Poxon's heart tightened suddenly, and he instinctively said:

"Of course not!"

"Hey, why? You see, if I use this, then when I find the opportunity to do everything I need to do, and then I have a child, won't the teacher leave me?"

Mu Muze didn't even look up, still staring intently at the medicine box in his hand, his voice wavering.

Poxon pursed his lips, his brain racing!

As expected, Mumu Ze really did have the idea of ​​making things a fait accompli, and he even planned to go all the way...

No! We can't let her continue having this kind of thought!

Miss Poker's brilliant mind had never worked so fast; in just a few breaths, she had come up with the right words.

Looking at the stubborn Mumu Ze, Pokson suddenly said:

"Your Highness, doing this might actually push him away..."

Swish!

Mumu Ze suddenly looked up, staring intently at Pokson, and asked in a cold voice:

"What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, don't you think it's problematic to use normal human thinking to judge an abnormal hunter?"

Pokson said quietly:

"Using children to tie down a man? Then let me ask you, in the experience that Dia just told me, how did that hunter named King Freecss do it?"

Mu Muze froze, his mouth slightly open, speechless.

Indeed, when talking about her experiences in the ancient Ganyu Kingdom, Dia also mentioned Jin's deeds.

That was a total scumbag father who only cared about giving birth but not raising his children...

"Right? That person can abandon his family for the dream of being a hunter. Can't Dia do the same?"

Pokson silently apologized to Dia in his heart, but continued to slander her aloud:

"Think about it, isn't he the kind of person who usually seems to hate trouble? If someone like that were in the situation you just imagined, what would he do?"

Mumu Ze seemed to wake from a dream, and suddenly realized:

"Yes! The teacher hates trouble. If I did that, wouldn't it scare him away?"

"Hmm, this child is teachable."

Pokson nodded solemnly, looking at Mumu Ze with loving eyes, and couldn't help but praise him:

"Your Highness, you are becoming more and more intelligent."

(A green frog should be shown here, indicating a mind map.)

His Highness, feeling a wave of relief, patted his chest and said gratefully:

"Thank goodness for you, Poker, otherwise I would have made such a big mistake. This matter really needs to be considered more carefully..."

Miss Poker waved her hand modestly, but couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

The atmosphere in the room instantly transformed into one of harmonious coexistence between ruler and subject, brimming with vitality…

--------------

Inside the archives.

Lu Pei and Bu Xidora stared at the dazzling array of items on the table, lost in thought.

Here, there were flattened weeds, dark red soil, torn pieces of clothing, broken stones, and even a human head...

In short—it's all garbage.

Although they were invited to investigate the intrusion into the royal palace, it was clear that Kakin's side would not allow them to search the entire palace.

In the end, they and Saqiu were only allowed to investigate a small garden area located between the outer wall of the palace and the royal hall.

Even so, the clues that could be obtained were still pitifully few.

On the one hand, too much time has passed, and on the other hand, the King's Army's investigation has caused devastating damage to the scene.

Even though Lu Pei tried his best, he only managed to collect some useless clues, which were exactly the "garbage" in front of him.

Has Saqiu already given up?

Basidora couldn't understand the purpose of that pile of garbage and human heads, so she could only ask questions she could understand.

Lu Pei looked up at him, shook his head, and calmly said:

"He seemed to have figured something out, and he abandoned the attempt to break through from the direction of the royal palace, turning instead to investigate another direction."

"Another direction?"

"I ask you in confusion," said Busidora.

Lu Pei nodded and said:

"Yes, on the night of the incident, among the noble youths invited to the banquet hosted by the Third Prince, a woman and her bodyguard were intercepted and killed on the way. The perpetrator then took their identities and infiltrated the banquet."

Two unidentified murderers brazenly infiltrated the prince's palace...

Busidora's eyes lit up, and she said impatiently:

"Then they must be the culprits, why don't we investigate in that direction as well?"

