Chapter 1354: The Mystery of the Feast (IV)
The moment they saw the corpse, everyone's eyes began to look at each other, and the undercurrent surging under the silence was about to burst out. The first person to speak out was Thor, who was holding Sif's hand.
"What's going on?" Thor's voice was very low, and the anger contained in it frightened the guests present. No one here could bear the anger of the God King.
It can only be said that fortunately today’s banquet is not a formal wedding ceremony. It is just a banquet to welcome guests from the interstellar civilization. The formal ceremony will not be held until the God King and God Queen tomorrow morning. If such a thing happens at that time, I am afraid that the interstellar The society is about to start another bloody storm.
But such an accident was staggering enough. The real ruler of one of the three great empires in the universe died at a banquet in Asgard in front of so many civilized leaders.
Thor set his sights on Luo Ji, Schiller also turned to look at Luo Ji, and Luo Ji lowered his head slightly and said, "I'll go investigate right away."
The insiders present knew what she meant by the investigation. She only needed to take a look above the universe to go back along the timeline and see who did it. At the worst, she could go to the Time Management Bureau. Mobius is asked to bring the machine here to return time.
Luo Ji slowly turned around, and at this moment a voice sounded: "Wait a moment, Your Highness Luo Ji."
Loki turned around and found that it was Stark who made the noise. Thor's eyes fell on Stark's face again, and Stark calmly touched his wrist and said, "Should we Confirm the identity of the deceased first? Although she looks like the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire, this is the palace of Asgard. There is no reason for Her Majesty to die here. Should we check first to see if she is a substitute? Or an illusion?"
As soon as Stark finished saying this, he felt a gaze fall on him. Stark raised his eyes to look at Schiller who was staring at him opposite. He did not continue to speak, but just smiled.
At this time, Sif, who was the leader of the Asgard Guards, frowned and said: "In order to ensure that the banquet goes smoothly, the soldiers of the Guards are waiting outside the venue, but other Guard members who have no security duties, including doctors, coroners, etc., have already Withdrew from Immortal Palace."
"Your Majesty, if you want to verify your identity, I will ask professionals to come and investigate now."
"No need." Thor refused Sif's proposal without looking at her.
But everyone also understands that Sif is not the captain of the palace guard now, she is the fiancée of the God King. She cannot lead a team of people to touch the corpse, or even leave here temporarily. This is very rude.
"I think there is a doctor here, isn't it?" Frigga's voice came, and she looked at Schiller. Schiller turned his head slightly but did not look at Frigga, but glanced at Odin's face.
Obviously, everyone on the court has their own purposes and secrets, and a delicate and fragile balance is gradually established.
Everyone has information that no one else has, which will be key to their own purposes.
They are convinced that the smart people present can understand the current situation - when they do not understand other people's intentions, they cannot recklessly use too rough means to break the situation to find out the truth, which will only bring trouble to themselves.
Under this atmosphere, even a fool can understand that this is not a simple murder, or that the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire will die, and that she will die at an Asgardian banquet, there is no such thing. Possibility of simple homicide.
Schiller stood silent for a few seconds, but did not step forward. Instead, he said: "I am a psychiatrist. I don't understand magic, I can't do autopsies, and I can't detect illusions. I want to have someone better than me." More suitable for this job.”
After saying that, he turned to the other side and looked at a figure in the crowd. Everyone followed him and focused their eyes on that figure. Strange walked through the crowd holding a wine glass.
His eyes first fell on the body on the ground, then looked at Thor and said, "I'm not a forensic doctor, just a surgeon."
"But at least you can check whether this is caused by magic, right, Your Majesty the Sorcerer Supreme?" Thor emphasized.
"Loki can also...well, it's rude to let His Highness, who is dressed up, touch the body. Let me do it." Strange turned around and put the wine glass on the waiter's tray.
Schiller's eyes did not follow Strange's movements like others, but only glanced at the wine glass that Strange had just put down.
The Supreme Mage took off his cloak and handed it to Luo Ji, who was closest to him. Then he walked to the side of the queen's body and squatted down. The light in his eyes floated slightly, and a golden light shone on his fingertips.
Strange's fingertips lightly touched the ground, and the magic radiance rippled out. When it swept over the queen's body, there was nothing unusual about the magic fluctuations. Most of the people present could see this.
"The corpse is real." Strange shook his head and said, "No trace of magical fabrication or illusion was found."
"Can we determine the cause of death?" Thor asked again.
Strange stared at the body and said: "I would like to check the wounds on the body, but this may be a little offensive. I am not sure the Queen and her family will agree with me touching her body at will."
"Leland! Leland! Your Majesty Lelandra!
"A burst of anxious shouts came from the main entrance of the Immortal Palace, and a strong male from the Mengyu tribe rushed in with two guards.
"That is the husband of the Queen of Shi'ar Empire." Luo Ji explained to Schiller in a low voice,
But Schiller's attention was not on the husband, but on the face of the young guard who had just come in.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Aren't all their royal guards from the Mengyu tribe?" Schiller asked Luo Ji in a low voice.
