Chapter 1201.1: The Secret
After the king found out about the drastic changes in the palace, his expression didn't change much. He had experienced all sorts of storms and waves in his life, so he had long developed the habit of hiding his emotions and anger.
Setting the glass down on the table, he picked up a napkin and began carefully wiping the wine from his hand.
— Iron Hand, if I leave this matter up to you, how long will it take you to solve this problem? The king asked as if there was no one around him but the Iron Hand, causing the banquet hall to fall dead silent. Although the officials and rich businessmen pricked up their ears, they all turned their backs on the king now, as no one wanted to incur his wrath.
— Three days, " Su Xiao replied. Heaven gave him three days to complete this mission, which is why he announced such a deadline..
If he didn't find the killer in three days, he would obviously be killed.
— "Very well, I will give you three days," said the king. He didn't say what would happen if Su Xiao didn't finish this case in three days. Some things were too obvious to be said out loud.
From the king's momentary lapse, it was obvious to everyone that the situation was out of his control. The fact that the little princess was killed in the palace garden was already something very strange, but her death could only be considered a provocation at best, but the death of her mother and the commander of the royal guard was already a real conspiracy.
Su Xiao walked out of the banquet hall with Bubtni and the five royal Guards. They were now only obeying Su Xiao's orders and would become his personal cannon fodder and thugs rolled into one for the next three days.
After leaving the banquet hall, Su Xiao pondered. Based on the current situation, in order to cover his tracks, the assassin was able to kill everyone present, except for Su Xiao, Bubtni, and the five royal Guards who came along with Su Xiao.
Karen committed suicide by slitting his own throat, while others died from the poison. According to the clues, the poison that killed the queen was identical to the one that killed all the guards who were supposed to protect the palace.
In other words, the queen and her subordinates didn't kill themselves, but someone eliminated them with a single poison.
The fact that the assassin chose to cover his tracks means that he couldn't stand up to the royal family, at least not on the palace grounds, so he decided to hide his head and cut off his tail.
But there was something about this case that Su Xiao still couldn't understand. The killer thought through absolutely everything, literally every little detail, just for the sake of killing Charlene Herbert?
What was it about her? In Su Xiao's opinion, there was nothing special about her, except that she had sex with a man at such an early age. Her physical fitness was no better than the most ordinary person, her appearance wasn't bad, but she didn't have a beauty that could impress anyone. As for her figure... what kind of figure could a 13 year old girl have?
She didn't have any special abilities and wasn't an important figure in this fight for the throne.
Su Xiao's thoughts raced endlessly, and in the end, he was surprised to find that he hadn't found any valuable information.
But he wasn't surprised. He didn't think that he would be able to find the killer with his thinking abilities. No one was perfect at everything.
Su Xiao didn't have outstanding thinking abilities, but he was an Iron Hand in the vast Saint Sodin Kingdom. This kingdom consisted of the territories of the five kingdoms. The kingdom's territory included very fertile land, so there were approximately 300 to 500 million people in the Saint Sodin Kingdom right now. As for the exact number, it was impossible to calculate the population with an accuracy of at least a thousand due to the current level of development of science and technology.
Given the technological level of the Shiite Continent, this amount of population was too huge, however, given the vast area of the Shiite continent, most of the territories were actually empty. In addition there was only the kingdom of Saint Sodin on the Shiite continent right now and there were no other kingdoms as such.
Even though there were hundreds of millions of people living in the kingdom of Saint Sodin, most of the territories were empty, so the royal family strongly opposed and strongly supported the birth of children. Although the kingdom was poorly developed in some aspects, other aspects were too well developed, because, for example, in order for all these 300-500 million people to live a full life, it was necessary to have very serious agricultural technologies.
