"Find out this matter before dawn tomorrow, and everyone related to this matter will die."
The old king's hand was under the table, and he held a small pendant in his hand, which was a lion carved from gold. This thing could represent the old king himself to some extent.
Su Xiao took the golden lion pendant, and the reminder of Reincarnation Paradise appeared.
[Reminder: The Hunter has activated side missions. ¡¿
[Sub-task: Charlene's death]
Difficulty level: lv.23
Mission brief: Find the murderer who killed Charlene Herbert within 18 hours.
Task duration: 18 hours.
Task Reward: Gem of Wisdom (Pale Gold)
Task penalty: The trust of the old king is slightly reduced
Su Xiao activated the side mission again, which made him suspect that as long as he was helping the old king, there was a certain chance of triggering the side mission.
Su Xiao spent a full 16,000 points of world merit to exchange for the status of the Iron Hand. The Iron Hand has neither financial resources nor military power. Now it seems that the advantage of exchanging the Iron Hand is not only a higher status, but it may also be helpful in triggering tasks. become.
Princess Charlene Herbert was killed. According to common sense, it is normal for several princes or princesses to be killed or injured in the power struggle. Xiao's temporary power over life and death inevitably makes a fuss out of a molehill.
This is not the case. If other princes or princesses were killed, the old king would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, but Princess Charlene Herbert could not. It was not how much the old king loved Charlene Herbert, but Charlene Herbert was too young for her age.
Princess Charlene Herbert was only 13 years old, and she was a princess acquired by the old king in his later years. This was something no one expected.
Before Charlene Herbert was 15 years old, she would spend her childhood and adolescence in the palace, and she would get a fiefdom after she was 15 years old. However, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that she would get a fiefdom.
This 13-year-old little princess obviously has nothing to do with the power struggle. She is not qualified to participate in the power struggle in name, so her murder is the assassination of a member of the royal family, which must not be left alone.
The old king's expression seemed calm, but he was very angry. No matter who did such a thing, as long as the other party was still in the kingdom, the other party would die. This was a provocation to the royal family and the entire power system.
"Where is the body?"
Su Xiao opened his mouth and talked with the old king. He always cherishes words like gold.
"garden."
""
Su Xiao got up and walked out of the banquet hall, followed by Boubo Wang, the five people who originally pushed the cups and changed the cups, only the old king was left in less than two minutes.
Looking at Su Xiao who was walking towards the outside of the banquet hall, many officials were confused, and those rich businessmen were also deceived, even the eldest prince, the third prince and others were a little confused.
"Third brother, something big seems to have happened in the capital."
The eldest prince came to the prince with a wine glass, with a gentle smile on his face.
"You still smile so hypocritically, you don't know what happened?"
The third prince glanced at the eldest prince, and clinked glasses with the eldest prince. The two were in harmony on the surface, but the content of their discussion was tit for tat.
The departure of Su Xiao and others made the eldest prince and others lose their minds to continue attending the banquet, but the old king was still present, and if the old king did not leave, none of them dared to leave first.
Just as Su Xiao walked out of the banquet hall, five guards in black armor were already waiting at the door.
"So it was you."
Su Xiao glanced at these five people. These five imperial guards acted together with Su Xiao last night. Let alone other things, the execution ability of these five people is at the top level.
Needless to think, these five people were sent by the old king.
"Walk."
Su Xiao took Boubo Wang and five guards and walked to the rear of the palace, where Charlene Herbert's body was found.
Walking on the way to the back garden of the palace, Su Xiao began to think about the general situation of this matter.
First of all, this side mission is different from the previous purge. Although the purge task is relatively difficult, it only needs to kill a few mission targets. You only need to have a strong combat power. The "Submission: Purge" is not difficult.
The current branch tasks are different. This is obviously a reasoning task. According to the past of the Devil Castle World, Su Xiao has a lot of reasoning ability. Although it is not weak, it is above the average level. Body is totally impossible.
Therefore, Su Xiao is already mentally prepared for the failure of the side mission, but he will not directlyGive up, the reward of the mission is a light golden gem after all, the rarity of the gem is needless to say.
After going around in the palace a few times, Su Xiao came to a not too big garden.
There are a large number of vines climbing in the garden, and the old king likes this kind of vines very much.
Stepping on the soft lawn, Su Xiao came to the center of the garden. There is a huge fountain here. The sound of water can be heard far away, and the water vapor makes the garden much cooler. God knows how to build this thing with the technological level of this world.
"My lord, the corpse is here."
Under the guidance of a guard, Su Xiao came to the second half of the garden, where there were several flower beds made of white stones. The faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the air, mixed with a strong smell of blood.
A girl with a height of about 1.3 meters was lying on her stomach beside a flower bed. The girl was wearing a white dress, most of which had been stained with blood at this moment. This was Princess Charlene Herbert.
This is obviously the first scene. A dozen or so guards directly under the royal family are standing by to prevent others from destroying the scene. Their faces are very ugly, because the palace is protected by them. Under their protection, Charlene Princess Herbert was killed.
Su Xiao ignored more than a dozen guards directly under the royal family. They also knew what Su Xiao was here for, so they all stepped aside.
"Let me go over and take a look at Charlene."
A female voice came, and just by hearing the voice, one could tell that she was sobbing.
"Queen, calm down, Lord Iron Hand will find the murderer."

"Go away, go away, what are you doing every day, why did Charlene die in the garden of the palace, she never even left the palace! She is still so young"
Under the protection of a group of guards, a woman who was so sad that she almost fainted staggered forward. Those guards wanted to stop the woman, but they could only kneel in a ball to stop the woman from moving forward.
"Subordinates should die."
A guard wearing gorgeous armor knelt in front of the woman. He was the regiment commander of the guard regiment directly under the royal family. There were many regiment commanders in the kingdom, and the highest-ranking regiment commander was Heslet. Most legions are under the jurisdiction of Hezlet.
The head of the guard group directly under the royal family is called Karen, who is about 35 years old and has a strong body.
Su Xiao squatted in front of Charlene Herbert's body, and he hooked his fingers to a Janitor next to him, and the Janitor immediately bent over.
"Keep them quiet."
"yes."
The imperial guards didn't care about the queen and the leader of the Karen army. He walked up to the group of people and looked straight at them.
"Quiet."
Seeing the Imperial Guard, the face of the commander of the Karen Army changed slightly, but the queen didn't care at all, and continued to cry loudly.
This cry attracted Su Xiao, and he was a little puzzled. If the mother was heartbroken before, then he could understand that now even a fool could see that he was observing the corpse. The real murderer is more important? Don't think that the queens are just ordinary women, they are the daughters of high officials or great nobles.
What made Su Xiao even more puzzled was that Charlene Herbert's body had been dragged. Although the other party concealed it very well, it couldn't deceive Boubo Wang's sense of smell, and judging by the degree of swelling of the queen's eyes, she seemed to be Have been crying here for so long that it doesn't make sense
