I! Cleaner!
Chapter 203 - 203: 0176 Royal Secret_1

"Thank you, I will do my best to cooperate."

After stealing another glance at the Red-haired Director's lips and confirming that the lipstick color matched the half lipstick stain on Leon's collar, Princess Veronica's eyes flickered slightly before she spoke,

"Director, although I'm not an employee of your Purification Bureau, I thought about it last night and felt that there might be issues with three people. I wonder if you'd be open to hearing my thoughts?"

*Your thoughts?*

From the beautiful woman opposite him, the Red-haired Director sensed a slight hostility. Narrowing his eyes, he subtly controlled a strand of hair to press Leon's hand onto the Black Goat's forehead, signaling him to check the princess's soul state. With a smile, he nodded,

"Of course, or rather I should say it's very welcome. Having a target to investigate is far better than searching aimlessly."

"Then I appreciate the opportunity."

Controlling herself not to think about the lip stain and the lipstick, Princess Veronica took a deep breath and then, with a furrowed brow, recounted,

"First, there's a grandmother-granddaughter duo. Since I visited privately yesterday, I was very cautious and had close contact with almost no one except Mr. Lyon. The only exception was in the servant kitchen on the west side of the Ryan Family estate.

At that time, Mr. Lyon was pursuing rebels, and it seemed like he wanted to replenish something in the kitchen. I was outside the kitchen coaxing a little girl named Phoebe, and during that time, she patted my chest a few times. When Mr. Lyon came back out, he no longer recognized who I was.

Later, when Mr. Lyon forgot about me and left on his own, I wanted to ask him why, but Phoebe's grandmother called me over, and I couldn't stop Mr. Lyon in time. I suspect her grandmother did it on purpose.

Also, although there's a big age difference between them, the elderly lady named Lucy claimed to be Phoebe's sister, and the little girl Phoebe seemed to genuinely regard her as her sister. I find these two people very suspicious."

*A strange grandmother-granddaughter duo calling each other sisters?*

Exchanging a glance with Leon, who was touching the goat's head, he received confirmation from the princess's eyes that she was not lying. The Red-haired Director pondered for a moment, then nodded and continued to ask,

"Very valuable intelligence. Do you remember what that grandmother-granddaughter duo looked like?"

"I do."

Princess Veronica answered confidently,

"The elderly lady named Lucy had a very hoarse voice and a slightly hunched back, looking about sixty or seventy years old. The little girl named Phoebe had a round face and was small in stature, about six or seven years old, with very special eyes, having a kind of... hmm... how to describe it?"

After frowning in recollection, Princess Veronica uncertainly said,

"Like a... very pure feeling, but not the kind of innocence a child has. Children have emotions and thoughts in their gaze, but that child's eyes gave a feeling of... hmm..."

After recalling together with her, Leon hesitantly added,

"Clarity of stupidity?"

"Yes! That's exactly it!"

Glancing at Leon, Princess Veronica nodded and said,

"That child was like a clean piece of white paper, seeming less intelligent than kids of her age, but not genuinely stupid. It was a strange blankness from having experienced too little, knowing nothing."

"Understood, it's indeed very valuable intelligence."

Looking at Jerry, who was also in thought, the Red-haired Director gave him a look to immediately investigate, and after firmly memorizing the information, he gently continued questioning,

"And the third person?"

The third person...

Hearing this, Princess Veronica hesitated for a moment, seeming somewhat reluctant, but eventually spoke,

"The third suspicious person is my brother Joshua. Although he hasn't shown any abnormalities, I don't know why, *but I always have a feeling that he seems involved in this...

Uh... let's forget it, just pretend I didn't say that! After all, if this matter is really related to Joshua, considering his and his mother's dislike for me, I fear I might have already been eliminated.*"

"I see."

Looking at the princess who raised but then dismissed the third suspect, the Red-haired Director, still composed, nodded and then smiled and gestured towards the door.

"Princess Veronica, if you have no other information to provide, then it's time for the Purification Bureau to work. Please wait for a while in Leon's office.

Please don't misunderstand, we aren't trying to hide anything from you. It's just that you are now forgotten, so the royal family's handbook on soul silence might not work on you anymore. Attending our meeting might bring additional danger, and I hope you can understand."

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Princess Veronica nodded, stood up, and left the room. When her footsteps faded down the corridor, the Red-haired Director immediately began assigning tasks,

"Jerry, have your friends go to the Ryan family's kitchen, record all the auras that appeared there at noon yesterday, and compare them one by one to quickly locate that grandmother-granddaughter duo calling themselves sisters.

Then notify Emma to temporarily set aside other tasks for the next two days and remain on alert at the bureau. If there are any traces of rebels, act immediately and bring them back!

Finally, Leon, after you deliver the hair, immediately take my note to the Royal Palace and investigate Prince Joshua properly. See if he's tied to this matter!"

"Understood."

After listening to the tasks assigned by the Red-haired Director, Jerry immediately left the room, while Leon hesitated for a moment and suggested,

"Director, if possible, could I swap tasks with someone?"

"I'm afraid not."

Hearing this, the Red-haired Director shook his head and said,

"You're the only one in the bureau now who can tell lies, and you're the best person to investigate Prince Joshua."

"..."

*It's not that I think the task arrangement is inappropriate, it's mainly because yesterday I punched that guy hard and even spat on his face. I'm afraid he might not cooperate with me...*

"Leon, trust me, that woman is extraordinary. Her intuition is something to be taken seriously."

Looking at Leon, who still showed some reluctance, the Red-haired Director said earnestly,

"If she really is the princess, then she's a direct bloodline of the Twelve Royal Families. And the Twelve Royal Families... hmm... let me put it this way, if you trace back far enough, the royal families of the existing Twelve Kingdoms could be considered part of the Purification Bureau."

"Huh?"

"It's true."

Glancing at Leon's astonished face, the Red-haired Director hesitated for a moment but eventually explained,

"Including the now-destroyed East Carleighwen Kingdom, the ancestors of the royal families of all kingdoms were once the overseers of the Watcher's Palace, possibly even including its creators. It was due to the achievements of their ancestors that the Purification Bureau agreed to the pact with the Twelve Kingdoms, even making concessions in some areas.

Most royal families of each kingdom inherited some abnormalities from their ancestors' bloodline, and there were frequent intermarriages among them, leading to some outstanding direct blood descendants having more or less some special abilities even without anomalous objects.

Leon, listen to me. If I'm not mistaken, Princess Veronica might have special abilities manifested in intuition, so if the princess thinks Prince Joshua is problematic, he most likely is, and it's worth your effort to investigate him properly!"
