Otherworld Qin

Chapter 517 544 Homicide 1
After half a month, the royal family of Calais finally came out with amazing news. Because the king was ill and could not continue to handle government affairs, the government affairs were temporarily handed over to several ministers in the court for coordination. Jun.

There is only one problem, which is to let the princes form their own forces to conquer the swamp without using the Calais army. At the end of next year, whoever causes the most damage to the swamp orcs will become the new monarch of Calais .

This news was truly shocking, and it immediately stirred up a storm in the whole of Calais. Almost all the families were boiling. Some who were familiar with the internal struggles of the royal family began to choose who to support, and some had already started to cheer, as if they saw their own family. The queen's prince has sat on the throne of kingship.

But on this night, Duke Kurus, the most important minister in the court and the prime minister, was assassinated in a dark alley on the outskirts of the royal capital, and his bodyguards were missing. All the guards are masters.

The most unbearable thing is that not only the corpse was nailed to the wall, but also the vital organs were brutally cut away.Let this murder look like a vendetta caused by jealousy, but more people are willing to believe that this is the beginning of the bloody battle for royal power.

The Duke of Kurus not only has the power to overwhelm the sky, but his family is even richer than a country, how could he endure such humiliation?Almost all officials within a thousand miles rushed to the scene of the incident immediately to assist in the investigation of the case.At the same time, Plexier, who was in charge of the national punishment, was even more strictly ordered to give a reasonable explanation.

At the same time, Dias, who was in charge of the national population registration, was also severely reprimanded by the Duke of Cruz, and ordered him to conduct a thorough investigation of the population of Calais within half a month. Those hidden criminals and refugees without household registration will be punished. Severe blow.

After venting violently, Duke Kurus returned to his mansion in grief. For the death of a man who had more than a dozen daughters and only gave birth to his only son until his later years, he really couldn't bear such a blow.

Could it be that the huge family business I run is going to watch it fall into the hands of my nephew?He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. He could only mourn the death of his only son even more, and hated the murderer even more.

Who will be the murderer?The old prince buried his head deeply between his hands, and began to think hard.For this only son, the first in line heir of the family, maybe he was too spoiled. He is ignorant and incompetent on weekdays. He often haunts Fireworks and Willow Lane. People were beaten to death.For this reason, I don't know how many nobles, big and small, have been offended.

If it is really because of vendetta, it is very reasonable, but at this sensitive time, what is even more incomprehensible is who would touch the rebellious scale of the Kurus family?Just for the hatred of some Fengyuechang, I am afraid that this courage is too big.

Therefore, when the old duke first heard about this matter, he felt that it might be related to the struggle for royal power.You must know that your own sister is the current queen, and your own nephew is the eldest prince of Calais, who is the most hopeful person to inherit the throne.

"Why? Why do you want to do something to my son? You bloody despicable black-hearted reptiles!" The old prince was so angry that he stood up and overturned the coffee table in front of him. It fell to the ground and broke into countless sharp fragments.

The sound immediately alarmed the servants in the mansion, and they hurried over to see what happened, but seeing the angry and flushed face of the old prince, no one dared to make any noise, so they could only stand silently, with their legs trembling uncontrollably, afraid Direct the other party's anger onto yourself.

"You all go down!" The old prince didn't get angry at them. After venting, he just felt a burst of heartache, and his face turned pale because of the heartache.

The old prince sat back in his chair and began to think the whole thing over quickly.The bodyguards of his only son are all carefully selected, and one of them has reached the peak of transformation.You must know that there are clear laws and regulations in the country. Except for princes, no family is allowed to hire masters above illusion, just to prevent the family from establishing its own power and posing a threat to the royal family.

So not to mention the personal bodyguards of a family heir, their level is strictly controlled below the illusion, to prevent these young people from causing private fights due to some trivial matters, and then resulting in uncontrollable consequences.But the old duke was worried about the comfort of his only son, so he bought the relationship at all costs, secretly replaced a master who was sentenced to death, and kept the safety of his family. He arranged a new identity for him, and put him next to his only son as a guard .

Now these guards are nowhere to be seen. It can be said that there are no people alive or dead. If it is just a little conflict in Fengyuechang, how can anyone be against a master of transformation?This clearly means that a strong person took action, and the root cause of the matter must be related to the succession to the throne.

Could it be that the guards were bought off?This is absolutely impossible, how dare he act recklessly if he holds his whole family in his hands as hostages?Thinking of this, the old duke couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly shouted: "Come here!" A steward of the inner palace ran outside, the old duke whispered something in his ear, and the man ran out in a hurry.

He sent someone to check on the family of the Transformation Realm Guard. If the family had escaped his control, then the murderer must be him. If everything was as usual, then the possibility of his bribery could be ruled out.

There seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, and he was covered in cold sweat and his face turned pale from the torment. The old prince forced himself to pour himself a glass of wine, trying to warm his body, but the more he drank the wine, the bitter taste in his mouth became unbearable. He smashed the precious crystal cup angrily, and an uncontrollable grief hit him, causing him to fall to the ground and cry bitterly regardless of his face.

I don't know how long it took before he forced himself to hold back his grief, because his family members knew his temper well, so no one, whether it was his wife, daughter or servants, dared to comfort him.He just had to force himself to get up from the ground with difficulty, and rubbed his cheeks vigorously with a pair of thick palms, so that he could feel a little warmth and keep a little sanity.

