Chapter 20: Reasoning

The peaceful continent has entered the middle of the night, and often the deeper the night, the darker it becomes. Although the dark clouds www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Pavilion are not dense, there are one or two that cover the full moon. Where there were no lights, it was pitch black.

The airship was still flying safely, and from the outside, it looked as if nothing had happened.

After a baptism in the middle of the night, the open-air square where the attack took place was finally cleaned up. The original rostrum, tables and chairs have been completely cleaned up, and the floating lights have been removed, leaving only some fixed white lights. The whole open-air square was much darker.

The egret stood in the center of the square, with a professional grill beside him, and skewers of barbecued meat that had been specially grilled by the egret were handed out of his hand and taken by a delicate hand.

That's right, Nina didn't eat enough.

The party was interrupted by an attack in the middle of the feast, so Nina only enjoyed the appetizer and soup, but did not eat the main course or main course. After a few hours of busy spending time with the egret, Nina was rightfully hungry.

However, Nina was not the only one who accompanied the barbecue, and Oppe, a big businessman, ate it unconsciously, even though he was a good businessman who ran Kazan's most famous cake chain, and he was full of praise for the barbecue made by the egret.

In addition to Opple, there were several guests.

Yulina's eating is simply the difference between a fairy and a beast compared to Op, even if it is a simple action of using a fork, it can be called a landscape. It was also the first time she had eaten such delicious food. Because of the egret by her side, Yulina felt very secure and relaxed and enjoyed the food.

And the military attache and the captain, who were also guests, were not so relaxed. The two of them sit in front of the food, occasionally eat a bite of barbecue, and their expressions are like chewing meat. It's no wonder that the killer is missing, Yulina is still in danger, and there is security responsibility for an incident such as an assassination attack, which is like a stone pressing down on her chest. How can you make the two main characters on the airship feel at ease?

"Your Excellency Egret, if you just come to us to taste the barbecue together, I am already full, and I still have a lot of work to do, so I will take my leave. The military attache stood up first, although he did not understand and was even a little angry at the egret for telling him to run to the open square to eat at this time, but he still did not dare to say anything serious.

The egret didn't stop the barbecue, slowly skewered another string, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you only ate ordinary four-pointed beast meat, but there are still superb empty beast meat here that you haven't tasted." ”

The military attache laughed angrily, "I'm not as leisurely as Your Excellency, and early the day after tomorrow, the airship will arrive in Starlight City." We only had less than a day to check on the passengers, and once we got to the ground, the devil knows what the killer would do to get out. ”

"Well, I don't think the killer will leave at all. The egret was still smiling, but with a little more mockery on his face.

"What do you mean?" the military attache frowned, "Does this killer dare to continue attacking?"

"I don't know if he dares to continue the attack, I just know that if Your Excellency leaves now, he will definitely regret not arresting him with his own hands. ”

"What?!"

As soon as the egret said this, everyone stopped moving. His eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at the egret closely.

"Rest easy. The egret continued to roast the meat, and after a while, a guard walked in from outside the square, and said a few words in the egret's ear with a complicated face.

The egret nodded at the guards, and then said to everyone, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, so now I'll tell you what I'm looking for." I've managed to find the killer. ”

"What?"

"Really?!"

Everyone was stunned and made a sound of disbelief.

"I'm certainly not joking about this kind of thing. "But if you want to know who the killer is, you must first understand why the killer attacked Yulina." ”

"Isn't it because of the conflict between the Marquis of Thornroe and the Count of Bayrot?" asked Opple casually, still confident in his judgment.

"That's right. The egret nodded affirmatively, but just when Op was happy, he continued: "The reason for the matter is indeed because of the conflict between the two domains of Marquis Sanro and Count Bairot over the water source, but it is not because killing Yulina can hit the morale of the Marquis of Sanro's domain. ”

Op felt his initial joy being dragged down. Before he could ask, the egret continued: "Let's imagine, the two lords are both great nobles of Kazan, their armies are strong, and they both occupy many water sources, why do they have to fight because of a single Fanyuan Lake? This is more than worth the loss for the two great nobles. ”

"The Kazan Empire is a business-oriented empire, and I think everyone here knows more than I need what the business environment needs most. It's not money, it's not resources, what business needs most is a stable environment!"

Everyone was shocked, yes, as the most needed for business exchanges, is a stable environment. Both resources and money are interchangeable in business activities. Even if the Count of Bayrot bought water resources, it was far more cost-effective than fighting a war. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and resources can be exchanged for commerce.

