Chapter 347 The Twin Cities (12)

Old Moro's tone was not very respectful, but Ai Xue was used to it. She took the musket from Emily, handed it over, and said, "Please help me see this."

No matter how impatient Ai Xue was his boss, Old Moro took it over for a while. First, he looked at the snatch and pulled the bolt and tried it. This is indeed an old guy who has been old. From the outside, he looked very well maintained, without any rust or damage. However, when he pulled the bolt just now, Old Moro almost pulled it. The internal structure inside seemed to have been damaged, but it needs to be removed to confirm.

Halfway through the demolition, Old Moro's face suddenly changed, and from his carelessness before, he became a little solemn. He picked up the half-demolition gun and the parts he removed, and said, "I need to take a closer look." He said this and went straight into the house without waiting for Ai Xue to answer.

Aishi smiled apologetically at Emily and said, "That's what Old Morrow's temper is."

Emily said indifferently: "Understand that many craftsmen do this." He focused his whole life on one thing. Such craftsmen often don't care much about human relationships, but they can still trust them in their professional aspects.

"Let's wait here, I believe the result will come out soon." Ai Xue said.

"Don't we go in and take a look?"

"No, Old Moro doesn't like anyone to stare when he is working," Ai Xue explained, "and believe me, the smell in the room is really not very good." The room was filled with inexplicable liquids for quenching, and various oils needed for mechanical repairs. These things have one common feature: the smell is quite bad. Ai Xue never wanted to go again after entering it once.

"Okay." Emily didn't insist. There was a stone table in the other corner of the yard, next to it, and the two sat there.

Just as Ai Xue was thinking about finding a topic to kill time, Emily suddenly whispered: "Is there any food here?"

"Are you hungry?" Ai Xue said with a smile.

Emily nodded and said, "Well, I haven't eaten all day." This is not simple for Emily. Perhaps because of her childhood experience, she has a special enthusiasm for eating. She may not necessarily say how good she eats, but she just likes the feeling of being full of her stomach, which makes her so busy that she forgets to eat. It seems that she has devoted great effort to this investigation.

Ai Xue said considerately: "Work is important, but you must also pay attention to your health!" She called a guy and told him to get a plate of snacks. This is where so many craftsmen live and work, and it is easier to find some food.

Soon, a plate of snacks were delivered. The snacks here were not as exquisite as those prepared by Danica, Phyllis and the others in the Aishi Chamber of Commerce villa. They were mainly prepared for blacksmiths who were busy and forgot to eat, so the amount was very large and it was quite hungry. However, this was exactly in line with Emily's requirements.

After eating two snacks, Emily felt something in her stomach, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said a little abruptly: "I don't like Catherine."

Ai Xue also broke a little snack and ate it. Suddenly, she heard Emily say this and asked in surprise: "Why?" Emily is the investigator of this assassination. What does she mean by saying this now? Could it be...

Emily frowned and said, "She is different from us. We are people around our master, but she is not, and she was very unfaithful to her master at the beginning."

Ai Xue put down the snacks, chuckled, and said, "You said that too, that was the beginning, isn't it all over now?" Catherine was originally a mercenary. Although life was difficult, there was no restraint. When she first came to Danica, she was really uncomfortable when facing such a master who was used to manipulating everything, but that was a long time ago.

"But she didn't become like us," Emily stressed.

Ai Xue had nothing to say. Indeed, I don’t know why. Catherine always had a special sense of independence and pride in front of them, but the problem is that Ai Xue really couldn’t think of what her dependence was. Although Katherine now controls an army that is crucial to a country, in fact, without Danica’s orders and Ai Xue and Lemil’s support, this army will face the crisis of running out of ammunition and food in a few days. What’s more, it is that she can’t mobilize this army at all.

Seeing Ai Xue silent, Emily continued: "But she is not as focused on her own affairs as Lemil, and she always has many ideas."

