    May 4, 2999 in the miraculous calendar.  ¡û The Kingdom of Vidocq, the second largest country after the Free Federation, is currently located in its north, in a city called Munich, where a rather grand banquet is going on.  Looking at the brightly lit banquet hall, Shirley just wanted to curse at this moment. Knowing that the Hollow murder case had caused a lot of noise recently, these nobles actually held such a grand banquet with great fanfare.  However, complaints are complaints, and Shirley has not forgotten her own job. As one of the investigators investigating this case, she arrived at the venue three hours in advance and personally arranged security work everywhere to ensure that no suspicious persons would be allowed to pass by.  people infiltrated into this party.  The banquet was held at the residence of Archduke Stella, a powerful figure in the Kingdom of Vidocq. This magnificent fortress itself had the ability to resist war.  In addition, the people attending this banquet are all top-notch figures in the Free Federation. Therefore, in addition to the experts at the Grand Duke Stella's residence, there are also troops directly under the Free Federation stationed in the dark for security work.  "Miss Shirley!" Just as Shirley was busy checking various sentries, a voice suddenly came from not far behind her, and she saw Sulu, the general directly under the Federal Parliament, walking towards her.  "Sir Sulu!" Shirley had a pretty good impression of this federal official, and she greeted him immediately after meeting him.  "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Shirley." "Sir, you are speaking too harshly. I was just fulfilling my duties." Shirley said lightly.  Sulu stood next to Shirley, also looking in the direction of the banquet hall, and said in a deep voice: "The Hollow Murder Case has occurred so far. More than 200 people, including 38 nobles, have died. But so far we don't even know who the murderer is.  No one knows. I received news from the federation today that if we cannot catch the murderer within the next month, we will face serious consequences. " "" Shirley remained silent, Su.  She didn't know what Lu was saying, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach Ruan Chi in the first place.  ¡°I believe you have heard about the purpose of tonight¡¯s banquet, right?¡± Sulu suddenly asked.  Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This banquet was hosted by Grand Duke Stella himself. Could it be that there is another purpose?" Sulu smiled slightly and said: "Of course there is a purpose. Grand Duke Stella did it for  Lure the snake out of the hole and let the murderer fall into the trap. "What?" Shirley was surprised at first, then frowned and said, "Isn't it too dangerous? The murderer killed so many nobles. What if Grand Duke Stella does something?"  An accident" "Captain Shirley, don't underestimate Archduke Stella. When he was young, he was the most famous cavalry of our human race in recent years, the founder of the 'Spartan Horn'!  Bada's Corner?" Hearing this, Shirley's delicate body trembled, and she was obviously more surprised than before.  Spartan Corner.  There are rumors that it is a victorious force that has only emerged from the human race in the past fifty years.  This army was specially created to prepare for the upcoming Fourth Battle of the Throne.  Its training methods are a hundred times more cruel than hell. Every soldier who can stand out from the training has amazing combat effectiveness.  Fifty years ago, when this army was established, it participated in the territorial battle with the orcs in the north and the southern border battle with the dwarves.  Those two wars ended with the Horn of Sparta killing tens of thousands of enemy generals, pushing the human territory 300 kilometers north, and obtaining a precious mithril mine in the south. The curtain came to an end.  What¡¯s even more terrifying is that it is said that there were only 300 Spartan Horn soldiers who participated in the two wars at that time. With their overwhelming combat capabilities and excellent command, they defeated tens of thousands of orcs and dwarves.  Those two victorious battles were included in the classic teaching battle materials of the modern history of the human race and became a model for modern military teaching materials of the human race.  Shirley did not expect that the person who founded this ever-victorious army was actually the now-famous Archduke Stella, the number two figure in the Free Federation.     Yes.  