The car door opened, and a maid dressed in traditional imperial attire came out.

She saluted Luke: "Thank you for coming. Please get in the car, Inspector."

Luke took one more look at the young and beautiful maid, then handed her his hat and cane, and stepped into the carriage. The maid closed the door and stayed outside with Shelley and Pisco dutifully.

"Hello, Mr. Escolan!" Luke sat opposite Viscount Escolan. After observing the situation outside through the car window, he closed all the curtains.

Viscount Escolan said with a smile: "Inspector Meteor is very careful!"

"It's better to pay attention to professional habits, especially my identity and your identity. I don't know why the Viscount invited me here?"

Iskran knew that Meteor's unnecessary move was actually to remind himself: If we are not familiar with each other, don't talk about excessive things.

So Iskran gave up the prepared rhetoric and asked directly: "Inspector, are you the one who arranged this sudden demonstration?"

Luke did not deny that this was originally a conspiracy, but some people needed to understand its cause.

"It's just taking advantage of the situation... If the City Government Affairs Department hadn't been really incompetent and let Elf Qingkong destroy the Furious Thunder Tower, I would have wanted to launch this parade, but I wouldn't have had the ability.

Did today's incident cause losses to the Viscount?

As long as it's what I can afford, I'm willing to compensate."

Viscount Escolan did not expect that the Meteor Inspector would admit it like this. He couldn't help but admire the courage of this senior imperial agent and was even more looking forward to the outcome of this meeting.

"I can still protect myself in Raging Wave City. The main reason for inviting the detective here this time is... I want to provide you with some clues about the Clover armed airship incident."

Luke laughed, things were getting more and more interesting.

"Lord Viscount, do you have a clue? Great! The airship is too soaked by sea water, and we can't find anything useful on it. If your clue is true, it will really help us a lot."

"It is my duty as an empire citizen to help the Secret Intelligence Service solve cases..." Viscount Iskran made his position clear, and then said: "Inspector, you should know something about the City Council of Raging Waves City, right?

.”

Luke followed along and said: "Since I came to take up the post of the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Cape District of Raging Waves City, I must have read some information about the City Council of Raging Waves City before coming.

The City Council is the highest administrative body of Nutao City and consists of nine members. Three of them are from the industrial and commercial circles, belonging to the capital faction, and are mainly responsible for city finance; three members are from city officials, belonging to the establishment faction, and are mainly responsible for the operation of the city;

The councilors are from the city's magic research institute. They belong to the technical faction and are mainly responsible for technology research and development and application.

The position of speaker is theoretically rotated among the three factions, but in recent years it has been rotating between the technical faction. Compared with the capital faction and the establishment faction, the technical faction has a much lower profile.

This is roughly what I know. Does the clue mentioned by Lord Viscount have anything to do with them?"

Viscount Escolan nodded slightly. What Luke said was something everyone knew. The relationship between the two of them was not suitable for deeper discussion.

"The Inspector is right. You should also realize that Raging Wave City has developed so rapidly in recent years because it has a relatively technical parliament. It is a huge empire internally and connects the entire world externally.

Starting from here, any new technology can create a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

This era of changing every day has made this place a paradise for smuggling, and some council members and city officials are also involved.

According to the information I obtained, when the Clover armed airship crashed, there was not only imperial tax money on it, but also a batch of gold that was several times more than the imperial tax money. This batch of gold was all illegally obtained and was intended to be transported to the imperial capital and turned into legal wealth.

.

Surprisingly...this batch of gold disappeared inexplicably after the Clover armed airship crashed into the sea."

Luke asked: "How did you know about the existence of this batch of gold? You should be a persona non grata to the city council."

Viscount Iskran said: "My family's time in Raging Waves City goes far beyond the city council. It can even be said that we have watched this city grow. Although I didn't know the existence of this batch of gold at first, nor did I know

It was on the Clover, but the disappearance of the gold caused chaos within them, and some news naturally leaked out.

In fact, I don’t need to tell you, I believe the Inspector will hear some rumors in a few days."

Luke said in his heart: My news is earlier than yours.

But the appearance still needs to be put on.

"It seems that this case is more difficult than I thought. It's no wonder that Representative Ibur went to Cape District today to ask me anxiously about this case.

The Viscount invited me here not only to tell me about this matter, but also to hear your views on this case."

Iskran observed Luke's reaction, wanting to see if he was a participant in the case. After all, what he did for Ibel today clearly meant that the two had reached an alliance.

But the Viscount didn't see anything.

Then ask directly: "I want to know first... your purpose in organizing this demonstration today and what deal you made with Ibur."

Luke said truthfully: "Congressman Ibur came to me today and said that someone with a very high status wanted to kill him and asked for my help.

I asked him to persuade the Parliament to allow me to borrow money from the Imperial Bank to build Cape Port and give me the right to operate Cape Port for thirty years.

Representative Ibur said yes, let me bring people here to make trouble, and put pressure on the Government Affairs Office and the Parliament on the grounds that the Nule Tower was destroyed. If Representative Ibur continues to lobby, in order to divert the attention of public opinion, the Government Affairs Office and the Parliament will

Adopt the issue of repairing Cape Port.

So I brought people here..."

Viscount Iscolan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his expression lacked the calmness and demeanor of a nobleman.

"You, you, you organized a demonstration of more than 100,000 people in Raging Waves City, and even stormed the City Government Affairs Office. Just to get the council to agree to build Haijiao Port?"

"Otherwise... this is my request. What Representative Ibur wants to do has nothing to do with me. As the detective of the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau, I just want to use Haijiao Port to improve the lives of urban residents and bring more people to the city.

Have a decent job instead of giving up on yourself in the face of a life of despair.

My expectation for this term of office is to see a clean, safe, and vibrant urban area when I leave office.

Rather than having to read a bunch of crime cases every morning and the forensic autopsy report on the murder body."
