The atmosphere in the restaurant is no longer so scary.

"Sixty percent of the people who died during the Emerald Celebration were drunkards who fell into the canal after being drunk on the night of the carnival." Zhan En took the cup handed by his sister and exhaled, "The remaining 30% were from various people.

All kinds of murders, vendettas, gang wars, or this debt dispute are just covered up by the Emerald Celebration, and most of them are man-made disasters."

Thales took the cup:

"Then what's the remaining 10%?"

"The security officers in Emerald City are not detectives," Zhan En said softly. "There will always be cases that cannot be solved, such as missing people."

Thales discovered that Hilley had only poured him half a cup of clear spring drink, and when he leaned over the rim of the cup to drink, two faces similar to those of the "Soul Bone Jacques" appeared on the inner wall of the cup.

Words made up of fluorescence:

【Don’t conflict.】

Thales frowned slightly.

"eaten."

Hilley said suddenly.

Thales and Zhan En both raised their heads in confusion:

"What?"

Xi Lai rubbed his gloves and rolled his eyes: "If it is really a water ghoul, then of course there will be no corpses of the people who were eaten. They can only be 'missing', right?"

Thales narrowed his eyes

"Um, that's right?"

The next second, Xi Lai frowned. She took a deep breath and stood up with difficulty:

"Ah, sorry, I have to leave."

Thales asked in confusion: "Ms. Shikandire?"

Zhan En's eyes tightened even more and he stood up:

"Xilai, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

But Hilley just waved his hands indifferently and exhaled:

"It's nothing, it's just menstruation."

ah?

Thales and Zhan En were both stunned. They quickly turned their heads and looked away awkwardly.

"Ah, I have to change the menstrual cloth. I feel like I'm sitting in a pool of blood every hour..."

Zhan En's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly:

"Cecilia!"

Hilley waved his hands indifferently:

"You should be happy. You bleed every month, which means your sister doesn't have a big belly..."

Thales pretended not to hear, lowered his head and drank the drink, and at the same time painted out the fluorescent words on the wall of the cup.

Zhan looked at Cecilia in disbelief, then looked at Thales, and said angrily:

"Cecilia! Don't mention this again! Where is your education?"

"What's wrong? Is this okay for everyone?"

"Half the men are not!"

"That's right!" Xi Lai opened the door and turned around and said fiercely: "Then you are doing so many things by pointing your fingers!"

The door closed, and Thales and Zhan were the only ones left in the restaurant again, looking at each other.

"This girl never makes people worry," the Duke snorted coldly, and also lowered his head to take the cup to cover up his embarrassment, "You see, she is not a good girl, let alone a good wife, she will only make your palace fly.

Jump."

Thales curled up his lips: "Well, I don't think it's that bad..."

Fortunately, Thales reacted and stopped in time before Zhan's eyes turned cold again.

But after Heeley's interruption (and perhaps Heeley's reminder), the atmosphere between them was no longer so tense.

"I thought we agreed yesterday: I will continue to pursue Dagory Moss's affairs and pretend to be hostile to you in order to confuse our enemies." Thales adjusted his mood, became serious, and returned to the topic again.

.

"Exactly," Zhan put down his wine glass heavily, "so I cooperate with you in acting, obstruct you and fight against you as always, so that everyone, whether they are your own people, enemies, smart people, stupid people, or stupid people who think they are smart, will think that

What is being staged in the Emerald City is the struggle between the prince and the duke to mislead the kingdom about its secrets, isn’t it?”

Thales was silent for a while and chuckled.

"So you took the lead, cut off the investigation clues, and almost brought trouble to the subordinates I sent to investigate. You even tried to frame me for the sensational and explosive topic of 'the prince's personal guards broke into the house and killed people', right?"

Zhan En shook his head and said:

"If you don't do this, how can you convince the Kingdom Secret Service and your father that the two of us are indeed fighting cruelly, a matter of life and death?"

"But judging from the wool merchant's story, you seem to be quite into it."

Zhan raised his wine glass again and observed Thales through the glass: "Remember, since you want to pursue results, you must follow through to the end?"

Thales was silent for a while.

"Dagory Moss went to see the wool merchant before he was silenced."

"I know."

"If he was ordered to do this by the Kingdom's Secret Department, there must be a reason."

"I know."

Thales frowned:

"Then why are you"

But Zhan interrupted him first, leaving no room for doubt:

"Because I have understood it a long time ago!"

The owner of the iris looked at him coldly:

"In the plan of the Kingdom's Secret Department, their trump card is none other than someone else."

"And it's you."

"The second prince, Thales Bright Star."

At that moment, facing Zhan En's razor-like eyes, Thales' heart tightened.

There is still one chapter left and I will probably finish it in the early morning.
Chapter completed!
