All the dried fish in the empire belong to Princess Elvis

Chapter 126

Juanjuan turned to look at the old man Xia Mu pointed at, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?"

Just as Xia Mu wanted to explain, he suddenly realized that the eyes of the surroundings were focused on this end, so he didn't answer, tugged at his curled sleeves, and then walked towards the empty porch.

Juanjuan had also calmed down at this moment, knowing that he had to avoid suspicion in front of the public, so he didn't follow immediately, but turned around and smiled at the people present, and patted the arms of the two policemen beside him: "Thank you for your hard work, come on."

The policemen immediately returned to their respective positions and continued to "come on", and then Juanjuan followed Xia Mu's porch slowly.

Xia Mu has been staring at the hall at the corner. As soon as Juanjuan reached the corner, she was dragged into the porch by her outstretched claws.

As soon as the two entered the corridor, they were eager to talk——

"what happened?"

"An old painting from the museum is missing!"

"I know that, but how did you get involved in this matter?"

"I want to know too! There is a security guard in the museum who said that he saw me in the security department on the afternoon when the famous painting was stolen, and then the monitoring system of the entire museum failed!"

"What were you doing at the museum that day?"

"The problem is that I didn't come at all! I stayed at home all week, and my mother didn't let me go out at all during those few days. Don't you know that?"

"I know, I know." Juanjuan replied with a blank expression: "It's not a big deal, maybe that person just remembered it wrong, or he wanted to trouble you, I'll take care of it."

"I also don't think it's a big deal. I didn't want to contact you at all, but just now, something big happened!"

Xia Mu took a deep breath to calm down, and then told in detail what happened to the old spy just now.

Juanjuan looked very shocked. After listening, he turned around and walked to the corner, pointing to the old agent not far away, and confirmed to Xia Mu: "Which agent are you talking about?"

Xia Mu followed up to take a look, and immediately pronounced the verdict as if to say: "It's him!"

Juanjuan didn't speak, just stared at the old man dumbfounded.

Xia Mu asked anxiously: "Is he your father's confidant? What's his name? Juan Juan? You speak!"

Juanjuan looked at her sideways: "Did he really say that to you?"

"It's absolutely true!" Xia Mu was a little anxious: "He admitted that he helped His Majesty arrest my father and detain the guards. He said it himself!"

Juanjuan nodded, "You wait for me here."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xia Mu to respond, he quickly walked out of the corridor and walked to the old man.

Xia Mu couldn't hear what the two said over there, but the old man nodded respectfully, then followed Juanjuan into the workshop in the southeast corner.

-

"Forgive my Highness, I really don't understand what you are talking about."

The workshop was temporarily cleared, and there were only two people left in the room.

Duan Zitong leaned back against the edge of the desk, squinting sideways at the old agent who was standing upright, his eyes were sharp, as if they wanted to pierce through his skin.

"You better know who you're working for,"

Because of Xia Mu's accusation just now, the anger in His Highness's heart has begun to erupt belatedly, and the old man's innocent expression has become the fuse, making Duan Zitong reprimanded in a low voice: "Framed and slandered My master, are you worthy of your father's trust in you for so many years?"

The old man showed a look of vicissitudes of pain on his face, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, there were wet marks in the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

His voice was slightly hoarse, but he raised his head, showing an arrogant and stubborn expression: "Your Highness, I have made mistakes in my work over the years. I may have failed His Majesty's regard for me, but I have never failed Your Majesty's trust! Do your best."

Duan Zitong was even more furious when he heard the words, stood up abruptly, walked in front of him, raised his index finger in anger and put it on the tip of his nose, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't pretend to be in front of me, you lied that you were kidnapped by the order of your father." Xia Mu’s father, it’s nonsense! What’s your relationship with those Moshas? What’s your relationship with the national treasure theft and smuggling case!”

The old man closed his eyes slowly, swallowed, and replied in a low voice: "I really... don't understand what you are talking about. I know the parents of that Miss Xia, but I haven't said a word to her personally."

The atmosphere was condensed, and the two stood facing each other without giving in.

Duan Zitong suddenly raised the corners of his mouth: "I see, the ghost, the ghost of the Secret Service, this makes sense, it seems that her parents are really innocent, it was you from the beginning—"

Before the old man could remember, he saw the little crown prince stretching out his hand to him like lightning, and then there was a sound of "呵啦"——

When he lowered his head, he saw the logo of the Chief of Staff of the Secret Service on the collar of his suit, which was torn off by His Highness.

The old man raised his head in surprise. The usually docile and elegant little crown prince was holding his chin sullenly, staring at him, raised the logo in his hand, and protested to him: "I won't let you get away with it for too long."

The old man was silent for a moment, then said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, forgive me, that Miss Xia said that I just talked to her, are there any other witnesses?"

Duan Zitong sneered: "You deliberately brought her into the surveillance corner of the corridor, but now you turn around and ask me if I have evidence?"

"Long corridor?" The old man's gray eyes lit up, and he immediately retorted: "I have never entered the long corridor, since I entered the museum, I have never left the hall."

Duan Zitong chuckled softly: "Why didn't you just say that you weren't in the museum just now?"

The old man looked at the monitoring screen on the entire wall of the workshop, and raised his finger, "Your Highness, you can ask someone to call up all the monitoring from the time I entered the museum to the time I entered the workshop with you, I have never entered the corridor. "

Because Xia Mu said exactly that she followed the old man into the promenade, naturally there could be no falsehood.

Duan Zitong didn't expect that he even wanted to deny this, so he sneered contemptuously and raised his hand as a gesture of please.

