I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Claire Leavitt.

Levitt of Levitt Trading Co., a long-established musical instrument manufacturer in the empire.

His hometown is in the old capital of Saint-Jacques, and he still has a good reputation in the music industry. Rean's old classmate Eliot's family has many musical instruments made by the society. It is not a small company, but it is deeply involved in a specific field. enterprise.

Claire is the eldest lady of the club, the apple of the eye of the former president.

Normally, Claire, who has been gifted since she was a child, should have studied business and music with her father, and taken over the family business when she was almost old - if that hadn't happened.

Ten years ago, guided vehicles had just entered the civilian field. Claire's father became one of the first to try them because the family was not short of money. Then he accidentally collided with a transport vehicle.

As a result, Claire's father, mother, and younger brother all died, leaving only Claire who miraculously survived.

What's even more coincidental is that the transport truck was stolen, and the driver fled directly after the accident, making the incident an unsolved case.

Afterwards, Claire was adopted by her uncle who was the vice president at the time and later took over as president.

This uncle has two children. The eldest son’s name is Michael, who is currently the dean of the second branch of Torz. He and Claire are cousins.

When she was adopted, Claire was still young and didn’t think much about it.

Her uncle's family had a very good relationship with her own, without the aristocracy's nastiness and infighting. After being adopted, her uncle, aunts, and cousins ​​were all very kind to her, and Claire has always been grateful to them.

But as time goes by, the doubts in the incident trouble Claire more and more.

Is it really such a coincidence?

There is no clear legislation guiding the transportation sector.

A cold case with all the clues broken.

And why she was the only one who survived.

Miracle? Man-made?

Two guesses were swinging left and right in her mind like two ends of a scale.

Until an opportunity arises.

Not long after being adopted, Claire gradually came out of the haze of losing her family and went to sort out her father's belongings.

In the process of sorting it out, he discovered the account books from recent years.

Strange things happened.

Even though she had no special knowledge in accounting, Claire still saw the problems in the account books at a glance.

Levitt Club is one of those companies that has no big ambitions and at the same time maintains a rare conscience among businessmen. It takes the high-quality and low-price route. Unless it is made of high-end materials or designed by a master, it will never sell at a high price.

However, there are many records in the account books where the revenue far exceeds the cost, and they are all very recent.

Claire, who became suspicious, looked through all the ledgers while analyzing the meaning.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that while some people are passing off inferior products in the high-volume market, they are also using fake products to pass off as master treasures in the high-end market to make huge profits.

According to the records left by his father, this man is the uncle of the former vice president and current president.

The father wanted to persuade his uncle, but at this moment, the accident happened.

The balance in her heart settled, and Claire came to her uncle angrily.

Under Claire's questioning, although his uncle was surprised, he admitted straightforwardly.

This was because Claire lacked direct evidence and had no backing, and her uncle had already established a connection with the great nobles through his interest chain of impacting the high-end market.

"It's useless even if you make a noise. Instead, people will become suspicious. Why are you the only one who survives?"

Claire, who was still a child, almost collapsed, unwilling and very sad.

How can people be so shameless? Is this still the amiable, brotherly and respectful uncle in my memory?

Our family has always regarded you as the closest person, but you——

Are the happy times we spent in the past all fake?

Just when Claire was helpless, the adult appeared.

"Your father and I were friends during the military academy. Although I care, I am busy with official duties and I deeply regret that I came so late..."

This man was Rean's biological father, the later "Iron Prime Minister" Gillias Osborne.

Somehow, he had seen through all the truth. (Actually, it’s not that difficult to guess. You don’t need to look at the account book and just do some random research. Even with the intelligence of the prime minister, you can get a pretty good idea.)

On the contrary, he was surprised that Claire could find out the truth, and noticed Claire's talent.

"Should your kind be called 'holistic synesthesia'...the ability to instantly grasp the whole and its parts? This innate talent appeared due to accidents. It would be more reasonable to think like this -"

"I originally wanted to decide this matter myself, but I changed my mind. Do you want to use your ability to avenge your parents and brother?"

Claire was afraid and hesitated.

At the age of just ten years old, this is natural.

It would obviously be easier to leave the matter to that adult, but the smiles of her father, mother, and her brother, who were as important as treasures, lingered in her mind.

Finally, she made up her mind to follow Osborne's advice and collect evidence that would establish her uncle's guilt.

The background, motivation, disguise, executor... these things that had been buried under the water for a long time were actually found out by her. She herself found it incredible.

