Chapter 578: Identity Confirmation and Investigation Begins

"I know it sounds unbelievable, but I do have a way to prove it."

Not knowing that Li Ang had already verified the truth of her words through another method, in order to prove her identity to the Cleanup Bureau, the Princess, who had thought for a whole night yesterday, raised her hand to untie her old shawl and place it on the table, introducing it earnestly:

"The wool used for this wool shawl comes from Merino County; it is the wool of the Merino White Rock Sheep unique to that place. This wool has excellent fineness, is not easily soiled, and has a pure color that is easy to dye, so it is highly sought after by nobles.

But because Merino White Rock Sheep grow slowly and live on rocky cliffs, making collection very difficult, the wool production is extremely low, so the price is exceptionally expensive. Even among nobles, few can afford it, and most of it is blended when used to make clothing.

And this shawl was a gift from my father on my twelfth birthday. It is made entirely of Merino White Rock Sheep wool. The feel is completely different from those blended wool fabrics. The print on it is also the Royal Red-collared Robin, and the flower net woven from the tassels was also woven by my personal lady-in-waiting. There won't be a second shawl like this in the entire Capital."

"But in the end, this is just a wool shawl. It wouldn't be that difficult to imitate, right? And we don't understand wool, so we can't judge whether what you said is true or false."

After patiently listening to the Princess finish explaining the origin of the wool shawl, Jie Rui frowned and asked in return:

"Do you know how difficult it is to forcibly erase the existence of a Princess from everyone's memory? This kind of ability is already approaching the realm of gods.

Let alone the entire world, even if the scope is only the Kingdom, or even narrowed down to the entire Capital, wanting to find such an anomalous... um... thing, is not generally difficult.

So, compared to a Princess being forgotten, I would rather believe this is the raving of a madman. After all, compared to erasing the existence of a Princess, it is more realistic that someone imitated a shawl."

"Your skepticism is completely reasonable, but please don't be in a hurry; I haven't finished speaking yet."

In order to regain everything of hers, Princess Veronica had made quite sufficient preparations. She wasn't in a hurry after being questioned by Jie Rui, but instead pushed the shawl on the table toward Li Ang, her expression calm as she said:

"Liang... Mr. Li Ang, you have a magical broom that can fly into the sky, I'm not wrong, right?"

The hangover after a night of binge drinking, the news of his own early marriage, plus the discrepancy between memory and reality, almost caused Li Ang's brain to crash. But out of trust in the Badge System, he still cooperated with a soft 'hmm,' then rubbed his temples and looked at the Princess, hoping she could really provide sufficiently powerful evidence.

"That's right, yesterday I was held by you and rode on that broom."

Under the gaze of Li Ang and Jie Rui, Princess Veronica unfolded the shawl on the table, pointed to the exquisitely woven tassel net, and said with a hint of relief in her eyes:

"At that time, my personal lady-in-waiting felt my attire was a bit revealing... um... in short, she temporarily used the tassels of the shawl to weave a net. And when I got on your broom, the tassel net of the shawl scraped against your broom and happened to be torn a little.

So if you haven't used that broom from noon yesterday until now, it's very likely that a strand of white-with-red wool is still hanging on it—from the only pure-spun Merino wool shawl in the entire Capital."

?!!!

After hearing Princess Veronica's words, Li Ang froze slightly, then immediately took out the Witch's Broom and checked the branches at the tail of the broom.

Li Ang and Jie Rui were surprised to find that, although some seemed to have been blown away by the wind, there was indeed a small amount of wool hanging on the tail of the broom, and regardless of the feel, color, or degree of thickness, it was exactly the same as the wool of the shawl on the table.

"Phew... I think this evidence should be enough to prove something, right?"

After Li Ang and Jie Rui finished comparing the wool, the Princess, who had let out a sigh of relief, released her clenched palms and said with a calm expression:

"Regarding the situation of the Merino wool, you can ask someone who understands textiles to see if I am lying. And if what I said is true, it proves that Li Ang and I did indeed have contact yesterday and had ridden on his broom.

Although it sounds a bit boastful, a woman like me sitting behind him, I believe Mr. Li Ang certainly wouldn't have no impression. So the only explanation is that except for me, the victim, everyone else's memory has gone wrong. Do you agree?" "..."

Agree... This should be considered completely confirmed!

"Find the Director!"

Realizing that there was a 90% chance that what this woman who called herself Princess said was the truth, Jie Rui couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression serious as he looked at Li Ang and transmitted his voice:

'If it is confirmed that someone used an anomalous object to attack a Princess of a country, then things have become a big deal. According to the agreement between the Bureau and the Twelve Kingdoms, this level of matter must be reported to the Headquarters immediately, and then the Director of the local branch must take over and preside over the investigation. From now on, this matter is no longer for us to handle!'

"So... even though the year-end review is next week, the Princess was attacked by an anomalous object at the level of an Evil God?"

After listening to the report from Li Ang and Jie Rui with bleary eyes, the red-haired Director, who had been forcibly dragged back from her sleep, couldn't help but let out a cry of extreme helplessness.

I don't want that kind of thing!

Such a deadly situation occurred before the year-end review. Even if it is solved beautifully afterward, a rating of poor supervision is unavoidable. The rating of the Virgin Branch this year will probably be unprecedentedly low, directly becoming the last among the eighty-seven branches.

What? Ever since the Bobby Laien Blood Night, our branch has already been locked in last place, and even the four big characters "Olivia" have already been carved on this year's pillar of shame in advance?

Ahahaha, then it's fine, then it's fine...

Leaning against the back of her chair with a desperate look, the red-haired Director cleared the residual alcohol from her body with a wave of her hand, then, carrying a belly full of resentment with nowhere to vent, began to ponder how to solve this deadly problem as soon as possible.

First, it must be to find that anomalous object, or the person using the anomalous object!

"This... um... how should I address you?"

Hearing the red-haired Director's question, Princess Veronica, who was observing her lips, blinked and nodded slightly:

"Veronica, your lordship can just call me Veronica."

"Alright, Princess Veronica."

Entering "work mode," the red-haired Director swept away the decadence of her previous drunken state, her expression serious as she promised:

"I guarantee you in the name of the Director of the Cleanup Bureau's Virgin Branch that from now until this matter ends, you are absolutely safe. No one can hurt you.

In addition, I hope you can seriously cooperate with our investigation. Our Virgin Branch will surely do our utmost to restore everything to normal in the shortest possible time!"