He knew that at this time, there must be no radical actions, otherwise, not only would his only son be avenged, but he might also implicate the royal family, let people with ulterior motives seize the opportunity, and eventually make his own nephew lose the right to inherit the throne.

Suddenly, the old Duke seemed to return to normal. The Duke's mansion also changed from the oppressiveness before the storm to the beauty of spring. He calmly ordered his servants to clean the room and ordered the kitchen to do more. After a few dishes, he had a very formal meal with his family in the evening. Although he didn't know what he ate, at least on the surface, he was not knocked down by the pain of losing his son, more like It's the same as it didn't happen.

The old prince controlled himself with strong self-control. After three days of enduring it, he couldn't bear it any longer, and sent someone to bring Prysir and Dias together to question them about the progress of the case.

But the answer he got disappointed him. The first scene where the crime happened was outside a very secret dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the city, but he found nothing else.

"Tell me, what kind of place is there?" Pressil frowned slightly when he heard this. They were all pressed down tightly, and now they are reporting carefully like a servant, which inevitably makes him feel dissatisfied.

But he has another thought in his heart. His niece is the official wife of the thirteenth prince. If the thirteenth prince can obtain the right to inherit the throne, then his niece will be the queen. I will see how you will be arrogant with me then.

Although he secretly resented in his heart, he still had a submissive face on the surface: "Reporting to Lord Duke, I searched almost all the romantic places in the capital within three days, and finally let me find some clues."

You must know that Calais is actually a very conservative country. Although there are many sex scenes, Calais does not advocate the development of this industry, and even prohibits it in the law.

Calais also has government offices, but most of the women there are family members who have committed serious crimes and have been imprisoned. These people come from all backgrounds, and naturally they are not all beautiful, but some of them come from noble families, so they are naturally different. Therefore, some Calais people are still willing to go to such places for consumption, and they are more willing to have fun with those miserable people of the run-down nobles, so as to satisfy a twisted desire in their hearts.

But in the eyes of the nobles or the rich, these women are not interested at all, and they even have a kind of rejection in their hearts. After all, they were both nobles at the beginning. Qi Qiran's feeling.

But everyone knows the brutality earned in this industry, so some nobles or wealthy businessmen put their minds on it. They used wine shops and teahouses as a guise to secretly run some romantic business, earn huge profits from it, and for this reason Buy or even rob foreign women at all costs.

This is no secret in Calais. When Plesil finished his brief description, Duke Cruz was still surprised. A huge and extremely luxurious underground place had existed on the outskirts of the royal capital for so many years, but there was no How many rumors spread, then the real purpose of this place has to make people think.

Presir took a peek at the old duke, and then continued: "But it's a pity, when I brought people there, the place was already empty, leaving only some luxury items that I didn't have time to take away. And there's rubbish everywhere."

"How can you be sure that is the scene of the first crime?" "I found this there." As he spoke, Pressil took out an ornament from his pocket, and the old duke immediately recognized that it was worn by his only son. Before he could ask a question, Convenience continued: "This thing was thrown on the ground, and there were bloodstains beside it. Judging from the blood splattered on this thing, this thing shouldn't have been thrown there later, so it must be from your house." The son was torn off in the fight, so I think that's the first scene."

"Other than that, what else did you find?" the old prince asked anxiously. "The one who attacked your son was obviously a master. There were a lot of sword marks on the walls, floors, and ceilings. It was obviously after a fierce fight, but I didn't dare to make a conclusion because I didn't find any witnesses. "

"So how many people are there on the other side?" "I'm afraid, I'm afraid there is only one person." "One person? This is impossible, absolutely impossible. There are several guards around my son, all of whom are powerful. How can it be possible that they can't deal with even one person? "The old duke was shocked and at the same time suspicious, suspecting that Presir hadn't really investigated the case with his heart.

"I don't dare to be negligent in this matter, and please don't doubt my ability, my lord duke. After all, I have been specialized in punishment for decades. Can I still be wrong about this?" When the other party was suspicious, he took out a reflection crystal from the ring, "My lord, please check it yourself."

Kurus took it with a little hesitation, and a mage hurriedly stepped forward beside him. With the infusion of mana, a clear image was projected in the reflection crystal, which turned out to be exactly the scene. A large number of traces of fierce fighting were left inside, some swords cut off the entire wall, and some fist and foot marks also destroyed the walls of large buildings.

Judging from these traces, it should indeed be the scene of the first crime, but how to judge that it was done by one person?If there are really a few masters fighting to the death here, I am afraid that they have been razed to the ground, how can they still exist?

Pressil patiently explained beside him: "Please look, my lord, here, here, and here, these places are all made by the same kind of weapon, and I have verified that they match the wounds on your young master's body. The narrow-edged sword, and all other traces left on the scene are caused by the weapons used by your son's men, so it can be judged that they are the same person."

"As for saying that this place has not been razed to the ground, I am afraid that His Majesty the Duke will not believe it, because this is an underground building. It is very hidden here, with as many as three or four entrances, and one of them was discovered by us. It is in a run-down building on the outskirts of the city. In the courtyard." The old duke thoroughly understood the meaning of the underground, at first he thought it was just a place where the skin and flesh business was secretly operated, but he never thought that it was actually built underground, and how much material and financial resources it would cost ?How could the authorities have never heard of it?He couldn't help looking at Presir, with murderous intent in his eyes.

It may take a few days to go out for something, so I apologize to everyone.
