Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 66: Silencing the Witness, Shrimp and Pig Heart
"Where's Kulala?"

When Yu Jin walked through the door and entered the living room, he saw Fors lying decadently on the sofa and asked.

"Xiu took it away."

Fors stretched her body lazily and muttered, "But she should be back soon. Anyway, you two go out before dawn every day and come back after dark."

Yu Jin did not suspect anything.

After waiting for a while, the sound of a lock being unlocked was heard at the entrance.

In the dim light, a small lady opened the door and walked in.

At the same time, a small jellyfish emerged from nowhere and floated into Fors's arms obediently, letting her hug its soft body tightly and rubbing its face against hers.

Xio rolled his eyes when he saw this, but when he saw Yu Jin beside him, he took the initiative to speak, "The Hawkins Gang in the East District is Kapin's thugs. They have been secretly helping him with human trafficking. Most of the girls who disappeared in the East District were their doing."

"At the same time, a fleet of merchant ships from the Sonia Sea docks at the dock every other week. The Bell Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the handover with these merchant ships, but since they have never unloaded goods at the dock, no one knows what is in the merchant ship's hold."

"but,"

Hugh paused, then continued, "Someone has sneaked onto those merchant ships without being discovered. According to him, the cabins were full of slaves shipped from the southern continent!"

"What about people?"

Yu Jin pondered for two seconds and asked.

"died."

Xio's expression became a little serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone died because of an 'accident'. Whether it was the man who claimed to have secretly climbed onto the merchant ship, the person in charge of the Bell Chamber of Commerce, or the upper echelons of the Hawkins Gang, everyone died last night! Some fell into the river after drinking and drowned, and some fell from the building and died accidentally... Some committed suicide, some died accidentally, but not one was 'homicide'!"

"If I hadn't known in advance that they were all related to Kapin, I would have thought they really died in an accident."

"So how are you? No one found you?"

Fors, who was originally lying dejectedly on the sofa, suddenly jumped up and asked worriedly.

"I didn't dare to investigate too deeply. Besides, I have been doing similar things in the East District, so I shouldn't be noticed. Besides, those who have come into contact with me have already been dealt with by Kulala and the others."

Xio shook his head, signaling Fors not to worry.

She also brought the Kulara sisters with her on this investigation, partly to increase her combat power.

On the other hand, it also provides them with opportunities to act.

As the most chaotic, disorderly, and darkest place in the entire Backlund, the East District has criminals for them to kill.

"It's faster than I thought."

When Yu Jin heard the information brought by Xio, although he had expected it, he still felt a little emotional.

Since the royal family was able to arrange guards for Kapin, there must be royal Beyonders around other people involved.

Under normal circumstances, these extraordinary people would naturally protect their safety.

But once there are signs that the truth has been exposed, they will turn around and kill to silence the witnesses.

This is perfectly normal.

"Ash."

Xio took a deep breath, cast his gaze towards the ember, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is behind Kapin?"

Yu Jin suddenly left last night, and when he came back he asked Xio to help him investigate clues about Kapin's forces.

As a result, the next day the newspaper published an article about the murder that occurred in Capin Villa.

Putting these two things together, any normal Xio could guess that the murder at Capin Villa was committed by Ember.

In addition, Xio himself is a person with a strong sense of justice. He hates scum like Kapin, so he will not refuse to help him investigate just because Yu Jin committed a murder. And because Xio has always relied on his reputation as an "arbitrator", he has a good reputation and connections in the East District.

With the help of her connections in the East District, she easily found out that the Hawkins Gang and the Bell Chamber of Commerce were also involved in the slave trade.

But when she was about to continue her in-depth investigation, she found that these "big shots" who she had treated as bosses had all died overnight!
There is no doubt that when Xio learned the news, she felt a chill all over her body.

obviously.

There is another huge force behind Kapin, and the other party chose to kill Kapin to silence him because of his death.

Anyone who has anything to do with Kapin is their target for elimination!
This also means that if Xio continues to investigate, he will undoubtedly be noticed by the forces behind Kapin.

By then, they will all be in danger.

In that case, she should at least know who the enemy she is facing is, right?
"..."

Yu Jin looked at the girl's determined eyes, and after two seconds of silence, he slowly said, "I can only tell you that this force is the most powerful group of people in the entire Loen Kingdom."

After a pause, Yu Jian added, "Except for the three major churches."

Xio froze in place, unable to speak, while Fors beside him suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Although Yu Jin did not name anyone, it is no different from reporting an ID card!
Apart from the three major churches, the most powerful family in the entire Loen Kingdom is undoubtedly the royal family.

No matter whether it is the House of Lords or the House of Commons, you have to stand aside when you meet the royal family!

But that's the royal family!
Since he is already the most powerful person in the Kingdom of Loen, why does he still want to be involved with the slave trade?

Does the royal family need that little money?
"Why don't you wait until I leave?"

Fors wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did she have to hear all this?
You can investigate if you want, why do you have to exchange information in front of her?

What does this have to do with her being an ordinary writer!

Ember glanced at her and chose to ignore it.

"The royal family?"

Xio lowered her head deeply, the shadow covering her cheeks, making it difficult for others to see her expression.

She should have guessed.

It is not difficult to kill a few gang leaders and chamber of commerce leaders.
But they can die quietly and without arousing any suspicion from others by dying in an 'accident'.

There are very few forces that can do this.

And the only ones who dare to do these things under the nose of the authorities are probably the authorities themselves.

“You can refuse the investigation.”

Seeing Xio's expression, Yu Jin said slowly, "This is indeed beyond your ability."

"No!"

Xio clenched his fists, raised his head and looked at Yu Jin firmly, saying, "I have a feeling that this matter may be related to my father's death! Even without your commission, I will continue to investigate!"

She never believed that her father died as a result of the rebellion.

Now that the royal family’s dirty laundry has been uncovered, it proves that her father was most likely wronged.

In this case, she must get to the bottom of the matter and clear her father's name!
"it is good."

Seeing the girl's resolute look, Yu Jin did not refuse, but slowly said, "But before that, you have to help me check another thing. Hurricane Admiral Qi Lingos has infiltrated Backlund, and I need you to track him down."
