The king's bedrooms were not as luxurious as they might have been.

A large wardrobe, a dresser, a set of bookshelves and desks, and finally the single bed in the corner, where two people slept a little hard, were all the furniture in the king's bedroom.

After inviting the king's brother Preben over, the guards standing guard at the door of the king's chamber were very amuseful and did not stop her any longer.

Mary walked into the dormitory, first glanced at the room, and then focused her gaze on the single bed in the corner.

The curtain on the side of the bed was halfway lifted, and an old man with blond hair lay on the bed.

The old man was dressed in pajamas, his long golden hair was spread haphazardly, his face was long bearded, and his face was withered, and he looked like he was seriously ill.

He is the current king of the kingdom of Andrew, Heninggu.

As if awakened by the sound of the door opening, Heningcourt slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Mary and Preben at the door.

"It's you, Preben......" Heningu said, looking at Preben, in a very weak tone.

"Good morning, Brother Wang, did you sleep well last night?" Next to Mary, a middle-aged man with a beer belly spoke.

The man looked to be fifty or sixty years old, richly dressed and richly built, and it was none other than Heningu's own brother Preben.

"It's all medicine, what's good or bad...... Heningu retracted his gaze, lay flat on the bed, and asked quietly: "Say, what's the matter with coming to my room early in the morning?" ”

Heninggou's tone was marked with obvious rejection and disgust, and Preben was not polite to his own brother, and replied very directly:

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that we found out that Barry was killed in your room last night, so we wanted to come and investigate."

"What? Barre? There was obvious surprise in Heningu's tone.

Mary didn't bother to pay attention to the boring fight between the two men, and she stepped forward and half-crouched down on a floor not far from Henin's bed.

The floor around here is a bit special, it looks a little brighter and cleaner than the floors around it.

Mary felt that the floor around here should have been covered with something like a carpet before, about two meters long and wide, and it was a square carpet.

And on the two-meter-wide floor near the center, Mary also noticed some strange stains.

She took off her sunglasses and bent over to take a closer look at the stain.

[It's a water stain.] 】

With a slight frown, Mary put on her sunglasses, turned to look around the layout of the dormitory again, and finally stopped her gaze on a briefcase on a nearby desk.

She glanced at Herningu and Preben, who were still yin and yang with each other, and walked straight over to open the briefcase.

It's a briefcase with a short pile on the inside, it's empty inside, and there's nothing on it.

The only thing that is a little abnormal is that these linters on the inside of the briefcase are a little awkward to the touch, as if they have been blistered and have not undergone proper maintenance, causing the water on the surface of these linters to stick together after being air-dried.

[It was suicidal.] 】

Recalling the clues she had so far, Mary quickly made up her mind.

It's just that...... Who took the most critical carpet?

Suddenly, Mary thought of the Auray butler who had seemed to be in question before.

"Preben, do you think I killed Barry?" On the other side, Heningu was lying on the bed, and although his tone was weak, he still asked word for word.

"Brother Wang, don't be so excited, I just said that there is such a possibility." Preben put his hands behind his back, with a big belly and a flat expression.

With the briefcase in hand, Mary walked to the door of the dormitory and called out to the guards at the door.

"Is there a carpet in the king's bedchamber?" Mary asked.

"Well, there's a carpet ......," the soldier recalled, nodding back.

"Where's that rug?"

Following Mary's point, the soldier glanced at the floor of the dormitory, then raised his hand and scratched his head, his face full of doubt.

"I don't know about that, but I remember whether the carpet was definitely there, or a piece of green, in the same place in front of His Majesty's bed...... Uh, I think it was taken by the maids when they were cleaning, right? ”

"After Chief Barry came last night, only this morning's Butler Auray has entered the King's bedchamber from time to time?" Mary then asked.

"Yes." The soldier nodded affirmatively.

"Did he leave with anything?"

"With something? No, right...... However, the Auray stewards used a small cart to deliver food to His Majesty, and if anything, it was the cart. ”

"I see."

Nodding, Mary finally gestured to the briefcase in her hand and asked, "Is this briefcase your Majesty's?" ”

"Briefcase?"

The soldier squinted and looked at it carefully, then shook his head repeatedly.

"Absolutely not, His Majesty doesn't usually use a briefcase, and I think it's supposed to be a briefcase for Chief Bali......"

[Is that really the case?] 】

"When Chief Barry came to the King's chambers last night, he carried this briefcase with him." Recalling, the soldier replied affirmatively.

"Did you notice what he was in his bag?" Mary asked.

"I don't know, but I remember that the bag was very bulging, it must have contained a lot of things, and it seemed to be very heavy, and when Chief Barry was carrying it last night, the handle of the bag was straight......

Without further questions, Mary nodded slightly, threading all the information in her mind.

"Buzz."

At this moment, the mobile phone in her pocket suddenly vibrate, and she took it out to see that it was a text message sent to her by Karasuma Ying.

The text messages were long, sending several in quick succession, all of which were Karasuma sharing what she had investigated there, including the carpet and refrigerator in Barry's office, and the whereabouts of the Auray butler this morning.

[That kid isn't slow......]

The corners of Mary's mouth rose slightly, and with the fragments that Karasuma Ying had investigated, she had completely figured out the ins and outs of this incident.

[The murderer has been found and comes to the king's bedchamber. 】

After sending the text message to Karasuma, Mary put away her phone.

"Humph! Yes or no, this is not something you can say alone, Brother Wang! Let's investigate it and use the results to illustrate! ”

In the king's bedchamber, the quarrel between the two men inside also reached a climax at this time, and the soldier was so frightened that his neck shrunk, and he quickly hid behind the door.

"Detective Mary!"

Preben's tone was tinged with anger as he scanned the room and finally found Mary standing in the doorway.

"How's the investigation into the killing of Chief Barry? Has the murderer been found? ”

"Back to His Highness Preben, I've found it." Looking at him, Mary had a faint smile on her face.

Let her think about what she should do next......
