It was quiet all morning...but just before noon, Guilford, a guardian knight of Cornelia, walked into the living room with a stack of documents in his hand.

"Good day, Your Highness, Princess." As soon as Gilford stepped into the room, he leaned over and saluted Cornelia, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely sipping black tea.

"I have told you so many times that you don't need to be so polite, Mr. Guilford." Cornelia saw Guilford's actions, her two slender eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she said helplessly.

"This is etiquette, Your Highness Princess." Gilford lowered his head and said, then without waiting for Cornelia to speak, he took a few steps forward and handed the information in his hand to Cornelia and said, "This is what you asked for about seven years."

Investigation data on the death of Princess Mariana half a year ago."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Guilford." Cornelia reached out and took the information and thanked her.

"Your Highness is serious." Guilford replied in fear, then turned around and stood aside quietly.

"The information you want." Cornelia turned around and handed the information in her hand to Ito Cheng who was surfing the Internet at the side.

"Aren't you slow?" Ito Cheng stopped what he was doing, raised his head and reached out to take the information handed over by Cornelia and joked, then lowered his head and started reading.

"Maybe I can't wait any longer." Cornelia lowered her head and took a sip of the black tea in her hand.

"It's understandable." After hearing this, Ito Cheng replied without raising his head. Then he continued to carefully check the information in his hand, describing the terrain, characters, guards' confessions, unrelated persons, etc. in the information, and the investigators reported,

I browsed through all the information including conclusions, analysis, deductions, etc. After a while, I raised my head and said to Cornelia, "It seems that I can only go to the site to take a look."

"What?" Cornelia asked in confusion after hearing this.

"When I looked into the application, I wrote a lot, but actually I didn't write anything. Apart from letting me understand the layout of the palace (Aries Palace), the state of the body at that time, the time and manner of Mariana's death, there was nothing useful.

None. It's just a cover-up external report." Ito Cheng threw the information book on the table in front of him, reached out and patted the surface of the information book and said.

"But what clues can you find if you go to the Palace of Departures? After all, seven and a half years have passed. Even if the Palace of Departures has been sealed off since the assassination, it won't be of any help to you." Gilfoy, who is a guardian knight at the side.

De naturally knew that Cornelia had always been brooding about the assassination of Princess Mariana. She had made great efforts to investigate, and even went to the palace several times to conduct on-site investigations, but she never got any clues.

, so I instinctively retorted to Ito Shige’s proposal.

"How do you know I can't find any clues?" Ito Cheng looked at Gilford standing behind Cornelia with interest and asked.

"This..." Gilford was asked by Ito Cheng. He was speechless for a long time. After all, he had been in contact with Ito Cheng for half a year, and he still knew something about Ito Cheng's mystery, so Gilford still

I really can't find a reason to refute it, what if someone can do it?

"Okay." Cornelia saw her knight's embarrassment and said, "Then we will go to the palace in the afternoon."

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded indifferently and continued to wander around the Internet. Unfortunately, Japan in this world has become District 11, so Ito Cheng couldn't find any traces of anime or AV after browsing all morning.

Finally, I found a lot of animations and movies produced in Britannia, but because I felt unaccustomed to the taste, I gave up searching in this area and started playing games instead. Fortunately, the games in this world

The production is very good. It is completely different from the domestic kimchi games and Japanese kawaii games. It can be played very happily.

In the afternoon, Ito Cheng, who put on a knight uniform prepared by Cornelia, drove to the palace with Cornelia and Gilford...

"We're here." In less than half an hour, the three of them arrived in front of an ancient castle that was more than ten meters high on all sides, with a Chinese-style parapet on the top and a white wall protecting the outer walls. After passing by

After a brief inspection by the guard at the door, I walked into the palace compound within the wall.

The three of them had a clear purpose, so they did not stop in the front yard of the palace. They bypassed the huge meeting hall, walked into the fork on the side, and walked straight to one of the ancient castles behind the palace.

The three of them walked forward, and after passing through two palaces and three gardens, they finally arrived at the palace in the south of the backyard of the palace.

"This is it." Cornelia stood in front of the palace and said with a complicated expression.

"Your Highness, Princess." Guilford looked at Cornelia's expression and called softly with concern.

"It's okay, let's go in." Cornelia immediately regained her composure when Guilford called her. She led Ito Cheng to the closed palace door, opened it and walked in.

I saw a room paved with yellow marble, with dozens of yellow support columns in the style of a Mediterranean temple erected on both sides of the palace. The ceiling was a semicircle like an Islamic church, with European-style landscapes and figures painted on it.

