238 The eyes are innocent
"Chief Barry wasn't killed, he committed suicide."
In the King's bedchamber, Mary threw out this final conclusion.
"Self, suicidal?!"
Hearing her words, the butler Ou Lei's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity, while the royal brother Preben on the side was expressionless, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"That's right." Nodding, Mary told the ultimate truth.
"In the middle of last night, Chief Barry came to His Majesty's bedroom alone, carrying in his hand the briefcase he usually carried, which contained two things, a dagger and a small block of Xiaoice stuffed throughout the briefcase.
Needless to say, the Xiaoice cube was made by Chief Barry from the large refrigerator in his office, and we found traces of use on the ice tray plates in the refrigerator.
By the way, I guess it was because Chief Bali used to visit His Majesty in the middle of the night, so the guards didn't stop him last night and didn't search him, right? ”
As she spoke, Mary suddenly turned her head to look at the guards at the door of the room behind her.
"Yes, yes."
Straightening up in an instant, the soldier nodded subconsciously, and hurriedly replied: "Chief Bali used to come to the dormitory late at night to discuss important matters with His Majesty the King, and many times he would not leave until the next morning, so, so ......"
The soldier said no more, but everyone present understood what he meant.
Bali was an important minister of the kingdom, and this was a common occurrence, so last night, the soldier who had already slackened did not search for Bali, and let him carry the briefcase into the dormitory.
Retracting her gaze, Mary continued: "After entering the bedchamber, Chief Barry did not wake His Majesty, who had already fallen asleep with sleeping pills, and immediately began his own murder method.
The technique was very simple, he first poured out all the Xiaoice blocks in the briefcase, stacked them on the carpet in front of His Majesty's bed, and inserted the blade of the dagger upwards into it to fix it.
Then he moved the chair in front of the desk in the room, stood on it at an angle, and fell down with his back to the dagger held in place by the ice......"
"What?!" Listening to Mary's story, Ou Lei subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth.
His own weight was blessed by gravity, and after Chief Barry fell from his chair, the dagger stabbed him in the chest without any suspense.
Soon after, Chief Barry died of his injuries, and the pile of Xiaoice he had used to hold the dagger turned into clear water after a night, seeping into the carpet beneath him, and finally becoming the scene seen by Auret's butler this morning. ”
With that, Mary looked at Auray again, and her tone was much softer.
"At about half past six this morning, Steward Ou Ray came to the bedchamber because he was about to bring breakfast to His Majesty, and saw Chief Barry lying on the carpet.
You subconsciously think that the prefect of Bali had a conflict with His Majesty, causing His Majesty to kill him in a fit of rage.
After seeing this, instead of waking up His Majesty the King from his slumber, you quietly push the body of Chief Barry down the window, clean the room of the bloodstains, and carry the blood-stained carpet away with the help of a cart.
From His Majesty's point of view, Aurelin is indeed a very faithful steward, and your real purpose in doing all this is not to cover up Bali's death, but rather to bring his death to you.
You know very well that Bali is a great minister of the kingdom, so his death will be strictly pursued by the police, and you have decided to become the murderer in the name of murder for the sake of His Majesty's majesty.
Therefore, you deliberately put that blood-stained carpet in Barry's office, deliberately walked through the central courtyard, so that the maid named Esther noticed your actions, and even deliberately showed obvious flaws in front of me and Xiaoying.
All of this is a deliberate misleading ...... by you in order to direct the blame to yourself."
"Ou Lei ......"
Behind Ou Lei, Heningu looked at him, his voice old and weak.
She said...... Is it true? ”
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I ......" Ou Lei turned around, faced Heningu, and replied with red eyes and bowed his head: "I was so nervous at the time, I subconsciously thought it was Your Majesty and you ......"
Hearing this, Heningu only shook his head lightly and did not speak.
"So, is that the truth?"
And beside Mary, the look on the face of the royal brother Preben couldn't help but be moved after listening to this reasoning.
He looked at Ou Lei with tears in his eyes.
"Ou Lei, I blamed you before, I didn't expect you to be so loyal to Brother Wang, I didn't expect the truth of the matter to be so unexpected......"
Caught a little off guard by his words, Ole paused for a moment before he hurriedly spoke: "Please don't say that, Your Highness Preben, you haven't done anything wrong......
"No, it was indeed me who was reckless this time, but after all, Balita is an important minister of our kingdom and has a high reputation among the people, and the matter of his murder really needs to be dealt with strictly and quickly, only in this way can we give a proper explanation to the people, just ......"
As he spoke, the conversation suddenly changed, and Preben looked at Heningu on the bed, and asked in a curious tone:
"Brother Wang, there is one thing I still don't understand, why did Barita have to commit suicide in your bedroom to frame you?
Brother Wang, is there any special reason for Palitha to do this? ”
Preben's eyes were curious, innocent, and he really didn't know why, and he seemed to really want to know.
For a moment, there was an eerie silence in the room.
Heningu closed his eyes and did not answer, and Preben did not seem to be in a hurry, just looked at his royal brother, waiting for his answer.
[The final drama is finally coming......]
Mary raised her hand and pushed her sunglasses, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
At the door of the dormitory, captain Hans raised his hand to cover his mouth, yawned a little tiredly, he raised his hand to summon the guard soldier next to him, whispered a few words in his ear, only to see the soldier nod his head sharply, and then turned and walked away quickly.
And in the bedroom, Mary, who had been paying attention to him with her eyes, took in this scene.
"That, His Royal Highness Preben......" It seemed that he couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, Ou Lei looked at Preben and couldn't help but speak:
"I think now that the cause of Chief Barry's death is clear, it might as well be ...... today."
"It's because of that incident ten years ago."
Suddenly, a voice in the room that everyone didn't expect sounded, interrupting Ole's words.
Mary looked at Karasuma Ying beside her, who suddenly spoke, in great surprise.
[This kid?! 】
But soon, as if she had guessed something, she turned her head sharply to look at Hans at the door, only to find that Hans also had a very surprised look on his face.
【Why......】
And on the hospital bed, Heninggu, who had closed his eyes and didn't say a word, also suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Karasuma Ying at this moment, his eyes sharp.
It looks like tomorrow will be the end of the Kingdom chapter
(End of chapter)
