Chapter XVIII

Although the egret boasted of Haikou, it was not so simple to find the killer. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In this regard, neither its own assistance system nor the time sprites can help in this regard.

Now, I can only rely on my love for detective novels and mystery stories to reason by myself. However, there are too few clues at present, and the egret has no clue at all.

The guards who went to the security device to look for the records returned, "The security records show that only three people have been on the roof today, in that order, the military attachΓ©, the lighting engineer An Lu, and the captain. ”

"The captain just came up, and the last one is a matter of course. An Lu is Yulina's entourage, and I'm afraid that the suspicion cannot be ruled out, although I don't know how it got down. And, of course, myself. But I've been in the open square below since the dinner, as many people can attest. The military attache said with a frown.

"Anyway, now it's time to find Yulina's lighting engineer first, and if you can't rule out his suspicion, you have to control him first. "The captain has no other target to choose from, so he decides first.

While listening, the egret also took the sniper rifle and looked at it carefully for a while. There was a faint wave of magic on the gun's body, which seemed to be a residual fluctuation that had only been fired for a short time. spread throughout the barrel of the gun.

Originally, when he was with the night cat, the egret also knew a little about firearms, according to the knowledge that the night cat once said, because the guns in this world are driven by the power of magic explosions, the recoil is not as strong as the powder guns on the earth where the egret is located. Even if it is a sniper rifle, and with a mana-powered gun, the accuracy will be increased by mana adjustments. Snipers do not even need to judge the environment strictly in the case of non-ultra-long-range shooting, relying solely on the performance of the gun itself to hit the target. In other words, a killer with such advanced equipment as a hunting sniper rifle does not have to be a professional sniper.

"I can't get any more clues at the moment. The egret thought about it for a while, and realized that there was still too little information available, and the first direction now was to find out the reason why the killer attacked Yulina.

Thinking about this, the egret did not delay on the roof of the airship, and left immediately.

As soon as I arrived at the upper floor, I saw Aopu, a fat man, walking over quickly, and the whole person looked very impatient. When he saw the egret, he was in good spirits and immediately walked towards the egret.

"Your Excellency Egret Knight!" said Opple, "it's really good that you're okay. I was scared to see you rushing out just now. ”

"Wait. "Being so cared about by a fat man, it's still a man. The egret only felt a chill, "Something happened again." ”

"What's wrong?" Opple was stunned, "No, no, after the shooting just now, everyone quickly withdrew from the open square." It was a mess just now, and I saw that your master and the Siren singer went back to the room together, but they didn't see you, and they thought that you were injured, so they came out to ask the staff. ”

"Luckily, a sniper shot at that speed didn't hurt me. "Egret is also an elite professional, and his physical agility can already despise most shooting weapons. "Nina and Yulina went together?"

"Sure enough, he is a knight. Op first exclaimed, then replied. "Yes, Your Excellency, I saw them enter the room together, and there were many guards, I am afraid that the singer was afraid that His Excellency Nina would be in danger alone, so she protected her and went back to the room together. ”

Protect Nina and go back to the room?The corner of the egret's mouth twitched, this guy is afraid that he has completely reversed. I'm afraid that a few of them tied together are not Nina's opponents, let alone what kind of killer they are. Even in the face of the bullet just now, the egret did not feel any threat at all. This shows that the strength of this killer is not high at all.

However, judging from her appearance alone, Nina, who wore an evening dress, was completely a weak and unruly aristocratic lady, and it was no wonder that Op thought so.

Op took the egret and walked to Yulina's room, the second room of the stateroom. There were two fierce guards standing at the door, and when they saw the egret approaching, they hurriedly saluted.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your help. One of the guards said gratefully, "I'll go and inform Mademoiselle of your arrival." ”

The egret said a few polite words, and the guard entered the room, and after a few seconds, the door opened again, and Yulina suddenly walked in the front.

"Your Excellency Knight!" Yulina still wore a veil, but this time she looked at the egret like a bright full moon, and almost caught the egret's eyes.

"Thank you very much for your life-saving grace. Yulina's voice was excited and grateful, and the effect of the charm was amplified a lot. "If there's anything you can do for you, please let me know. Although Yulina is not a big person, she is confident that she has made a lot of friends. ”

"Hawkers, I just happened to see a strange reflection, and I didn't save you to repay anything, but just a subconscious act at the time. ”

Yulia's eyes smiled, and her voice became softer. "It's all the more proof of your noble qualities, isn't it? ”

Egret really felt that if he continued to discuss, even if he was cheeky, he couldn't help but blush from being praised. Fortunately, there are serious people who can't stand it even more than him.

