Chapter 225 The hurricane blowing to the imperial capital
The citizens of Raging Wave City spent the entire night in fear. In the morning, the sounds of explosions and fighting gradually subsided.
But the entire city is still under martial law, and no one is allowed to go out at will. The roads are full of speeding vehicles, and imperial agents and police officers are arresting people everywhere. People from all walks of life are hiding in their homes and shivering, fearing that their houses
The door was blown open by a blast, and then a large group of vicious Imperial agents rushed in.
At this time, everyone understood that the sky above Raging Wave City had completely changed. From now on, only those who obey the Chief Inspector of Meteorite can survive here. Being an enemy of him will be Grover's fate.
At this time, Luke had returned to his office. He postponed his trip to the imperial capital on the grounds that he had been assassinated, and concentrated on handling Grover's funeral affairs.
Qingkong has a list of people who Grover colluded with, and the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Raging Wave City is using the list to arrest people with the help of various public security departments in the city.
People were coming and going in the Inspector General's office, and the arrest file was placed on Luke's desk.
Luke's instructions: Kill!
Now that the killing spree has begun, there is no need to win people's hearts with kindness at this time. Since these people are still following Grover in the end, let them continue to follow Grover.
There are too many people who have come to take over the city of Raging Waves this time. The favor has been extended, and the threat must be accepted by them.
One death warrant after another was signed and sent out by Luke.
Someone came to report that there were too many death row prisoners executed today, and the executioners had to be replaced several times because they couldn't bear it anymore.
Kylena, who was helping to sort out the death penalty documents, couldn't help but shed tears.
Luke glanced at Kylena, who was secretly wiping her tears beside him, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, let Shelley help."
"I, I'm fine." Kylena knew that she had lost her temper and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I... I just thought of my family, and many people died that time.
Chief Inspector, these people are just names to us. But for their families, it is a lifetime of sadness and longing.
I'm not pleading for them, but they deserve a fair trial."
Kylena's choking made Luke put down the pen in his hand, and his mood became extremely heavy.
"I know that behind every order I issue, there may be a life that will not lead to death. Before making this decision, I actually thought about it for many days...
From the perspective of a criminal case, they should get a fair trial and verdict. But this is not a criminal case. This is a huge gamble where the winner takes all. The loser... Since these people have chosen to bet their lives on this
On the gambling table, you must abide by the rules on the gambling table.
Killing them is a sign of respect for their gambling products."
Kylena looked up at her chief detective with a surprised look on her face. Her makeup was stained by tears.
"Chief Inspector, this is the first time I have heard your metaphor.
Very... very strange."
"It's very strange. If I didn't use this metaphor to convince myself, it would be difficult for me to make up my mind to kill so many people."
"ah!"
"Ah what? Go and touch up your makeup and call Shelley to come in and take over your job."
"Yes, Chief Inspector."
Kylena knew that the chief detective didn't want these things to arouse her sadness, so she got up and walked out the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yin outside, about to knock on the door.
"Director Yin, are you here to see our chief detective?"
Yin saw Luke, smiled slightly, and then said to Kylena: "Yes, I came to the chief inspector to talk about jointly establishing a shipping company."
Luke said: "Kylena, go do your thing and let Director Yin come in."
"Yes, Chief Inspector." Kylena stepped aside and said, "Director Yin, please come in. What would you like to drink?"
"Just a cup of tea."
Yin came to the opposite side of the desk and sat down. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought there was no way to hand over this contract to you before you left Raging Wave City. Fortunately, you postponed your trip."
As he spoke, Yin Yin took out a document from his briefcase: "The World Bank has agreed to all the cooperation terms you proposed. All-metal steam ships are very attractive to us.
The World Bank will invest in the expansion of the Ibur Shipyard, the construction of another shipyard and a ship research institute in the Cape District.
This is the contract. I have read it and there is no problem.
Take another look."
Luke took the contract and put it aside: "I get a headache when I look at something complicated like this. I will sign it after Kylena reads it.
This trip to the imperial capital makes it difficult for me to come back often. I have entrusted Ibur to manage the shipping company on my behalf. If you and I have anything to do, you can discuss it with Ibur, or you can write to me."
Thinking that Luke would leave soon, Yin couldn't help but show a look of reluctance.
"It's a pity that Pan and I still have missions..."
"What mission?"
After hearing Luke's inquiry, Yin realized that he had accidentally said something he shouldn't have said.
"Yes, it is an internal matter among us Shuojin people. It is very important and cannot be told to others."
Luke smiled and said: "Is it related to the thing you entrusted me to find? A relic of the ancient Shuojin people."
Yin asked in surprise: "You, how did you know?"
"I am an imperial agent, and this is what I do. When you entrusted me with the task, I felt that it was not a private entrustment. Qingkong also told me that you and Pan often went to her and asked many questions about the ancient Shuojin civilization.
