Chapter 516 The first appearance of the strange flowers
The one who died was a little surprised that it was the captain of the cavalry under Koeman.
This man's name is Miguel. He is an old subordinate who has been with Koeman for many years. He was there when Koeman "destroys his relatives for justice". Today, he is naturally one of the guards brought into the infield by Koeman.
Originally, Miguel just sat there expressionlessly, watching the performance absent-mindedly while alerting his Lord Lord.
But who knew that just as the performance was about to end, Miguel suddenly fell forward from his seat, turned over and fell into the "VIP area" not far ahead of him.
Of course, the Koeman family was not hit by Miguel who fell down, because they were sitting in a "special seat", so their seats were separated from the people around them, and only their seats were equipped with high backs.
Miguel rolled behind and lay straight on the ground less than two meters behind Koeman's seat.
At that time, because the performance was at the climax of the Airman, the audience was attracted by the actors on the stage, and the circus band also played the music very loudly, so even the other guards near Miguel did not immediately notice that their captain was no longer in their seats.
However, the father and son Koeman and Roy... both noticed the unusual sound behind him at the first moment; the two turned their heads almost at the same time, and walked around the back of the chair and glanced at Miguel on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Roy asked his father for his eyes. After Koeman nodded, he quickly stood up and walked around the back of the seat. While calling Miguel's name, he slowly leaned over and turned the latter over.
It happened to be at this moment that Madam Venaza, who had reacted several times slower than the two, also turned around and happened to see Miguel's bloody face at first glance.
So, the next second, Madame Venaza, who was so scared that she was so scared that she immediately screamed at the top of her throat.
Her scream immediately attracted the attention of many people around her, and then the audience also found Miguel's body.
Now, the scene was in a turmoil. One of the guards under the lord died. Who has the leisure to watch the performance?
Some people may think, should we watch the fun next?
wrong.
Watching the fun is based on the premise that the fire will not burn on yourself; if you are likely to lose your life as you watch, then you still have a fucking look?
At this moment, the people of Onesti Town, who have normal minds can settle the accounts, that is, "regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with me, I will be affected if I stay here. If I am not lucky, I will catch up with the Lord, "I would rather kill the wrong person than let go." Who would I go to reason with?"
Therefore, after a brief clamor, the audience scattered and began to flee to the tent one after another.
Some of them rushed to the entrance, while others simply climbed under the stands and climbed out along the gap at the bottom edge of the tent. The scene was so chaotic.
For a moment, both inside and outside the tent, whether it was Koman's cavalry or the circus security, were a little at a loss by the scattered crowd.
In this case, it is naturally meaningless to block. If you really block it, it will lead to unnecessary casualties. It is better to let the crowd run away.
However, if the audience can run, the circus people can’t run away.
Sun Huang and the others who rushed out of the backstage saw this situation and thought it was broken... Koeman must have an explanation for this matter today.
Who told this man not to die sooner or later, to die here and there, to die in the stands during your circus performance?
"Hey! Sun, Huang, what should I do?" The old Feng came to Shuangxie in two steps, lowered his voice, "Based on my understanding of these nobles, they might arrest all of us next. Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with us, we will arrest us first and torture and then talk about it."
Lao Feng's perception is obviously correct.
Even though Koeman was relatively alike among the nobles at that time, it can be seen from the reactions of the townspeople... he was not as good as a child.
It is very likely that Koeman would really take the method that Lao Feng said, at most, he would try not to kill people when he was tortured.
"Don't panic!" But Sun Yixi's heart was in this blink of an eye and had already settled another account, "Don't forget that at this moment, there are still many people..."
"Ah?" Old Feng was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly lowered his face, "Do you mean..." He immediately made a neck wiping action.
"Oh~ there's no need..." Sun Yixie waved his hand quickly, "We have a saying, "First rituals and then troops."
"That is to say..." Huang Donglai took Sun Yixie's words and continued, "Let's go over and negotiate with him first, and hint in his words that he is 'our stronger at this moment', and then see if he can stabilize the matter and solve it in a peaceful way. If it's really not possible... it's not too late to do it again."
"Oh..." Old Feng nodded, feeling that this was reasonable.
He thought for a few seconds and asked again, "Then...you two can go there?"
"It is not appropriate for us to go there directly. After all, you are the 'group leader'. You have to take us with you, and then we will find an opportunity to talk to him." Sun Yixie said.
"Okay, okay." Lao Feng is obviously obeying these two "wise generals".
