I Will Be The Crowned King

"One minute, I only give you one minute!"

The soldier of the Guards, dripping with cold sweat, held up his pistol, and with his trembling eyes he could not bear to look at the tragically dead body on the ground, and shouted at the box door full of gunshots and bloodstains:

"Get out on your own in a minute, or I'll shoot!"

Anson has been surrounded.

After realizing that they had only one enemy, these elite guards, who were far more than the scum of the levy, decided to outflank on two fronts—two blocked the corridor, two blocked the front and rear boxes, one blocked the door, and one flanked.

On the premise of sufficient preparation, the number is the advantage of the crushing level, and even the best soldier can send him to the sky with a single shot.

Of course, with the exception of certain monsters.

Anson, who was complaining in his heart, sat on the floor of the box, filling the revolver's magazine with bullets one by one, while counting silently in his heart.

"Fives!"

The nervous guards soldier shouted, and the right thumb buckled the hammer.

"Four!"

An Sen, who filled the magazine, picked up a revolver from a body of a guard in the box.

"three!"

The two guards outside the door looked at each other and slowly got up.

"two!"

Playing a gun with both hands, An Sen stood up facing the box door without any scruples, and the guns in both hands were aimed at both sides at the same time.

"one!"

………………

"Snapped!"

Draco, who was standing in front of the door, knocked on the door with his pipe without warning, shocking the five people who were absorbed in it.

"At the very end of this No. 12 carriage, there was only one passenger in the first-class box, but at the same time, there were two victims who died at the same time, and even the method of death was extremely similar."

"This seems to be a murder case full of mysteries, and it is even completely incomprehensible; in fact, the moment we entered the door, the truth was put in front of us."

Draco turned his head, pretending to be a bamboo in his chest and looking at the people with puzzled expressions:

"The key to the answer lies in the identity of the two!"

"……identity?"

In the silence, the old aristocrat wearing a top hat spoke first, his slightly hoarse voice seemed very cautious: "You mean that this unfortunate case was caused by the identity of the two?"

Draco, who was smoking a pipe, smiled slightly, and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he walked between the two corpses, and his lowered eyes first looked at the captain on the right:

"First of all, this captain of the Guards, in his thirties, unmarried, living a simple life, and working hard - his cheeks, knuckles and forearms have been injured, and the military uniforms on his body are extremely obvious. Guard officers receive clothing and travel allowances four times a year."

"His skin color and posture have obvious traces of alcoholism, combined with the injuries on his body - the judgment I give is that this is an officer who has been struggling for many years but has never been promoted. He lives alone, with most of his salary and The subsidy is used to see a doctor and treat an injury plus get drunk."

Draco spoke so fast that before everyone could react, his lowered eyes had moved to the left:

"As for this decent gentleman, his cane sword is very unique - the body is a dark wood with silver-plated handle, and the steel sword inside is sharp, which is not an ordinary sword-making workshop, but comes from the hands of military workers."

"The use of this weapon proves that this gentleman was also from the military, and most likely was or remains a high-ranking officer, as evidenced by his strong physique under his coat and his ability to fight murderers."

"The two have the same identity, the same age, and even the time of death and the method of death are basically the same..." Draco slowly raised his head, and there was some meaningful light in his eyes:

"And the beginning of the whole unfortunate incident is that this wealthy and decent gentleman heard someone outside the house while smoking a pipe, and for some reason we do not know, he opened the door of the box without warning."

"So... what's the reason?"

The smiling home deliberately seduced.

Silence... In the box filled with the breath of death, the faces were either solemn, hesitant, or confused, and the crowd fell into silent thought.

After several minutes, the frightened waiter suddenly raised his right hand tremblingly and whispered in an extremely uncertain tone:

"Because...they know each other?"

Everyone looked up, waiting for Draco to reply.

I don't know when, they began to adapt to this "case-solving" method of revealing the truth.

This time, the family deliberately did not give an immediate answer, but pondered for a long time until everyone began to show impatience, and then nodded solemnly:

"I think that's very likely - but that brings up another problem."

"what is the problem?"

The train conductor, who was still looking ugly just now, is now more eager to know the answer than anyone else.

"A poor captain of the Guards appeared outside the first-class box, and a respectable gentleman of his age and acquaintance opened the door for him, and a few hours later, both of them died in the locked box. Until the enthusiastic waiter opened the box door..." Draco turned around with a solemn look on his face:

"Gentlemen and ladies, I think we are very close to the truth of this case."

"This was a deliberate blackmail and accidental murder!"

Everyone with different expressions screamed or took a breath, but they were not surprised.

In fact, after following the process of "solving the case" with Draco, they could already imagine the part of the story that the monk did not tell.

The low-ranking officer, living in poverty and despair, somehow learned that a certain noble-born colleague in the past was on this Steel Sky, so he tried to sneak into the train.

After trying to blackmail him to no avail, jealousy and low self-esteem prompted him to kill; in the end, without anyone finding out, the two who fought each other eventually perished together...

"But there is one crucial piece of evidence missing if the case is to be definitively settled."

Draco, who spoke softly, interrupted everyone's thoughts, and walked towards the box door while puffing at the clouds:

"A decent gentleman from the Army like this usually has no shortage of guards around him; and this captain must have understood that if he couldn't find a way to kill the gentleman's guard, he would not be able to escape from the Iron Sky even if the blackmail was successful, so he would definitely Be prepared."

"Everyone, this... is the key to the final decision!"

………………

"boom!"

The moment the gunshots sounded, the stunned Guard soldiers could vaguely hear the screams of their companions, and the Guard soldiers guarding the front of the carriage disappeared.

Seizing the gap where the opponent was stunned for a moment, An Sen in the box opened fire on both sides at the same time, and instantly fired bullets; the thin second-class box wall could not block the power of the revolver at all, killing the ambush in the front and rear boxes. the other two soldiers.

After confirming that he had killed the enemy, Anson decisively abandoned the gun that fired the bullet and kicked the door at the same time.

"Boom!"

The door of the soldier's room, which was slammed open, slammed heavily on the wall of the passage of the carriage, and looked in panic as a companion was shot through the head by a bullet that came from nowhere.

In the next second, the figure rushing out of the door got behind him, dragged his right hand and aimed at the companion at the other end and opened fire—the six bullets were instantly emptied, and the blood sprayed soldier stumbled and fell from the connection of the carriage. .

The desperate soldier struggled desperately, but Anson behind him forcibly twisted his right hand holding the gun, and turned around again.

The last picture he saw was a young girl in an old military uniform holding a Borne rifle~www.readwn.com~ and grinning at him from a position outside the entire carriage.

………………

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the panting waiter pushed through the crowded crowd in the corridor, and when he slammed open the door, he looked at everyone in the box with a horrified expression:

"Find, found! No. 8 carriage, there are traces of gunfights and bodies everywhere!"

"That gang, that group of people... that group of people seems to have perished together!"

The moment the words fell, in the corridors and rooms that had been very quiet just now, the crowded gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen became commotion, whispering at Draco, either surprised or suspicious.

The pipe-smoking man put his hands in his pockets and smiled in a very plain tone:

"Gentlemen and ladies, congratulations to you all."

"We found the truth about the train homicide!"
