January 1, 140 New Calendar, Bluestone Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day last year, the Kingdom of Byron was at war with Chaoxin, and Maier was on the front line, so the Bluestone Palace did not hold a New Year's banquet last year. This year's New Year's banquet was held on January 1 and lasted for three days. The invitations were delivered around December 20th, and most of the guests arrived at the Bluestone Palace before December 28th, and the rest of the guests also arrived at the Bluestone Palace before the 30th.

At this time, Yue Bing Pavilion will become busy. During and around the banquet, there are at least 500 maids in charge of working in the Joy Chamber. When there are many people working, it is easy for everyone to ignore the companions around them.

It wasn't until the shift change that afternoon that Milan realized that they were missing two people from their team. Both of these men were not very old, the eldest was fifteen years old, and the younger was fourteen years old, both of whom were from Leiting, and there was no record of absenteeism. Milan thought that they were temporarily borrowed by another team, so they didn't send someone to find them.

By evening, the two girls had not returned. Milan realized that something was wrong and hurriedly sent someone to find it. At that time, several teams on duty in Yuebinge said that they had not borrowed people from other teams, but some people had met these two girls during the break, and the maids who rested together chatted about the guests of Yuebinge, and when the rest time came, they went back to work.

After that, no one saw the two girls again. It's as if they've evaporated from the world, and no one knows where they've gone.

The sudden disappearance of two big living people in the Bluestone Palace is not a trivial matter. The Bluestone Palace had already been attacked six times by the Assassins, and if the two missing maids were killed by accidentally bumping into the Assassins, the guests of the Pavilion would be in danger.

After Milan reported the incident, the Guards, Bluestone Palace Guards, and Guards all went into action to search for the Assassins while searching for the missing. The torches everywhere illuminated the Qingshi Palace brighter than day, and the search had only been carried out for less than half an hour, and the guards of the Qingshi Palace found the bodies of the two maids behind the bushes outside the Yuebin Pavilion.

After discovering the maid's body, the bluestone palace immediately went into a state of high alert. All personnel entered the combat positions, the Yuebin Pavilion, the main entrance, and the rear entrance were completely sealed, and the guards brought out the new rifles and ammunition directly from the warehouse, and all returned to the Chosen Pavilion to protect Maier and Maier's family.

About a quarter of an hour later, the King's Escort arrived at the Bluestone Palace. With the cooperation of the guard troops, they launched a meticulous and comprehensive search of the Qingshi Palace. The search continued into the early hours of the morning, during which there were no casualties and no assassins were found. After daybreak, each department counted the personnel of the headquarters to ensure that the Assassins did not mix with the personnel of the headquarters.

Someone was killed in the Bluestone Palace, but no Assassin was found, and everyone suspected that the Assassin had fled, so they searched the entire city of Byrons. The search lasted five days, and the surrounding forests were also searched, and no assassins were found.

On January 2, doctors from the police department were summoned to the palace to examine the victim's body. The two deceased were killed by a single blow, one was torn off the cervical vertebrae, and the other was pierced through the heart with a dagger. The deceased had not fought the murderer, and there was not even a trace of struggle, which is a bit strange.

The doctor did not destroy the scene, he found that the posture of the two deceased was strange, and if the killer did not move the bodies after the killing, then both maids were squatting when they were killed, and their faces were facing the same direction. The doctor found two maids and asked them to crouch on the ground in the same posture as when the deceased was killed, and found that they looked like they were talking to someone.

The bushes next to the deceased were more than 150 centimeters high and 300 centimeters wide, and the foliage was thick enough to cover three or four squatting people. The doctor truthfully reported what he found to the Qingshi Palace, and the Qingshi Palace immediately sent Yu Mingli to investigate the scene. After Tengyuan heard about this, he also came to the scene of the crime and examined the body.

Teng Yuan is not engaged in criminal investigation, but he is a master of martial arts and has a lot of research on the methods of killing. He wanted to find out the strength of the Assassins by examining the corpses, and if the Assassins were too strong, then he would have to transfer the elite warriors to the Bluestone Palace to protect Mair and his family.

