Chapter 1195

Human beings are unexpectedly strong, but sometimes unexpectedly fragile.

If the knife in the abdominal cavity is lucky, it may be a bit of skin trauma, but if it is stabbed in the vital points such as the liver and kidney, it is not fun. What's more, the assassin uses a cross blade, a dagger that looks like an oversized screwdriver. The blood grooves and serrations on it will further expand and complicate the wound.

In other words, if the rescue is timely, this person should be lying in the severe ICU now. Whether he can be rescued depends on his luck. If the rescue is not timely

——Already on the way to the crematorium.

However, the magic world is so unscientific. When Ann pointed to the assassin, the housekeeper had given Jeremiah a big health care with the healing scroll. A more professional therapist came in a few minutes. Now Jeremiah has regained consciousness. Even if he takes two steps now, there is no problem, Just because of excessive blood loss, you need to rest for a period of time to recover.

Carla is also in the room now. On the one hand, she is out of polite care. On the other hand, she also hopes to get the support of private soldiers of vinifred's family.

However, an Yizhi waited outside the room. After all, he was still Carla's bodyguard and didn't go in as high as that.

It doesn't matter. An Yizhi just took this opportunity to figure out what's going on.

There's nothing to say about the serial homicide in the branch mission. The suspect has been blocked into the sewer. If the guard doesn't talk nonsense, it's only a matter of time to catch him.

When Jeremiah was attacked by an assassin, the composition was even more complicated.

As the only son of Duke Winifred, one of the four pillars of the Empire, there must be countless people who want him to die. The politicians of the enemy country, the nobles of his country, and even his own cousins. After all, as long as he dies, the right to inherit the title will only turn to his cousins.

It's really not easy to find the messenger directly, but an Yizhi estimates that the other party must be a guy with considerable power. After all, ordinary people and even ordinary middle and small nobles can't afford dead men.

Obviously, the other party wants to frame Jeremiah's death in the name of a serial killer. Whether it's wise to protect himself or to make use of the topic, Ann Yizhi always thinks it's not so simple.

It's best not to get involved in the game between nobles. Intrigues and tricks are just commonplace. It should be said that it's rare for a girl like Carla to not become that virtue. If she gets involved rashly, things will become special ink.

This is mainly because this is not an Yizhi's home. He has no important people and power here. Although his combat effectiveness is high, he can't be too presumptuous. After all, the Empire must have its own strong people if it can live so long, otherwise it would have been pushed flat.

The power of the three towers alliance failed to expand to this replica world. The only thing that has some connection is Sevilla, but this is the imperial capital.

If it was in the magical city of Endymion, an Yizhi had led the demon guide Crusader to copy the house now, there would be no need for such trouble.

No wonder the gem psychedelic Clark finally told an Yizhi that the emperors are not very peaceful recently. If they can't get involved, they'd better not. At first, an Yizhi thought he was referring to the serial killer, but now it seems that he obviously noticed the undercurrent between the nobles.

Although imperial blue is not a magic gem, it is a very precious gem. Every gem has records. It is estimated that someone secretly went to Clark to buy it, but he didn't agree, which made Clark aware of the problems in the imperial aristocracy.

Open the task list and have a look. Although the main task is not activated, an Yizhi feels that as long as there are a little more clues, the main task will not run.

That's when Carla came out of the room. She found ANN with a frown and a headache on the sofa and said:

"Jeremiah agreed to send troops into the city, but he asked to participate in the operation."

Obviously, Jeremiah wants a credit, too.

Although in terms of the situation, Jerry Maiya is much better than Kara. As long as his father doesn't have a little brother and sister, he will never have to worry about the problem of inheritance. He just needs to join the army after the age of 18, be a consultant under his father's hands, and slowly learn to integrate all the skills required by the Duke.

But as the saying goes, people want face, trees want skin, and the self-esteem of Duke Jeremiah is a little unacceptable. Since Carla has brought the news that he can get credit, he naturally wants a share.

It doesn't matter. Without Jeremiah's army, encirclement and suppression would be impossible.

"We can finish this matter only with the permission of your majesty... You don't seem happy?"

An Yizhi said very speechless:

"Elder sister, did you ignore the assassination of Jeremiah just now?"

Instead, Carla was surprised:

"Assassination... Did it surprise you so much?"

“……”

What kind of life do these nobles usually live?

In fact, assassination is quite common among the nobles in this replica world. Otherwise, why are Kara's carriages protected by defensive magic?

