    Although Shirley hoped that Ruan Chi could rush there as soon as possible, the distance from the Dreamland Plain where the Dreamland Town is located to the Victor Kingdom was almost three thousand kilometers. Even if Ruan Chi took An Peiqi with him and used his mental power to jump, it would not be possible.  It's possible to cross that long distance in one breath.  šI Therefore, when Ruan Chi arrived at the gate of Grand Duke Stella¡¯s residence, it was already dawn and the banquet had ended long ago. However, what surprised Ruan Chi was that something seemed to have happened at Grand Duke Stella¡¯s residence. People gathered outside  There were a large number of soldiers, all standing ready, and it felt like a storm was coming.  Ruan Chi asked An Peiqi to spread her spiritual power, successfully found Shirley, and connected An Peiqi's spiritual power to her body.  Shirley was standing in the back hall where the banquet was held with a frosty face, but she couldn't be happy at all at this time. She saw more than a dozen corpses lying on the floor of this gorgeous hall.  "They still succeeded." When she heard screams coming from the back hall last night, Shirley led people to rush in immediately, but she still allowed the murderer to escape.  Looking at the corpses on the ground, an angry Shirley punched the wall next to her, making a dull sound.  At this time, Sulu came in with a group of people and covered the corpses on the ground with white cloth one by one. Seeing where Shirley was standing, he walked over and said, "Captain Shirley." "Master Sulu." Sulu arrived  Beside Shirley, her eyes fell on a wall in the back hall. There was a huge hole there, and half of the wall collapsed.  Last night, after the murderer committed the murder.  That's how he broke open the wall and escaped.  "It's such a pity. I didn't expect that we were still one move away from each other." Shirley said harshly.  "Although the murderer was not found, last night was the only time the murderer failed. He did not kill all the nobles present, and his identity was naturally exposed. Moreover, some of them were caught by us." Sulu said.  Thinking of the identity of the murderer last night, Shirley still feels incredible. Recalling the look in the girl's eyes when she captured one of those people alive last night, Shirley couldn't help but shudder.  "Thatis she willing to say it?" Shirley asked.  "You have a tough mouth. After interrogating her all night, there was no result. However, our direct subordinates in the Federal Council are very skilled in torture. I believe we can get her to let go as soon as tonight." Sulu said with a cold light flashing in his eyes.  When Shirley heard this, she also felt that it made sense. As long as the girl from last night told where their base camp was, then this hollow murder case that spanned almost the entire Free Federation would come to an end.  "Master Sulu, so you are here!" A man with short dark gray hair suddenly walked in from outside. This man had bright eyes and bronzed skin.  He has a strong body and moves with grace.  His name is Gabrielda.  He was one of the three elite generals specially recruited by Archduke Stella from the Corner of Sparta.  "What's the matter? General Gabrielda!" The opponent was a fierce general of the human army. Sulu naturally did not dare to neglect and went up to meet him personally.  Shirley also followed closely behind Sulu.  "Haha, it's not that everything is a big deal, but the investigation report on the circus came out last night, and I brought it to you specially." Gabrielda said with a hearty smile.  Sulu found out that Gabrielda handed over a thick report. He opened one of the pages and took a look. Sure enough, there was a lot of information written densely on it.  "The name of this circus is called Dream Circus. The leader is a guy named Hannibal Durrant. He is a human, 44 years old, but his nationality is unknown. In his early days, he was a very famous philanthropist.  He adopted many cursed children who were murdered. Later, he founded the Dream Circus and traveled around the country with these cursed children all the year round. Every time he performed in the local area, he earned living expenses.  The group is also quite famous among the people" Gabrielda explained to Sulu, Shirley stood next to Sulu and listened with her ears pricked up.  "The Cursed Child?" After Sulu closed the report, his face was covered with a haze.  "General Gabrielda, aren't the Cursed Sons unable to practice martial arts? What happened to those Cursed Sons last night?" Shirley couldn't help but ask.  The murderer who killed those nobles last night was the circus that entered the back hall to perform. At that time, all the nobles in the back hall, including Grand Duke Stella, were concentrating on enjoying the circus performance, but when the performance reached its climax.  At that moment, the performers on the stage, two sons of the curse, suddenly rose up and instantly killed the two nobles sitting in front.  