He seems to be looking for something."
"Qingkong...Did Miss Qingkong tell you so much?"
At this time, Kylena walked in with two cups of tea.
After putting the tea away, Luke handed the contract that Yin brought to Kylena and asked her to review it, and then said: "I have something to discuss with Director Yin, please don't let anyone come in."
"Yes, Chief Inspector."
After Kylena left and closed the office door, Luke said to the voice: "I have a very good relationship with Miss Qingkong. If Miss Qingkong hadn't helped me early this morning, Grover might not have died.
Don’t worry, Miss Qingkong didn’t tell anyone else about you, and I’m not a talkative person. I’m very curious about what you are looking for, and if you tell me the exact thing, I can mobilize my people to help you find it.”
"It's an ancient relic left over from the ancient Shuojin civilization. What it is specifically... I really can't tell you." At this time, Yin's attention was obviously not on her mission, and she asked: "I heard that you were ambushed.
I'm very worried about your safety. Fortunately... Miss Qingkong stood by your side at the most critical moment.
Your relationship with Miss Qingkong is beyond everyone’s expectations.”
Qingkong's force is another talisman for Luke, so he decided to reveal some of his "relationship" with Qingkong at this time.
I also want Yin to retreat when faced with difficulties, and not to fall too deeply into the taboos of Shuojin people.
"Miss Qingkong is a partner I can trust in any situation."
Yin's expression was in a trance.
"It's... unexpected. By the way," Yin took out a golden pocket watch: "This is a gold watch made by our Shuojin alchemist. It can establish a weak connection with the artifacts of the Shuojin civilization. I'm here
It has a spell cast on it that releases a shield when you are in danger.
Pan said that you will definitely encounter many dangers when you return to the imperial capital this time. I don't hope you will use it, but I hope it can protect you at a critical moment."
There were complicated emotions in Yin's eyes, which made Luke's heart waver.
He took the gold watch and said lukewarmly: "Thank you, this is the best gift I received before going to the imperial capital. Unfortunately, I didn't prepare a gift for you.
When we meet next time, I will prepare the gifts in advance."
When the atmosphere in the room gradually became awkward, Kylena walked in, holding the contract in her hand.
"Chief Inspector, I have read this contract. There is no problem. You can sign it."
Luke signed his name on the contract and handed the World Bank copy to Yin: "Goodbye... say hello to Pan for me."
Yin was not happy about signing such a big cooperation project, but stood up with a touch of sadness.
"Goodbye, Chief Inspector... although I don't know when we will meet next time."
The sound left, and Luke suddenly felt as if his heart felt a lot empty. He took off the pocket watch he had been wearing and replaced it with a gold watch.
Open the dial to correct the time.
Kylena tidied the table and asked Luke, who was a little depressed: "Chief Inspector, do you like Director Yin?"
Luke glanced at Kylena and hummed: "I like to meddle so much, this is not the time to cry just now! Go call Shelley, we will kill everyone who deserves to be killed today."
Kylena panicked: "Yes, yes, Chief Inspector."
"Wait a minute..." Luke stopped Kylena again. He looked at the gold watch and put it in his pocket. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have killed enough people today. You can stay and help me organize the files."
, if you can spare one life, spare one life."
"Yes, Chief Inspector!" Kylena turned from worry to joy and immediately ran to her seat.
"Look carefully, the workload is heavy, be prepared to work overtime at night."
"I'll do all the work, Chief Inspector."
"I hope they remember you saving their lives."
"Their lives were given by you, Chief Inspector...and Director Yin..."
…
The story that Grover ambushed the meteorite and was killed by the meteorite swept out of Raging Waves City like a hurricane and quickly spread throughout the empire.
This strong wind force was felt even in the imperial capital Shenglun City.
Grover and his accomplices were accused of rebellion by Meteor, and the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Raging Waves City carried out a large-scale purge. A long list of people killed in one day was written, which shocked everyone who saw it.
With such iron-blooded methods, Meteor is going to swallow the city of Raging Waves whole, including the bones.
"Crazy! Crazy!"
After Agatha got the information, her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. She originally thought that the meteor would come to the imperial capital soon, and that the city of Raging Waves could finally calm down. However, she never expected that the meteor would do such a thing when it was about to set off.
A huge event like the sky falling.
Looking at the course of events, it is obvious that everything was arranged by Meteor.
He allowed Clear Sky to gain Grover's trust and persuaded Grover to ambush in Raging Waves City. This would give him enough reason to kill Grover and purge everyone in Raging Waves City who was not on his side.
On the last day he left Raging Wave City, Meteorite completed complete control of this kind of city.
But I have to bear the blame for this.
Agatha knew she couldn't carry it, it would crush her to death!
"Change my clothes, I'm going to see His Majesty." Agatha drank a large glass of red wine in one gulp to calm her violently beating heart, and then ordered the female officer.
