Nice was looking at a letter in his hand by candlelight. It was a letter home from his daughter Luo Lei.
"Father:
The daughter has been away from home for nearly a year and misses her father all the time. However, without her father’s nagging around her, the daughter feels happier and more at ease. Is this the so-called good things don’t come in pairs? Then the daughter can only choose one of them.
I will continue to happily miss my father from afar and will not go home for the time being.
It has been nearly a year since my daughter successfully entered Qiwu Royal Academy. When I was at Donika Academy, everyone called me a genius. Now that I am here, I can only be the lowest student. Everyone around me is in the four-star field.
Luo Lei, the great genius in the past, can only be an ordinary person now.
Let me tell my father some good news: just ten days ago, I successfully advanced to the four-star intermediate level! It should be faster than my father did back then. It is only natural that a tiger father will give birth to a tiger daughter, hehe.
By the way, I received a letter from my brother a few days ago. In the letter, he congratulated me for successfully entering Qiwu Academy, but his words were sour, and his jealousy was invisible but could be smelled.
Really, why are you jealous of your little sister? We haven’t seen each other for three years. My brother hasn’t grown up yet. The Tianfeng Academy he studied in is also pretty good. Although he went to Tianfeng Academy after failing to get into Qiwu Academy. Hehe
, you can’t say this to your brother.
This letter from my daughter just wants to let her father know that her daughter is doing well. She also wishes her father good health and a successful career, but she is not allowed to find a stepmother for me.
There is one more important thing: if that little thief returns to Donica City, please father catch him immediately. After being imprisoned, write a letter to your daughter immediately. I will come back immediately to punish the little rascal!
Please father must agree to your daughter's request.
My daughter Luo Lei pays tribute."
With a smile on his face, Nice closed the paper and carefully placed it in a wooden box for preservation.
"This little girl dares to say that her elder brother has not grown up. The only one who really has not grown up is you!"
People always say that daughters are considerate, and this is true. My son has been studying away from home for more than three years, and the letters he writes back every time are only a few simple sentences. It is so heart-warming to read this letter like my daughter.
Niss lost his wife in his early years and did not remarry. He raised his two children by himself, which was a mixed experience, sour and sweet. Now that his children have left home to go to school, he himself can relax.
As the lord of a city, he has to deal with a lot of things every day. Just to receive the nobles from various major cities takes up most of his time. Major events are rare.
.
The most eye-catching event in Donica City in recent years is of course the strange case more than two years ago.
At that time, I exhausted my manpower and material resources, mobilized two thousand city guards, lowered the city gates and searched for several days, searching almost every house and business, seriously affecting the normal work and rest and business of Donica City residents.
development, but still achieved nothing and became an unsolved case.
Compared with this case, the case where Jiedu was attacked in his own manor seemed insignificant. Although the murderer was not caught, Jiedu himself stopped pursuing the case afterwards, which made Nice relieved.
The unsolved case from more than two years ago should have been solved long ago, and there is no need for Nice to keep it in his mind. He is thinking about it now because he has received the news that several groups of spies from Qiwu City still refuse to obey.
He was investigating this matter in secret. He didn't need to think too much to understand that this would be the work of that force.
"The Lanwell family still refuses to give up!" Nice sighed.
The envoys sent by the Lanville family came to him again and again to ask for official information on this case. Although this move touched the authority of his city lord, he didn't care and gave it all away, thus gaining more from the Lanville family.
Lots of benefits.
Anyway, he has given up investigating the case, so why not be a favor? If the Lanville family can solve this unsolved case on his behalf, it will only be beneficial to him, so why not do it?
However, there is something that makes Nice confused. Recently, the Blueville family has begun to pay attention to "Master Monroe" again.
"All the major families have clearly given up tracking Master Monroe, with the exception of the Lanville family. This is really strange!"
Nice tilted his head and thought for a long time but still couldn't think of anything. He sighed softly and gave up.
"Anyway, this person has left long ago. No, it should be said that Master Monroe does not exist at all. The Lanville family has spent a lot of effort on this, but in the end it is just a waste of effort!"
Speaking of Monroe, he immediately thought of one person.
Of course Nice knew that the bad guys, lewd thieves, etc. mentioned in Luo Lei's letter were referring to that one person.
"It's been a year and a half, but I wonder where that boy Yi Yun has gone?" Niss suddenly felt longing for him.
Donica City, in a secret house.
"You have been investigating for a year and still haven't found the murderer?"
A middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was sitting on a chair and asked the three men in black standing in front of him.
"The incident happened two and a half years ago..." One of the men in black said, "Although the city lord Ness handed us all the information on the case, it has been so long that it is still impossible to determine who is the perpetrator."
The middle-aged man listened and responded calmly: "The deacon understands your difficulties very well. But this is a task personally assigned by the head of the family. This reason alone cannot be used to excuse it..."
"Of course the head of the family understands that this matter is difficult to handle, so he has sent three groups of spies here. The three of you are the leaders of each group of the three groups of family spies. Although you can't find anyone, you can always find out some information.
Bar?"
The man in black also nodded at this time and said: "Three groups of us have visited everywhere and screened tens of thousands of people within this year, and we have indeed determined that one person is the most likely criminal."
The other two men in black also nodded.
"who is it?"
The three men in black reached into their arms, each took out a volume of secret paper, and handed it to the family deacon in front of them one by one.
"We have three groups of thirty people, and one group consists of ten people. What is written in these three volumes of secret paper are all the conclusions drawn by each group after repeated discussions by ten subordinates!"
The middle-aged deacon nodded with satisfaction and opened the three volumes of secret papers in his hand one by one. When he saw them, he almost jumped up.
Group One: "Monroe, the Weapon Refiner"
Group 2: "Monroe, the Weapon Refiner"
Group 3: "Monroe, the Refiner"
The middle-aged deacon was shocked for a while and then asked: "How did you come to this conclusion?"
The first man in black spoke first: "The place where the fourth young master was killed was in a remote area of Donica City. It is the area where blacksmiths and smelters are concentrated in the city. It is noisy and usually only blacksmiths go there. And
This area becomes as quiet as a ghostland at night. Unless the young master goes there for a purpose, it is impossible for anyone to be here at night..."
"Therefore, I inferred that this man should be a blacksmith living in this area."
The second man in black also continued: "We have thoroughly investigated all the blacksmiths in this city. There are more than 4,000 people in total. They are all ordinary people. It is impossible for them to have the ability to harm the young master. We also have their children."
After investigating together, the results are the same..."
"So, my second group believes that this person is definitely not an ordinary blacksmith."
The third man in black went on to say: "The young master once said that this man used fire attribute fighting spirit, and nowadays, most of the weapon refiners in the major families practice fighting spirit of the same attribute. When the young master was killed,
In this city of Donica, there is only one weapon refiner who happens to be here..."
"It's said to be Master Monroe who can make magic weapons!"
...
The middle-aged deacon suddenly fell silent, lowered his head and thought about it all over again. After a long time, he sighed and said: "It sounds reasonable, but in fact it is ridiculous! It is just inference and some evidence that is not evidence. Do you think it will be?
Does anyone believe these claims?"
The three men in black remained silent.
They also knew that this conclusion was quite unreasonable and difficult to convince others, but other than that, they could no longer find any suspicious people related to this matter, and they could answer the important matter assigned by the family head personally with nothing. This was not the case in Lan.
This would never be tolerated in the Weir family.
The middle-aged deacon saw all the reactions of the three people in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said helplessly: "Forget it! This is your only achievement this year. I will send this secret note back to the family. As for the head of the family,
Whether you believe it or not, that’s not what I can say.”
