Chapter 233

"What Raven got was a fake clan emblem. The real clan emblem had been stolen by someone else a long time ago, and the one who had the ability to do it happened to be the servant who was responsible for François' daily life during his lifetime."

"Your Highness, please allow me to investigate this person's information."

"Okay, go quickly."

Seeing this, Alsace nodded.

Seeing that Sherlock had made a new discovery, he couldn't wait.

However, after sending information to the Duke of Orleans about the servants around Francois, Shylock got bad information.

François did have a dedicated servant who was responsible for his clothing design and grooming during his lifetime, but that person had already been assassinated before François, and after he was investigated, he went south and boarded a long-distance ship.

When Sherlock inquired about the ship's operation information, he learned that the ship had crashed, and the latest operation happened to be when the servant was transported eastward.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is definitely a conspiracy, and Sherlock is no exception.

But it is difficult to have anything to do with Orson in any case.

If it is because of the issue of who once owned the place where the badge was found, then in addition to Orson, Alsace is also a subject of major suspicion.

In addition, after confirming that Mary's family emblem was authentic, the suspicion of Orson or Antika was cleared.

If we continue to doubt and question him, it will be the police station and the royal family that are making trouble unreasonably.

In desperation, Sherlock could only find Orson again.

"Orson, I have some good news for you."

After opening the door and seeing Orson sitting on a chair drinking coffee, Sherlock spoke.

"Oh? What's the good news?"

"Your suspicion has been lifted for the time being. We went to Antica to have a look. The Tulus family emblem on Lady Mary is indeed still there."

"Then here's the question, isn't this inconsistent with your previous guess?"

Orson took a sip of coffee, then looked up at Sherlock.

There was a bit of smile in his eyes.

"This was an oversight on my part. I forgot the possibility that people close to Duke Francois might be collaborating with the assassins to commit the crime."

"Oh? People around me?"

Sherlock told Orson his reasoning. After hearing this, Orson touched his chin and thought for a while, and then asked:

"So, Miss Charlotte, what kind of person do you think can bribe the people around Francois? Also, if you choose to believe Raven's confession, how will you view Giovanni and the people around him in this matter? What impact does it have?”

"I have an idea about this matter. I wonder if Miss Charlotte would like to hear it."

"It's better not to have to."

summer

Locke shook his head.

"I know you are very smart, Orson, but it is not appropriate for you to tell me your conjecture at this time. Not to mention that it will affect my judgment. If others hear it, they may think that you are trying to distance yourself from the relationship."

"But aren't the results of all cases the same?" Orson said in confusion.

"I'm just giving my speculation. Will a speculation affect the established facts? Isn't the purpose of your case investigation to make the facts public?"

"Moreover, Miss Charlotte, you have always been firm and firmly believed in your own judgment, right?"

Orson said this and stood up.

"Or is it that while you were working here, you have gradually integrated with them and forgotten your true nature?"

Sherlock raised his head and glanced at Orson. She pursed her lips and then shook her head.

"Orson, you can leave."

"Oh well."

Seeing that Sherlock did not respond directly to his question, Orson sighed helplessly, then passed Sherlock and walked out of the room.

Sherlock, on the other hand, lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.

…

No one else was informed of Orson's departure, otherwise it would have caused traffic jams.

In fact, even if this incident had not occurred, Orson would have been released for one day on the day of the graduation ceremony. However, the investigation was too fast, and the suspicion of Orson had been cleared, so he was released like this.

After walking out of the police station, under the watchful eyes of the two guards behind him, Orson stopped a carriage and rushed towards the Imperial Academy.

"Hey, when will this day end?" In the dormitory, Li Te was sitting in the living room, looking up at the chandelier on the roof, bored.

"Orson isn't coming back either. Lena is going back home again, and Lianka and Olivia are also going back."

The thought of Orson still being imprisoned made Leeteuk furious.

"Really, Orson has obviously made so many contributions to the empire, but in the end, they have no mercy at all. It is impossible to think that Orson would assassinate the Duke, let alone assassinate the emperor later. ”

At this time, there was the sound of the doorknob being turned.

"Who is it? Orson is not at home right now. If you want to find him, come back in a few days."

Lite seemed to have gotten used to the frequent visits from his classmates to Orson in the past few days, and was ready to drive them away without looking up.

Then she suddenly thought that those who saw Orson would not just open the door and come in.

Then, she raised her head.

