Chapter 30 Redemption

"Drov, you must help me this time."

In the Tonghua District Sheriff's Office, Frenner said in a somewhat embarrassed and anxious manner without even caring about wiping the rain on his body.

"What's wrong?" Drove picked up a cup of hot water and brought it to Frenner, frowned and asked solemnly.

"Why--"

Frenner took Drov's water cup, sighed and couldn't sit on the sofa and told him his troubles in detail.

"All dead?" Drove's expression changed after hearing Frenner's story.

"Yes." Frenner held his forehead distressedly and said, "It would be fine if it was an ordinary person who died, but this murder involved a big man. Now I must come up with a reasonable explanation, otherwise-"

"Who is behind the dead?" Drov asked seriously.

After hearing this, Frenner looked around vigilantly, as if confirming whether anyone was listening. Then he approached Drov's ear and whispered: "It's the Fourth Prince."

"What?" Drov was a little surprised.

"Shh--" Frenner hurriedly made a move to silence.

"How could Ambofen you mentioned be involved with the Fourth Prince?" Delov asked in a low voice when he sat next to Frenner.

"You may know that Feiguang District is the most prosperous area in the entire capital. Shiban Street is the center of Feiguang District's business. Whoever controls Shiban Street means that there are countless profits every year." Frenner took a sip of hot water and slowly explained: "The big people in the capital are coveting such a great interest, and Anbofen is the person behind the Fourth Prince who supports the superiors, but he is dead now. How can the Fourth Prince not be angry?"

"So the Fourth Prince sent someone to ask you for your offense?" Delov said.

"Yes..." Frenner sighed again, "But I can't do anything about this murder, so I came to you to help."

"You look down on me too much," Drov shook his head.

"Of course!" Frenner said with excitement: "Who in our circles doesn't know your reputation in investigating Corey back then!"

"Haha--" Hearing the past, Drov smiled bitterly and said, "Am I still me?"

"Why aren't you?" Frenner seemed to be instigating, and his tone was even more high-spirited: "Although you have been silent for a lot over the years, I know that it is because of the family that makes you steady, otherwise you wouldn't have sat to this position, but you are still you, and your investigation ability and talent cannot be denied by others."

"Do you know? My assistant died a few days ago." Drov shook his head, as if he didn't care about Frenner's praise, raised his head and murmured with a dull look: "He has the same talent for investigation and the same temper as me in the past, but he is dead."

Speaking of this, Drov's eyes were a little wet, his fists were clenched, and his tone was hurt: "Originally he wouldn't die, I killed him. If I had been willing to investigate that case, everything would be different, but I chose to shirk-"

"Do you know? I'm not me anymore." Drov suddenly turned his head and stared at Frenner, with a ferocious expression on his face.

"You—" As if suddenly frightened by Drov's expression, Frenner suddenly jumped away, his voice trembling, "Drov, are you okay?"

"Sorry." Drov shook his head, inserted his hands into his hair and lowered his head and sighed: "I'm a little excited."

Frenner sat back next to him carefully, patted him behind his back and comforted him: "Don't think too much about the past, maybe you can do something to make up for it."

"Make up? Haha..." Drov said bitterly: "All people are dead, what else can I do?"

"Maybe you can fulfill his last wish." Frenner flashed with an inspiration, and he suddenly thought of a connection of persuasion. "For example, this murder may give you some help tips."

"Frenner, you still like to plot against others so much." Drove looked up at Frenner and shook his head.

"Haha--" Frenner smiled awkwardly.

Although Drov exposed his thoughts, Frenner still did not give up persuading: "Looking at how you looked just now, the death of your assistant has become a knot in your heart. If you can't solve it, you will be immersed in this guilt and cannot live in peace in the next life. Are you willing?"

Looking at Drov's silence, Frenner relaxed in his heart, because he knew that the other party had listened to his words and for his future, he had to work harder to instigate him.

"As people get older, they will consider many things, just like you will change your bad temper for the sake of your family, so the family must take it seriously in your mind. However, when something conflicts with the family, you choose a family, but you did not expect the result of the incident to surprise you or even make you sad. You have thought about changing something, but you dare not, you are afraid that the consequences will affect the family. Instead of doing this, you might as well choose to endure the pain alone. Are I right? Drov?"

"If your mouth can be used in investigations, I don't think you will be inferior to me." Drove glanced at Frenner, who was talking and sneered.

"Drov! Don't you really want to change anything?" Frenner suddenly said seriously.

"You said too, there are some consequences that I can't afford." Drov smiled helplessly.

"That proves that you have the intention to change, Drov. In fact, things are very simple. If you can come in handy this time, I think you will definitely get the attention of the Fourth Prince, then your difficulties will not be difficult." Frenner said.

"After all, you still want me to help you." Drove said bluntly at Frenner.

"That's right! Since the result can help two people, why not?" Frenner replied honestly this time without being artificial.

Drove looked at Frenner tightly, his mind never stopped fighting for a moment, and finally, he closed his eyes.

