Licinius was seen standing at the door of the confessional with a look of despair. Sometimes he would lie down with his hands folded, accepting the illumination of the holy light, with an expression as peaceful as a corpse.
Sometimes he would stand up from the coffin and jump back and forth at the door of the confessional with a gloomy face.
This strange scene stunned him.
"Shit, where is the black magic user? How can he be safe and sound even after being baptized by the holy light? What level of black magic is this?" Major Hayden's scalp tingled and he felt a chill.
No wonder he gets the attention of the empress, this is fucking terrifying.
Immediately, there was a bang and the door of the interrogation room was kicked open.
The soldiers looked extremely unhappy. They walked out in a line, stood on both sides of the corridor, lowered their heads and said nothing.
At the end of the crowd, Lucimia walked out in a daze, with her twin ponytails hanging listlessly on her shoulders. She bit her lips tightly, as if she couldn't believe the result.
"How is it possible? How could this be? How could there be no results?"
She murmured in a low voice: "I lost? I actually lost to an outsider?"
Major Hayden's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
Lucy Mia Barron!
That stubborn woman who is known as a living Shura.
Then he saw Huo Shura take a deep breath, as if he had made some major decision.
"Master Li Xini! I was wrong! I admit that I am an incurable fool and not a qualified detective. My stupidity and incompetence bring shame to the Barron family! You win this bet. From now on, please feel free to... humiliate and insult me as much as you want!" Lucimia bowed deeply and said loudly.
The officers were all stunned and petrified on the spot.
Major Hayden even suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
Chapter 23 She started to panic!
Luciemia bowed deeply, her fair face flushed with shame.
As the eldest daughter of the Barron family, the biggest shadow in her life was her father, whom she could never surpass. Apart from him, she had never bowed her head to anyone else. Until today, she suffered a heavy loss!
At this moment, her mood was extremely complicated.
"Lady Lucimia! You are..." The officers from the Command Bureau were all dumbfounded. The once majestic inspector lady actually lowered her posture to such a low level.
You know, the Administration Bureau has a very powerful influence in the capital.
The Empress's face may not work for them.
But now, Miss Inspector was actually apologizing to a fallen noble!
"None of your business."
Lucimia kept bowing: "This is my personal business, I will accept the loss!"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at the young man at the end of the corridor.
Li Xini held his forehead tightly and sighed, "This is the price of being stubborn! Why do you have to do this? This matter is not as simple as you think, Miss Lucimia."
But he no longer has any intention of taking the blame for those people.
Because the confessional's cleansing magic couldn't kill him at all, it was just fucking garbage magic.
When that ray of holy light fell, he indeed felt his soul evaporating and he fell into a deep sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, only one minute had passed.
Rubbish!
Luciemia took a deep breath and seemed to find it difficult to speak: "Yes, yes. Most of them are innocent. Only Cecil is interested in black magic and needs to be punished."
During the one-hour hypnotic interrogation, she didn't get anything valuable out of him.
The only thing that can be confirmed is the judgment of the young man in front of him.
Regarding the hijacking incident yesterday, the reason why all the hostages were rescued without casualties was all because of this young man and his servants. As for that rubbish Bronze Adventurer Team and the Third Guard Team, they were of no help at all.
I'm an old outsider, and I'll be severely damaged if I touch the classics.
"So this is how the Bureau of Control works?"
Licinius said helplessly: "Did your father teach you this?"
Lucimia mentioned this topic, pursed her lips and said: "My father never taught me. He said that I didn't have the talent to be a detective and was not worthy of taking over the Bureau."
Constance Barron, Miss Inspector's father.
One of the three giants of the Brentanian Empire.
I think your father is right.
Licinius comforted him, "Don't take this blow to heart."
Luciemia hummed softly.
"Because you will encounter more blows in the future."
Licinius shrugged. "My stupid Miss Inspector, you are so stupid!"
The officers who were watching almost felt their scalps tingling as they listened to this conversation.
People living in Roma City may not know the name of this inspector lady. She is the ultimate interrogation maniac in the empire. She is a super sadist who gets so excited that her legs shake when she sees torture instruments. Although she herself has denied her fetish in public and claimed that it was just a pastime when she was too bored.
It’s a pity that no one believed it.
Because although she did not personally participate in every interrogation, she always appeared extremely excited without exception.
This was the first time someone was taught a lesson in public.
Major Hayden thought he was doomed.
This time it wasn't a matter of forbidden knowledge possibly being leaked.
But someone is going to die.
However, what no one expected was that Luciemia lowered her head, pinched the soft flesh on her thighs, lowered her posture and said: "Yes, Master Li Xini. I, I am a fool..."
For some reason, it was obviously very embarrassing to be lectured in front of my subordinates.
But she felt a hint of... excitement
Imagine that you are a prestigious woman, and your subordinates are all respectful to you. One day, you discover an interesting boy and plan to subdue him by your own means.