Since Tian Longzi of the Tianlong Empire ascended to the position of Prime Minister of the Federation, the status of the Stella family has also increased. Now it is the family with the most seats in the Federal Parliament. Therefore, the status of Grand Duke Stella can be said to be second only to the new appointment.  Federal Prime Minister, His Majesty Tian Longzi.  Even in some areas, the influence of Archduke Stella will be greater than that of Tian Longzi who just took office.  Such a powerful person actually set up this banquet to lure the snake out of his hole in order to catch the murderer of a serial murder case?Shirley couldn't believe it when she heard it.  "Half a month ago, a hollow murder case occurred in the Kingdom of Ganmoxi. The deceased seemed to be a subordinate of Archduke Stella." As if seeing Shirley's doubts, Sulu further explained.  "That Earl Seleucid?" Shirley suddenly realized upon hearing this. It seemed that this Grand Duke Stella was planning to avenge his former subordinates.  "I heard that in order to deal with the murderer this time, Archduke Stella called several elites from the 'Spartan Horn', although the second generation of the 'Spartan Horn' has not experienced the baptism of war.  , but their actual combat capabilities are said to be very terrifying. In addition to their lack of combat experience, it is estimated that each of them has a single combat capability of early to mid-King level." Shirley took a breath after hearing this.  Early king level, middle king level?  People with this kind of strength are already qualified to become a prince or the chief swordsman knight of a certain country. I didn't expect that the legendary Horn of Sparta would be so powerful.  "However, with such a large battle formation, is it possible that the murderer fell into the trap?" Shirley said with some melancholy.  "We don't know yet whether we will fall into the trap, but according to the information we have collected now, the chance of the murderer appearing tonight is at least 70%." Sulu said with confidence.  "Why are you so confident, sir?" Shirley asked in astonishment.  "No, it's not us who have confidence, but the murderer." Sulu said meaningfully: "Based on the murderer's past methods and habits of committing crimes. He is a guy who is very confident in himself. Every time he takes action, he will not choose to be fixed at all.  The time, place and characters seem to have been killed more than ten days ago in the Kingdom of Augustus. The Marquis of Baccarat and his family were killed. At that time, the Marquis of Baccarat was protected by the Level A 'Snake-hating' adventure group. As a result, the murderers were still the same.  The Marquis of Baccarat and his family were killed. As for the members of the 'Snake-Hate', a total of twenty people, including the leader with early-stage king-level strength, were also killed. "'Snake-Hate'?"  The whole team was unable to stop the murderer?" Since the Kingdom of Augustus was not the area of ??investigation that Shirley was in charge of, she did not understand the process of the crime after the incident. She never expected that even "Snake Hate" was so famous.  All members of the adventure group were killed.  In fact, the murderer has committed so many crimes, not to mention Shirley, but also the entire Free Federation.  No one knows the specific strength of the murderer.  No, I should say.  No one knows how many murderers there are, whether he is a man or a woman, or what race he is.  "Based on the case in the August Kingdom, we can probably make an assumption. If the murderer is one person, his approximate strength can at least reach the peak of the king level, maybe even the god level. If it is a group crime, then among them,  There are at least twenty people, and the average strength is at least master level, or even higher. " "If the murderer is really that powerful, our security work may not be enough tonight," Shirley gritted her teeth.  "Don't worry, Archduke Stella has thought more carefully than us in this regard. In addition to the few elites mobilized from the 'Spartan Corner', the master beside Archduke Stella has also come over." "  Sir, is the master you are referring to a god-level mage known as the 'Sage of Storms'?" Shirley said in shock again.  "It is the legendary magician. I heard that his strength has reached the late stage of god level. Like the Fudo Emperor Tang Shide, the boss of the Bloody Hand Knights, he is a super strong man who is very close to the legendary level." Shelly  At this moment, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. I didn't expect that so many big shots would be mobilized for such a murder case.  It seems that the death of Grand Duke Stella¡¯s old subordinate caused great anger to Grand Duke Stella.  "With the 'Horn of Sparta' and the 'Holy of the Storm' in charge, we are probably just serving as foils for tonight's scene of luring the snake out of its hole. We just don't know if the protagonist will show up." Sulu's eyes narrowed.  He drew a straight line and stared in the direction of the banquet hall.  In fact, from Sulu¡¯s point of view, he does not want the murderer to appear. Therefore, according to the situation laid out tonight, even if the murderer really has god-level strength, he may never come back.  Once the murderer is killed or caught tonight, it means that all the efforts of these people in the past month have been in vain. As the commander of the investigation team for this hollow murder case, Sulu will also bear the taint of inaction.  name.  It will have a very bad impact on his future career.  Shirley didn¡¯t know Sulu¡¯s mood, because at this moment, she was thinking about how to compete for a role that could attract attention in this upcoming drama.  She was very unwilling to do so. She had been sleeping and forgetting to eat and sleep for a long time because of this case.??When the murderer comes to justice tonight, all her efforts will be in vain.  It¡¯s also very contradictory to say that Shirley initially became a captain of Fortinchel¡¯s guard, just to prove that he, like ordinary men, could take on the responsibility of protecting his family and country.  But later, she realized that it was ridiculous for her to do this, because no matter how hard she worked, her credit would be taken away, and her light would become dimmed due to various reasons.  "Lord Sulu." Shirley was lost in thought when a guard walked up to the general of the Federal Council who was directly beside her.  "Is there something wrong?" "Mrs. Isabella, the lord of Aden City, would like to ask you to meet." Shirley noticed that when the guard said this, Sulu's expression became extremely strange.  After thinking for a while, he slowly replied to the guard.  "Tell Mrs. Isabella that I will go see her in a moment." "Yes." After the guard took the order to leave, Sulu turned to Shirley and said, "Tonight's plan is planned by Grand Duke Stella.  We have full authority to make arrangements, but we still need to keep a close eye on the security of the banquet. "Don't worry, sir, I won't let go," Shirley said solemnly.  Sulu nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.  Looking at the direction Sulu left.  It took a long time for Shirley to look back.  She first walked to a deserted corner.  Then he took out a parchment scroll from his arms.  Shirley tore off the scroll without hesitation, and a faint purple flame flashed away. After confirming that no one was around, Shirley straightened her collar and walked towards the banquet hall.  Since the host of this banquet tonight is Archduke Stella, all those invited tonight are the highest-ranking nobles in the federation.  "These people seem to have great trust in Archduke Stella's ability.  Even though they knew that tonight's banquet would probably attract the terrible Hollow Murderer, they still came as promised.  Of course, the purpose of these people coming to the banquet is not simple either. As the second most popular figure in the Free Federation, how many people are trying to get a glimpse of this big shot through this banquet.  Although it is somewhat dangerous, it is worth it no matter what.  ¡°Besides, the noble Grand Duke Stella is not afraid anymore, so what else are they afraid of?  Shirley¡¯s father, Devin, the city guard of Fortinchel City, also wanted to attend the banquet.  But his title was too low and he was not considered an invitation at all.     to this end.  Before setting off, Devin specifically told his daughter to find a way to talk to Archduke Stella no matter what.  Although Shirley felt that it was not good to use her position for personal affairs like this, when she thought of her father's pleading eyes, she still went to the banquet hall to see if there was any chance to get in touch with this legendary big shot.  However, Shirley was doomed to be disappointed, because from the moment she stepped into the banquet hall, she kept walking among the crowd, but she couldn't find the Archduke Stella.  Later, Shirley learned that the banquet hall was divided into two parts, namely the front hall and the back hall.  The front hall is used to greet nobles with the titles of marquis and earl from the federal countries, while the back hall is used to greet dukes and royal guests.  Although Shirley is one of the main persons in charge of this case, she has no way to enter the back hall. The only person who can enter the back hall is probably her immediate boss Sulu.  