"The inner city is not a few miles from the church, but it is the most dangerous part of the kingdom of Talon, arrogance, laziness, debauchery, chaos, this is all there is to this castle, I hope this matter will be brought to the attention of the headquarters' - from Antony's letter to the imperial capital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This was the first time since Empress Leah took the throne that Anthony had personally visited the inner city, and then he was almost so angry that he had a heart attack at the entrance to the inner city.

His experience can be summed up simply:

Backpack: Salted Fish +1.

Sister Nataya, in spite of her anger, brought a whole salted fish to Bishop Anthony. It's better to get salted fish all the time than to be empty-handed.

However, in Lin Qiu's opinion, appeasing the jumping nun is not much different from appeasing the naughty Lori, thinking that he has experienced the triple test of Liya, Anna, and Rose along the way, he has long been familiar with this skill.

Only Julius was unrelenting about it: "Yes, I remember, you stole the salted fish of the guards, and it was the biggest one!"

"All said and done, it's just an ordinary routine investigation. Lin Qiu said as he pushed open the door of the barracks.

The construction of the barracks is much simpler than the other buildings in the inner city, and I am afraid that it is the only building that has not been reflected on since the reconstruction of the inner city. The beds of the guards were neatly arranged on either side of the barracks, and in the center of the barracks was a stove with a mysterious soup in which the ingredients were unrecognizable, and according to Julius, throwing a mess into the pot was a skill of the soldiers. The life of the guards was often extremely simple, except for their own standing guard work, they would almost always stay in the barracks in their spare time, and spend the night singing and dancing in good spirits.

And their beds can only be described as dirty and messy, the unloaded armor is thrown everywhere, and when Lin Qiu passed by, he also found a few best-selling little yellow books that were not hidden under the pillows.

"As I said a long time ago, all the guards went on patrol today, and there was no one here. Julius's tone was very dissatisfied, and it was better to stay in the small garden in a daze or simply take a nap after running all the way.

"Isn't that human?" Lin Qiu pointed to the guards at the end of the barracks who were sitting on the bed in a daze. A heavy chest sat beside him, and the bed looked out of place around him. The quilt was neatly folded, and the sheets were flattened, and the unloaded armor and long sword were all placed on the side of the bed.

It looks like a roll and a roll away.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Julius?" the man heard footsteps and turned his head, "I'm about to submit my resignation to Captain Ziegler." ”

Julius asked him, "What happened?"

Most of the inner city guards were personally selected by Ziegler, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a die-hard loyalist. And don't look at the living environment of the inner city guards, but their Yulu is the highest among the four formations, and they also have more access to some powerful people than the kingdom army of other formations, which is a position that countless people want to join during the second great conscription.

It's definitely unusual for an inner city guard not to want to do it—especially in such a stressful environment.

The man was silent about Julius's questioning, and he didn't seem to want to comment on the matter.

"Is it because your friend was assassinated?" Lin Qiu asked coldly. The man sitting on the bed had a slight fluctuation in his eyes, his dry lips moved, and he asked, "How do you know?"

"Just because of this?" Lin Qiu deliberately asked in a rather impulsive tone.

And the man of character really responded to his words: "Yes, because of this incident, we are all retired veterans, and we have come to the inner city to serve as guards in response to Captain Ziegler's call." Captain Ziegler was once a good soldier and a rare good commander, his family died in the war, and he regarded all his men as his own relatives, which is why many of us have long been tired of fighting, but still follow him without hesitation!"

But he had changed. Lin Qiu glanced at Julius and continued.

"Yes, Captain Ziegler has changed. The man's tone was both confused and a little sad: "Two of our brothers have been assassinated, one of them was an organization called the Silent Rose, and we told Captain Ziegler everything we knew, but guess what he said?"

The man paused: "He even said, 'Don't say anything about it'! Not only did he stop us from stopping the Assassins, but he ordered us to stand by and watch, and he didn't even ask Captain Corria for help - this is definitely not something that Captain Ziegler could do with the people we once knew, some of them were already dissatisfied with Captain Ziegler's approach, and to me ......"

He took a deep breath: "It's time to quit. The current captain is no longer worth following. ”

......

It had been more than ten minutes since he left the barracks, which made Lin Qiu regret that apart from the soldier's words, there were no useful clues left in the barracks. But Lin Qiu basically confirmed that the situation of Moore Powell's whistleblowing was basically true, which means that perhaps Issai Haworg was really involved in the matter.

In other words, the three most prominent celebrities in the Imperial Capital all have ill intentions towards Riya, and so far, he has not figured out which of them is trying to assassinate her.

It seems that the situation in the Kingdom of Tarun is not as optimistic as he imagined, and it is more difficult to guard against this kind of secret action than directly scolding Luthor in. Perhaps the nobles had learned Luther's lesson and resorted to more covert and lethal methods.

"It seems that your observation skills are not so good. Lin Qiu teased.

He could be sure that Julius was an upright young man of his word, and that he would skew him at the first opportunity—apparently that he was still angry about breaking his sword.

Julius was sullen, but he couldn't refute the other party.

Ziegler has a problem, and Issey Hayvog doesn't seem to be at ease, but it is Moll Powell, who he dislikes the most, who tells the truth this time. That's why he doesn't like these power games, everything you see, everything you hear, someone choreographs.

"Look hard, study hard!" Lin Qiu was quite proud: "There is an important law in detective science - generally the one who looks the most like a prisoner is often innocent, and the one who looks the most innocent is likely to be the culprit of everything...... What does that sentence make you think of?"

Lin Qiu felt that at this time, any unintentional words could be the key to solving the problem. He had little understanding of the relationship between the nobles, but the upright Julius was able to solve this dilemma.

"The one who seems to be the most innocent is probably the culprit of everything......" Julius silently said earnestly, and the next moment, he suddenly raised his voice in realization: "I know! So, the real murderer turned out to be the head maid Karen!"

"Poof—"

Lin Qiu hesitated: "Forget it, I'd better think about it myself." ”
