Chapter 404: Finding the Murderer
The next morning, outside Conriley's room, a ten-captain yawned, as if he hadn't had a good night's rest.
One of the soldiers said to the Ten-Commander, "Captain... The Duke's body has been taken away, so what do you want us to do here?"
"This is the order of the commander-in-chief," said the commander of the ten, "You think I want to be here, the commander of the thousand is helpless now, the king asked him to find the murderer, but he can't find it, so let us stay here, it's just a number of thoughts, thinking that the murderer will still come here." ”
"No," said the soldier, suddenly remembering something, and said to the ten-captain, "Captain, don't say it, but I think about it now, isn't there another person in our squad? ”
It's impossible, the Commander of the Ten took a good look at the soldiers guarding here, not to mention, there is indeed one person missing, where did he go? The Commander of the Ten Commanders thought for a while and thought about it, and said, "Well... It's really one less, Xiao Chen... The duke's death, yesterday we were tired, and we forgot about Xiao Chen for a while, this kid also asked me the night before yesterday for the key to the slave cell, saying that he wanted to teach the slaves in the lesson, the slave's affairs, I don't bother to care, as long as I don't die, you don't say, I haven't remembered, this kid went the night before yesterday and didn't come back, TMD··· He also told me to be lazy, let us work here, you look at it here, I'll go to the prison where the slaves are kept, and see what he's going to do. ”
"It's the captain," said the soldier, "we can't let him be idle, we'll do the work." ”
The ten-captain looked unhappy and walked towards the cell.
The dark passage outside the cell allowed the ten-strong men to approach the cell slowly with careful steps.
Suddenly, his eyes saw the open prison door, "What's the matter?" The ten-captain ran to the door of the cell in a few steps, "Run?" The footsteps took a few steps inside, the light in the cell was very weak, and the ten-master scolded: "This bastard, is it possible to dare to let the duke's slave go, it's okay... The duke is dead, and this matter will not be mentioned, but this kid is such a fuck bastard, he is not small, and I will scold you when you come back..." As he spoke, he turned his body and glanced briefly at the cell, then walked out.
But as soon as he took two steps, his heart trembled and he stopped, "There are still slaves who haven't run?" He turned his head sharply, and looked into the darkness, where a gray figure was lying on the ground, but the back of this shadow seemed to have more things that the Terrans did not have.
The Tenth Master's eyes widened, and he rushed over in some horror, "It's Xiao Chen..." Seeing clearly that it was his own soldier lying on the ground, the ten-captain squatted down and touched Xiao Chen's throat, "Dead... MD No wonder I haven't seen him since yesterday, he died here, but who killed him?slave?" The ten-captain looked around again in disbelief, "They all ran away, if they were killed by slaves, these slaves are not easy, Ivanake..." The Ten-Captain remembered the Ivan Ke who was locked up here, "I have to go and tell the Commander-in-Chief, maybe it may have something to do with the Duke's death" The Ten-Captain quickly stood up and walked out of the cell.
······
"Driving" the commander pulled the horse rope in his hand wildly, rode the hot horse all the way to the palace, and hurried to see Concinda.
In the study, Concinda stood by the window, looking out, wondering who had killed his own brother.
"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door, and a figure walked in.
The figure who walked in said to Kang Xinda: "Father... Find out who killed your uncle?"
"No," Concinda shook her head, "have you already had the gates blocked?
"Yes Father," said Kangina, "Father ordered me to do it yesterday, and I have already ordered the city to be sealed. ”
"Did this murderer just evaporate?" Concinda turned to Congina and said, "The search in the city has not found any suspicious person. ”
"Don't worry, father," said Kangina, "the murderer of my uncle will always be found." ”
"The king... There's news," the guards outside the door suddenly shouted outside.
"Come on in," Concinda shouted happily.
The door was opened, and the commander entered, saluting first to Concinda and Congina, and then saying, "Tell the king, I have found new news, which may be related to the death of the duke..."
"Speak quickly," Concinda said urgently.
"Yes," replied the commander, "this morning my men found that one of their men was missing, and went to check the slave's cell, but found that the soldier was dead, and that all the slaves in the cell had run out..."
"Smack"
When Concinda heard this, she snapped the table unhappily, "I'll let you find the murderer, what do you say a dead soldier is doing with Conriley's slave?
The commander waited for Kangcinda to finish speaking, and then continued: "Your Majesty... The slaves were all tortured by black and gold shackles, and it was impossible to use fighting spirit, how could they kill the soldiers and escape? Previously, a subordinate said that the night before yesterday, the duke got a slave with great strength and good skills, and said that it might not be this slave who killed the soldiers, and then these slaves ran out, and there was a slave in this group of slaves named Ivanake, he used to be a guard in the duke's palace, and then the duke used a trick to turn him into a slave, I just thought, Ivan Ke hates the duke, so after running out, will he kill the duke. ”
"I didn't expect that..." Kangcinda said: "My brother has done this kind of thing, you have analyzed it very well, but it doesn't make sense, in terms of strength, the Ivan Ke you mentioned, a former guard, can't kill my brother." ”
The commander continued: "But their group of slaves, and 4 of them are mercenaries captured by the king, and they also ran away, will it have anything to do with them, because no outsiders have been found in the city, and there are very few outsiders recently. ”
Concinda looked at Kangina, and immediately stood up and walked out, shouting, "Follow me." ”
Kangina hurriedly followed.
······
The guards at the city gate were still at the city gate, performing their duties, followed by three shadows on the ground, and when they looked up, they saw Kangcinda and Kangina, as well as the commander falling from the sky.
"Your Majesty," the guards saluted.
Concinda asked, "Did anyone go out of the city yesterday morning?" ”
"Yes" The guards remembered very clearly, because at noon Kangjina came to order the closure of the city, and there were only a few people out of the city, "A total of 6 people went out of the city." ”
"Who are they?" Concinda said excitedly, "When will you leave the city gate?"
The guard continued, "It looks like an ordinary civilian, one wearing a short and simple coat and trousers, and the other five are all robes and not wearing mercenary uniforms. ”
"Are you sure that no one in mercenary uniform will leave the city?" Concinda continued to ask.
"Returning to the king... "I remember very well, not long after we opened the gate, they came to the gate, and only the six men had left the city yesterday. ”
"Is there another wingman?" asked the commander.
"Yes," said the guard.
The commander looked at Kangcinda and said: "Back to the king, I think those mercenaries and Ivan Ke will not be wrong, they will leave the city after opening the city gate for a while, they must be fleeing for their lives, and there is another unknown slave, the death of the duke, which is somewhat inseparable from them." ”
"Find them for me" Concinda said angrily, "Send people to find them, and you must find them for me." ”
"It's the king," replied the commander, "I'll take people out to find them now." ”
"Kangjina" Kangcinda looked over, his face was not good, "You disappointed me again this time, you don't have your own opinions, why didn't you ask the guards at the city gate yesterday." ”
"I'm sorry father," Kangjina bowed her head and apologized.
"You know what these mercenaries look like, you can go with me to find them," Concinda said, waving his hand.
"It's my father" Kangjina followed the commander of the thousand and prepared to set off with the troops.