Tengyuan was relieved by the results of the examination. The murderer's dagger stabbed accurately, but the force was too great, and the entire dagger except for the grip was completely submerged into the body, causing a deep wound. People with slightly stronger martial arts skills know that things like daggers can't be stabbed too hard. If the quality of the dagger is mediocre, then it is likely to get stuck in the ribs and it is difficult to pull out.

Teng Yuan speculated that after killing with a dagger, the murderer probably couldn't pull out the dagger and kill the second person immediately, so he killed the second person by twisting the cervical vertebrae. Such a mistake is too low-level, and in the same posture, a martial artist with a little strength knows that the best way to kill is to cut his throat. Cutting your throat doesn't kill you instantly, but it can incapacitate you and make you unable to make a sound.

As long as the other party is incapacitated and cannot call for help, you can go up and repair the knife at any time. Moreover, the scene of the crime is relatively remote, and few people will pass by here, and even if they do, they can't see the people behind the bushes. In this case, the murderer doesn't even need to be nervous when he kills, because he has no chance of being detected at all.

If an assassin can't even analyze this thing, then what kind of assassin is he? If the Assassin had analyzed this before doing so, he would have been weak in combat and would not have had too much intelligence.

After Teng Yuan told Yu Mingli his opinion, Yu Mingli also expressed his opinion. She could not think of the murderer's motive for killing the two maids, and if the murderer's target was a member of the royal family or a guest of the Joy Chambers, he (or they) had no reason at all to kill the two maids, because it would make no sense to do so except to expose his (or them's) whereabouts.

Yu Mingli was also puzzled by one thing, that is, why the two maids ran to the scene of the crime and squatted in front of the murderer defenselessly. Yue Bin Pavilion is some distance from the scene of the crime, and it takes about two minutes to walk slowly. It was a remote place, and the victims were young girls, so it stands to reason that they would not have walked this way with strangers, let alone hide behind the bushes with strangers.

One might speculate that the victim was trying to find a place to get rid of him, but this is not possible. The sanitary facilities of the Qingshi Palace are quite perfect, and if you want to get rid of it, you can go to the public toilet, and there is no need to run to a remote place.

If the killer is an insider, it makes even less sense for him (or they) to do so. There are so many opportunities for an insider to do something to the target, and he (or they) don't need to do it to the victim at all, because doing so will only reveal his own identity.

In this way, the only object of suspicion is the guests of Yue Binge. However, if the guests of Yuebin Pavilion want to kill the royal family or other guests, there are many opportunities, and there is no need to attack these two maids. At one point, Yu Mingli even thought of the possibility of vendetta, but this conjecture was quickly rejected by her.

The insiders of the Bluestone Palace have enmity with each other, so there is a possibility of a life case. But if it is a vendetta, this crime scene is obviously not appropriate. The search lasted less than thirty minutes before the body was found. In contrast, there are many better places to hide the body in the Qingshi Palace, and with the murderer's knowledge of the Qingshi Palace, it is impossible for him (or they) to commit crimes in such a place.

All possibilities were denied, and the case reached an impasse. After the news of someone being killed in the Bluestone Palace reached Yuebin Pavilion, Hine and Bifuel immediately approached Maier, hoping to intervene in the investigation of the case.

After surveying the scene, the two did not get any new clues. Their conclusions are completely consistent with Yu Mingli, and the murderer does not seem to have a motive for committing the crime.

Kill just for the sake of killing, is there such a person in this world?

The answer, of course, is yes.

Seeing this, some of the officials may have thought of an object that can be suspected.

Alain, as a friend of Mel, also received an invitation to the New Year's banquet. Alain hated Mel to the point of insulting his wife and killing all his children. It seems logical that such a person killed the maid of the Bluestone Palace out of hatred.

It's a pity that Alain didn't come to the New Year's party. He is planning revenge against Erin in Rimi City, and he will make Erin pay for her actions as soon as Erin returns from Byron City.

There are many people in the world who hate Mary, but the vast majority of them do not have the opportunity to attend the New Year's party. However, Dan Yunhe was lucky, as the director of the defense bureau of Limi City, he got an invitation through Wei Xu's relationship.

Here I can clearly tell you that the person was killed by Dan Yunhe. But he didn't kill for the sake of killing, but for another purpose.

For Dan Yunha, it wasn't hard to kill Maier outright - at least he thought so. But after killing Mehr, he will be killed by Mair's guards, so won't he be able to live happily with Yanhe?

