Chapter 1196 One

Faced with Mary's rude words, Perikna nodded.

"Um."

There is no rebuttal, let alone debate.

When she decided to ask Qin Ran for help, the female leader of the Snake Faction was already mentally prepared to correct her identity and status.

But Mary frowned again.

This was not the first time she had met the female leader of the Snake Faction, but compared to the previous sharp-edged encounters, this time the opponent made her feel much more difficult.

The poisonous snake in front of me is not scary.

The scary ones are hidden in the bushes, in the shadows.

I'll keep an eye on you!

Mary told the other party with her eyes.

The female leader of the Snake Faction did not respond. At this moment, she had no intention of paying attention to this. She knew that the most important thing she should do at this moment was to focus on leading the way for Qin Ran.

Warren Palace is not big.

Compared with some royal palaces and imperial palaces that Qin Ran knew, it was like a manor owned by a small noble in the countryside. But this was also compared with nobles, and compared with ordinary people who owned one or two wooden houses, it was still. Unimaginably big.

Following Perikna, with the speed of the female leader of the Snake Faction, it still took about five minutes to reach the destination.

"This is where the court servants live."

"Oh, Mr. Turner?!"

Mary introduced Qin Ran, but when she saw the body crawling on the ground after the female leader of the snake sect opened the door, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Then, without waiting for Qin Ran to ask, he explained.

"Turner is my father's sergeant. He has served my father since he was ten years old. He has blocked my father's hidden arrows from the shadows more than once. Later, he gradually withdrew due to too many injuries and inconvenience in movement. People’s vision, however, is still to see my father often.”

"According to what my father told me, their private relationship is very good. Mr. Turner has no reason to murder my father!"

"Moreover, Mr. Turner is very kind. Many people in the palace like and love this gentleman. At least four or five people come to visit him every day."

"Such a person cannot be a murderer!"

The underage princess said.

Qin Ran listened quietly, his eyes already entering the [Tracking] field of vision.

He would not think that the person in front of him was the murderer of James VIII just because of Pericna's words. Similarly, he would not think that the other person was innocent because of Mary's words.

Everything requires evidence.

Thankfully, there aren’t many of them, and there aren’t too many of them.

Turner was killed in his room.

The murderer used a dagger.

The Lord Chamberlain of James VIII was killed by slitting his throat from behind, but Turner, who could serve as Lord Chamberlain of James VIII, was obviously not someone who would be captured without mercy.

Even though he had difficulty moving due to too many injuries, he still struggled at the last moment.

Qin Ran lifted the former sergeant's calf and looked at the soles of the shoes.

One of the slightly dusty shoe soles is particularly clean.

Obviously, the former sergeant's body instinct controlled the sole of his foot to step on the opponent.

This kick is very powerful.

So much so that the other party limped when he left, becoming so conspicuous among the many footprints.

Qin Ran stood up and followed the pair of footprints.

Soon, we arrived at the outer wall of Warren Palace.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty."

When the patrolling guards saw Kieran and Mary, they immediately saluted respectfully. When Mary waved her hand, Qin Ran had already jumped over the wall and walked in a certain direction.

Perikna followed closely.

Looking at the black figure, the female leader of the Snake Sect was once again surprised in her eyes.

She knew that Qin Ran must have discovered something.

But she was also certain that there were no clues worth caring about in that house.

The traces were wiped clean.

Even the smell is eliminated.

As for the method of killing?

Although cutting one's throat is cruel, it is not a secret technique. In the Snake Sect, starting from the apprentice, everyone will be exposed to this technique.

To put it simply, aside from the twenty or so core members of her snake sect, the more than two hundred people on the periphery can do this.

But immediately, the face of the female leader of the Snake Sect darkened.

The core of her team is gone.

Except her.

Although she had made adequate preparations for the other party's 'raid', she was still careless.

Not only did they underestimate the opponent's strength, they also underestimated their numbers.

That failure was...

Her mistake!

Regret and hate.

Like twin snakes, they bit into the heart of the female leader of the Snake Faction, causing her breathing to become rapid, and scenes of the death of her companions began to appear before her eyes.

Not willing to give in!

pain!

despair!

When these were intertwined, the female leader of the Snake Faction staggered forward.

"I said, just because you can't find it, doesn't mean 2567 can't be found."

At this time, Mary's voice suddenly sounded, and the female leader of the Snake Faction was stunned. Only then did she realize that she was actually being supported by Mary.

"Thanks."

Listening to those seemingly sarcastic words, the female leader of the Snake Sect first broke away from Mary's hand, and then thanked her seriously.

"I didn't mean to help you."

"It's just that you happened to be standing next to me."

As Mary said this, she quickened her pace and chased after Qin Ran.

The female leader of the Snake Faction looked at Mary and shook her head slightly.

Of course she wouldn't reveal that with the speed of the other party, if she hadn't noticed something was wrong with her, why would he have been walking side by side with her.

A few days ago, she would have dismissed the other person's kindness.

But now?

Perikna touched her heart.

Feeling the sudden warmth.

She doesn't seem too cold anymore.

In the darkness, glimmers of light also appeared.

call!

Taking a deep breath, Perikna quickly caught up.

Mary, who was walking side by side with Kieran, looked at the female leader of the Snake Faction who was chasing after her. She frowned slightly, relaxed a little, but immediately frowned again.

She can't figure it out!

Why would the murderer who wanted to kill her father choose Mr. Turner as his target?

Although the Warren Palace seemed a little depressed due to the war, there were still many waiters!

Among hundreds of waiters, it is really unreasonable to choose Turner who is the most conspicuous!

If it were just an ordinary waiter, at this period, even if it happened in the palace, the matter would be handled hastily, but if it were Turner, it would be different.

Turner's identity is destined to cause an uproar once discovered.

Moreover, Turner's good popularity means that the other party will definitely be discovered!

"You're wondering why that guy picked Turner as his target?"

Qin Ran suddenly asked as he was walking forward.

"Um."

"This is unreasonable. Mr. Turner is too conspicuous!"

Mary nodded.

"because……"

"Turner was one of his targets."

Kieran said calmly.
