Chapter 184

"Hmm..." Chelinina thought for a while, then nodded.

At this moment, a waiter ran in from outside the door.

"Sorry, Miss Chelinina, someone claiming to be your subordinate came to report just now outside the door, saying..." The waiter whispered a few words in Chelinina's ear, and the latter looked at him in shock.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Your subordinate told me. I can't tell the truth. I'm sorry."

Others clearly saw Chelinina's panic. Just as they were about to ask something, Chelinina quickly stood up and walked out of the hotel.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce, who was left standing by Chelinina, was also stunned.

"What's going on...?"

To suddenly leave such an important meeting without even saying hello would make people think of other things.

Chapter 91: Concern leads to chaos

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has agreed to let Mr. Osun stay in your palace temporarily."

At this time, Elsa sent

The guard who went to report to Odysseus also came back, and he respectfully brought back Odysseus' answer.

Elsa nodded with satisfaction.

"I understand, please step back first, and let someone prepare a room for Mr. Orson to live in, otherwise I will have no place to live."

"As ordered." The guard nodded after hearing the words.

"Okay." Elsa said, turning to look at Orson, "Guess when she will come?"

"It shouldn't take long, if she knows the news."

Orson replied casually while sitting on the bed reading a book.

After a few minutes, a maid came in.

"Your Highness Princess, Your Excellency Olivia is asking to see you at the door of the palace."

"Since His Majesty has let her in, why should he stop her?" Elsa said, looking at the maid with a raised brow. "Besides, she is Mr. Orson's fiancée. Do you still need to ask me for an answer on such a matter?"

"Sorry, Your Highness, I was negligent." The maid quickly lowered her head and apologized, then trotted out.

Half a minute later, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

The door was pushed open.

Olivia's figure appeared in front of Orson. She only had a coat on her body, and the clothes underneath were still ordinary clothes at home. It seemed that she rushed over as soon as she heard the news that Orson had woken up, and she didn't even change into anything. Clothes for an audience with the emperor.

She glanced around the room, and immediately saw Orson lying on the bed reading a book.

At this moment, Orson had also put down the book and turned his head to look at Olivia.

"Olivia, are you here?"

Olivia said nothing, walked straight to the bed, squatted down, and looked at Orson distressedly.

"Orson, I heard that you were attacked during the investigation, right..."

"Yeah." Orson nodded, then showed a smile.

"It's okay, Olivia, don't you think I'm fine now?"

As if saying this to reassure Olivia, Orson also patted his chest.

"Now I just need to rest. I can rest for a while and no one will threaten my life here."

"Well, that's best." Olivia felt relieved when she saw that Orson was fine.

But she still felt scared in her heart.

I heard that someone else passed by and saved Orson. If that person hadn't passed by at that time, would Orson have died on the spot?

Olivia didn't dare to think about it. If Orson disappeared, she would definitely not be rational.

In this way, she could also understand why the Duke of Orleans has repeatedly questioned the investigation of the royal family.

"Promise me you won't do such risky things again, okay?"

Olivia adjusted her mood and then spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't do this again."

The two looked at each other like this for a long time, and Olivia suddenly closed her eyes and leaned her head towards Orson's face.

Just when the two were about to touch each other, a clear cough sounded from the side.

"Ahem."

At this time, the two of them realized that they were now in Elsa's room. It was a bit uncomfortable for them to do this.

"Anyway, Olivia, you have seen now that Orson is fine. Can you feel relieved?"

"Well, thank you, Princess, for the rescue." Olivia said a polite word.

However, after being interrupted by Elsa, the originally charming atmosphere between the two disappeared. After chatting for a while, Olivia finally went back first.

…

On the other side, inside the Imperial Academy.

If there is any safe place in Saint Laurent City besides the royal palace? Then Imperial College can definitely be ranked high.

Not to mention the ability of the instructors of the Imperial Academy, the security guard watching the door can make ordinary invading enemies drink a pot of wine.

At this moment, Lena's dormitory is next door to Orson's dormitory.

Late at night, Lena jumped out of the woods nearby, and then walked quietly towards her room.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Lena felt something was wrong, and then, as expected, she was picked up by a pair of hands by the back of her neck.

"Hey! Let me go, I'm going to hit people when I'm fierce!" Lena said with bared teeth.

"and you

Just tell me what you did all day today. "Lianka's cold voice came from behind.

"Orson entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you, but you ran away. How can I explain this to Orson?"

"I...I have something to do, can't I!" Lena said, fluttering a few times and breaking away from Lianka, then turned around and looked at her.

"Besides, I have already asked for leave from the teacher, and the leave note has been approved for me. I can't go out yet."

"But it's very dangerous outside now." Lianka said quickly. "Although you are very powerful, you have little combat experience."

"Then I'm fine now..." Lena muttered softly.

"Um?"

"No, no, I mean, thank you Sister Lianka for your concern. I will definitely inform you about the itinerary next time, Sister Lianka."

"Yes." Lianka nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll go back first. You can rest early. There are still classes tomorrow."

Although the order in Saint Laurent City has become chaotic, the Imperial Academy still maintains normal teaching order, which is very commendable.

"Okay~ I'll rest first~" Lena said, yawned, and then walked upstairs.

