Two days later, Lin Qiu returned to the imperial capital.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Phoenix's special image that attracted her wide attention when she walked down the tower, and many passers-by showed strong sexual interest in her, the incident in Lin Qiu's imagination did not appear. The church did not chase them as soon as they got off the airboat, and Judith did not question him about what he was doing in Leorea.

The streets and alleys of the imperial capital looked very abnormal, the church knights and the kingdom army could be seen everywhere, and the market that should have been bustling was crowded, and most of the civilians hid in their houses and did not dare to come out.

Panic.

This is Lin Qiu's most intuitive feeling, this sense of depression is like a disaster month.

Could it be that the disaster month is coming again?

Lin Qiu looked at the sky. It was as clear as ever, and the sun was not obscured by the fog of the mist. In fact, apart from the imposition of total martial law, there was no significant difference in the environment of the entire imperial capital. This oppressive atmosphere made Lin Qiu involuntarily nervous, he looked around, solemnly put it in Phoenix's ear, and said, "Phoenix, it shouldn't be that you have been caught stealing scones, right? Everyone has come out to arrest you!"

"You're naïve!"

Phoenix was so angry that she snorted green smoke from her nose, she was not the house finch she used to be...... In the past two days, she has completely absorbed the power of the dragon soul, and in terms of level alone, she has advanced to the same level as the eight ancestor-level monsters! If Lin Qiu, this kid, makes fun of her again, she will be greeted by the roar of a fire dragon!

No kidding, she's serious.

Not to mention......

"Who would send so many people because the old woman's scones were stolen and eaten!"

"Is it possible...... That old woman was actually Richard's mother?So, it seemed like they had never talked about their mother—sorry, Phoenix, you're in trouble!" Lin Qiu became even more solemn.

Then a string of fireballs smashed into his face.

"Have you calmed down?" Phoenix stared at Lin Qiu, who was in the shape of an explosive head, and his voice was a little panicked. After all, the imperial capital is the territory of that unscrupulous saintess, even if she becomes an ancestor-level monster, she has to go away - most of the eight calamities that were arrogant and domineering before are now working for human beings, and as the ninth ancestor-level monster, she has to be especially careful......

And the atmosphere at the moment is really weird.

Despite saying this, the innocent Phoenix seriously thought about the possibility that she was caught stealing bread, and that the stall owner who was stealing bread was still Queen Richard.

"Really...... I really can't help you, you stay here, I'll ask. ”

As he spoke, Phoenix walked over to the young man who was hiding behind the wall and peeking out.

A few minutes later, Phoenix brought back the young man who was looking at him.

This young man they all knew - Julius.

The main reason why Julius didn't act with Mr. Jeff was that Jeff was captured by the Kingdom Army at the moment and was under careful investigation. After listening to Julius's account, Phoenix was visibly relieved, she patted the proud chest that had regained her strength and said, "Fortunately...... It turned out that Prince Richard was assassinated, and I thought I had been caught stealing toast!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Then Lin Qiu's hair stood up: "What's good! Why didn't that guy have braids not long after I left!"

"Calm down, Boss Tyr. Julius comforted: "Prince Richard hasn't braided yet, he's just unconscious." It's just that after this vicious incident spread, everyone was afraid to avoid it, for fear that others would suspect them. There is a suspicion that Henry VI finally attacked Richard after securing the throne, but everything that has recently been investigated points to one person......"

"Could it be that Mr. Jeff ......" Lin Qiu covered his forehead in despair: "I told him a long time ago not to carry out those dangerous trainings!"

"No, Sect Leader Jeff was arrested because he was drunk and made harassing remarks to a certain Kingdom Army officer. ”

"Then the person you are talking about is ......"

At this time, Lin Qiu was also a little confused.

Excluding Albert's words, there are only a handful of people who have the ability to make Richard tragically murdered, and in addition to the fact that he was not in the imperial capital before and had a perfect alibi, the last person undoubtedly pointed to ...... That's right, only this guy who has been working with Richard all day has a chance to kill Richard.

If the "murderer" is Lilith, then it is likely that when Richard was traveling with Lilith, he happened to encounter the gas leak of Ravenhall's alchemy experiment.

"It's not Lilith either. Julius said categorically: "The man who was poisoned by Ravenhall is Ben-Don Quixote, who is now being treated in the hospital. ”

"How many people have been killed?"

"The words of the victim......" Julius snapped his fingers and counted carefully: "In addition to Ben-Don Quixote, Lilith's subordinates Bourne and Senna had an argument over a dust girl in the 'Aurora Horn', but they were beaten into the hospital by Captain Stian who passed by as a prostitute, and at the same time entered the hospital as Dean Alid, who accidentally flashed his waist while watering the flowers...... In short, since the assassination of Prince Richard, bad things have followed. ”

Julius summed it up this way.

"Don't blame Prince Richard for everything! these are obviously involved in irrelevant incidents, and any dean who can sprain his waist by watering a flower, retire me quickly!"

"After talking for a long time, you haven't told us who is being suspected now. Compared with the excited Lin Qiu, Phoenix was a lot calmer, and she asked in a word.

Referring to this topic, Julius propped his chin with his left hand and behaved in the style of "an unnamed insider": "It's Princess Sophia." ”

It is reported that before Prince Richard was seriously injured and fell into a coma, he received an invitation from Princess Sophia to visit a famous nuns college together, and the visit process was extremely smooth. After speaking, the two had an in-depth visit.

However, on the way back to the palace, Prince Richard suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious, and still shows no signs of improvement.

The investigation showed that during this process, Prince Richard spent a considerable period of time alone with Princess Sophia, and Princess Sophia had enough time to poison or arrange a killer.

This is the most mainstream public opinion orientation recently, and Princess Sophia has not expressed its attitude towards this statement for the time being.

"The source of the message is ......"

Lin Qiu suddenly seemed to understand something.

"The Imperial Capital is incredible. Julius replied.

"You have been deceived, and eighty percent of the content in the daily newspaper is apocryphal. ”

"Why?" Julius didn't know. Could it be that even the always neutral "Imperial Capital Incredible Daily" was involved in this political struggle?

"No, no, no, you're thinking too complicated. ”

Lin Qiu waved his hand: "There is no political struggle, it is written like this, purely because Ella is a Sophia black!"
