"So how do you explain that Nanali is still alive? Since even the princess dared to kill, there was no need for the other party to stay alive. And you also said that Mariana would never have been killed so without resistance. Schunezel made a hypothetical rebuttal.

"Sister Cornelia had said that on that day Princess Mariana personally requested that the number of guards be reduced to a minimum. But it happened that he was attacked by terrorists on this day, didn't the royal brother feel too strange? ”

In the face of Kamiyu's rhetorical question, Schunezel was already confident, and took Camillu's words and said lightly

"Suppose that on that day, Princess Mariana originally wanted to secretly meet with someone at the Aries Palace, and then was attacked and killed by the other party during the meeting. In this case, Nanali's reason is easy to explain, they need an eyewitness to 'witness' the death of Princess Mariana at the hands of terrorists. ”

Yes, if Mariana had been assassinated so quietly, then there must have been someone in the know who could guess who the real culprit was, so it would be better to put it on the pretending terrorists.

"Judging from the photo, Mariana was shot in the back, which means that she gave her back completely to the other party. So, the person who shot must have been someone she trusted? With Schunezel's own reasoning, everything suddenly became clear.

That's right, a battle-hardened person like Mariana can easily expose her back to others at any time, and that's the only reason why she can be defenseless.

"Did His Majesty the Emperor do it? No, it wasn't the Emperor's Majesty who did it," Schunezel began to speculate repeatedly as he muttered to himself.

"If it is His Majesty the Emperor, he will act in a full set of large-scale raids, and then take the opportunity to bring down a few big nobles. But His Majesty had no reason to kill Mariana so secretly, and His Majesty's reaction after that was also very abnormal. The anger that followed the first bad news was not a lie, it was the same when the order was given to convene the Imperial Council, but only a few days later, the Emperor's attitude was not a 180-degree turn, and he became indifferent to Mariana's death.

In other words, His Majesty the Emperor has already guessed the truth of the matter, but he has given up the investigation for unavoidable reasons, and it can be seen that the real murderer is very familiar with His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness Mariana, no, it should be said that they trust each other. His Majesty the Emperor no longer pursued the death of Mariana, indicating that the identity of that person is more important than that of His Royal Highness Mariana. In this way, Honezel had roughly deduced the whole context of the matter.

"The point is, how do they get Nanali to give testimony that matches the testimony on the spot?"

"I've already asked Monica to go to the medical department and secretly make a copy of Nanali's injury report and bring it out." Kamiyu pulled out a few papers. "It shows that the nerve in the leg is damaged and cannot be repaired. The mental stimulation was too great, coupled with the eye injury, and it was judged to be blindness. The point is, this mental stimulation is too much."

"That is, the stimulus causes the memory to be confused and it is impossible to recall what happened at that time?" Schunezel immediately understood what this meant.

"It's not over yet." Kamiyu said suddenly, meaningfully. "Your Majesty the Emperor, no one has been punished this time!"

Yes, in the face of such an outrageous event, the one on the throne did not even make any move. This in itself was a silent roar, as if to say: I already know that you did it, and that Mariana's death would not have been so easy.

"That's why the entire upper echelons of the empire are in a state of panic!" Schunezel rubbed the bridge of his nose and began to complain helplessly.

"By the way, Her Royal Highness Mariana's body was handed over to the imperial brother by His Majesty, right?" Kamiyu suddenly asked such a question.

"If you want to pay attention to anything, forget it, I was just ordered to secretly transport the body out of the palace, and then it was taken over by His Majesty's subordinates." Schunezel's expression was more serious than ever

"Kamiyu, this matter is over, don't try to find out the truth, there are still too many things in it that we don't understand, it's too dangerous for us now."

"I understand." Kamiyu nodded and put the computer back.

He knew enough about Mariana's death, because no one else in his hands knew about it.

If you continue to let the model calculations in Kamiyu's computer continue, you will find that there will be a long list of data at the point where the bullet is fired.

It reads: According to the calculation of the angle of incidence and elevation of the bullet, the trajectory of the bullet is too low, and the firing height is between 70 and 80 centimeters. Based on this calculation, the shooter was about 120 centimeters tall.

Based on the analysis of ballistic dispersion, it was concluded that the shooter used a directional continuous strafing to fire all 25 rounds at once. Verdict: No formal military training (regular soldiers will use several rounds of bursts.) ), and weak arm strength. (Note 1)

To sum up: the murderer is suspected to be an ordinary child with a height of 120 cm and no military training.

The Empire's 'Shining Mariana' was killed by a child who was even younger than herself. Such an absurd conclusion that Camillo was reluctant to tell anyone such an inference.

