Chapter 1677: Give Me a Show to Energize Me
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Duke Buckingham has always been a well-known and kind man in the Sun Never Sets Empire. He has done many touching deeds that made the people of the Empire cry.”
“Previously, the Queen made an exception and awarded this exclusive Victoria Cross medal to the Duke of Buckingham. It was to reward him for his decades of gentleness, courtesy, and thrift. Most importantly, Buckingham once risked his life to save her life during an assassination attempt.”
“This medal is worth ten or a hundred times more than any Victoria Cross Medal!”
Isabella spoke frankly.
“Most importantly, this exclusive Victoria Cross has a crucial function.”
“It means that you can make the Queen do something unconditionally as long as it doesn’t violate the Queen’s bottom line and the national interest.”
“Duke Buckingham had always regarded it as a treasure and was unwilling to use it. He was prepared to take it out only at the most critical moment.”
“However, after the accidental natural gas leak and explosion on Queen’s Avenue, he wanted to use this exclusive Victoria Cross medal to ask the Queen to do further follow-up work, but he found that the medal had been stolen…”
Ye Feng listened to her description, he quickly understood the whole story and the main points.
In a sense, this exclusive Victoria Cross medal was similar to the death-exemption gold tablet in China.
Duke Buckingham, a good man, had always treasured this item.
Seeing that the natural gas explosion on Queen’s Avenue had caused so much suffering, he decided to use the medal and ask the Queen to deal with the aftermath, appease the public, and publicize natural gas safety.
However, at this moment, he realized that the medal had already disappeared.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Feng had an idea. “Other than his reputation, what is his status in the Sun Never Sets Empire?”
“Of course, he is very important.” Isabella sounded a little anxious. “He’s a duke from the royal family.”
“He is related to the royal family of the Sun Never Sets Empire by blood, and he has made outstanding contributions to the construction and development of the Sun Never Sets Empire in the early years.”
“In addition, he is honest and kind. He has a very good relationship with Duke Anjou, Duke York, Duke William, and others… His influence is ranked at the top among the Duke families in the Empire.”
“Otherwise, if he lost something, the organization wouldn’t have sent me here to assist in the investigation. Instead, they would have called and handed it over to the police.”
“Bring me along for this operation.” Ye Feng’s expression did not change, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
The man was influential in the Sun Never Sets Empire, respected, and had a wide range of friends…
It was like someone was giving him a pillow when he was sleepy?!
Isabella looked confused. “Bring you along?”
Ye Feng nodded. “I have a friend, he is the king of thieves in Xiangjiang.”
“Under his influence, I learned a lot about theft and pickpockets.”
“Most importantly, I can tell you that I have some clues about the theft of the exclusive Victoria Cross.”
“Bringing me along will be of great benefit to your investigation of the truth of this matter.”
“Really?” Isabella was still skeptical.
Ye Feng smiled. “If you don’t believe me, we can make a bet.”
“If I lose, I will accept your punishment.”
“If I win, you’ll just wear this tight-fitting suit symbolically and give me a show to energize me.”
Isabella was probably in a hurry. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Come with me.”
“Forget about the bet.”
“After you follow me to Duke Buckingham’s house, be careful of your words and actions.”
After saying that, she patted the back seat of her motorcycle and gestured for Ye Feng to get on.
Ye Feng did not sit on her motorcycle.
Instead, he took out his car keys and unlocked his Maybach S680.
After Isabella started the motorcycle, he followed behind.
When Isabella saw Ye Feng driving a Maybach S680, although she was surprised, she did not say anything.
She started the motorcycle and sped towards a park not far away.
Duke Buckingham’s manor was built in the center of a large park.
Isabella parked the motorcycle. When she brought Ye Feng into the park, she specifically mentioned, “This park is called Buckingham Park.”
“It was fully funded by the Buckingham family. Apart from the beautiful scenery, it also contains many charity sites. It’s very famous in Fog City.”
“In addition, the manor of the Buckingham family, other than the residence of the Duke and the core members of the family, is mostly open to the public.”
Ye Feng heard this and nodded secretly.
To be able to open his manor to the general public and tourists, this breadth of mind was indeed extraordinary among the upper class.
And when he followed Isabella into a rather elegant villa and saw Duke Buckingham himself, Ye Feng immediately believed that Duke Buckingham was very popular.
Duke Buckingham looked to be in his seventies.
Although his hair and beard were already white, his entire body was meticulously groomed.
Moreover, at first glance, he gave off the impression of being kind.
It was very easy for people to feel a sense of closeness to him.
At this moment, he seemed very anxious. There was a hint of worry between his brows that could not be hidden.
However, when he saw Isabella and Ye Feng enter together, he still went over to them. “Isabella, you are here, this is great.”
“You must help me.”
“The exclusive Victoria Cross medal is too important to me.”
Isabella respected him as well and immediately answered. “Duke Buckingham, don’t worry. We will do our best to help you!”
“Please tell me in detail the whole process of the theft of the exclusive Victoria Cross Medal.”
“I’ve been keeping the medal in the cabinet of my desk in my study.” Duke Buckingham quickly explained what had happened. “About three days ago, I took it out and gave it a routine cleaning and maintenance.”
“But last night, when I wanted to take it out and ask Her Majesty to do something, I suddenly realized that it was gone.”
“I searched the entire study, my own storage space, and the entire residence, but I couldn’t find it…”
Isabella listened to his description and made note of the key information. Then, she asked a few more questions and went to see the scene.
Ye Feng saw this and observed the arrangement of Duke Buckingham’s house, as well as Duke Buckingham’s words and actions.
It was not until Isabella began to use criminal investigation methods in Duke Buckingham’s study to detect traces of people entering and leaving that she suddenly asked, “Your Excellency, do you remember who entered and left your residence in the past three days?”