"The Shi'ar Empire is an empire of great ethnic integration. Although the Mengyu tribe is a royal race, in order to show respect for other races, their guards include members of more than 20 races."
"Including humans?"
Luo Ji was stunned for a moment. She followed Schiller's gaze and found that the young soldier standing behind the husband who fell to the ground looked exactly like a human.
A glimmer of magic flashed in Luo Ji's eyes, and then she found that the young guard was really a human, at least he must have human blood.
There are many humanoid races in the universe. This phenomenon started from some existences that spread life at the beginning, but in fact, humanoid races are the mainstream of interstellar society, and most races are vertebrates with limbs.
But on this basis, different races also have slight differences. Differences such as skin color can no longer be considered differences. Some races may have four arms instead of just four limbs. Some races have a human body and a fish tail. Some races even have two heads.
Even if they look exactly like humans, their internal organs, blood vessels and muscle tissues will definitely be very different.
After all, there are very few races as weak as humans in the universe. Even if they are not good-looking and do not look strong enough, most of them can use other energy.
This means that their organs will undergo special changes during evolution, and it is impossible for them to be completely consistent with humans, a race with weak bodies and no ability to use energy.
But the young man opposite him conforms to the laws of the human body from internal organ structure to blood vessels to muscle tissue, so he is most likely a human.
But the fact that humans would become members of the Shi'ar Empire's guards is itself very strange. Humans are not a member race under the Shi'ar Empire at all. The territories of the two races are far apart, and humans have never traded with the Shi'ar Empire. The two sides are not related at all.
Who would this human who appeared here be? Why can he join the palace guard of the Shi'ar Empire? Why does he appear beside the queen and her husband?
Schiller quickly searched for information in his mind. He knew that all humans who could walk out of the nine kingdoms were not weak hands. They must have something to rely on. They must be well-known in the Marvel world.
Searching with the Shi'ar Empire Guard as the keyword, Schiller suddenly found a very inconspicuous piece of information in the depths of his dusty memory.
The origin story of Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy recorded his experience. The first half of the story was too complicated, but in short, Star-Lord Peter Quill was imprisoned in an interstellar prison called Kane.
Star-Lord wanted to escape from prison, so he found a few teammates. On the way to escape from prison, he found that the interstellar prison Kane had a big explosion, so he wanted to go over to check the situation. At this time, he met a gladiator. Later, the gladiator recruited Star-Lord to join the guard of the Shi'ar Empire.
But in the comics, Star-Lord refused the call-up and chose to stay in Kane Prison, but there is no doubt that Star-Lord once had a chance to join the Shi'ar Empire Guard.
The butterfly effect of the time traveler is too complicated, and Schiller is not sure whether it was the change he brought that led Star-Lord to agree to the gladiator's request and really join the Shi'ar Empire Guard.
But in this inconspicuous story, a famous big man is still involved, that is, Thanos.
At that time, Star-Lord wanted to deal with a being called the Creator. Because he felt that he was not strong enough, he wanted to pull Thanos as a teammate. In the comics, Thanos did not agree, but beat the Creator himself.
In other words, Thanos and Star-Lord had dealt with each other, and not only did they have no hatred, but Star-Lord also wanted to cooperate with Thanos. So, even if Thanos wisely rejected Star-Lord in terms of fighting the enemy together, would the two of them cooperate in other aspects?
Schiller turned his head and looked at the edge of the dance floor. The purple-skinned giant just stood there with a glass of wine and drank by himself, without saying a word, as if he had not noticed the chaos in the center of the dance floor at all.
But Schiller knew that Thanos was not a law-abiding person. If he said that he had no part in this chaos, no one would believe it.
Was the chaos caused by the Queen's murder an unexpected event?
On the contrary, all conspiracies were carried out quietly, and the final chaos was nothing more than the result of the collision and accumulation of various factors to the peak and then erupting together.
Standing in the center of the bright and wide dance floor, Schiller could see everyone's thoughtful expressions at a glance.
Looking through everyone's eyes and connecting perspectives unknown to others, a complete truth can be formed.
Schiller, who did not have this information, had to infer where the source of the power that caused the chaos came from and when it was generated through everyone's words, reactions and attitudes within a few minutes of the chaos.
Unraveling the mystery, inferring step by step, inferring everyone's motives, methods and ultimate goals.
As the brain thinks at high speed, the heart begins to beat faster and faster, and the "bang bang bang" drumbeats are like the prelude to the opening of the dance party.
Time stood still, space condensed, and the last ray of light flowed along Schiller's brow into his eyes, and then like the afterglow above the Asgard Bridge, it drew the curtain on the darkness.
The noise and color in the world of fame and fortune gradually faded, and the light became dim.
Suddenly, a fierce light flashed, and Schiller woke up from his confused sleepiness. Outside the bedroom window of the Asgard, he could see the bright energy tail flames from the engine of the royal spacecraft of the Shi'ar Empire as it slowed down and landed.
This is really strange, Schiller thought, the Queen and Queen of the Shi'ar Empire actually came to congratulate in person, and they came earlier than the other two empires.