Sure enough, Orson was standing at the door now. He hung his coat on the hanger, and then he noticed Li Te's gaze looking over.

"Hey, Li Te, I'm back."

Lite didn't say anything. She put down the book in her hand, stood up silently, and slowly approached Orson.

Then, when he was less than five meters away from Orson, he used a brutal collision.

"Pfft, hey! Li Te, I know you miss me these days, but there's no need to do this."

However, Leeteuk didn't care about this. She hugged Orson tightly, as if she wanted to weld herself and Orson together.

Then, Orson felt Li Teuk's body trembling slightly in his arms.

"Li Teuk?"

Orson asked in confusion.

I just haven't been back for a while, so why does it feel like Li Teuk is acting like...

puppy?

The kind of puppy that when its owner comes back from work, he happily rushes towards him, wagging his tail.

"That's great...that's great."

Leeteuk repeated these three words.

"What's so good?"

"Orson, they let you go, right?"

"Um."

"Does that mean you're not a bad person, and they really wronged you."

"...So be it."

Orson nodded and answered.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Leeteuk buried his head in his chest again.

Seeing this, Orson patted Li Teuk on the back helplessly.

It seems that she is the one who least wants herself to become bad.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine, Li Te, they framed me, how could I do that?"

He comforted Leeteuk softly.

It seems to be comforting others.

Chapter 44

:filial piety

"Alsace, I told you, right?"

In the palace, Odysseus looked at Alsace in front of him. Today, he was unusually angry at his son.

At this moment, he held a list in his hand.

"If you can't control your men, then disband them all. They will only make food more expensive in this world!"

Alsace lowered his head and remained silent.

The results of the investigation during this period were very unsatisfactory, and there was even the possibility of a boomerang hitting Alsace.

He had given the police the utmost support, even at the expense of destroying the relationship between him and Lucius.

But the result is that nothing was found.

Orson's suspicion was cleared, but other breaches and suspects in the case were either missing or dead, making it impossible to start.

If the investigation continues, the blame can only be summarily pinned on Giovanni and Raven.

This was not the reason why Odysseus rebuked Arthas.

Based on the investigation of Francois's missing servant, Odysseus discovered that Alsace's men had been in contact with that servant just a few months ago.

"Alsace, tell the truth."

Odysseus looked at Alsace, his eyes no longer as kind as usual, but full of confusion and doubt.

"In your heart, the throne is so important. Is it worth it for you to frame your sister for it?"

"Father, why do you say that?"

When Alsace heard these words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at his father as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot.

"Do you think I don't know anything about what you are doing behind your back? Arthas, your father is still an emperor no matter what."

"You wanted to intensify the conflict, framed Elsa, and placed a forged bill in her servant's house. The content on it was for the Orchid Tavern, right?"

"The person who assassinated me, the background check revealed that he was an old subordinate of yours in the army, wasn't he?!"

"Father...you are doing these things..."

"Do you think Elsa is that stupid!?"

"Alsace, I am extremely disappointed with you. I will give you one month to handle things in the army. Starting from next month, you only need to be responsible for the affairs of the Knights. I will leave the rest to you. My sister."

Odysseus' words struck Alsace in the chest like a bolt from the blue. He looked at his father in disbelief, his lips trembling.

After a long time, he gathered up the courage, and then said: "Father, I know you look down on me and think that I am just a warrior with biased methods."

"But if I don't do this, will you give up the throne to me?!"

Alsace asked.

"Before Francois was assassinated! I was the heir to the empire. Elsa was still in school and had no real power. Everyone knew that the next emperor of the empire would definitely be me."

"But why! You clearly know that the family emblem was clearly blamed on me, but why do you still think it's my fault? Someone is clearly framing me secretly and wants to support Elsa to the top. You Can't you see it?"

"Then go and find the person who secretly framed you!"

Odysseus also shouted angrily.

"Didn't I give you a chance to prove your innocence? You arrested Orson and dug up Mrs. Lucius's grave. Aren't these opportunities enough? What did you come up with?"

Hearing this, Arthas clenched his fists, and then his eyes gradually filled with ferocity as he looked at Lucius.

"Father, are you also facing Elsa?"

"What are you talking about?"

"If you think about it carefully, you seem to be really partial to Elsa. After all, she has not graduated from the academy, and you have given her so much power. This is not in line with the rules of the past."

"Because I have seen through you. You are a complete waste. If you sit on the throne of the empire, it will only make the empire more chaotic."
