Chapter 834 This is the truth

The hunting tragedy that occurred in the Kingdom of Besbania half a month ago was not as Duke Kilard said. The eldest prince accidentally shot the former queen in panic.

Even if the eldest prince really fired at that time, he would never be able to kill the queen. The reason is very simple, because the bullets in the eldest prince's shotgun were all blank bullets and had no ability to kill people at all.

Let alone a human being, it may not even be able to kill an animal.

Before coming to Besbania, Bai Hejing learned during the investigation that the former queen was a very peace-loving queen. She had been vigorously promoting this idea of ​​peace and nature in the kingdom during her reign. At the same time, great efforts have been made to protect various natural ecology in the kingdom.

The queen with such thoughts is actually a little dissatisfied and helpless about her son's hobby of hunting.

The former queen would often go hunting with the eldest prince, not because she liked this behavior, but to admonish her son.

Not only that, in order to make the eldest prince commit as little "killings" as possible, she also took many actions besides preaching, and one of them was to replace all the bullets the eldest prince used for hunting with blank bullets.

The bullets Bai Hejing found in the desk in the former Queen's dormitory, as well as the gunpowder powder that was not wiped clean on the surface of the desk, are all evidence to prove this.

Moreover, the photos and trophies on the walls of the former Queen's dormitory also show that she was a very good shooting athlete when she was young. Her knowledge and maintenance knowledge of guns must be far beyond the average person, such as how to disassemble bullets. Nature is also very clear.

Based on the above, this is enough to rule out the possibility of the eldest prince killing the former queen. After all, all the bullets in his shotgun have been replaced by the former queen.

If that shotgun really had the ability to kill people, then Duke Kilard should have been shot to death by Bai Hejing just now.

At the same time, the former queen did not commit suicide. Her autopsy report showed that the wounds on her body were indeed caused by shotgun bullets, and they penetrated directly from the back to the chest.

With the length of those two shotguns, no matter which one they were, it was impossible for the Queen to do such an anti-human operation of holding a shotgun and killing herself from behind.

Therefore suicide can be completely ruled out.

This leaves only the last possibility.

That was Duke Kilard, the only one present at that time besides the former queen and the eldest prince.

The person who actually shot and killed the former queen must be him.

There were three guns at the hunting scene that day. They were a non-lethal shotgun held by the eldest prince, a shotgun of the same model loaded with normal bullets held by Kilad, and a shotgun also held by Kilad. An ordinary pistol on the Duke's possession.

After shooting the former queen from behind with a shotgun in his own hand, Duke Kilard immediately took hostage the eldest prince who was extremely shocked and in disbelief by this scene, grabbed the pistol on his body with the eldest prince's right hand, and pointed it at himself temple, forcing the eldest prince to complete "suicide".

Later, in order not to expose himself to the rifling marks of the shotgun bullets, Duke Kilard specially exchanged the eldest prince and his two shotguns with each other.

After all, the shotguns used by the two of them were of the same model. Therefore, even if the police subsequently identified the shotgun that actually killed the Queen through the rifling marks on the bullet casings scattered around the scene, they would not be able to find his head at all. , will only make people believe more in his lie that "the eldest prince accidentally killed the queen".

On the surface, although Duke Kilard's operation is not perfect, it is difficult to find flaws. After all, given his status, it would be difficult for ordinary people to believe that he would murder his sister and nephew.

Secondly, Duke Kilard always wore gloves during the hunt. He cleverly did not leave his fingerprints on the gun, which made it difficult for the investigating police to identify the ownership of the gun at the scene and had no choice but to believe the lies he made up.

Finally, after the accident, Earl Chiss immediately blocked all relevant evidence, which also hindered the Besbania police investigation to a certain extent and assisted Duke Kilard's plan.

Of course, the reason why Earl Chiss did this was because he suspected Duke Kilard's conspiracy from the first moment. Rather than investigating, he was more worried that Duke Kilard would use the name of investigation to legitimately kill people. Those possible evidences were completely eliminated, so this approach was chosen reluctantly.

But it was also because of his move that Bai Hejing was able to deduce the truth of this tragedy so quickly and seize Duke Kilard's flaw.

"As the Duke said before, half a month ago it was your first time to accompany the Queen and the Eldest Prince on a hunting trip. Therefore, you had no idea that the Queen would privately exchange bullets for the Eldest Prince's shotgun, and you had no idea that this would happen. Point, this is your first flaw.

In addition, it seems that the Duke is busy with government affairs on weekdays and does not pay enough attention to his nephews. Therefore, you have not noticed at all that His Royal Highness is really accustomed to using his left hand, not his right hand.

This kind of habit formed by the body is almost impossible to change through acquired training. No matter how often His Royal Highness is asked to use his right hand by Her Majesty the Queen, in that kind of extreme panic and loss of concentration, he really wants to commit suicide. , the one you subconsciously use must be your real left hand.

But you didn't know this, so you made the fatal mistake of letting the eldest prince hold a gun in his right hand... Your Highness, am I right? "

When Bai Hejing finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present fell on Duke Kilad.

Different from his initial nervous and flustered performance, Duke Kilard looked unusually calm at this time, as if the person identified by Bai Hejing was not him, but someone else.

"Humph, a very wonderful reasoning."

Facing everyone's gaze, Duke Kilard sneered and clapped his hands.

"Uncle, it sounds like you admitted it?" Second Prince Adams asked immediately.

"Shut up, Adams, I will settle your matter with you later."

After drinking to stop Adams who couldn't wait to add insult to injury, Duke Kilard stood up slowly and looked directly at Bai Hejing in front of him.

"I really underestimated this maid... As a reward for you showing me this wonderful reasoning, I don't mind putting you to the end... Okay, this farce ends here."

After the words fell, he gently raised his hand. In an instant, hundreds of soldiers rushed over from outside the lake pavilion. All of them held firearms and blocked the only way out, trapping everyone in the middle of the lake. In the pavilion.

The soldiers who had followed Duke Kilard to the Lake Pavilion also raised their weapons at this time and aimed at the people on the pavilion.
