Upon hearing this, Philcohen's face darkened and his brows almost formed a "川" shape.
"Hurry! It's in the room ahead!"
"Everyone alert!"
"yes... ..."
A lot of footsteps were heard at the door, and then many figures rushed in.
After seeing the scene inside the house, everyone was stunned.
Phil Cohen waved.
"Secure the scene."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the guards immediately began to handle the scene carefully.
"Mr. Filcorn," Hulim stood up and looked in a certain direction outside. "I'll go there."
"Okay, do you need help?"
"No, I can go faster alone..."
whoosh——!
The next moment, Hulim disappeared into the night.
... ...
Not long after, Hulim came to a forest.
"...Is this the place?"
Hulim observed the place carefully and soon found traces of remaining ice magic.
"...same person as in the room."
"but... ..."
Hulim's eyes swept across the woods.
"You run really fast."
Following the traces of magic, Hulim quickly locked onto a river next to the woods.
Hulim landed beside the river, and the traces of magic he had detected were completely cut off here.
"Did you use a high-level concealment magic item..."
In this way, it will be difficult to catch the criminal, which means that the incident will develop in a very difficult direction.
"Minister of State, I hope the situation won't escalate into something more serious..."
However, that's probably impossible.
Hulim searched back and forth along the river several times, but ultimately found nothing.
However, this situation was also expected. The other party was fully prepared and must have prepared a foolproof retreat.
After searching in vain, Hulim could only fly back to the manor.
... ...
Huh~!
When Hulim's figure reappeared on the balcony.
"Ah, Hulim is back!"
Miko shouted.
Hearing the voice, everyone in the room immediately focused their attention on Hulim.
"Lord Hulim, is there any result?"
Filcorn asked anxiously.
Hulim shook her head.
"They came prepared, and their tracks completely disappeared near a river... Sorry, we weren't able to catch them."
"Is... is that so?"
The worry on Filcoen's face suddenly increased.
"Anyway, thank you for your help."
"Sir Felcorn, don't worry too much. I will help you find a solution to this matter."
Alicia spoke to comfort her.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Your Highness."
Filcohn bowed to Alicia.
"Sir Filcorn, there's no need to thank me. This is what I should do."
Just then.
Martina walked in from outside and went straight to Alicia.
"Your Highness, Lord Crawford's convoy has been completely controlled."
"Okay, search carefully. Don't miss anyone or any place."
"yes."
After receiving the order, Martina left the room again.
"Alicia," Hullim looked at Alicia and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
"Um... ..."
Alicia turned her head and glanced at the guards who were dealing with the scene.
"Have all the traces at the scene been recorded?"
"Yes, Your Highness, everything has been recorded!"
"Well, let's collect Sir Crawford's body first. Also, someone—"
"exist!"
Several guards stood up.
"Report this matter to the court immediately!"
"yes!!"
Several guards immediately left the room upon receiving the order.
Not long after, several figures riding Swiftfoots left Filkon's manor and disappeared into the night.
"Let's not stay here. Let's discuss countermeasures somewhere else."
"You are right, Your Highness..."
Hulim and others came to the reception room of the manor.
After casually instructing the servants to prepare some tea and snacks, the few of them began to discuss.
"Sir Filcorn, your current situation is not good."
"Yes, Your Highness, I have a premonition of this. I am afraid there will be outrage at court tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Mi Ke looked puzzled:
"Why is Mr. Filcorn in such bad shape? Isn't the murderer someone else?"
"Miko, this has to do with the identity of the Minister of State."
Hulim explained to her.
"You have to know that even when the royal heirs were fighting fiercely, they would simply remove the other party from a certain position, or find evidence of a crime and eliminate the other party using methods permitted by imperial law. Almost no one would resort to assassination."
"The Minister of State has the power to deploy and assess officials, a position of considerable importance within the empire. The sudden assassination of such a figure would undoubtedly become a major case that would shake the entire empire."
"Since the Parliamentary Secretary was murdered during the investigation at Mr. Filcorn's estate, Mr. Filcorn is bound to be a suspect."
