At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, inside the Iron Hand Mansion.

People were leaching out of the courtyard one after another, and Su Xiao was sitting behind a desk, with dozens of pieces of parchment in front of him.

"So you're the last person to see the little princess?"

Su Xiao threw down the parchment in his hand and raised his eyes to look at a maid kneeling on the ground in front of him.

"Yes, sir."

The maid was nervous, breathing heavily, her heart was beating more than 140 beats per minute, and she was deliberately hiding something.

"Someone."

Su Xiao spoke, and the two guards walked into the room, and he waved his hand, the two guards were slightly dazed, and the maid kneeling on the ground was also at a loss.

"My lord, how do you ......?"

One of the guards spoke in a low voice, carefully worded.

"Slaughtered."

"Huh."

The two guards were stunned, and the maid sat on her knees.

"I... I just stole the princess's tiara, I, I don't have to die, woo......"

Obviously, it was this fart that the maid tried her best to hide.

"Get it."

Su Xiao rubbed his forehead lightly, he had already gotten a lot of similar useless clues.

"Then my lord, I want to ...... her"

One of the guards puts his palm in front of his neck and makes a throat-slitting gesture.

"Imprisoned."

Su Xiao leaned back in his seat, this was the most troublesome task he had ever encountered, no one, so far he had not found any clues, the little princess seemed to have been killed by a 'ghost', and there was no trace left at the scene.

Just when Su Xiao had a headache, a Praetorian Guard pushed open the door.

"My lord, I have a clue."

A Praetorian Guard handed Su Xiao an arm-thick wooden barrel with the royal family's logo on it, which showed the secrecy of this thing.

Su Xiao opened the wooden barrel, and a roll of parchment slid out of it, and after seeing the contents inside, the doubts in Su Xiao's heart suddenly cleared up.

After the detective named 'Nonista Forde' investigates, it is no one else who killed the little princess, but Captain Karen.

Su Xiao had also suspected Captain Karen before, but there was a big difference between the other party's height, weapon, and killer.

The gaze of Captain Karen before his death, Su Xiao still has the impression that it was a very helpless and angry gaze.

According to the detective's written description, Su Xiao knew what was going on, and at the time of the crime, the captain of the Karen Legion was standing behind the little princess and pierced the little princess's chest with a weapon he had improvised obtained.

As for why the little princess didn't scream, the reason was that she covered her mouth and tried her best to endure the pain.

When Su Xiao saw the description of 'the little princess covered her mouth', his idea was to get the detective here, give the other party a chance to rearrange the language, and let the other party say it again in front of him.

can see the description of this detective later, which made Su Xiao dispel this idea, this is a master of detective reasoning.

The follow-up description that Su Xiao saw was that the little princess, who was only 13 years old, was actually pregnant! What's even more outrageous is that her mother is also pregnant, you must know that the old king is 65 years old, and the hardware is basically not allowed.

A pregnant mother and daughter, who are they like? Normally, it is unlikely that it is the same person, but with the openness of the world, this possibility is not ruled out......

"It turns out... So. ”

The thoughts in Su Xiao's mind suddenly became clear, this was not a murder at all, but someone wrote and directed a good show.

The little princess and the queen died deliberately in the back garden, the death of the little princess was to attract Su Xiao to the past, the queen's poisoning was to delay time, they were all chess pieces, and the captain of the Karen army who died together belonged to the victims, he was forced to do this, and afterwards the bodies of his family were found in a stinky ditch, and the family died neatly.

A mother and daughter performed this good play with their lives, and there are two key points in the most important places, one is the place where the good play takes place (the palace), and the other is the time of the good play (the old king feasts the ministers, rich merchants, princesses, princes, etc.).

At this point in time, if a member of the royal family is killed in the back garden of the palace, Su Xiao, as the Iron Hand, will definitely be there immediately, which will lead him away from the old king.

The main purpose of the other party has been revealed, that is, to assassinate the old king and the princes, wealthy merchants, princes, princesses, etc. in the banquet hall.

If these people died at the same time, the power system of the Kingdom of St. Sodin would be paralyzed in an instant, and the kingdom might even fall because of this incident.

The moment he learned that the little princess had been killed, the old king immediately issued an order, that is, to let the commander of the kingdom legion, Heslet, rush to the front immediately, which was the old king already vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Heslett had followed the old king for many years, and he immediately understood the old king's words, so after he left the banquet hall, he did not immediately go straight to the front line, but used the secret order that the old king quietly gave him to summon all the Praetorian Guards, and the five Praetorian Guards who were waiting for Su Xiao at the door of the banquet hall before were a small part of them.

After sending Heslet, the old king's next move made the attacker's plan die directly in the womb, that is, to send Joe Valentine to seal off the royal capital, and leave a secret order that if he was unfortunately killed today, the eldest prince would temporarily ascend to the throne.

Joe Valentine is not there to blockade the royal capital at all, he manages all the officials, he knows the functions of the officials, he is there to prevent the collapse of the power system.

The old king's last 'gaffe' action was to pour out a glass of poisoned wine in his own hand, for which the assassins had carefully arranged for two years, and the king's assassination plan failed completely.

I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and the old king did not go to the first seat in the banquet hall, which has surprised the assassins, and when sitting near Su Xiao and the others, the old king will only drink the wine in the jug that Su Xiao and Heslett have drunk, because the old king knows that both of them are strong and have terrifying insight into toxins, and his cup is what Heslett used before.

The old king's series of on-the-spot responses made the assassins have no chance to make a move, they didn't dare to attack the palace in a bright way, otherwise they would not 'sacrifice' the mother and daughter, so as to attract Su Xiao's attention and lure Su Xiao away.

Their chances are only a few minutes, but within a few minutes. The banquet hall was surrounded by several hundred Praetorian Legions.

Although the old king who has ruled the kingdom for more than 40 years is just an ordinary person, he is not so easy to kill, this is an old lion, and even Su Xiao is a little afraid of the old lion.

The person who set this up is definitely thoughtful, and this kind of person is usually very proud, so it is likely that they will not be able to accept such a complete failure.

"This one...... Old lion. ”

Su Xiao's elbows were propped up on the wooden table, and his hands were clasped in front of him.

At this moment, Su Xiao stood up with a sigh of relief, and he thought of a very crucial point, that is, when the old king said that the little princess had been killed, the first person to speak was not Heslet, nor the consul Joe Valentine, but the kingdom's treasurer, Rowan Harvey.

Before the old king could give the order, Rowan Harvey whispered a few words in the old king's ear, and then the old king asked Rowan Harvey to leave to deal with the follow-up matters of the raid.

Su Xiao now wants to know what Rowan Harvey said at that time, although it is very important to raid the house, and the murder of the little princess may lead to riots in the royal capital, which will affect the seizure of Elvé Anthony's wealth, but Rowan Harvey, who was the first to propose to leave the banquet hall, is very suspicious.

It was like looking for a justifiable excuse to leave the banquet hall.

Although the little princess died at the hands of Captain Karen, the real culprit was not Captain Karen, but the main messenger behind the scenes, and Su Xiao's mission goal was to find out the main messenger behind the scenes.
