My Immoral Detective System

At this time, Zion didn't know that the dhampir princess was facing the worst tortures of all. She was being hit by an iron rod for so long that her robes became wet with blood. There wasn't a part of her body that ached as she desperately wished to get her powers back or somehow she could find a way to take the power back, but the thing was, Zion hadn't told her anything about what he had done back in the prison. He didn't get a chance to mention the details that made the dhampir princess muddled. She couldn't even think straight at this time, and she hadn't been so helpless for a long time. She let out a laugh thinking of this.

There was only hatred in her heart, and nothing else.

But Zion didn't know a single thing about it. He hid well before carefully following the masked man. At this time, he had thought that he would be able to reach near the murder place, so he continued to follow with caution. He didn't want to relive his previous experience of getting caught by this masked man. That was why he kept a wider distance while following the man.

As expected, the masked man walked into the street and entered a darker alley. After coming out of the dark alley, he walked over to another dark street. There, Zion could see there was a shabby carriage parked in the darkness. The man entered the carriage and drove it in the dark street. Since the speed was fast enough, Zion's pace also increased, but he nearly missed the man before finally encountering the carriage after a while.

It had already been half an hour since the detective started following the masked man, and that person was still traveling. Zion's brows furrowed, but he kept up with the man.

After running for a while, Zion's steps paused as he took deep breaths as if he had become exhausted. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hid in the dark alley nearby as he watched the carriage stopping in a darker street.

At this hour, not many soldiers were outside wandering around the street. Even if they were, none of them walked over to where the carriage was going. It seemed as if the soldiers arranged for the way in such a way that they wouldn't encounter the masked man so easily.

It seemed as if the gentle husband had planned this meticulously for a while before contacting his spies among the soldiers.

When Zion thought of this, his brows furrowed deeper. There was only one way that could make the man insert spies among soldiers. He could tell that the elf queen must have taken liberty herself to choose the soldiers, or she should have a hand in that. Maybe she was only involved in signing the names of the soldiers who had passed the exams and were eligible.

It wouldn't be easy for a common citizen or even a person among the officials to insert spies among the soldiers. The queen was smart, and she would find it out quickly. But this queen wouldn't be smart enough if the case would involve her own family. Since the gentle husband seemed to be the husband of that elf girl, he could tell that without the involvement of royalty, nothing could happen.

So it must be that the branches of this gentle husband must have spread far inside the officials' and soldiers' region. The point was, who else was involved in this case? And why?

After a few minutes, the masked man took two children on either of his shoulders sleeping nicely, and kept them inside the carriage before driving it away on the same route.

Zion cursed the carriage and his own body under his breath. He was already so exhausted, and now he would have to run again!

At this time, 007, who was hiding inside his mind, popped out and said in a worried tone, "Host, do you want my help?"

"No thanks," Zion muttered as he kept running a marathon after the carriage. Even though he was heaving heavily, he still kept running for the fear that if he paused even for a second, he would miss out on the carriage. Then he thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any speed boosters?"

The system grinned and nodded. "It costs just 80 points!"

That means all the points he had at this time! Zion glared at the system and shook his head while curbing his anger at the same time. "Get out!"

007 sighed and went back inside the human's head.

It could be said that Zion wanted to find the murder place tonight, so he ran for his life after the carriage, and even risked getting caught in between, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't be as fast as the carriage driven by two horses at the fastest speed.

In no time, Zion ended up losing the carriage as he paused and took deep breaths. It seemed as if all the oxygen was sucked out of his body. He had ever been at such a disadvantage before! And even the system was useless!

His lips pursed as he took a deep breath. Even though his attempt this time failed, he was sure that the gentle husband was going toward the palace. The path that man took was the same, but the masked man suddenly turned toward the backside of the palace. That was where Zion lost the masked man. His lips pursed as he sat on the ground in the dark alley and stared at the sky.

If his guess was correct, there must be an underground place of some sort that could help the gentle husband transfer the kids and kill them….

But why go to such lengths to commit a murder? Just what was this man trying to do?

Zion's brows furrowed, but he didn't think too much about it. He took a deep breath and decided to follow a new plan. He would use his servant's identity to search the palace, especially the area where the gentle husband rested. There must be a hidden door inside the palace, and he was determined to find it!
