Chapter 176: Nine Ghosts and the Heavenly Wheel
"It's a big deal, it's a big deal." The person who ran in was Bilia, and her flustered look was rare, and it couldn't help but make people feel strange.
"Is something happening?" Rachel asked, pulling her along.
"Angelina, Jasmine...... She, something happened to them. As soon as she spoke, Bilia burst into tears.
Ruan Chi listened from the sidelines, his expression couldn't help but sink slightly, and Rachel's expression changed greatly.
The place of the incident was in the woods of a garden opposite the west courtyard, where many people had gathered, and Cohens of the Knights of the Bloody Hand stood in the crowd with a solemn face.
Gulydia and Elena were also here, and when they saw Ruan Chi and them coming, they immediately took the initiative to come forward and tell what had happened.
Today, the legation went to the temporary conference room set up by the Federation to negotiate as usual, but when it was dissolved, Gulydia found that Angelina and Jasmine were absent.
Elena later sent someone to look for the two of them, and finally found two inhumanoid bodies here, and after examination, it has been preliminarily determined to be the missing Angelina and Jasmine.
This matter immediately attracted the attention of the Free Federation, and Ron immediately sent Cohens to deal with it.
Ruan Chi accompanied Rachel to the two bodies that were found, only to see that the bodies of the two seemed to have been gnawed by wild beasts, with thousands of holes, incomplete skin and flesh, and exposed white bones, which looked miserable, and could not be reminded of the fact that they were originally two delicate elf beauties.
"Who did it?" Rachel angrily questioned Cohens.
"We didn't find the killer when we arrived, sorry, this happened. I can only apologize on behalf of the Federation. Cohens said as he bent down.
"What's the use of saying such things now? Our companions are dead. Rachel's eyes were bloodshot.
"Don't do that. Rachel. Guldia pulled the elven swordswoman, who was a little excited. Turning to look at Cohens, he said: "Mr. Cohens, although I know that everyone doesn't want this kind of thing to happen, but in the final analysis, this is the Court of Freedom, and the members of our envoy corps were killed under such a guard, you are duty-bound, I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation." ”
"I'll do my best." Cohens is neither humble nor arrogant.
Ruan Chi had already stood up from the side of the corpses, he was not a forensic doctor, so he naturally couldn't tell who killed the two corpses. However, he agrees with Guldia's statement.
This is the Court of Freedom, where the Prime Minister of the Free Federation discusses and lives, and is closely guarded by the world-famous Knights of the Bloody Hand, but the death of two members of the Legation at such an important time is a very bad thing to look at.
The bodies of the two members of the envoys were quickly disposed of, and although everyone hoped to bury them as much as possible, the bodies were the only clue until the killer was found, so after much consideration, the bodies of the two remained.
"Elena. Do you think this has anything to do with the Free Federation? After Cohens's men left, Guldia asked in a deep voice.
"Logically impossible." Elena shook her head. His eyes were cold and he said: "Although the human race is powerful, it should be impossible for them to blatantly kill the members of the foreign envoys on their own territory. ”
"That's what I thought, too." Guldia nodded, glanced at Ruan Chi again, hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency thinks about the murder of Angelina and Jasmine?" ”
"A conspiracy, a conspiracy clearly against our legacy." Ruan Chi said very bluntly.
"Isn't that nonsense?" Elena sneered.
Ruan Chi smiled slightly, ignoring the cold and glamorous head of the guard, and continued: "Let's find out a question first, how many people will know about our mission to the Terrans?" ”
"From the moment we entered the Terran realm, it is estimated that all the forces in the entire continent know about it, after all, it is not a secret that the two races send envoys to visit each other." Guldia thought for a moment and said.
"That's right, in this case, when we came to the Terrans, the people of the Platinum Consortium must have known about it." Ruan Chi said suddenly.
"You mean to say that the people who killed Angelina and Jasmine were the Platinum Consortium. Sent out? Rachel asked nervously.
"I'm just guessing." Ruan Chi shrugged.
"But if you say that, the Platinum Consortium must be the most suspicious." Guldia muttered.
……
On the other hand, Cornes knocked on Ron's door.
Ron, who was reviewing the text, immediately stopped his hand and looked up and asked, "How is it, are those two corpses confirmed to be from the envoys?" ”
Cohens nodded, "The elves have already identified the two missing envoys." ”
Ron's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Although the Court of Freedom has only been established for a hundred years, since you Bloody Hand Knights are in charge, there has never been an enemy attack. ”
"I'm sorry, but this incident is a dereliction of duty." Korn said.
Ron held up a hand and said, "This is not the time to find out who is right and who is wrong, although we are in the opposite camp with the White Elves, but the agreement of a thousand years ago has not expired yet, and their envoys have an accident with us, and it is always a bad influence to spread the word." ”
"I understand, I'll look into it."
Ron nodded, clasped his hands together and held his chin in contemplation for a moment, and then asked half-loudly: "Tang Shide has been busy with his son's affairs recently, and I don't want to bother him, I can rest assured that you and Duncan are here, according to the current clues, who do you think the murderer is most likely?" ”
"It seems that Your Excellency already has the answer in mind." Cohens smiled.
"I did predict with the Great Prophecy of the Spiritual Corridor that the murderer came from the northwest." Ron muttered.
"Northwest?" Cohensi pondered for a moment, and said carefully: "Those people in the Platinum Consortium are just in that direction, carefully analyze, they can quietly enter the Court of Freedom to kill people, and they will not be discovered by us, their strength is at least the same level as me and Duncan, and there are not more than two people in the killer group under the Platinum Consortium who have this strength." ”
"Nine ghosts and the heavenly wheel?" Ron's eyes narrowed in a straight line, and the kindness on his face was gone. "These guys are really getting more and more arbitrary, and they actually kill people without our instructions."
"After all, the interior of the Platinum Consortium is mixed, and the orc clan and the dwarf clan have also been infiltrating it in recent years, and it has long been out of our control."
"I know what you say, that's why I've often sent people to rectify it in recent years." Ron leaned into the chair behind him, a glint in his eyes, "They've gone too far this time, it looks like it's time to warn." ”
"Your Excellency means ......"
"Let Duncan come here, I have something to tell you two to go with me."
"Yes!" (To be continued......)
