Chapter 127 - Finding The Evidence!

Zion was stunned and looked over only to find the elf queen standing in front of him on the other side of the corridor. His lips pressed in a thin line as he averted his eyes and looked on the ground. Thankfully, he came here with a servant who took charge of replying to the queen on his behalf. The elf servant walked a step toward Odina and bowed respectfully before saying, "To reply to your majesty, you're right. This is the new servant, Rupert. I'm showing him around and telling him the details of how he should do his job."

The queen nodded and looked at Zion before parting her lips. "Let's hope you can stand on the ground and keep your job."

Keep your job? What did she mean by that?

When the servant saw Zion frowning, the elf servant nudged him and whispered, "Don't worry. I'll guide you." And then he turned toward the queen and said with a smile on his face. "Your majesty, we shall go on our way."

Odina nodded and turned around to leave the place. Just as she left, Zion released the breath he was holding, and his shoulders relaxed.

The servant elf looked at this kind of expression on Zion's face and chuckled. "Don't worry. No matter what you have heard about Queen Odina, she's a person of good character, filled with kindness and compassion. She will help you as long as you ask for it."

Zion's lips pursed, and he wondered if he asked Odina to release Lia, would she agree? Then a thought flashed in his mind and he frowned as he paused his steps. According to common sense, his system should have popped out after seeing the queen all of a sudden, but why did 007 come here at this time? Did he finally become smarter and more mature?

Just when he was thinking about this, the system popped out and looked in the direction where the queen went off and sighed with emotions. "She's a real beauty. I say, you should forget about the case and go after her."

Zion glanced at the system coldly and ignored him. Sure enough, a dog's tail could never become straight.

After this, the detective got busy working as a servant all day long. In the Vanne kingdom, he had had enough experience as a servant, so he didn't find it difficult to handle humans and work again. Everyone was surprised, and the humans were pleased to finally find a master who could treat them better.

At night, when everyone retired to their quarters, Zion opened his eyes, put pillows instead of himself and covered it with a blanket, and sneaked out of the quarters. There were other servants, but he could successfully sneak away from the quarters before he walked sneakily in the corridor. He used his shadow skills to walk across the corridors in an attempt to find the room of that gentle husband and his wife.

Since he had suspected that husband to be the murderer, he would approach that person first and find some evidence before he could think of what he should do in the future.

Soon he found a familiar throne room filled with sparks of light that shone around the throne. He ignored that and recalled where the man had entered. Then he glanced at the corridor beside the throne and walked over toward that area as he sneaked into the corridor. He deliberately walked into the darkness.

As he was walking, the system couldn't help himself and popped out. "Host, what the heck are you doing?"

"Can't you see?" Zion chose the option of chatting through his mind and said through his thoughts, "I'm trying to find evidence."

"What evidence?" The system frowned and pouted. "You just want to get caught and die, don't you?"

Zion ignored the stupid system and kept walking through the corridor. Soon he reached the area with multiple doors, and started opening them one by one. Just as he was doing that, he suddenly heard the sound of someone's footsteps. He paused and walked back into the darkness and put up his guard before glancing toward the direction, which was deeper into the corridor.

A man wearing a cloak and a silver mask on his face walked leisurely in the corridor as if he owned this place. He even hummed the music in a soft tone while walking. Soon, he passed by Zion's hiding place and didn't even realize that someone was here.

After he was gone, Zion released the breath he was holding and frowned. He glanced at the direction where the masked man went and toward the path from where he came. His lips pursed and he made a decision in an instant. He had already tried following the man, and found nothing. So this time, he would try to find evidence inside the bedroom of that man.

Then his body automatically moved in the direction of the bedroom. After a while, Zion finally found a door that was partially opened. He glanced right and left before opening the door and going inside. There, he found someone soundly sleeping on the bed covered with soft quilts. He assumed that sleeping person to be that elf girl he had met in the throne room that day.

After that, he carefully walked over and glanced around. The room seemed to be filled with luxurious items. There was a hook beside the door on which several hats hung that looked very costly and filled with gems. Even the huge mirror was carved with beautiful designs that shone brightly in the moonlight that came through the opened windows. Then he glanced at the cabinet beside the girl sleeping on the bed and narrowed his eyes. One of the drawers was opened.

Zion walked over and opened the drawer without any noise only to pause his actions. Inside, he saw a silver colored mask placed silently inside the cabinet.

Sure enough. This gentle husband was really the main killer, but if Zion were to call someone right now to show this as evidence, the masked man would turn the tables around for sure saying that someone must have sneaked inside this room to force an innocent person into such a situation. And who knows? That masked man might even end up pointing fingers at Zion, and he didn't want that.
