At four o'clock in the afternoon that day, in the mansion of Iron Hand.
People came out of the courtyard one after another. Su Xiao was sitting behind a desk with dozens of pieces of parchment in front of him.
"That is to say, you are the last person to see the little princess?"
Su Xiao threw down the parchment in his hand, and looked up at a maid kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"Yes, my lord."
The maid was tense, her breathing was short of breath, her heartbeat soared to over 140 beats per minute, and she was deliberately hiding something.
"Come here."
Su Xiao opened his mouth, and two guards walked into the room, he waved his hands, the two guards were a little dazed, and the maid kneeling on the ground was also dazed.
"My lord, what should I do"
A guard spoke in a low voice, using words very carefully.
"Killed."
"Huh."
The two guards were taken aback for a moment, while the maid knelt on the ground.
"I I just stole the princess' tiara, I, I don't have to die, woo"
Obviously, what the maid tried her best to hide was this big thing.
"Take it away."
Su Xiao rubbed his forehead lightly, he has already got many similar useless clues.
"My lord, you want her to"
A guard put his palm in front of his neck and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Imprisoned."
Su Xiao leaned on the seat, this is the most troublesome task he has ever encountered, none of them, so far he has not found any clues, the little princess seems to be killed by a 'ghost', there is no one left at the scene clues.
Just when Su Xiao had a headache, a guard pushed open the door.
"My lord, we have a clue."
A guard handed Su Xiao a wooden barrel as thick as an arm, with the logo of the royal family on it, which shows how confidential this thing is.
Su Xiao opened the wooden barrel, and a roll of parchment slipped out of it. After seeing the contents inside, the doubts in Su Xiao's heart suddenly became clear.
After the investigation by the detective named 'Nonista Ford', it was not someone else who killed the little princess, but the leader of the Karen Army.
Su Xiao had also doubted the head of the Karen army before, but there was a big difference between the opponent's height, weapon and killer.
Su Xiao still has an impression of the gaze of the leader of the Karen Army before his death. It was a very helpless and angry gaze.
According to the detective's written description, Su Xiao knew what was going on. When the incident happened, the head of the Karen Legion bowed and stood behind the little princess, and pierced the little princess's chest with an impromptu weapon.
As for why the little princess didn't scream, it was because she covered her mouth and tried her best to endure the pain.
When Su Xiao saw the text description of 'the little princess covered her mouth', his idea was to get the detective, give him a chance to rearrange his language, and let him say it again in front of him.
But seeing the detective's subsequent description made Su Xiao dispel this idea. This is a master of detective reasoning.
The follow-up description that Su Xiao saw was that the 13-year-old little princess was actually pregnant! What's even more outrageous is that her mother is also pregnant. You must know that the old king is 65 years old, and the hardware is basically not allowed.
A pregnant mother and daughter, who is their lover? Normally speaking, it is unlikely that they are the same person, but given the degree of openness of this world, this possibility cannot be ruled out, the 'information volume' is too huge.
"I see."
The thoughts in Su Xiao's mind suddenly became clear. This was not a murder at all, but a good show written and directed by someone.
The little princess and the queen died on purpose in the back garden. The death of the little princess was to attract Su Xiao, and the queen's drinking of poison was to delay time. He was forced to do this. Afterwards, the bodies of his family members were found in a stinking ditch, and the whole family died neatly.
A pair of mother and daughter performed this good show with their lives. There are two most critical points, one is the place where this good play takes place (the royal palace), and the other is the time of this good play (the old king entertained all the officials, wealthy businessman, princess, prince, etc.).
At this point in time, if a member of the royal family was killed in the back garden of the palace, Su Xiao, who is the Iron Hand, would definitely be there immediately, which would lead him away from the old king.
The main purpose of the opponent is ready to come out, that is to assassinate the old king and the officials in the banquet hall, rich businessmen, princes, princesses, etc.
If these people die at the same time, the power system of the San Sordin Kingdom will be paralyzed in an instant, and the kingdom may even suffer from this incident.?? Destroyed.
The moment he learned that the little princess had been killed, the old king immediately issued an order to let the head of the Kingdom Army, Heslet, rush to the front line immediately. At this time, the old king had vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Heslet has followed the old king for many years, and he immediately understood what the old king said, so after he left the banquet hall, he did not go straight to the front line immediately, but summoned all the guards with the secret order given to him by the old king. The five imperial guards waiting for Su Xiao at the entrance of the banquet hall are a small part of them.
After sending Hexlet, the old king's next move made the attacker's plan die directly in the womb, that is, to send Joe Valentine to blockade the capital and leave a secret order. If he dies today, The eldest prince will temporarily ascend the throne.
Joe Valentine is not going to block the capital at all. He manages all officials and knows their functions clearly. He is trying to prevent the collapse of the power system.
The old king made some 'gaffe' in the end, and poured out a glass of poisoned wine in his hand. For this glass of poisoned wine, those assassins carefully arranged for 2 years, and the king's assassination plan completely failed.
I have to say that Jiang is still old and hot. The old king didn't go to the first seat in the banquet hall, which surprised the assassins. When sitting near Su Xiao and others, the old king would only drink Su Xiao and Heslet The two of them drank the wine in the jug, because the old king knew that both of them were strong and had a terrifying insight into toxins, and his cup was the one that Hexlet had used before.
The old king's series of on-the-spot responses made the assassins have no chance to make a move. They did not dare to attack the palace in a fair manner, otherwise they would not "sacrifice" the mother and daughter, so as to attract Su Xiao's attention. Lead Su Xiao away.
Their chance is only a few minutes, but within a few minutes. The banquet hall was surrounded by hundreds of Janissaries.
Although the old king who has ruled the kingdom for more than 40 years is just an ordinary person, he is not so easy to kill. This is an old lion, an old lion that even Su Xiao is a little afraid of.
The person who arranged this matter is definitely thoughtful, and such people are generally very proud, so it is very likely that they cannot accept such a thorough failure.
"This old lion."
Su Xiao rested his elbows on the wooden table and clasped his hands in front of him.
At this moment, Su Xiaohu stood up, and he thought of a very important point, that is, when the old king said that the little princess was killed, the first person to speak was not Hexlett, nor the consul Joe. Valentine, but Kingdom Treasurer Rowan Harvey.
Before the old king gave the order, Rowan Harvey whispered a few words in the old king's ear, and then the old king let Rowan Harvey leave to deal with the follow-up matters of the raid.
Su Xiao now really wants to know what Rowan Harvey said at the time. Although the house raid is very important, the murder of the little princess may cause riots in the capital, which will affect the collection of Elvie Anthony's wealth, but he was the first to propose to leave Rowan Harvey in the Ballroom is suspicious.
That feeling seemed to be looking for a legitimate excuse to leave the banquet hall.
Although the little princess died at the hands of the head of the Karen Army, the real culprit was not the head of the Karen Army, but the mastermind behind the scenes. Su Xiao's mission goal was to find out the mastermind behind the scenes