But you never expected that you would accidentally slip and be tamed by the other party, who would teach you a lesson and train you in front of your subordinates.
The more Luciemia thought about it, the hotter her face became. Her voice became softer. "So, how did Master Licinius determine that the black magic had nothing to do with those students?"
"Is there any need to ask? Don't you have the ability to think for yourself?"
Li Xini complained: "Use your nerves. If these people really mastered the black magic, would they be in such a mess now? Knowing that Roma City will soon be controlled by the military, why are they still staying here? In fact, since the day the front-line troops withdrew, the riots in Roma City have become less and less."
The reason is simple. People value their lives, and thugs dare not commit crimes against the wind.
Luciemia was stunned.
"Secondly, the hijacking incident that day was problematic in the first place. Although it can be understood as the final madness of the thugs, things became abnormal after the criminals were silenced the next day."
Li Xini thought that since he couldn't commit suicide, he would give the inspector a hint: "This means that there is someone behind this group of people, and they were able to kill these criminals without anyone noticing. The means must be extraordinary. How could they hide among these students and let you interrogate them?"
Lucimia blinked her eyes and seemed to understand something.
"If you really catch them, they will most likely commit suicide on the spot."
Licinius said unhappily, "Obviously, someone is misleading you. They want you to interrogate these civilians on a large scale, thereby wasting your time or obtaining unspeakable secrets! Idiot!"
Everyone gasped again and called him an idiot. How could he be so brave
Luciemia forced herself to remain modest, her face flushed, and she lowered her head.
"Oh, I see..."
If you look closely, you will find that her delicate body wrapped in a white windbreaker is trembling slightly.

In the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Tria put down the communication mirror, sorted out the information, and wrote it on paper.
"Your Majesty..."
She said respectfully: "Please take a look..."
The empress took the paper expressionlessly and glanced at the information on it.
Unexpectedly, they had tried various methods to prevent the dispatch of the Control Bureau beforehand but failed. However, this group of people now gave up the large-scale interrogation of the civilian class in the city. It was simply incredible.
And an investigation team was set up to investigate the unprovoked deaths of those prisoners.
This means that the target of the Bureau's investigation is no longer their hidden agent.
But Archduke Joachim's men!
You know, the Administrative Bureau is the only neutral department in the empire. Many parties have fought tooth and nail to gain the support of this group of people, but in the end they got nothing.
In the end, most people gave up this idea and adopted another approach: since you don’t join me, I can only use you.
After all, the Bureau of Control is here to investigate the case.
As long as you have a case, you can get them to do the work for you with a little planning.
For example, this time.
Inspector Lucimia has always hated black magic.
That's why he was invited here to make a drastic move against the city of Roma.
But the person who stopped her this time was Licinius!
A dark magic user, Licinius!
"interesting!"
The Empress asked, "How did he do it?"
Tria shook her head and explained, "Major Hayden was not able to find out anything, and for some reason, Miss Luciemia treated him very badly. She also called the principal, teachers and students of the Royal National Knight Academy a vain and bullying pig. The major felt very wronged."
The empress raised her eyebrows. "It's strange that Li Xini was able to deal with that woman. He gave me a surprise and should be praised. Since our hidden man is safe for the time being, let's send more people to protect him. The Control Bureau didn't know about the existence of "Dawn" because of the information gap, but they may target Li Xini."
The dark magic organization fostered by Archduke Joachim is called Dawn.
Although Licinius was safe for the time being, he had participated in the hijacking incident yesterday after all.
There is a high probability that you will be targeted in the end.
"Understood. There is one more thing you need to pay attention to, Your Majesty."
Tria reminded: "Licinius was able to ignore the church's holy light of purification. Major Hayden saw with his own eyes that he repeatedly revived in the martyr's coffin in the confessional, jumping left and right..."
The empress's expression suddenly became strange.
"Dark magic that can ignore the purification of holy light?" she murmured.
Unheard of…
As we all know, the nemesis of black magic is the church's light purification magic.
"What is Licinius doing now?" asked the empress.
"According to the information sent by the president of the Black Pearl Chamber of Commerce, Norn went to purchase a batch of alchemical materials and waited for Li Xini at the gate of the military headquarters. After the two met, they went home together as usual... But our people noticed something."
Tria said, "That Sword Ghost lady seems to be paying attention to them."

At dusk, on the rooftop of the military building.
Novia stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the carriage heading into the alley, her pretty face covered with frost.
The wind was howling, and her long silver hair fluttered in the wind like flowing mercury.
"He's just a despicable, failed replica. He didn't even inherit one ten-thousandth of my talent. How dare he? What on earth has he been through in the past ten months? How on earth did he discover my secret? And that damn Norn, he's still fighting for this woman..."
She took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions.
No, don't let anger get the better of you.
Those who are controlled by their emotions often do not end up well.
What's more, the other party holds her biggest secret.
