"I don't have to sit."

Sherlock shook his head and looked straight at Phil.

"Tell me, Phil, what happened?"

"To be honest, I don't really know."

Phil said helplessly.

"You also know, Charlotte, I work for the royal family. You must not be angry about what I am about to say next."

"Well, you said."

Sherlock was mentally prepared. The worst that could happen was that the royal family would abandon her. She had been prepared since she took office.

"Someone from the royal family said...you are Orson's friend and have met with him privately. The investigation results are all fabricated, and the evidence proving Orson is not a suspect is also fake. So they asked me to control you first, and then they will continue to try Orson."

"what?!"

Even though he was prepared, Sherlock was still a little surprised.

"But they don't have any evidence to prove that Orson is the criminal. Are they going to forge evidence and persecute Orson?"

"Maybe."

Phil smiled wryly and shrugged.

"The royal family is like this. Once someone threatens their rule, they will fight that person to the end, even if the final result is that both sides suffer losses, even if there is no crime at all."

"But aren't they afraid that if they attack Orson, forces from other places will counterattack?"

"This is not something that a worker like me can think about."

Phil sighed.

"You should stay here for the next few days. Luckily I'm watching you, otherwise the others would probably use other means."

"Other means?"

"Well, like torture? Anyway, it won't make you feel too comfortable."

Phil said this, stood at the window, looked at the crowd outside, and sighed.

"However, I estimate that something unexpected will happen in Saint Laurent City soon."

"Before that, you should rest here for a while. Although I can't guarantee that I will let you out, it's no problem for you to have a comfortable life."

"Thank you..."

Hearing this, Sherlock thanked Phil softly.

……

A few more days passed, and the students of the Imperial Academy who went out for training completed their training reports one after another, so the Imperial Academy prepared to end the semester of this academic year.

As the student union president and student representative, Orson naturally went on stage to speak.

"As students of the Imperial Academy, we carry the future of the Imperial Academy and the future of the Empire. I hope you will work hard and live up to your youth to reach the top of the mountains."

After Orson finished his closing remarks, the audience burst into thunderous applause. He bowed to the audience and then gave the remaining time to the dean Luca.

Just as he stepped down from the stage, Therese approached him.

"Orson, there's news just now coming from the academy gate, saying that the royal guards are waiting at the academy gate, ready to take you in for investigation."

When Orson heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Me? Haven't I already completed the investigation?"

"So I think the situation this time is not that simple. At least, it may be more dangerous than the last time I took you away. What do you think? If you are ready to refuse, I will deal with them."

"No need."

Orson shook his head and rejected Triss's kindness.

"Teacher Triss, I appreciate your kindness, but this is my business. If they really want to target me, then I shouldn't involve you. Anyway... I have my own way, trust me."

"..." Triss was silent for a while after hearing this, and then nodded.

"Okay, then I believe you, but at least let me walk you out of the school gate."

Having said this, she took the initiative to walk in front of Orson.

"Ok."

When we arrived at the gate of the Imperial College, as expected, a group of guards were already waiting quietly at the door.

The moment Orson stepped out of the school gate, the guards came up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Orson, you have been accused of colluding with the police station staff to clear your suspicion of crime, so we have to ask you to go back and continue the investigation."

"Well, of course." Orson nodded with a smile, then turned around and waved to Triss.

"Teacher Tris, please say hello to Lit for me."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Orson was taken back to the police station.

This time, at the door of the police station, only Owen was there to greet Orson.

Orson immediately understood how the so-called "charges" were fabricated.

"I really didn't expect that within a few days, I would be back again."

Orson said this in a self-deprecating manner before Owen could even speak.

When Owen heard this, he felt ashamed.

Orson seemed to be making fun of himself, but in fact he was secretly expressing his dissatisfaction with the work of the police station.

Arrest people, release them, and arrest them again.

As a result, the reputation of the entire police station was almost ruined.

"I know it's not your fault, and I'm not going to blame you."

Orson said so

Then, he waved his hand, walked past Owen and walked into the police station.