The old man strode out immediately, asked the staff to enter the room, and called up the surveillance video just now.

The video began to play, and the eyes of the two closely followed the figure on the screen.

The workshop was silent, like a silent duel.

It didn't take too long to watch the video, because Xia Mu said that after the old man entered the museum, he immediately led her to the corridor, which only took about 5 minutes.

However, Duan Zitong watched the surveillance video helplessly——

At the beginning, it was exactly as Xia Mu said, the old man walked three or five steps away from Xia Mu, and was looking at the artwork.

But then, Xia Mu in the video suddenly turned around and walked towards the corridor alone.

The old man remained where he was.

As he said, he never left the hall the whole time.

This silent duel had already been decided when Xia Mu ran into the corridor alone.

Duan Zitong's face turned pale, and he still stared at the video stiffly, until more than ten minutes later, the self in the video rushed into the museum in a panic.

No one spoke.

The old secret agent has served the royal family for more than 30 years, and he is able to sit in a high position. He naturally knows that at this time, no matter what he says, it is tantamount to slapping the little crown prince again.

He could only stand quietly aside, waiting to be dealt with.

At this moment, Duan Zitong wished that the world would evaporate in the monitoring room, the recording was over, and he had to face the reality.

His Highness lowered his head and turned around, picking at the badge of the chief of staff, took a step forward with a disheveled face, and carefully put the badge back on the old man's collar, while helping him straighten the collar of his suit, he explained in a low voice: " Sorry, I... just a little..."

"Please don't mind, Your Highness." The old man was still respectful, but in order to alleviate the crown prince's embarrassment, he still said one more sentence: "When I was young, for almost three to five years, I lost all reason and gave up my studies because of a girl. Leaving home, I was three years older than you at that time, everyone will have such a stage, in retrospect, it is actually something to be proud of."

His Royal Highness Egg Roll doesn't really want to be defined as an idiot who "lost his mind for girls", but this reason is a step given by someone kindly, so he quickly got off if he could, smiled awkwardly, and apologized again: "I'm disturbing your work ,Go ahead."

The old man nodded and said hesitantly: "I'm worried that you will be deceived. There are some things that should be known. Although I have never dealt with that Miss Xia, I know her parents. Her father is a man who can do things." Human, low-key and down-to-earth, my mother is also an excellent agent known for her agility, but..."

"but what?"

The old man sighed: "Her mother had a flamboyant personality when she was young, and she used to show off to her colleagues about...some private affairs with... your mother. I happened to be in charge of her department at the time. After hearing those rumors, I returned them to her. Punishment and warning can be regarded as the end of the beam. I don't know if that Miss Xia's slander against me today was entrusted by her mother."

Duan Zitong frowned slightly, barely suppressed his dissatisfaction, and explained in a low voice: "Xia Mu doesn't know you at all."

The old man pursed his lips and smiled: "Only she knows if she recognizes her or not. Your Highness, I know I shouldn't talk too much, but I sincerely hope that you will not lose the judgment you were proud of in the past because of your emotions." .”

-

Xia Mu waited anxiously in the lobby, and finally saw Juanjuan walking out of the work room with his head bowed, and the agent came out soon after, and then bowed to Juanjuan and said something.

Xia Mu saw that Juanjuan patted the old man's shoulder gently.

What's the matter?Xia Mu was surprised.

When the two parted ways, Xia Mu immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter? What did he say?"

Juanjuan looked at her strangely, hesitated to speak, paused for a while before opening his mouth: "I'll send you back to rest first, I have to ask about the situation here, and I'll talk about it at your home later."

Xia Mu was very anxious at the moment, frowned and said anxiously: "Tell me what he said first! You want to kill me? He caught my father!"

Juanjuan took a deep breath, "Let's go back and talk about it."

Xia Mu was taken aback, and subconsciously turned his head to look for the figure of the old agent. Soon, he saw him not far away, talking with other agents, but his eyes glanced over here from time to time.

Xia Mu had a bad premonition, pulled Juan, and hid in the bathroom of the promenade camera. After making sure that no one was there, he asked vigilantly, "Juan, did he tell you something? Did he say something?" What excuse did you find to slander me?"

"You go home and rest first."

"You tell me!"

Juanjuan looked at her silently, and after a while, he said in a frank and deep voice: "We watched the surveillance video, and he never entered the corridor you mentioned."

The air froze for a moment.

Xia Mu's mind went blank, and he froze for two or three seconds before he understood what Juanjuan said.

"Impossible...you take me to watch the video!" Xia Mu immediately turned and walked out, but Duan Zitong grabbed her wrist.

"Don't read it, I read it back and forth three times, there is nothing wrong with it."

Xia Mu turned her head eagerly: "It's fake! Juanjuan! He must have tampered with the video! Believe me, I can hear his voice."

"But you said earlier that he used a voice changer."

Xia Mu choked up when he heard the words, stared at Juan in a daze, and after a long time, said with difficulty: "Juan, you don't believe me?"

Juanjuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied softly: "No matter what, I will protect you."

Xia Mu clenched his fists and repeated in a trembling voice, "I ask you if you don't believe me!"

There was an oppressive silence.

Just when Xia Mu was about to collapse, Juan suddenly bent down and kissed her lips.

She was slammed into the sink by Juan, and her back was pressed against the mirror.

With a sound of "Gudong", the mirror was crushed so hard that it was about to burst.

Intense love instantly filled the air of tension.

Xia Mu's tense body softened, and her lips and teeth were teased again and again...