In desperation, Shirley had no choice but to leave the banquet hall, but at this moment, Shirley saw a group of people filing into the back hall through a side door.  Shirley frowned, because the way these people were dressed did not look like royal nobles who were qualified to enter the back hall.  Out of curiosity, Shirley walked up to a soldier guarding the door of the back hall and asked: "Brother, who were those people just now? Why can they enter the back hall?" The soldiers guarding the back hall were all Stella  When the Grand Duke's direct bodyguard heard Shirley's question, he looked straight at it and said, "That's the circus responsible for performing the show for the distinguished guests tonight. Is there any problem?" "No problem, I'm just curious." Listen.  When it came to the circus, Shirley didn't feel strange at the moment. After all, it was normal for nobles to invite some performance groups such as the circus to perform when they held banquets.  However, although Shirley was relieved, for safety reasons, she asked again: "Have the backgrounds of those circuses been investigated? Have they been checked before coming?" The soldier saw Shirley's dress and knew that she was also  One of the people involved in the security work did not hide anything and explained: "We have checked in detail and they are the King of ShinraThere is a well-known circus over there with a clean background, and the members of the circus are all children of the curse and will not pose a threat.  " "The cursed child?  " Hearing this, Shirley was surprised but completely relieved. As we all know, the children of the curse not only have a short life span and are disabled, but they are also unable to practice martial arts and magic, so they do not pose any threat. " The murderer is ruled out.  With the possibility hidden in the circus, Shirley left with confidence At the same time, in the dream town thousands of kilometers away, Ruan Chi had just finished taking a shower, put on clean pajamas, and was humming a song and getting ready.  As he walked into the room, a purple flame suddenly appeared from a backpack hanging on the wall, but it caught Ruan Chi¡¯s attention. ¡°Why are you looking for me at this time?  Ruan Chi muttered, then walked over and took off his backpack, and took out a light yellow sheepskin scroll. When he took it out, there were purple flames beating on the surface. The scroll was given by Shirley when they were parted.  It is a magic item that can be used to leave books in distant places. The price is not cheap. Ruan Chi opened the scroll, and a line of text quickly appeared on the originally empty scroll. The content of the text was very simple, which was Ruan Chi.  Immediately set off for the Grand Duke Stella¡¯s residence in Munich, the Kingdom of Vidocq. The person signing the contract is naturally Shirley. ¡°Isn¡¯t this young lady very good at choosing time?  Damn, people are on their way in the middle of the night!  " Complaints are complaints, but Ruan Chi is also a person who has a beginning and an end. After putting away the scroll, Ruan Chi knocked on the door. Rachel, wearing a sexy pajamas, was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her golden hair. She saw  Ruan Chi came in, her pretty face flushed, and she said a little shyly: "I must declare in advance that I will only wear such shameful clothes once, and I won't do it again.  "Through the thin pajamas, looking at the two huge and tall peaks on Rachel's chest, Ruan Chi secretly swallowed his saliva and cried out at the same time. In order to let the shy and elf swordswoman wear this  Pajamas, it took a lot of effort for him to succeed. He wanted to give out benefits to readers tonight, but now he has to leave. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?  "Seeing Ruan Chi standing at the door without speaking, Rachel seemed to realize something. "I have something to do and I have to leave tonight.  Ruan Chi sighed and said, changing out of the pajamas he was wearing. "Oh, how long will it take to go this time?"  "As for Ruan Chi leaving from time to time, the elf swordswoman seemed to be used to it, so she just asked calmly. Ruan Chi didn't know whether to be happy or sad now, because Rachel's attitude made him feel very unhappy.  "Can't you say something to save me?  " Holding the elf swordswoman's delicate body from behind, her hands climbed up to the pair of breasts through the sexy pajamas, and grabbed a handful of them with force like a prank. " Rachel was in pain and slapped away Ruan Chi's mischief.  Hand, said angrily: "Anyway, you will come back every time you leave, what can I do to keep you?  " "" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
