Chapter 604 The highest state of life is to know it, but never say it from your own mouth
In the eyes of the nobles, the place where the nobles are confined under the mountain is the most terrifying place, and some nobles even feel that even if they die, it is much more comfortable than being thrown into the mountain by the royal family.
In fact, it can't be said that the royal family is excessive, giving you food, giving you drink, you can have whatever you want, what else do you want? It is nothing more than not letting these nobles leave the limited range, but within the limited range, they can also move around, and no one restricts the absolute freedom of the nobles, except that they cannot go out of that circle. But even so, there are still some nobles who are driven crazy, but even if they are crazy, they can't leave, unless they die, or completely lose their titles.
Prince Kant has understood his future situation, he is not very worried, after eating and drinking, he still thinks about calling a few maids to play with him for a night, and vent and indulge well.
He lay down on the soft bed, threw the finished bottle aside, curled up like a child in the womb of his mother, and gradually entered the dream.
Early the next morning, a shrill cry alarmed most of the guests on the Gold Coast. The guests who live here are often either rich or expensive, and the Grand Steward of the Gold Coast, accompanied by the Golden Circle District Guard, entered the Royal Suite on the fifth floor with a gloomy face.
At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered in the royal suite, all of them were powerful people with heads and faces, and they looked at Prince Kant who was still sleeping on the bed with different expressions, and their eyes flashed with some strange light.
Prince Kant died, on the queen bed in the master bedroom of the Gold Coast Royal Suite, and it can be seen that he died very peacefully, without the slightest sin. He still had an innocent smile like a baby on his face, and if it weren't for the fact that his pale and purple face made him look a little weird, no one would simply think that he was dead.
"Who was with you last night?, find me someone!", the chief steward suppressed the anger in his heart, and there was a hint of trilling in his words, and the matter was furious. If it was just a rich man who died, then it was as if it hadn't happened, and the nobles behind the Gold Coast would have shut up everyone in the know. It doesn't matter if even a small nobleman dies, it's just a matter of sitting down and talking, finding a balance that both sides can bear, and the matter will be resolved naturally.
But it was a prince who died, the youngest brother of the Empress of Pars, and the nature of the whole thing was completely different.
Twenty or so maids and more than a dozen male attendants were escorted in, and the panic on their faces betrayed the panic in their hearts, and the gaze of the chief steward swept over each of their faces like a falcon, and finally rested on the maid who had found Prince Kant dead in the morning. He pointed at the woman, "You were the first to find out that Prince Kant was dead in the morning?"
In fact, the chief steward is not qualified to hear such a case, not even to question it. But the nobles behind him told him that he had to find out as much as he could about what was going on between the royal investigation team. Only in this way can the nobles find a way to settle this matter as much as possible. If they don't know anything, they can't do anything.
The maid nodded, not daring to say a word, she was so frightened that she was still trembling.
The chief steward took a deep breath and asked, "Who spent the night with His Highness last night?" ”
The maid shook her head, "No...... , His Highness is alone, and there is no one to spend the night with him. ”
The chief steward breathed a sigh of relief, so basically the death of Prince Kant had nothing to do with the Gold Coast, he nodded imperceptibly, and asked again: "Who did His Highness see yesterday?"
The maid's gaze flashed on the faces of several women on the side, and then she said, "Your Highness came during the day, and after sleeping a little, the Prime Minister came to visit, and His Highness and the Prime Minister had dinner together and then rested alone. ”
The chief steward frowned, how could he have a relationship with that greedy old dog again?
Vito's greed is well known, his greed for power, wealth, and land is like a wild dog on the prairie that wants to bite into anything.
Just as the archsteward was about to continue his questioning to get rid of the Gold Coast suspicion, Vito arrived.
He was followed by several alchemists, as well as several prosecutors. He glanced at the crowded crowd and squeezed a few syllables out of his slightly open lips, "Get out of here." ”
The aristocrats and tycoons who had seen the bustle left with a smile, leaving only the chief steward and the maids and men.
