Chapter 175: The Second Dead

A day passed quickly, during which no one came to disturb Liu Xia.

When he came at night and walked out of the room again, the entire Twin-Major Pagoda was still under martial law.

Liu Xia didn't pay much attention to the death of Jin Ji, after walking out of the Tower of Sun, he turned around again, as soon as he found Cang Qi Orange, he immediately changed his disguise and went to attack.

His patience is very good, it is better to say that he does not have the feeling of impatience, as long as it is to achieve the goal, he will not feel bored even if he repeats the monotonous behavior many times.

However, Canozaki Orange was not found, but Lucia found Reinis, Grey, and the monarch El-Melloi II.

In the depths of the vast forest, there is a spring that gushes out continuously. This seems to be a more spiritual node in this territory.

At that time, the three kings, El-Melloi II, were investigating something at the edge of the spring.

Liu Xia cast her eyes over and saw a corpse floating on the spring water at a glance.

Karina, the maid of the Golden Princess.

In the early hours of the morning, he had identified Reynice as a witness in the Tower of the Moon, but now he turned into a silent corpse, floating above the spring water. There seemed to be a dent in the heart, which should have been caused by a fatal blow. hit.

This is the second deceased.

Sovereign El-Melloi II and Laynis were discussing the case by the spring, and after a phone call from Laynis, he really came here from the clock tower.

"Mr. Liangyi?"

Gray felt that he couldn't help much, so he looked around, and after seeing Lucia's figure, he greeted him.

"Good evening, Gray."

Lucia walked to the edge of the group of people with a normal expression, with just the right amount of surprise on her face, "Isn't this Huang Jinji's maid? She died too? What happened?"

"I don't know either."

Gray shook his head a little dejectedly, as if he was blaming himself for being completely helpless, "In the afternoon, we followed the footprints outside the Moon Tower to the spring, but when we got here , already..."

According to Gray,

In the afternoon, because the Second Emperor had not arrived for a long time, Reinis, who had boasted about Haikou in front of Byron, had to conduct an investigation by herself.

After discovering Golden Ji's footsteps in the grass outside the Moon Tower, Reinis followed the footsteps through the mercury maid and entered the forest.

But in the middle of the journey, because the enchantment set up in the forest by Iseluma's house was accidentally triggered, Maid Mercury and Reinis lost their magical connection for a while.

By the time they found Maid Mercury, she was already standing on the edge of the spring, her hands were even stained with blood, and Karina's body was already floating in the spring.

"Because of this incident, Miss Lainis was more and more recognized as a prisoner by His Excellency Byron, and even Trim was temporarily sealed. Fortunately, Master arrived in time and made a guarantee in the name of the monarch, so she reluctantly rescued Miss Lainis. Down."

Gray described the whole process to Lucia.

From her point of view, of course she doesn't think that Reinis is a prisoner, and that Grace stayed with Reinis the whole time, which can completely prove her innocence, but because Grace and Reinis are the same way, Iseruma did not agree with her witness.

"Wait a minute, you said Trim's hands were stained with blood?"

Liu Xia raised her brows slightly, and immediately realized something was wrong, "That's the Moon Spirit Essence, which is essentially mercury, so it's so easy to keep it from being stained with blood, even without the master's magic power, it should be able to get rid of the blood by itself, right? "

"Besides, assuming that both Jin Ji and Karina were killed by Trim, Jin Jin Ji's dismembered body was not stained with blood at all, and in the end, she just hit Karina's heart and her hands were covered with blood. No matter how you think about it A little too weird?"

Few killers are stupid enough to let themselves be stained with the blood of the dead—to be honest, he doesn’t intend to intervene, but he doesn’t care about anything and it doesn’t fit his current personality, so just give some clues that you find , Let them solve the case by themselves.

"Eh? Is...is that so?"

Gray was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a sudden realization, "Well...so that's the case, it seems to be so."

"Oh? My dear brother, you are a new student who looks quite extraordinary."

Reynis's face had long since lost the tension she felt when she faced Byron's attack alone, and was replaced by a look of joy, "Just listening to Gray say it once, I can figure out this way of thinking, my You can't even turn your head that fast."

"I also hold the same opinion as Liangyi."

The monarch, El-Melloi II, was still puffing and puffing, directly ignoring what Reinis said, but nodding in agreement with Lucia's thoughts.

"It was clearly planted together and the means to get Trim's blood on his hands was superfluous."

"By the way, the reason why I came so late is to find someone to investigate information about Izaluma. I didn't expect you to be so impatient!"

While saying this, the second cast a hateful look at Reinis.

The Second King is both Lynesse's brother-in-law and her mentor in magic, so he often trains her like a student.

"No, no, I've already boasted so much. If I can't show any actual results, wouldn't it make El-Melloi's reputation a joke?" Reinis retorted unconvinced.

"But it's your actions that got you into the situation you are in today! Don't you have any introspection at all?"

"Of course I'm introspecting, but one size fits the other. At that time, I have to take action, right?"

"Then you should retreat immediately when you feel something is wrong, instead of trying to go deep!"

"Are you telling me to give up Trim?"

"Life is more important than magic dress!"

"Tch... That's why I always say that brother is a second-rate magician."

"Well...it's too foul to say this at a time like this..."

Before reaching a conclusion, the siblings suddenly quarreled and hurt each other on their own.

Although they are the puppet monarch and the master behind the scenes in name, the relationship between these two people may be unexpectedly good. People who are not familiar with it cannot quarrel so skillfully.

Gray stood aside, although she couldn't see her face under the hood clearly, but it also gave off a happy feeling.

"By the way, Grey, you said before that you came here only after you found Huang Jinji's footprints. Have you investigated those footprints?"

Lucia asked Gray who was beside her.

"No, not yet."

Gray shook his head, "We are still investigating the cause of Miss Karina's death, and the footprints haven't had time to continue the investigation."