Lianka looked at Lena's back and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, she lowered her head and saw the shoes Lena had changed after entering the door.

There was a lot of mud on the heels of a pair of brown boots.

"That's weird, is Lena going on an outing?" Lianka muttered to herself in confusion, and then left.

…

On the other side, Chelinina returned to her office.

She went to the palace, but was stopped because she was not a noble.

She couldn't apply for permission to enter the palace from the emperor for a while, so Chelinina just stood there and worried, so she returned to her chamber of commerce office.

"Lorenzo, help me contact all the mercenary groups I can contact, and search the woods outside the city to see if I can find any trace of the man who injured Orson."

"With all due respect, President." Lorenzo stood up and stopped Chelinina at this time. "As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Since Mr. Osun has nothing to do now, we don't have to be so anxious. The top priority should be to handle our own affairs well. President, you'd better rush back to attend the business meeting. I I’ll take care of this for you.”

"...No, Lorenzo, I want to handle this matter myself." Chelinina said this, rejecting Lorenzo's proposal. "Anyway, please help me contact the mercenary group first. Even if they are of no use here, Orson will always be able to use them."

Chapter 92: Key clues

"It's very strange. It's clear that the other party has fought against Mr. Osun, but apart from the traces of the battle at the scene, there are no traces of enemy activities around." Late at night, after the search team outside the city came back, they reported that Osun had been attacked. The investigation report of the surrounding situation was given to the high-ranking knight Owen. As an eighth-level knight, he was also the general person in charge of the security of Saint Laurent City.

Of course, he was promoted not long ago. Due to the Duke's assassination, the former Chief Sheriff Langdon had been dismissed from his post for investigation. Irving was appointed at the critical moment and followed the royal orders to strengthen the security of Saint Laurent City.

But what happened afterwards continued to undermine Owen's confidence. Not only did the investigation of the case make no progress, but a noble was still assassinated in the city of Saint Laurent. Although the assassination took place outside the city, and Orson took the initiative to chase him out, the reason was... It was because the Sheriff failed in his duty and allowed suspicious persons to enter Saint Laurent City.

But in the final analysis, this matter is not something that an ordinary police officer can handle.

Although these vigilantes generally have a strength of level five or above, and they also have a group of guards under them, which is enough to guard the city's security on weekdays, the strength of the enemy this time has not yet been discovered. According to intelligence analysis, at least The level of the eighth level.

If an enemy of this level wants to sneak into the city without telling the police, how can others guard against it?

Although Owen is very powerful, he does not have a clone, so it is impossible to be at every city gate all the time.

Not to mention that others can climb over walls and use tunnels.

In this case, generally only the magician's detection barrier can work. This kind of magic can set up a barrier in a defined area, and the magician will be sensed through the barrier.

However, the city of Saint Laurent is too big. If you can find a magician who can release magic with a range that covers the entire city of Saint Laurent, then the other party will definitely be able to find out the mastermind easily.

Therefore, unless the economic activities of Saint Laurent City are completely stopped and everyone is prohibited from entering and exiting, we will try to secretly

Only by arresting suspects entering and exiting the city can we restrict their activities.

"Sorry..." The guard who delivered the information lowered his head.

"But the intelligence we have on the scene is very limited. Even if we call the magicians, they only said that only Mr. Osen used magic during the battle, and there is no way to locate the opponent's traces through the use of magic."

"Okay." Owen nodded. "Then there's nothing I can do. I can only go look for witnesses."

With that said, Owen left the office and came to the temporary room in the main security station for people who were inconvenient to leave.

Owen stood in front of the door, straightened his collar, and then knocked lightly on the door.

The door was not soundproof, and Owen soon heard footsteps coming from inside, and then the door was opened from the inside.

"Miss Sherlock, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Owen first apologized politely, and then explained his purpose.

"Do you have any specific evidence about the suspect who returned to the Orchid Tavern today?"

Sherlock looked at Owen and shook his head.

"No, didn't I say it all? The man was wearing a black suit. I was following Orson at the time, and before I could see him for a few seconds, he jumped out of the window and left, and then Orson followed him out."

"Wait a minute, repeat it." Owen only reacted at this time.

"Uh..." Sherlock looked at Owen's reaction, although he was a little confused, but he still repeated it.

"You just said... the other party jumped out of the window, right?"

"Yeah." Sherlock nodded.

"According to the report from the magician, there was no sign of the other party using magic at the scene where Mr. Orson was attacked. Considering his experience of jumping out of the window to escape, what can you infer as a detective, Miss Sherlock?"

"Wait! What did you just say? Orson was attacked? He...he was also killed?" Sherlock asked in disbelief.

She thought that Orson would not encounter any problems in chasing him out during the day, but she was told that Orson was dead at night?

Then he was a little blessed.

Owen looked at Sherlock's surprised reaction, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.

"No, Mr. Orson was just injured. If he was also killed, it would not be me standing here talking to you, but someone else."

"Anyway, continuing the topic just now, what can you infer?"

"The other party does not know magic?" Sherlock tilted his head and said tentatively.

"That's right!" Owen said, clapping his hands. "So how did someone who doesn't know magic sneak into Saint Laurent without anyone noticing?"
