Chapter 23 One
Facing Marie's words, Pericna nodded.
"Um."
There is no refutation, and there will be no argument.
When he decided to "seek help" from Qin Ran, the female leader of the Snake Sect was mentally prepared to correct his status.
But Mary frowned again.
This is not the first time she has seen the female leader of the Snake Sect, but compared to her previous sharpness, the opponent this time makes her feel much more difficult.
The poisonous snake in front of you is not scary.
What is scary is hidden in the bushes and shadows.
I will keep an eye on you!
Mary told the other person with her eyes.
The female leader of the Snake Sect did not respond. At this moment, she had no intention of paying attention to these things. She knew that what she should do most at the moment was to concentrate on leading the way for Qin Ran.
Warren Palace is not big.
Compared with some royal palaces that Qin Ran knew, the imperial palace was like the manor of a small noble in the countryside. However, compared with the nobles, it was still unimaginable compared to ordinary people who owned one or two wooden houses.
Following Pericna, it took about five minutes to arrive at the destination at the speed of the female leader of the Snake Sect.
"This is where the palace servants live."
"Ah, Mr. Turner?!"
Mary introduced to Qin Ran, but when she saw the female leader of the Snake Sect pushing open the door, the body crawling on the ground involuntarily exclaiming.
Then, without waiting for Qin Ran to ask, he explained.
"Turner is my father's servant chief. He has served my father since he was ten years old. He has blocked the hidden arrows from the shadows for my father more than once. Later, he gradually withdrew from people's sight because of too many injuries and lack of mobility. However, he still often goes to see my father."
"As my father told me, their relationship was very good in private, and Mr. Turner had no reason to murder my father!"
"Also, Mr. Turner is very kind, and many people in the palace like it. He loves this gentleman, and at least four or five people will come to visit him every day."
"A person like this cannot be the murderer!"
The underage princess said.
Qin Ran listened quietly, and his eyes had already entered the [tracking] field of vision.
He would not believe that the person in front of him was the murderer of James VIII because of Pericna's statement. Similarly, he would not think that the other party was innocent because of Mary's words.
Everything needs evidence.
Fortunately, there are not many such things, nor many.
Turner was killed in his room.
The murderer used a dagger.
The way he cut his throat from behind was to kill the officer of James VIII, but Turner, who could serve as the officer of James VIII, was obviously not the one who would surrender.
Even though I was injured and had difficulty moving, I still struggled at the last moment.
Qin Ran raised the calves of the former servant officer and looked at the bottom of the shoes.
The slightly dusty soles of the shoe, one of them, is particularly clean.
Obviously, the original servant instinctively controlled his feet to step on the other party.
This kick is very powerful.
So much so that the other party limped when leaving, and became so conspicuous among the many footprints.
Qin Ran stood up and followed the pair of footprints.
Soon, we arrived at the exterior wall of the Warren Palace.
"Your Highness, sir."
After seeing Qin Ran and Mary, the patrolling guards immediately saluted respectfully. When Mary waved her hand to signal, Qin Ran had already jumped past the wall and walked in a certain direction.
Pericna followed closely.
Looking at the black back, the female leader of the Snake Sect had another surprise in his eyes.
She knew that Qin Ran must have discovered something.
But she was also sure that there was no clue worth caring about in that house.
The traces were erased very cleanly.
Even the scent was eliminated.
As for the killing method?
Although throat cutting is cruel, it is not a secret technique. In the Snake Sect, you will be exposed to this technique from the beginning of apprenticeship.
Simply put, putting aside the core of her Snake Sect, about 20 people, more than 200 people around her can do this.
But immediately, the female leader of the Snake Sect darkened.
There is no one in the core of her branch.
Except for her.
Although she made enough preparations for the other party's "raid", she was still careless.
Not only did he underestimate the opponent's strength, but he also underestimated the opponent's number.
That failure was...
Her mistake!
Regret and hatred.
Like twin snakes, they bit the heart of the female leader of the Snake Sect, making her breathing rapid, and scenes of her death began to appear in front of her eyes.
Not willing to accept it!
pain!
despair!
As these intertwined each other, the female leader of the Snake Sect became staggering.
"I said that if you can't find it, it doesn't mean that 2567 can't be found."
At this moment, Mary's voice suddenly sounded, and the female leader of the Snake Sect was stunned. She realized that she was actually supported by Mary.
"Thanks."
Listening to the sarcastic words, the female leader of the Snake Sect first broke free from Mary's palm, and then thanked him seriously.
"I didn't want to help you."
"It's just that you happened to be standing next to me."
As Mary said this, her pace accelerated and she chased Qin Ran.
The female leader of the Snake Sect looked at Mary and shook his head slightly.
Of course she would not reveal how fast she was. If she hadn't seen something wrong with her, how could she keep walking side by side with her?
If it was a few days ago, she would have disdained the other person's kindness.
But now?
Pericna touched her heart.
Feel the sudden warmth.
She didn't seem too cold.
In the darkness, there were also rays of light.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Pericna quickly chased after him.
Mary, who was walking side by side with Qin Ran, looked at the female leader of the Snake Sect who was catching up with him, frowned slightly, and loosened a little, but immediately wrinkled again.
She can't figure it out!
Why did the murderer who wanted to murder her father choose Mr. Turner as his target?
Although the Warren Palace seemed a little depressed due to the war, there were still many waiters!
Among the hundreds of waiters, it is really unreasonable to choose the most conspicuous Turner!
If he was just an ordinary waiter, even if he happened in the palace, he would have handled things in a hurry. But if it were Turner, it would be different.
Turner's identity is destined to cause an uproar once it is discovered.
Moreover, Turner's good popularity is destined to be discovered!
"You're wondering why that guy chose Turner as his target?"
Qin Ran suddenly asked while moving forward.
"Um."
"This is unreasonable, Mr. Turner is so conspicuous!"
Mary nodded.
"because……"
"Turner is also one of his goals."
Qin Ran said lightly.
Chapter completed!
