When the old king learned of the upheaval in the palace, his expression did not fluctuate much, he had experienced all kinds of winds and waves in his life, so he had long developed the habit of being moody and angry.

The old king sat down, threw the empty wine glass in his hand on the table, and pulled a napkin to carefully wipe the wine stains on his hands.

"Iron Hand, if this matter continues to be left to you, how long will it take?"

As if no one spoke beside the old king, there was a dead silence in the banquet hall, and although the officials or the wealthy merchants pricked up their ears, they all maintained a sideways or back-to-back posture, and no one dared to look directly at the old king.

"Three days."

The mission period is only three days, so Su Xiao answered very simply, if he can't find the killer within three days, his identity as an iron hand will be stripped away.

"Okay, I'll give you three days."

The old king was also very simple, but he didn't say what would happen if Su Xiao couldn't find the killer within three days, and some things didn't need to be so straightforward.

It can be seen from the old king's previous 'instant gaffe' that the development of things is now beyond the control of the old king, and the little princess's death in the back garden of the palace is strange enough, if her death is just a provocation, then the suicide of the queen and the captain of the Karen army is a huge conspiracy.

Su Xiao took Bu Buwang and the five Praetorian Guards to the outside of the banquet hall, these five Praetorian Guards are completely under Su Xiao's command in the near future, and they are the top cannon fodder + thugs.

While walking towards the outside of the banquet hall, Su Xiao began to think in his mind, judging from the current situation, in order to cover up his tracks, the murderer had almost emptied all the witnesses present except for Su Xiao, Bubuwang and the five Praetorian Guards.

According to Su Xiao's observations, the poison taken by the queen is the same as the poison under the guards of the royal family, that is, someone provided them with the same poison.

will cover up the traces, which means that the murderer does not dare to confront the royal family head-on, at least not dare to confront the royal family head-on in the palace, so he will hide his head and tail and destroy the corpse.

There is one thing that Su Xiao has never figured out, that is, the killer has arranged a series of plans with great difficulty, and even the queen and the legion commander have been implicated, just to kill Shalene Herbert?

What is different about Charlene Herbert? At least in Su Xiao's opinion, this girl has nothing special except for being with a man too early, her physical fitness is only at the level of an ordinary person, and she looks delicate, but she is not too beautiful, as for her figure...... What figure can a 13-year-old girl have.

Charlene Herbert has no special energy in her body, nor is she an important figure in this power struggle.

Su Xiao thought quickly in his mind, all kinds of possibilities appeared in his mind, after a series of thoughts, Su Xiao was surprised to find that he didn't find any valuable information, sure enough, his reasoning ability was only average.

Su Xiao was not surprised to find this situation, he originally didn't think that he could find out the killer with his reasoning ability, no one is perfect.

Su Xiao does not have too strong reasoning ability, but he has the position of Iron Hand, the Kingdom of Saint Sodin is a huge kingdom, it is composed of the territory of five kingdoms, plus the land is rich, so the population of the Kingdom of St. Sodin is between 3~500 million, as for the specific number of people, with the current level of science and technology, it is impossible to count.

With the technological level of the Xia world, this number of people is already an exaggerated number, but considering the huge area of the Xia continent, it actually makes sense that there will be such a large population, you know, this is the total number of human beings, and the Saint Sodin Kingdom is the only human kingdom in the Xia world.

Even with a population of hundreds of millions, the territory of the Kingdom of St. Sodin is also vast and sparsely populated, so the royal family vigorously advocates fertility, for the Kingdom of St. Sodin, whose farming technology is very perverted, a large number of people may lead to the people living in poverty, and it is unlikely that people will starve to death.

In the kingdom of St. Sordin, there is a potato-like crop called 'keba', which is a weed-level that can grow to the size of a basin if the land is fertile enough.

Not only that, the Saint Thodin Kingdom also has very advanced technology for the cultivation of wheat and other crops, and things similar to the plough have long been invented, and what is even more strange is that the commoners of the Saint Saurine Kingdom actually know how to graft the technology.

If the kingdom of St. Sodin had a similar level of technology to medieval Europe, then its agriculture was at least a few hundred years ahead.

Because of this, the Kingdom of St. Sordin has been able to maintain a large population base and have been at war with the Necrons for thousands of years.

In this huge population base, of course, there will be talents in all aspects, such as detectives with explosive reasoning skills.

Detectives are a popular profession in this world, and some great detectives can even be recognized by the royal family, and their status is lower than that of officials and higher than that of merchants.

There are many famous detectives, as long as Su Xiao gives an order, all the detectives in the royal capital will be forcibly arrested.

Not only the detective, Su Xiao also needs other people, this time the task is not to kill a specific target, but reasoning, his own reasoning ability is not strong, then he will use the power in his hand to make up for it.

An excellent detective is a necessary condition, of course, Su Xiao also needs a 'jack of all trades', and the other party must have some understanding of the big and small forces in the royal capital.

Not only is it a detective and a 'jack of all trades', Su Xiao also needs a complete and safe intelligence channel.

On the detective side, of course, Su Xiao would not look for it in person, it would be too wasteful of time.

"Take it and go to Joe Valentine, and let him get the best detective in the royal capital in 2 hours."

Su Xiao threw the golden lion pendant to a Praetorian Guard, who quickly disappeared from Su Xiao's sight, Su Xiao's gaze looked at another Praetorian Guard, these guys were all wearing metal helmets, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and they had no names.

"When you go to the second princess, you will say that the Iron Hand temporarily needs her intelligence network in the royal capital."

Of course, Su Xiao would not be stupid enough to investigate this matter alone, he had to mobilize all the means he could use to complete the hidden side quest.

Now that there is no clue about this matter, the only thing Su Xiao has to do is not to go to the world to find clues, but to wait, wait for the murderer to take the initiative to come to him.

This is not Su Xiao's delusion, the people who witnessed the first scene of the murder before were almost dead, only Su Xiao, Bubuwang, and the five Praetorian Guards had been to the scene and had inspected the body of the little princess.

If the murderer wants to completely wipe out, then he will definitely come to get rid of Su Xiao, as for Bu Buwang and the five Praetorian Guards, the Praetorian Guards still have some value to get rid of, and it is unlikely that Bu Bu Wang will attract hatred.

As long as the other party has the idea of getting rid of Su Xiao, then he will definitely send someone to assassinate him, as long as someone comes to assassinate him, then Su Xiao's opportunity will come.

Su Xiao is not good at reasoning, but he is good at fighting, once the other party chooses to solve this matter by force, then Su Xiao will have the confidence to complete this hidden side quest.

As for the identity of the other party's jealousy of the Iron Hand, don't joke, the other party dares to kill the little princess in the palace, and will not be afraid of the Iron Hand at all.

And now, Su Xiao wanted to give the other party a chance, so he spread all the forces around him and left alone in a place that seemed to be safe, but was actually not safe, that place was the mansion of the Iron Hand.
