Princess Oyit had taken the fourteenth prince to rest, and Kurapika was standing alone in the middle of the living room, thinking about what might happen and what to do, when a guard hurriedly ran in and said to everyone, "Someone is dead, in the toilet." ”

Kurapika's nerves tensed for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "Take me to see it." ”

Leaving a few people to protect the princess, Kurapika led people to the toilet cubicle where the incident occurred, and when he saw the corpse for the first time, even he was shocked, because this scene was really too weird, the blood of that person was sucked dry, and the whole body was like dead wood.

This must be what the telepathizer said, and Kurapika confirmed the idea in an instant.

"The blood was drained from all over the body, and because I didn't receive his regular report, I came to see it, and it turned out like this." , said the eyewitness.

"The toilet door is not locked, but I usually take a pee, and I don't lock the door." , said the other guard.

"The time of death was between 12:15 and 30 in the 15 minutes."

"No traces of intruders?" , Kurapika asked.

"Well, not at all, it may not be good to say that, but the suspect must be someone in this area." , said the guard.

"Not necessarily." After speaking, Kurapika squatted down to hold up the corpse, and said to the people around him, "Take off his clothes." ”

The guards around him helped Kurapika remove the corpse's suit and shirt, revealing holes the size of coins on its bare upper body, reminiscent of the association with the strange blood loss.

"Judging from the condition of the corpse, it should not be too much of a problem to infer that the attack was caused by the mental ability, and the possibility that the prisoner is an external ability is very high, so please answer me honestly for the sake of future work, and if any of you can use the mind, please report it yourself." , Kurapika said in a deep voice.

"Read? Is it the meaning of looking for ability? ”

"Don't say if you can use it, it's the first time I've heard of this kind of thing, could it be caused by some unknown creature?"

As a result, until the Kajin military department came to pull the body away, no one in the guards took the initiative to come forward.

The situation is even worse than imagined, and there is also a lot of risk in using chains here. The guards from the royal side pretend that I am the only one who can understand, but I don't understand the attitude of the hunters!! As long as they were the first to show their gesture of assistance, the reaction of the royal family would not be like this......

"Why didn't you guys come forward?" When he returned to the living room, Kurapika asked in a low voice, "It is true that for the association, reading is the most important matter of confidentiality, but you should also understand that the current situation is so severe that there is no room for worrying about this, and if you don't deal with things flexibly, you won't be able to get through the difficulties in the future." ”

"I'd like to ask you, why did you say something on that occasion?"

"What do you mean?" , Kurapika asked.

"Our mission is limited to defending the princess and the prince, and that is just a dispute within the Kajin Army. If there were those who were able to read among the soldiers, it would only be counterproductive for us to report them at that time, as if we were going to intervene in their internal disputes, and we should focus on our own tasks so that we would not be affected by their disputes. ”

How so? Didn't they get told about the succession war?

"Didn't you apply from Kakin's official website?" , Kurapika asked.

"Huh? Of course, I signed up through the website. ”

"In that case, you must have met the princess after that."

"You said the project of the meeting, right, a few of us were exempted, unlike you, we contacted Kajin after the announcement of the ferry voyage, and the registration is just a formality."

"So we know a lot more about the complicated inside story of the royal family and the military department than you! Although the princess seems to value you very much, please also have a little self-respect, okay? ”

The contempt between the guards' words was unmistakable, but what puzzled Kurapika was that they were unaware of the unending battle between the princes.

Why am I the only one who has applied on the basis of knowing the inside story?

However, the scene seen around the corner of the corridor surprised several people.

All the guards stationed here had been killed, and they were dead in the same condition as the body they had just found.

"What the hell is going on!!" , Kurapika shouted.

Several servant women walked out of the inner room, and they were also panicked when they saw this scene, and hurriedly said, "We don't know, just now we have been busy cooking and unpacking. ”

"Who was the last one to see them?" Kurapika asked, looking back.

"It was a scheduled report from fifteen minutes ago, but at the time they all reported no anomalies." , said the guard behind him.

"You guys go to the hall!!" Kurapika drew his chains and ordered, "From now on I will tell you everything I know, and again I will ask you a few questions, and if you lie, the chains will move, and if the chains move, I will shoot." ”

In the middle of the hall, Kurapika gathered the remaining five guards and four servants, and revealed everything she knew to them.

"The princes kill each other!!"

"It's too exaggerated, it's unbelievable, it's so abnormal!"

"This is a fact, otherwise why did the King's Army dispose of the corpse without a careful investigation." , Kurapika said with a gun pointed at them.

"What evidence is there that your chains are right?" , said a fat guard with a mustache.

"You can give it a try." , Kurapika said coldly.

"Forehead ......", the fat guard was speechless for a while, Kurapika, who was trusted by the princess, had the highest right to speak on the field, not to mention that under the grim situation of several people dying in a row, they did not have any objections.

"Did you already know about this succession war?" Kurapika hung the chains down and pointed his gun at the crowd.

"I don't know! Not at all! ”

"If I had known that this would not have happened!!"

"I only heard I was coming here before I left."

……

"Answer one by one, starting from this side."

The maids shook their heads, their guns pointed at one of the tall guards, and he sighed and said, "I knew ...... beforehand."

"I know that, too." , The fat guard who had just questioned Kurapika also confessed immediately.

When life and death were at stake, he didn't dare to test the other party's telepathic ability with his own life after all.
