Chapter 530: The Corpses Of The Assassins

But there is one thing.

The problem is, her words will drift in after a while, making it difficult for anyone listening to pay attention.

But that day was different, her voice trembled because she had heard something about the visit to the capital.

"Please don't be surprised! But the Marquis Cavani died this morning in his mansion!

"What?"

Lin Qing looked at her with shock written all over her face.

Anna went on, she was telling him in detail.

"Before he got up in the morning, the waiter went to wake him up. When he entered the room, he was still sleeping. After careful observation, he was found to be dead."

The body will have to be examined in detail to know the cause, but it is highly likely that the event was deemed a natural death.

As we all know, Marquis Cavani has been suffering from heart disease.

However, Lin Qing's mind was telling him another important thing.

After Al left, Lin Qing sent him an invitation two days ago, and Lin Qing asked Alex about the situation of Marquis Cavani.

He has a heart condition and is advanced in age, but he is very active and energetic.

He is an energetic guy and has always been very cooperative with Lin Qing.

And how could such a person die in his sleep?

Happening at this time, things must not be that simple. 23 Lin Qing hurriedly sent Zhang Xun to the intelligence guild and asked Alex to handle the sources of information from Alex's family.

He believes that information from two different places can reveal unseen details.

"The sudden death of Marquis Cavani, the nobles are very sad now."

The nobles in the capital all went to the Hou Mansion to bid farewell to him for the last time.

This may have been a long-planned assassination.

But, even on close inspection, there was no trace of any assassination attempt.

Reports indicated the cause was a heart attack.

Marquis Cavani has a heart condition, which does not appear to be unusual.

The nobles were thrown into chaos.

The death of the Marquis was indeed a huge blow, but just before the court session, the most trusted person of the princes disappeared overnight.

"Really, natural causes?"

Amidst her own doubts, Lin Qing began to think about confirming the reason. In that case, maybe his anxiety will subside.

He ordered a group of people to wait in the dormitory, and sneaked out by himself to inspect the death of Marquis Cavani.

That night, the Hou Mansion was crowded with people.

The banquet was supposed to be held in the mansion, but it was canceled later, but the death of Marquis Cavani caused the nobles from the capital to pour into the mansion.

But their presence did not stop Lin Qing from sneaking in.

The proper use of reflection magic and dark invisibility magic allowed Lin Qing to easily enter the room where the Marquis' body was held.

In the magnificent coffin, the face of the Marquis was placed, as if he was sleeping in it.

If he was really killed, it is absolutely impossible to have a peaceful face.

Lin Qing approached the coffin and looked at the Marquis' body.

I wonder if I have been poisoned by some unknown poison or magic, but there is no such trace at all.

Famous priests and wizards must have seen him, and nothing of the kind happened, and if they found anything, word would spread.

After taking a closer look at Marquis' body, Lin Qing decided to settle for the next best thing.

However, he felt a strange energy from the heart of the Marquis.

A dark, sullen energy, as if awakened in the hands of a small hand.

Lin Qing seemed to sense it somewhere.

What could this be? This energy is very similar to the demon I summoned five hundred years ago!

He can think.

This detectable heart energy is the worms of the devil world.

A kind of thing that is difficult to recognize in the devil world, once it enters the host's heart, it will start to devour the body from the inside.

Naturally, a damaged heart will not function properly and cause the death of the host, the problem is that it will appear to be just a simple heart attack to others.

Five hundred years ago, Lin Qing carried out experiments on the round worms he picked up from the devil world out of curiosity, and thus learned more about the round worms.

"That makes it clear how the Marquis was killed."

Roundworms are naturally transmitted creatures on the earth, and someone must have summoned them from the devil world and used them.

"The Warlock of the Empire or the Warlock of the Emperor?"

Anyway, Lin Qing confirmed that it was an assassination and not a natural death, and then escaped from the secret room where the body was placed.

If he lingers any longer, he might get caught, which is definitely not a good thing.

However, just as he was about to leave the mansion, several voices reached his ears, making him stop.

"Hu, this is a big deal."

"I know, right. The Marquis is dead, the emperor cannot be responsible for this situation!"

"But even so, is there no evidence, not a single one? Even the emperor's responsibility cannot be pursued like this!"

"Is there no evidence yet? As long as we have a medical certificate, we can go directly to the palace to plead guilty.

They are young noblemen in their twenties and thirty years old who belong to the nobility.

They were talking about the death of the Marquis by the Emperor.

But they were frustrated by their inability to expose the murderer's methods and evidence.

"Oh, look here?"

Lin Qing suddenly had a thought flashing through his mind.

Originally, the Imperial Diet had declared the war with the Volga a defeat, not a victory, which put the emperor at a disadvantage.

But from the moment the Marquis died, everything seemed to be hot and unpredictable.

"Hoo hoo, I'm so looking forward to it."

With excitement, Lin Qing walked out of Cavani's mansion with a smile all over her face.

Baron Jonathan is a young 503 nobleman who is reputed to lead the future of the empire and currently serves as the Imperial Ministry of the Interior.

His ability to carry out the task at hand was excellent, and his loyalty to the emperor was unmatched.

Emperor Rudolf also paid tribute and praise to him many times.

"Is it time?

Seeing a dark figure outside the window, Jonathan got out from the desk.

His wife has been nagging him recently, saying that he has been working too hard recently.

After leaving the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he hurried back to the mansion. He went up to his bedroom on the second floor and tried to calm his distraught wife who was late.

"Honey, here I come..."

Snapped!

Baron Jonathan who opened the bedroom door was stunned.

A knife struck from behind and stabbed him in the back.

he just turned his head

With a sarcasm, the knife that pierced Jonathan's heart was drawn back.

The assassin who stabbed him wasted no more time and disappeared into the darkness.

The lady who saw her husband died couldn't recover for a while.

Seeing the fallen husband in front of her eyes, her face suddenly turned pale.

She thought her husband was playing a prank.

The husband's body was getting colder every second, and the blood from his heart stained the floor.

"Wow!"

Then a scream came out of the woman's mouth when she realized what happened was real....
