Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was quiet all morningbut just before noon, Guilford, a guardian knight of Cornelia, walked into the living room with a stack of information in his hand.

    "Good day, Your Highness, Princess." As soon as Guilford stepped into the room, he leaned over and saluted Cornelia, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely sipping black tea.

    "I've told you so many times that you don't need to be so polite, Sir Guilford." Cornelia frowned slightly when she saw Guilford's actions, and said helplessly.

    "This is etiquette, Your Highness Princess." Guilford lowered his head and said, then without waiting for Cornelia to speak, he took a few steps forward and handed the information in his hand to Cornelia and said, "This is what you asked for about seven years."  Investigation data on Princess Mariana¡¯s death half a year ago.¡±

    "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Guilford." Cornelia reached out and took the information and thanked her.

    "His Highness said something serious." Guilford replied in fear, then turned around and stood aside quietly.

    "The information you want." Cornelia turned around and handed the information in her hand to Ito Cheng who was surfing the Internet.

    "You're not slow." Ito Cheng stopped what he was doing, raised his head and reached out to take the information handed over by Cornelia and joked, then lowered his head and started reading.

    "Maybe I can't wait any longer." Cornelia lowered her head and took a sip of the black tea in her hand.

    "It's understandable." Hearing this, Ito Cheng replied without raising his head.  Then he continued to carefully check the information in his hand, browsing through all the information on the terrain, characters, guards' confessions, descriptions of unrelated persons, investigators' reports, conclusion analysis and deduction, etc.  After a while, he raised his head and said to Cornelia, "It seems that we can only go to the scene to take a look."

    "What?" Cornelia asked in confusion after hearing this.

    "When I looked into the application, it seemed that I had written a lot, but in fact I didn't write anything. Apart from letting me understand the layout of the palace (Aries Palace), the state of the body at the time, the time and manner of Mariana's death, there was nothing useful.  None. It's just a cover-up external report." Ito Cheng threw the information book on the table in front of him, reached out and patted the surface of the information book and said.

    "But what clues can you find if you go to the palace? After all, seven and a half years have passed. Even if the palace has been blocked since the assassination, it won't be able to help you." Gilfoy, who is a guardian knight at the side  De naturally knew that Cornelia had always been brooding about the assassination of Princess Mariana. She had made great efforts to investigate, and even went to the palace several times to conduct on-site investigations, but she never got any clues.  , so I instinctively retorted to Ito Cheng's proposal.

    "How do you know I can't find any clues?" Ito Cheng asked with interest as he looked at Gilford standing behind Cornelia.

    "This" Guilford was asked by Ito Cheng.  I was speechless for a long time.  After all, he has been in contact with Ito Cheng for half a year, and he still knows something about Ito Cheng's mystery, so Gilford really can't find a reason to refute, what if he can do it.

    "Okay." Cornelia saw her knight's embarrassment and said, "We will go to the palace in the afternoon."

    "Okay." Ito Cheng nodded indifferently.  I continued to wander around the Internet.  But it is a pity that Japan in this world has become District 11, so Ito Cheng browsed all morning and could not find any traces of animation or AV. By the time I found a lot of animations and movies produced in Britannia, it was just because of taste.  The question felt very unfamiliar, so I gave up searching in this area.  Turned to play games.  Fortunately, the games in this world are very well made. They are completely different from the domestic kimchi games and Japanese kawaii games. You can play them happily.

    afternoon.  Ito Cheng, who put on a knight uniform prepared by Cornelia, drove to the palace with Cornelia and Guilford

    "We're here." In less than half an hour, the three of them arrived in front of an ancient castle with a height of more than ten meters on all sides, a Chinese-style parapet on the top, and a white wall protecting the outer wall.  After passing a simple inspection by the guard at the door.  We walked into the palace compound within the wall.

    The purpose of the three people was very clear, so they did not stop in the front yard of the palace.  He bypassed the huge political hall, walked into the fork on the side, and walked straight to one of the ancient castles behind the palace.

    The three of them walked forward, and after passing through two palaces and three gardens, they finally arrived at the palace in the south of the backyard of the palace.

    "This is it." Cornelia stood in front of the palace and said with a complicated expression.

    "Your Highness, Princess." Guilford looked at Cornelia.With an expression on his face, he called out softly with concern.

    "It's okay, let's go in." Cornelia immediately regained her composure when Guilford called her. She walked with Ito Cheng to the closed palace door, opened the palace door and walked in.

    I saw a room paved with yellow marble, with dozens of yellow support columns in the style of a Mediterranean temple erected on both sides of the palace. The ceiling was a semicircle like an Islamic church, and it was covered with European-style landscapes and figures.  At the innermost end of the palace is a screen wall with paintings of ancient Greek men fighting beasts. The front end of the screen wall is a slightly larger platform, which connects dozens of steps leading to the palace ground.

