Although the banquet was held in the Tower of the Moon, all the guest rooms arranged by the Izeruma family were in the Tower of the Sun.
After Li Xiang and Enolai negotiated the deal, they returned to the Tower of the Sun with Astarte.
The distance between towers is only ten minutes.
Maybe it's the lake area, there's fog everywhere.
When Li Xiang saw the portrait on Ta's body, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Too ugly.
So some art is really incomprehensible.
Li Xiang glanced at the night. According to the plot of the original work, the Golden Princess at this time should have gone to Lenis to discuss the elopement.
Ahem, no, it's because I changed my family and tried to escape.
But the drunkard's intention is not to drink, they are framing him.
The Yang Tower has three floors.
Li Xiang and Astarte's rooms happened to be next to each other.
But he didn't know which room Lenise and Gray lived in.
"Sister, let me ask you something."
Li Xiang poured Astarte a cup of black tea and asked, "As the Legal Affairs Section, are we able to intervene whenever a murder case involving a magician occurs?"
"nature."
Astati blew the black tea and said, "Even the other monarchs can be managed by our Legal Affairs Department. In other words, it has to be managed by us. In murder cases involving both parties, there must be a fair third party. Otherwise,
It is difficult to come up with a result of the investigation, and it will not satisfy both parties."
"This is true."
Li Xiang nodded in agreement.
It seems that the banner of the Legal Affairs Department is indeed quite useful.
"Junior brother, do you think something will happen here?"
Astarte drank some black tea and asked.
"The possibility is very high. The beauty of the two princesses is already the best in the world. When it comes to the root cause, someone might take the risk."
Li Xiang thought for a moment and then added, "And many people already know about Bai Long's purchase of Bodhi leaves. There may also be bold magicians who take risks for the Bodhi leaf collar."
"The best in the world?"
Astati put down the black tea and asked calmly, "Junior brother, do you think they are prettier than me?"
"...?"
Li Xiang froze.
What's going on with this topic?
It turned so fast that he didn't even react.
This is not the way to kindergarten at all.
"No matter how beautiful they are, they are still fake."
Li Xiang considered his words and said, "It is definitely not as good as my senior sister's natural beauty."
Astati smiled with a tense expression. She drank the black tea and said: "Good night, see you tomorrow. If there is really a murder, you can bring it out of the Legal Affairs Department. Even if you are a monarch, you don't have to care."
Although Li Xiang has never met Lord Bartholomew, he feels that his senior sister is more domineering.
Simply fearless.
Morning.
Li Xiang and Astarte were having breakfast when they heard the news of the death of the Golden Princess.
"Junior brother, you really guessed it right."
Astarte stuffed all the remaining bread into his mouth, which bulged like a squirrel.
Li Xiang didn't do this. He put down the bread and said, "Let's go take a look."
The Golden Princess lives on the third floor of the Moon Tower.
A lot of people had already gathered before the two arrived.
Li Xiang couldn't help but frown when he saw the scene on the bed.
The whole body of the Golden Princess was cut into pieces, and her head was placed in the center.
Paired with the white bed sheets, it looks like a beautiful and beautiful rose in full bloom.
This scene is indescribably tragic.
"Miss Tiadra..."
A sloppily dressed young man with a pale face knelt down beside the bed, looking lost and lost.
"He is Maio, the pharmacist of the inheritance department. He made all the elixirs needed for the two princesses' magic."
Astarte looked at it and said as if he had appraisal skills.
The Golden Princess and the Silver Princess are artificial humans.
Their beauty is not innate.
Using magic to transform the body is a commonly used method in many schools.
But it is rare for them to achieve this level.
Of course there are also technical reasons.
The technology to create the Golden Princess and the Silver Princess can only be possessed by truly famous magic families, those families that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years.
For example, the Matou family's method is too rough.
In the original work, Kiri Zouken uses his insect magic and elixir to transform Sakura Matou, who has been adopted into his family.
Changed her virtual attribute to water attribute in order to better inherit the Matou family's magic.
But in terms of accuracy, it is far inferior to the Golden Princess and Silver Princess.
Not only were their bodies transformed, but their clothing, lifestyle, and even walking postures all strictly followed the magic formula of the Izeruma family.
In other words, the two of them live in this lake area and are in a huge magic circuit.
Soon, another magician knelt down beside the bed.
