When he walked to the door, there were already many guards standing there. Li Huailin pushed the crowd aside and looked inside. The room was still tidy, but there was a woman lying on the ground. Her face was down, and her back was up. She was lying on the ground, and there was a pool of blood on the ground where her head was. It looked like she had died from vomiting blood.
"Your Highness, will it explode like the child just now?" Legg walked up and asked carefully.
"Step back." Li Huailin also nodded, then directly went over to the woman on the ground and kicked her a few times, turning her face so that she lay on her back.
She looked like she was about twenty years old. Just as the guards had said, Li Huailin could tell at a glance that this girl was not a local. Although she was wearing ordinary clothes, her skin was slightly dark, and it was not the kind of dark that came from the sun. Instead, it felt like it was a little dark. Although Li Huailin did not know the racial divisions in the game, most NPCs in human empires did not look like this, so she could only be a foreigner.
Similar to Cassandra, this girl was also bleeding from her seven orifices, especially her mouth. The blood in her mouth was almost staining her lips. It seemed like she had vomited a lot of blood. From the looks of it, she had also been poisoned to death.
Old Ed was not worried about being poisoned, so he immediately walked up to take a look. After checking the other party's face, he said, "She's gone."
"Poisoned to death?" Li Huailin asked.
"It looks like she was poisoned by the same poison as Cassandra." Old Ed nodded.
"Come and identify her. Is she the third wife of your master that you mentioned?" Li Huailin pointed at the guard who had followed him.
"Yes, yes, Your Grace," the guard quickly said. "It's her."
"When did she appear?" Li Huailin asked. "Recently, and it's a little sudden.
"Recently, and it's a little sudden. Master suddenly brought a woman home and immediately announced that she would be the third wife of the family. In fact, Master doesn't like women. There are only two wives in the family. Even though the first wife has a child, Master usually doesn't want to remarry. But this time, he suddenly decided to marry the third wife. Moreover, the third wife is very young, and we don't know where she comes from, so we feel very strange." The guard immediately replied.
"Yes." As expected, it was quite suspicious. Li Huailin nodded. There seemed to be no doubt about this matter. This was because the plan was very simple. This third wife was probably from the Gangara tribe. Then, she controlled the poisonous insects to bite Karl's only son and threatened Karl to help them. Then, last night, she killed Karl. Of course, she would not fulfill her promise to let his son go. In the end, Li Huailin happened to run into this matter today. When she found out that he had sealed off this place, she committed suicide by poisoning herself.
Although it seemed to make complete sense, Li Huailin suddenly did not believe that this matter was so simple. The most obvious thing was … the motive was unclear. Ed had also said that the Gangara tribe was a relatively mysterious tribe and rarely interacted with others. Of course, they should not have any grudges with Karl. They might have found them to lure him or others into the trap, but why …
The mission that Karl provided first showed the location of a secret treasure to the players who might receive the mission. Then, the second mission asked the players to find the key figure of the secret treasure, Count Chitalera. Both missions were related to the secret treasure. This should not be a coincidence. Could it be that this mysterious tribe was related to the secret treasure?
Li Huailin could not figure out the reason behind this. Fortunately, the woman's corpse was still here. Li Huailin could directly resurrect her and ask her. Of course, Li Huailin could not resurrect her here. After all, there were so many people watching. After thinking for a while, Li Huailin said, "The investigation will temporarily end here. However, I will take this corpse with me to investigate. Legg, bring this corpse back and place it in my mansion."
"Yes." Legg, of course, could not think of anything like resurrecting a corpse, so he nodded.
"Jockett, is it alright?" Li Huailin turned to Jockett and asked.
"Of course, of course." How could Jockett dare to restrain Li Huailin? Although this was a murder that happened in his territory, he could not refuse Li Huailin's investigation. Not only could he please Li Huailin, but he could also shirk his responsibility. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Everyone else, continue to be under house arrest in the mansion. No one is allowed to leave this door without my order." Li Huailin thought for a while. To be safe, he gave the order again. He was afraid that the woman had accomplices mixed in. It would be troublesome if they escaped.
