While Sandpaper and Kestrel were preparing to rescue the sisters, Luke was troubled by a person who suddenly came to the door.

The grandson of Emperor Sinclair returned to the imperial capital from the northern border of the empire, as energetic as a husky. He followed the order of the eldest prince and came to the Secret Intelligence Service's Secret Service Agent Six to assist in the investigation of the attack on Princess Dai'er, and forgot about "assistance".

's clean.

Sinclair never knocked when he entered Luke's office. He opened the door and shouted: "Meteor Administration, I have made new discoveries about Aunt Dale's case... Kylena, you go out first, I want to

Discuss the case with the Governor."

Kylena, who was giving a work report to Luke, looked at Luke for instructions.

Luke waved his hand: "These matters will be handled according to your suggestions. Just write a circular letter for me to sign. Go back to work..."

"Yes, sir!"

Kylena held a large pile of documents in her arms and walked to the door. She bowed slightly and saluted Sinclair, then lowered her head and ran out, but she still heard Sinclair's whistle.

Sinclair stared at Kylena running back to her office, and then she closed the door and sat down opposite Luke. Her pace was not as steady and calm as that of a member of the royal family, and it was full of sexual aura.

"With such a beautiful reformed secretary hanging in front of you every day, no matter how busy the work is, it is a pleasure. Governor, give her to me, and I will exchange it for you with a manor outside the city."

Luke quickly signed a document in front of him and put it in the drawer on his right hand.

"Your Highness Sinclair, Kylena is the property of the Empire's Secret Intelligence Service. She has a lot of confidential information while assisting me. I advise you not to take the idea of ​​highly classified personnel of the Secret Service and stay away from Kylena.

, especially during such a sensitive period."

Faced with Luke's warning, Sinclair shrugged and crossed his legs.

"Yes, my father also warned me that this is a sensitive period." Sinclair had a casual attitude: "Especially with your help, Aunt Agatha is vying for the position of crown prince with great momentum. I will argue with you.

They have a hostile relationship with me."

Luke smiled and said: "These past few days, you have treated my place as your home. I thought you didn't know."

"So what if I know? It's my father, uncle and aunt who are vying for the crown prince. What does it have to do with me! If my father wins, no matter how many illegitimate children his father has outside, I will be his only legal son. No one

Fight with me. And if father loses..." Sinclair thought for a moment and said, "I will become a general!"

"You are optimistic!"

"So what if I'm not optimistic? Who told me to be a member of the Augustine family? This is my destiny! Although I don't like it and even escaped to the north, I still have to face it in the end."

Luke looked at Sinclair and had a new understanding of the royal grandson.

According to the normal historical process, in the story of the disintegration of the Golden Shield Empire, Emperor Augustine died of illness, and the two princes fought for the throne and launched a bloody night in the imperial capital. With the support of his mother's family, Sinclair obtained the military power of the Northern Army, but he did not

When he led the northern army to the imperial capital to support the eldest prince, the enemy country in the north took the opportunity to launch an attack.

At this time, the Northern Army had already mobilized most of its elite troops in the Imperial Civil War, but Sinclair still led the Northern Army to defend the border. In the end, without any support, the Imperial Northern Army ran out of ammunition and food and was completely wiped out. Sinclair

Die in battle...

He had the opportunity to retreat, and he could even lead the Northern Army to abandon the border and retreat to St. Lun City at the beginning of the war, seize the throne first, and then drive away foreign enemies.

But no one knows what Sinclair was thinking at the time.

Some people think that he defeated all the elite legions of the empire that were still in the hands of the royal family and became the straw that broke the camel's back. He was a foolhardy man.

Some people think that he cannot predict the future. As a general guarding the border, his duty is to guard the country's land. He chose to give up the fight for the throne and die for his country. He is a true hero.

Now in Luke's eyes, this is a rebellious guy, a soldier.

"Okay! Let's not talk about this." Luke had no good solution for Sinclair for the time being, so he had to go back to the topic: "You just talked about Princess Del's case. Have you made any new discoveries?"

Speaking of Princess Dai'er, Sinclair became energetic. He leaned on the table and whispered mysteriously: "It's not a new discovery, it just confirmed one of my conjectures."

"What's your guess?" Luke didn't think Sinclair, who had just returned from the north, could spit out ivory from his dog's mouth.

"It's pointless to tell you the result directly. Let me talk about my reasoning process first." Sinclair said proudly: "In the information you disclosed, I noticed a detail. The bottom of Aunt Dai'er's carriage is opened from the inside.

Yes, the camouflage cloak hidden under the car seat also disappeared.

I just carefully inspected Aunt Dai'er's carriage, and there was no internal damage, and the bottom of the car was not opened violently... Therefore, I concluded that Aunt Dai'er was not kidnapped, and she ran away on her own."

"This is absolutely impossible!" Luke said loudly: "At that time, the royal knights and palace guards had already controlled the situation, and support arrived immediately. Princess Del left the carriage with well-defended measures, not to expose herself to danger.

?

And how to explain the maid's coma? Could it be that Princess Daier knocked her out?

When we solve cases, we must pay attention to rationality. Anyone who does anything has a motive. Your Highness Sinclair, if you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense. Solving cases is different from your approach to fighting. Solving cases is not about presupposing a conjecture and then looking for supporting evidence.

