Chapter 60: The Scene
Kurapika could barely believe his ears, what kind of joke, the first to be killed turned out to be the third prince who was the upper prince, the resources that the top five princes could integrate were far from comparable to other princes, and the difficulty of successfully completing the assassination of the third prince can be imagined.
It would not be easy for other high-ranking princes to accomplish this goal, unless they had crushing level combat power and had a reason to have to deal with the third prince first, otherwise this premature exposure of power would only cause panic among other competitors.
Kurapika, whose original idea was completely overturned, was a little confused, he turned to look at Princess Oyit and said, "I just got the news that the third prince has been assassinated. โ
"How so?" Oyt asked in surprise, and she also thought that the upper prince would give top priority to cutting out weak opponents first.
"It's hard to speculate right now, I guess we'll have to go out?" , Kurapika said.
"Go to the scene where the third prince was killed?" , Oyt asked.
"Yes, if the third prince is killed, the third prince's residence will become a public area without taboos, and we will have no problem going, I have some things to be sure, and we can also see if there are any insects along the road that are easy to catch." Kurapika said that he didn't tell the princess about the fact that the capture ability would be consumed without activating her lifespan, but in reality the reality was much more dangerous, because the Bยท1 was a new ship that had never been in operation......
Kurapika and Bill took the princess and the prince to the gate, and Babimayne, who was waiting there, immediately asked what they were going to do.
"Go to the realm of the third prince, do you want to be together?" , Kurapika asked.
Although that had just happened, the guards sent by the First Prince with the ability of the military department still had no reason to refuse, but Kurapika expected that after throwing a dead son, the guard should only be given the order to monitor, if the other party had not completely lost his mind.
"If the prince goes too." , Babi Mayne said solemnly.
When I came to the scene, Kurapika saw a lot of people, among which the guards who were being censored should be the third prince, in addition to the other princes, they also sent their own elites to check what was happening here, but seeing the arrival of the eighth princess with the prince, the originally chaotic scene suddenly became empty.
If there is any problem with the fourteenth prince at this time, the closer the person is, the greater the suspicion, no matter what their real purpose is, it is not far from the slightest to have anything to do with this kind of thing.
"I didn't expect you to come over in person, Eighth Princess." , the officer in charge of this place took the initiative to step forward and greet politely.
"I heard that something happened to the third prince, so I rushed over as soon as possible." , Oyite said very sadly, her sadness is not completely faked, even the dominant third prince was the first to die, which shows the cruelty of this inheritance war, and she will inevitably have some sadness in her heart. As for driving to the ...... in person
Now she only has two guards, and she has to guard against the guards sent by the First Prince, which is also the only option.
"May we take a look around?" Kurapika asked, looking at the officer.
"Please, in fact, the other princes' guards are also cooperating with the investigation of the first crime scene." , said the officer.
"Okay." Kurapika turned to Babi Mayne and Bill and said, "You two take care of the princess's safety, I'll go inside and have a look, it shouldn't be too long." โ
"Yes." , Bill nodded in response, and Oyt didn't make any comments, although the temporary departure of the most capable Kurapika would add some danger, but there must always be someone to do things, not to mention that this kind of public place should be safe.
Kurapika nodded at the princess, then turned and walked into the scene of the first crime, there were only a few people in the room, and they were investigating the scene.
"Yo, there's a new person here." , said one person.
"After all, it's a good opportunity to get to know your opponent's hole cards." , said another.
Kurapika ignored them, and looked around to himself, the bodies of the prince and the two guards who were responsible for protecting him had been carried away, but the signs of the fall were clearly marked.
"Very professional." , A person stood up from the ground and said: "The number of killers is at least three or more, and the cooperation is very tacit, they seized the moment when the two guards were slack, and completed the silent assassination of the three targets at the same time." โ
"According to what you say, it's not very likely that the mole will do it?" , one asked.
"It is not ruled out that there is a possibility of a doppelganger committing a crime, but this probability is not large, because once the number of doppelgangers increases, the accuracy and intensity of the operation are not high, and it is really too big to complete the assassination of the three targets silently."
"If we can do this, it seems that we will also strengthen the defense of the prince. It's just that...... Is it true that an assassination of more than three people will leave a trace? โ
"At least...... I haven't found it yet, but one thing is a little suspicious, the third prince's side is indeed a little ...... It was too clean, and the direction of the blood splash of the two dead guards was very clear and obvious, except for the third prince, there was no other blood stain except for the blood under him. โ
"Could it be that it was covered up by the blood that had spread from the fall?"
"I've also thought about it, but the angle of this assassination is also a little too weird, according to my guess, the other party can only press the prince down in a similar way to execution, and then through a special assassination method can do it, generally speaking, the assassination will only strive to be concise, this kind of behavior is completely redundant, is it to achieve some special purpose? I can't figure it out......"
Kurapika's observations of the scene were not too different from the other party's, but these doubts still made him difficult to let go, and he walked over to the place where the guard had died, crouched down, and observed the blood splatters.
This assassin slashed from a dead end, and as they say, the way to kill the two guards was indeed very "normal", but there was one thing that made Kurapika feel very suspicious, because the direction of the position where one assassin completed the assassination was directly opposite the position of the other assassin, which of course can also be understood as the two assassins launched an attack from the same line of attack, but considering the possible entrance to this room, the movements of the two people seem to be a little too weird.
The technique is very professional, and there are many redundant assassins.
Could it be some unknown assassination?
A crazy thought struck Kurapika's head, could it be ......
