Luke got the letter of entrustment for handling the case signed by Congressman Ibur, and the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau obtained the right to investigate the "Clover armed airship crashing into the sea case" even if it was fair and square.

Should I investigate myself? This case must be difficult to investigate!

Luke complained in his heart, then handed the letter of entrustment to Kylena for storage, and then said to Representative Ibur: "I just sent someone to dive into the airship pod to check. The vault safe is intact. I will arrange for people to salvage it as soon as possible.

Come out and send it to the City Government Affairs Office.

Now I need to know the details of this case. The inquiry may take a long time, so please be patient."

Councilor Ibur and the four magicians expressed their willingness to cooperate.

Luke began to inquire about the case to see if there were any flaws in the plan during its execution.

There are basically no major omissions. As long as you control the important physical evidence, others can only speculate on the case. Want to investigate the truth? After crossing the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, the chain of clues cannot be connected.

As for the people who implemented the plan, except for a few core personnel, most of the spies involved had no idea what they were doing.

Don't worry about anything going wrong in the short term.

As for the long term…

While Luke was asking about the case, the captains of two naval warships boarded the Lucky Princess and came to report on their pursuit of the pirates.

There is one pirate ship, which is an old-fashioned sailing commercial warship. Facing two naval steam sailing warships, there is no strength to fight back.

The two naval warships detonated the gunpowder magazine of the pirate ship with three salvoes of artillery. The pirate ship exploded into pieces in front of all the naval officers and soldiers. The pirates inside would definitely not survive.

"Even if there are pirates who are lucky enough to survive, it will be difficult for them to swim to land alive. We all saw the damage of the Clover in the air, so we rushed over to provide support. Is there anything we can do for you?"

"Captain Mansfield, Captain Boris, this is Mr. Ibur, the member of the city council of Raging Waves City..." After Luke finished the introduction, he said to the two navy captains: "The Clover was attacked by unknown persons.

But we didn't find the whereabouts of that person. The other person was a woman, and she seemed... to have a very good figure. This is what the mages who had been friends with her said.

The mages also said that she jumped into the sea after destroying the airship. My people have not found her yet.

Before the purpose and whereabouts of the attackers are known, the most important thing is to protect the safety of the congressmen and airship passengers. Please take them to your ship."

"Yes, Inspector Meteor."

Luke turned to Ibur and said: "Sir, Congressman, let's end this inquiry here. I can see that you need to rest, and I also want to return to Raging Waves City as soon as possible. These ships of mine are all confiscated ocean-going merchant ships.

The safety and comfort are not as good as the navy's battleships, and airships also need to be salvaged here.

Everyone, follow the two captains, they will take you back to Raging Waves City."

Congressman Ibur was indeed very tired, and his clothes and hat made him feel as if there were countless insects crawling all over his body. At this time, he did not want to stay at sea for a moment.

The councilman stood up and shook hands with Luke to say goodbye: "Inspector Meteor, after you return to Raging Waves City, you must come to my mansion when you have time. You have just arrived in Raging Waves City. If you want to integrate into the upper class circle, you need an introducer, otherwise there will definitely be someone else.

Looking for trouble for you.

I promise, the real Raging Wave City will open your eyes."

"I will definitely visit you when I have time."

Councilor Ibur and the four magicians followed the navy captain, and everyone in the room looked happy.

Nearly nine tons of gold!

Not only did they get it out without anyone noticing, but they also had the power to investigate the case in their hands.

"Inspector, you are so awesome." Shelley praised loudly: "Let Ibur throw the gold out by himself... When he comes back to salvage it, even if he can't find it, he will only blame himself for remembering the wrong place.

After all, the ocean is so big, it’s impossible for them to remember it accurately.”

Pisco was also very happy. He touched his head and laughed: "Our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau finally has a wise detective. The first time I saw the detective, I knew he was smart.

Even smarter than my eldest sister.

Detective...how to divide this gold?"

Shelley gave Pisco a thumbs up, then looked at Luke.

Waiting for the gold to be divided.

Kylena organized the confession documents she had just recorded and placed them on Luke's desk.

Luke picked it up and looked through it. After confirming that everything was signed, he asked Kylena to put it away.

Facing two Shelley and Pisco who were staring at him, Luke snorted: "Is this stolen money? You also want the stolen money."

Shelley said: "Detective, as long as you give it, we dare to take it."

"I'm afraid that if you take it, you will lose your life." Luke warned the two people: "Nearly nine tons of gold, do you know how many big shots are involved? Not only the city of Raging Waves, but also members of the royal family of the imperial capital. If something goes wrong, I will

With the eldest princess protecting you, you have to bear all the anger.

Tell everyone involved in this plan what I say. We are imperial agents, intercepting this gold is for the security of the empire, and keeping the secret is to save your lives."

"Yes, Inspector!" Shelley, Pisco, and Kylena stood at attention and said.

Luke changed his tone and said gently: "Of course, if we all do such a big thing together, the eldest princess will definitely reward us. I will make the decision and give the brothers a bonus first. When the eldest princess's reward comes, we will give another one.

Pen."

"Thank you, Detective!"

"Everyone, go out. Shelley is responsible for receiving the gold. Once the gold is in place, the Lucky Princess will return, and the other three ships will salvage the Clover here. After the imperial tax money is removed, it will be sent back to the Secret Service immediately."

"Yes, Detective."

The three Shelleys left the captain's cabin, and Luke took a sip of the coffee on the table.

It's a little cold, but it has a different flavor.

The amount of this batch of gold is huge, and its disappearance will inevitably cause a huge shock within the ruling class of Raging Wave City.

Raging Waves City can have this special status in the Golden Shield Empire because it has money, and because the new nobles who rule here do not want other interested parties to get involved, and they are very united in external affairs.

Although Qingkong has caused some chaos in Raging Waves City these days, it is only superficial, and Luke does not want to really cause a catastrophic event in the city.

After the Government Affairs Department adapts to the current situation, they will think of Haijiao District again. At that time, they will find that all Haijiao District piers are within the scope of influence of the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau.

The Secret Intelligence Bureau has its own industry and its strength exceeds that of the Haijiao District Public Security Bureau.

For this detective who is not one of our own... should we win over him? Or eliminate the hidden danger?
