"Um?"
Hearing
this, even General Long Wei couldn't help but frown.
The
palace law enforcement team is never dispatched easily, but once they are
called upon, it is basically an earth-shattering event.
The
question is, is a mere legitimate son of the Duncan family qualified to be
looked upon by the young prince in this way?
"General,
are you sure that the royal palace law enforcement team has really been
dispatched? And is it because of Zhengjun Duncan?" General Long Wei asked
back.
"Of
course it's true!"
The
city guard commander said with a serious face: "The higher-ups have just
issued an order that the captain of the palace law enforcement team will
temporarily take over my position as commander. Now the city defense affairs,
including public security investigations, are under the full control of the law
enforcement team!"
"Strange,
why would the young prince make such a fuss for such a small role?"
General Long Wei was a little surprised and doubtful.
According
to his investigation, this was the first time the two parties met. Even if
there was any collusion of interests before, it would not be to the extent of
dispatching law enforcement teams.
It
seems that he still underestimated Zhengjun Duncan's importance in the eyes of
the young prince.
"General,
it seems that the young prince is serious this time. What countermeasures do
you have?" the city guard general asked tentatively.
Now
the power in his hands has been completely transferred away, and he cannot mobilize
any troops in a short period of time.
This
inevitably made him a little nervous.
“There’s
no need for any countermeasures. Just pretend that this incident never
happened. We have already erased all traces. Even the law enforcement team
won’t be able to find us.” General Long Wei said calmly.
He
had anticipated situations like this, and the assassins he sent out were all
nameless and unidentified people, so no information could be found at all.
In
addition, all traces of what happened last night have been cleaned up several
times, and there are no flaws at all.
Zhengjun
Duncan's body had also been burned to ashes by the fire, leaving him with no
evidence.
Even
if the young prince had doubts, even if the law enforcement team came to
investigate, they would not dare to do anything to him without evidence.
So
after a brief surprise, he quickly regained his composure.
"General,
that's what you said, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. You
should be very clear about the methods of the law enforcement team. If they
really find any clues, it will be a big trouble after all." The city guard
general frowned.
"What
can be found? Unless there is a problem on your end, there will be no
loopholes."
At
this point, General Long Wei suddenly glanced at him and said, "Let me ask
you one more question: Are your trusted followers reliable?"
"Of
course there is no problem with my confidants. They have followed me through
thick and thin and will never leak any information. What I am worried about now
is whether those assassins you sent out are reliable?" said the city guard
general.
"Don't
worry, I have sent them out of West Lucozia overnight. Even if the law
enforcement team has supernatural powers, they can't track them abroad."
General Long Wei said calmly.
"That's
good, that's good..."
The
city guard heaved a sigh of relief. "But just in case, we still need to
communicate in advance, so that if the law enforcement team comes to
investigate, we won't be exposed."
"Sir
General, aren't you being too cautious? We have done our job perfectly. This
time the investigation by the law enforcement team will only end in failure.
There is no need to be nervous." General Long Wei joked.
"It
is better to be careful than to be cautious." The city guard general
smiled.
When
he heard that the palace law enforcement team was dispatched, he was already a
little nervous.
He
became even more uneasy, especially when the law enforcement team temporarily
took over the city defense affairs.
That's
why he rushed here without stopping to inform General Longwei.
Now
that they have known each other's secrets, he finally feels a lot more at ease.
…
In
the afternoon, inside the West Lucozia Palace.
Thorian
sat in the conference room with a gloomy face, and standing next to him was the
captain of the palace law enforcement team, Wang Mang.
"Young
Prince, according to the detailed investigation by our law enforcement team, Zhengjun
Duncan has only had contact with three people since he came to West Lucozia. I
suspect that Zhengjun Duncan's whereabouts are related to them." Wang Mang
reported.
"Which
three people?" Thorian's face was as gloomy as water.
Now
he was basically certain that something had really happened to Zhengjun Duncan.
"These
three people are the general of the city guard, General Longwei, and the Grand
Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion." Wang Mang said.
"It's
actually the three of them?" Thorian frowned.
There
was a group of people gathered at the gate of the palace yesterday. If I remember
correctly, the three of them were among them.
"According
to the investigation, the three of them specially hosted a banquet last night
to invite Zhengjun Duncan. There seemed to be some unpleasantness during the
banquet. Not long after that, Zhengjun Duncan disappeared mysteriously without
a trace." Wang Mang said again.
“From
this point of view, Zhengjun Duncan’s disappearance is related to these three
people?” Thorian’s face looked a little ugly.
To
carry out these shady means right under his nose is like pulling teeth from a
tiger's mouth.
"Time
is running out and we haven't found any definite evidence yet, but these three
are the most likely suspects," Wang Mang said.
"Humph!
These guys are so bold that they even dare to touch my guests. They simply
don't take me seriously!"
Thorian
slammed the table and shouted, "Catch the three of them here right now. I
want to interrogate them one by one!"
"Understood
sir!" Wang Mang responded and turned to leave. - Ton