"Yes." Jockett nodded. This was considered simple. In any case, he only needed to send a few people to watch over the situation.
"Reggie, take a few people and stay here for a while." Li Huailin then said to Reggie, "Do a little investigation and see if there's anything special here. If you find anything, report it to me."
"Yes, Lord Marshal." Reggie nodded.
The investigation stopped here for the time being. Li Huailin brought Legg and the others back to the Duke's mansion. When he returned, Li Huailin found that he had not returned to his territory for a long time. However, it seemed that the development of his territory was quite good. The main city, Sovata City, seemed to be thriving. Every commoner had a smile on their faces. When they saw Li Huailin's troops, the commoners consciously made way and knelt on the side of the road.
Li Huailin also looked at the popularity of his territory. He found that the current value was 90 points, which was very high. It seemed that his Rogue City Management Team had been doing quite well recently. They forcibly stabilized the people's hearts. His decision was very correct.
Li Huailin returned to his Duke's mansion with satisfaction. Because he had not been back for a long time, several cabinet ministers were already waiting for Li Huailin at the door. It seemed that they had a lot of things to talk about with Li Huailin. Li Huailin felt a headache when he saw them.
"Lord!" "Lord!" "Lord!" Seeing Li Huailin return, everyone immediately greeted him.
"Alright, let's find a place to store the corpses first. I will carefully investigate in a while." Li Huailin said.
"Corpses?" Oliveira came over to take a look, then thought for a moment. "We don't have a place to store corpses here. Let's put them in the small warehouse at the back first."
Li Huailin did not mind and immediately nodded. He hurriedly dealt with a wave of things, then immediately continued to investigate the corpses. "Alright, if there's anything, say it immediately. I will deal with it immediately."
"Lord, His Majesty the Emperor has sent a ceremonial officer to inform us that in two days, there will be a grand celebration banquet in the main city. Lord, please be sure to attend." As soon as Li Huailin finished speaking, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Geert, immediately spoke up. This was the most important matter right now.
"Two days? Finally, an official notice? Alright, I understand." Li Huailin nodded. Of course, he had to attend. After all, it was the process of obtaining the secret treasure.
"Also, Lord, you have transferred almost everyone in the military department to the First Legion. The military department of the Duke's Mansion is now unable to operate, and the guards of the Duke's Mansion are also a problem …" Geert spoke up again. "I propose to recruit a second batch of exclusive knights, and then immediately select a new military minister and members."
"Legg, you handle this matter. Arrange a candidate for me." Li Huailin immediately said.
"Yes, Lord Marshal." Legg also immediately responded.
"Lord, about the territory's financial problems …" Oliveira also came up to ask impatiently.
"Our territory still has financial problems?" Li Huailin asked.
"No, it's too much money," Oliveira said. "The First Madam hasn't appeared for the past few days, so the previous method of borrowing money can't be used for the time being. Now, the treasury is full, and the private army will be returning soon. According to the report, they will bring a large wave of money …"
"I understand. I will ask Ruoyan to take some time to deal with it." Li Huailin facepalmed.
"And Lord Duke …"
There were indeed a lot of problems left over here, but fortunately, they weren't big problems. Even so, Li Huailin took a long time to deal with them. After the orders were passed down, the ministers on this side carried on with new orders from Li Huailin.
Although it was great to be the Lord, handling official affairs had always been a headache for Li Huailin. Although the ministers were capable enough, after all, he was the one in control of the direction, and there were some things that they couldn't make the decisions for.
No matter what, it was a little late by the time everything was settled. Seeing that everyone was busy, Li Huailin decided that it was time to find the mysterious woman and ask about the situation. Soon, Li Huailin arrived at the small warehouse where the corpse was stored.
After calling the two guards, Li Huailin walked into the warehouse. The woman's corpse was on the ground, and the blood on her face hadn't been wiped off. Yang Zi was still as terrifying as ever. Li Huailin also shook his head. Seeing that there was no one around, he directly pulled out the Divine Sword, Shadow Light, and used the fourth godly skill, Undead Army.
System Notification: Skill Undead Army failed.
"Huh?" The system prompt left Li Huailin dumbfounded.