The assassination of the four Dukes has never stopped, especially the assassination of the first heir.

It's OK for children like Carla and her brother Charles, who are almost impossible to inherit. Children with higher inheritance order basically face the risk of being assassinated every day, and the means are full of tricks, which is almost impossible to prevent.

From the orderly correspondence of the housekeeper, we can see that this kind of assassination is already common.

An Yizhi said that you nobles are so tired to live

"This kind of assassination usually doesn't leave any handle. If it does, it is mostly cited by the evil East, so it can't be traced many times. You'd better not think about it."

I'm afraid not. This is probably the main task, and it will only be triggered after taking the lead of the serial killer branch line.

"It's really impossible to investigate the general assassination, but this time it's different."

He took out the imperial blue that the assassin deliberately used to frame the blame and said:

"Imperial blue is a very precious sapphire. The stock is rare. Since it is rare, it is relatively easy to trace the origin of this gem."

Carla is rarely Smart:

"It's no use. If I were behind the scenes, I would completely destroy all the evidence before planning the action."

Precious gemstones do have a detailed history, but these origins are made by people. Since they are man-made, they may be destroyed.

"Don't worry."

An pointed and took out the crossbow and arrow used by the assassin to fight back:

"Look at this crossbow. What can you see?"

"Er... Well done?"

It's not just Haila. Even ANN can't help covering her face.

Elder sister, what have you learned in the military academy in recent years? Isn't identifying weapons a necessary subject in the military academy?

"Hella, explain."

"OK ~"

The evil lady jumped on ANN's finger, as if he had become a podium, and then said:

"This crossbow is different from the ordinary hand crossbow. The length of the general crossbow is about 8 inches, and this one is only 5 inches. After special treatment, the feathers used for the balance of the arrow tail are replaced by thin and foldable metal sheets. The function is to further reduce the space occupied by the crossbow and enhance the concealment."

Then Hera pointed her wings at the crossbow and arrow in Ann's hand and said:

"This kind of crossbow is usually used on the special mechanism crossbow called 'sleeve arrow'. The crossbow machine can be easily put into a wider sleeve. Some craftsmen can even put it into tights without being noticed. However, its power is no less than that of ordinary crossbows. After enchanting, it can even reach the level of strong bow. However, this kind of thing is rarely used by adventurers because Because the disadvantage is that you can only load one shot. It's very troublesome to load again. Most of the time, it's used for sneak attacks. "

"But what do these... Have to do with clues?"

Carla looked dazed, and Hella continued to explain:

"I've just seen the sleeve arrow used by assassins. It's a very exquisite type. This kind of sleeve arrow can never be produced in mass. Although humans may also be manufacturers, halflings and dwarfs are more likely to be in precision machinery."

Then Ann shook the crossbow in her hand:

"Look at the part of the arrow tip. Its material is not ordinary steel, but special metal from highly toxic areas such as poison marsh. Note that the dotted blue above is the evidence that the metal itself is highly toxic. Moreover, the forging technique is also very special. Usually, the arrow is hard, brittle and particularly sharp, and the arrow part of this crossbow arrow can be clearly seen We can see many layered structures. In this way, as long as it is shot into the human body, the arrow will expand the killing area in the body like a shrapnel. Coupled with the toxin carried by the metal itself, it is a weapon specially used for assassination. "

Haila said:

"However, this forging technique cannot be mastered by humans. At present, only dwarves have this forging technology, and the forging patterns on the arrows can also see the consistent characteristics of dwarves."

Carla was a little confused by their singing and singing:

"You'd better say the conclusion."

"The conclusion is that as long as we find the blacksmith shop or gathering place of halflings, dwarfs and dwarves, we can find out the whereabouts of the crossbow. At present, the premise is that the crossbow was not brought in by the assassin from outside the city, otherwise the ghost knows where it was made."

Hella interrupted:

"The crossbow is very new. It has just been forged. It doesn't take more than a day. I can recognize it."

Just like we eat, we can see whether the food is fresh at a glance. Haila can naturally see that equipment is her food.

"Although I don't want to check things that basically can't find the murderer, I really have nothing else to do now. I'll ask the guard to find a qualified blacksmith shop or weapons shop in the city according to the conditions you said."

Carla's meaning is tacit. As she said, if you want to catch the serial killer, you have to wait for the permission of your majesty. There's really nothing else to do during this period. Moreover, if it does happen, this information can also sell Duke Winifred a big favor.