Make positive inferences based on all known clues.

In this regard, no one is more professional than our Imperial Secret Service. Please don't talk nonsense, wrong information will lead to serious consequences."

The inference was rejected, but Sinclair still insisted on his own inference.

"Governor, you don't know Aunt Dale. Do you think Aunt Dale has the best relationship with Aunt Agatha... Then you are wrong." Sinclair shook his head and said, "Aunt Agatha is the kind of person who has the best relationship."

Personality, although she likes Aunt Dai'er, she can't play with her. The person who has the best relationship with Aunt Dai'er... is me. When she was a child, I took her to climb trees and ride horses."

Luke was surprised: "It's a bit unexpected."

"It's a bit unexpected, but Aunt Del has no playmates since she was a child, and I have no brothers or sisters, at least not in name. I want to have a sister, and Aunt Del is younger than me." Sinclair was very happy.

Missing the past time, he came back to his senses and said: "Aunt Dai'er has always wanted to escape from the palace, and the attack that day was the perfect opportunity.

She took advantage of the chaos outside the carriage to focus the guards' attention on the assassin. She first used magic to stun the personal maid, then opened the door under the carriage and got out. Yes, she also took away the camouflage cloak so that she could be visible to the people around her.

Sneak away quietly without being noticed."

Sinclair said, making a slithering gesture with his fingers on the table.

Let Luke shout in his heart: What a bull!

"Although I still don't agree with your inference..." Luke tested Sinclair to see if he had any information that he hadn't revealed yet: "But considering your inference there is still a certain degree of rationality, we can use it as a Investigation direction.

Do you think...if Princess Dai'er escaped on her own, where would she go?"

Sinclair sighed: "This... I don't know! After all, I went to the Northern Army, and the number of times I met Aunt Dai'er became less and I didn't know her strength very well. But since you have spent so many days If we can’t even find her, she must have run out of the imperial capital, maybe even abroad.”

Luke sighed: If I hadn't stopped her, she would have really run out of the country.

Luke pretended to think for a while and said to Sinclair: "I hope your inference is correct. No matter where Princess Del went, at least she is safe.

But this is just an inference, and I can't even make it public because there is no evidence to convince everyone.

What are you going to do next? I don’t think you need to stay here.”

But Sinclair had no intention of leaving.

"No, no, no, I will never go back. If I don't help you handle the case, I will be locked up at home. Besides, although we know that Aunt Dai'er escaped on her own..."

Luke reminded: "This is just your inference."

"Yes, it's just my inference. But the person who attacked Aunt Daier exists, and he is in the palace. The next thing I have to do is to catch him." Sinclair was very confident in himself, and then said Luke asked: "Tell me what you found? I don't believe you have made all the information related to the case public. Tell me the secrets you know, and I will check it out!"

Luke looked at Sinclair and thought about finding him a job that would consume his energy and not let him roam around here.

"I'm going to visit someone now, but I don't have a qualified person to recommend me. I wonder if you are willing to take me there."

"I'm willing... In the imperial capital, there is no door that I can't bring you in. Who are you going to see?"

Luke said meaningfully: "Second Prince, His Highness Alec."

Sinclair suddenly looked at Luke: "You suspect..."

"I didn't say anything. I just heard that His Highness Alec's manor is very luxurious and beautiful, and I want to visit and learn..."

Sinclair was even more unconvinced.

Meteorite is now the acting eldest princess in charge of Nutao City, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the richest person in the empire. Nutao City is also an international fashion center, and some gadgets that have been introduced to the imperial capital may be outdated things that Nutao City has played.

There must be another purpose for Yuexing to go to see Uncle Alec. Could it be that he is really related to the case of attacking Aunt Dai'er?

Sinclair was a soldier and knew the defenses of the Imperial City. He was able to organize a thorough assassination in such a short period of time, which was not something ordinary dignitaries could do.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Sinclair said very solemnly.

…

Alec Augustine is the second son of Emperor Augustine the Great. He is young and flamboyant. He likes to hold banquets and make friends with nobles and ministers. He has a very forthright personality and is generous with his wealth. He sponsors many expedition teams and rangers. As long as people who have made a name for themselves have difficulties, they will come to him. Alec will try his best to help.

Therefore, Alec had a good reputation in the court and in the countryside, and the manor also had many idlers with various talents.

Alec's relationship with a female ranger named "Nightingale" has been in full swing recently. If Alec hadn't been a prince, he would have even talked about getting married.

Sinclair's visit this time was somewhat beyond Alec's expectations. Since the beginning of the crown prince dispute, the relationship between him and his brother Fania has become worse and worse. This time the imperial civil war broke out, Fania was assigned to the southern front.

It put him even more at a disadvantage.

And when the butler said that the Governor of the Meteor Star was coming with Sinclair, Alec felt as if he had eaten a fly.

"Let them come in." Alec said angrily.

After the butler left, Nightingale in silk robe came to Alec: "Your Highness, what do you need me to do for you?"

Alec hugged Nightingale's waist, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Go, put on the new equipment I prepared for you, and properly show your strength to my nephew and Meteor."

"Yes, my highness!" Nightingale kissed Alec's cheek, and then broke away from his arms.

Alec was a little reluctant to part with Nightingale's body, but he still called the maid to change his clothes.