Grand Duke StellaBecause they were protected by the god-level magicians known as the Saints of Storms, they survived, but other nobles were not so lucky. The bodyguards they brought were no match for the two Cursed Sons.  He was knocked down almost immediately upon meeting him.  But what¡¯s even worse is that there were more than a dozen people in the circus who entered the back hall at that time, including the circus leader Hannibal Durrant. These people all have extraordinary skills and their fighting power is astonishingly high.  If it weren¡¯t for the presence of the Saint of Storms and several elite generals from the Horn of Sparta at that time, I¡¯m afraid the consequences would have been unimaginable.  However, despite this, when Shirley and others in the front hall came with soldiers, Hannibal Durrant had already escaped with his Children of the Curse.  The only one who was caught was a young girl who was captured alive by the Saint of Storm himself.  Shirley still doesn¡¯t understand why the legendary Cursed Son, who is unable to practice martial arts and magic, is so powerful. Judging from the combat effectiveness they showed last night, the strength of each of them is almost close to the king level.  Hearing Shirley's question, Gabrielda, who had personally fought against those cursed children, also showed a puzzled look, shook her head and said: "We don't know the specific reason yet, but we can be very sure that these curses  The fact that his son has such powerful martial arts and magic is probably inseparable from the leader of the Dream Circus, Hannibal Durrant. "Yes, the focus of our next investigation must be on this person."  Sulu nodded in agreement.  "At that time, we just need to follow the clues. It shouldn't be difficult to catch all the members of this dream circus." Gabrielda smiled.  "By the way. How is Grand Duke Stella's injury?" Sulu suddenly changed the subject and asked.  When Shirley heard this, she couldn't help but look nervous.  Last night, although there was a strong person to protect him, the target that the other party attacked at the beginning was none other than Grand Duke Stella himself. Therefore, when measures were not taken, Grand Duke Stella was hit in the chest by the opponent.  If the Saint of Storm sitting next to him had not stopped him in time, Archduke Stella might have died on the spot.  Thinking of how Archduke Stella was almost killed last night.  Shirley couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.  Although the banquet that lured the snake out of the cave was hosted by Grand Duke Stella, if Grand Duke Stella was really killed, then they, the members of the investigation team responsible for this hollow murder, would probably suffer.  Therefore, when Sulu suddenly asked this question, Shirley naturally pricked up her ears and looked at Gabrielda nervously.  Fortunately, Gabrielda quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, you two. Although the old general is a bit older, his strength was no worse than ours when he was young. Although he suffered a fatal blow from the enemy at that time. But in the storm,  She has improved a lot under the treatment of Saint and is now resting in the bedroom. "Gabrida was born in the military.  Archduke Stella is usually called the old general.  Hearing Gabrielda¡¯s words, Sulu and Shirley naturally breathed a sigh of relief.  ¡­ After working for a long time, Shirley dragged her exhausted body out of Grand Duke Stella¡¯s residence.  Although the murderer is now known, Hannibal Durrant, the main culprit, and most of the people in the Dream Circus have not been caught yet, so in the next period of time, Shirley and the members of the investigation team will  Stay in Munich for a while.  "One day, I will catch these." Shirley secretly made up her mind and was about to go back to her temporary hotel to rest, but at this time, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind.  Shirley thought she heard it wrong at first, until the voice said: "I'm Ruan Chi. Try talking in your heart, I can hear you." Shirley was doubtful and followed Ruan Chi's prompts to communicate with him in her mind.  , "How's it going? Can you hear me?" "Yes, I heard it. You immediately walk forward five hundred meters and enter the alley on the left. You can see me after walking about two hundred meters further."  Upon hearing this, Li knew that Ruan Chi must have arrived in Munich. Although she didn't understand why he arrived so quickly, Shirley was still very happy.  Following Ruan Chi¡¯s instructions, Shirley quickly walked into the uninhabited alley. After crossing the alley, she saw Ruan Chi sitting in an open space, with two maids staying behind him.  "Hi, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Ruan Chi waved to Shirley and then stood up from the ground.  "I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. How could you arrive so soon? Also, what's the matter with the voice that just appeared in my head?" Shirley stepped forward and asked with a puzzled expression.  "These are all her abilities. It's difficult to explain to you." Ruan Chi pointed at An Peiqi beside him and said.    Shirley glanced at An Peiqi, then held her forehead and said: "Forget it, I won't tell you those messy things, let's talk about business." Shirley immediately put on a serious expression and said: "Last night  , someone attempted to assassinate Archduke Stella. Although it failed, many nobles died, but we also gained something, that is, we already know who the murderer is" "Oh, I know all this, Shirley hasn't finished talking yet.  Ruan Chi on the side interrupted, "What, you know?  "Shirley looked at Ruan Chi a little confused and didn't understand what he knew. "The murderer was an organization called Dream Circus, and the leader of the organization was a guy named Hannibal Durrant, right?  Ruan Chi smiled. "How do you know?"  " Shirley was shocked, because she only knew about this information just now, and Sulu also ordered her not to say anything. But now, Ruan Chi has told the confidential information word for word. "Anyway, I already know, you can tell me the details.  Don't care anymore.  " Ruan Chi waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone. "In fact, when they were standing outside the Grand Duke Stella's residence just now, Ruan Chi asked An Peiqi to use mental sweep to locate Shirley's location, and then talked with them  How did Shirley know that Ruan Chi had such a method? She was surprised and glad that Ruan Chi was the helper she had found. Although she heard what Ruan Chi said.  She was a little unhappy, but Shirley gave up questioning and said instead: "You actually already know what's going on. Is there any way you can help me find the murderer?  " "To be honest, if I had been there last night, the murderer would have had no chance to escape. Even if he ran away, it would be very easy for me to find them.  Ruan Chi said. "Really?"  Shirley was happy at first, and then said in disappointment: "It's a pity that you weren't here last night. What's the use of talking about it now."  " "Not necessarily. Maybe we are lucky and can get some clues that others can't, such as the girl with the cursed child you are holding.  " Ruan Chi suddenly pointed out something. Seeing that Ruan Chi even knew that they caught a member of the Dream Circus last night, Shirley was even more shocked, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm and said: "We have indeed caught a murderer.  , but her mouth was very tough. People from the troops directly under the Federal Parliament were already interrogating her, but they still couldn't get any valuable information out of her for the time being.  " "Don't worry, just because they can't ask, it doesn't mean I can't ask.  " "Are you going to torture that girl?  " Shirley looked at Ruan Chi. Although she didn't believe that Ruan Chi could pry open the mouth of the cursed girl, his expression and tone didn't sound like a joke at all. Shirley couldn't help but feel a little moved.  Feeling moved, Shirley continued hesitantly: "It's justit might be a little difficult for you to torture her. That girl is now locked up in the city guard's prison, guarded by Archduke Stella's personal guards.  Those of us in the investigation team need to be checked when entering. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to sneak in.  " Hearing what Shirley said, Ruan Chi curled his lips and said, "What, you can't even take me to see a prisoner?  How can I help you?  " Shirley's face twitched, but she couldn't refute what Ruan Chi said. Indeed, she was not even qualified to see the prisoner, so how could she let Ruan Chi help her. "Okay, since you said there is a way to make that girl speak.  , I will try to take you to introduce someone.  "In order to capture Hannibal Durrant, the mastermind behind the scenes, Shirley decided to fight. The person Shirley took Ruan Chi to introduce was naturally Sulu. He was a general directly under the Federal Parliament, and it was another case of the Hollow Murder Case.  Only through his relationship could the commander of the investigation team be qualified to let Ruan Chi, an "adventurer", enter the prison where the Cursed Child girl was imprisoned. Sulu was still staying in Grand Duke Stella's mansion at this time.  After Shirley took Ruan Chi in, she happened to meet him walking out of Grand Duke Stella's room. Shirley was about to introduce him. However, at this time, Ruan Chi, who had been following him, suddenly pointed at Sulu and shouted: "Hey.  , uncle, why is it you?  " Sulu also looked surprised, his expression changed several times, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect you to show up here?  " Seeing the two people who knew each other, for some reason, Shirley suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
