It wasn't until a while later that Lena let go of her embrace and looked at the people around her stunned before she asked in confusion:

"What's wrong with everyone?"

"Lena, what were you doing just now?"

Leeteuk spoke first.

If it's just a hug, that's fine, but if you get close to your face and smell it with your nose...

"Huh? Ah, I was just smelling the smell of injury on my elder brother." Lena said.

"Can you smell this?"

Lianka was stunned.

She only knew that Lena's nose was very good, but she didn't expect Lena to have such a function?

"So, Lena, did you smell it?"

Olivia on the side asked at this time.

"No."

Lena shook her head.

"It seems like big brother is really treated very well."

"Okay, I haven't asked you why you came suddenly. You didn't come a few days ago. I thought visitors were not allowed outside."

Orson changed the subject at this time.

"It's true that they didn't allow it before."

Liteuk curled his lips.

"Otherwise I wouldn't have used that method."

"Is that so? So the previous gathering incident was really planned by you, Liteuk?"

"You can't say it's me, we all contributed."

At this time, Olivia was walking around the room, and suddenly, she pulled the curtains up.

The room suddenly became dark.

The other three women all looked at Olivia in confusion, but the latter just smiled and then said:

"I want to help you clean the house, Orson, is that okay?"

Orson certainly understood what Olivia meant, and he nodded.

"Although someone will come to clean my room every day, who would refuse his fiancée~"

These somewhat intimate words made Leeteuk next to him feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Orson changed the subject later.

"Anyway, Li Te, you can come here without any conditions, right?"

"Yeah." Li Te nodded after hearing this.

"They asked us to help stabilize the situation everywhere."

Leeteuk directly stated the purpose of the police station and the royal family behind it.

"Orson, what do you think we should do?"

"Shouldn't it be up to you to make the decision on this matter?"

Orson said this while looking at Leeteuk in front of him.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Orson..."

"With my current status, it's not convenient for me to give you advice, right? Otherwise, the royal family will think that I am interfering with you."

"Think about it, Prucia, Antica, and Naples. If these three forces unite because of me, what will be the impact on the royal family?"

After hearing Orson's words, Little understood immediately.

"So, what do you mean?"

"I think you already understand, don't you?"

Liteuk's expression was full of confusion, but she finally nodded.

At this time, Olivia also came to Orson.

"Orson, I have cleaned the house, there is no dust at all."

"Yeah, thank you very much."

Olivia approached Orson at this time, carefully arranged his collar, and then raised her head to look at Orson again.

"Okay, it's almost time. It's good to see that you're okay. Should we go back today?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded after hearing this.

"Then... Orson, goodbye."

"Goodbye big brother!"

"Ahem, I'm leaving too, please come out early..."

Orson smiled and waited until the four girls left the room before he came to the window again and opened the curtains.

He glanced in one direction thoughtfully, and then lay down on the bed.

On the other side, the Duchy of Antica.

After the royal charter investigation order was issued, Shylock came to the Duchy of Antica as quickly as possible.

At the gate of the Duke's Palace of Antica, Shylock met Lucius.

"Hello, Your Majesty the Duke, I am the royal investigator Sherlock. I was ordered to investigate the previous cases of turmoil in the imperial city."

"I understand." Lucius nodded, then looked at Sherlock.

"But what does this matter have to do with our Duchy of Antica?"

"That's right. Although it may touch on things you don't want to mention, I would like to ask where the emblem of Lady Mary, that is, the emblem of the Tulus family, is now."

Sure enough, after hearing Sherlock say this, Lucius frowned.

It can be said that the breakdown of his relationship with Mary is something everyone knows, including the fact that Mary was not buried in the family cemetery after her suicide, which can also be said to be his tacit approval.

Now that things have happened, Lucius cannot be too happy after hearing the news about Mary.

"Why are you asking about the clan emblem?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his tone. If you were an ordinary person, you might be a little timid when faced with the Duke's tone.

But after all, Sherlock had the support of the royal family, so she was not afraid at all and directly stated the reason.

"We suspect that the clan emblem previously discovered in the Imperial City belongs to Lady Mary, so let's check. If Lady Mary's clan emblem is still there, we can rule out this suspicion."