His hairstyle is extremely unique, with a large number of ponytails, like a piece of textile.
Costume designer.
Li Xiang could guess his identity without Astarte's introduction.
You may also work part-time as a stylist.
After all, clothing is also a form of styling.
And unlike Maio, he said with a look of regret: "My clothes have been ruined like this..."
Bailon and Princess Silver came together.
The crutch fell to the ground.
Bailon's body was shaking and he looked in disbelief, as if he had learned the news of the destruction of the world.
"Tiadra...no! How could this be possible?!"
The Silver Princess next to him wore a veil, and her expression could not be seen.
Finally came the arrival of Inolai and Aozaki Orange.
"There was a murder. So everyone who was called here is suspected."
Aozaki Orange held down her crimson hair and asked, "But what's the point of doing this?"
If you covet the beauty that can reach the root, there is no reason to kill the golden princess.
After all, even if the Twelve Monarchs were to create another one, it would still take more than ten years.
It's not worth it for too long.
"Tell me about the specific situation."
Enola looked at the body of the Golden Princess and sighed, "What a beautiful work of art."
Bailon came back to his senses and said: "Sir Inolai, Tiadra's room is equipped with a magic lock, which can only be opened with a specific magic spell."
"Is it still a locked room murder case?"
Enolai said thoughtfully, "Although the magic lock is strong, there are many people present who can open it, such as the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid."
Lenis raised her head suddenly and tried her best to calmly say: "I have no reason to kill Tiadra."
Bailon looked at her, picked up the crutch on the ground, knocked it, and said, "I'll give you a reason."
Walking in from the door were the twin maids who had served the two princesses since childhood.
Lenis' face suddenly turned pale, and she realized that she had been framed.
"I'm Karina."
One of the maids said, "Princess Thiadra and I went to Miss Lenise's room yesterday, and we haven't seen anyone else since."
"In other words, Miss Lenis was the last person Tiadra saw before she died."
Bailon leaned on crutches to conclude, and then asked, "What did you talk about?"
"Miss Tiadella hopes that the El-Melloi family will take her in."
Karina took a deep breath and said.
Bailon's face was gloomy, he looked at Lenis and asked, "Do you have anything else to explain?"
"Miss Tiadra did talk to me about this, but I have clearly refused."
Lenis knew she could not remain silent at this time.
The more silent you are, the more suspicious you become.
"Since you refused, why did you come to Tiadra's room first this morning?"
Bailon asked again immediately.
Lenis felt cold in her heart.
She suddenly realized that Bailon had done it.
After she refused last night, Tiadra said she had a reward enough to make her change her mind and ask her to meet her in the morning.
But Bailon's investigation was too clear.
She found out that Tiadra was dead and asked Gray to notify her, which took no more than half an hour.
He has actually finished interrogating Karina.
In other words, they grasped the situation before entering the room.
"No matter what, you are the biggest suspect."
Bailon did not give her too much time to answer, and then said, "Next, you two will be restricted to the Izeruma family until the truth is revealed."
"etc."
Li Xiang stood between the two people, "This matter should be handled by our Legal Affairs Department, and they should also be under our care."
"What do you mean?"
Bailon's tone was cold and he said, "The person who died was the highest masterpiece of my Izeruma family. There is no way that these two people can be left to you!"
"What I mean is simple."
Li Xiang didn't care about his attitude, "As the monarch said, the magicians present have many ways to open the magic lock. Why do you conclude that it was the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid that did it? Who can open the magic lock silently? On the contrary,
It must be the head of the Bailong family."
"You are so slanderous!"
Bailon said angrily, "The reputation of our Yizeluma family is not something you can tarnish!"
"Don't be so excited, I'm just giving you an example."
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Master Bailong, why do you look so guilty? Besides, you don't believe in the Legal Affairs Department?"
"you!"
Bailong was speechless for a moment.
Will you risk your life if you dare to openly say that you don't trust the Legal Affairs Department in the Clock Tower?
"Of course there will be no problem with the Legal Affairs Department."
Enolai spoke in time, "I'll leave this matter to you, but you can't leave the Twin Towers until the investigation is clear."
For her, selling to her partners is a matter of course.
The ultimate beauty she expected had almost failed.
Bailon hesitated to speak, and finally could only nod.
"This is natural."
Li Xiang replied.
