Walk alone in the abyss

Prince Vinos was killed in the underground chamber.

This quickly became the most breaking news in Emperor Star.

It's not just because Prince Vinos has a high status. He is the elder brother of His Majesty the Emperor and the highest status among the contemporary aristocratic groups. He has also entered the House of Elders, served as a supervisor, and has his own faction in the House of Elders;

More so because...

He died wearing a skirt, and his male favorite became one of the suspects in the case.

The news quickly becomes twisted and developed in a direction that satisfies human curiosity.

By the time Yang Ming heard the relevant news from Catherine, the version had changed to [the prince died tragically at the hands of his partner due to his unique obsession].

For a moment, the public opinion on Emperor Star was in an uproar, and the Elder's House forcibly suppressed the news, and did not let the news spread to Emperor Star.

An hour after the incident.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and called seventeen or eighteen people in charge of the security work on the outer layer of the Emperor Star into the main hall, removed the official hats of several old people on the spot, and promoted several young people.

Emperor Star was under full martial law. Due to the insufficient manpower of the Emperor Star Surface Security Bureau, a large number of defense forces were mobilized to search for the murderer on the surface of the planet.

It was only three hours after the incident.

The heads of various government departments stationed in the Emperor Star, the princes, princes, princesses, and nobles who lived in the Emperor Star all accepted the investigation and questioning of the Public Security Bureau.

The twelve elders and more than a hundred elders who lived in the elders' house in Emperor Star were also greeted by the officers of the defense force.

For a while, people were panicked, and various rumors appeared inside and outside the Emperor Star.

The imperial palace module, in the palace where the emperor lives.

More than a dozen dancers were shaking their waists. The emperor closed his eyes and listened to the melodious music. His fingers danced lightly on the armrest. The smile on his mouth slowly bloomed and then quietly disappeared.

There was a maid kneeling beside her, talking softly.

The emperor opened his eyes, raised his hand and waved it, and the dancers in front bowed their heads and retreated.

"Let the elders come in...inform Viscount Handon and ask him to come here now."

The maid led the way, trotting barefoot on the warm ground.

Two minutes later, more than a dozen gray-haired elders entered the gate of the palace. Just after the ceremony, before they had time to say anything, the emperor waved his hands and said slowly:

"Sit down and stay with me here."

Maids on both sides activated more than a dozen seats, and the seats were suspended, pushed forward slowly by the maids, and arranged in two rows.

The elders expressed their gratitude and took their seats in order.

The elder asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Prince Vinos..."

The old emperor raised his right hand and sighed softly.

"I know," he said slowly, "I am still immersed in great grief at this moment, this is my blood brother, do you understand? This is my blood brother."

"Your Majesty, we must strengthen the protection of the Emperor Star, and we must catch the murderer!"

"Silence for him first."

The old emperor interrupted the elder's shout, the eyes of the old man were sharp, and the elder who spoke immediately bowed his head, not daring to breathe.

The hall became quiet and solemn.

The maids hid in the corner, breathing very slowly.

This silence lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Several elders almost had a heart attack, and two elders had cold sweat on their foreheads.

The emperor suddenly laughed: "What are you doing standing at the door, come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yang Ming's voice came, and the elders were relieved.

Yang Ming strolled in with a backpack on his back, walked straight in front of the elders, stopped two meters in front of the emperor, and gave a standard military salute.

"Your Majesty, you are looking for me."

"Did you hear about my second brother's death?" the emperor asked.

"I heard," Yang Ming sighed, "Please express my condolences."

"What's the use of mourning?"

The emperor said coldly:

"Someone on Emperor Star, the most heavily defended Emperor Star in the empire, killed my brother, the second brother of the emperor of this country!

"What is this? It's a disgrace! A disgrace to you warriors who boast of your bravery every day!

"Someone's humiliating you, Hunton! And you're telling me to mourn! What's the best thing you can do now?"

Yang Ming: ...

Made, also did not give the script in advance.

Yang Ming shouted at the top of his voice: "Catch the murderer! Fill the loopholes in Emperor Star's security defense!"

"Not bad! That's it! Very energetic!"

The emperor smiled, glanced at the elders below, then looked at Yang Ming, narrowing his eyes slightly:

"Handon, tell me, what happened when my second brother died? Was it peaceful?"

"It's not safe," Yang Ming said in a deep voice.

"Oh? What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't visited the site yet, so I can't say anything specific, but I heard rumors..."

Yang Ming said in a deep voice:

"The more outrageous rumors are that the Prince is wearing a woman's attire, with a woman's makeup painted on his face, and there are some drugs that stimulate nerves and senses around him.

"Also, it is said that the prince's male favorite is on the sidelines... This really damages the image of the empire.

"In addition, I also heard that His Excellency was stabbed in the heart many times, and his death was not peaceful."

