After that, I left the residence of the Minister of Economics, Doru, and decided to get myself out of the mess. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but I am worried about Alexander's family affairs, although he is the eldest in the family, but his brother above him is either not in the country, or his weak personality can't do anything. Now that he is presiding over his father's funeral, I am worried about whether he will be able to handle it. And Duke Gould is one of the few people in the city who doesn't look the other way at me, and I feel compelled to pay my respects.

So Gray and I went to Alexander's mansion and found that in addition to Robert and Jack, Red Luo and Guangxiu were also here. Due to the current situation in the city and the relatively bad environment, the body of Duke Gould has not yet been buried. Everyone's expressions were solemn.

I walked over to the coffin and glanced at the Duke's sleeping face, his expression was serene, and it seemed that he had not experienced pain when he died. Alexander's face was expressionless, but his eyes were red. There is no heartbreak as I imagined, and I think Alexander has really grown. Perhaps after such an accident, he finally realized the responsibility on his shoulders. This is another unfortunate family.

It was quiet in the mourning hall, only the candle flames kept dancing. Finally, the Duchess couldn't bear to cry bitterly, and Alexander tried to comfort his mother, but I only felt that the cry pierced my heart and affected my mood.

Duke Gould, how nice it would be if you were still alive! As an elder who rarely loves me, his departure will also make me sad and uncomfortable. I couldn't help but look back at his body again.

His body was dressed in new clothes, and he didn't seem to have any major wounds, and it was unknown how he was killed.

Thinking of this, a stir suddenly crossed my mind: Wait, something seems wrong!

I took a step forward and carefully studied the Duke's figure, and suddenly felt a familiar and strange aura hanging over his body. That kind of breath is very faint, but I really feel it!

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Gray noticed my anomaly and stepped forward and whispered, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”

I glanced sideways at him, but didn't speak, catching a glimpse of Hongluo beside me. I remembered that I had thrown the demon at Duke Gould when she had just attacked her, and I thought she should know what was going on, so I asked, "Red Luo, you were in the palace when the duke died, right?" ”

Red Luo nodded.

"Can you tell me what it was like? The more detailed, the better! ”

"That day, Alexander and I took refuge in the study, and we saw that the demons outside were almost cleared, but suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard, and the shock of the explosion was very strong, and I think everyone in the vicinity should be able to feel it. At that time, we only thought it was a normal attack, and the explosion lasted about half a minute. It took us two or three minutes to realize that something had happened in the house. When we arrived at the duke's room, we found him lying on the ground covered in blood. We checked the scene a little and found that the windows of the room were wide open and the back door was hidden. The backstreets are also messy, and it is not known who did it. ”

"Did you notice anything strange?"

"This ......" Hong Luo thought hard for a while, and then said with some hesitation: "It doesn't seem to be there, right?" ”

I looked at the people around me, and I could tell from their expressions that what they were seeing at that time was similar to that of Hongluo, and they probably couldn't ask anything.

Gray leaned up and whispered to me, "I remember that time, too!" At that time, I happened to be in front of Miyagi with the defense soldiers, and I saw an explosion in this direction from a distance. Strangely, the smoke from the explosion was so great that it took five or six minutes to disperse in the neighborhood. Normally, a blast of this magnitude would not have caused such a large amount of dust. ”

"And then?" I asked eagerly, trying to get some useful clues from him.

Gray waved his hand, a little helpless: "Then you and Rand returned to Dodro in front of me, don't forget that I became Rand at that time, you said how terrifying it is for those defense soldiers to have two people who look the same at the same time!" Of course I slipped away......"

I see. I felt a little lost when I heard what he said, because there were no useful clues.

"And do you remember when that happened?" I asked again.

"I don't know exactly when the explosion happened, but I remember when you came back, it was about half past three in the afternoon. So the explosion must have been around that time, right? Speaking of which, Gray clearly sensed something strange from my reaction, and he whispered in my ear, "What, what did you find?" ”

I shook my head and didn't speak, just pulled him out of the Duke's palace quickly. It was only when I was sure that there was no one else around us that I told him what I had found.

Gray was a little incredulous when he heard my words, and after thinking for a while, he asked me, "Are you sure that Duke Gould was killed by a demon?" ”

I nodded, quite sure of this matter: "I know a lot about the demon's aura now, and I can feel their aura wherever the demon appears. It was faint in the Duke's Palace, but I was sure it was a demon. ”

"But even demons don't mean anything, huh? Don't forget that the demons didn't completely retreat from the city at that time, and even if they did, it wasn't impossible. Gray seemed to try to comfort me, but I couldn't calm down. I reminisced about what had happened in the city for the past few days, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

I looked up at the bell tower in the distance, and the time showed ten o'clock in the morning.

If I had been asleep for two and a half days, today would have been the eighteenth. I remember that the demon invasion of Dordero began in the early morning of the fifteenth, and O'Nila and I arrived in the city of Evener around ten o'clock in the morning. Then, according to Gray's account, Duke Gould died at about half past three in the afternoon, and we should have returned to Doddrow at about half past three in the afternoon.

"No, there's a problem here." I was sure that my judgment was correct: "Although I was still in Evener City on the fifteenth, the sky there had the same rift in the city as before, and the two were connected. I remember seeing from Evener that the demons in Dodro were retreating very quickly, and by the time it was 10:30 a.m., there should have been no strong demons left. Moreover, although Duke Gould is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he is also a high-level mage himself, how could those low-level demons who appeared in the city have the ability to kill him? There must be something strange about this. ”

I immediately thought of a bad possibility, could it be that Tyrion had chased Dodro again? The aura of demons in the Duke's Mansion is very faint, which is very similar to the feeling I felt when I felt a high-level demon in Evener City, or rather, is there someone in the city who is colluding with demons and wants to cause some trouble?

But the city is already in chaos, what kind of chaos can it cause, and what good is it to do so? It suddenly occurred to me a bad possibility: although Rand was now in power, he had no power or henchmen. Could it be that the remnants of the other two princes want to make a last-ditch effort to cause trouble for Rand? Thus preventing him from succeeding to the throne smoothly?