Ai Xue raised her head and asked, "She has an idea? What does she have an idea?" Catherine is now managing the army. If she has an idea, it would be dangerous, and it would be even more dangerous for the country and for herself.

Emily picked up another piece of snack and said, "You should know that Catherine had a mercenary group before, and she had many subordinates who had been with her for a long time."

"Oh, I know this." Ai Xue said, "but I remember that when she disbanded the mercenary group, her mercenaries were scattered everywhere."

Emily said: "Yes, but there are signs that many of the former old subordinates have come to surrender to Catherine again, and she has arranged them into the army." This news was not actually discovered by Emily, but Berey told her that Emily heard a lot of news from Berey, and she didn't know how that guy knew.

"This..." This matter is really hard to say. If Danica doesn't care, it's not a big deal. Aishi Chamber of Commerce is still Aishi's people. Since Catherine is in charge of the army, it's always easier to use people she is familiar with. But if it goes seriously, Catherine is suspected of being a ill-thinking plan.

"This matter needs to be handled by the master." Ai Xue said this last time.

"I know this, but..." Emily said halfway, Old Morrow walked out, holding a musket that had been completely made into parts in his hand, and walked towards them.

Although I really wanted to hear more from Emily, it was no longer appropriate now. Ai Xue stood up and asked, "How is it? Is there any result?"

Old Moro nodded seriously and said, "This is indeed the craft of the dwarfs, and... and it is made of extremely advanced production techniques and some rare ores."

Putting the pile of parts on the stone table, Old Moro continued: "But this musket has been destroyed. I think someone fired a special bullet with it and directly scrapped it."

In the next few days, Emily devoted herself to the investigation of the assassination. However, it was a bit strange that Danica did not ask how the investigation was progressing. She lived directly in Phyllis' room, reading books and studying magic every day, and living a comfortable life.

Five days after the assassination, Emily can finally come up with a preliminary investigation report and submit it to Danica.

Still sitting on the bed, Danica looked through the thirteen-page report and said, "Cas Town?"

Emily stood aside and said, "Yes, the main feature of this assassination is Cass Town. The result of the investigation is that people who are closely related to this assassination come from Cass Town."

In addition to the murderer being caught by Berey on the spot and directly swallowing his soul, there are two people who have been found now. One is the buyer of the musket, an apprentice in the blacksmith workshop of the Aixe Chamber of Commerce. In addition, there are reports that the murderer was bought in a small shop in Twin Cities.

"But they all ran away?" Danica said expressionlessly with the report on the bedside table.

Emily's heart began to jump up. This was indeed a major dereliction of duty for her. When she locked these two people and led the team to arrest them, she found that both of them had already run away. Twin Cities were originally a transportation hub with such a large flow of people, and they could run without a trace in just half a day.

Danica looked up at Emily, and she stood there with her head down, unable to say a word.

Danica sighed helplessly, waved her hand, and said, "Come here!"

Emily, who was about to cry, then laughed, turned into a black cat, and jumped into Danica's arms. Danica used her fingers to comb the hair on the cat's body, and said, "How is your cooperation with Berey?"

Emily rubbed Danica's chest with her head and said, "It's okay, but Berey always gives me a very gloomy feeling."

Of course, Berey is a ghost, and it would be strange if he could get sunny.

Danica said: "Remember, you are the leader in this investigation, don't be a puppet who is being fooled."

"Okay, I get it."

"The investigation of this assassination continues, but don't be too anxious. The most important thing now is our previous plan to arrest all the nobles and deal with them." Danica said coldly.

This is Danica's original plan. With the help of the mid-level awakened people who suddenly emerged, they killed the nobles of the Twin Cities for a round. Through the investigation of the assassination incident, the remaining nobles were also dealt with. Without the other party's preparation, they eliminated the entire aristocratic class of the Twin Cities in one fell swoop. This work is huge and requires the cooperation of Aishi, Catherine and Lemil to try to avoid causing turmoil.

After hugging Emily for a while, Danica put her down and let her go.
