After listening to Meloyd's description, Klose also felt a little unbelievable.

If the assassin in the shadows can kill the person Meloyd is following, either he has a spy by his side, or the killer knows Meloyd! Knowing that she was following behind.

As a result, the clues of the two things he was pursuing were broken in the middle, which made Klose really unhappy.

But before he could think about it, Meloyd continued: "I have just met with Jimmy and exchanged information. Master, I found something that I was more concerned about. ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

"Because the person who killed my target was also a tactical dagger produced by our Demon Forest. Head! So I doubt .... The same people who assassinated you were the same people who took down the cult that tracked your target! ”

"Shhhh

Klose couldn't help but gasp, feeling that these people who play conspiracy really spare no effort!

The mastermind behind this is probably not low in IQ, and he also has a group of subordinates who are loyal to him.

But who is it? According to Meloyd and Jimmy's speculation, there must be an enemy around him! So who is Neiying?

Klose frowned, he felt as if an invisible net was facing him under this seemingly peaceful and prosperous world. And this network should have been in operation for several years, but it was only launched at this time.

"These bastards.... What are their plans? Is it to overthrow the regime of the Black Raven? Are they too confident in themselves? Or is it just to kill me and cause chaos? ”

Klose was not very good at these intrigues in the first place, and the increasingly complex assassin incident made his head as big as a fight, and he was about to pull out his hair.

At this time, Ken Ken, who had been standing next to him without speaking, suddenly asked weakly: "That... Master, I don't think this matter is as difficult to investigate as it seems on the surface. ”

"Huh? Do you know what's going on just by listening to us talk a few times? ”

Klose and Meloyd both looked at the minotaur curiously, while the young minotaur organized his words a little and said, "Based on the conversation between Master and Master, as well as some rumors I heard in the castle, it should be related to the shooting in the harbor a few days ago?" If I'm not mistaken, someone should have tried to assassinate the master, but after the failure, the assassin suspect you tracked down was also killed, right? ”

Klose's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the Minotaur.

In his impression, this kind of powerful race is a strength player, good at fighting. Unexpectedly, the apprentice he just accepted was still an intellectual type.

"Yes, Ken~! Just from our conversations and comments, you can guess the general context! So what do you think about this? ”

Ken continued: "In fact, the master and the master may be fans of the authorities, and I, an outsider, look at this matter from another angle, and I feel that it is not so complicated. First of all, Master, your headache now is who the killer is, and who will kill the killer, and you will check down this line. But once the killer is killed, and you don't find the person who killed the mouth, it's hard to proceed. And I just heard from Shi Niang, it seems that another case is also related to this group of people, so it will be easier to handle. In fact, have you ever thought about reverse speculation in a different way? For example, master, if you are successfully assassinated, who will be the happiest? Who will benefit the most? ”

Klose and Meloyd glanced at each other and saw that there was some truth in what the minotaur had said!

Sure enough, it's a fan of the authorities! If you look at things from a different perspective, you will immediately find something different.

Klose opened the study door and shouted outside, "Go get Jimmy at once!" ”

The guards outside the door quickly called the little mouse Jimmy into the study. The four of them sat around their desks and listened to the Minotaur Ken speak his mind.

As soon as Klose told Jimmy about the Minotaur's guess, the little mouse thought clearly, and his face was just a little surprised! When he looked at the minotaur again, he had a sense of immediacy as if he had discovered a treasure.

"King! This minotaur boy is right, we can reverse the speculation and narrow down the target! ”

Klose touched his chin and said with some shame, "But... When it comes to who wants to kill me, isn't that a lot of people? First of all, like the Holy See, the previous Holy King, the Viper Family, the Octopus Pirate King, and I think the royal family before Bankaz, except for my sister and brother-in-law, should all want me to die. ”

The minotaur Ken used the teacups on the table to place them in several directions, and said, "Then let's start with these forces first." First of all, the Holy See has been completely defeated by the master in that great war, and the remnants of the forces have almost been uprooted, and it is believed that even if there are hidden stakes hidden in the shadows, it is impossible to reach this level. So I think the Holy See can be the first to be excluded. ”

After speaking, the minotaur sat a cup representing the "Holy See" aside.

