This is truly a situation that Annan had never imagined.
It's impossible for him to be chatted to death by Annan's evasion, right?
Others chatter to death, Annan chatters to death - then Lu Xiucai really wants to call himself an expert.
The middle-aged man who came to inform Annan obviously misunderstood what Annan meant.
"You misunderstood!"
He quickly explained: "We do not regard you as a suspect...because after meeting you, His Highness Philip also met with other people."
"...was it his murder?"
"That's right. I can't say more about the specific situation at the moment...but we can basically rule out that it is a problem with your country's personnel."
The man's attitude towards Annan was extremely respectful and polite: "After all, His Holiness the Pope has vouched for you. And in that state... In fact, I don't think it is difficult to guess the identity of the assassin."
"Can I go over and ask?"
"That's what I came here to talk about."
The man in silver robe sat on the sofa, with a grimace on his face: "Please stay here for the time being and do not go out. If you must go out, send someone to the Silver Lord Church to call some cardinals, or send Alexander
You can just call the leader."
Annan was keenly aware of the meaning behind the man's words: "The murderer hasn't been caught yet? Is he still in the palace?"
"If nothing unexpected happens... I mean, if no one just started a teleportation ceremony from outside to pull the assassin out, it should be."
The man in silver robe said seriously: "Please leave this matter to us first. For your safety, please try not to go out during this period. At least it is absolutely safe here."
At this moment, Victor, who was standing next to Annan, suddenly interrupted: "So, is the place where His Royal Highness Philip is also absolutely safe?"
The man in silver robe was obviously choked by these words.
But this middle-aged man in a silver robe, whom he met for the first time at last night's banquet and looked like an internal affairs officer, obviously reacted quickly.
He revealed some more information: "His Royal Highness Philip's residence is of course safe. Our Noah's inner palace has been sanctified by the Silver Jue Church. Neither ritualists nor extraordinary beings can jump in out of thin air.
, neither ghosts nor phantoms can penetrate through the wall, and any damage to the wall will be spread to the entire palace building.
"If you want to enter or leave, you must go through the doors and windows. So when you open the door in the future, please be more careful - it is best to let the wizard open the door for you. Be sure to pay attention to safety."
The man said and glanced at Victor behind Annan.
This is considered a counterattack, neither light nor heavy.
"Then I have a question."
Annan thought for a moment and asked, "When His Royal Highness Philip was assassinated, were there any other servants injured?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He suddenly realized something and his expression became solemn.
He replied very firmly: "No. Not at all - the first person to discover that His Royal Highness Philip was dead was the maid who got up at five in the morning to prepare breakfast.
"At around 5:10, when she passed by the door of His Royal Highness Philip, she found that the door was not closed tightly. When she was about to go over and close the door, she saw a mess in the room and blood flowing all over the floor.
"After that, I found His Royal Highness Philip lying on the bed - by that time, His Highness Philip had already lost his body temperature."
This is undoubtedly very important information.
The internal affairs officer was also aware of Annan's wisdom, so he hesitated and added: "The reason why she could tell at a glance that something was wrong with His Highness Philip was because... His Highness Philip at that time had already
The head was lost. We still haven’t found where the head is.”
"Head?"
Annan frowned, thinking of a trick that often appeared in reasoning.
So he asked: "Since Philip's head is missing, can you really be sure that the body is Philip and not someone with a similar body shape to him?"
"The cardinals have considered this matter immediately."
The house officer immediately replied: "Before sending me here, the cardinals had already used rituals to prove that the headless body was that of His Highness Philip."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Annan cautiously: "Your Majesty... what do you think?"
…How else can I watch?
Should I run over and watch? Or should I watch while eating?
Or should I say "Then I suspect this person is dead"?
These things are still far from enough - I hide a bunch of details and let me reason for you.
Then if I really push it out, will it be considered a big deal?
Don’t you still doubt us?
Annan curled his lips without any trace.
But it's normal... After all, Annan just talked to him last night, and then he got cold before spending the night, and even his head disappeared.
"If we use rituals, we should be able to find the location of Philip's head using his corpse."
Annan still put forward some useful ideas: "Should the cardinals take this into consideration?"
"The [Lost Property Retrieval] ritual has been completed, and even the [Tracing the Murderer] ritual has been used seven or eight times. But here's the problem..."
The internal affairs officer frowned, obviously there was something he couldn't figure out: "His Royal Highness Philip's head has even left King Noah's City, and is still moving at high speed... But on the other hand, the murderer is still running around in the palace."
"Fleeing?"
"Yes, the murderer moves very fast. It has been moving rapidly around the palace, but the three-eyed crows have never been able to find its location... It is currently speculated that it may be transparent or a spirit body. It is already in
I am considering setting up a very large exorcism barrier and sweeping the entire palace."
"Can't you find Sir Silver?"
"The Pope has already gone to see Sir Silver...but Sir Silver seems to be away. Things should become clear after Sir Silver comes back."
The steward warned from the bottom of his heart: "Now Sir Silver is not in the royal city of Noah, and the murderer is still in the palace. Before we capture the murderer, please don't go out for the time being."
After he left, Victor frowned slightly and asked Annan softly: "Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"
"The Noahs still can't worry about us."
Annan shook his head: "He already said that Philip's head flew out of the royal city, but he still didn't tell us who Philip had chatted with after that."
"At least it shouldn't be Her Royal Highness Kafni or the eldest princess."
Victor replied: "Although we don't know who the murderer is, it is simple and reliable to directly use rituals to confirm 'whether someone killed another person.' They should be able to believe that your majesty has nothing to do with this matter for the first time."
We have already checked all the relevant people in advance...including your Majesty, and of course the other two princesses."
"I do have an idea."
Annan frowned slightly: "Let me ask you, Victor."
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
"When a person loses his head...or in other words, if a person only has a head, will he really die?"
This question made Victor frown and start thinking.
Annan continued: "There is another thing more important than Philip's life and death.
"——His [Fourth Theory of History], where is it now?"
