“Who did this? Are there any leads?”
“When exactly did this happen?”
“Is there a preliminary conclusion on the motive? Was it revenge or something else?”
“Mr. Salas…”
The ministers bombarded the personnel with questions, making the atmosphere seem like amarketplace.
The personnel were cautious in the presence of these high–ranking officials and did not dare to tarry.
The leader of the group responded, “Sirs, the initial examination of the body by forensics reveals thatMr. Salas was killed with a uniquely shaped dagger. The time of death was approximately three hoursago.
“As for the motive… I don’t believe it’s revenge. Nothing is missing from the residence either, whichrules out robbery. Further investigation is needed to draw a conclusion.
“As for the identity of the killer, a thorough investigation with ample evidence and rigorous reasoning isrequired.”
The ministers nodded.

“How about this? Go and summon the relevant individuals. I’ll ask about the situation,” the minister incharge ordered the personnel.
The personnel immediately did as he was told.novelbin
Not long after, many people were brought over.
Some of them were witnesses to the incident, as well as the household staff of the residence and theguard who went to fetch the wine.
The minister looked at the crowd solemnly and said in a low voice, “Speak the truth and tell me whathappened when Mr. Salas was assassinated. Don’t hide anything, or I won’t let you off!”

The group was frightened and immediately piped up, “Sir, I saw many individuals in black entering andleaving the residence about ten minutes apart!”
“Sir, I’m a guard of the residence. Before the incident, Mr. Salas was informed that the Wolf King hadboarded a plane to Flandom for this year’s military exchange. He specifically asked the housekeeper tocontact you for a discussion. He also told me to retrieve some fine wine from the cellar, intending totreat you well.
“However, by the time I returned with the wine, he was already…” The guard trailed off.
Upon hearing this, the ministers exchanged glances.
Andrius had just left, and Ryan started to scheme, but he was assassinated in his own home…
That was not a coincidence.
The minister voiced what the others were thinking. “I suspect that this is all orchestrated by Andrius.He’s targeting us!”
The other ministers all agreed and nodded.
“That’s right!”
“It must be Andrius!”
“Who else has the strength and motive besides him?”
The ministers soon reached an agreement.
In the imperial palace, Registus received the news earlier than the ministers. “Is this also part ofAndrius‘ plan?”