Dan Yunha wouldn't do such a stupid thing, so he wouldn't do it at the New Year's banquet. He wanted to probe the details of the Bluestone Palace during the New Year's banquet, and then send the Assassins to kill Mair.

How can the bottom of the bluestone palace be so easy to explore? Guests staying in Yuebin Pavilion are not allowed to wander around on weekdays, and only those of the level of cabinet ministers can move freely in the Qingshi Palace. Dan Yunhe knew that there was only one opportunity to explore the details of the Qingshi Palace, and that was when he went to the banquet.

The feast on the first day was held in the morning and ended until sunset. Dan Yunhe went to the banquet in the morning and left pretending to be drunk at noon. The banquet hall directly sent two guards to send Dan Yunhe back to Yuebin Pavilion, and he had no chance to sneak away at all. After returning to Yue Bin Pavilion, the two victims came to look after him.

Seeing that the two victims were very young and had no scheming, he lied to them that he wanted to go out and sober up. The two victims refused to let him go, so he said to the two victims, if you don't worry about me, take me around the Yuebin Pavilion, and I will never leave your sight.

When the two victims heard this, they felt that Dan Yunhe should be an understanding person, so they took him out. At that time, the maids of Yuebin Pavilion were delivering lunch to the families of the guests who went to the banquet, and everyone was so busy that no one noticed that the two victims had gone out with Dan Yunha.

As soon as Dan Yunhe went out, he walked in the direction of the banquet hall, and the guards outside thought that he was going to the banquet hall, but they didn't care, and they didn't notice the two victims around Dan Yunha.

Dan Yoon-ha walked and talked with the two victims, and successfully deceived them into trusting. He lied to his victims that he had a treasure to show them. The two victims, both young girls and curious, believed Dan Yoon-ha's words and followed him to the scene of the crime.

After coming to the scene of the crime, Dan Yunhe pretended to hide behind the bushes and squatted, and the two girls squatted opposite the Danyun River. He put his hand in his arms and suddenly pulled out a dagger and killed one of them. It happened so suddenly that the other person didn't even react. Dan Yun-ha wanted to pull out the dagger and kill the second, but found that the dagger was stuck in the body of the deceased. Seeing that the second person was about to come to his senses, Dan Yunhe panicked in his heart, and quickly jumped up and twisted her neck.

Don't look at Dan Yunhe's bravery, in fact, his martial arts level is very average. When Yan He was in the Twenty-Nine Village, he had never taught his subordinates martial arts, so the martial arts level of the officers in the Twenty-Nine Villages at that time was generally very poor. When he was suppressing the Wei family's bandits, he would be cut by the lawbreakers, just because his martial arts skills were not up to par.

Later, Dan Yunhe asked Wei Xu for advice, and Wei Xu taught him some things, all of which were very basic combat skills, and asked him to practice these basic skills well before coming to him to learn other things. Dan Yunhe really has no talent in martial arts, and he hasn't practiced the basic skills taught by Wei Xu until now. Because he was not confident in his skills, Dan Yunhe was very nervous when he killed, so he stabbed people with so much force that the dagger was stuck in the ribs and difficult to pull out, and Teng Yuan saw the clues.

After killing two maids, Dan Yoon-ha dumps the bodies at the scene to investigate the situation. He found that the insiders of the Bluestone Palace were identified according to their clothing and people, and some places must have nameplates or certificates to enter. Dan Yunha's outfit is completely different from the insiders of the Bluestone Palace, and it is easy to spot. He was afraid that he would be discovered by the guards after staying outside for a long time, so he hurried back to Yuebin Pavilion and went back to his room to rest as if nothing had happened.

Before Dan Yun-ha killed someone, he thought that the scene of the crime was a place that would be difficult to notice. He thought that the body would not be found until tomorrow at the earliest, but he didn't want the body to be found that night, and Qingshi Palace also conducted a big search for this. During the search, Dan Yunhe was scared, his weapons did not leave his body, and he was ready to fight his way out and escape from the Qingshi Palace.

However, the Bluestone Palace didn't suspect him at all. Even so, Dan Yunhe hurriedly left the city of Byron on the morning of January 2.