She must explain to Emperor Augustine as soon as possible, even if the meteorite is out of control. Otherwise...she may not even have a chance to explain.
The female officers who served Agatha had never seen the eldest princess in such a panic. They quickly changed Agatha into the princess clothes for meeting His Majesty, put her hair into a bun and put on the eldest princess's tiara.
Agatha arrived at the palace anxiously, thinking hard about how to face her father's questioning.
Although she thought she was usually smart enough, at this moment she had no way out of the predicament.
Everything depends on how much father-daughter love your father still cherishes.
In a greenhouse, Agatha met Emperor Augustine: "Father..."
"sit down."
Her father's cold tone made Agatha even more nervous.
If Emperor Augustine got angry and ordered himself to kneel down, it meant that there was room for change.
His tone is very cold now, which means that things are going in the worst direction.
After Agatha sat down, she said: "Father... I didn't know what happened in Raging Wave City in advance."
"I know you don't know." Emperor Augustine's tone was still emotionless: "I am old, you are anxious, your subordinates are probably more anxious than you. Even if you don't want to sit on this throne, your subordinates are thinking
How can I push you up?"
Agatha was a little confused about the emperor's thoughts, and she said carefully: "Meteor..."
"Meteor Star did something right." Emperor Augustine took out a piece of paper and said, "You are so anxious to see me, so you must have received this list. You are ruthless in your methods and meticulous in your work... How can you discover such a capable minister?
It's a blessing for the empire.
Moreover, there is also an Elf Clear Sky.
The only thing you did wrong was not recommending them to me early, and placing them in Raging Waves City was overkill and underqualified."
Listening to Emperor Augustine's words, Agatha's chaotic mind suddenly felt a glimmer of clarity and swept away all the chaos.
Yuexing put Qingkong on the table at this time because he wanted Qingkong to be his amulet. But in the eyes of his father at this time, Qingkong was also his amulet.
Qingkong has repeatedly demonstrated superb martial arts in Raging Waves City, and is the candidate to be the next dean of Oulu College.
Father thinks that Qingkong is also mine, so he is afraid of me. Otherwise... based on what Yuexing did in Raging Wave City, I wouldn't even be able to get in through the door of this room.
Agatha woke up from her panic and immediately wanted to understand why Emperor Augustine had such an attitude.
She looked up at her father, with suppressed anger in his eyes.
"Father, Meteorite is suppressing the rebellion in Raging Wave Town. I will ask him to finish the matter as soon as possible and come to the imperial capital to report on his duties. Meteorite is very young and has plenty of time to serve the empire."
"Where is Elf Qingkong? Let her come to the imperial capital too!"
Agatha knew her father's purpose. As the emperor of the empire, how could he tolerate someone who could threaten his throne.
"Father, Elf Qingkong is currently working at Oulu College..."
Emperor Augustine said: "I have long had the idea of having the Oulu Academy open a branch in the imperial capital. Isn't the Elf Qingkong in charge of the Occult Department of Oulu Academy? You can move the Occult Department here first. It just so happens that the Empire wants to expand the Occult Department.
Investment in research.”
Agatha didn't want Qingkong to come to the Imperial Capital. She said tactfully: "The Elf Qingkong is just helping me and is not affiliated with the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service. I need to seek her opinion on letting her come to the Imperial Capital."
"Seek her opinion first. I will also talk to Dean Wilred. The research on occult arts at Oulu College has been neglected for too long. If you want to catch up with the same level in the world, you still need the power of the empire."
Agatha knew that her father would never change his decision, so she could only agree first and then go back and find a way.
"Yes, Father, I will write to Miss Qingkong to inform Miss Qingkong. About Raging Waves City..."
"Since Yue Xing has captured Raging Wave City for you, just accept it. Yue Xing is yours, and you know his true situation... Is he married?"
Agatha's hands couldn't help but tremble.
By bringing Qingqing into the imperial capital, you can win her over. Marriage can also dig out Yue Xing from the Secret Intelligence Bureau...
Without the two of them, his father would have no scruples about dealing with him again.
"Father, as far as I know... Yue Xing is not married, but I don't know if he has a secret lover."
Augustine nodded slightly.
After testing, he was able to judge that his daughter really did not know what happened in Raging Waves City in advance, and that everything was the fault of Meteorite. The purpose was just as he had judged at the beginning, to push Agatha to the top.
But Agatha placed the meteor in Raging Waves City without authorization, and secretly befriended the elf Qingkong. Her purpose was not pure in the first place.
Fortunately, the meteors and clear sky can be used by the eldest princess, and naturally they can be used by the more noble emperor. All Agatha can give them is an uncertain future, but the emperor can give them the present.
"It's fine if you're not married. As for lovers...it's nothing to a man who does big things.
When Meteor comes to the imperial capital, I want to have a good talk with him.
It’s time for your sister, Princess Dai’er, to get married.”
