Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 66
"Where's Kurala?"

When Ember passed through the door and entered the living room, she only saw Fors lying on the sofa in a decadent state, and asked.

"Hugh took it."

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

Ember didn't suspect him either.

After waiting for a short time, there was the sound of unlocking the door.

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

At the same time, a small jellyfish came out from nowhere, and obediently floated into Forsi's arms, allowing her to hug her soft body tightly and rub her face against her.

Xio couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw this, but when he caught a glimpse of the embers, he took the initiative to say, "The Hawkins gang in the East District is Capin's thug, and has been secretly helping him with human trafficking. Most of the missing girls in the East District are their handwriting."

"At the same time, there will be a fleet of merchant ships from the Sunya Sea docking in the dock area every other week. The Bell Chamber of Commerce is responsible for handing over these merchant ships, but since they have never unloaded in the dock area, So no one knows what's in the hold of the merchant ship."

"but,"

Hugh paused, then continued, "Someone sneaked onto those merchant ships without being discovered. According to him, the fully loaded cabins are full of slaves brought from the Southern Continent!"

"What about people?"

Ember pondered for two seconds before asking.

"died."

Xio's face became a little serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone died because of an 'accident'. Whether it was the person who claimed to have sneaked onto a merchant ship, the person in charge of the Bell Chamber of Commerce, or the upper echelons of the Hawkins gang , Everyone died, just last night! Some fell into the river and drowned because of drinking, and some fell to their deaths because of accidental falls from upstairs... There were suicides and accidental deaths, but none of them were 'homicides'! "

"If it weren't for knowing that they were all related to Capin in advance, I'm afraid I would have thought that they really died of accidents."

"Then how are you? Didn't anyone find out?"

Fors, who was still slumped on the sofa, suddenly got up and asked worriedly.

"I didn't dare to investigate too deeply. In addition, I have been doing similar things in the East District, so I should not be noticed. Moreover, those who came into contact with me have been dealt with by Kulala and the others. .”

Xio shook his head, signaling Fors not to worry.

She went to investigate this time and took away the Kulala sisters, on the one hand to enrich the combat power.

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

As the most chaotic, disorderly, and darkest place in Backlund, there are many lawbreakers in the Eastern District who they asked them to kill.

"It's moving faster than I thought."

After Ember heard the information that Xio brought, although he had expected it, he was still a little moved.

Since the royal family can arrange guards around Capin, there must be extraordinary people from the royal family beside other relevant personnel involved.

In normal times, these Beyonders will naturally protect their safety.

But once things show signs of being exposed, they will turn around and kill people.

This is a normal thing.

"Ash."

Xio took a deep breath, turned his gaze to the embers, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is behind Kapin?"

Ember left suddenly last night, and when he came back, he asked Xio to help him investigate the clues of Capin's forces.

As a result, the murder case at Capin Villa was published in the newspaper the next day.

Adding these two things together, as long as Hugh has no problem with his brain, he can guess that the murder at Capin Villa was done by Ember.

In addition, Xio himself is a person with a strong sense of justice, and he hates scum like Capin, so naturally he won't refuse to help him investigate just because Ember committed a murder.

And because Xio has always relied on his reputation as an 'arbiter', he has a good reputation and connections in the Eastern District.

With the help of her contacts in the Eastern 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 just wanted to continue the in-depth investigation, she found that these "big shots" who were treated like bosses all died overnight!
Undoubtedly, when Xio heard the news, it undoubtedly made her feel cold all over.

obviously.

Behind Capin stands another force that can be called a behemoth, and because of Capin's death, the other party chooses to kill and silence.

All the people involved with Kaping are their targets of elimination!
And this also means that if Xio continues to investigate, he will undoubtedly be noticed by the forces behind Capin.

At that time, they will all be in danger.

That being the case, then at least she must know who the enemy she is facing is?
"..."

Ember looked at the girl's firm gaze, pondered for two seconds, and then slowly said, "I can only tell you that this faction is the most powerful group of people in the entire Loen Kingdom."

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

Xio froze in place and couldn't speak, while Fors beside her also suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Although Ember didn't mention her by name, it was no different from reporting her ID card!
Apart from the three major churches in the entire Loen Kingdom, the most powerful is undoubtedly the royal family.

Regardless of the House of Lords or the House of Commons, you have to step aside when you encounter the royal family!

But that's the royal family!
Since they are already the most powerful people in the Loen Kingdom, why do they have anything to do with the slave trade?

Is the royal family short of that money?
"Why don't you wait until I'm gone!"

Fors wanted to cry, but why did she hear this!
Just investigate, why do you have to exchange information in front of her?

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

Ember glanced at her, but chose to ignore it.

"Royal?"

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

She should have guessed.

It is not difficult to kill a few gang leaders and heads of chambers of commerce.
But it can make them die quietly, and die in an 'accident' without arousing suspicion from others.

There are very few forces that can do this.

And the only one who dares to do these things under the eyes of the officials is the officials themselves.

"You can refuse to investigate."

Seeing Xio's appearance, Ember slowly said, "This is indeed beyond your capabilities."

"No!"

Xio clenched his fists, raised his head and looked at Ember firmly, and said, "I have a hunch that this matter may be related to my father's death! Even without your entrustment, I will continue to investigate!"

She never believed that her father died in rebellion.

And now that the royal family's black material has been caught, it proves that her father is indeed very likely to be wronged.

That being the case, she must investigate to the end and return her father's innocence!
"it is good."

Ember looked at the girl's resolute appearance, and did not refuse, but said slowly, "But before that, you have to check another matter for me first. Admiral Qilingus of the Hurricane has sneaked into Backlund, I need You follow his trail."
