Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 84 Another ghost?
"Bonn is not the first person to suffer. After the incident, we sent someone to find the gold robe at the scene to inquire about the news. I heard from them that there have been many such incidents in the flea nest these days. ’” replied the messenger.

"Golden robes? There are golden robes in the flea nest?" In such a humble place as the flea nest, the gold robe patrols usually go around.

"When we first arrived at Flea Nest, we were quite surprised to see golden robes patrolling, but later we found out that the reason why the Royal Council deployed a troop of golden robes to Flea Nest was to ensure that Jon Arryn The duke's funeral went without a fuss."

"Isn't the funeral of Lord Arryn over?"

"Those golden robes complained about this matter. Just after Duke Arryn's funeral, the king took half of the imperial council northward, and Lord Renly, the minister of justice, never cared about his affairs, so their brigade was forgotten It's in the flea nest, and I haven't waited for a new transfer order."

"Um..." No wonder Robert is in a hurry to go north to find his good friend Ed Stark. This huge King's Landing is either a conspirator or a paddling minister. Once the Duke of Arryn died, there was no one who really did things. up.

"Ahem," Ian turned back to the topic, "Have you found out what the 'things like this' that the golden robe is talking about?"

"It's all murders, the characteristics of the dead" said, the messenger glanced at Ian, and said very stiffly, "The characteristics of the dead are almost exactly the same as the ones you want us to hunt, they are all hired knights, mercenaries or other loners."

It really is the player's action!Someone cast a net in a flea nest!Ian suddenly thought of the number of remaining players who started to decrease two days ago. It seems that the newly eliminated players were all born in King's Landing.

"The most frightening thing is," the messenger saw that Ian didn't intend to explain, so he didn't struggle, and continued, "there were no signs of fighting at the death scene of the deceased, and they were obviously in a flea nest where people came and went. However, there was no witness who saw the suspicious person entering and exiting the death scene."

"You mentioned a word called the Stranger's Curse before? Where did this saying come from?" Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of weird murder be attributed to ghosts or demons first?Why is it reckoned on the head of God?
"This" the messenger was asked, "I don't know, they say so, but I don't know why."

"Find a way to find out, and report to me next time," instinct told Ian that this clue is very important. "Now let's talk about something more specific. Were you also one of the people who guarded that dead end at that time?"

"I'm the person in charge of the hut in the alley. That's why the captain sent me to you. There are many things that only I can explain clearly."

Unexpectedly, 'Naughty Duanzi' was quite careful, "from e" Ian wanted to say bait, but he soon realized that it was not polite to say this to a person who died for himself, so he changed the name of the other party, "from e Bonn went back to that dead end and started, and told everything that happened."

"Good sir, when Bonn came back to the house he rented alone after he finished wandering the main road, after he entered the alley, we have been watching from the window, no one followed him at all, let alone Go to the yard where he lives."

"How did you find out that he was dead after that?" Ian wondered.

"Not us. The first person to find out that Bonn had been killed was his landlady, a very fat old woman."

"He lives with the landlord?"

"Of course not. At the end of that alley is a small courtyard. There are about three or four houses in it, all of which belong to the old woman. Bonn only rented one of them."

"In other words, that yard is your blind spot?"

"Blind what?" The messenger seemed to have never heard the word.

"That courtyard is not in your sight?"

"Yes, because the old woman's asking price is very high, and her house can't be rented in the flea nest. This is information that is easy to find in the vicinity. Bonn renting there can not only make him look suspicious, but also lure Let the target feel at ease to shoot at him... After all, there is no one else there."

"That's why you didn't arrange for other people to enter that yard?"

"Yes."

"Is there no one else living in that yard except Bonn and the old landlady?"

"Yes."

"What was the landlord's reaction when he found out Bonn was dead? The screaming? Then you broke in?"

"No," the messenger shook his head. "At that time, the landlord didn't respond. He just walked out of the yard silently. We saw her leave. Although she left in a hurry, we didn't pay much attention to it. Until she sent a team of The gold cloak was brought back to her yard, and we realized something might be wrong."

"How did she move those golden robes?" Ian felt inconceivable, these hooligans of the capital defense team never liked to take care of things.

"Maybe it's because too many things like this have happened in the past few days, and the golden-robed captain also felt the pressure?" the messenger guessed.

Ian nodded, he thought the same as the messenger.

This kind of continuous concentrated murder, even if it happened in a humble place like Flea Nest, the gold-robed leader who is responsible for the security of Flea Nest must be careful, otherwise, once the commander of the garrison or even the Minister of Justice is alarmed, Even if he won't be held accountable, he will inevitably be labeled as 'trash'.

"In short," Ian continued to ask, "except for himself, the old landlord and the golden robe, no one has entered the yard where Bonn died, right?"

"Yes sir"

"But you can only monitor the gate? What about the wall? Is it possible for the enemy to climb over the wall?"

"Two sides of the yard are made of the walls of the house itself. The only separate walls are the main entrance and the two facing the main road. We looked at the main entrance, and the wall at the back was also under the surveillance of another group of us. .Although the wall is very low, it is easy to climb in, but it is not easy to hide from our sight!"

So is the killer just another ghost? "How did Bonn die?" Ian continued to ask.

"The brother we sent to communicate with the golden robe took a look. There was a wound caused by an ax on Bonn's body. The other party pierced his mail armor from the front, causing a huge wound on his chest."

"Where's his body?"

"It was taken away by the golden robe," the messenger explained immediately. "Our people passed by pretending to be onlookers. It is impossible to ask the golden robe to take away the corpse."

"Is there anything strange to add?"

"No more, ser."