"Tsk," the emperor raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows. "This is really a tragedy. His children are all on their way back to Emperor Star, Grand Elder?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the Great Elder's voice trembled inexplicably, "You order."

"Suppress the news," the emperor sighed, "don't let these rumors spread to my nephew and niece. My second brother is a man who cares about face and has strong self-esteem. When the case is closed later, we will prepare a grand funeral for him."

The Great Elder got up and saluted: "Yes! I'll make arrangements now!"

"In addition, I remember that there is a famous detective named Hui Saka, who solved many major cases in a row in the past few years," the emperor said, "call Hui Saka here, and leave this matter to him to investigate."

Yang Ming coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, I am Hui Saka. At that time, I deceived the military department and became an undercover agent of the military department. I went fishing under the pseudonym Hui Saka to catch myself."

The old emperor's expression was a little dull: "This is a bit messy."

Yang Ming briefly talked about the process of his calculation of the secret army of the empire, and the old emperor almost laughed out loud.

In fact, the old emperor didn't even bother to browse through all the information on the white ghost, but only saw Hui Saka's false identity as the white ghost.

"This is really a wonderful thing," the old emperor said slowly, "Then I will leave this case to you, Detective Hui Saka, my Knight of the Guard."

Yang Ming saluted: "Your Majesty will not be disappointed!"

"Then let's do this first, let's go to work, I will chat with Hanton."

The elders hurriedly got up, greeted the emperor with a bosom salute, and left the hall quickly.

The emperor gently raised his hand, and the maids moved the suspension seat forward, and opened the main shielding system of the hall by the way.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Wearing a skirt! And a male favorite!"

The old emperor almost burst into tears from laughter, and sat there slapping his thighs constantly.

"Handon, it's really you! How did you come up with such a bad move! My second brother has been very face-saving all his life, but now he has become a big joke in the aristocratic circle, hahaha! Well done! Uh, what do you do? Is it this expression?"

Yang Ming pursed his lips and spread his hands, shaking his head slightly.

"Didn't you do it?" The old emperor asked with a smile.

Yang Ming said: "I didn't think about the skirt, it just happened to me."

"Uh," the old emperor's laughter stopped abruptly. Sitting there, he fell into deep thought, and couldn't help muttering: "Are they all having such a good time? Doesn't the evolution of entertainment take me?"

"Your Majesty, this kind of pleasure is just too much on weekdays. After losing that sense of anticipation, the same level of excitement will continue to disappear, so go to seek more excitement through novelty hunting."

Yang Ming said in a low voice, took off the backpack, and respectfully held it in front of the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is the murder weapon. There are fingerprints and biometric information of the other six people on it. Before they did it, they had already touched these two daggers."

"Yeah?"

The emperor squinted and smiled, took the backpack over, opened it for a look, and dodged back again.

"I can't see this kind of bloodshed...Is there any problem with entrusting this case to you?"

"no problem."

"Well, you can delay for a few days, and when I see which guy is not pleasing to the eye, he will be the murderer."

The old emperor waved his hand, threw the backpack behind the seat, and then leaned back on the cushion, his eyes full of memories.

"This feeling is really good, Hanton. I just realized that the imperial power that has been unshackled is really intoxicating. This is the best way to enjoy yourself."

Yang Ming did not speak.

He didn't want to get involved in such a morbid topic.

The old emperor suddenly said: "Do you want to know what happened to my history teacher? The one who was raped by this bastard."

"Did he get killed?"

"Ah, the reason why my history teacher is so fascinating is that she is elegant, pure, well-learned, never messes with imperial nobles, she is the daughter of an earl, and has a fiancé.

"After she was raped by my second brother, she angrily went to the elders' house to report, but she was judged to be a false accusation by the elders' house. The earl was also talked and pressured, and her fiancé also disappeared during a voyage.

"Later, her mental state had problems and she was sent to a mental hospital."

The old emperor sighed softly, with a look of memory in his eyes:

"Look over there, in that corner over there, those two lovely twins, they look like my teacher, but they are still a little different, after all, they are the third generation of clones."

Yang Ming: ...

The old emperor bowed his head and wrote something, then clicked OK, and sent the order through the emperor's dedicated network.

"Okay, your appointment has been issued, and you can transfer the hundreds of security stations on the surface of the Emperor Star at will in the future.

"Go get busy Hanton, you've done a good job this time.

"My second brother's granddaughter is also a nice girl. I will arrange her into the palace later to be my grandson's history teacher."

"Yes, if Your Majesty has no other orders, then I will take my leave first."

Yang Ming bowed his head and took two steps back, then strode away from the sight of the old emperor.

The old emperor waved his hand, and the dancer and maid returned to their original positions, and melodious music wafted from the corner again.

...

after an hour.

