Faced with Mary's unkind words, Perikna nodded.
"Um."
There is no rebuttal, let alone debate.
When she decided to 'ask for help' from Qin Ran, the female leader of the Snake Sect was already mentally prepared to straighten out her identity and status.
But Mary frowned again.
It was not the first time she met the female leader of the Snake Sect, but compared to the previous ones who showed their sharpness, this time the other party made her feel much more difficult.
The poisonous snake in front of me is not scary.
The scary ones are hidden in the bushes, in the shadows.
I will keep an eye on you!
Mary told the other party with her eyes.
The female leader of the Snake Sect didn't respond. At this moment, she didn't have the heart to pay attention to these things at all. She knew that the most important thing she should do at this moment was to concentrate on leading the way for Qin Ran.
Warren Palace, not big.
Compared to some royal palaces and palaces that Qin Ran knew, it was like the manor of a small nobleman in the countryside, but this was also compared with the nobles, compared with ordinary people with one or two wooden houses, it was still Unimaginably large.
Following Perikna, at the speed of the female leader of the Snake Sect, it still took about five minutes to arrive at the destination.
"This is where the court servants live."
"Oh, Mr. Turner?!"
Mary introduced it to Qin Ran, but when she saw the corpse crawling on the ground after the female leader of the Snake Sect opened the door, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
Then, without waiting for Qin Ran to ask, he explained.
"Turner, is my father's chief waiter. He has served my father since he was ten years old. He has blocked the arrows from the shadows for my father more than once. Later, he gradually withdrew due to too many injuries and inconvenient movements. The sight of people, though, will still see my father a lot.”
"According to what my father told me, they have a very good private relationship. Mr. Turner has no reason to murder my father!"
"Moreover, Mr. Turner is very kind. Many people in the palace like and love this gentleman. At least four or five people will visit him every day."
"Such a person cannot be a murderer!"
Said the underage princess.
Qin Ran listened quietly, but his eyes had already entered the field of view of [Tracking].
He would not believe that the person in front of him was the murderer who wanted to murder James VIII just because of what Perikna said, and similarly, he would not think that the person was innocent just because of Mary's words.
Everything needs evidence.
Thankfully, there are not many such things, nor few.
Turner was killed in his room.
The murderer used a dagger.
The Chief Chamberlain of James VIII was killed by cutting his throat from behind, but Turner, who could serve as Chief Chamberlain of James VIII, was obviously not someone who would be caught without a fight.
Even though it was difficult to move because of too many injuries, he still struggled at the last moment.
Qin Ran lifted the former Chief Attendant's calf, and looked at the sole of the shoe.
The soles of the shoes were slightly dusty, and one of them was particularly clean.
Obviously, the former chief waiter's body instinctively controlled the sole of his foot to step on the opponent.
This kick is powerful.
As a result, the other party limped when they left, and became so conspicuous among the many footprints.
Qin Ran stood up and followed the pair of footprints.
Soon, they came to the outer wall of Warren Palace.
"Your Highness, my lord."
When the patrolling guards saw Qin Ran and Mary, they immediately saluted respectfully. When Mary waved her hand to signal, Qin Ran had already jumped over the wall and was walking in a certain direction.
Perikna followed closely.
Looking at the black figure from behind, the female leader of the Snake Sect was once again surprised.
She knew that Qin Ran must have discovered something.
But she was equally sure that there were no clues worth caring about in that house.
The traces were wiped clean.
Even the smell is eliminated.
As for the method of killing
Although cutting the throat is cruel, it is not a secret technique. In the Snake Sect, from apprentices onwards, they will all be exposed to this technique.
To put it simply, apart from the core of about 20 people in her Snake Sect, the more than 200 people in the outer circle can do this.
But immediately, the face of the female leader of the Snake Sect darkened.
The core of her team is gone.
Except her.
Although she had made enough preparations for the other party's 'raid', she was still careless.
Not only underestimated the opponent's strength, but also underestimated the opponent's number.
That failure was...
her mistake!
Regret and hate.
Like twin snakes, biting the heart of the female leader of the Snake Sect, making her short of breath, and scenes of her companion's death began to appear in front of her eyes.
Unwilling!
pain!
despair!
When these were intertwined, the pace of the female leader of the Snake Sect became staggering.
"As I said, just because you can't find it doesn't mean that 2567 can't find it."
At this moment, Mary's voice suddenly sounded, and the female leader of the Snake Sect was taken aback for a moment before she realized that she was being supported by Mary.
"Thanks."
Hearing those sarcasm words, the leader of the Snake Sect first broke free from Mary's hand, and then thanked her earnestly.
"I didn't want to help you."
"It's just that you happened to be standing next to me."
After saying this, Mary quickened her pace and chased after Qin Ran.
The female leader of the Snake Sect looked at Mary and shook her head slightly.
Of course she wouldn't reveal that at the speed of the other party, if she didn't see something wrong with her, how could she have been walking side by side with her all the time.
For the kindness of the other party, if it was a few days ago, she must have dismissed it.
but now
Perikna touched her heart.
Feel the sudden warmth.
She doesn't seem too cold anymore.
In the darkness, there are also traces of light.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Perikna quickly chased after her.
Mari, who was walking side by side with Qin Ran, looked at the female leader of the Snake Sect who was chasing up, and frowned slightly, then relaxed a little, but immediately frowned again.
She can't figure it out!
Why would the murderer who wanted to kill her father choose Mr. Turner as his target
Although due to the war, the Warren Palace seemed a bit depressed, but there were still many waiters!
Among hundreds of waiters, it is unreasonable to choose the most conspicuous Turner!
If it was just an ordinary waiter, during this period, even if it happened in the palace, it would be handled hastily, but if it was Turner, it would be different.
Turner's identity is doomed, once discovered, it will cause an uproar.
Moreover, Turner's good popularity is destined to be discovered!
"You're wondering why that guy chose Turner as a target?"
Qin Ran, who was walking forward, suddenly asked.
"Um."
"This is unreasonable, Mr. Turner is too conspicuous!"
Mary nodded.
"because… "
"Turner is also one of his targets."
Qin Ran said lightly.