"You won! I'm willing to help you."

"Thank you! Thank you! Drov, you are worthy of being my good friend." Hearing Drov's agreement, Frenner couldn't help but feel a little excited and thanked him.

"But I have the conditions." Drove interrupted Frenner's excitement and seriousness.

“What is it?”

"This operation must be secret, and it is claimed to be your own investigation. If the Fourth Prince cannot provide me with the necessary help, I will stop giving up, even if I suffer much pain."

After hearing this, Frenner frowned a little. He knew that Drove was planning to clear all his relationships and would quit halfway if he was not sure, but Frenner couldn't help it now.

"Okay, let's go to the fourth prince with me."

After saying that, the two of them started to clean up and go out.

In the carriage moving in the heavy rain, Drov picked up the curtains of the window in the carriage. He was a little dazed, and his eyes were constantly filtering out the blurred street scene.

He didn't know whether the decision he made was correct, but if he didn't do it, his heart would be uncomfortable, but now he wanted to retreat.

From what time, I became confused and timid.

He seemed to be looking for courage for himself in the past, and he was also redeeming himself.

"Drov, don't think too much." Frenner, who saw Drov's appearance and thought he had something to do with him, comforted him.

"It's okay, can I open the window?" Drov asked Frenner's concern.

"Yes, but don't drive for too long, otherwise the rain will shave in." Frenner nodded in agreement.

Pull the buckles of the small window of the car, and the joyful rain seemed to have found a new destination, carrying the cold wind in. The warmth inside the car touched the cold outside the car, and the person sandwiched in it was also stimulated to wake up a little.

The low and dim sky sounded muffled thunder, and his vision was still blurred by the rain. He saw a man walking on the street with rain gear.

When a lightning flashed in front of him instantly, it briefly illuminated Drov's eyes, and at the same time he also saw the man clearly.

It was a handsome young man, who looked like a young man from a wealthy family. I don’t know what happened that made him wander the streets alone in such bad weather.

He seemed to feel the attention of people, his eyes pierced Drov like a sharp sword through the rain.

The carriage quickly threw the man behind. Drov quickly closed the small window of the carriage and leaned on him and gasped.

"What happened?" Frenner asked at Drove with confusion.

"Nothing-" Drov shook his head, as if he was palpitations: "I was just frightened by lightning."

The owner of those eyes would never be an ordinary person. The sudden stimulation made Drov sigh in his heart.

Maybe he was a little too sensitive. Xia Lan frowned and thought at the carriage that was constantly blurring in the rain in the distance, but he quickly forgot about this little thing. He needed to go to the Alchemy Association of the Royal Capital to find a pharmacist.

Because the pain inside his body became more and more uncomfortable.

No. 666 Shiban Street, in the lobby of Ambofen's residence.

"Your name is Drov?"

The man who was afraid of Frenner observed Drov for a while and asked.

"Yes." Drov nodded as he seemed a little humble and arrogant, "What do you call me?"

"Losger." After briefly introducing himself, the man glanced at Frenner next to him and said, "I heard that your investigation ability is the best in the entire Royal Guard Hall?"

"I dare not take it." Drov said humbly with his head down.

"I don't want to know about your affairs, but I must explain it here." Losge pointed to the ground and visited the neat corpse, especially the headless body of Ambofen at the fingertips, and said, "Especially his death."

"I will do my best," Drov said seriously.

Frenner, who was beside him, nervously pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered in a low voice: "Old friend, everything depends on you."

Luoslin watched coldly. Things might have been decided in his mind, but it did not prevent him from seeing any interesting things that could be discovered by them.

Drov came to the corpse with a serious expression and observed the scars of each corpse. He frowned a little because the murderer's method of killing was too neat, which reminded him of the deaths of three men in black in Tonghua District and the death of his assistant. The difference was that the weapon this time was a sword.

He didn't know if the murderer would be the same person, but he had this guess.

When observing Ambofen's corpse, Drov was very careful, because he knew that all the attention of the people sent by the fourth prince was focused on him, so he did not miss the observation of the corpse from head to toe.

In the messy house, Drov began to observe the surrounding environment, especially in every damaged place. The results of his discovery made him feel turbulent.

Back to the origin, he closed his eyes, and he was organizing clues of thought.

"Sir Losling, I don't think there are some things that are appropriate." Opening his eyes, Drove looked at Frenner and said seriously.

"Oh—" Luo Slin's eyebrows trembled slightly, as if he was surprised: "It seems you have found a lot of things."

"Yes, there may be some things that need to be verified by you." Drov nodded.

"You go out first, don't let anyone in." Roslin suddenly instructed Frenner, which made Frenner a little confused, but it would be better if he didn't need to stay here. He didn't like corpses, and he didn't like this Roslin.

And everything will be asked to Drov, so he nodded to Drov before leaving.

When Frenner went out, Losling said to Drove: "Now you can say it."

"Sir, I think Ambofen is yours, right?" Drov said seriously.

"Yes." Losling admitted this generously.