Vito took out a warrant of appointment and shook it in front of the chief steward, "From now on, these people and the fifth floor will be taken over by me, and until this matter is over, I have absolute power, let those people behind you stay honest, and don't do some meaningless things, which will drag them down." Vito walked to the side of the bed and glanced at Prince Kant, whose face was blue, and then looked at the several alchemists behind him, "I'll trouble you next." ”
The alchemists skillfully took out all kinds of utensils and potions from their bags, and they first broke open Prince Kant's stiff mouth, probably with too much force, and directly removed Prince Kant's chin. Then they poured a black bubbling substance into the mouth of Prince Kant, and the clerk kept a constant record of the process, making sure that the most authentic process was recorded in the most unpretentious words.
One of the alchemists explained, "It's a very inclusive potion, and any poisonous substance can react to it. If Prince Kant had been poisoned, he would soon have foamed different colors from his mouth and nose. The alchemist pulled out a fine pocket watch from his bosom and placed it in his hand to stare at the slow-moving second hand, and it took about five minutes before he put it back in his bosom.
He took out a soft tube and shoved it roughly into the mouth of Prince Kant, and then pinched the bubble made of sheep's bladder on the other end of the tube. After pulling it out, he put the other end into a bottle, squeezed the sheep's bladder again, and a stream of black medicine was squeezed out.
He nodded, closed the bottle and placed it in an empty box next to him, which would eventually be handed over to the Imperial Academy for a second review.
"I'm not sure if he was poisoned, but judging from the reaction to the poison detection potion, His Highness doesn't have any known poison in his stomach. "Next, we will cut open His Highness's body to find the real cause of his death." As we examine more corpses, we find a common phenomenon that bluish faces are often related to the heart and lungs, so we'll start here. ”
The clerk continued to carry out his duties without moving, and Vito frowned and took a few steps back, disgusting.
They broke off the arm of Prince Kant when he laid him flat, of course, this is already a harmless thing, and he is already dead anyway. The sharp knife cut two intersecting diagonal lines along the collarbones on both sides of Prince Kant, and then cut into Prince Kant's lower abdomen in one breath in the middle of his chest. Two alchemists stood on either side of Prince Kant's corpse and forcefully slashed open his chest.
A foul smell instantly filled the room, and Vito immediately turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door, he couldn't stand the smell.
The chief steward outside the door immediately greeted him, nodding with a flattering smile and standing beside Vito.
"Tell those behind you, no matter what reason Prince Kant died here, they will be held responsible. Vito's tone was very cold, which made the chief steward's heart jump, "Let them come to me tomorrow night, and I will report everything to Your Majesty, and the final result will be decided by Your Majesty." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the maids and male attendants on the side, and said with a sneer on his face: "These people are locked up first, and before the results come out, if there is one person missing, you will fill it in yourself." ”
The chief steward nodded in agreement, but his eyes shone with a palpitating glow.
For him, this is really an unwarranted disaster, and he will certainly not be better, but these people will be more uncomfortable and miserable than him!
It didn't take long for the alchemists to come out of the room, and the man in the lead looked at Vito and nodded, "It's basically been checked." ”
Vito groaned for a few seconds and walked with them down the hallway.
"Sudden death, this is our unanimous judgment. The alchemist is obviously not the first time to deal with big people, he knows what method to use to communicate with these nobles, "My personal judgment is that Prince Kant has been in a relatively tense and extreme environment, and after returning to the imperial capital, he has obviously been overly relaxed, plus I noticed that he has had sex with multiple women, as well as overeating, which can easily irreversibly change his fragile heart." ”
"Of course, we can't be 100% sure that His Highness's death has nothing to do with the actions of others, we just summarize what we see. As for the rest of the matter, you can continue to come to me if you need to. ”
Vito pursed his lips, "Thank you for your help, thank you!"
The alchemists were polite and quickly left. In fact, they don't want to get involved in such a thing, and even if they find something abnormal, they won't say it. After all, this involves a prince who once had the strength to compete for the throne, maybe there is a huge conspiracy in this? They are not politicians, nor are they careerists, but a group of alchemists, and things like this can be avoided if they can be avoided, and if they are contaminated, there is no good result.
