Chapter 1194: Assassin from the Undead Race
The development of the matter to now was actually very simple. The deaths of the little princess, the Queen, and Legion Commander Karen were not important at all. They were just the first link in the plan, which could be considered three relatively important pawns.
The content of the whole plan was as follows: first, a murder case occurred in the royal palace, and the identity of the deceased must be sensitive so that the powerful Iron Hand beside the old king could be drawn away.
When Iron Hand was drawn away, the assassination plan officially began. The detailed steps were temporarily unclear because the assassination failed before it even started.
This quest was not a reasoning quest at all, but a long-planned royal assassination. Thinking about it this way, the whole thing became much simpler.
The detective named Nonista Ford also reasoned out what Su Xiao thought of, and even reasoned more detailedly, but he didn't dare to write out the content he reasoned out completely. Some things he had to rot in his stomach for a lifetime, unless he didn't want to live.
It was nothing for the little princess to be pregnant. This belonged to the moral level. But it was different for the Queen to be pregnant. This was equivalent to taking off the iron crown on the old king's head and replacing it with a green Xuan jade crown.
Some things could never be made public, such as the Queen being pregnant. That detective didn't want to die, so he implicitly proposed it in the investigation data. This was asking for help from Su Xiao. He helped Su Xiao infer the whole thing, in order to ask Su Xiao, this fierce Iron Hand, not to silence him.
Su Xiao, of course, would protect this detective. This guy's reasoning ability belonged to the top level of this world, and he would definitely be useful in the future.
Now the first thing was to find where Kingdom Finance Officer Rowan Harvey was. His suspicion was not the greatest, but he might be the breakthrough of the whole thing.
Su Xiao just walked out of the courtyard when a series of screams came from the nearby street. An imperial guard covered in blood rushed toward Su Xiao.
With a 'danglang' sound, the imperial guard in black armor fell to the ground. He had at least dozens of slashes on his body, and a small piece of his skull had been shaved off.
This imperial guard fell in front of Su Xiao, and one of his arms was raised.
"My... lord, detective Nonista Ford... is dead, there is only one enemy, the weapon is..."
Every time this imperial guard spoke a few words, he would vomit blood in large mouthfuls. It was clear that his life was not long. His heart was pierced.
"Understood, the information you provided is very valuable."
Su Xiao's voice just fell, and the imperial guard's arm fell to the ground, and the whole person lost his breath.
"Collect the corpse, bury it thickly."
Su Xiao looked at the two royal capital guards standing dumbfounded at the door. These guys hadn't been to the battlefield. It was no problem to maintain the security of the royal capital. Letting them kill enemies on the battlefield was a bunch of grass bags. The royal capital didn't need them to protect it either. They only needed to maintain security.
"Yes, yes."
Su Xiao walked into the crowd that was gradually gathering. As he guessed, the enemy had begun to sit still. Killing the detective was clearly to delay Su Xiao's investigation speed, but unfortunately, they killed a bit late.
The detective was the primary target, then the second target was...
Su Xiao walked through the crowd quickly. He was considering whether to find Kingdom Finance Officer Rowan Harvey first, or to stop the silencing that might appear.
Kingdom Finance Officer Rowan Harvey only had suspicion, but he was not necessarily related to this matter. But those who came to silence him were definitely related to this matter.
If his guess was correct, the second silencing target was likely the Second Princess. She provided Su Xiao with the information network in the royal capital.
Just at this moment, Su Xiao's footsteps paused. He suddenly recalled a very critical point, a little mouse.
Before the purge began last night, Rowan Harvey had used a little mouse to contact Su Xiao. This kind of contact was not the first time, so Su Xiao didn't suspect it.
The content of Rowan Harvey's contact with Su Xiao last night was very simple, only three words: 'Is there me.'
Su Xiao previously thought that Rowan Harvey had a sense of danger, which made Su Xiao feel quite surprised. As one of the four people most trusted by the old king, he actually began to feel a sense of danger?