    "How long does it take for someone to clean here?" Ito Cheng glanced at the environment in the palace and asked.

    "Yes, there will be a maid responsible for cleaning at a fixed time every day." Cornelia nodded.

    "Oh." Ito Cheng nodded, walked step by step to the place where Mariana lay when she died, turned to look at Cornelia and said, "I remember that the place where Princess Mariana died was written in the document, right?  , lying on the ground with her face down and her hands open. The report said she was protecting Her Highness Nunnally, right?"

    "Yes." Cornelia nodded and said.

    Then Ito Cheng pointed to the dark passage leading to nowhere on the left side of the screen wall and said, "Is that the passage leading to the rear bedroom?"

    "Yes." Cornelia glanced at the direction Ito pointed in and confirmed.

    Ito Cheng then stepped onto the steps, walked up a few steps, and finally stopped at a position and asked, "Is it reported that Mariana was standing here before she died?"

    "Yes." Cornelia frowned and looked at Ito Cheng, not understanding what he was going to do.

    "Do you still remember the description of the bullet that was shot into Princess Mariana's body in the report?" Ito Cheng stood there and asked.

    "It was injected into Princess Mariana's body at an oblique angle of nearly 45 degrees, directly piercing the liver and lungs, destroying the main arteries of the liver, causing large-scale internal bleeding" Cornelia recalled a little.

    "That's it." Ito Cheng interrupted Cornelia's description with a wave of his hand and asked, "How much does it look like from where I stand to the ground?"

    "Huh?" Cornelia's eyebrows twitched, she observed carefully, and finally said in a deep voice, "It's more than thirty degrees if you look away."

    ¡°Obviously Cornelia also thought of the problem at this time, and with her wisdom, she could easily think of something.

    "Assuming that the assassin is an adult about 1.8 meters tall, how high can he be at the angle at which he can shoot Princess Mariana based on the height of his gun?" But before Cornelia could continue to think about it, Ito Cheng  Then he asked again.

    "Less than ten degrees." Cornelia said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

    "You forgot the retreat distance." Ito Cheng reminded.

    "It won't be more than fifteen degrees." Cornelia said.

    "Then what kind of posture do you think the assassin needs to shoot a bullet close to forty-five degrees?" Ito Cheng mocked.

    "Half-squatting on the ground." Cornelia said, and then Cornelia raised her head and stared at Ito Chengdao, "Do you mean that Princess Mariana was attacked by someone while accepting their allegiance?"

    "Stop talking, what if the murderer is a short dwarf or a child?" Ito Cheng stretched out his finger and shook it.

    "Children and dwarfs!?" Guilford exclaimed, "The children in this palace at that time, except for the late Princess Nunnally, were the current Sixth Knight of the Round Table, Lady Ania. You mean they were the murderers!"

    "Impossible." Cornelia immediately retorted after hearing this, "Nunnally had no reason to kill her mother, Princess Mariana, not to mention that she was not yet seven years old at the time, and Knight Ania was just a young woman at that time.  Not long after entering Aries, there is no motive at all.¡±

    "I didn't say that the two of them were the murderers, I just stated my speculation." Ito Cheng said, and then continued the analysis, "Princess Mariana should have been talking to each other at the time. The content was quite secretive.  It can be easily inferred from the guard mobilization you mentioned. However, Princess Mariana did not expect that the other party would suddenly attack. This can be inferred from the blood stains where I was standing in the investigation report, and then the sudden attack of Her Highness Nunnally  Appeared, the other party was obviously distracted by her appearance, giving Princess Mariana the opportunity to rush in front of Her Highness Nunnally, and was killed by the opponent's silencer bullet. As for why the other party didn't kill Na in the end.  Your Highness Nali, this is unknown.¡±

    "Who is a child or a short dwarf, has a ruthless heart, and can be free?"If someone enters the palace without being interrogated and gets acquainted with Princess Mariana, and maybe this person is also familiar with His Majesty the Emperor, so familiar that even if His Majesty the Emperor knows that the person killed Princess Mariana, nothing will happen to him, then  That person is the murderer.  "Ito Cheng concluded.

    "Why do you say you are familiar with His Majesty the Emperor?" Guilford asked doubtfully.

    "Since I can deduce this from the problem of bullets, there is no reason why the guys in the imperial intelligence department don't even have this ability. Since they have the ability, why not write the report truthfully? You must know that the emperor was the emperor at the time  Concerned." Ito Cheng asked.

    "Who is he?" Cornelia whispered to herself with a frown.

    Ito Cheng looked at Cornelia¡¯s appearance, smiled silently, then spread out his mental power and began to explore deep underground (To be continued)
