The detective is dead, I did it.

Chapter 56 The President with a Deduction Background

Lina stood up from her chair, seemingly preparing to leave.

"There's one more thing," she suddenly said. "When the Third and Seventh Branches set off a week later, come along too."

When she said this, she was looking at Li Ang, so it was clear that she was saying it to him.

"The president wants to see you." She then added a special explanation.

Leon paused for a moment. He subconsciously turned to look at Charlotte, who simply shook her head slowly.

"The president wants to see me?" Li Ang pointed to himself and asked, somewhat puzzled.

I just awakened my sequence ability later in life, so is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

Li Ang was puzzled.

"Yes," Lina confirmed.

Why?

"have no idea."

Lina's answer was crisp and concise, so crisp that it didn't seem like she was just giving a perfunctory answer.

"The president didn't say why. Her exact words were, 'Bring that young man here, I want to see him.'"

"I remember that the president has rarely met with outsiders in recent years. He even rarely attends the association's regular meetings, and most affairs are handled through written documents."

Charlotte then spoke slowly.

Why did he suddenly want to see my assistant?

"Who knows? Who can understand what she's thinking? Anyway, it's not a big deal."

Lina really couldn't understand why the president wanted to see Charlotte's assistant in person.

Although the other party is the first case of an armed detective who awakens after birth, it is not something that is particularly difficult to accept. Maybe after a while, another armed detective who awakens after birth will appear?

It's impossible to say for sure about these things. Just make sure the other person isn't a cult member.

She had also checked Li Ang's identity; he was clean, neither a superpowered criminal nor a cult member, and with Charlotte's recommendation and guarantee, his identity couldn't be cleaner.

"Can I refuse?" Li Ang asked.

"Okay," Lina answered quickly, as if she had prepared this answer beforehand. "The president also said not to force you."

These words made Charlotte's eyebrows twitch slightly.

Why did she get the feeling that the woman had anticipated the possibility of Li Ang refusing?

Based on her understanding of the chairman, she had never seen him so easy to talk to before, and even willing to leave room for Li Ang.

Given the other party's status and position, there should be no need to leave room for anyone. But she did, which means that for Li Ang, this matter was not an order, but more like an invitation.

However, in her opinion, an invitation was more troublesome than an order.

Charlotte then turned to look at Leon, without urging him, and simply said, "It's up to you."

Li Ang thought for a moment and then said, "I'll go."

The main reason is that we'll inevitably run into each other eventually, so it's better to meet now.

Although he really wanted to ask the president what she wanted to see him about, Lina had already said that she didn't know either, so asking would be pointless.

Lina nodded. "I'll send a carriage to pick you up that day."

"No need," Charlotte's voice chimed in from the side. "I'll take him. And give those guys a ride too."

Lina glanced at her. The two women's eyes met for a moment in the air, exchanging some information that Li Ang couldn't understand.

"Alright then. I'll take my leave now." Lina withdrew her gaze and turned to walk towards the door.

After watching her leave, Li Ang turned to Charlotte and asked, "What kind of person is that student council president?"

"She's hard to describe." Charlotte hesitated for a moment. "You can't see through what she's thinking, but the moment she looks at you, you feel like all your thoughts are laid bare."

She had always suspected that the student council president possessed some kind of mind-reading ability, but the president simply wouldn't admit it, and Charlotte couldn't do anything about it.

"You should know that since its inception, the president of the Detective Association has always been an armed detective."

Li Ang shook his head. He had only truly witnessed the efficiency of the Detective Association today, let alone its history.

"The Armed Detectives control the fighting force, and the foundation of the Association's military strength lies in their hands. Therefore, it is only natural that the position of Chairman should be held by the strongest and most prestigious person among the Armed Detectives."

"This is the rule, and the tradition. From the first to the eleventh, there have been no exceptions."

"And she was the only exception."

"She is the first president in the association's history to come from a detective background, and she became the president of the association entirely on her own merits without any connections."

Li Ang asked instinctively, "The armed detectives...respect her?"

He hadn't forgotten the conflict between detective detectives and armed detectives. The thought of having a detective as his boss was something he wouldn't accept.

"Whether they submit or not is hard to say," Charlotte said sarcastically, "but it's enough that they're willing to follow her arrangements."

You know the temper of armed detectives; someone like Shirley is considered to have a better temper than most of them.

"I find it hard to imagine that armed detectives would be willing to follow her orders."

"Because the president is stronger than them," Charlotte gave an unexpected answer.

She didn't say what was so strong about her. Li Ang wanted to ask further, but seeing her pursed lips, he knew she wasn't going to explain any further.

A detective specializing in deduction, with non-combat abilities, has taken the position that should belong to an armed detective, and has held it for so long. There must be some unknown secrets hidden behind this.

"I'm suddenly regretting accepting her invitation."

After listening to the detective's boasting, Li Ang suddenly began to worry.

If that woman could see through my dual-sequence identity at a glance, she might really drag me away for dissection and research.

After all, you can't be sure what strange abilities these detectives possess.

"Don't worry." Charlotte seemed to sense Li Ang's concerns and comforted him, "Just treat it normally. Even if she really does have mind-reading abilities, she won't discover your dual-sequence identity as long as you don't want to."

"How often have you met her?"

"There are quite a few. But they're usually not good things."

Charlotte said with displeasure, clearly disapproving of some of the president's actions.

"Every time she wants to see me, it means she has some troublesome thing for me to do. Last time it was investigating the serial disappearances in the East End, the time before that it was dealing with that cult stronghold in Liverpool, and the time before that..."

"Okay, I understand." Li Ang quickly interrupted her, "So, will you still go next time she calls you?"

"Of course I'll go." Charlotte pouted, her gaze towards Leon filled with disdain. "Although these things are troublesome and complicated to solve, only I in the entire association can solve cases! After all, I'm the famous detective Sherlock Holmes!"

Charlotte puffed out her small chest after speaking, looking incredibly proud.

To this, Li Ang could only applaud and say, "That's truly remarkable."
