"Then there is no time to lose, let's go now!"
……
The three of them called Lena who lived next door, and they took a carriage to the door of the police station.
Afterwards, under the guidance of a special person, they came to Orson's residence.
"Everyone, this is where Lord Orson will be staying temporarily."
At the door, a staff member said politely.
"Okay, thank you." Olivia nodded, knocked on the door a few times, and after receiving a response from inside, she walked in.
However, Litt and Lianka, who were following behind Olivia, did not treat each other well.
Lena, who was the last of the four to enter, passed by and seemed to notice the bad mood of Lit and Lianka. She smiled brightly at the staff leading the way and said sweetly:
"Thank you, big sister."
After hearing Lena's words, her depressed mood caused by being disliked was immediately swept away, and she turned to Lena with a polite smile.
Orson thought someone came to ask for his information again, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, Olivia appeared in front of him.
"Long time no see, Orson."
"Well, long time no see, Olivia."
Several girls following closely behind Olivia also greeted Orson.
"Orson, you haven't been bullied by them these days, have you?"
Lit hurried to Orson and touched his arm.
"No, no, I'm fine, your brother. There's nothing wrong with me. Look at where I live. It doesn't look like I'll be abused."
"You never know! What if they're just pretending when we come to visit?"
"Alright, alright. Your brother is now nominally a seventh-rank expert, not to mention that I am a duke. They will not be rude to me no matter what."
The so-called nominal seventh level, after all, is just because Orson did not go to the Adventurer's Association to update his latest strength information, nor did he participate in the latest test of the academy, which resulted in his identity information still showing the seventh level.
While Orson and Litt were talking, Lianka glanced around the room, confirmed that everything was fine, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that they really didn't abuse you that much."
"Of course, but I didn't expect you, Lianka, to come with them."
Orson replied to Lianka with a smile.
Hearing Orson's words, Lianka's expression changed slightly, then she tilted her head slightly to the side and coughed lightly twice.
"Why...what's the matter? I came here to accompany them. They all want to come, so I can't not come, right?"
"Eh? But Sister Lianka seemed to have offered to come here on her own initiative just now." Lena came up to make the right move.
Lianka's face flushed immediately, and she quickly explained:
"That was Lena, you heard it wrong! And it was Lit who first suggested coming here!"
Olivia, who was standing by, looked at Lianka's reaction, touched her chin, and narrowed her eyes.
I always feel like my sister did something behind my back?
She then turned her gaze in Orson's direction.
Sure enough, Orson also secretly glanced at Olivia at this time. When he saw Olivia looking at him, he immediately showed an expression of pleading for mercy.
Olivia smiled lightly and said nothing.
Then, Lena came directly to Orson, opened her arms and hugged him, then stood on tiptoe and gently smelled the scent on Orson's body.
This action made the three women next to him dumbfounded.
Orson was also stunned and let Lena hug him.
It was not until a while later that Lena loosened her arms and looked at the people around her in a daze before she asked in confusion:
"What's wrong with everyone?"
"Lena, what were you doing just now?"
Leeteuk spoke first.
If it's just a hug, that's fine, but if you put your face close and smell it...
"Huh? Ah, I was just smelling whether big brother had any odor of injury." Lena said.
“Can you smell this?”
Lianka was confused.
She only knew that Lena had a sensitive nose, but she didn't expect Lena to have this function?
"So, Lena, did you smell it?"
Olivia, who was standing by, asked at this time.
"No."
Lena shook her head.
"It seems like Big Brother is really treated well."
"Okay, I haven't asked you why you came all of a sudden. You didn't come for the past few days, and I thought you weren't allowed to visit outside."
Orson changed the subject at this time.
"It's true that they didn't allow it before."
Litt curled his lips.
"Otherwise I wouldn't have resorted to that method."
"Is that so? So the previous gathering was indeed planned by you, Li Teuk?"
"You can't blame me, we all contributed."
At this time, Olivia was walking around the room, and suddenly, she pulled up the curtains.
The room suddenly darkened.
