The Whispering Verses Chapter 1291: Yodele Palace Murder Incident
Chapter 1291 Murder in Yodel Palace
As Shade walked out of the door, he turned around and saw Lesia walking briskly with a group of maids. When she saw Shade standing in the corridor, she thought Shade was waiting for her:
"I brought "Summer Night Collection"."
Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled and waved the book in her hand. Although Shade had seen this book many times, he had never really seen the content inside.
"Just bring it, I'm looking forward to the content inside."
Xia De said, Lecia asked again with a slightly red face:
"Have you brought that?"
This is what Lecia specifically asked Dorothy to remind Shade not to forget this morning.
"Yes, brought it."
He shook the small crown pendant hanging on his wrist, and the red-haired princess showed a satisfied expression:
"I hope this book club will be as smooth as last time. Come in with me."
She pretended to use the key to open the door to the lounge at the end of the corridor. She turned around and saw Tifa standing in front of the door diagonally opposite, looking at them.
"Good evening, Miss Servitt, how are you doing in Sarah Deal County?"
Lesia said hello, Shade turned around and wanted to say something more to Tifa, but was pulled directly into the room by Lesia:
"No one is allowed in without my permission."
The crowned princess spoke seriously to the maids she brought with her, and the personal maids stood at the door. Lesia finally smiled at the black-haired maid diagonally opposite. Tifa saw her inside the door, turned around and hugged Shade passionately. Shade's left eye was covered by Lesia, and his right eye passed through The door looked at Tifa.
The two looked at each other across Lesia, and with a gentle push of Lesia's spell, the door behind her closed. The space between the door became smaller and smaller, Shade still looked at Tifa, and Tifa looked at Shade, and she even saw the blonde girl walking over.
The door quickly completely blocked the sight of the two people, one was inside the door and the other was outside. Lesia's maids quickly found their respective positions at the door, but they also seemed to be very interested in what was happening inside the door.
"This feeling"
Tifa blinked her beautiful eyes:
"It's really interesting."
There is a big difference between a princess's silver crown and His Majesty's crown, and with both being present, many interesting games can be played. Even Dorothy, who acted very reserved, still showed her enthusiasm tonight when she performed "Red Butterfly Day" again more than a month later.
No one knows what is happening inside the door, but the girls who know about this special event can't help but imagine the fiery scene inside now.
At about 8:30 that evening, the sound of hurried footsteps disturbed the peace of the rest area. The protagonist of the birthday party, the little princess Agelina, held up her skirt and came here anxiously with her maid. She wanted to approach the innermost door, but she was a little afraid of her sister, so she knocked on the door. Miss Carina's door rang.
At this time, the Duchess was in the room, chatting with Lesia's married sister, Princess Camille. Seeing Agelina rushing in, the princess, who was already the mother of two children, said with some dissatisfaction:
"Agelina, you are now a seventeen-year-old girl, why are you still so reckless? What about the etiquette of a lady?"
"If you have something to do, go to Aunt Carina."
She said timidly, so Miss Carina nodded, and Princess Camille regretfully ended the visit. After Tifa closed the door, Agelina said nervously:
"I want to see Shade, now. Something happened and I need him to show up."
She briefly explained what was happening in the banquet hall at the moment. Miss Carina put down the book in her hand and frowned slightly:
"Is there such a thing? Tifa, you take Agelina to knock on the door. Even Lesia, Shade must show up at this time. No, no, I'll knock on the door. Otherwise you may be torn apart by angry eaters."
After saying that, she stood up from the sofa, and the group entered the corridor and walked towards the closed door. The maids originally wanted to stop him, but when they saw Miss Carina, they had no choice but to give up their positions.
The witch knocked on the door herself. After knocking twice, although she did not hear the sound from inside the door, she knew that they must have heard it. So the people in the corridor waited for a moment, and soon, the door was opened, and Shade, wearing only a white shirt, appeared at the door, and used his body to block the ladies outside the door from peering into the door:
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Agelina and Miss Carina were both there, he also realized that something might have happened.
Smelling Shade's scent, the witch's face turned red:
"? Meng Quan Yanlu Department Mu Zhenxuan [Liang Xian Hui Niao Dan? Really, what are you all playing at? Agelina, tell me."
Shad just put on his clothes in a hurry and opened the door. The top two buttons of his shirt were not even fastened. Her Royal Highness the Princess took a peek at Shade's neck, with the tip of her tongue touching the inside of her lips in her pursed mouth, and then spoke quickly:
"A murder has occurred."
