Chapter 18: Surfacing

"We're by the fountain, come back, oh yes, the murderer is Mrs. Kelly." Second Prince Wen said.

"Ah...... It's really fake! You're not shaking me again! Tang Xin was very surprised, Mrs. Kelly's sad appearance before didn't look like a fake, if she was a murderer, how good her acting skills would be Cheng Dù to cry until she almost fainted!

"Hehe, of course it's true." Wen Er Gongzi chuckled, his voice was still warm and elegant, but Tang Xin always felt that he was despised, "Only the motive is still a piece away, I always feel that things will not be so simple." ”

"Are you thinking too much, the tasks of the novice village are so complicated and too consuming for the brain, you haven't said what is going on? Is it love killing? Or is it a vendetta? Or is it for the money? For the sake of profit......" Tang Xin didn't believe it, but she had already accepted the answer that Mrs. Kelly was the murderer, she was itching in her heart now, and she wanted to know what happened for a while, but the person on the other side of the voice who already knew the truth was still selling Guan Zi or something, and he was the most annoying!

"You said you found a strange plant?" Second Prince Wen suddenly asked.

"Yes, just above the waterfall where Warren's body was found, there are seven colors of flowers, which are ordinary flowers when separated, and when combined, they will have different effects."

"What's the effect?"

"The only thing I know now is that the seven colors of flowers together can make people unable to regain health after getting out of the combat state, and the others have not been tried."

"Would you like to lend me one of each color?"

"I'm sending you! We plucked the whole hillside with flowers. Tang Xin had already rushed to the fountain, and she handed a bouquet of flowers to Wen Ergongzi.

Wen Ergongzi took the flowers, and then beckoned a child playing on the side of the road, gave him the flowers and a note folded in half, and told him to put the flowers and notes on the windowsill of the tower guard.

After explaining, he rubbed the little boy's head and handed him a few gold coins.

"Why don't you just go over and confront her? Why is it so troublesome? Tang Xin was puzzled, since he had already deduced who the murderer was, if he said it directly, either the murderer would admit it immediately, or cry and tell a singing and crying story, or he would be annoyed and angry, and turn into a boss and start fighting directly.

If it is a murder case within the jurisdiction of the Empire, you can also notify the wanted mission issuing office and the escort team, and if it is verified truthfully, you can just arrest it.

"If you figure out why, the completion of the task should be higher." Wen Er Gongzi did not say something like Tang Xin imagined that finding the truth was more important than catching the murderer, but very practically from the perspective of the game.

"Let's go, let's go up and take a sneak peek......" Tang Xin nodded, she didn't know that a high degree of completion would be better.

A task can be completed 80% with 5 minutes of time and effort, but it takes more than 1 hour of time and effort, and it may not be able to reach 100% completion, so it seems that there is only a 20% difference in completion, but the reward for completing the task perfectly is definitely not just 20% more.

But this is a crime-solving puzzle, as long as the murderer is found in the puzzle level, the criminal modus operandi is deduced, and the murderer confesses, the completion should be 100%.

And Wen Ergongzi's current temptation, Tang Xin feels that it is beyond the scope of murder, judging from her experience, this kind of over-completion of the puzzle-solving level is likely to trigger a huge task chain later.

Tang Xin and Wen Ergongzi, the two of them followed the little boy, all the way to the outside of the tower keeper's house, they each hid behind the bushes, and then closely observed the tower keeper's home, Comrade Jing Jiu was very happy to be left behind by them, the reason is also very simple, he is too big to hide.

The little boy jumped up and down, tiptoed the bouquet of flowers and notes on the windowsill in front of the kitchen, and then ran a little farther away, picked up a pebble from the ground and smashed it against the window.

Crash! The glass on the windows shattered in response.

Then the little boy ran away in a puff of smoke.

"Wow! You taught him how to smash glass? Tang Xin was surprised, she thought that Wen Er Gongzi was a good baby who never did anything out of the ordinary, but she didn't expect it to be boring/sassy, and she secretly wanted to do some harmless little bad things.

"I just told him to put it down to get the attention of the people in the house, and he was quite smart." Second Prince Wen nodded approvingly, although it was not instigated by him, he was also very satisfied.

Mrs. Kelly, who was in the room, had clearly heard the noise, and saw her staggering down the second floor, wiping her tears with one hand and balancing the stairs with the other, her face covered with tears.

"She still looks very sad, a little contradictory......" Tang Xin was a little puzzled, if she was the murderer, even her husband, son and daughter, the closest people, why should she be sad since she did it, "By the way, how did her daughter die?" ”

"It was a dock worker who saw a body floating down from the upper reaches of the river, the body had no wounds on the surface, and I found that it was poisoned and died." Second Prince Wen replied succinctly.

