Terrence and Lancer looked at each other, and they walked two blocks at a faster pace, during which some flustered girls ran past them against the flow of people, and only then pointed out the direction for them.It's a pity that the girls were frightened and couldn't explain in more detail. Terrence still doesn't know what happened.

A float full of lace and flowers was parked at the accident site. It was tall and beautiful, but the soft curtain was splattered with blood.

Some daring people watching the excitement surrounded the float in the center, whispering and pointing with their heads bowed.Those who came later wanted to step forward to see what happened, but it was difficult to overcome the thick wall of people.

Terrence frowned slightly: "Lancer."

"Please hold on to me." The blond knight bent down to pick him up, stared at the stone wall next to him, and jumped onto the car by the reaction force of the wall.

There was a mess on it, some decorative bouquets fell to the ground and were trampled to pieces. People had already run away, leaving only a bluish-white female corpse.Her pure white dress was stained red with blood, and fell on the float with exquisite scenery, as if it was the ending of a poignant drama.

Terrence frowned and walked over, Lancer quickly stopped him: "It's better not to go forward, I'll check for you."

Terrence pushed his arm away, and he knelt down on one knee in front of the female corpse, turning the corpse with its back upside down, exposing the hideous face with wide-eyed, terrified faces in front of Terrence.Terrence was unmoved, and his eyes wandered around the entire corpse.

"It's not right." Terrence turned the body back again.

"What's the matter?" Lancer had been paying attention to Terrence's expression, and when he heard him speak, he asked subconsciously.

"This corpse has no wounds, where did so much blood come from?"

Lancer gave him a surprised look, and groped the woman's body up and down. It was indeed as Terrence said, that the woman's body was intact.

The two of them looked at each other, and Terrence rubbed between his brows with a headache.A very strange dead person suddenly appeared at such a grand ceremony, which gave him a bad premonition.

"Who are you two?! What are you doing here!"

The sound of neat footsteps stopped outside the car. Terrence turned his head and saw a tall and thin man jumping onto the float. Behind him, a group of soldiers with weapons lined up on both sides.

"Chief Xiao Zhi'an, it seems that the news you received was timely."

Terrence stood up, left the female corpse and walked in front of the man.His face was recognized by the other party at a glance, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Your Excellency, Duke Aldret."

"Hello, Sheriff. The last time we met was at the Duke of Cantor's banquet. It has been more than four months?"

"Your Excellency, why did you appear here?" Aaron Xiao turned his gaze around the lying female corpse and then retracted it. His eyes were sharp, and there were two deep forehead lines on his forehead. Looks like an unsmiling, serious and cautious guy.

Terrence also stopped exchanging greetings. He looked back at the corpse and said, "I heard screams just now, so I rushed over to take a look. I just wanted to do it out of enthusiasm, and I hope I didn't disturb your work."

"Not yet, sir. But we're about to get to work."

"Okay." Terrence had a new understanding of the low EQ of the Xiao family, but he said as he walked past Aaron Xiao, "As for the cause of death of this... Miss/Miss, I hope After you finish the investigation, you will not be stingy to give the Aldret House a piece of news."

Aaron Xiao looked at him and didn't speak - Terrence hadn't entered the parliament hall yet, so it stands to reason that many things should not be interfered too much.

This made Terrence shrug his shoulders helplessly: "In any case, Aldrete has invested a lot of crystal coins for this Wanhua Festival. I think that any unexpected event that hinders the smooth progress of the Wanhua Festival, I will take care of it." Reason to know."

"I see." Aaron Xiao nodded.

Terrence smiled, and got off the float with Lancer.

"Now, what should we do?" Ranser asked, he could see that Terrence was very concerned about this matter.

Terrence looked back at the huge wooden sign hanging above the float, which said "Bridges Theater Company" in cursive script.

"While Mr. Sheriff is still frowning at the poor lady, let's go and see the witnesses who were there."

The Bridges Troupe is not a professional drama troupe. It often performs small comedies full of fantasy colors, and earns money by traveling around and performing in small tents.This time, Mr. Gary, the head of the troupe, decided to take advantage of this Wanhua Festival to increase the popularity of the troupe, and invested a lot of money to come to the imperial capital to participate in the festival parade. Unexpectedly, there would be bloody incidents—this is too bad luck.