The other three girls looked at Olivia in confusion, but the latter just smiled and said:
"I want to help you clean the house, Orson, is that okay?"
Of course Orson understood what Olivia meant, and he nodded.
"Although there is someone to clean my room every day, who would refuse their fiancée~"
These somewhat intimate words were extremely irritating to Litt who was standing next to him, but fortunately Orson changed the subject later.
"Anyway, Li Te, you guys can come here, it shouldn't be without any conditions, right?"
"Yeah." Li Te nodded after hearing that.
"They asked us to help stabilize the situation in various places."
Lit directly stated the purpose of the police station and the royal family behind it.
"Orson, what do you think we should do?"
"Shouldn't you be the one to decide this matter?"
Orson said this while looking at Lit in front of him.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Orson..."
"Is it inconvenient for me to give you advice in my current position? Otherwise, the royal family will think that I am interfering with you."
"Think about it. If Prussia, Antica, and Naples were to unite because of me, what would be the impact on the royal family?"
After hearing what Orson said, Litt immediately understood.
"So, what do you mean?"
"I think you understand, don't you?"
Li Te's expression was full of confusion, but she finally nodded.
At this time, Olivia also came to Orson.
"Orson, I have cleaned the house. There is no dust left."
"Really? Thank you so much then."
Olivia came up to Orson at this time, and after carefully straightening his collar, she raised her head and looked at Orson again.
"Okay, it's almost time. I'm glad to see that you're okay. Shall we go back today?"
"Yeah." Orson nodded after hearing that.
"Then... Orson, goodbye."
"Goodbye big brother!"
"Ahem, I'm leaving too, you should come out earlier..."
Orson smiled, and waited until the four girls left the room before he went to the window again and opened the curtains.
He glanced in one direction meaningfully, then lay down on the bed.
……
On the other side, the Duchy of Antica.
After the royal charter was issued, Sherlock arrived at the Duchy of Antica as quickly as possible.
At the gate of the Duke of Antica's palace, Sherlock met Lucius.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Duke. I am the royal investigator Sherlock. I have been ordered to investigate the previous turmoil in the imperial city."
"I understand." Lucius nodded, then looked at Sherlock.
"But what does this have to do with our Dukedom of Antica?"
"That's right. Although it may touch upon something you don't want to mention, I would like to ask where the crest of Lady Mary, that is, the crest of the Toulouse family, is now."
Sure enough, after hearing Sherlock's words, Lucius frowned.
The breakdown of his relationship with Mary was common knowledge, and the fact that Mary committed suicide and was not buried in the family cemetery was also his acquiescence.
At this point, hearing the news about Mary, Lucius naturally couldn't be very happy.
"Why are you asking about the family emblem?"
There was a clear hint of displeasure in his tone. An ordinary person might have been frightened when faced with the Duke's tone.
But Sherlock has the support of the royal family after all, so she is not afraid at all and directly tells her the reason.
"We suspect that the family crest we found in the Imperial City was from Madam Mary, so we're going to check it out. If Madam Mary's family crest is still there, then we can rule out this suspicion."
"If not, does that prove it's our problem?"
Lucius said dissatisfiedly.
"Of course not."
Sherlock had no choice but to smile along.
"However, if he is not here, the problem may be more troublesome, because this case involves the royal family after all..."
"Little girl, you are quite good at taking advantage of others." Lucius said this, snorted coldly, then turned around and said to his subordinates:
"Give this young lady and his subordinates some time to let them investigate."
"I, Lucius, have been loyal and brave all my life. I would never do anything to betray the royal family."
Chapter 42: Strange Corpse
Sherlock led the investigation team into the Duke's mansion and immediately began the investigation.
Everyone in the Duke's Mansion cooperated very well with the investigation and told us everything they knew. The investigation went quite smoothly, and after checking the storage rooms throughout the first floor, no Lady Mary's family crest was found.
Sherlock didn't expect to find it on the first floor. After all, no matter what, Mary was once the mistress of this family, and it was impossible for such an important thing as the family emblem to be placed here.
