Chapter 579: Royal Secret
"Thank you, I will definitely cooperate fully."
Stealing another glance at the red-haired Director's lips and confirming that the lipstick color was the same as the half lipstick mark on Leon's collar, Princess Veronica's eyes flickered, then she said:
"Director, although I am not an employee of your Cleanup Bureau, I thought about it last night and felt that three people might have problems. I don't know if it's convenient for you to listen to my thoughts?"
Your thoughts?
Feeling a subtle hostility from the beautiful woman opposite her, the red-haired Director couldn't help but narrow her eyes, then quietly controlled a strand of hair, pulled Leon's palm, and pressed it onto the Black Goat's forehead, signaling him to check the Princess's soul state, then nodded with a smile:
"Of course it's convenient, or rather, very welcome. After all, having a target to investigate is much better than us looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Then I'll be bothering you."
Controlling herself not to think about that lipstick mark and lipstick, Princess Veronica took a deep breath, then frowned and recounted:
"First is a pair of grandmother and grandchild. Because I was visiting privately yesterday, I was very cautious. Except for Mr. Leon, I almost didn't have close contact with anyone. The only exception was the servant kitchen on the west side of the Laien family manor.
At that time, Mr. Leon was pursuing rebels and fell into an ambush, looking for a kitchen, seemingly wanting to replenish something. I was outside the kitchen coaxing a little girl named Phoebe. During that time, I was patted on the chest by her a few times. After Mr. Leon came out again, he didn't recognize who I was anymore.
Later, when Mr. Leon forgot me and left on his own, I once wanted to ask him the reason, but was stopped by that little girl's grandmother and couldn't stop Mr. Leon in time. I suspect her grandmother stopped me on purpose.
Also, although the two of them have a large age difference, that old lady named Lucy claims to be Phoebe's younger sister, and that little girl named Phoebe also seems to really treat her as her younger sister. I think these two people are highly suspicious."
A strange pair of grandmother and grandchild who call each other sisters?
Looking at Leon, who was touching the sheep's head, and getting a confirming look from him that the Princess wasn't lying, the red-haired Director pondered slightly, then nodded and continued to ask:
"Very valuable information. May I ask if you still remember the appearance of that pair of grandmother and grandchild?"
"I remember."
Princess Veronica answered very firmly:
"That old lady named Lucy has a very hoarse voice, her back is slightly hunched, and she looks to be about sixty or seventy years old; the little girl named Phoebe has a round face and is small in stature, about six or seven years old, and her eyes are very, very special, there is a kind of... um... how should I put it?"
After frowning and recalling for a moment, Princess Veronica said somewhat uncertainly:
"It's like... a very pure feeling, but not the kind of purity of a child. A child's eyes also have emotions and thoughts, but that child's eyes give people a kind of... um..."
After recalling with her, Leon beside her tentatively added:
"Clear stupidity?"
"Yes! That's what I mean!"
After turning her head to look at Leon, Princess Veronica nodded:
"That child is like a piece of white paper that has been wiped clean. Her intelligence seems to be lower than that of children of the same age, but it's not true stupidity, but rather a strange blankness caused by having experienced too little, leading to knowing nothing."
"Understood, it is indeed very valuable information."
Looking at Senior Jie Rui, who was also thinking, and giving him a look to go investigate immediately, the red-haired Director, who had firmly remembered the information, asked warmly:
"Then what about the third person?"
The third person...
Hearing this, Princess Veronica hesitated, seemingly somewhat hesitant, but ultimately said:
"The third suspicious person is my younger brother, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya. Although he didn't show any abnormality, I don't know why, but I always have a hunch that he seems to have participated in it... um... forget it, just pretend I didn't say that! After all, if the person behind this matter really has something to do with Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, given the degree of hatred he and his mother have for me, I'm afraid I would have already been finished off directly."
"I see."
Looking at the Princess who had brought up the third suspicious person but then suddenly denied it herself, the red-haired Director nodded calmly, then smiled and gestured toward the door.
"Princess Veronica, if you don't have any other information to provide, the next part is the work of our Cleanup Bureau. Please go to Leon's office and wait for a while!
Please don't misunderstand, we don't want to hide anything from you, it's just that you have been forgotten by people now, so I don't know if that manual in the royal family that can silence souls still has an effect on you. Eavesdropping on our communication might bring extra danger, I hope you can understand."
"Alright."
Hearing this, Princess Veronica nodded, stood up directly, pushed the door, and walked out. After her footsteps disappeared in the corridor, the red-haired Director immediately began to assign tasks:
"Senior Jie Rui, let your friends go to the Laien family's kitchen, record all the auras that appeared there yesterday noon, then compare them one by one, and find that pair of grandmother and grandchild who call each other sisters as soon as possible.
Then help me notify Emma, let her temporarily put down other tasks for these two days, stay on alert in the Bureau at all times, and once there is a trace of rebels, go out directly and catch them back for me!
Finally, Leon, after you go home and deliver the hair, immediately take my note to the Iron Wang Gong, carefully investigate that Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, and see if he has any connection to this matter!"
"Alright."
After listening to the tasks assigned by the red-haired Director, Senior Jie Rui immediately pushed the door and left, but Leon hesitated for a moment and suggested:
"Director, if possible, can you find someone to swap tasks with me?"
"I'm afraid not."
Hearing this, the red-haired Director shook her head:
"The only person in the Bureau who can distinguish lies and is still free now is you. You are the best candidate to investigate Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya."
"..."
It's not that I think this work arrangement is inappropriate, it's mainly that I just gave that guy a big slap yesterday and even spat on his face. I feel he might not be willing to cooperate with me...
"Leon, believe me, that woman is not ordinary, her hunch is definitely worth paying attention to."
Looking at Leon, whose expression was still somewhat reluctant, the red-haired Director said earnestly:
"If she really is a Princess, then she is a direct bloodline of the Twelve Royal Families, and the Twelve Royal Families... um... let me put it this way: if you trace the ancestors of the royal families of the Twelve Kingdoms currently in existence, they can actually barely be considered people of the Cleanup Bureau."
"Ah?"
"It's true."
After glancing at Leon, whose face was full of surprise, the red-haired Director hesitated slightly, but ultimately explained:
"Including the East Kalevin Kingdom that has already perished, the ancestors of the royal families of all kingdoms were once sitters of the Watchtower. Among them, it might even include the creator of the Watchtower. It is precisely because of the achievements of their ancestors that the Cleanup Bureau is willing to sign an agreement with the Twelve Kingdoms, and even actively make concessions in some aspects.
And the royal families of various kingdoms mostly inherited some anomalies from the ancestral bloodlines of their palace-sitting ancestors, and they often intermarried, leading to some outstanding direct descendants who, even without anomalous objects, more or less mastered some special abilities.
Leon, listen to me, if I'm not mistaken, this Princess Veronica's special ability is very likely reflected in her hunch. So since the Princess feels Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya has a problem, then he most likely has a problem, and it's worth you spending time to investigate carefully!"