The three of them did it as soon as they said this. After saying these words, they headed towards the "VIP seat" together.
Then they were stopped by several guards without any surprises.
At this moment, half of the cavalry left outside the tent by Koeman, as well as the members of the Rangers who were responsible for security outside the tent, also entered the tent; but the latter was still talking about the situation on the stage, while the former had quickly restored order under Roy's command, and gathered around Koeman's family to protect them.
"Let them come over." Seeing the blocked Lao Feng and Shuangxie, Koman also understood that the three of them wanted to come over and say something, so he ordered the guard to let go.
A few seconds later, the three of them finally succeeded in coming to Koman, pretending to be respectful and saluted Koman.
"Great Lord, please let me say a few words..." Old Feng showed a grievance, wanting to try whether it is useful to sell a miserable costume.
"You must want to say that the death of my subordinates has nothing to do with you, right?" Koeman seemed calm at the moment, and his tone was still the same condescending.
Old Feng also went up and immediately continued: "Oh! Master wise! You are so wise... I believe you know that it is impossible for us to know this unfortunate soldier when we first came to the precious land of the circus. In fact, I don't know how he died..."
"He was poisoned to death." Koeman said with confidence, because he had just looked at Miguel's body and found no obvious trauma. He also knew that the death of blood from the seven orifices was usually caused by more complex poisons. "Does this remind you of anything?"
"This..." Lao Feng was speechless when asked.
People who are sad about it understand that "open-ended questions" like this are usually traps. No matter how you answer the other party, you will have a way to follow the words and find fault with you.
"Lord, please allow me to answer this question." Fortunately, Huang Donglai interrupted and helped Lao Feng get rid of the siege.
Since the beginning, Koeman has been concerned about why the leader of the circus had to come with two clowns. He thought to himself, were the two clowns the deputy leader of the circus?
At this moment, when he saw Huang Donglai dared to answer his words, and his expression and tone were calm, he realized that this clown was indeed not simple, so he did not say anything about the other party's impolite behavior, but just responded in a slight tone: "Who is talking to me?"
"Low... Huang Donglai is an expert on poison and hidden weapons from the Eastern Kingdom." Huang Donglai's answer was undoubtedly quite explosive.
Roy and the other guards, standing beside Koeman, immediately changed their expressions after hearing this.
Even Tyrel and other members of the Rangers who were standing in the distance were sweating coldly because of his words.
Can this be said?
Can it be said under this situation?
Alas ~ It turns out that it is OK.
After a brief shock, Koeman quickly regained his calmness and asked in a deep voice: "Are you brave enough? How dare you reveal your identity at such a time?"
"Nothing can win your trust better than telling the truth, right?" Huang Donglai's answer was also very sleek.
Obviously, these two people had already settled the accounts in their hearts.
From Huang Donglai's perspective, he understood that the clown makeup he and Sun Yixie's transformation into was able to get away with before because they were a distance between them and the audience during the performance, and they were moving all the time; but at this moment, they were close to Koeman and stood still and spoke. It would be a matter of time before they could see through it; instead of waiting for the other party to see through it, it would be more credible.
From Koeman's perspective, he is actually a little weak...
As a person with good abilities, of course he had long realized that the circus had more people than the guards he brought. Moreover, these people were not civilians who were unorganized, without training or weapons, but a "group" with certain combat power... After a while, the knights who were only wearing light clothes on him might not be able to win.
To take a step back, even if you can win, the losses will not be small, and maybe even the three of them will suffer casualties.
Therefore, when he saw Lao Feng bringing two people over, he also hoped to stabilize the other party first.
As long as he can get out tonight, then return to the castle and bring a large group of troops to fight over with full armed forces, he can settle the score anyway.
I'll see the wrong version one by one!
But he didn't expect that Huang Donglai, a man who claimed to be a big visitor, would suddenly appear, which made the situation a little beyond his imagination.
"So, what do you want to tell me about the death of my subordinates?" Coman thought for a moment, then brought the topic back.
"If he was really poisoned, I can try to help you test when he was poisoned and what poison he was probably. This should also be helpful for you to track down the truth." Huang Dong replied.
"Oh?" Koeman raised his eyebrows, "How to test it?"
"Just allow me to check the body." Huang Donglai replied.
Koeman hesitated for a moment: "How can I know if you really know how to test it, or are you going to go over and make up a lie to make up a lie to swear me?" He paused, "Or what if you are the murderer or the murderer's accomplice, take this opportunity to destroy the evidence?"
