"Begin!" Overjoyed, Connor silently ordered in his mind, "Let's begin.
"Beep! Mission established, estimated time required, 61 hours and 38 minutes! "
"Three days?" Connor touched his chin. Although it was a little long, it was still acceptable.
"After the analysis is completed, transfer it to my memory!" Connor ordered.
"Beep! As you wish! "A cold female voice sounded in Connor's mind.
The next morning, Connor, who had finished a whole night of deep abyss meditation, slowly opened his eyes. He frowned slightly and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
"Thud! Thud! Thud! … "
His power of the will sensed that there were two people walking towards his apartment on the street. After he became a beginner apprentice, his power of the will had greatly improved. Connor discovered many wonderful uses of his power of the will. For example, his power of the will could be used to detect things. However, due to the limitation of Connor's level, Connor could only detect that there were two people walking towards him, but he didn't know who they were.
"Knock! Knock! " Before Connor could think further, there was a light knock on the door of his apartment. The light knock showed the good manners of the guest and the respect for the host.
"Mr. Ferguson, are you there?" After politely knocking on the door of Connor's apartment, a magnetic male voice came from outside the door.
Although he didn't know who was looking for him early in the morning, since the other party knew his name, it meant that they were here for something. Connor straightened his robe and opened the door. "I am Connor Ferguson …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Connor's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole although there was no expression on his face. At this moment, the two people standing in front of him were wearing the standard black uniform of the Kahman Empire police force. Furthermore, from the star on their shoulders, these two people were not ordinary police officers, but mid-level supervisors of the police force!
There was a touch of bitterness in his heart, but Connor quickly concealed the abnormality in his eyes. "May I know who the two officers are?"
"I am Loen Police Department's Inspector Rodri, and this is my partner, Trainee Inspector Keane. We are here to find Mr. Ferguson to understand the situation!" A middle-aged police officer in his forties took out his ID and said politely. At the same time, a young police officer in his early twenties standing beside him also showed his ID.
Glancing at their IDs, a smile appeared on Connor's face. "Officers, please come in. The door is not a place to talk."
"Do you want something to drink? I have tequila, vodka … "After inviting the two officers to sit on the sofa, Connor asked.
"Mr. Connor, no need. We are not allowed to drink during working hours!" Rodri replied with a smile.
"That's a pity." Connor shrugged. "I just woke up and haven't had the time to eat breakfast. Officers, you don't mind if I answer your questions while eating breakfast, right?"
"Mr. Connor, this is your home. Please help yourself!" Rodri smiled.
"Thank you very much!"
Ten minutes later, Connor sat at the dining table with a plate of fried eggs, milk, and bread.
"I didn't expect Mr. Connor, as a noble, to know how to cook?" Officer Rodri said with some surprise. Even the young police officer, Keane, who hadn't spoken since he came in, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Breakfast? I live alone, and I can't go to a restaurant for every meal, so I have to cook some simple food to fill my stomach. Officers, please don't laugh at me! "Connor said with a self-deprecating smile.
"No, no, Mr. Connor, you've done a great job. I'm just curious why you don't hire a maid to cook for you. To be honest, Mr. Connor, you're the only noble I've ever seen who cooks for himself!" Officer Rodri said frankly after hesitating for a while.
"As you can see, I'm single right now, and it's easy to misunderstand if I hire a maid," Connor explained. However, it was obvious that his explanation wasn't enough to convince the two police officers. Officer Roderi, who was more experienced, didn't believe him, but Officer Keane, who was younger, didn't believe him at all.
With an awkward smile, Connor continued, "Of course, the most important reason is that I'm in a financial situation …"
"Mister Connor, as far as I know, the monthly rent for the apartment you're living in is at least 5 gold guineas!" Officer Roderi's grey pupils stared fixedly at Connor's face as he spoke in a meaningful tone.
With a smile, Connor calmly took a sip of milk and said calmly, "Officer Rodri, if you've done your research, you'll know that when I came to Loen two years ago, I paid the rent for this apartment for four years in one go! If it's possible, Officer Rodri, why don't you tell me why you're here? As a noble of the Kaman Empire, it's my duty to help the police with cases. "
"Ha-ha, actually, it's nothing. Your classmate from Green University, Miss Rebecca, went missing recently. Her mother, Ms. Naya, reported it to our police department. We learned that Mr. Connor and Miss Rebecca are close, so we came to you. Mr. Connor, do you have any clues?" Officer Rodri touched his bald head and smiled gently.
"Rebecca went missing?" Connor opened his eyes wide and stood up from the table. He couldn't believe it. "I was wondering why she didn't come to school these days. It turns out that she went missing. Officers, you have to find her!"
"Mr. Connor, please calm down. We're trying our best to find Miss Rebecca!" Officer Rodri and Keane looked at each other. Officer Keane, who had been silent all this time, said in a deep voice.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Connor slowly sat back on the bed. He thought for a while and said, "Since you've found me, it seems that you already know. That's right, I admit that I pursued Rebecca and hired a detective to investigate her!"
"Mr. Connor, may I know why you hired a detective to investigate Rebecca?" Officer Keane asked.
Connor looked at Keane like he was an idiot. He said impatiently, "I told you that I pursued Rebecca. Why do you think I hired a detective to investigate Rebecca? Of course it's to investigate what Rebecca likes to eat, what kind of clothes she wears, what kind of jewelry she wears … Do you understand? "