Then he found the residence arranged for him by the public security bureau with ease.

Returning to the police station was as easy as returning home.

After the graduation ceremony, Lit didn't see Orson.

"Really? I clearly told Orson to wait for me, but he got lost first."

Thinking of this, Li Te felt dissatisfied.

But then, thinking that Orson might be preparing a little surprise for him in the dormitory, Litt began to look forward to it a little.

However, when she returned to the dormitory and opened the door, she only saw Orson's teacher Triss sitting on the sofa in the dormitory.

Seeing Litt coming back, Triss quickly explained: "The key to the room was given to me by Orson."

"Eh? Why did Orson give the key to the dormitory door to Teacher Triss? What was he doing?"

When Triss heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on her face. She thought for a while, and then told Litt the truth.

"Orson... was taken away by the police again."

When Li Te heard this, it was as if a bolt from the blue had struck him, and the package in his hand fell to the ground.

"Why... why?"

Her voice was trembling, but she couldn't help asking, "Why are they arresting Orson again? Hasn't he been cleared of suspicion?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but they said they suspected Orson had bribed the police station staff to help him clear his name, but I don't think that's possible."

Therese expressed her guess:

"I think this is more like a coup. They want to control Orson and help themselves take the throne."

"what……"

When Lit heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Orson once told him that they should stand on Elsa's side.

Then, it is obvious who attacked Orson.

It's Alsace.

"The message has been passed on. It's time for me to leave. Li Te, take care to protect yourself during this period. If they dare to attack Orson, they may not be afraid to attack others."

Triss said this, walked up to Litt, patted Litt's shoulder gently, and then walked out of the room.

Lit lowered his head, thinking about something in his heart.

On the other side, in Orson's residence.

This time, the person who came to question Orson was not Sherlock, but Arthas himself.

"Mr. Orson, long time no see."

Arthas stood at the door and greeted Orson with a smile.

"Have I been addressed as 'Your Excellency' by Your Highness?"

Orson put the book down but remained seated in the chair.

"Hey, what's that? I'm respecting you, Orson. Otherwise, should I call you Duke Orson? Or Mr. Orson?"

"That's not necessary. Just call me Orson like before."

Orson said with a smile.

The atmosphere between the two people seemed quite harmonious, and there was a sense of excitement like friends meeting each other.

However, it is particularly ironic to include the two people's current situation in it.

"Your Highness, the police station doesn't seem to be that efficient. Last time they found me innocent and released me, but this time they arrested me on a different charge. It seems like your men are not very capable."

Orson said this with a hint of meaning.

Of course, Arthas knew what Orson meant. He came behind Orson and leaned his hands on the back of the chair.

"There's nothing I can do. I forgot the principle of avoiding acquaintances before. There was some corruption in the police station. The results of the investigation can't be taken seriously, so now I can only re-examine and solve the case."

"Corruption incident." Orson wanted to laugh when he heard this.

I'm afraid that the so-called corruption incident was entirely concocted by Alsace.

"I can't help it. Although we left you here alone, Orson, we arranged people outside to see the conversation between you and Sherlock. I thought it was very strange at the time. As expected, we found a large amount of funds of unknown origin in Sherlock's home. Who would give such a large sum of money to her?"

"So you suspect me?"

"Of course, we can't rule out those suspicions after all."

"Okay, let's talk frankly."

As Orson said this, his tone became much more serious.

"Your Highness, what do you need?"

"You should know what I need, Orson."

Arthas placed his hands on Orson's shoulders.

"I control the military power of the empire and half of the land directly under the royal family."

"And you, Orson, have a close relationship with the largest chamber of commerce in the empire. I can say that you are the richest person in the empire."

"At the same time, you are the most capable and prestigious person in the empire, so I would like to discuss a cooperation with you."

"cooperate?"

"I've looked for you before, haven't I?"

Arthas said this and brought the past back to Orson.

"Have you forgotten what I talked to you about during the school festival?"

Of course Orson knew that it was Arthas who wanted to win him over at that time, so he nodded.