Yang Ming sat in the conference room of the headquarters of the Emperor Star Surface Security Center. In front of him were more than a dozen 'talkers' of the surface security system. They were all wearing white police uniforms, and their faces were not considered old.

The Emperor Star Security Office is directly responsible to the Elder's House, and the Emperor Star Defense Force is directly responsible to the military headquarters.

Now, taking advantage of the death of the prince, the emperor has purged a wave of old people from the public security system, replaced them with a group of middle-level cadres, and arranged for Yang Ming to lead the public security system. Naturally, Yang Ming didn't need to ask about his intentions.

Yang Ming threw the case on the table, exhaled lightly, and placed his legs on the edge of the table in front of these people.

He opened his right hand, and a pen flew over, and he held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly.

This group of middle-level cadres was taken aback by this method, but they were not so shocked when they thought that the man in front of him, with a lightsaber and a mecha, dared to cut down the Zerg Queen.

"That's all?" Yang Ming asked with a frown.

The person in charge of the public security center who was just promoted whispered at this moment: "Master You, Ghost, this is the evidence that has been collected so far. The murderer is very cunning, and this matter is too, too strange."

"Is it strange?"

Yang Ming smiled and said:

"Isn't it very clear in your case file?

"All the guards in the Prince's Mansion were stunned by drugs within a few minutes. A large amount of drug residues were detected in the body. The alloy door of the underground secret room was forcefully broken open. It was suspected that it was the work of a robot with attacking equipment. His Excellency Prince's heart was inserted. A few times, the murder weapon should be two metal daggers.

"Isn't this a team crime?"

"Yes my lord, but!"

A police officer at the back frowned and said:

"There is no ordinary monitoring equipment in the Prince's Mansion. We retrieved the monitoring system on the street outside the Prince's Mansion, but found that these materials were destroyed in advance.

"In addition, we wanted to restore the module memory of the module where the Prince's Mansion is located, so as to determine the real culprit, but the supercomputing group corresponding to this module began to be overhauled at the same time, and it happened that no backup records were left.

"Also, the satellites of the defense force should have been able to take a bird's-eye view of the gang, but when the murderer gang committed crimes, these satellites went to take pictures of the universe! There are more than 30,000 powerful satellites outside the Emperor Star, half of which are It has the function of monitoring the surface, but no one has captured the relevant information!"

Yang Ming nodded, frowned and said, "This is indeed a bit strange."

Another police officer smiled wryly: "This may not be a struggle that we can intervene in. There are only two companies that can do this and mobilize so many resources."

Yang Ming asked: "Which two?"

"Aren't you asking knowingly, we really can't tell."

"It's the House of Elders or the Defense Force."

Yang Ming leaned back: "You mean, if you want to catch the murderer, you must first find out who tampered with the satellite data and surface module data."

"No clues of value were detected at the scene," a police officer said.

"Master Phantom, will we be pulled out to take the blame? In the end, the case will be closed, and we will be charged with a crime of ineffectiveness?"

Yang Ming said sternly: "The administrative staff will stay, and the front-line investigators will gather the elite officers you know and organize an investigation team of 500 people."

"yes!"

Half the officers left the conference room.

Yang Ming tapped his own badge with a pen, and said slowly: "Everyone, regarding my appointment, it should have been sent directly to you. You should understand what it means."

"Yes, Lord Ghost."

Yang Ming said: "Then tell me in detail what it means."

"His Majesty personally issued the appointment...bypassing the Elder's House, which shows that His Majesty does not trust the Elder's House."

"That's right," Yang Ming said in a warm voice, "This matter is of great importance. What you may see is a crisis, but what I see is your opportunity, an opportunity that may take a few steps forward. This matter does not lie in Who to find out, who to find out, but to do it beautifully and rightly.”

These responsible persons were thoughtful.

Yang Ming said slowly: "Later, I will lead those 500 people to set up a task force to investigate and collect evidence. You should know what to do, and your subordinates have rules."

"Master Ghost, can you, can you point us to a little bit more thoroughly, we really have no experience in this area."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Let me use an analogy, if the elders' house or the military department ask you about the progress of the case, what should you say?"

"Truthfully...to tell the truth...this is a case that His Majesty personally intervened in, no comment?"

"Still smart."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, and said in a gentle voice:

"Compile a copy of the case file, your doubts, and our previous discussions, and send it directly to the palace. Later, I will report everything to the palace every few days.

"Don't be afraid of pressure from the outside, the Emperor Star Public Security Office is the only legal violent organization other than the Emperor Star Defense Force, who dares to put pressure on you?

"Okay, I've come to this point, you should go to work and go to work."

Several persons in charge looked at each other, immediately stroked their chests, lowered their heads, and said in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Phantom, for your reminder!"

Yang Ming waved his hand and left the conference room with a smile.
