Eighth Crown

A day passed quickly, and no one bothered Liu Xia during the period.

When he arrived at night and walked out of the room again, the entire Twin Towers still looked like martial law.

Liu Xia didn't pay too much attention to the death of Jin Jinji. After walking out of the Tower of Sun, he turned around again. As soon as he found Aozaki Orange, he immediately disguised and attacked.

His patience is very good. It is better to say that he has no such feeling of impatience. As long as he achieves his goal, he will not feel bored even if he repeats the monotonous behavior many times.

However, Aozaki orange was not found, instead, Liu Xia found Lenis, Grey, and King El-Melloi II.

In the depths of the vast forest, there is a steady stream of spring water, which seems to be a relatively spiritual node in this territory.

At that time, the three monarchs, El-Melloi II, were investigating something on the edge of the spring.

Liu Xia cast her gaze and saw a corpse floating on the spring water at a glance.

Karina, the maid of the Golden Princess.

In the early hours of the morning, she also identified Laines as a witness in the Tower of the Moon, but now it has turned into a silent corpse, floating on the spring water, and the position of her heart seems to be sunken, which must have been fatally injured. hit.

This is the second dead person.

Monarch El-Melloi II and Rhines were discussing the case by the spring. After being called by Rhines, he really came here from the Clock Tower.

"Mr. Liangyi?"

Grey felt that she could not be of much help, and was paying attention to her surroundings. After seeing Liu Xia's figure, she greeted him.

"Good evening, Grey."

Liu Xia walked to the edge of a few people with a normal expression, and there was just the right amount of surprise on her face, "Isn't this Jin Jinji's maid? She actually died? What happened?"

"I do not know either."

Grey shook his head a little lowly, as if he was blaming himself for not being able to help at all, "In the afternoon, we followed the footprints outside the Moon Tower to the spring, but when we got here , already..."

According to Grey, in the afternoon, because the Second World had not come, Lenis, who boasted about Haikou in front of Bailong, had to investigate by herself.

After finding Jin Jinji's footsteps in the grass outside the Moon Tower, Lenis traced the footsteps through the Mercury Maid and entered the forest.

But in the middle of the journey, because of accidentally triggering the barrier set up by the Izaluma family in the forest, the Mercury Maid and Lenis once broke the magical connection.

By the time they found the Mercury Maid, she was already standing on the edge of the spring, with blood on her hands, and Karina's body was already floating in the spring.

"Because of this incident, Miss Lenis was more and more identified as a prisoner by His Excellency Bailong, and even Trim was temporarily sealed. Fortunately, the master arrived in time and used the name of the monarch as a guarantee, and only reluctantly protected Miss Lenis. Down."

Grey described the whole process to Lucia.

In her opinion, of course, she does not think that Rhines is a prisoner, and Grey stayed with Rhines the whole time, which can fully prove Rhines' innocence, but because Grey and Rhines are the same, Izaluma does not agree with her testimony.

"Wait a minute, you said Trim had blood on his hands?"

Liu Xia raised her brows slightly, and immediately noticed something was wrong, "That is the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, which is essentially mercury, and it is very simple to avoid getting blood on it, even if there is no master's magic power, it should be able to expel the blood on its own, right? "

"Also, assuming that both Jin Jin Ji and Karina were killed by Trim, then the corpse of Jin Jin Ji was not stained with blood at all, but only after attacking Karina's heart, her hands were full of blood, no matter how you think about it. A little too strange?"

Few killers would be so stupid as to get themselves smeared with the blood of the dead - to be honest, he didn't intend to intervene, but he didn't care about anything and it didn't fit his current personality, so just give him some clues he found. , Let them solve the case by themselves.

"Eh? Is it...is that so?"

Gray was stunned for a moment, and then nodded suddenly, "Well... so it is, it seems so."

"Oh? My dear brother, your new student looks quite unusual."

Lenis's face had long since lost the nervousness she had when she faced Bairon's attack alone, replaced by a strong look of joy, "Just listening to Grey once, I can sort out this kind of thinking, my I can't turn my head so fast."

"I also hold the same opinion as Liang Yi."

The monarch El-Melloi II was still there, ignoring Lenis's words, but nodded in agreement with Liuxia's thoughts.

"It's clearly framed together, and the means of getting Trim blood on his hands are superfluous."

"By the way, the reason why I came so late was to find someone to investigate Izaluma's information, I didn't expect you to be so impatient!"

While saying that, the second cast a hateful look at Lenis.

II is both Lenis's adopted brother and her mentor in magic, so he often trains her like a student.

"No, no, I've already boasted about such a sea mouth. If I can't show any actual achievements, wouldn't it make El-Melloe's name a joke?" Lenis retorted in disapproval.

"But it's your actions that got you into the situation you are in now! Don't you think about it at all?"

"Of course I'm introspecting, but one code is another code. At that time, I have to take action, right?"

"Then you should retreat immediately when you sense something is wrong, instead of trying to go deeper!"

"Are you telling me to give up Trim?"

"Life is always more important than magic dress!"

"Hey... that's why I always say that my brother is a second-rate magician."

"Well... it's too foul to say this at such a time..."

Before reaching a conclusion, the brother and sister suddenly quarreled and hurt each other.

Although they are nominally the puppet monarch and the master behind them, the relationship between these two people may be unexpectedly good. Unfamiliar people cannot quarrel so skillfully.

Gray stood aside, although she couldn't see her face under the hood, but it also gave a happy feeling.

"By the way, Grey, you said earlier that you came here after discovering the footprints of Jin Jinji. Have you investigated the footprints?"

Lucia asked out loud to Grey next to her.

"No, not yet."

Grey shook his head, "We are still investigating the cause of Miss Karina's death, and the footprints haven't had time to continue the investigation."
