Age of Mysticism

Chapter 86 The Viscount's Invitation

The car door opened, and a maid dressed in traditional imperial service came out.

She saluted Luke: "Thank you for your visit, and please get on the bus, Lord Inspector."

Luke took one more look at the young and beautiful maid, then handed her the hat and cane, and stepped into the carriage. The maid closed the car door and dutifully guarded outside with Shelley and Pisco.

"Hello, Lord Iscoran!" Luke sat opposite Viscount Iscoran, and after observing the situation outside through the car window, he closed all the curtains.

Viscount Iscoran said with a smile, "Detective Meteorite is very careful!"

"Professional habits, especially my identity and your identity, it's better to pay attention to it. I don't know why the viscount invited me here?"

Iscoran knew that Meteor Xing was doing too much, but it was actually to remind himself: Don't talk too much if you don't know each other well.

So Iscoran gave up the prepared phrases, and asked directly: "Master Inspector, you arranged this sudden demonstration, right?"

Luke didn't deny that this was a conspiracy in the first place, and some people needed to understand the cause of it.

"It's just a matter of making the best use of the situation... If it wasn't for the incompetence of the city government office, which allowed the elf Qingkong to destroy the Nulei Tower, I wouldn't have the ability to initiate this parade.

Did today's events cause loss to Lord Viscount?

As long as it is what I can afford, I am willing to compensate. "

Viscount Iscoran did not expect that the inspector of the meteorite would admit it like this. He couldn't help admiring the courage of the senior agent of the empire, and he also looked forward to the result of this meeting.

"In Rage City, I can still protect myself. The main reason for inviting the inspector this time is... I want to provide you with some clues about the armed airship incident on the Clover."

Luke laughed, and things got more and more interesting.

"Master Viscount has a clue? That's great! The airship is too soaked by the sea, and we can't find anything useful on it. If your clue is true, it will really help us a lot."

"As a citizen of the Empire, it is my duty to help the Bureau of Secret Affairs solve the case..." Viscount Iscoran clarified his position, and then said: "Master Inspector, you should know something about the city council of Raging Waves City, right?" .”

Luke said along the way: "Since I came to take up the post in the Secret Affairs Bureau of the Cape District of Raging Waves City, I must have read some information about the City Council of Raging Waves City before coming here.

The city council is the highest administrative body of Raging Waves City, consisting of nine members. Three of them are from the industrial and commercial circles, belonging to the capitalist faction, and are mainly responsible for city finance; three are from city officials, belonging to the establishment faction, and are mainly responsible for city operations; three are from urban magic research institutions, and belong to the technical faction, and are mainly responsible for technology research and development and apply.

The theory of the position of the speaker is that the three factions of parliamentarians take turns, but in recent years, they have been rotating among the technical faction. Compared with the capitalists and the establishment faction, the technocrats are much more low-key.

This is roughly what I know. Is the clue that Lord Viscount said related to them? "

Viscount Iscoran nodded slightly. What Luke said was something everyone knew. The relationship between the two of them is not suitable for further discussion.

"My lord inspector is right. You should also be able to realize that Raging City has developed so rapidly in the past few years because it has a more technical parliament. This is a huge empire internally, and it connects the entire world externally. Starting from here, any new technology can create a lot of wealth in a short time.

This changing era has made this place a paradise for smuggling, and some councilors and city officials have also participated.

According to the information I obtained, when the Clover armed airship crashed, not only did it have the imperial tax money on it, but also a batch of gold several times more than the imperial tax money. This batch of gold is all obtained illegally, and it is planned to be transported to the imperial capital to turn it into legal wealth.

Surprisingly... this batch of gold disappeared inexplicably after the Clover armed airship crashed into the sea. "

Luke asked: "How do you know that this batch of gold exists? You should be an unpopular figure to the city council."

Viscount Iscoran said: "My family's time in Raging City has been far longer than the city council, and it can even be said that I watched the city grow. Although I didn't know the existence of this batch of gold at the beginning, I didn't know It was on the Clover, but the disappearance of the gold caused confusion among them, and some news naturally flowed out.

In fact, I don't need to say it, I believe the Inspector will hear some rumors in a few days. "

Luke said in his heart: My news is earlier than yours.

But the appearance still needs to be put on.

"It seems that this case is more difficult than I imagined, and it is no wonder that Councilor Ible went to Cape District to ask me about this case in a hurry.

Lord Viscount invited me here not just to tell me about this, I want to hear your opinion on this case. "

Iscoran observed Luke's reaction, wanting to see if he was a participant in the case. After all, what he did for Ible today was obviously an alliance between the two.

But the viscount didn't see anything.

Then ask directly: "I want to know...the purpose of organizing this demonstration today, and what deal you have reached with Ible."

Luke said truthfully: "Member Ible came to me today and said that a very high-ranking person wanted to kill him and asked me for help.

I asked him to persuade the parliament to allow me to borrow money from the Imperial Royal Bank to repair Cape Harbor and give me the right to operate Cape Harbor for 30 years.

Councilor Ible said yes, let me bring people here to make troubles, and put pressure on the government affairs hall and the parliament on the grounds that the Nulei Tower was destroyed. Councilor Ible then lobbied, and in order to divert the focus of public opinion, the Government Affairs Office and the Parliament will pass the issue of repairing Cape Harbor.

So I brought someone here…”

Viscount Iscoran was dumbfounded, his expression lacked the calmness and demeanor of a nobleman.

"You, you, you staged a demonstration of more than 100,000 people in Raging Waves City, and even stormed the city's government affairs hall. Just, just to get the council to agree to build Haijiao Harbor?"

"Otherwise... I just want to make this request. It has nothing to do with me what Senator Ible wants to do. As the inspector of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Haijiao District, I just want to use Haijiao Harbor to improve the lives of citizens in the city and let more people Have a decent job instead of giving up on a life of hopelessness.

My expectation for this term is to see a clean, safe and vibrant urban area when I leave office.

Instead of reading a lot of crimes every morning, there is also the autopsy report of the forensic doctor on the murder body. "
