Bradley also saw it, but what was captured on the video were just shadows. Even when there was a frontal shot, the person was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to determine the real identity of the person.

Yelü Qi motioned for the two of them to sit down, but he didn't turn off the video and just let it play.

The maid came to serve tea. After a moment of silence, Yelü Qi finally spoke, "I heard that Your Majesty of Solterra and Your Highness of Solterra have reached a consensus with the investigators from Huaguo. The two of you are responsible for investigating the causes of Mr. Ouyang's and the secretary's deaths. I wonder if you have found any clues?"

These words were full of a probing tone.

Bradley was no ordinary person, and of course, he could tell.

His eyes were cold, and his voice was equally cold. "Since Your Majesty has asked, I'd like to make a request to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty of Solterra, please go ahead."

Yelü Qi's eyes were sharp. He had originally been testing him, but he didn't expect Bradley to indirectly admit it.

No wonder Mr. Su didn't pursue Freya's responsibility. It turned out that they had really formed an alliance.

In this way, the situation of the Yelü royal family was even more difficult. If Leonard and Freya held a personal grudge for past events and smeared the Yelü royal family, then the Yelü royal family would never be able to clear their name even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

Bradley said bluntly, "Since we are going to investigate the case, we need freedom. I hope Your Majesty will allow me and Freya to move around freely in the palace so that we can find clues more quickly."

Yelü Qi didn't expect Bradley to put forward such a condition, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

These two people were already on his list of suspects. How could he possibly allow them to move around freely in the palace?

"I'm afraid I can't agree to Your Majesty of Solterra's condition." After all, Yelü Qi was an elder, and with his high position over the years, he had a sense of majesty that others feared.

Facing Bradley's condition, he didn't beat around the bush and directly opposed it.

Bradley had already expected that Yelü Qi wouldn't agree. There was a sneer in his eyes. "Now that Mr. Ouyang's body is missing, I'm sure Your Majesty must be very nervous, right?"

"Leonard!"

When the other party mentioned this matter, Yelü Qi angrily slapped the table. "Don't think I don't know the ins and outs of this matter. If we want to pursue this, your Solterra still has to give me an explanation."

"An explanation?" Bradley sneered. "Does Your Majesty want to use this video to convict my wife?"

Freya had gone to investigate the case, and she wasn't worried at all that Yelü Qi would investigate.

Moreover, they had been investigating the cause of the death of the envoy from Huaguo in the Yelü royal family these days. Yelü Qi not only didn't show gratitude but also kept picking on them.

Bradley was extremely glad that Freya wasn't Yelü Qi's daughter. Otherwise, with such a father, it would be a lifetime of suffering for Freya.

Yelü Qi didn't expect that the other party had broken into the mortuary but could still be so confident. He clenched his fists in anger and sternly rebuked, "Leonard, don't forget that this is Country Z. Even if I arrest you as criminal suspects, no one will dare to stop me."

Bradley was indifferent to Yelü Qi's warning and gracefully picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Finally, the tea cup shattered in his palm, and the porcelain pieces fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

"Then let's give it a try!"

"You... You..." Yelü Qi was so angry that his face turned dark, and he almost lost his breath.

Freya didn't want to interrupt at first, but the situation was rather severe at the moment, so she finally had to speak up. "Your Majesty, I did break into the mortuary to investigate the cause of Mr. Ouyang's death, but the disappearance of Mr. Ouyang has nothing to do with me."

Now, it might be better to be straightforward about some things, which could facilitate the subsequent investigation.

After all, what they needed most now was Yelü Qi's support. After all, this was Yelü Qi's territory, and if their actions were restricted, they could only conduct the investigation secretly.

In this way, the person behind the scenes would become even more arrogant.

"Attendants, attendants..." Yelü Qi was still angry, and when he saw Freya admit to breaking into the mortuary, he called for people to come and control the two of them.

The queen was right about one thing. This was Country Z, and Leonard and Freya had been acting recklessly on their territory several times, which was a provocation to the authority of Country Z.

If he continued to indulge the two of them in their misdeeds, in the future, all countries would dare to bully Country Z.

"Your Majesty, such a big thing has happened in the palace now. With the strength of your Yelü royal family alone, it's impossible to find out the truth. I think Your Majesty might as well cooperate with us to find out the real culprit behind the scenes as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone else gets hurt, your Yelü royal family will definitely bear the sanctions of the entire international community.

I believe Your Majesty is a smart person and can understand the pros and cons. But if Your Majesty insists on convicting us, then we can only use tough measures and fight against the Yelü royal family to the end."

These words were a blatant threat.

Yelü Qi was so angry that he gasped for breath and leaned weakly against the chair.

Freya knew that his heart disease had flared up, so she quickly stepped forward to give him an acupuncture treatment to control his condition. After Yelü Qi felt a little better, she continued, "Your Majesty doesn't have to regard us as enemies. My master and Your Majesty are old acquaintances, so I will naturally not do anything to harm Your Majesty. If Your Majesty believes in us, we will definitely solve this case as soon as possible and clear the name of the Yelü royal family."

After the acupuncture treatment, Yelü Qi gradually recovered. He looked at the determination on Freya's face and was making a careful consideration in his heart.

Bradley still sat beside them, his expression as calm as ever.

This man seemed not very old, but he had an intimidating pressure that made people afraid. Even he, as an elder, couldn't help but admire him a little.

If he hadn't made things difficult for Mingshuo repeatedly, Yelü Qi wouldn't have ended up in such an opposing situation with him.

"If you want to move freely in the Yelü royal family, Your Majesty of Solterra needs to agree to one condition of mine."

Yelü Qi knew that Bradley had great power. Moreover, the situation of the Yelü royal family was unstable now. Everyone was holding the Yelü royal family accountable for Mr. Ouyang's death. If the real culprit behind the scenes wasn't caught as soon as possible, the entire Country Z would bear the sanctions of various countries.

In this way, the economy would be unstable, and it would also affect the reputation of Country Z.

"What condition?" Bradley raised his eyebrows and asked.

Yelü Qi took a breath and said, "Country Z is now being criticized by various countries. I want Your Majesty of Solterra to stand on the side of the Yelü royal family and stop all the public opinion for us."

So...

Yelü Qi's intention was to rely on Solterra as a backer?

Freya couldn't help but admire Yelü Qi's scheming. At this time, he still wanted to use the power of Solterra to bring peace to Country Z.

However, they urgently needed to find out the truth now, so in the end, they still had to agree to Yelü Qi's condition.

"Sure."

Bradley readily agreed.

It wasn't difficult to stop all the public opinion for the Yelü royal family. The key was that they could get the freedom to move around in the Yelü Palace, and this deal was worth it.
