Lance was looking for traces of Ralph on the street, but there was no trace of Ralph anywhere in the crowded streets. Where did he go?
Looking at the gray sky, the ominous feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger.
A motorcycle stopped in front of him, and Lien said in a cold voice, "Found it."
Lance was overjoyed, "Where?"
Lean pointed behind him and said, "Get in the car."
Cosell Police Department
Lance stood in front of a corpse, his eyes dull.
"He had struggled with someone before his death and had many bruises on his body, but they were not fatal."
Lien asked, "What was the cause of death?"
"Here," the medical examiner pointed to a bloody hole on Ralph's left chest, "the bullet passed through the heart, killing him with one shot."
Lean frowned and said nothing, while Lance muttered, "It's murder."
"We found this in the deceased's pocket," the medical examiner took out a pendant, "Take a look."
"This is……"
Staring at the pendant in his hand in surprise, Lance was stunned.
Isn't this the pendant that he dropped on Sharda's office door that night at the carnival? How did it end up here with Ralph?
Could it be that……
Thinking of the time when Ralph broke into Salda's office, Lance's face turned pale and he stumbled.
The forensic doctor quickly supported him and said, "Young man, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Lance barely supported his body, but his thinking was extremely clear.
Salda discovered what he had eavesdropped on that night, and he picked up his pendant. Ralph secretly followed and investigated him, but the other party mistakenly thought he was himself, so...
If I had discovered and stopped him at that time, he would not have been killed by Sharda. In other words, I was the one who really killed him.
Holding the pendant tightly, Lance's face turned blue and white, then turned gray.
Sharda was sitting in the office, playing with the pen in her hand, her gray eyes fixed on the person in front of her, "Your Highness Leng Ling, I have just encountered something difficult and want to discuss it with you. Could you please come here specially?"
,I am sorry."
Leng Ling sat upright and asked, "What's the matter?"
"A few days ago, I discovered that Sergeant Ralph has been following me."
Leng Ling's eyes were dull, "What do you want to explain?"
Sharda smiled and shook her pen, "Of course you don't know, so I want to tell you. I didn't pay attention to its tracking at all, but as time went by, I felt that something was wrong. Just a few days ago.
One night, he followed me to a remote alley and wanted to kill me."
A trace of complexity flashed in Leng Ling's eyes, "But you were not killed by him."
"If he killed me, I wouldn't be here. I escaped successfully and hid outside for several days. I just came back today. By chance, I found that everyone in the headquarters was looking for him outside. I contacted a few people before
I will tell you immediately about the terrible things that happened in the sky."
Leng Ling's eyes were cold and she didn't say anything.
Sharda cleared her throat and said, "Your Highness, during this period, you have been busy with official duties, while I was wandering around Cossel with nothing to do. Perhaps it was because I did not fulfill my responsibilities during the days when you went to Valencia.
It was Kessel who suffered huge losses, and there was too little communication between us, so there was dissatisfaction with me among your subordinates. I was wondering if it was because of my incompetence that Kessel lost money.
So tragic, so Sergeant Ralph has a grudge against me and wants to kill me to avenge his friends who were killed or injured in the war?"
Looking at Sharda with a questioning look, Leng Ling remained calm and composed, "I don't know anything about Sergeant Ralph. As for what you said about him wanting to kill you, we have to wait.
Only by finding him and asking him clearly can we make a judgment."
Sharda half-squinted her light gray eyes, "What if you can't find him?"
Leng Ling was shocked, "What do you mean?"
"Your Highness!"
Lance knocked on the door and rushed in, "We found Sergeant Ralph."
"where?"
Glancing at Sharda with his blue eyes, Lance said, "He is dead."
"!"
Leng Ling was stunned, "What's going on?!"
"People from the police station found his body in a remote alley. He had been dead for several days."
Leng Ling glanced at the indifferent man opposite him and said, "Your Excellency Sharda, can you please explain this matter?"
Sharda spread her hands and said, "He wanted to kill me, but I accidentally fired the gun during the struggle. That's it."
Lance glared at Sharda fiercely, as if his eyes were murderous, "You killed him! Why did you kill him!?"
Sharda took off her glasses, wiped the blurred lenses, and put them back on, "Adjutant Lance, please don't get excited. He wants to kill me. I'm trying to protect myself, so I will inevitably kill him by mistake."