Lu Pei calmly took off his glasses, wiped them, and said:

"There are two reasons. First, murder cases are Kobayakawa's forte, and we have no chance of winning if we compete against him."

Secondly, there's an eerie disharmony about this whole affair from beginning to end...

Lu Pei's dark figure swayed in the pale light, his eyes filled with apprehension as he spoke:

"Both princes have shown a lack of cooperation in this matter, and even the king himself doesn't seem to care. Didn't you notice? No one from the Kakin Justice Bureau has intervened. We had to apply for this archive room before it was allocated to us. In other words, the Kakin royal family isn't in a hurry to deal with this matter; it's just that the royal army is very anxious."

“I think the attitudes of both princes in this matter are worth examining, especially the third prince, Jolai. When an unknown person appeared at the banquet, he didn’t seem worried at all.”

"I'm afraid this whole thing was tacitly approved by the Third Prince, or even something he was aware of..."

Lu Pei sighed at this point and stopped talking.

Bu Xidora only half understood what Lu Pei meant, but she knew what he meant, so she asked:

"So what's the use of all this stuff we've collected?"

On the surface, this pile of garbage seems completely meaningless.

If there were any traces left by criminals on it, that would be one thing, but the problem is there's absolutely nothing there.

No footprints, fingerprints, or other traces of human tissue or clothing were found at the scene.

It's no wonder the royal army was completely clueless.

"Who said these are all garbage?"

Lu Pei smiled, silently raised his hand to gather his spiritual energy, and silently recited in his heart:

'【Lost and Found Mobilization】!'

At the same time, a white birdcage materialized and floated in front of the two of them.

Lu Pei looked at the birdcage and thought:

'【Lost and Found】This app helps owners find their lost items, and it also helps lost items find their owners!'

'This pile of trash is something I found after searching every inch of my garden; it had been moved.'

'According to the activation conditions of my ability, any unclaimed item that is lost after passing through the hands of the first person to touch it becomes a "lost item." If the "owner" is still alive, the "lost item" will be given life, imprisoned in a cage, and begin searching for the "owner" using its senses.'

In other words, if any one of these items has been touched by the intruder, it can serve as a "radar" for locating him!

As Lu Pei activated his ability, the white birdcage trembled, and a wisp of blue smoke drifted out of the cage door, covering the scattered items on the table!

"Ugh..." "Eh..." "Oh ugh..."

Under Lu Pei's tense gaze, the three items on the table began to shake one after another.

Then, under their gaze, the three objects sprouted tiny features and emitted different lazy sounds, as if they had just woken up from a dream!

Are there three items that meet the criteria for lost items? They are gravel, weeds, and... a human head.

Lu Pei stared intently at the severed head.

It belonged to the patrolman in the royal palace who died that night.

According to the forensic examination, the soldier was killed with a single stab wound, his head severed.

A well-trained soldier was beheaded without resistance, without even a trace of struggle.

This is one of the reasons why the royal army judged that the invader might be an extremely skilled swordsman.

The reason the intruder killed the soldier might be that the soldier saw what the intruder looked like or sensed the intruder's abilities.

The head itself was not actually among the things they collected.

It was Lu Pei who, after hearing about this, specifically applied to a high-ranking official in the King's army and obtained the head.

The reason is simple—he felt there was a high probability that this head belonged to the intruder!

'If the head was severed by the intruder himself, my ability will most likely classify it as an item that the intruder lost…'

After all, cutting off someone's head and discarding it inherently involves the act of loss.

But there are also problems with this.

'What if my ability actually identifies the soldier who was there to collect the body as the "owner"? Then all my efforts would be wasted. The same applies to the other two "lost items."'

Lu Pei thought for a moment, then waved his hand, using the birdcage to collect all three lost items, and turned to say:

"Let's go, let's check them one by one, starting with the stones and weeds."

The middle layer is the hidden stronghold of the Ai Yiyi family.

"Lord Dia, the task you instructed us to do before, which was to collect information on the causes of death of past kings, is almost complete, except..."

Melina handed a bound report to Dia and said:
