Before long, Jerry and his subordinates arrived at the venue of the ball with the demon beasts.
Because of Leon's noble status, this murder case was especially important.
Therefore, ever since the ball ended that day, no one had touched this place. It had always been in the same state since that night.
Even the crime scene was not cleaned up. Many traces of blood at the scene were even preserved.
"Go and find the magic aura that doesn't belong to my brother!"
Jerry ordered the demon beast to investigate.
Before long, the demon beast stopped beside the bed. Jerry understood that it meant that he had found a clue.
Through the special mental communication method, Jerry quickly understood the meaning of the demon beast.
This demon beast had indeed lived up to Jerry's expectations and had already found the demon aura of the murderer.
Moreover, although more than a year had passed, because this place had always been perfectly preserved, all the traces left behind by the murderer were still there.
Although these traces were extremely hidden, they were all exposed in front of such a demon beast.
"Let's go and see where this murderer went in the end!"
Then, everyone immediately set off.
With the demon beast scouting in front, Jerry brought his men and followed behind.
After a few hours, the outline of a city finally appeared in front of everyone.
The moment he saw this city, Jerry was stunned.
"Why here? Marquis Carl's territory?"
Marquis Carl was Kallen's father and was also the current head of a royal family.
This city was the hereditary territory of the Kallen family for generations.
Every branch of the seven royal families had a large territory. Moreover, the resources produced by the territory could support a large number of experts.
This was also the reason why these seven royal bloodlines could last forever!
"Lord Jerry, the clues have stopped here. Moreover, it's impossible for us to bring this demon beast into this city. What should we do now?
"However, if we stop here, I'm afraid we can't confirm that the murderer who killed Lord Leon is really hiding in this city!"
Dale frowned and said.
Unexpectedly, Jerry suddenly sneered and said in an affirmative tone.
"Hehe, we only have this clue now, but this clue points to Marquis Carl's territory.
"Do you think there's any other way to investigate the truth if we give up on this clue?"
Dale was silent. He knew what Jerry had said was true.
Jerry continued, "In my opinion, there's at least a 95% chance that the person who killed my brother is someone in this city. It's even very likely that he's a member of Marquis Carl's family!"
Dale was immediately shocked.
He hurriedly reminded, "Lord Jerry, Marquis Carl is the head of a branch of the royal family. Aren't you a little…"
"What? So what if I directly say that he's the murderer? Someone has to pay the price for my brother's death. I have to answer to my father!
"Only in this way can I prove myself and have the possibility of becoming the inheritor for the family!
"Moreover, it's not like you don't know that the seven branches of the royal family have their own thoughts. If not for the fact that the kingdom lost to the orcs last time, it would be impossible for them to form an alliance."
"Don't worry, how could I not know my father's thoughts? He said he wants an investigation but he only just wants to find a scapegoat to atone for his crimes to our family!"
Dale thought for a moment and said.
"Then what should we do now? Leave the demon beast outside and enter the city to search for the murderer?
"We still brought quite a lot of people. Even if we're stopped by the guards at the city gate, it's impossible for them to stop us."
Hearing this, Jerry immediately rejected his subordinate's suggestion.
He shook his head and said, "No, no matter what, this is Marquis Carl's territory.
"I'm only a count. If I bump into Marquis Carl, I'll probably have to bear the consequences.
"It's not like you don't know how my brother died. Without absolute confidence, I won't risk my life.
"Let's go. We've investigated enough. Let's go back and think about it at length.
"Father has already clearly told me that the ancestor is also willing to personally take action for this matter. With such a powerful backup, why not make use of it?"
At this moment, Fang Ping still did not know that Marquis Jed had not given up on investigating the murder of his son.
Moreover, his second son, Jerry, had even found a portion of the clues!
Now, Fang Ping's strength had advanced again, and he had already reached the half-step Skeleton King level!
As long as he broke through again and took this step forward, Fang Ping's strength would be comparable to a duke expert of the vampire race!
In this era where there were no princes, the strength of a duke was already the top strength in this world!
What made Fang Ping excited was the pair of wings he had obtained through the investment system previously.
It actually evolved as his strength kept breaking through!
It was as if these wings really belonged to his original body. The higher his strength, the more outstanding the ability of the wings!
This was undoubtedly an encouragement for Fang Ping. He could not wait to obtain a stronger flying ability.
…
Three days later, one morning, Fang Ping had just bade farewell to Kallen and was about to go home to rest when he suddenly realized that he seemed to have taken the wrong path.
He walked onto a path he had never been on before and did not know where this path led.
When Fang Ping realized this, he no longer knew where he was in the palace.
The palace buildings of the Vampire Imperial City were very complicated. Moreover, after thousands of years of continuous modification and expansion, the interior was like a maze.
Even an old fellow who had lived here for hundreds of years might not be able to remember the places every path led to.
It was even more impossible for Fang Ping.
Because there were many places in the palace that the staff could not enter, Fang Ping immediately wanted to find a familiar path to leave after realizing that he had taken the wrong path.
However, after a while, Fang Ping realized that he seemed to be walking further and further away. He had completely fallen into the huge maze of the palace.
Although Fang Ping could now begin to control spatial ability and perform spatial teleportation for a certain distance, there were too many people in the palace. Fang Ping was worried that if he was teleported to a place with people and was seen, his strength would be completely exposed.
Therefore, Fang Ping did not dare to use his spatial ability. He could only constantly explore to try to find the right path.
After a while, Fang Ping suddenly felt the surrounding air become moist.
Not only did he not walk out of the palace, but he also seemed to have walked into an underground palace.
At this moment, he did not know what shocking secret was hidden in this underground palace!