Su Xiao now faced a choice: whether to find Rowan Harvey, or to go to the Second Princess's side to meet the assassin who might appear.
After considering for a while, Su Xiao made a decision. The Second Princess being assassinated would not necessarily die. Sending a message beforehand would suffice. But if Rowan Harvey was related to this matter, the other party would definitely become very careful. Judging from the current situation, he was likely to flee outside the royal capital.
If Su Xiao's guess was true, then Rowan Harvey was definitely a big fish.
Su Xiao leaped on the roofs of residential houses. In this huge royal capital, it was not simple to find Rowan Harvey, but fortunately, he had the information channel of the royal capital.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived in front of a three-story building. This was a 'selling gold kiln' under the Second Princess's name. The guards at the door of the selling gold kiln saw Su Xiao, and they immediately pushed the door to welcome Su Xiao into it.
"Lord Bai Ye, what are you here for this time?"
A beautiful woman of about 40 years old greeted him, her gaze ambiguous.
"Where is Rowan Harvey."
Hearing the name Rowan Harvey, the beautiful woman's body trembled.
"My lord, this..."
The beautiful woman knew who Su Xiao was, and also knew who Rowan Harvey was.
"Go check immediately."
Su Xiao looked directly at the beautiful woman, and the beautiful woman took several steps back.
"Yes, yes."
The beautiful woman said so, but she contacted the Second Princess through a secret channel first. The Second Princess's reply was very simple: check immediately, but try to check as secretly as possible.
This world had no communication equipment, so even if the Second Princess's information network was very wide, it would take some time to find where Kingdom Finance Officer Rowan Harvey was.
Half an hour later, the beautiful woman hurried over, her face somewhat pale.
"Lord Rowan Harvey, no, Rowan Harvey left the royal capital secretly at noon."
The beautiful woman had already guessed that something big was going to happen.
"Cunning old guy, slipped away so fast."
When Su Xiao guessed that Rowan Harvey was wrong, the other party had already fled the royal capital.
This was lively. Kingdom Finance Officer Rowan Harvey fled. One must know that the kingdom's financial power was previously held in his hands. This guy hid too deep, and now he had already retired successfully and went to enjoy 'exotic' customs.
Rowan Harvey was the enemy's person. This was already a nail on the board. For the royal family, this was a terrifying thing. To be able to send Rowan Harvey to the position of Kingdom Finance Officer, how many years of operation and planning did it need? A few years, no, that was a matter that needed planning for decades.
Now the kingdom's finance was a time bomb. God knows when it would explode. Once the finance had a problem, the one most affected was the front-line battlefield.
In the Hia continent, the only one Su Xiao could think of who could do this was the Undead race.
It seemed that the Undead race not only launched a large-scale attack on the Wall of God on the front line, but they also disintegrated the royal family's power system within the human race, planted spies, etc., so the Undead was definitely not a simple-minded race. Their intelligence was no less than humans.
The Undead arranged a plan for decades, and at this point in time, it operated, clearly aiming at this power struggle.
"My lord, we..."
The beautiful woman just spoke, and a blood line appeared on her neck. Her head rolled down, and blood splattered onto the ceiling.
"Kabakena (Undead language: Ninety-ninth)."
A figure wearing a red cloak and a red hood squatted on the chandelier on the ceiling. Its figure was slender, and it wore a white mask on its face, and the mask was also stained with blood.
"Wukela qiqi (Undead language: You are the hundredth)."
This slender Undead race wearing a red cloak stared at Su Xiao. Those were a pair of emerald green pupils.
"So the target was not the Second Princess, but me. What an unexpected harvest."
Su Xiao exercised his bones, and the Dragon Flash appeared in his hand. From the other party's aura, he could feel that the other party's strength was not weak, and this time he needed to catch a live one, otherwise the whole hidden side quest would have no clear breakthrough. ===== CHAPTER 1195 =====
