Surrounded by four merchant ships, the Clover armed airship was like a huge cocoon lying on the sea. The buoyancy generated by most of the intact air bags prevented the hull from sinking, and the pods were all pressed below the water surface.

It's just that the cooling of the seawater will quickly reduce the pressure of the airbag, and the airship will soon sink into the sea.

Luke sent people to board the airship's airbag and used ship repair materials and glue to seal the cracks in the airbag to prevent seawater from entering. He then sent sailors to dive into the underwater pod to confirm whether the Empire's gold was still there.

If these guys throw the empire's gold into the sea, it will be a very difficult matter.

The sailors soon returned with good news.

Everything that should be there is there, and everything that shouldn't be there is not there.

very good!

On the sea in the distance, two naval warships were approaching quickly.

The people rescued from the airship also changed into clothes and came to the deck.

Representative Ibor was wearing an ordinary sailor's suit. The rough fabric made him feel uncomfortable all over, and because his belly was too big, he couldn't button the coat.

He still insists on wearing that hat.

The hat seemed to have been simply dried using magic. Although the shape was a little deformed and the color was mottled, it at least covered his sparse hair.

Ibel smelled the greasy sleeves and showed an extremely disgusted expression.

Luke apologized to these big shots in a very gentlemanly manner: "I'm sorry! We went to sea this time to hunt down pirates, and we didn't prepare any clothes. We can only ask you to wear our sailor's clothes."

When we finish handling the affairs here, we will return and I guarantee that you will enjoy a sumptuous dinner in the evening.

Congressman Ibur, and these four magicians, please follow me to the captain's cabin. I have many questions to ask you about the crash of the Clover airship."

Luke walked into the captain's cabin.

Soon Councilor Ibur and four magicians also walked in.

Luke sat down behind the captain's desk, with Shelley standing behind him. Pisco closed the door and stood there. He was so tall that his head could almost reach the roof.

"Please sit down!" Luke invited Representative Ibur to sit across from him.

Kylena brought two cups of coffee and placed them in front of Luke and Councilor Ibur, then invited the four magicians to sit down around the nautical drawing table, and brought them coffee respectively.

"Thank you again..." Councilor Ibur's spirit was much better than when he got on the ship. His narrow escape allowed him to express his sincere gratitude to Luke: "You may not understand what it is like to be on an airship that is about to crash.

Such despair, I definitely don’t want to go through this experience again.

You saved me and many other people of high status, and we will all remember your kindness to us."

Luke replied: "Maintaining the security of the empire and saving the lives of its citizens is the job of our imperial agents. Congressman, please have a sip of coffee, and there are four respected mages... the formal recording of the confession is about to begin."

At this time, Kylena was sitting behind a small table behind Luke. There was a mechanical typewriter on the table. She adjusted the typewriter once and waited for the real-time confession to be recorded.

Councilor Ibur took a sip of coffee, straightened his appearance, and sat upright, showing off the air of a city councilman.

"I'm ready, Inspector Meteor."

Luke said in very formal terms: "Congressman Ibur, after our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau's initial accident inspection of the Clover armed airship that crashed into the sea, it was determined that the accident was caused by an attack by unknown persons.

Since the Clover armed airship is an asset of the Imperial Finance and Taxation Bureau, this time it is transporting imperial taxes. On board the airship are you, an Imperial Lord, a senior official of the Empire, a member of the city council of Raging Waves City, an influential entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and others.

Many imperial officials and their families.

I characterize the attack and crash of the Clover armed airship as a case that endangers the security of the empire. Do you have any objection?"

As Luke spoke out titles one after another, Councilor Ibor straightened his waist straighter, and even wearing a dirty and tattered sailor uniform could not hide his noble "temperament".

"I have no objection, Inspector Meteor! Someone who dares to attack the empire's gold transport ship is a provocation of the empire's majesty. This is definitely an incident that seriously endangers the security of the empire. The criminal must be thoroughly found and severely punished!"

"Yes, we must catch the criminal, but we must give him a fair trial in accordance with imperial law." Luke said honestly and fairly: "As the first team to arrive at the scene for rescue and investigation, the Imperial Secret Service

, we have the obligation and responsibility to take over the investigation and investigation of this case.

You are a senior official of the Imperial Finance and Taxation Administration, a member of the City Council of Raging Waves City, the victim and plaintiff in this case. Our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau needs your official authorization. This is a very good case for me.

Please forgive me for not taking care of your feelings, and please understand mine."

Congressman Ibor understands the feelings of the Secret Service detective.

He must be very happy.

The serious case of the Empire's gold-carrying airship being attacked and crashing is definitely not comparable to the annihilation of a few pirates. Pirates are too much for the huge empire, but robbing the Empire's gold-carrying airship is a slap in the face of the empire, which is not the same magnitude at all.

case.

The Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau has made a great contribution by rescuing the Clover armed airship and scaring away the criminals. If this case can be solved and brought to a perfect conclusion, it will definitely be a shining plus point in Inspector Meteor's work resume.

Regardless of the identity of the victim, members of Iburi are jealous of this case.

If the case was dragged back to Raging Waves City, he believed that the person who wanted to take over the case would definitely form a long queue in his courtyard.

No wonder Inspector Meteor was so eager to sign the commission order.

Representative Ibur said: "Inspector Meteor, although you have just taken office, your performance makes me believe that you are a very capable official, and not just anyone can defeat Representative Vergil.

You are courageous and ambitious, and your subordinates praise you very much.

Your age and your ability make you a very high-quality investment target. I believe that your stage will not be limited to the Cape District, and you can go higher.

I'm willing to provide you with whatever help I can.

Bring me the letter of authorization, this case is yours and no one can take it away!"

Councilor Ibur's answer made Luke get to know this somewhat funny guy again.

It is certainly not easy to be a councilor in Raging Wave City.

Luke waved his hand, and Kylena behind him took the printed letter of entrustment and placed it in front of Congressman Ibur.

Fetched the pen again.
Chapter completed!
