Chapter 230

After all, this is still a society governed by individuals, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel are often just a decision made by the emperor.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but something happened unexpectedly. Miss Sherlock was surrounded by a crowd. If we didn't provide support, something might happen to her."

"Isn't she a magician? Are you worried that something will happen to her?"

"Because something happened suddenly, so..."

"Okay, okay, brother, now that the matter is over, let's figure out how to settle public opinion first." Elsa came out to be the peacemaker at this time.

After seeing Elsa say this, Owen cast a grateful look at Elsa.

Alsace could only sigh.

"Elsa, what do you think we should do?"

"Of course the person who untied the bell must also tie it."

Elsa shrugged and said so.

"Brother Emperor, what do you think is the reason why the citizens are so angry that they gathered to besiege the police station?"

"Because Orson was caught?"

"Yes, so as long as we let Orson come forward and explain this matter clearly to the people, it will be fine."

Elsa spoke her mind.

When Alsace heard this, he immediately sneered.

"Elsa, do you think that after Orson is under house arrest by us and is suspicious of us, you can ask him to forgive us?"

"Think about it for a moment, if you were Orson, would you forgive a group of people who hurt him?"

"But there's no good solution at the moment, right?"

At this time, Sherlock also ended his routine interrogation of Orson and came here to resume his life.

"I have convinced Orson, and he has promised to mediate the external affairs. I will leave the specific details to you."

"Oh? You can actually convince Orson?" Upon hearing this, Alsace lost his anger and became more interested in Sherlock's persuasion.

"Well, he still takes the overall situation into consideration. In addition, I also hope to apply to the Duchy of Antica for investigation."

"Investigation? What are you going to investigate there?" Elsa was stunned for a moment when she heard Sherlock's words, and then immediately asked.

"Investigating another important member of the Tulus family, Mary, the wife of Lucius, Duke of Antica."

"But isn't Mary already dead? What's there to investigate about a dead person?"

Arthas asked in confusion.

If it was said to be an investigation of Lucius, that would make sense, but it turned out to be an investigation of Mary?

At this time, Elsa pondered for a while, and then she suddenly raised her head and looked at Sherlock as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Are you planning to start with that family crest?"

"Yes." Sherlock nodded.

Hearing Elsa say this, Arthas and Owen also reacted. They looked at Sherlock with shock in their eyes.

It was completely unexpected that Sherlock would start from this aspect.

However, thinking that this was a clue that was more promising to be solved at present, Alsace agreed to ask Odysseus for instructions. As long as Odysseus gave the order, someone would immediately go to Antica to investigate.

…

Not long after, Elsa found Orson again.

"You are really leisurely and elegant. You are still here reading at this time."

Elsa opened the door and looked at Orson's leisurely appearance, and couldn't help but complain.

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Orson asked with a smile.

"Right now, am I just waiting for Her Royal Highness to rescue me?"

When Orson said this, Elsa knew it was a joke. She turned her head away and coughed lightly.

"Stop joking and be serious."

After saying this, she looked at Orson seriously.

"There must be a reason why they invited you here this time, right? Can you tell me something?"

"I think, as the person in charge of the empire's justice, Your Highness, Princess, you should know the reason why I was arrested."

"Of course I know this, but I don't want to listen to their analysis. I want to listen to yours."

"Mine? That means someone is planning to frame me, or is planning to drag me to be buried with him before he dies."

"You mean, the raven?"

"He is Giovanni's subordinate. Will Giovanni tell him anything before he dies? Will he follow it? You can't tell, right?"

"That's right." Elsa sighed after hearing this.

"Well, actually, if only Giovanni

Judging from his confession and Sherlock's inference, he wouldn't have treated you like this. Someone should really be preparing to deal with you, so he suspected that he was guilty and arranged for you. "

"Yes." Orson nodded. "So, Your Highness, did you come to me this time just to talk about these things?"

"Not really." Elsa shook her head. "It's just that you should know that Sherlock is going to Antica to investigate, right?"

"Well, she told me and I agreed."