"The second, the whereabouts of the Holy King..."

Seeing the Minotaur's inquiring gaze, Klose shrugged his shoulders and said, "The Holy King is now doing hard labor on a small island in the Solo Sea, right?" I don't know exactly either. ”

The minotaur nodded and said, "Then the option of the Holy King can also be eliminated temporarily." Next, I think the last three forces are the ones who are most likely to do something unfavorable to the master. The king of the Viper family, the remnants of the Octopus, and the remnants of Bankaz. But whether it is the remnants of Bankaz, the Viper King, or the Octopus Pirates, they are all a little too busy to take care of themselves, and their strength is too weak. The octopus, in particular, had been torn apart since the disappearance of their leader. I don't think any of the three of them can do anything to assassinate the master. ”

Klose wondered again: "But you've eliminated all this, who will it be?" ”

The Minotaur continued: "Master, I mean that this matter is most likely not done by one family, but by the combination of two or more forces. ”

"This...."

Before Klose could react, Jimmy, the little mouse, slammed the table, startling Klose.

"King! The Minotaur boy was right! Why didn't we think of it? There is a good chance that this is not the work of one family! Each of them contributed a little effort, provided a little intelligence and clues, and combined it was the assassination operation that was carried out a few days ago! In this way, if we want to follow a line downward, it is difficult to find out who is behind the scenes. And the sect that has only emerged in recent years is likely to have something to do with it! As long as the mastermind behind the Holy Worm Sect is caught, I believe that the identity of the assassin will also be revealed! ”

After Jimmy's explanation, Klose's mind turned a corner, and he nodded and said, "This way the goal is much clearer.... Hey~! Don't say it, I've really accepted a good apprentice! The master didn't teach you anything, but you solved a big problem for me first! ”

The minotaur scratched his horns in embarrassment.

"The master has won the award, in fact, just like the apprentice said, you are just a fan of the authorities, and I, an outsider, can see the essence of the incident from another angle."

"So good apprentice, is there any way you can lure out those behind the scenes?"

Ken thought for a while before he said: "If, as you guessed, Master, there will be the other party's secret spies around us, then even if we pay attention to it, no matter how tightly defended we are, we may reveal flaws." It's better to... You take the initiative to sell a flaw and lure the other party into the game! In this way, even if you can't catch the other party, you can also remove the unstable factors around you from the shadows and reduce some unknown dangers. ”

"Oh? Good apprentice! So what should we do next? ”

Klose stared at the minotaur with shiny eyes, only to see the young minotaur softly spit out a few words: "Eat, drink, and be merry." ”

"Huh?"

Klose looked demented.

"Hehe, I mean master, you just need to eat, drink, and have fun, and go all the way back to Morning Light City. Don't send someone to investigate this matter for the time being, I believe that as long as you put on a posture of playing in the mountains and rivers, the other party will definitely make another move before you return to Dawn City! ”

"Shhhh

Klose, Meloyd, and Jimmy, who were present, all gasped! They looked at the minotaur with some surprise in their eyes.

Klose even thought that he had picked up a Zhuge Wolong alive? No, it should be Zhuge Crouching Cow!

Ken was a little embarrassed to be looked at by the three of them, blushing slightly, and lowered his head.

Klose stood up and patted Ken's shoulder vigorously: "Hahaha! My good apprentice! Then it's up to you and Jimmy to take care of it! My dear, we'll leave for Morning Light the day after tomorrow! It's just that we have to travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, and slowly go back ~~! If I don't bring some gifts back to the children, they will be disappointed, right? Starting tomorrow, you will accompany me to buy a good shop at Port Rousseau! Then let's take the largest and slowest ship, departing from East Harbor to Bominte Harbor! ”

"Yes, master, I haven't been shopping for a long time."

Meloyd nodded gracefully with a smile, while the little mouse Jimi licked his lips with excitement and hideousness.

The young minotaur looked at the expressions of the three people in front of him, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if the murderer who had offended his master fell into their hands.
