"Well......"

However, after these words, the threads binding Dr. Jackal's body tightened even more under Miss Domination's control.

"It seems you, Dr. Jackal, don't quite understand your current situation. Detective, why don't I do it for you? I guarantee she'll confess everything afterward."

Before Xia Yuan could speak, Prometheus, standing to the side, offered her suggestion.

“Denied, leader of the Domination Association. You and Dr. Jackal are both S-class fugitives wanted by Destiny. Not arresting you on the spot is already the greatest tolerance. The interrogation should be conducted by Destiny alone.”

"Such arrogance! Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? If you can do it, then try it. It's just a mere artificial intelligence."

Just as Prometheus and Lady Domination were about to clash and fight...

Xia Yuan stepped between the two and stopped them, saying:

"Miss Domination, thank you for your kindness, but please leave the interrogation of Dr. Jackal to me."

"Alright, alright, I was just doing you a favor, Detective. Remember to come to my room after the interrogation and share the information. Also, I'm looking forward to your reply regarding joining the Domination Association~"

Miss Dominator waved her hand at the crowd she was manipulating.

The initially hostile crowd dispersed, returning to their seats in bewilderment. In a sense, all the tourists on the train were hostages of the mistress.

"Detective, my compartment is number 101. Don't forget to come find me after the interrogation!"

Before leaving, the Herrscher whispered something in Xia Yuan's ear.

"Hey, how long are you going to keep clinging to my arm? Can you give it back now? Or have you fallen in love with my hand? If you like it, you can have it, right?"

The Herrscher of Domination displayed her half-severed doll arm as she passed by Fu Hua.

Fu Hua glanced at Xia Yuan to the side, and with her partner's consent, she handed the half-doll arm back to the Herrscher of Domination.

After seeing that Miss Dominion had completely left the carriage, Xia Yuan said to Prometheus, who was still on guard, "Prometheus, put Dr. Jackal down in the middle of the aisle first."

"Instruction received."

at this time.....

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, watching the departing figure of the Dominator with indignation.

Xia Yuan could tell that Kiana seemed to have a lot of grievances against Miss Domination. After all, the white-haired girl in front of him had never suffered such grievances since she was a child.

"This is infuriating... Detective, you absolutely cannot be fooled by that wicked woman and tricked into counting money for that blonde brat. You would never abandon me and Auntie, right?"

Kiana muttered to herself...

"Um... Detective, look at this, your hair color and eye color are exactly the same as mine. Maybe you're a distant relative of mine and my aunt or something?"

She glanced pitifully at Xia Yuan, shaking his arm and acting coquettishly.

She would never let that girl with the center-parted hair lead the detective away from Destiny to a dangerous terrorist organization like the Domination Association, never!

"Excuse my bluntness, but according to the DNA test report in the Destiny Archives, Kiana, there is no blood relation between you and Advisor Xia Yuan, but..."

[Xia Yuan's heart has been replaced by a dormant core.]

[Command prohibited.]

Prometheus was about to say something, but this part seemed to be listed as a forbidden topic.

"Hehe, maybe. After all, both you and I, Kiana, have two eyes and one mouth. If Kiana could be as reliable and less worrisome as Prometheus..."

Chapter 236 is about Aunt Himeko~

Xia Yuan jokingly referred to the white-haired girl who was acting coquettishly around him.

"What? This young lady is incredibly reliable! Uh...maybe?"

Seeing Xia Yuan's questioning gaze, Kiana felt a little guilty.

"If Kiana were truly reassuring, Theresa wouldn't have sent me. Sigh, I'm such a busybody. I didn't even have time to have a drink before Theresa rushed me here in such a hurry."

A mature woman with long, slightly wavy red hair approached the group, carrying a portable black briefcase.

【Destiny Investigator: Himeko Murata】

"Hey, it's Aunt Himeko~!"