"Will there be no problems in the middle?"

"Don't worry."

"Okay." Elsa heard the words and asked no more questions.

"Then I'll leave first. I can't let you out yet. This is my father's will. But as long as there are no problems in Sherlock's investigation, you should be able to come out."

When Orson heard this, he didn't express anything and still looked at the book in his hand.

"I hope so."

After a long time, he said this.

Elsa glanced at Orson again, and then left here.

…

The next day came. After yesterday's dispersal incident, more citizens gathered at the door of the police station, and many of them brought sticks and other weapons, as if they were ready to fight against the fully armed guards.

However, it was not the guards who were waiting for them this time.

The door of the police station slowly opened, and Orson walked out.

The citizens quickly recognized Orson.

"It's Lord Orson!"

"Has Lord Orson been released? Our efforts have succeeded!"

"Great! Our blood was not shed in vain!"

"Lord Orson! Can you sign for me later?"

Seeing that the discussion of the citizens outside was getting more and more strange, Orson raised his hand, pressed it down, and signaled everyone to be quiet.

The citizens also gave face and instantly quieted down.

Looking at this scene, Orson cleared his throat and then said:

"Sorry, everyone, I haven't appeared in public these days, which made you worry."

"But please rest assured, I am living a good life now, and I have not suffered inhuman abuse as rumored, nor have I been deprived of my title. Now it's just a very serious case that involves me. I need to stay in the police station as a witness to provide clues, so I will continue to stay in the police station for a while. I hope everyone understands and cooperates with the work of the police station staff."

"That's all I have to say. If there are no other questions, you can disperse."

After speaking, Orson glanced at the citizens around him.

Everyone looked at each other, but finally chose to believe Orson's words. After several people chose to leave first, more and more people joined the queue.

Until the last person left and the street in front of the police station resumed normal operation, Orson returned to the police station.

"Is it okay? The citizens have ended the parade now."

"Yeah." Owen nodded. "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Orson."

"It's okay. I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible so that I can go back earlier."

Orson said this, waved his hand, and then walked towards his residence.

"Please rest assured, time will definitely be fast."

Chapter 41: If you want to investigate, then come (3.4K)

"What the hell, Orson came in person?"

In the dormitory, Lit heard the report brought back by Lianka and was stunned for a moment.

"Yes." Lianka also had a trace of sweat on her forehead.

"I don't know what happened, but according to what the citizens said, it was Orson who came in person to let them disband."

"..."

When Lit heard this, his face suddenly became very ugly.

"There are only two possibilities now, Lianka." Lit looked at Lianka and said this.

"First, Orson was threatened by them, or they promised Orson some benefits, so that Orson was forced to say these words."

"Yeah."

Lianka nodded.

"What about the second one?"

"The second one is that Orson doesn't want to see us do this."

Having said that, Lit paused, and then continued:

"In short, no matter which possibility it is, Orson should have guessed that we are behind this."

"Then... Lit, what are you going to do?"

Just at this moment, the door of the dormitory was knocked.

Liangka went to open the door and found Olivia standing at the door.

"The police station has given in, and we can visit Orson."

"Really?!" Lit heard this and immediately became excited. "It seems that what we did is not ineffective!"

Seeing Lit's reaction, Olivia smiled.

"However, in contrast, the police station has a condition."

"They dare to put forward conditions?"

Lit heard this and immediately felt dissatisfied.

"Even death row prisoners have the right to family visits. The police station did not allow visits before, but now they dare to put forward conditions?"

Liangka was also very unhappy at this time.

"Well, their condition is that after the visit, we should spread the truth about Orson instead of spreading rumors and stirring up dissatisfaction."

As Olivia finished speaking, Litt's heart skipped a beat.

"Wait... so they know what we did?" Lianka, who was beside him, said first.

"Well, it's actually very obvious. After all, people who are close to Orson can easily trace it back to us. Even if it wasn't us, the police station would probably ask us to help, after all, the words of people around us are the most credible."

"Anyway, we can go now, right?"

"Yes."