"Rivers? Is it the same river that we found Warren in Falls? ”

"Yes, there is only one river on this island, and the water flows into the sea from the mouth of the sea next to the pier."

By this time Mrs. Kelly had already found the bouquet and note on the windowsill, and when she saw the bouquet, her expression had changed greatly, and her face was full of astonishment when she trembled and spread out the note.

"Let's go, let's go." Wen Ergongzi pushed aside the bushes and stood up and strode forward.

Tang Xin hurriedly followed him in three steps and two steps, this person usually walks slowly, and now he is not used to striding meteors all at once, really, the legs are amazing! Tang Xin complained silently. In fact, Wen Ergongzi did not feel impatient when he walked briskly, and he also had a feeling of not hurrying, but the speed was really fast......

"It's you ......" Mrs. Kelly saw Wen Er Gongzi and Tang Xin, her face had calmed down, and she had regained her calmness, but she no longer showed a decadent and sad aura, calmly like an outsider who had nothing to do with herself.

She was silent for a long time, looked at Wen Ergongzi and Tang Xin and said quietly: "It seems that you know something...... But it's impossible for me to tell you all about it, so let's tell me what you know......

"Your original name is not Kelly, it's Catherine." Second Prince Wen said softly, but his tone was very affirmative, he looked at Mrs. Kelly lightly, Mrs. Kelly's expression was calm but her eyes moved slightly, "This matter starts when you came to this island...... Is that right? Miss Catherine Andrew, the only daughter of the Holy Samurai Andrew. ”

"Go on." Mrs. Kelly was still calm, and she couldn't see the fluctuations in her feelings.

Second Prince Wen was still unhurried: "The purpose of your original visit to the island may be to find your father's hometown, the holy warrior Andrew died on the battlefield when the great war broke out between the human race, the beast race and the elf race, and there are no bones left. And as his daughter, you can only come to his hometown to express your sorrows......

But you stumble upon a little secret on this island, which is actually known to the inhabitants of the island, so it is not a secret, but they have lived on a rich island for generations, and they are not keen on fighting, and they do not need money so much, so this little secret is just regarded as an interesting story by the islanders.

The secret is that the sea of seven-colored flowers that grow on the waterfall, the fragrance of the seven colors of flowers, and the combination of each other, can have different effects.

My companion also stumbled upon the fact that the fragrance of flowers of seven colors can make life not self-rejuvenating, six, five...... Each has its own special function. ”

"So what? I'm Andrew's daughter, and it's normal for me to come to my father's hometown to see it...... You also said that the seven-colored flower is an open secret that the inhabitants of the island know, and I asked a few random people and asked. Mrs. Kelly naturally confessed her identity, and she looked indifferent, and there was no emotion in her expression.

"It's true that it won't be good for islanders, or ordinary outsiders, but you're different, your identity, in addition to being the daughter of the Holy Samurai Andrew, has a more secret identity......" Second Prince Wen shook his head with a smile and said, then stopped.

"What is it? You go on! Tang Xin on the side said eagerly, she listened very attentively, and felt very unhappy at the moment, glaring at the second son of Wen, with a posture that if he sold Guan Zi again, she was going to cut people.

"Hehe, then I'll continue......" Second Prince Wen smiled, glanced at Mrs. Kelly, who was silent, and continued, "You had a fiancé at the time, he was the third prince of the Lionheart Empire, the fourth heir to the throne, and now he is the king of the Lionheart Empire.

I guess you probably don't want to marry him, and the reason you got engaged may just be because of your father's status, and after your father's death, for whatever reason, you don't think your life will be easy when you marry into the royal family.

Of course, this is not a secret identity, your real identity is a member of a mysterious organization, and it may not necessarily be a named organization, but at least there is a group of like-minded people, and your goal is to overthrow the rule of the Lionheart.

The reason why you joined this organization, it is not difficult to guess, you feel that your father's death is suspicious, you want to find out the truth, and then avenge your father, this organization provides you with this opportunity.

After learning the secret of the Seven Colored Flowers, you feel that this is an opportunity, not only to gain the trust of the organization, but also to kill high-level combat professionals with your own strength as a non-combat professional.

So you stayed, and you married the inhabitants of the island, your husband, Yato, and you had children and lived happily on this island without any quarrel......

But you have not forgotten why you stayed, you silently cultivated the flowers on the hillside and refined them into essential oils, all from your family, because you could not explain to the island's natives, who have never had a fighting heart, what your purpose was. ”

"Even if you guessed it right, how did my husband, son, and daughter die? It's ridiculous if you say I killed it...... Even if you want to keep it a secret and let people know, it's not a big deal, is it necessary for me to kill my relatives? Mrs. Kelly remained calm.