"In this case, it still does not explain the behavior of the Marquis of Sanroe and the Count of Bairot. Yulina had also heard Op's explanation during the meal just now, and she was suspicious at the moment.

"That's easy to understand. You should know about the Council of Nobles. The egret smiled.

"Of course, the Council of Nobles is the most important department of power in the Kazan Empire. Are you saying that the Council of Nobles will intervene in the conflict between the two nobles?"

"Of course the Council of Nobles does. After all, although the Kazan Empire was strong, it could not withstand the civil war between the two great nobles. Whether it was other realms with which they did business or to ensure the overall military power of the Kazan Empire, the Council of Nobles could not stand idly by in the conflict. Therefore, the Marquis of Sanroo and the Count of Bairot carried out garrisons on both sides of Fanyuan Lake. This is to show that we will seize more initiative at the negotiating table in advance!"

"The so-called conflict, the topic of conversation among the nobles, is deliberately promoted by the two lords, the Marquis of Thornroe and the Count of Bairot, and told the noble council that they will not compromise on this, and if they want to settle the conflict, they must give a way to benefit both parties. This is the true purpose of the two domains of the Marquis of Sanro and the Count of Bayrot. ”

Having said so much in one breath, several people here are not innocent people without social experience, on the contrary, they even have more experience in power schemes than egrets, and they almost instantly agreed with such an explanation.

"But. Egret paused and continued, "What if Yulina, the face of the Marquis of Sanro, is successfully assassinated on the airship by a killer invited by Count Bairot?"

"With Yulina's popularity in Kazan, not to mention the territory of the Marquis of Sanro, I am afraid that several other neighboring territories will also be angry and have a fight with Count Bayrot. Opple immediately asked.

As a popular idol, he is also a character personally supported by the Marquis of Sanro. If Count Bayrot attacks Yulina, then the conflict will definitely no longer be a conflict, even if it is to protect the hearts and minds of the people of his territory and the loyalty of his subordinates, the Marquis of Sanroe will not hesitate to start a war with Count Bayrot. And this is the result that the mastermind behind the assassination of Yulina wants. Bai Lu said word by word, "I'm afraid that the two sides of the conflict are just choosing to gain the initiative, and they have not thought about doing anything further to each other's territory or personnel." The two nobles wanted political goals, and their actions were very restrained. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the fact that they have been facing each other for so long in front of lakes less than a few miles apart, and that no large-scale conflict has broken out. Therefore, it was definitely not either of these two great nobles who wanted Yulina to have an accident, but a third party, a third party who could benefit from the war between the Marquis of Sanro and the Count of Bayrot. ”

"Arms dealer?" Opple is worthy of being in business, and when it comes to interests, he reacts immediately.

"Arms dealers. The egret nodded.

"We know that it was the Dean Empire's high-grade sniper rifle that attacked Yulina, and that this weapon is very difficult to obtain. It is said that only elite professionals who are recognized and registered by the Dean Empire can purchase it. According to Nina's perception, there are no other elite professionals on this airship other than me and Nina. And this is just the first reason why sniper rifles are purchased and used by killers. ”

"Secondly, there is the difficulty of carrying a gun. The size of a sniper rifle is almost 1.2 meters long, and even if it is disassembled, it is impossible to bring it in a small bag. And I don't believe that the military attache and his guard door will not be able to detect a weapon like a sniper rifle at the security check. ”

"Wait, aren't there passengers in the special seats? For example, you did not go through the security check. The captain said suddenly.

"I saved Yulina, so I won't be a killer. Nina is the same. Opp is a Kazan or a food merchant, and there is no benefit in attacking Yulina, and it is impossible for him to be a killer who kills for a little money. Yulina herself will not do anything to herself. And, of course, a group of men in black who enter with hoods. They feel suspicious, but they're just smoke bombs. Because they are Telsis. ”

The Telsis are a continental people, living mainly in the Banko Empire, and they may seem stout, but they are outright violent opponents. There is even a famous saying on the continent that if your empire were all Telsis, then you would not have such an empire.

This means that the Telsi people have no combat ability, but the Telsis are natural artists, and they are famous on the mainland for both dance and painting.

"What's more, the Telsi didn't show up at the dinner. So exclude. ”

"Who else could it be?" the military attache was stunned for a moment, "You can't say it's the airship insider, right?!"

"Is there anything impossible about this?" said Egret with a smile, "Isn't there someone here who is completely unsuspecting and can easily get on the airship with a weapon?"

"Am I right?
