As soon as Grabo said this, the audience fell into a brief dead silence.

The grumpy Lorna was the first to get angry, she pulled out her long sword with a "swish", slammed it on Grabo's neck, and scolded: "You try to talk nonsense to me again?!" You're a dog, you don't have a good relationship with Chino, so you just pour dirty water on him, right?! Believe it or not, I cut off your dog's head?! ”

Bolton and Chino had no grudges in the past, and they would not dare to believe such a thing, so they asked in a cold voice: "Administrator Grabo, think clearly before you speak, do you dare to take responsibility for your words and deeds?" ”

"Of course I'm responsible." Grabo didn't make any resistance, allowing Lorna to carry his sword, explaining, "I do have a bad relationship with Administrator Chino, but public is public and private is private, and I can't talk nonsense about such things." ”

"The reason why I say that the murderer is him is because I already have substantial evidence. If your Highnesses don't believe me, you can follow me to the site for inspection. But if I speak nonsense, I will be given death at once. ”

Grabo spoke so much that she left no room for anything, even Lorna hesitated, she was silent for a moment, put away her sword, and said indifferently, "Lead the way." ”

Actually, it wasn't Lorna's turn to decide whether to go or not, but Bolton really wanted to go to the scene to see it, so he got up and followed Grabo to a private house under the cover of the guards.

Along the way, Grabo's face was very gloomy, and he reported: "Yesterday, the city gate guards reported to me that they found the Chino administrator who entered the city, I thought he was coming to Thundercloud City to look for me, but I waited in the house for a long time and didn't wait for anyone. I really didn't expect that he was actually planning to assassinate His Royal Highness... This is the scene of his assassination. ”

Grabo leads the group into a private house that has been cordoned off by local defenders, and goes directly to the top room to show it to everyone.

The room was completely emptied, except for a table with a large-caliber firearm covered with a cloth, the original Barrett M82A1, with blood still on the floor and the remnants of the windows, and from the distribution of blood, it was obvious that an injured man had rolled out of the window.

Grabo explained, "This weapon, as the alchemists call it the 'sniper rifle', is the weapon of the visitors from the heavens who were seized during last year's Twilight City banquet bombing, and it was originally hidden in the Star Fortress for research, but it was stolen some time ago and has never been recovered... We now know who stole it. ”

Burton's brows furrowed, puzzled: "What do you mean... Executive Chino went to Fort of the Stars to steal this gun and used it to assassinate me? ”

"I can't guarantee the former, maybe he stole it himself, maybe he sent someone to steal it, I don't speculate." Grabo changed his tone and said with certainty, "But the assassination has been confirmed." After the shooting just now, the nearby defenders rushed into the place when they heard the sound and found the Chino administrator who was about to flee, and someone shot him with a crossbow arrow, but he failed to hit the vital point, and he escaped through the window. ”

"That's not right! There's something wrong with what you're saying! Solandale suddenly interrupted the conversation and took the initiative to stand up, "This is not the scene of the assassination!" The reason why I pounced on my brother at that time was because of the cathedral... It was the cathedral more than 1,000 meters north of the main road, and I saw a strange reflection in the bell room on the top floor, and I felt very dangerous, so I pounced on my brother. That cathedral is the point of assassination! ”

Grabo was stunned for a moment, looking very puzzled: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you must have read it wrong. You were just frightened, and you may have some confusion in your memory. ”

Solandale affirmed, "I was scared, but I remember correctly, there was just a reflection there!" ”

Grabo wanted to say something, but Lorna directly slapped him to shut up: "She said there is!" I'll break the bridge of your nose with more nonsense! ”

Grabo covered his face and said aggrievedly: "Even if there is, it may be the reflection of glass, the cathedral has so many colorful windows, and today the sun is shining, and it is common for reflection to appear." ”

Bolton thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "Solan, did you see it clearly at the time, what exactly is reflecting?" ”

Everyone looked at Solandelle, who looked confused, lowered his head and muttered: "It's too far away, I only saw a reflection there, and then inexplicably felt very dangerous, so I immediately pounced on you, and I didn't see anything else... I'm sorry..."

"Silly sister, the last person to apologize is you, without you, I would be dead now." Bolton touched Randell's head for comfort, then looked at the guards, "Divide your men and go to the cathedral to check the bell chamber to see if there are any traces." ”

"Yes." Some of the guards left.

"Pick up where we left off." Bolton looked at the bloodstains by the window, frowned, and said, "Even if it was really Chino who wanted to assassinate me, I didn't understand one thing - I only had a relationship with him at the New Year's banquet, and I had never been a bad friend, so why did he attack me?" ”

Grabo's expression became very solemn, he handed over a document, and said faintly: "The complicated procedure of this matter is probably far beyond our imagination, you look at this." ”

Burton opened the file and pulled out three gold-encapsulated sheets of paper.

Bolton had just finished the Battle of Blood Sand not long ago, and he was extremely familiar with the desert forces, and he quickly recognized this kind of golden paper: "The golden assassination order of the Blood Thorn Society?" ”

Grabo nodded.

The golden assassination warrant has a special desert anti-counterfeiting process, which is extremely difficult to forge, and the three golden assassination warrants in Bolton's hand are all real, and they are three versions of the upper, middle and lower, and they together form a complete contract:

Client: Month.

Undertaker: Winter clothes.

Target: Bolton van Dogoland.

There is no restriction on the dates.

Special Requirements: None.

...

After Bolton looked at it, his eyes wandered: "I'm not surprised that someone entrusted the Blood Thorn to assassinate me. After all, I've been fighting outside since I was a child, and I've offended a lot of forces, and there are more people who want to kill me... It's just that I don't understand, what does this golden assassination order have to do with Chino? ”

Grabo looked puzzled, as if he wanted to hide something, but after thinking about it, he still hung his head and said it: "First of all, I want to obtain the royal family's forgiveness on behalf of the Trojan family - my good friend, Erin Troy, has done some dishonorable things. ”

Burton asked, "Erin Troy... You mean the former Thundercloud City administrator? What did she do? ”

Grabo shrank his head and said: "After the explosion of Twilight last year, Brooke Troy died, Erin always thought it was Chino's fault, but as you know, after the field investigation, Lord Barty Dogulander, the "judge" of Fengyun Pass, acquitted Chino, which made Erin's mental state very extreme for a while, so she... She secretly contacted the Blood Assassin Society and signed a golden assassination warrant to hire an assassin to assassinate Chino. ”

It was a huge political scandal for a main city-level administrator to try to assassinate another main city-level administrator by using the hands of the Desert Blood Thorn Society! There seemed to be anger burning in Bolton's eyes, and he wished to slap Grabo's head now, but the current situation was urgent, so he didn't pursue the matter first, but asked in a cold voice: "As far as I know, the later Administrator Erin was poisoned, is it also related to this matter?" ”

Grabo said quietly, "Don't you think it's strange? Erin asked the Blood Thorn Society to assassinate Chino, but Chino did not die, not even attacked by the assassins, but Erin was poisoned, which is not at all logical! Unless..."

Bolton realized something, and his face quickly sank, as if he was about to drip water: "Go on." ”

"Unless... This 'winter coat' is Chino. Grabo took out another document and handed it to Burton, "This is not unwarranted speculation, but there is substantial evidence, please open it." ”
