Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 142 Contact
"You promised me that you would save them!" After being dragged into the car by Luke, Sandpaper couldn't help but ask loudly, "She is Hannie!"
The chaotic memories came flooding back, Sandpaper clenched her fists, her long metallic hair fluttered. She looked at her sister who was moving away through the window, wishing she could rush back and pull her to her side.
Luke pressed the sandpaper down and said, "I didn't say she wasn't, nor did I say I wouldn't save them."
"But why did you pull me away? She's obviously being controlled!"
"I know more than you know. We are imperial spies. We must rely on evidence for everything we do. We cannot arrest people publicly without evidence."
"Can……"
"Calm yourself down. Now we're going to find someone to help rescue Hanni. If you keep making such a fuss, I won't care."
After hearing what Luke said, Sandpaper immediately turned from anger to joy: "Really?"
"Sit tight!"
"Yes, Inspector."
"Remove your fighting state, and stop letting your hair fly. It hurts me."
"Yes, Inspector! Where are we going?"
"Go to the Government Office..."
At the City Hall, Luke met Mrs. Michelle and told her the plan he had discussed with Viscount Iscolan.
There were only two of them in the office.
Mrs. Michelle was very surprised and asked: "Are you sure that the Duke of Celtic is supporting the Abyss Temple behind the scenes? Why did he do this?"
Luke sat across from the desk, crossed his legs, and picked up a pen from the desk and twirled it between his fingers.
"We have no idea what the Duke of Celtic wants to do. But the envoy he sent told Viscount Iscolan that the Duke wants to capture the elf Qingkong.
The Abyss Temple also wants to capture the elf Qingkong.
Madam, the closer you are to Qingkong, the greater the danger you face. Only by actively eliminating these Abyss Mages can you ensure your safety."
Mrs. Michelle agreed with Luke.
Ever since she made public her relationship with the elf Qingkong, she has stepped up her protection and reduced unnecessary outings.
But there is no such thing as a thief on duty. Mrs. Michelle was afraid that she would be attacked by the Temple of the Abyss if she let her guard down for a moment.
"I can contact Miss Qingkong and ask her to help us set up this ambush. After all, these Abyss Mages are here for the Book of Disaster, and Miss Qingkong must want to swat these annoying flies to death.
As for the Joint Security Agency...
Director Nishizawa has just taken office, so it may be difficult for him to provide effective support, but this is a rare achievement for him. "
Luke said, "This is indeed a rare achievement, which will help Director Caesar take control of the Central City Public Security Bureau. Madam should have known that Prime Minister Gabriel sent his staff, and Caesar's position as Acting Director is very unstable."
Caesar's position as the chief of the central city police department is an important handle for Mrs. Michelle in the government affairs of Nutao City.
If she lost this position, she would only gain fame in the Virgil incident but would not gain any real power.
Mrs. Michelle thought for a moment and replied to Luke: "I will talk to Caesar. If the sheriff in the central city cannot be used, perhaps we can secretly transfer some sheriffs from the West Tower city to help.
He also needs some trusted confidants in the Central City Police Department."
Although Luke did not say it explicitly, Mrs. Michelle knew very well that the main force to deal with this group of abyss mages were the battle mages of the Elf Clear Sky and Oulu Academy.
It is gilded if others can get involved.
If Caesar could pull a group of people from the Xita Security Bureau and gain some merit, he could then naturally make a major overhaul of the Central City Security Bureau.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Luke whispered, "I'll leave the matter of contacting Miss Qingkong and Director Caesar to Madam. In addition, I would like to ask Miss Qingkong to do me a favor..."
"What is it?" asked Mrs. Michel.
"Today I met with Prime Minister Gabriel's aide, Yomington. His so-called adopted daughter has a lot to do with a case I'm handling. If Miss Qingkong can help me catch the girl named Hongshun, I think it will be of great help to us in facing Yomington next."
Mrs. Michel thought for a moment and said, “If it doesn’t hurt Yomington, I can tell Miss Qingkong about this commission.
But I'm not sure if she will accept the commission, Miss Clear Sky is a very eccentric elf. "
Luke used the pen in his hand to write an address on a piece of paper and handed it to Mrs. Michelle: "Thank you, ma'am... If Miss Qingkong is willing to help, she can meet my person at this place. She will provide Miss Qingkong with the necessary information and can also provide cooperation."
Mrs. Michelle put away the note: "Okay, I'll pass it on."
"Thank you for your help. I'll come back when I have news."
"Goodbye, Inspector."
After saying goodbye.
Mrs. Michel immediately went out to the Central City Police Station.
Luke took his men back to the Cape District Secret Service.
Professional spies were sent out to monitor the movements of the group coming from the imperial capital around the clock.
At the same time, they tried to hurry up and handle Virgil's case, trying to find as many scapegoats as possible to pin on him.
I was busy like this until the evening.
Elf Clear Sky is online.
Luke stood on a tall tower under a full moon, and stretched out his hand, from which six different colored crystals sprang up.
Secret language: Wind voice. (Leave the sound in the wind, and release it through the same combination of secret words. Can be used for medium and short distance encrypted communication.)
A gust of wind blew .
"Ms. Qingkong, I want to see you for something." It was Mrs. Michelle's voice.
Luke jumped down from the tower, summoned the Republic's Glory steam locomotive, and rode it towards the central city.
On the rooftop of the Whisperer Mystery Shop, Mrs. Michelle had already brewed a pot of tea. Outside the pavilion, a large mechanical spider lay there with its claws folded, and many gargoyles were perched on the surrounding rooftops.
Suddenly a figure appeared in the pavilion, and the mechanical spider on the ground suddenly jumped up, revealing eight spear-like claws.
Mrs. Michelle ordered, "Get down... this is Miss Clear Sky, my friend."
The mechanical spider lay down again, and some steam leaked out of its body.
Luke, who was invited, sat down. She took a sip from the teacup and said, "The protection here is much stricter than before."
"Before, I was just an spectator councillor, and no one wanted to harm me. But now it's different. The Book of Disaster in your hand is a big trouble. If I didn't have so many mechanical puppets to protect me, the Abyss Mage would have already found me.
Have you considered handing over the Book of Disaster? Giving it to the Abyss Temple, or returning it to the Oulu Academy, will make both you and me much safer."
Luke said, "No, the Book of Disaster is mine and I won't give it to anyone else. What do you want from me?"
