing how much importance Amelie attached to this garden, the agents around her felt that this garden must be something special, and it was very likely one of the most valuable things in the area.
However, the fact that all of them are almost 50 years old and still working as junior detectives shows that they lack ambition. They are generally only responsible for surveying the scene and earning some performance bonuses, while their main income is still a fixed salary.
Furthermore, since the assistant had given the order, the veteran agents, not wanting to cause trouble, exchanged glances and reached a tacit understanding, pretending they knew nothing.
After completing her biggest goal for the trip, Emery didn't rush to leave and continued to wander around old man Langdon's yard.