Upon seeing Himeko, Kiana excitedly rushed to her side... but Himeko disdainfully pushed her away and pressed down on the girl's right cheek as she tried to get closer.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Aunt Himeko, I know I was wrong~ Please take your hand off my cheek."

This person doesn't seem to know how to admit their mistake at all!

"Kiana, you better explain to me what you call me in private. I'm not that old! I don't even have a boyfriend yet!"

"Hehe, Aunt Himeko, if you keep being so violent, it would be a miracle if you could find a partner. You're already an old maid, and no one in the Destiny Headquarters wants you. Everyone's afraid of you."

"Okay, Kiana, I think you haven't trained enough yet, so I'll give you some extra lessons."

Himeko was completely at a loss with the mischievous girl with the ponytail in front of her.

Himeko clenched her fists, and the crisp sound of her knuckles made Kiana quickly hide behind Xia Yuan.

"Mr. Consultant, could you please do something about Aunt Himeko? She's always bullying me."

But when Himeko saw Xia Yuan in front of her, she respectfully saluted him and said, "Himeko of the First Division of the Destiny Investigation Department is at your command. Please give your instructions."

As an advisor to Destiny, Xia Yuan was only one rank lower than Theresa, who was a high-ranking official. However, he could not directly mobilize Destiny's Valkyrie forces and needed to ask Theresa or Bishop Otto for permission.

"Is Theresa worried about Kiana, or is she trying to get more manpower by sending Himeko from the First Investigation Division?"

Xia Yuan thought to himself.

Although Theresa did not send Durandal, the strongest of Schicksal, or perhaps Durandal had other official business to attend to, he was very welcoming to anyone who came to help.

"Welcome, Himeko Murata. Prometheus, please take Dr. Jackal into custody and lock him in the room."

"I will personally conduct the interrogation later. Also, Fu Hua and I have just discovered some new clues. Let's go to the side room first to summarize and organize the case of Miss Eden's missing jewelry."

"Latest instructions received... Escorting S-class wanted fugitive Jackal to the designated room."

Prometheus's mechanical arms lifted Dr. Jackal up, and just as everyone was about to leave the carriage and head towards Xia Yuan's room, a slightly surprised, magnetic voice echoed in the carriage.

"Kiana, what are you doing on this train?!"

"Eh... It's Mei, my best friend from back then~ Hehe, of course I'm here to help the detective solve this super tricky case."

Kiana put her hand on Xia Yuan's shoulder and greeted Sunshine and Raiden Mei with a smile.

After a long time apart, when Mei saw Kiana still as cheerful as ever, she gave a barely perceptible smile, but the smile quickly faded as she returned to her usual coldness.

That gloom had lingered in Raiden Mei's heart for a long time, and it was difficult to dissipate.

The matter of my father, Lei Dian Long Ma Ling Dang, being imprisoned...

From the moment she boarded the train, Xia Yuan secretly observed her. Raiden Mei was one of the other biggest suspects in the case and served as the captain of the Second Investigation Division.

Xia Yuan noticed...

From the moment she first saw Kiana, her eyes kept darting away from her, as if she dared not meet her gaze.

"Um... Kiana, could you come here for a second? There's something I'd like to talk to you about alone."

"Hey, Mei, it's the same talking here, we're all family here~"

But when Kiana saw Mei's troubled expression...

"Hehe, I get it. So Mei wanted to whisper something to me. I just can't do anything with you. But hurry up, we're going to discuss the jewelry theft case with the detective later. Mei, you can come and listen in too~"

Upon hearing about the missing jewelry case...

Raiden Mei's body trembled slightly instinctively, and then she replied somewhat absentmindedly:

"Um... Kiana, I have other work to take care of for now."

"What the hell? Auntie is really treating Mei like a model worker. I'm calling Auntie right now to help you get revenge!"

"No! Kiana, actually... that's some of my private matters."

Raiden Mei hurriedly pulled Kiana to a corner by the carriage and whispered something to her.