"Murder? Here? Yodel Palace?"
"Yes, father already knows about this matter. Now there are about a dozen people who know that the body has appeared, and they are all controlled by people from MI6, so most of the guests don't know what happened. Father instructed, Find the murderer before the banquet ends and let you investigate and solve the case as a detective instead of letting the police handle the case with great fanfare. Try to minimize the impact of the matter and not attract too much attention when investigating the case. "
"Is there such a thing? I mean, I understand, I will go now."
While he was talking, Lesia’s voice came from the room behind Shade:
"Shad, did the **** Kasonrik people hit Tobesk City?"
"Of course not."
"What's that?"
Shad explained what happened to Lecia and Dorothy. Although they were unwilling to let Shad leave like this, they were forced to admit that they did need him to handle this matter. So the three of them could only change clothes in a hurry. Shade followed Agelina to the crime scene, while Lecia and Dorothy went to the banquet hall together, so that no one would doubt Lesia. What did Qiya do all night?
However, before Shade left, Lesia told him to come back within an hour and threatened Agelina. Although Lesia's tone was quite calm, the little princess could also feel how dissatisfied Lesia Cavendish was at this moment.
Miss Carina was not suitable to participate in this matter, so she asked Tifa to follow Shade and act as a temporary detective assistant. As Agelina walked towards the place of the incident, Shade asked for more details:
"Speaking of which, how many of the dead are there? Are they people I know?"
"The deceased is a person you just met more than an hour ago."
"Who?"
"Daniel Philippe. The eldest son of Marquis Philippe, the one who had a conflict with you at the door of the banquet hall."
In this way, without Shade's personal intervention, Larus III already had one less engagement partner for Agelina.
The murder occurred not in the banquet hall, but at the end of the long corridor where the banquet hall was located, in the room used to temporarily store gifts. The rooms in the Yodel Palace are generally very large. At this time, there were piles of gifts at the murder scene. When Shade entered the door, he saw Daniel Philip lying on the ground at a glance.
Just like when I saw him more than an hour ago, the young man was wearing a red Royal Army uniform and black boots. He lay prone on the carpet with obvious impact wounds on the back of his head. Next to the corpse, a blood-stained bronze swan statue was thrown away. This was also a gift brought by the guests. There was even a pink ribbon hanging around the swan's neck, but most of the ribbon was stained black with blood.
The servants and guests who knew about the incident were "resting" in the next room. Princess Agelina could not be with the corpse, so she also went to the next room. At this time, standing at the scene of the crime were the housekeeper of Yodel Palace, the royal attendant, Deputy Director Morris of MI6 who was responsible for the affairs of Yodel Palace, and Ridwich Field, who came in the same hurry as Shade. Senior Superintendent Mr. Johnson, as can be seen from the epaulettes with a crown and a star on his shoulders.
Among the people present, only Deputy Director Morris of MI6 knew that Shade was also from MI6. The others only knew that he was a well-known detective in Tobesk.
Therefore, before Shade arrived at the scene and prepared to start the investigation, the serious-looking senior superintendent asked a question:
"I'm sorry, Sir Hamilton, I'm not doubting you. But before the investigation, can you clearly explain your personal itinerary between seven o'clock and just before Her Majesty Agelina saw you?"
His suspicion is correct. After all, hundreds of people just saw the conflict between Shade and the deceased. Shade naturally couldn't say what he was doing just now, but fortunately Tifa took the initiative to speak:
"Hamilton was with Miss Carina just now."
She introduced her identity as a maid:
"They have been in the lounge upstairs. As for what they were doing, I'm sorry, this is the privacy of Miss and Mr. Hamilton."
People immediately expressed their understanding, and their doubts about Sha De were easily eliminated:
"Since it is the Duchess of Saradir who testified, Lord Hamilton is certainly not suspected. Then, please start the investigation."
People retreated to the wall, leaving Tifa behind Shade. Shade knelt down next to the body and put on white gloves to examine the body's wounds. Pretending to be so professional is because he has almost seen the "answer", and the next step is just to go through the process of finding the answer.
He hoped that he could go faster and not make Lecia and Dorothy wait too long. But at the same time, he was also curious about who killed Daniel Philip and helped him so much. If possible, Shade really wanted to hold the other person's hand and thank him, and then punch the other person in revenge for wasting the time of the Red Butterfly Day.