"If it's not there, does that prove it's our problem?"

Lucius said dissatisfied.

"Of course not."

Sherlock could only laugh along.

"It's just that if he's not here, the problem might be more troublesome, because this case involves the royal family after all..."

"Little girl, you're really good at taking advantage of others." Lucius said this, snorted coldly, then turned around and said to his subordinates:

"Give this lady and his subordinates some time to investigate."

"I, Lucius, have been loyal and brave all my life, and I will never betray the royal family."

Chapter 42: Strange Corpse

Sherlock led the investigation team into the Duke's Mansion and immediately launched an investigation.

The entire Duke's Mansion cooperated with the investigation work very well, and the investigation progressed quite smoothly. After checking the storage rooms on the first floor, no one found the family emblem of Lady Mary.

Sherlock didn't think he could find it on the first floor. After all, no matter what, Mary was once the mistress of this family, and it was impossible for such an important thing as the family emblem to be placed here.

Afterwards, she came to the second floor, and according to the servant's instructions, she came to the room that once belonged to Mary.

Pushing open the door, this room is now very deserted and unpopular except for someone coming to clean it regularly.

Sherlock walked to the desk, looked at the bookshelf behind him, and then opened the drawer of the desk.

As expected, there was no trace of the family crest inside.

At this time, the people who checked other rooms also came back.

"Sir, we didn't find the family crest of the Toulouse family in other rooms."

When she heard the word "sir", Sherlock frowned slightly, and then she nodded, indicating that she understood.

After that, she came to Lucius's room.

"My Lord Duke, we have searched the house, and we didn't find the family crest of the Toulouse family in the house, so I would like to ask, where is Lady Mary buried?"

Lucius frowned when he heard Sherlock ask this.

Then he raised his head and stared at Sherlock.

"You want to dig a grave?"

"Do you know that your behavior is a humiliation to a noble family?"

"I'm sorry, but this is the investigation order of His Majesty the Emperor. Please understand."

Lucius slammed the table, and Sherlock took two steps back.

"You are taking advantage of my loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Then he walked straight to Sherlock.

"Investigator, Orson and I have talked about you, and I know about you."

"You solved the case with him, and you were promoted because of it. Otherwise, you would still be an unknown little detective, right?"

"At this point, you don't choose to believe my son, but send him in for investigation, making him the target of public criticism. Do you still have a little gratitude?"

Sherlock looked at Lucius's questioning, and her body trembled slightly, perhaps because of fear or excitement. After a long time, she slowly spoke:

"My Lord Duke, no, besides me, there are also people who suspect Orson. Only by completely clearing Orson of suspicion can he not be hated. Otherwise, if the case is hastily closed, it will deepen the rift between him and others."

Lucius snorted coldly when he heard Sherlock's words.

"You said it so nicely, but in fact, weren't you one of the people who gave evidence at the time?" Lucius snorted coldly, then turned around and sat back in his original place.

"I will arrange for someone to take you there, but this is my bottom line. If you mess around again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Thank you, Duke."

Sherlock was relieved when he saw Lucius agree, and then hurried out.

Lucius arranged for someone to wait for Sherlock and his party at the door, and when he saw her coming down, he immediately came to greet her.

"Hello, Miss Investigator from the Imperial City is here. I will take you to Lady Mary's cemetery next."

"Well, thank you."

Sherlock forced a smile and followed the man.

The group quickly passed the family cemetery, and Sherlock asked in confusion:

"Is Lady Mary not buried in the family cemetery?"

"No." The servant shook his head and then explained: "Because of that incident, the relationship between the master and the lady was completely broken. After that, the lady hanged herself, and the master did not allow her to be buried in the family cemetery, which was a punishment for her."

"Is that so." Sherlock heard this and nodded. Showing understanding.

Then, the two came to an unnamed grave. The servant stepped aside, pointed to the tombstone in front of him, and then said: "This is the grave of Lady Mary."

"Really? Then start digging."

Sherlock said this, signaling the members behind him to start digging immediately.

"I want to remind you that although we have arranged Lady Mary's remains and the coffin has been sealed, it has been so long and the weather is hot now, so there may be some things in it that you don't want to see. Please understand."
