Loki knew that Katharina was waiting at the door, and he was a little surprised to know that she was standing directly outside her door.

When Kathleen heard Loki's words, she became furious. "You made this princess wait for you outside for over an hour. Are you going to let it go just like that?"

What does that have to do with me, Roche thought, or is it something I want you to wait for?

He replied, "Princess, you can't incriminate me for anything. The Empire didn't make it illegal for you to bathe for more than an hour."

He changed the topic: "Princess Kathleen the case of Ike Abbott has a breakthrough. It could be a big breakthrough. Would you like to hear about it?"

Loki finally managed to distract her.

Catherine replied, "Is that so? If your progress satisfies me, I won't bother with you about it. "

Loki smiled and led Kathleen to a stone table in the courtyard. They each found a stone chair and sat down.

When Kathleen sat down, Roche said, "Today, Kathleen and I went out to sea."

Without waiting for Roche to continue, Kathleen said, "No wonder you didn't come back for a day. You went out to the sea. Could Ike Abbott's death have something to do with the sea monster? "

Loki said angrily, "I say, can you listen to what I have to say? "Ji Ji, ji, si, ji." "The two of them chatted privately, so Loki didn't use honorifics.

Kathleen didn't know what that meant, or she would have fallen out.

Kathleen finally stopped talking.

Lodge organized his thoughts and said, "I understand that taxes have been reduced a lot since Ike Abbott came to Meris. "I don't know much about the imperial authority, Catherine. Can you tell me that Ike Abbott has the right to determine the official tax?"

Kathleen felt Loki's serious attitude and replied seriously, "No, the official tax is decided by the mayor. Ike Arbeiter had only the right to monitor, not the right to decide. Ike Abbott has the right to report the tax rates of the city lord if they do not conform to the imperial rules. "

Roche tapped the table with his fist and said, "Good, that's right. This explains the drop in the official tax. Kathleen, think about it. We can make an imagination. In the past, Meris City had a very high official tax, and Ike Arbeiter was appointed by the royal family as the censor. Everyone in the city knew that he did things seriously and impartially. So when he came to Merrith, the mayor, Ian Yarrow, had to lower his taxes to deal with Ike Arbeiter. Today, I also heard from Kathleen that Ike Arbeiter's relationship with the mayor, Ian Yarrow, was not what everyone thought they were, that they were ostensibly friendly. So can we not assume that the mayor, Ian Yarrow, had a grudge against Ike Arbeiter for lowering his taxes because of his existence? Then he found a chance to kill Ike Abbott. "

Catherine felt that Rocky's analysis made a lot of sense, and even if it wasn't as Rocky had imagined, there were a lot of questions.

After a moment's thought, Kathleen said, "Roche, what do we do?"

There was nothing she could do about Kathleen. She only had exceptional military skills, and that was not her specialty.
