Hearing this, Ma Long was shocked. He didn't see the princess when he came, and Ma Long had a bad premonition in his heart. Originally, he was optimistic that it was something like the princess being sick that made her father a little tired. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be something like that.
Missing is worse than expected!
A series of questions came to Ma Long's mind: When did she disappear and who is related to it? When was the last time she saw the princess? What did the waiter beside her say... and a series of other questions. But Ma Long did not ask any questions.
Because there was another overlooked but fatal question that suddenly appeared in Ma Long's mind - the princess's sudden disappearance at this juncture, could it be related to the victory at Junlin Mountain?
In other words, is the princess controlled by the Gamma Planet? Has she become a hostage?
The more deeply Malone guessed, the more scared he felt. He suddenly raised his head and saw the tired king. Malone suddenly realized that the worried king had also considered this problem. If the princess was really abducted by the Gamma Planet,
If so, the situation is indeed not good. This is not a problem that ransom alone can solve.
"Let's go in and talk in detail." The king sighed again and invited everyone to enter the main hall. After all, standing here is not the place to talk, and this matter cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
"Okay." Ma Long and his party followed the king and the others and walked slowly towards the main hall.
The king dispersed the rest of the crowd, leaving no one behind, and invited Ma Long and his party to a place similar to a conference hall.
"The sound insulation effect of this room is good. You don't have to worry about what you say being heard. This is one of the few places in the palace where you can talk." After sitting down, the king seemed a little weak. It seemed that even the king himself,
They have begun to doubt the people around them.
Next, the king slowly told the whole story.
Just after the victory at Junlin Mountain was heard, the entire royal capital was immersed in the peace of laughter and laughter. No one thought that on this day of national celebration, the princess would disappear quietly.
"When her maid came to the news at first, I didn't take it seriously at all." The king said sadly, "After all, she is no longer a child, and she also needs some free time. But when the day passed,
, and when I saw no sign of my daughter, I suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. Although many people were sent to secretly search for her, there was still no news."
"What day was it specifically?" Ma Long asked, "Is it the day when the good news came?"
The king nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "To be precise, half a day passed after the good news came. According to the maid, my daughter said she wanted to go out for a walk and relax.
It’s understandable. Years of war have exhausted us physically and mentally. When this good news came for the first time, we couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. But even this time we went out, my daughter was gone forever. Alas, it’s all my fault.
, If someone had been sent to look for it earlier, maybe——" As the king spoke, he shook his head regretfully and fell into deep self-blame.
"Did the princess go out alone? Where is the maid beside her? Are there no guards?" Ma Long asked in surprise. Logically speaking, a person with the status of the princess should be surrounded by people when she goes out, and there should be a lot of bodyguards and servants.
That's right, how could a living person disappear out of thin air?
"She usually goes out alone and doesn't need anyone to protect her." The king explained, "In our Blue Star, the crime rate is very low. This kind of thing has never happened before. Who would have thought that at this time
He suddenly disappeared and we didn’t know what to do.”
"So with your Blue Star's high technology, isn't it possible to find a person?" Although Ma Long didn't see anything like a so-called camera, he thought to himself that the technology here at Blue Star far exceeds that of the earth for nearly a hundred years.
The search technology should be very advanced. If the princess is nearby, it shouldn't be difficult to find her.
The king shook his head helplessly, "I have searched everywhere I can, and I haven't found any clues. She seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace."
This is really troublesome... Ma Long frowned and thought. If he didn't leave any clues, it would be difficult to continue the investigation.
Although at this time, Ma Long had powerful qi discrimination skills and could search a range through smell, but Malone had already tried it out in general and found no trace of smell within the reachable range. It was just as the king said, as if
It just disappeared into thin air.
"What we are most worried about now is that my daughter's disappearance is related to this great victory." The king worriedly expressed Malone's previous worries, "As you know, there seems to be a very unstable person hidden within our Blue Star.
The factor is the traitor we have always suspected. Although this person is just our conjecture and there is no real evidence to prove the existence of such a person, but if such a person really exists, my daughter will fall into his hands.
It's equivalent to falling into the hands of the Gamma Stars, and the situation is very critical."
As he said that, the king suddenly raised his head and asked again: "I heard that you captured a large number of enemy prisoners this time. How many people are there in total?"
"Two thousand five hundred people," Ma Long said simply, "including the enemy commander in the eastern region, Mauriak, who was also captured by us."
The king's frown deepened. "Mauriac - was he also escorted to the royal capital?"
"Yes." Ma Long also sighed in his heart, secretly calling it a fluke. Fortunately, the second prince did not kill the commander on the spot. If the princess fell into the hands of the enemy, she would definitely ransom the commander Mauriac.
If Mauriac died, the princess's life would definitely not be guaranteed.
"You must keep an eye on this person..." The king was thoughtful, and seemed to have the same idea as Ma Long. "This person may be involved in my daughter's life and death, and there must be no room for error."
There was a brief lull in the conversation between the two. Ma Long suddenly thought of a question. Since it is suspected that there is a traitor undercover within one's own side, and it is implicated in the disappearance of the princess this time, will there be such a situation - that the traitor is here?
Shi had already taken the princess hostage and left the royal capital!
In other words, isn't the person who is absent in the palace for no reason at this time the traitor undercover? Although it is a bit risky to use this method of reverse inference, it may be able to lead to the truth of the problem.
"After the princess disappeared, was there anyone else who lost contact or left without reason?" Ma Long asked.
The king widened his eyes, glanced at Ma Long, and then understood what Ma Long meant. He shook his head and said: "No, we have checked the whereabouts of everyone inside. If this traitor is really still here, then what he did is really
Beautiful, no clues can be found.”
"Isn't there anyone? Even those who left the capital of Bantian without any reason?"
"There is indeed such a person." After a while, the king's mood became even more depressed. "Yes, in fact, there is one person missing in the royal capital at this time. No one even knows when he disappeared -
"
"Who is it?" Ma Long asked hurriedly.
"Enke." The king said, "My third son, Enke, has also been missing for a long time."