He scratched his hair and walked up and down the apartment.It wasn't until a girl in a gorgeous costume knocked on the door before he wiped his face and calmed down, and went to open the door.

"Sir...a noble gentleman is looking for you." The girl said nervously.

"What?" Gary frowned.Normally, he would have jumped up happily, but at this stall, he was a little uneasy.Misfortunes are always one after another, who knows what a noble lord is looking for him at this time.

But Gary couldn't refuse. He asked the girl to lead the way, changed his worried expression, and walked out with a smile on his face.

Waiting in the living room was a young man with blond hair. He was dressed gorgeously, which was completely different from the inferior imitation costumes. Only the blond hair made this cheap rented building look like a shame.

"Hello, Mr. Gary. My name is Rancer Chevinlieu."

"Please don't call me that, just call me Gary, sir."

"Okay, Gary." Lancer nodded, "I'm here to ask you about something that happened on your float."

"You mean Mary?" Gary sighed, and he knew nothing good would happen.

"Mary?"

"It's the girl who died today, God, that really shocked me." Gary said with a frown.

"Can you tell me exactly what happened?"

"I'm far away, so I don't know it very well. I just saw her fall down suddenly. If you want to know the details, I'll call Hannah." After he finished speaking, he motioned for the girl who brought the tea to run and call people.

Hannah is a tall girl, she should have taken a shower before, her hair is wet, she is wearing a linen skirt, the makeup has been removed from her face, revealing a face with freckles.This made her seem a little uncomfortable, and she pushed her hair to her chest, trying to cover her cheeks as much as possible.

"H-Hello, sir. What would you like to ask me?"

"Please don't be nervous." Lancer lowered his voice, "About the dead Mary, I heard that you were very close to her at the time, can you tell me about the scene at that time?"

"My God..." Hannah's voice trembled, "I'm so close to her! Sir, do you know? Too close! Her mouth has been spurting blood, and it's all over my face!"

"It's really sympathetic, you calm down, everything is over now." Lancer said warmly.

His voice really reassured Hannah.The girl wiped her eyes, and took a deep breath: "I, I don't know what happened... At that time, Mary and I were singing together, and she suddenly covered her neck and said 'It hurts' to me, I, I just thought that her voice hurt from singing, so I wanted to help her to sit in the back for a while, and then... the corner of her mouth suddenly bled, I was startled, and wanted to ask others to help, but it was too late! Mary suddenly Started to spurt blood - that's the kind, sir, have you ever seen a man slit his neck? Blood spurted out of a man's neck... oh my god, that blood spurted out of Mary's mouth like a fountain come out……"

Lancer came out of the dilapidated house. This area was the outskirts of the imperial capital, where all the civilians lived. Terrence's eyes were too special, so he waited for him by the door with a hat on.

"How about it?"

Lancer shook his head and sighed, repeating what he had just heard.

Terrence nodded, signaling to leave here first.

"This kind of death is not normal at all, it is very likely a homicide." Terrence said in a low voice while stepping on the gravel road. "Poison, spells... There are too many ways to kill people unconsciously. We can only wait for the news from Aaron Xiao. You said that the dead girl has no enemies?"

"She's just an ordinary person, not just her. Everyone in the theater is an ordinary person without magic power and fighting spirit, and they only arrived in the imperial capital these two days. Who would go to such great lengths to kill her?"

Terrence sighed: "More than that, the murder itself doesn't make sense. Since such a covert murder method was used, why did the girl die in full view?"

The two of them walked back to the central area while talking. Because of the bloody incident, today's Wanhua Festival was forced to suspend, and most people returned home.There are very few pedestrians on the road, all of them are mages in robes and warriors with weapons.There are also scattered flower petals on the road, making the whole block look even more desolate.

Terrence pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly. This kind of thing never happened in the previous two lives, which gave Terrence a headache.If he had to say something changed history, Terrence could only think of the closer relationship between Shanin Pyle and the people recently, if this made some forces feel threatened...

Terrence recalled the scene when he saw Joey Abant coming out of the church - maybe he had to find out if His Royal Highness had done something.

And when everything was still inconclusive, a second murder case occurred in the imperial capital.

The author has something to say: One second I was still in political turmoil, the next second I was suspenseful and reasoning... Please call me Cardcaptor Sakura, thank you everyone _(: 3∠)_