Lance didn't believe it and said, "He is just a young man and has no grievances against you. Why did he want to kill you? Is it because he discovered your secret, so you want to kill him to silence him?"
Leng Ling stopped him and said, "Lance!"
"Your Highness, this man killed Sergeant Ralph..."
Leng Ling said sternly, "Get out!"
The azure eyes exuded a frightening light. Lance clenched his fists tightly, holding back the hatred that was constantly surging in his chest. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
Sharda put her hands flat on the desk, "Your Highness Leng Ling, your adjutant is too excited, and I feel that he doesn't like me very much."
Leng Ling's voice was light, "Maybe he has a good relationship with Sergeant Ralph, so he's a little excited."
Sharda crossed her legs and folded her hands on her thighs, "So, what do you want to ask me?"
The light in his dark eyes was dim, and Leng Ling said thoughtfully, "I feel very sorry for Sergeant Ralph's stupid behavior, but I am also curious about why he wanted to kill you."
"This is exactly the question I want to ask you. As an excellent Lanson soldier, Sergeant Ralph's behavior is indeed incredible. But he is dead now, and we have no way of knowing what he did in the first place.
The motive for the murder."
Leng Ling asked, "Didn't he say a word when he killed you?"
Sharda said calmly, "Of course he spoke. He said that because of my incompetence and failure, many soldiers and civilians of Kossel were injured and died in the war. However, I feel that his reason is not sufficient. There is a
My intuition told me that he had other motives for killing me."
Leng Ling was confused, "What?"
The light gray eyes narrowed dangerously, "Perhaps like what Lieutenant Lance said just now, he discovered my secret and was killed by me." As if joking, Sharda spread his hands and said, "Of course,
This is just my guess. However, Sergeant Ralph was indeed terrible that night. If luck had not been on my side, there would have been no conversation between us today."
His deep pupils shrank quietly, Leng Ling pursed his lips and did not answer.
"Your Highness Leng Ling, no matter why he wants to kill me, or who is behind the scenes instigating him to do so, I can only regretfully tell him that it is never that easy to kill me or bring me down."
Seeing this man calmly showing off in front of her as if he was demonstrating, Leng Ling's handsome face contained a hint of meaning, "Then I wish the God of Luck will always be on your side, Sir Sharda."
"Then I will lend you your kind words, your distinguished Highness Leng Ling."
Leng Ling returned to the office and saw Lien sitting on the sofa and Lance standing beside him, his eyes filled with angry fire.
"Lance, make me another cup of black tea."
Lance remained silent in sorrow and raised his head somewhat dullly, "Your Highness..."
"Go quickly."
"yes."
Lean looked at Leng Ling and said, "On the day Ralph died, he followed Salda."
"He didn't lie," Leng Ling said in a low voice, doubts flashing across his brows, "But how did Ralph know that we were investigating Salda?"
Lien judged, "Of course someone told him, or he noticed it."
"who is it?"
Lean frowned, "Since finding Ralph's body, something has been wrong with Lance."
"He is too guilty."
"More than that," Lean waved his hand, his handsome face deeply chilled, "I suspect that Ralph's death may have something to do with him."
Leng Ling raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Intuition," Lien stood up and reached out to caress Leng Ling's cheek, "I'm going back to the military factory first. That Sharda may already know something, so you must be careful."
Leng Ling's eyes were cold, "I know."
As soon as Lean left, Lance walked in with black tea and said, "Your Highness."
"Your reaction in front of Sharda just now was a little too intense."
Lance's face darkened, he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions well and I said such things on impulse."
Taking the black tea, Leng Ling took a sip and said, "Tell me, how much do you know about this matter?"
"Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Leng Ling hit the nail on the head, "You know why Ralph died."
Lance was speechless, "Your Highness, I..."
"tell me."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, you already know everything I know. I have nothing more to tell you."
"Adjutant Lance," Leng Ling's voice increased, "I order you to tell me the truth."
Lance raised his head and looked directly at Leng Ling with his blue eyes, "Your Highness, I'm not hiding anything. Please believe me."
Seeing that the other party still refused to say anything, Leng Ling did not pursue it any further, "We are all very sad that Ralph died. But you have to remember that his death was just an accident, and you must not vent your anger on Sharda.
You just need to keep an eye on Roy, and you must not interfere in Sharda's investigation, do you understand?"
