Chapter 173: Chasing the Murderer

Early the next morning, James summoned a meeting of all the members of the island cabinet, and at the same time specially invited Sandro, the commander of the island guard, to attend.

In the conference room of the Governor's Palace, all the island officials were ready, but Sandro was not seen for a long time, James stood up and sat down, sat down and got up, and just as his patience was about to run out, Sandro finally came belatedly.

James looked at Sandro frowning between his brows, and he asked Sandro puzzled: "What's wrong with your arm?" ”

Sandro gently patted his bandaged left arm and smiled bitterly and said, "I accidentally fell in the shower last night and broke this arm." ”

James looked at Sandro suspiciously, although he felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he had to stop and get to the point.

Yesterday, Prince Charles of the British Empire had an accident during an equestrian competition, his horse inexplicably lost control and ran out of the fence, and then Prince Charles was rescued by a madwoman, and his horse ran deep into the woods. After a lot of careful searching, the horse was finally found, but to great surprise, the horse was already foaming at the mouth and whimpering when it was found.

After the veterinarian accompanying His Royal Highness the prince overnight, it was finally determined that the horse was poisoned and died, and this poison may be a chronic poison, and the horse may not be a big deal when he first eats it, but as time passes, the toxicity will slowly attack, and eventually kill the horse. It can be inferred that the reason why Prince Charlie's horse suddenly lost control during the equestrian competition was probably because the poison worked at that time.

This conclusion made His Royal Highness very angry, and not only moved back to his Charles overnight, but also asked his bodyguards to raise the protection level of the entire ship to the highest level, and all people who were not on the prince's ship were not allowed to approach the Charles without the summons of His Royal Highness the Prince. In addition, from that night onwards, the food and water used by the prince were personally inspected by his personal guards.

Of course, in addition to Prince Charlie's anger, Duke Jackson was also quite unhappy, someone dared to deliberately murder the imperial prince under his nose, it was really bold and reckless, he demanded that James must find out the murderer within three days, otherwise let him get out of the way.

Prince Charles' horses were brought from the empire with the ship, and in addition to the horses, there was a full-time veterinarian and a breeder. During the few days on Paradise Island, these two people took care of the horses most of the time, but on the day of the race, before the start of the race, all the horses participating in the equestrian competition were locked together and fed by several breeders, so someone had access to Prince Charles's horses.

After James presented what he had, Sandro asked, "Now that you have a suspicious target, what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and send someone to arrest and interrogate all those grooms? ”

James shook his head and said: "I don't plan to arrest them immediately, on the one hand, we have no direct evidence to point to a specific person, on the other hand, daring to deliberately murder His Royal Highness the prince is not something that a groom breeder can do with a pat on the head, there must be other people behind this, there must be other conspiracy, I want to put a long line to catch a big fish." ”

"Humph!" Sandro snorted a little contemptuously, stretched out a hand and touched his bald head and said: "The Governor is worthy of being the Governor, and he thinks about problems a lot more than ordinary people, and I have to admit that what you said is very reasonable, but Your Excellency, I also want to kindly remind you that your time is only three days, and if you can't catch the murderer within three days, then you can only go home and think about the conspiracy behind it." ”

"Thank you, Commander, for the reminder!" James smirked twice and said: "But three days is not a long time, but it is enough for me to find out the murderer behind the scenes, of course, this is also inseparable from the help of everyone here, I hope everyone can move and do everything possible to collect more information." ”

After coming out of the governor's palace, Sandro got into the carriage with the help of his adjutant.

"You just went to see the Duke, what did the Duke say?" Sandro leaned into the carriage and asked the adjutant.

"The Duke is quite unhappy with what happened last night, and he has asked me to tell you that I don't want a second such thing to happen. And that Tina must be found as soon as possible, and after finding it, she will kill her mouth directly! ”

Sandro nodded and said viciously, "Tina has been unruly repeatedly, I have long wanted to get rid of her!" ”

"Do you need to send someone to find it?"

"No, you can't make too much of a move, anyway, her brother is in my hands, and sooner or later he will come to me."

At the same time, Long Xin'er also came to the Governor's Palace, and when James saw her, he immediately closed the door and arranged for his cronies to guard the door.

"Do you have any news on Prince Charlie's affairs? Do you know who the murderer is? James asked straight to the point.

"It's impossible to know who the killer is, but it must have something to do with Sandro and them, if not they did it directly, at least they knew it in advance."

"But that doesn't make sense? Sandro was Duke Jackson's man, how could he not inform the Duke if he knew in advance that someone was going to murder Prince Charlie? And if the Duke knew in advance, how could he pretend not to know? If something really goes wrong with Prince Charlie, it will only be bad for him. ”

"This Duke Jackson is not simple, and none of us can guess what he wants to do."

"Miss Dragon, I hope you can help me find the murderer in these two or three days."

"I'm afraid it's going to be hard."

"Hard? If it were easy, I wouldn't necessarily need your help. I hope you can understand that if I can't catch the murderer in three days, then I will no longer be the governor of this paradise island, and if it does get to that point, hehe, I am sure you will definitely not want to go to that point. ”

Just then, there was a knock at the door, and James' men trotted in.

"Lord Governor, Han Dong, Han Dong has appeared."

"What!" Hearing that I had appeared again, James and Long Xin'er were very surprised, and James hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?" Where was it found? ”

"In, in the sea, supposedly just where they disappeared last time, suddenly popped up." James's subordinates obviously didn't understand this matter very well, so they didn't have much confidence to talk about it.

"He came back alone?" Long Xin'er asked.

"No, and the old man."

"Where's the blue-faced weirdo?"

"I don't know, it's just Han Dong and that old man."

At the beach, Uncle Wei and I suddenly emerged from the water, and then swam all the way to the shore, this scene made many witnesses so shocked that their jaws were about to fall, that day Uncle Wei and I suddenly disappeared from the sea on the paradise island is well known, this time it suddenly appeared again, it is even more mysterious than all kinds of stories.

After Uncle Wei and I went ashore, passers-by on the beach surrounded us, and someone pointed at us and asked, "Are you human or ghost?" ”

I was upset and said, "What? Of course, Lao Tzu is a living person, how can any ghost dare to come out and walk around in broad daylight. ”

"But, but, that day, you suddenly disappeared from the sea, and today, today suddenly appeared again, where have you been?" Passers-by asked a lot of questions, and the little seahorse in his head was estimated to be almost dead.

Uncle Wei said happily: "We didn't go anywhere, we slept at the bottom of the sea, the sand was used as a bed, the coral was the quilt, and the cooing undercurrent was a lullaby, and we slept comfortably." ”
