Infinity: Others play games with krypton gold, I play games with krypton life

The laws of the empire were strict, and scarce weapons such as guns were absolutely prohibited and only used by high-ranking military officials. Even the most powerful and wealthy nobles could not get one.

This scared everyone present. Possession of firearms is a felony, and failing to report it is also a serious crime.

Sure enough! The Inset family is all crazy!

Everyone present moved their eyes tremblingly, only to find that the gunman was not from the Inset family, but the gentleman wearing a cute rabbit mask who was standing silently beside Miss Mantis.

He held the gun in one hand and took off the mask with the other, then reluctantly put it into Mantis' arms.

"Sorry! I scared you all. My fiancée has something to say."

Someone recognized the handsome blond man and exclaimed and waved his hands.

"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't expect it to be General Wood Hall. Then your fiancée..."

Everyone's eyes fell on Miss Mantis, and they suddenly realized what was going on. Many ladies showed envious looks.

"Okay, honey, put the gun away! I think Foley should have calmed down, right?"

The woman raised her hand and gently placed it on the man's forearm holding the gun, then turned to look at the silent and forbearing Foley, smiling with satisfaction.

"What Foley said is correct. For safety reasons, this man should be tied up first."

Mantis turned to look at the man with blood on his hands and smiled, "I hope Mr. Butler will understand and not do anything stupid."

Ling Rizhao believed that he could fight ten people with his bare hands, and he was confident that he could fight his way out of the siege in a hand-to-hand fight. But with the muzzle of a gun pointed in front of him, Ling Rizhao had no choice but to surrender.

Seeing that the "assailant" did not intend to resist, Foley's personal valet volunteered to kidnap him.

The man moved quickly and skillfully. He wrapped the rope around the neck, across the chest and back, crossed it around the waist, and finally tied the man's wrists tightly.

Ling Rizhao struggled uncomfortably, his face gloomy.

At this time, a man wearing a white suit and a white dove mask walked out from the crowd and introduced himself, "I am Newt Howard. I was a forensic doctor before I became a family doctor at Inset Castle. Please allow me to examine the body of Mr. Snake."

Seeing that no one had any objection, Newt glanced at the suspect standing next to the body with a stern look on his face. He consciously went around and squatted on the other side of the body to start working.

After an inspection, Newt frowned and concluded, "Sneak's fatal wound was a knife wound on his back. It's strange that the wound is irregular in shape. There are scratches on the back of his hand, which means he had a head-on conflict with the criminals. Judging from the stiffness of the body, he died a quarter of an hour ago."

Mantis nodded, thanked Dr. Newt for his help, and turned to the butler.

"Okay, Gru Ward. Now tell me, why did you kill Snake?"

Listening to the woman's question, Ling Rizhao frowned fiercely, "No reason?"

"what?"

Seeing that the murderer was so rampant, everyone denounced him, and some even responded to Foley Inset's suggestion, threatening that the man should be hanged directly.

Ling Rizhao silently observed everyone's actions, then slowly spoke.

"Ms. Mantis's question is problematic because I didn't kill this man. So there is no reason."

The scene suddenly fell silent. Mantis was speechless and did not speak for a while.

"You still dare to quibble. It's obvious that you killed him because you coveted the pocket watch that was passed down from Snake's family."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to Foley's personal valet, including Foley himself who was a little surprised.

"Lizeld, what's going on?"

"My dear young master, I heard a few days ago that Butler Gru wanted to borrow Snake's pocket watch, but was rejected. The two of them had a very unpleasant argument at the time. But now the pocket watch that Snake usually wore on his chest is gone."

Mantis's eyes darkened slightly, "Is this your guess?"

Lizard bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Miss. But we will know the truth after searching."

Ling Rizhao, who had just come here today, naturally had no way of knowing what happened a few days ago. But he observed the micro-expressions on Lizard's face and clearly understood that the man was lying.

He just thought it was funny to listen to the story that the man made up, and he allowed the castle guard to search him without hesitation. But when he met the man's teasing eyes, Ling Rizhao suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Found it! He is the murderer. That's right."

Ling Rizhao's heart skipped a beat and he looked down at the castle guard who took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket.

He immediately understood that this was a trap.

The pocket watch must have been slipped into his pocket by Lizard when he was tying him up. He and Foley had set him up with the lives of their companions.

With a snap, the long whip whistled towards him. Ling Rizhao dodged and the whip hit the orange tree nearby. The half-yellow fruits fell to the ground with a clatter, hitting the people watching under the tree and causing them to run away with their heads in their hands.

"You killed Snake. I want your life."

Seeing that Fulai's hand holding the whip was shaking constantly, as if he was enduring some kind of pain, Ling Rizhao looked thoughtfully at Lizard who had just handed him the whip.

While he was thinking, another whip came straight towards the door. Ling Rizhao had no time to dodge and raised his forearm to prepare to take the whip.

An orange suddenly exploded in front of his eyes, and the sweet and sour smell came to his face, stimulating Ling Rizhao's taste buds. His Adam's apple rolled, and he turned his head to see a familiar figure.

[Main quest progress: 50%]

"What are you doing?"

Foley turned his head and glanced. It was a young man who was too thin and pale, wearing a golden butterfly mask and an extremely sophisticated three-piece dark blue suit. He must be the young master of a noble family who was invited.

Fulai didn't care and continued to whip. "Bang" an orange hit his face, hitting his nose. The pain rushed to his eyes and almost made him cry.

"Who the hell is looking for death?"

Foley's fierce gaze startled everyone, and the onlookers shrank back and cast sympathetic eyes at the boy. But the latter was not only not panicked, but reached out to pick another orange and tossed it around in his hand.

"Ha! You are running wild in my castle, and you dare to ask who I am?"

Lizard looked at the newcomer, his pupils trembling and almost popping out of their sockets. He opened his mouth wide, the question stuck in his throat, a little bit unbelievable.

Isn’t this person dead?