[As one of the three major powers in the world, the water of the royal family of Bunitania is still as deep as ever! Camillo, who had ended his memories, thought to himself and looked up at Cornelia beside him

[However, even in such an environment, it is possible to have such sincere feelings for relatives. I really hope that this touching truth can be maintained forever.]

People are subject to change, and in this royal family, there will be countless temptations. For the sake of the high green jade throne, I don't know how many brothers and sisters who are now very good will turn against each other.

Even if he is not interested in the so-called throne at all, but the identity of the prince alone determines that he will not be able to get out of this whirlpool, and maybe one day he will be involved in it, right?

"This incident should be a conspiracy related to His Majesty the Emperor, judging from the fact that His Majesty has not made any action at present, he already knows who the real culprit is. So, please don't be impulsive, this matter is over. ”

"Is that the end of the matter? Princess Mariana's revenge! Conelia was not reconciled, her hands clenched tightly into fists, and her knuckles clenched.

"Our strength is still too weak now, and getting involved in it will only lead to disaster, and the royal sister and Yuffie need to be taken care of."

The first half of Kamiyu's sentence was extremely insincere, he had never seriously cared about Mariana's life or death, and the reason why he intervened in the investigation was only because he was curious about the cause of her death and wanted to see what kind of person could kill her. When it turns out from speculation that he died behind the back of someone he trusts, the only bit of interest disappears.

If Cami wants Mariana to find the real murderer for revenge, he won't play this kind of game that will lead his peaceful life into endless trouble.

"So, until the imperial sister has enough strength, please be patient." He took one of Cornelia's clenched hands, trying to make her relax, for fear that she would accidentally break her hand. Conelia's cold palm made Camillo clearly perceive her inner struggle at the moment.

Cornelia took a deep breath, her clenched fists finally loosened, and she turned to look at Kamiyu, her free hand on his head, rubbing it gently.

"Thank you, Kamiyu. I know what to do, even if it's for Yufie" looked at Kamiyu in front of him, as if he felt that he had said something rude, and hurriedly added

"And of course, for our family's lovely Kamiyu. It's been so hard for you."

"Don't treat me like a child." Kamiyu was unhappy and wanted to slap off Cornelia's hand on his head, but this action and expression attracted more laughter from the other party.

"Na!" Camillo suddenly asked Cornelia with a straight face, "Sister Huang, will you change?" ”

On the road to gaining power and power, many people will be intoxicated and lost in the pleasure of power and power, and forget the original intention. And this is also the root cause of the brewing and producing tragedy. Camillo didn't care if the others would change in the future, but there were only a few people who made him care a lot, and Cornelia was one of them.

Staring into the sincere eyes cast by Camillo, Cornelia read the true meaning of the words in the other person's eyes.

"Sister Huang promised you that it would never change no matter what." As she spoke, Cornelia held out the little finger of her right hand.

"Hmm."

A large, slender little finger and a petite and soft little finger hooked together.

Just when Cornelia wanted to leave, she found that Camillo, who had been pulling her since just now, didn't seem to want to let go.

"What's wrong?" Turning his head in confusion.

"Sister Huang, you shouldn't forget the compensation you promised earlier about desserts, right? I've made a promise! Kamiyu specially raised his little thumb and said proudly

[I'm really a fool when I'm so serious with a 9-year-old child! Conelia only felt as if she had misunderstood the little boy in the first place.

"No, it won't!" After frustrating this answer, he walked out of the experimental base quickly.

"What an unpredictable little ghost." Although she felt very angry, when she walked out of the base and looked up at the blue sky, the bright golden sunlight made Cornelia feel relieved.

Cornelia was amazed to find that the mood that had been depressed because of the heavy topic just now suddenly brightened.

[Perhaps, this is his purpose!] He looked back at the gate of the base.

At this moment, no one imagined that it was in the Imperial Council.

The earthy, heavy metal gate was slowly pushed open with an ancient, deep sound. The royal guards on either side of the doorway stood straight, and one of them preached loudly

"Heir to the seventeenth throne of the Holy Bonetanian Empire, Eleventh Prince, Lelouch A. V. Bunitania Audience. ”

At the gate, he has short black hair, purple pupils, and a wide red cloak. Lelouxiu, who had a solemn face, or rather a menacing face, walked in with impatient steps.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Note 1: As can be seen from Lelouch's animation, the recoil of individual weapons in it is not large, and anyone with strong arm strength can suppress the recoil caused by rifle continuous fire. However, judging by the ballistic dispersion shown by V.V when he killed Mariana, it is clear that V.V is unable to suppress the recoil. In such a situation, he used to hold the trigger and shoot continuously, which can only be said that he has not been trained in individual combat.
