"Chief Barry was not killed, he committed suicide."
In the king's bedroom, Mary threw out this final conclusion.
"Suicide?!"
After hearing her words, the housekeeper Ou Lei's eyes widened with disbelief written all over his face, while the prince's brother Preben next to him had an expressionless face and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right." Nodding, Mary told the final truth.
"Last night at midnight, Chief Barry came to His Majesty the King's bedroom alone. He was holding the briefcase he usually carries in his hand. There were two things in the bag, a dagger and small ice cubes filled with the entire briefcase.
Needless to say, the dagger, as for the small ice cubes, was made by Chief Barry using the large refrigerator in his office. We found traces of use on the ice trays in the refrigerator.
By the way, I guess it's because Chief Bali often visited His Majesty the King late at night, so the guards didn't stop him or search him last night, right? "
As she spoke, Mary suddenly turned her head and looked at the guard soldiers at the door of the room behind her.
"Yes, it is."
Instantly straightening his back, the soldier nodded subconsciously and quickly replied: "Chief Bali used to often come to the dormitory late at night to discuss important matters with His Majesty the King. Many times he would not leave until the next morning, so, so …”
The soldier didn't say any more, but everyone present understood what he meant.
Barry is an important minister of the kingdom, and this is something that usually happens. Therefore, last night, the soldiers who had been slacking off did not search Barry's body and allowed him to walk in with the briefcase. Bedroom.
Withdrawing her gaze, Mary continued: "After entering the dormitory, Chief Barry did not wake up His Majesty the King, who had already taken sleeping pills and fell asleep, and immediately began his self-directed murder method.
This technique is very simple. He first poured out all the small ice cubes in the briefcase, piled them on the carpet in front of His Majesty the King's bed, and inserted the dagger's blade upwards into it to fix it.
Then, he moved the chair in front of the desk in the room, found a good angle, stood on it, and fell down with his back to the dagger fixed by the ice..."
"What?!" Listening to Mary's words, Ou Lei subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth.
"Under the influence of gravity, the dagger stabbed Chief Barley through the chest without any suspense after he fell from the chair.
Soon afterwards, Chief Bali died of his severe injuries. As for the pile of small ice cubes he used to fix the dagger, they turned into water after one night and penetrated into the carpet under him. It turned into the scene that Butler Ole saw this morning. "
Having said this, Mary looked at Ole again and her tone became much gentler.
"At around 6:30 this morning, Butler Ole came to the dormitory because you wanted to deliver breakfast to His Majesty the King, and saw Chief Barley lying on the carpet.
You subconsciously thought that Chief Bali had a conflict with His Majesty the King, causing His Majesty the King to kill him in anger.
After seeing this, you did not wake up His Majesty the King who was still sleeping. Instead, you quietly pushed Chief Barry's body from the window, cleaned up the blood stains in the room, and used a trolley to remove the blood-stained card. of carpets shipped away.
From the perspective of His Majesty the King, O'Leary is indeed a very loyal steward. The real purpose of you doing all this is not to cover up Barry's death. On the contrary, you are to lead his death to you. .
You know very well that Bali is an important minister of the kingdom, so his death will be strictly investigated by the police. In order to prevent His Majesty from being implicated, you resolutely decided to become the murderer who was responsible for the murder.
Therefore, you deliberately placed the blood-stained carpet in Barry's office, deliberately walked through the central courtyard to let the maid named Esther notice your actions, and even deliberately walked in front of me and Xiaoying. Obvious flaws were revealed one after another.
All of this is a deliberate misdirection you made in order to lead the blame to yourself..."
"Ole..."
Behind Ou Lei, Hening Gu looked at him, his voice old and weak.
"What she said...is it true?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I..." Ou Lei turned around, faced Hening Gu, lowered his head with red eyes and replied: "I was so nervous at the time, I subconsciously thought it was you, Your Majesty..."
Hening Gu just shook his head slightly and said nothing.
"So, is this really the truth?"
Beside Mary, Prince Preburn couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this reasoning.
He looked at Ole with tears in his eyes.
"Ou Lei, I wrongly blamed you before. I didn't expect that you would be so loyal to Brother Wang. I didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be so unexpected..."
Caught off guard by his words, Ou Lei paused for a moment and then quickly said: "Please don't say that to His Highness Preborn, you have done nothing wrong..."
"No, I was indeed reckless this time. However, after all, Bali is an important minister of our kingdom and has a high reputation among the people. His murder does need to be dealt with strictly and quickly. Only in this way can we give the people We have a suitable explanation, just..."
As he spoke, the conversation suddenly changed. Preben looked at Heningu on the bed and asked in a curious tone:
"Brother Wang, there is one thing I still don't understand. Why did Bali insist on committing suicide in your dormitory to frame you?
Brother Wang, does Barry have any special reason for doing this? "
Preben's eyes were very curious and innocent. He seemed to really not know the reason, and he also seemed to really want to know.
For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Heningu closed his eyes and did not answer, and Preben didn't seem to be in a hurry, just looking at his brother Wang, waiting for his answer.
[The final drama is finally coming...]
Mary raised her hand to push up her sunglasses and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
At the door of the dormitory, Captain Hans raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned slightly tiredly. He raised his hand to call over the guard soldier next to him and whispered a few words in his ear. The soldier nodded sharply. , then turned around and left quickly.
In the dormitory, Mary, who had been paying attention to him with her peripheral vision, had a panoramic view of this scene.
"Um, Your Highness Preburn..." As if he couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere, O'Leary looked at Preburn and couldn't help but say:
"I think, since the cause of Chief Barry's death is now clear, why not today..."
"It's because of what happened ten years ago."
Suddenly, an unexpected voice sounded in the room, interrupting Ou Lei's words.
Mary was extremely surprised and looked at Karasuma Ying who suddenly spoke next to her.
【This child? ! 】
But soon, she seemed to have guessed something. She suddenly turned her head to look at Hans at the door, only to find that Hans also had a very surprised look on his face.
【Why……】
On the hospital bed, Heningu, who had closed his eyes and said nothing, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Karasuma Ying with sharp eyes.
It looks like the kingdom chapter will come to an end tomorrow (﹃) I’m so sleepy