At the innermost end of the palace is a screen wall with paintings of ancient Greek men fighting beasts. The front end of the screen wall is a slightly larger platform, which connects dozens of steps leading to the palace ground.

"How long does it take for someone to clean here?" Ito Cheng glanced at the environment in the palace and asked.

"Yes, there will be maids responsible for cleaning at fixed times every day." Cornelia nodded.

"Oh." Ito Cheng nodded, walked step by step to the place where Mariana lay when she died, turned to look at Cornelia and said, "I remember that the place where Princess Mariana died was written in the document, right?

, face down and lying on the ground with her hands spread out. The report says that she was protecting Her Highness Nunnally, right?"

"Yes." Cornelia nodded and said.

Then Ito Cheng pointed to the dark passage leading to nowhere on the left side of the screen wall and said, "Is that the passage leading to the back palace?"

"Yes." Cornelia glanced at the direction Ito pointed in and confirmed.

Then Ito Cheng stepped on the steps, walked up a few steps, and finally stopped at a position and asked, "Is it reported that Mariana was standing here before she died?"

"Yes." Cornelia frowned and looked at Ito Cheng, not understanding what he was going to do.

"Do you still remember the description of the bullet that was shot into Princess Mariana's body in the report?" Ito Cheng stood there and asked.

"It was injected into Princess Mariana's body at an oblique angle of nearly 45 degrees, directly penetrating the liver and lungs, destroying the main arteries of the liver, causing large-scale internal bleeding..." Cornelia recalled a little.

"Okay." Ito Cheng waved his hand to interrupt Cornelia's description and asked, "How much do you think it is from the angle from where I stand to the ground."

"Huh?" Cornelia's eyebrows twitched, she observed carefully, and finally said in a deep voice, "If you look away, it's more than thirty degrees."

Obviously Cornelia also thought of the problem at this time, and with her wisdom, she could easily think of something.

"Assuming that the assassin is an adult about 1.8 meters tall, how high can he be at the angle at which he can shoot Princess Mariana based on the height of his gun?" But before Cornelia could continue thinking, Ito Cheng

Then he asked again.

"Less than ten degrees." Cornelia said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

"You forgot the retreat distance." Ito Cheng reminded.

"It won't be more than fifteen degrees." Cornelia said.

"Then what kind of posture do you think an assassin needs to shoot a bullet close to 45 degrees?" Ito Cheng mocked.

"Half-squatting on the ground." Cornelia said, and then Cornelia raised her head and stared at Ito and said, "Do you mean that Princess Mariana was attacked by someone while accepting their allegiance?"

"What if the murderer is a short dwarf or a child?" Ito Cheng stretched out his finger and shook it.

"Children and dwarfs!?" Gilford exclaimed, "Except for the late Princess Nunnally, the children in this palace at that time were the current Sixth Knight of the Round Table, Lady Ania. You mean they were the murderers!"

"Impossible." Cornelia immediately retorted after hearing this, "Nunnally had no reason to kill her mother, Princess Mariana, not to mention that she was not yet seven years old at the time, and Knight Ania was just a young woman at that time.

It’s not long since I entered Aries and I have no motive at all.”

"I didn't say that the two of them were the murderers, I just stated my speculation." Ito Cheng said, and then continued the analysis, "Princess Mariana should have been talking to each other at the time. The content was quite secretive.

It can be easily inferred from the guard mobilization you mentioned. However, Princess Mariana did not expect that the other party would suddenly attack. This can be inferred from the blood stains where I was standing in the investigation report, and then the sudden attack of Her Highness Nunnally

Appeared, the other party was obviously distracted by her appearance, giving Princess Mariana the opportunity to rush in front of Her Highness Nunnally, and was killed by the opponent's silencer bullet. As for why the other party didn't kill Na in the end.

Your Highness Nali, this is unknown."

"Who is a child or a short dwarf, has a ruthless character, can freely enter and leave the palace without being interrogated, and knows Princess Mariana? Maybe this person is also familiar with His Majesty the Emperor, so familiar that even His Majesty the Emperor

If you know that person can kill Princess Mariana and nothing will happen to you, then that person is the murderer." Ito Cheng concluded.

"Why do you say you are familiar with His Majesty the Emperor?" Guilford asked doubtfully.

"Since I can deduce this from the problem of bullets, there is no reason why the guys in the imperial intelligence department don't even have this ability. Since they have the ability, why not write the report truthfully? You must know that the emperor was the emperor at the time.

Concerned." Ito Cheng asked rhetorically.

"Who is he?" Cornelia frowned and whispered to herself.

Ito Cheng looked at Cornelia's appearance, smiled silently, then spread out his mental power and began to explore deep underground... (To be continued...)
