"Thank you, I will definitely cooperate fully."

Stealing another glance at the red-haired Director's lips and confirming that the color of the lipstick was the same as the half lipstick mark on Li Ang's collar, Princess Veronica's eyes flickered, and she then 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?

Sensing a subtle hostility from the beautiful woman opposite her, the red-haired Director couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She then quietly controlled a strand of hair, pulled Li Ang's palm print onto the Black Goat's forehead, signaling him to check the Princess's soul state, and 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 granddaughter. Because I was visiting privately yesterday, I was very cautious. Except for Mr. Li Ang, I almost didn't have any close contact with anyone. The only exception was the servant kitchen on the west side of the Bobby Laien family manor.

At that time, Mr. Li Ang was ambushed while chasing rebels and found 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. Li Ang came out again, he didn't recognize who I was anymore.

Later, when Mr. Li Ang forgot me and left on his own, I wanted to ask him the reason, but I was stopped by that little girl's grandmother and couldn't stop Mr. Li Ang in time. I suspect her grandmother stopped me on purpose.

Also, although their ages are very different, that old woman named Lucy calls herself 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 pair of strange grandmother and granddaughter who call each other sisters?

Exchanging a look with Li Ang, who was touching the sheep's head, and receiving a confirming look that the Princess was not 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 granddaughter?"

"I remember."

Princess Veronica answered very firmly:

"That old woman named Lucy has a very hoarse voice, her spine 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 very small, about six or seven years old, and her eyes are very, very special, having a kind of... um... how should I put it?"

After frowning and recalling for a moment, Princess Veronica said somewhat uncertainly:

"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, Li Ang beside her tentatively added:

"Clear stupidity?"

"Yes! That's exactly what I mean!"

Turning her head to look at Li Ang, Princess Veronica nodded:

"That child is like a piece of white paper that has been wiped clean. Her intelligence looks lower than that of children of the same age, but it's not true stupidity; it's a strange blankness caused by having experienced too little, leading to knowing nothing."

"Understood, it is indeed very valuable information."

Looking at 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 for a moment, seemingly somewhat hesitant, but finally said:

"The third suspicious person is my younger brother, Joshua. Although he didn't show any abnormalities, I don't know why, but I always have an intuition that he seems to have participated in it... um... never mind, just pretend I didn't say that! After all, if this matter really has anything to do with Joshua, given the degree of his and his mother's hatred for me, I'm afraid I would have already been directly finished off."

"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 reached out, making a gesture of invitation toward the door.

"Princess Veronica, if you don't have any other information to provide, the next step is the work of our Cleanup Bureau. Please go to Li Ang'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 is still effective for you. Overhearing 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. And after her footsteps disappeared in the corridor, the red-haired Director immediately began to assign tasks:

"Jie Rui, let your friends go to the Bobby 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 granddaughter who call each other sisters as soon as possible.

Then help me notify Ai Ma, let her temporarily put down other tasks for these two days, maintain vigilance in the Bureau at all times, and once there is a trace of rebels, dispatch directly and catch the people for me!

Finally, Li Ang, after you go home and deliver the hair, immediately take my note to the Wang Gong, carefully investigate that Prince Joshua, and see if he really has any connection to this matter!"

"Alright."

After listening to the tasks assigned by the red-haired Director, Jie Rui immediately pushed the door and left, but Li Ang 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:

"In the Bureau, you are the only one who can distinguish lies and is still free now. You are the best candidate to investigate Prince Joshua."

"..."

It's not that I think this job 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 very willing to cooperate with me...

"Li Ang, believe me, that woman is not ordinary. Her intuition is absolutely worth paying attention to."

Looking at Li Ang, whose expression was still somewhat reluctant, the red-haired Director said earnestly:

"If she really is the Princess, then she is the 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 all the existing Twelve Kingdoms upward, they can actually barely be considered people of the Cleanup Bureau."

"Ah?"

"It's true."

After looking at Li Ang, whose face was full of surprise, the red-haired Director hesitated slightly, but finally explained:

"Including the East Kalewen 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 merits 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 bloodlines of their ancestors who sat in the palace, and they have intermarried frequently, leading to some outstanding direct blood descendants who, even without anomalous objects, have more or less mastered some relatively special abilities.

Li Ang, listen to me, if I haven't guessed wrong, this Princess Veronica's special ability is likely reflected in her intuition. So since the Princess feels Prince Joshua has a problem, then he most likely has a problem. It is worth your effort to investigate carefully!"