"Haha..." This question hit Huang Donglai's thoughts, "It's actually very simple to prove that his death has nothing to do with me."
"How do you say this?" Coman continued.
"Wait," Huang Dong said, then turned around and shouted from the stands at the people on the stage in the distance, "Teril! Can you lift the candlestick beside you?"
Tyrel was stunned for a second when he heard the shout, then looked at himself and raised a candlestick on the table: "Is this the case?"
puff--
The next second, a burning candle on the candlestick broke.
And it is broken silently.
What broke the candle was just a small piece of broken wood on the stand guardrail.
"Okay, it's okay." Huang Donglai shouted, turned around and said to Koeman and others with a shocked look on his face, "As you can see, if I want to kill your subordinate, I have a more direct and easy way... and I will not let his death happen during the performance... For example, if I hide in the dark and use a small stone to quietly make a hole in someone's head or neck while you are walking at night, who can stop or discover me?"
If the "blind-eyed flying knife" in the circus performance was shocking in Koeman's eyes, then what Huang Donglai showed now belongs to the category of "oriental witchcraft" in Koeman's eyes.
But in any case, Huang Donglaixiu's move did temporarily dispel Koeman's suspicion of him from the underlying logic of the murder.
"Well..." Koeman adjusted his expression and said, "It seems that your title of "Poison and Hidden Weapon Expert" is indeed worthy of his reputation." He even spoke a little politely, "Then... since you know how to test it, go and check it for me."
"As for orders, Lord Lord." Huang Donglai was also pretending to be polite to the other party, and he was selling face to him in front of Koman's subordinates.
After saying that, Huang Donglai gently pushed Sun Yixie with his elbow twice, instructing him to follow him.
Then the two of them came to Miguel's body, squatted down to check it out in a pretentious manner, and whispered.
"Hey, you can really have a mortal examination?" Sun Yixie whispered.
"If you test a hammer, is it still necessary to test it? Anyone can tell that it was poisoned to death." Huang Donglai said.
"Then what are you going to say to Koeman later?" Sun Yixiu said.
"I just said he ate some poisonous thing a few hours ago. Isn't it enough to get poison just now?" Huang Donglai said, "Next, let them go back to the castle to check on the inner demons. It has nothing to do with us."
"Well... it makes sense." Sun Yixie thought for a while, "unless he has not been in water all day today and someone can testify to him at all times, they will not be able to prove your remarks."
While discussing, the two of them fiddled with Miguel's body seriously, and wanted to act like this and then go to work on the job.
But unexpectedly...
"Hey? Damn!"
It would be fine if you don’t fiddle with it, but you can just move it, it’s not right!
At this moment, Sun Yixi's little eyes almost instinctively swept into Miguel's unbuttoned collar, and then unexpectedly discovered... there was a strange color in the other person's heart.
Then he pulled open the deceased's clothes to check, and then he saw that a bright rose bloomed on the left chest of the deceased, which is near the heart.
Only the buds bloomed outside the flower. The part under the stems was buried under the skin of the deceased. At this moment, through the skin of the deceased, you can see thick purple-black blood vessels spreading like a spider web under the skin with the buds as the center.
"Damn it's broken..." After seeing this scene, Huang Dong sighed immediately, "There is really something that is under our jurisdiction."
"Hmph..." Sun Yixie snorted coldly, "Let you test it, 'test the flowers' are here? What are you going to say now? The murderer is the seed of the Miaofrog?"
He was complaining here, but there was another scream next to him.
It turned out that it was Mrs. Venaza who had been sitting in a seat a few meters away and fanned her with a fan. At this moment, she finally recovered, so she wanted to get up and walk over to say a few words to Koman. As a result, she only took two steps and glanced at the buds exposed on the corpse, which was shocked again.
After hearing the scream, Koeman and Roy both came over to see it.
"How is that possible... When I checked it not long ago, he had no injuries in his chest..." Seeing this, Koeman almost blurted out and said this.
"I know a possibility." At this time, Lao Feng, who had not spoken for a long time, answered his words. "If I remember correctly, I have read similar records in a log. This poison called "red kiss" is said to be invented by an alchemist during the Battle of Mohaci more than a hundred years ago... It is a cursed formula."
At this moment, Old Feng stopped pretending to be servile, but instead changed into his usual calm expression.
Chapter completed!