Xia Yuan watched the two of them silently from the side...

Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he understood some lip reading, and besides, Prometheus was right beside him.

Raiden Mei's expression when Kiana mentioned the jewelry theft earlier betrayed her.

It's clear that the other party knows some inside information.

"Little Pu, listen in on the conversation between Raiden Mei and Kiana."

[Instruction accepted]

[Entering monitoring mode...]

"Listen to me, Kiana, this train is going to be very dangerous. Get off now while you still can, or it will be too late."

Raiden Mei earnestly advised her former best friend, who was sitting next to her.

"Ah? Danger? I've never been afraid!"

"Besides, there's Prometheus and Detective on the train, with the most powerful brain and absolute strength, plus Master Hua who uses Chinese Kung Fu to perfection. I think the ones in danger are those despicable villains!"

Kiana waved her fist, showing Mei that her Kaslana family's gun-fu technique was also very powerful.

"Kiana, things aren't as simple as you think. There are many things involved..." Mei hesitated, "Anyway, you should take the advisor and the others and leave here as soon as possible."

Kiana had never seen Mei with such a solemn expression.

In her past memories and academy life, Mei was always a very gentle person, but ever since Mei's father, Raiden Ryoma, went to prison, Mei has become a different person, excluding everyone.

Chapter 237 Bronya Who Bites

Kiana put her hands behind her back and said:

"Hmm... Mei, you look better when you smile, just like before. I'll try to persuade the detective, but I doubt he'll give up on investigating this case so easily."

The girl with white hair in a ponytail seemed a little reserved in front of Raiden Mei.

She had never seen the other person so serious before.

Just as Kiana turned to leave and was about to ask Xia Yuan, Raiden Mei called out to her again.

"Kiana, could you please have the detective hand over Dr. Jackal to me so I can interrogate him myself?"

"Oh? I'll try my best."

Kiana is torn between her best friend and her idol, the detective. She doesn't want to lose either of them, but for some reason, Mei is becoming increasingly distant and unfamiliar to her.

Prometheus was listening to their conversation.

With the other party's help, Xia Yuan heard everything clearly. It was obvious that there was some connection between Raiden Mei and that Jackal Doctor.

Xia Yuan looked at Dr. Jackal, who was handcuffed by Himeko not far away but still looked arrogant.

Even if I were to conduct the interrogation myself...

Given the other party's personality, it's unlikely we'll get any valuable information. We might as well turn the tables and lure them out.

After Kiana and Mei walked slowly one after the other, Xia Yuan asked Prometheus to secretly equip Dr. Jackal with a listening device and a miniature positioning device.

Then... everyone pretended nothing had happened.

Under Kiana's coaxing and pleading, Xia Yuan readily handed over Dr. Jackal to Raiden Mei.

Xia Yuan watched as Raiden Mei led Dr. Jackal toward the next carriage. Despite knowing the train was dangerous and warning Kiana to get off, Kiana remained alone on the steam train.

Mei's words were full of contradictions.

In another carriage, Raiden Mei untied Dr. Jackal's restraints and looked at him indifferently.

“Jackal, remember to behave yourself. It’s best to stay in your room and not appear in Kiana’s or that detective’s sight. Also, if your plan harms Kiana in the slightest, I will absolutely not let you off.”

Raiden Mei's cold voice echoed in the other person's ears, but Dr. Jackal scoffed at it.

"What's wrong, Raiden Mei? You care so much about your former friend? What kind of expression would she have if she knew that you were actually a member of World Serpent's executives?"

"My affairs are none of your concern, Jackal. Don't forget your promise."

"Yes, yes, Miss Mei."

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, and they returned to their respective rooms on bad terms.

at this time......

On Xia Yuan's side, Prometheus caught a petite traveler secretly spying on them, whose small stature was completely concealed by a detective hat. However, once discovered, the traveler very consciously raised his hands.