After Inolai agreed, the other magicians who were watching left one after another.
In the end, only the four of them were left.
"Thanks."
Lenis lost her temper and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Just now, I was jumping repeatedly on the edge of death.
Once the charges are proven, the El-Melloi family will surely perish.
Li Xiang glanced at Gray.
He had previously sensed the terrifying edge under her sleeves.
That's the holy spear.
If it is released, it will definitely be no problem to carve out a bloody path.
But it will be difficult for the El-Melloi family to gain a foothold in the Clock Tower.
"This is originally a matter of our Legal Affairs Department. Without further ado, let's see if there are any clues at the scene."
Li Xiang replied.
"Trimmau, collect the body parts."
After Lenis nodded, she immediately commanded the mercury maid behind her.
Trimmau is the name of the Moon Spirit Essence.
There was blood all over the bed.
She is indeed difficult to deal with.
"The body was dismembered so thoroughly that even the murder weapon could not be determined."
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes and said.
"So Lenis is the most suspicious."
Astarte crossed his arms and said, "Trimmau can transform into various weapons."
"This is undoubtedly a conspiracy against me."
Lenis looked confused, "But what's the point?"
Although Izeruma is a separate family, it is still superior to the El-Melloi family in terms of power.
Neither family celebrated the holidays.
There is no reason to deal with her.
And the behavior of the Golden Princess is also very unusual.
The monarch of the Legal Affairs Department, Bartholomew, is the leader of the noble faction. Why not go to Astarte instead of looking for the fallen monarch?
After all, it is a major event to change factions.
"Take your time."
Li Xiang stared at Tiyadra's head with a thoughtful look on his face.
Lenis and Gray began to explore the furnishings in the room.
"Why no mirror?"
Lenis said to herself, "You have such a beautiful face, but don't you like looking in the mirror?"
Hearing this, Gray pulled up the brim of his hat, his face even deeper into the shadows.
She might understand.
It's because I hate it.
She hates her own face and doesn't want to see it.
"It means she doesn't like this face."
Li Xiang said in a deep voice, "Everyone has a love for beauty. No matter what they look like, there are more or less mirrors, cosmetics and other things in the room, unless she extremely hates this kind of artificial face. But it is understandable.
She may not be able to accept it in her heart to face a face that is not her own."
Gray subconsciously tightened her clothes.
She lowered her head.
Astarte reached out and patted her head.
When Li Xiang saw this scene, he remembered that Gray's situation was very similar to Tiadra's.
Her face has also been transformed by magic, and it looks like Arturia.
If Weber takes part in the Fifth Holy Grail War as he wishes, Gray will definitely go with him.
I wonder how Artoria feels about this face?
Looking back on her life, the biggest influence was naturally her sister Morgan Le Fay.
Gray is Sister Wang's masterpiece.
"Miss Tiadra told me last night the reason for her defection."
Lenis took two steps back and forth and said, "It's because the Izeruma family's magic has come to a standstill, and Bailon wants to use more dangerous and radical methods. Tiyadra believes that if this continues, they will definitely die.
."
“Very reasonable.”
Li Xiang said casually.
"Owner."
The mercury maid took two steps back and said, "It has been placed."
The corpse on the bed returned to its human form.
The joints of flesh and blood are filled with mercury.
"All the body parts are there."
Lenis sighed and said, "If we are in the clock tower, we can ask a magician who is good at necromantic magic to take action. I believe the truth will be clear soon."
"Do you think she seems different from the golden princess at the banquet?"
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes and asked.
"no the same?"
Lenis looked at the corpse carefully. Although the smell of blood filled the air, the beauty of the Golden Princess remained undiminished.
"Did the magic disappear?"
she asked again.
Although Tiadra herself is extremely beautiful, if she wants to create the effect at the banquet, she must cooperate with the magic markings and magic circuits in her body.
But now that the magic seal has been recovered by Bailon, and the magic circuit has been cut off due to dismemberment, there is naturally no magic power.
"no."
Li Xiang shook his head.
He was not affected by magic at the banquet, so he could better appreciate the difference of this Tiadra.
"They are two people."
Astarte explained, "The Tiadra at the banquet was obviously more beautiful, and the one who died was slightly worse."
"Yes, that's what I mean too."
Li Xiang nodded in agreement.
Lenis looked confused and asked: "What on earth is going on?"
