She is in the midst of a national coup.

If Karasuma Ying only had a little doubt about this two days ago, she has completely determined one thing in the investigation of Barry's murder today.

Moreover, this well-planned coup d'état began long before the detectives came to the kingdom, and it can even be said that those royal commissioning invitations themselves were the product of this premeditated coup.

The country can be roughly divided into two factions, namely the king's faction and the king's brother's faction.

The beginning of this coup d'état originated from the mysterious stolen blue sapphire.

According to Barry, the sapphire theft was also related to the princess Freya, so Karasuma Ying wasn't entirely sure if it was a real accident or a trap set by her brother Preben.

But in short, the disappearance of the blue sapphire did give the Wang Di faction an excellent opportunity to act.

Preben, who was in charge of the state, naturally blamed the theft of this royal treasure on the head of the Captain of the Guard, who was in charge of the palace security.

While trying his best to incite and maximize the negative impact of this incident, he constantly put pressure on Biruen, and even gave Biruen a death order that the blue sapphire must be recovered within a month.

Preben's purpose in doing this was simple, and Birune was a man of King Heningu.

As the supreme commander of the Guard, Birune was originally a pawn sent by Heningu to monitor and balance Preben in the name of "assistant".

The Kingdom of Andrew has three armed forces, namely the Guard, the Royal Police, and the Wehrmacht.

Among them, the Royal Police and the Wehrmacht are not allowed to approach the palace at will without the order of the royal family, and only their highest commanders have access to the palace.

As for the last guards, their very existence is in the service of the royal family, and it is their duty to guard the royal palace, so they are also the only armed force that can be permanently stationed in the royal palace.

If Preben wants to carry out a coup d'état, he must find a way to get rid of Birune, the supreme commander of the guard, otherwise whatever he does will be in vain.

And Birune was clearly aware of this, and after sensing Preben's intentions, he did not sit idly by.

Under the pressure of Preben, Birune directly sent a large number of invitations to the detective community of the entire European society in the name of the royal family, gathering these invited detectives to the royal palace and entrusting them with a rich reward to recover the blue sapphire for the royal family.

This move infuriated Preyburn so much that he abandoned his usual political tactics in favor of a simpler and quicker assassination attempt.

So on the day the detectives gathered in the palace annex, Biruen was killed.

Gunner, the former captain of the guard who murdered him, is believed to have secretly defected to Preben's royal brothers.

In Preben's own plan, the hapless escaped prisoner in the dungeon would be blamed for Birune's death, and Guenner, who had murdered Birune, would be quickly promoted to become the new commander of the guard.

As for Bally, Karasuma speculates that he must have a relationship with Preben, but judging by his subsequent actions, Bally is not a true member of the Brotherhood Sect.

The plan to completely eradicate Birune was finalized, but to everyone's surprise, Mary intervened in this plan, she quickly solved the case with great speed, and dug up the real murderer of Gouanna, completely disrupting the plan of Preben and others.

Therefore, in order to block the possibility of everyone continuing to investigate, Gunner decisively chose to commit suicide after his identity was exposed.

After this, Preben did not make any dangerous moves against Mary, who disrupted his deployment, but tried to extend an olive branch to her.

The reason why he did this was also because of many concerns.

A foreign detective who was invited to come here has just solved a big case of murdering an important minister of the kingdom, and he died in the palace for no apparent reason, and the reason behind this can be guessed as long as he is a normal person with a sound mind.

It's spread out, and it's not good for the reputation of the royal family.

What's even more tricky is that if you accidentally get into trouble with those detectives, maybe you will even lure the British government over, and then things will be completely troublesome, after all, the name of the British-stirring stick is known all over the world.

In short, although Preben's purpose was not fully achieved in this plan, at least the most important thing was that Birune was dead.

Marie was rewarded for solving the case, and the post of commander of the guard was put on hold and Hans took over as captain of the guard.

Here Karasuma Ying has reason to suspect that the newly promoted captain Hans is likely to be the one who defected to Preben.

Having solved the thorny problem of the guard to some extent, Preben couldn't wait to start his next step.

It's a plan, but it's actually very simple.

Because the Holy King of the Andrew Kingdom, Heningu, himself has a very fatal weakness, that is, the border village tragedy ten years ago.

There are still many survivors of that tragedy, and one of them has even become the top commander of the Kingdom Police, which is Barry.

Barry has been working to bring the truth out about the tragedy and save his fellow villagers who are still imprisoned in the dungeon.

But for some reason, even if he knew all the truths now, he didn't choose to publish them himself, but chose to cooperate with Preben.

The cooperation between the two may be that Bally's coup d'état will facilitate Preben's coup, and in exchange, Prebourne will help Barry expose the Border Village tragedy and free the survivors in the dungeon.

Barry was undoubtedly a man who took his promises very seriously, and in order to help Preben, and for the sake of the truth of the day, he chose the most direct method.

He committed suicide in the king's bedchamber, and whether or not his attempt to blame the king was successful, for Heningu, his action was the deadliest of attacks.

If the blame method succeeded, Heningu became the murderer of Barry, and the royal brother Preben used the tragedy in the border village to play the problem, and during the time when Princess Freya was far away in Japan, he launched a coup d'état for "legitimate reasons" to depose Heningu and directly inherit the throne.

By the time Freya received the news and hurried back from Japan, everything was a foregone conclusion.

If he fails, it will also raise another important question: as a vassal of the kingdom, why did Barry prefer to blame his king by committing suicide?

As for Barry's motives, no matter who stopped him, Preben must have dug it up.

Because only in this way can he use public opinion to build momentum, justifiably depose Heningu, rightly squeeze out Princess Freya, and sit on the throne himself.

Preburn actually chose to expose the matter himself, probably because he wanted to be "cleaner".

After all, it was ten years ago, and he himself was also an insider of the tragedy in the border village, and he never said it before, but now he suddenly said it, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what he wants to do.

So he needs Barry's help, and only when this survivor of the border village dies unexpectedly and the original incident is unexpectedly revealed, can he have a better room to operate.

can portray him as a patriotic brother who has always been dissatisfied with the original tragedy and wants to speak for the people, but he is forced by the obscenity of Heningu, so he can only endure it secretly and wait for the opportunity.

And Karasuma Ying, she doesn't care about the internal strife of the country.

From that particular cell to what Barry said to her yesterday, Karasuma didn't know why Barry had chosen her, but since the one-eyed old man trusted her so much, she didn't want to live up to that trust.

She's really not good at dealing with this kind of person......
