“The woman from the Ford family who was blocking the road and protesting today was just taken away by the city lord of Cranlis City.”
Isaac frowned and said, “I thought Elon had the Judicial Department investigate this? The woman is captured now?”
“Mr. Hargreeves has conducted the interrogation and reviewed the case files from Cranlis City. He concluded that the accusations made by that woman were false. Finally, Lord Tyrel gave his official approval.”
“Then why did you look for me?” Isaac asked again.
Alcide lowered his head and said, “I believe the young woman from the Ford family is not falsely accusing anyone, but Mr. Hargreeves has already made a ruling, and Lord Tyre] has approved it… I…”
“Is Cranlis City far away from Royal City?”
“It’s less than a two-hour flight away, to the southern gate of Royal City,” Alcide said seriously.
Isaac squinted his eyes slightly and said, “Take two of your trusted men and come with me to Cranlis City. Don’t tell anyone except Elon.”
Isaac turned to look at Allegra, who chuckled lightly and said, “I understand, go take care of your business and stay safe.”
***
Before dawn, Isaac arrived in Cranlis City with Alcide and his two subordinates.
During the journey, Alcide told Isaac that although Cranlis City was not very large, its high elevation and strategic location meant it received significant funding every year. Therefore, being the city lord of Cranlis City was a position with plenty of benefits.
The four of them found a place to stay at a tavern.
Before dawn, Isaac took Alcide and left the tavern alone.
Alcide couldn’t understand why Isaac didn’t go to the city lord’s mansion, but instead came to this alley near the old Ford family residence.
The Ford family was considered well-off in Cranlis City. For many years, they had been in the grain and oil business. It was said that the two elder brothers of the Ford family possess advanced stage abilities in the Blazing Phase.
This was considered quite good; at least compared to ordinary people, they could be regarded as a cut above the rest.
There was a not-so-deep alleyway in front, but on both sides, there were various shops opened for business, and many people were coming and going.
Isaac and Alcide arrived at the Ford family’s home and saw that the front gate was locked with a seal attached to it.
In the next moment, Isaac gently leaped over the wall and entered the Ford family’s estate.
In the large mansion, a heavy sense of death lingered, and there was a faint hint of blood in the air.
“Sir, the woman from the Ford family said that all 17 members of favonovel.com family died tragically at home. Some of them were even disemboweled, which is extremely horrifying… The original file also contains a record.”
Isaac frowned, nodded, and then flew away again.
The two of them walked into the pharmacy next door. The owner, who had a mustache, quickly came forward to greet them. Isaac asked, “Sir, do you know how the Ford family next door died?”
The shopkeeper’s smile instantly froze, and favonovel.com quickly said nervously, “I don’t know, I really don’t know. If you’re not here to buy medicine, please leave.”
“You… This person is actually the Em…”
Before Alcide finished his words Isaac grabbed favonovel.com and walked out the door. Then, the two visited a few more shops.
Just like the owner of the pharmacy, whenever the massacre of the Ford family was mentioned, people would avoid the topic as if they wanted nothing to do with it.
Isaac walked out of a clothing shop, glanced rrp at the blazing sun, and said with a smile, “This is getting interesting. If so many people are all saying the same thing, it seems the city lord must be quite capable.”
At this moment, Alcide also understood Isaac’s intentions and said with a frown, “Sir, solving this case is likely to be very troublesome…”
“It’s no trouble, if it’s a wrongful case, there will definitely be flaws…” Isaac replied.
“Yesterday, that young woman from the Ford family said that on the night of the incident, the city lord’s son barged into favonovel.com house with more than ten people.”
“Are they all dead?” Isaac glanced sideways at Alcide.
Alcide was momentarily stunned, then suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, “I get it now. I’ll go investigate right away!”
At that moment, two men in tunics quickly flew over at a low altitude with a squad of formidable cavalry in purple armor following closely behind them.
The two men, one tall and one short, quickly approached Isaac. They respectfully greeted Alcide, “Mr. Newlin, why didn’t you inform us that you were coming to Cranlis City? The city lord invites you to his residence for a cup of tea.”