In the end, decisive evidence was formed that even the judicial authorities could not erase. In the end, it even alarmed Marquis Haines, and the nobles who had interests involved with his uncle also stopped.

As a result, after a fair and strict trial, the uncle was sentenced to death and the company was awarded to Claire.

Successfully avenging the whole family can be said to be a great victory.

But in Claire's eyes, this was actually a lose-lose situation. She lost her "family" and "hometown".

I felt ashamed to face the family who had lost my uncle, especially knowing that my cousin had changed his mother's surname to Irwin.

So, she handed over the "management rights" of the company to senior employees (note that it is the management rights, that is, the owner is still Claire, not short of money, but the rich woman does not have it), and she entered the Osborne Recommendation in order to repay the favor. , Thorz Academy located on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

After graduation, he joined the newly established Railway Military Police and became the "Ice Maiden" one of the "Iron Sons". This led to the current Major Claire Levitt.

"This is my past."

In the short narration, the bottle of wine had reached its bottom, and Claire's face gradually turned red due to the accumulation of alcohol. She was put on the ground, hugging her knees with her hands, and exhaled a long breath. .

"Originally, I didn't plan to tell you about this unbearable past... But maybe it's the moonlight tonight and the wine you brought that made me no longer like myself... I'm sorry for letting you see a strange thing. I."

"No, on the contrary, I saw another side of the major, the most real Claire Levitt." Rean shook the red liquid in his hand with a warm smile, "I also knew the reason why the major would follow him, and Why is there always a blue melancholy beneath the frost of the 'Ice Maiden'?"

"……Well……"

As if being electrocuted, Claire's body trembled slightly.

Rean continued his efforts and struck while the iron was hot: "Major Michael is also... very worried about Miss Claire. Although he always speaks in a stern manner, there is no doubt that he is worried about you."

"Yes." Of course Claire knew that she was a very sensitive person. "Although it was just an accident that we entered the Railway Gendarmerie, as a senior and colleague, he helped me a lot... But I don't think so. I have that kind of value, but I let my hatred control me and let my uncle suffer the death penalty without mercy..."

"No." Rean interrupted, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I really can't help it. Claire Leavitt, you are a major of the Railway Military Police, and you have extremely high law enforcement powers in the empire. Soldier, did I say something wrong?"

"Yes, but why do you say this now?"

"Major, what is the most important thing about a law enforcer?"

"Strictly abide by the law, be fair and just...ah..." Claire somewhat understood what Rean meant.

"You or your uncle, who is breaking the law? Is it you?"

"no."

"What would you do if it happened not at the Leavitt house but at the house of some other unrelated person?"

"I will bring the perpetrators to justice."

Honesty is still Claire's honesty.

"However, this is not only a legal issue. Even if my uncle is a criminal, he is an irreplaceable relative to my brother, aunt, and cousin. Because of me, they lost him forever. Ten years ago, they all Blame me, after all I did such a thing, you should hate me now."

"No." Rean shook his head, "Major, I discovered a weakness of yours. The more people you care about, the less effective your 'holistic synesthesia' will be. If I really hate you, why would Major Mihail I want to help you, worry about you, and want you not to be trapped in the past ten years ago. If I really hate you, shouldn't it be that the more you blame yourself, the happier he will be? "

"Ah...this..."

"The biggest difference between humans and monsters is that humans have emotions and are easily influenced by emotions. Ten years ago, when I suddenly lost my family, it was normal to say something like that. I also went through a similar period, but humans also have rationality. When emotions are gone, After the explosion, start to think slowly, you will understand who is right and who is wrong.

In the final analysis, the cause of the matter was your uncle's selfish desires, not his greed. You will not lose your loved ones. In the end, it was all his fault. From the perspective of relatives, it is not strange to blame you, but as long as they understand some sense, they will not really hate you, because it is their closest relatives who have caused you to suffer so much pain, and it is your uncle. I owe it to you all. "

After all, Claire has lost three relatives, and you are the only one. Although human lives should not be measured by quantity, it is clear at a glance who has suffered more damage.

"If you still don't believe it, you can go directly to Major Mihail, ask your aunt and cousin for confirmation... Wait, speaking of which, I met a woman by chance while performing missions in various places. Her name seems to be Ishara. ·Irwin, I never thought about this before, she is——"

"——Yes, she is brother Mihail's sister, my cousin."

PS: Unexpectedly, Rean's operation is very cool.