"Did you catch the attacker?" Nina stepped forward, she didn't know why, but she felt a little irritated in her heart.

The egret shook his head, and then said, "It just so happens that I also have something to ask Miss Yulina." Also, Nina, I'd like to ask you something. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. But standing here is not a good way to entertain, so please take a seat, Nini, and prepare some fruit wine for you. ”

Everyone sat down with Yulina, the large living room of the special seat was very comfortable, Nini was Yulina's personal maid, her hands and feet were nimble, and she quickly gave everyone ice and fruit wine and took some desserts with it, and brought it up.

"Miss Yulina, with all due respect, do you have any clue about this attacker who wants to assassinate you?" asked the egret as he watched Yulina take a sip of fruit wine and was almost calm.

Yulina frowned when she heard this, "I became famous as a Kraken, and I haven't really been called a singer for a long time, and it's only been 3 years now. The reputation is not to the extent that everyone in the mainland is known. At most, it is more popular in the Kazan and Dean empires. I don't think there will be a competitor who will exclude me in this way. ”

The singing industry is actually a proud circle, and in the peaceful era when the culture of circulation is prevalent, the song culture is very prosperous, and to a certain extent, it can even affect people's emotions and wishes. Therefore, not only is it not allowed in the circle, but even the major empires will not allow anyone to compete in such an important field of cultural propaganda in an unfair way.

So today, all the singers who dream of singing compete with better songs and more beautiful voices. It can be said to be an ideal environment. And Egret's question just now is equivalent to a part of the suspicion that there are other people in Yulina's circle who are also singers who violate this kind of rule. This is disrespectful remarks to the cultural industry of singers.

The egret also sensed the unpleasantness in Yulina's words, and realized that he was a little reckless. "I'm sorry, I may have been a little reckless. I'm just wondering, Yulina, some of your recent events, to see if there are any clues. ”

"What's going on recently?" Yulina still didn't have a clue.

"So why are you going to the Kazan Empire?"

"Because of the invitation of the Marquis of Sanro, of the Kazan Empire. The Marquis of Sanroe gave me a lot of financial support when I was in my last days. Yulina paused and said, "The Marquis of Sanroe is a venerable elder, and there are countless Kazans who have been sponsored by him. I'm just one of the lucky ones. ”

That being the case, kindness is kindness. Now that she has the opportunity to repay her, Yulina will naturally not shirk.

"So, do you know what you were invited to negotiate with you?"

Yulina shook her head, "I didn't ask. I just felt that the tone of the message from Marquis Sanroo was very urgent, as if there was something urgent. ”

"That Marquis of Sanro, I think I might know something. Op suddenly said, "I once donated some funds to the foundation of the Marquis of Sanro, and I am quite familiar with the Marquis of Sanro. Some time ago, there were rumors in aristocratic circles that the Marquis of Sanroe seemed to be in conflict with the domain of the nearby Count of Bayrot. These two are great nobles! They are very strong, and now the two sides are tense every day, and they are very topical in aristocratic circles. ”

"So, the Marquis of Sanroo asked Yulina to go to his domain because of conflict? The egret felt that the two were not connected, but Op said something more important.

"Miss Yulina is not a general, but she is the ambassador of the Marquis of Sanro. That's where you came from, isn't it?" The last sentence was addressed to Yulina.

"Yes. Yulina nodded slightly, there are many people who know this, and it is not something to hide.

"Then Miss Yulina returned to the territory of the Marquis of Sanro, and she must have done a pre-war mobilization to boost morale. This is a preparation arrangement, so it is relatively possible that Count Bairot will ask someone to assassinate the symbol of the Marquis of Sanro's territory in order to reduce the morale of the Marquis of Sanro. Op felt that his explanation was the most probable, and said it to everyone.

"I am afraid it doesn't make sense. It may be more efficient to assassinate Yulina to lower the morale of the soldiers in Marquis Sanro's domain. For example, spreading rumors, or creating **** and other ways. ”

Even after listening to the information provided by Yulina and Opple, the egret still felt confused. Whether it is the reason for the competitor, or the means by which the parties to the conflict strike each other before the war. None of them were sufficient, because the interest in killing Yulina was not enough to support the reason to offend both the airship operators and the Kazan nobles.

"Then this reason for wanting to kill Yulina will definitely gain benefits far beyond the event itself. The egret thought to himself, maybe something might be better

The imagination is complex.
