The day passed quickly, and no one came to disturb Ryuga.
When night came and he walked out of the room, the entire Twin Tower was still under martial law.
Ryuga didn't care too much about Huang Jinji's death. After walking out of the Sun Tower, he once again looked around. As soon as he found Aoqi Orange, he would immediately disguise himself and attack her.
He was very patient, or rather, he didn't have the feeling of being impatient. As long as it was to achieve his goal, he wouldn't feel bored even if he repeated monotonous actions many times.
However, he didn't find Aoqi Orange. Instead, Ryuga found Lenise, Grey, and Monarch Ermero II.
In the depths of the dense forest, there was a spring that constantly gushed out. This seemed to be a node of the territory with more spiritual power.
At this time, Monarch Ermero II and the other two were investigating something at the edge of the spring.
Ryuga looked over and saw a corpse floating on the spring.
It was Huang Jinji's maid, Karina.
In the wee hours of the morning, he was still a witness in the Moon Tower, but now, he had turned into a silent corpse and floated above the spring water. His heart seemed to have caved in, and he should have received a fatal blow.
This was the second victim.
Monarch Ermero II and Lenise were discussing the case by the spring. After Lenise called, he really rushed here from the Clock Tower.
"Yin-yang -san?"
Grey felt that she couldn't help much, so she looked around. When she saw Ryuga's figure, she greeted him.
"Good evening, Grey."
Ryuga looked normal as he walked to the edge of the group. His face showed just the right amount of surprise. "Isn't this Huang Jinji's maid? She's also dead? What happened? "
"I don't know."
Grey shook her head in disappointment, as if she was blaming herself for not being able to help at all. "In the afternoon, we followed the footprints outside the Moon Tower to the spring, but when we got here, it was already …"
According to Grey, because the second king hadn't arrived in the afternoon, Lenise, who had boasted in front of Balon, had no choice but to investigate herself.
After discovering Huang Jinji's footsteps in the bushes outside the Moon Tower, Lainice used Maid Mercury to track her footsteps and entered the forest.
But halfway through, she accidentally triggered the enchantment set up by the Ezeruma Family in the forest, and the Mercury Maid and Lainice lost their magical connection.
By the time they found the Maid of Mercury, she was already standing at the edge of the spring. Her hands were stained with blood, and Carina's body was already floating in the water.
"Because of this incident, Miss Lenise was even more determined to be a criminal by Sir Byron and the others. Even Trem was temporarily sealed. Fortunately, Master arrived in time and vouched for Miss Lenise in the name of the Monarch."
Grey described the whole process to Ryuga.
From her point of view, of course, she didn't think that Lenise was a criminal. Moreover, Grey was with Lenise the whole time, so she could prove Lenise's innocence. But because Grey and Lenise were on the same side, Ezeruma didn't recognize her as a witness.
"Wait a minute, you said that Trem's hands were stained with blood?"
Ryuga raised her eyebrows slightly. She immediately noticed that something was wrong. "That's the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, which is essentially mercury. It's easy to remove the blood from it. Even without Master's magic, it should be able to remove the blood on its own, right?"
"Also, assuming that Trem killed Huang Jinji and Carina, he didn't even get a single drop of blood on Huang Jinji's body. But he just attacked Carina's heart and his hands were stained with blood. No matter how you think about it, it's too strange."
Not many killers would be stupid enough to let their hands be stained with the blood of the dead. To be honest, he didn't intend to interfere, but it didn't fit his current persona. So, he just casually gave them some clues that he found and let them solve the case by themselves.
"Eh? Is … that so? "
Grey paused for a moment, then nodded in realization. "Oh … I see. That seems to be the case."
"Oh? My beloved brother, this new student of yours seems to be quite extraordinary. "
Lainice's face was no longer as nervous as when she faced Balon's attack alone. Instead, it was replaced by a look of joy. "She could come up with such a train of thought after hearing Grey's explanation. Even my brain can't work that fast."
"I have the same opinion as Yin-yang."
Emperor Ermero II was still smoking, ignoring Lainice's words. Instead, he nodded in agreement with Ryuga's opinion.
"This is obviously a framing, and it's unnecessary to stain Trem's hands with blood."
"By the way, the reason why I came so late is to find someone to investigate Izeluma's information. I didn't expect you to be so impatient!"
As he said this, Ermero II cast a resentful look at Lainice.
Ermero II was not only Lainice's sworn brother, but also her teacher in magic, so he often scolded her like a student.
"No, no, no. I've already boasted so much. If I can't show any results, wouldn't Ermero's name become a joke?" Lainice retorted.
"But it's your actions that got you into this situation! Haven't you reflected on it at all? "
"Of course I've reflected on it, but that's another matter. At that time, I had to take action, right?"
"Then all the more reason to retreat when you noticed something was wrong, instead of trying to go in!"
"Are you telling me to give up on Trem?"
"Life is more important than magic attire!"
"Tch … That's why I always say that brother is a second-rate magician."
"Ugh … It's against the rules to say that at a time like this …"
Before they could come to a conclusion, the brother and sister pair suddenly started to quarrel and hurt each other.
Although they were nominally the puppet monarch and the mastermind behind the scenes, the relationship between the two was surprisingly good. People who were not familiar with each other would not be able to quarrel so skillfully.
Grey stood on the side. Although her face under the hood could not be seen, she gave off a happy feeling.
"By the way, Grey, you said before that you came here because you found Huang Jinji's footprints. Have you investigated the footprints?"
Liu Xia asked Grey who was beside her.
"No, not yet."
Grey shook her head, "We're still investigating the cause of Miss Karina's death. We haven't had time to continue investigating the footprints."
