The dinner ended before nine o'clock, and the little duke, as the owner of the castle, took the Dull Fur King, Bubuwang, and Eminem to visit his father's collection.

In the study room of the castle, Su Xiao and Chancellor of the Exchequer Walkley sat side by side, and black tea and snacks were placed on the wooden table between the two.

With a cigarette stick between his fingertips, the cigarette of this world is not filled with tobacco, but the young leaves of a four-season tree.

"Duke Kukulin, you didn't come this time for military expenses."

Walkley tapped the cigarette stick in his hand, and white smoke filled the room.

"Of course, I'm here to ...... this time"

Su Xiao stopped when he said this, and looked at the wooden table beside him, on the side of this wooden table, there was a small piece of transparent armor, about the size of a fingernail.

"I'm here this time mainly to investigate the theft of the crown."

"Crown stolen?"

Walkley obviously hadn't heard of the theft of the crown, in fact, it was an excuse that Su Xiao made up casually.

"You want to know?"

"I'm not interested, I'm getting old, I look at the right more and more, savor it, in fact, that's just the way, the more things I have, the more I pay, before I was 30 years old, money was everything in my eyes, before the age of 50, the right is life, but after the age of 70, I found that the right can't solve the problem that I have to get up three times a night, it will only make me get up more often."

Walkley shook his head and smiled, as if he was savoring something, and as if he was regretting something.

"This thing is ironclad evidence that thieves have been to the Duke's Palace."

Su Xiao picked off the transparent armor piece next to the wooden table, after entering the Duke's Manor, he saw this thing not once or twice, but at least a dozen times.

If Su Xiao guessed correctly, this is left by the violator, there is no spiritual imprint on it, and it is more likely to be a side effect after using a certain ability.

"It's ......"

Walkley looked at the transparent armor on the table, and was surprised for a moment.

"Isn't this the husk of the Mujan thorn?"

"Mu Zhan Thorn?"

"The Duke has not heard of this summer fruit?"

Walkley was even more puzzled, but he soon discovered that after completely losing his support, the husk of the wood thorn began to evaporate rapidly, which was very abnormal.

"Lena is very fond of Mu Zhan Thorn, but she had a sudden illness yesterday afternoon and has ......"

Walkley didn't continue, as the Lena he was referring to was a distant relative of his, who was mainly responsible for the daily shopping of the Duke's estate, and died in his bedroom yesterday.

The empire has almost zero tolerance for the disease, and if it is discovered, the corpse will be burned immediately.

"So she died yesterday afternoon?"

"That's right, it happened suddenly, and it's a shame that Lena is a good girl."

Walkley sighed, of course he sensed that this matter was not simple, so he immediately got out of the matter, the little duke had withdrawn from the struggle for royal power, so Walkley did not want to get involved in this troublesome matter.

"Yesterday afternoon......"

Of course, Su Xiao wouldn't fully believe Walkley's words, but one important thing was that he was ambushed last night and encountered a tricky enemy like Flesh Hall Baha.

Su Xiao decided to deal with Bloomer at noon yesterday, planned for an afternoon or so, and acted at night, and the assassination went smoothly, and he was ambushed on the way back.

And Lena of the Duke's Manor had a sudden illness yesterday afternoon, assuming that she has been replaced by the violator, then she had a sudden illness yesterday afternoon, and it is likely that the violator changed the replacement target.

From the moment Su Xiao participated in the struggle for royal power, he was exposed to the sight of violators, which is a certain thing.

Lena died of illness yesterday afternoon, and Su Xiao was ambushed at night, and the ambushers accurately grasped the route he was going to return.

When he was attacked last night, Su Xiao suspected that there was a mole in the Right Imperial Manor, and now it seems that the violator is likely to have replaced someone in the Right Imperial Manor.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that if the violator is in the Right Imperial Manor, the hunting function should be activated, but Su Xiao didn't receive any prompts.

Assuming that the offender has a special ability to replace the other without devouring the consciousness of the indigenous people, then it becomes one body and two consciousnesses.

In normal times, the replaced indigenous people are the original consciousness, which will be judged as an invasion of foreign consciousness energy, not as a violator.

But when it comes time to act, the offender will replace the other party's consciousness and use the other party's identity and memory to act, so that the horse's feet will not be exposed, and the pursuit function will be avoided to the greatest extent.

Because from beginning to end, the offender's body is not in the Right Imperial Manor, and the other party is more likely to be a substitution or manipulation of consciousness rather than a complete replacement of an indigenous population.

It's better to replace it completely, but it's hard to do it if it's just a memory of consciousness, and if you strip it away from it, it will lead to the death of the indigenous people.

After having a rough idea in his heart, Su Xiao no longer asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer about the violators, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was also happy, and the two began to chat.

At ten o'clock that night, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Little Duke sent Su Xiao and others to the gate of the manor.

"Duke Kukulin, you must come to me when you have time."

Judging from the look of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he and Su Xiao chatted very happily, and even had a feeling of hating to see each other late.

"Of course."

Su Xiao also smiled, but the moment the two turned their backs, the smiles on their faces disappeared at the same time.

'There's a problem, old fellow. ’

Su Xiao can be sure of one thing, that is, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is by no means as simple as it seems, but there is one thing, the other party should have nothing to do with the violator's business.

It is even possible that the offender will be kicked out of the ducal estate by this old fellow.

"Bubu, what did you find in the manor?"

"Wang."

Bu Buwang threw a wooden box to Su Xiao, the wooden box was almost full of Mu Zhan thorn husks, these husks don't know what is special, they will not dissipate immediately when exposed to the air, but after losing the support, they will dissipate very quickly, or rather, this is related to the ability of the violator, and the other party's ability also needs some kind of support, once it loses its support, it will quickly dissipate.

"What did you find?"

The Dumb Hair King spoke, she spent most of the time searching on the lower three floors of the castle tonight, and she gained a lot of results, finding many clues left by violators.

"Nothing."

Su Xiao will not tell the other party about the fact that the violator may be in the Right Imperial Manor for the time being, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, once the violator is alarmed, the other party may flee to somewhere.

Besides, the Dull Hair King is not a professional in this area, she entered this world, mainly to avoid Su Xiao from conflict with other contractors, from this point of view, she did a very good job, not to mention that there was a conflict, Su Xiao had never even seen the face of other contractors, the holy city was so big, it would not be a coincidence.

Right now, the fish is already next to the hook, and it is almost a bite off.

Su Xiao glanced at the core of the world on his wrist, he wanted to avoid the fish biting off the fishing line and swallowing the bait directly, then it would be a blood loss.

That night, Su Xiao returned to the Right Imperial Manor as usual, and it seemed that he was really just going to visit the Chancellor.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Su Xiao gave an order to Wu Fu to ask the other party to find something.

At present, Su Xiao has a lot of power in the empire, and it is too wasteful for this force to be used only to seize power, so he ordered Wu Fu to find records about sword skills, etc., of course, some alchemy materials can not be missing, Su Xiao wants to take the time to improve the plant harmony chapter and knife skills.
