Chapter 1347 The Mystery of the Feast (4)
The moment they saw the corpse, everyone's eyes began to turn to each other, and the undercurrent surging under the silence was about to burst out. The first to speak was Thor who was holding Sif's hand.
"What's going on?" Thor's voice was very low, and the anger contained in it made the guests present tremble with fear. No one here can bear the anger of the god king.
It can only be said that fortunately today's banquet is not a formal wedding ceremony, but a banquet to welcome guests from the interstellar civilization. The official ceremony will not be held until tomorrow morning when the king and queen of the gods. If such a thing happens at that time, I am afraid that the interstellar civilization The society is about to set off another bloodbath.
But such an accident is shocking enough. It was the real ruler of one of the three great empires in the universe who died at the Asgard banquet in front of so many civilization leaders.
Thor set his eyes on Luo Ji, and Schiller also turned to look at Luo Ji, while Luo Ji lowered his head slightly and said, "I'll investigate right away."
The insiders present knew what she meant by the investigation. She only needed to go to the universe to take a look, and then she could go back along the timeline and see who did it. At worst, she could go to the Time Management Bureau and request Mobius came here with a machine to go back in time.
Luo Ji turned around slowly, and at this moment a voice sounded: "Wait a minute, Your Highness Luo Ji."
Luo Ji turned around and found that it was Stark who made the sound, and Thor's eyes fell on Stark's face again, and Stark touched his wrist calmly and said, "Should we start?" Confirm the identity of the deceased? Although she looks like Her Majesty the Queen of the Shia Empire, this is the palace of Asgard. There is no reason for Her Majesty to die here. Should we first check whether this is a double or not? phantom?"
As soon as Stark finished speaking, he felt a gaze fall on him. Stark raised his eyes and looked at Schiller who was staring at him. He didn't continue to speak, but smiled.
At this time, Sif, the leader of the Asgard Guards, frowned and said: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the banquet, the soldiers of the guards are waiting outside the venue, but other members of the guards who have no security tasks, including doctors, coroners, etc. Withdrew from Asgard."
"Your Majesty, if you want to verify your identity, I will send someone to call a professional to investigate."
"No need." Thor didn't look at Sif, but rejected her proposal.
But everyone also understood that now Sif is not the captain of the palace guard, she is the fiancée of the God King, she can't bring a team of people to touch the corpse, and she can't even leave here temporarily, it's very rude.
"I think there is a doctor here, isn't there?" Frigga's voice came, and she looked at Schiller, who turned his head slightly but did not look at Frigga, but glanced at Odin's face.
Obviously, everyone on the field has their own goals and secrets, and a delicate and fragile balance is gradually established.
All have information that no one else has that will be key to their own ends.
They are sure that the smart people present can understand the current situation - when they don't understand the purpose of other people, they can't recklessly use too rough means of breaking the situation to spy on the truth, that will only bring trouble to themselves.
Under the shroud of this atmosphere, even a fool can understand that this will not be a simple murder case, or that the queen of the Shia Empire will die, and that she died at the Asgard banquet, there is no such thing Possibility of simple homicide.
Schiller stood there silent for a few seconds, but did not step forward, but said: "I am a psychiatrist, I don't understand magic, I don't know how to do an autopsy and I can't detect illusions. I think there is someone more powerful than me." fit for the job."
After speaking, he turned his head to the other side and looked at a figure in the crowd. Everyone followed him and focused their eyes on that figure. Strange, holding a wine glass, walked over through the crowd.
His gaze first fell on the corpse on the ground, and then he looked at Thor and said, "I'm not a forensic doctor, just a surgeon."
"But at least you can check to see if it's magic, can't you, Mage Supreme?" Thor began emphatically.
"Luo Ji can also... Well, it's impolite for His Royal Highness dressed up to touch the corpse, let me do it." Strange turned around and put the wine glass on the waiter's tray.
Schiller's eyes did not follow Strange's movements like the others, but only glanced at the wine glass Strange had just put down.
The Supreme Mage took off his cloak, handed it to Luo Ji who was closest to him, then walked to the side of the queen's body and squatted down, his eyes were slightly gleam, and a golden light shone from his fingertips.
Strange tapped his fingertips lightly on the ground, and the magic radiance rippled. When sweeping across the queen's body, there was no abnormality in the magic fluctuations, and most of the people present saw this.
"The corpse is real." Strange shook his head and said, "There is no trace of magical fabrication or illusion."
"So can the cause of death be determined?" Thor asked again.
Strange stared at the body and said: "I want to examine the wounds on the body, but this may be a bit offensive. I'm not sure the queen and her family will allow me to touch her body at will."
"Lilan! Lilan! Your Majesty Lilandra!!" An anxious shout came from the main entrance of the fairy palace, and a strong male of the Feather clan rushed in with two guards.
"That's the husband of the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire." Luo Ji explained to Schiller in a low voice,
But Schiller's attention was not on the prince, but on the face of the young guard who had just entered.
"Aren't their royal guards all Feather clan?" Schiller asked Luo Ji in a low voice.
"The Xi'a Empire is an empire of ethnic integration. Although the Mengyu tribe is a race of the royal family, in order to show respect for other races, their guards include members of more than 20 races."
"Including humans?"
Luo Ji froze for a moment, she followed Schiller's eyes and found that the young soldier standing behind the prince who fell on the ground looked exactly like a human.
There was a gleam of magic in Loki's eyes, too, and then she realized that the young guard was really human, at least definitely of human blood.
There are many humanoid races in the universe. This phenomenon starts with some beings that spread life at the beginning, but in fact, humanoid races are the mainstream of the interstellar society, and most races are vertebrates with four limbs.
But on this basis, different races also have slight differences. Differences such as skin color are no longer differences. Some races not only have four limbs, but may have four arms, some races have human bodies and fish tails, and some races Even has two heads.
Even if the appearance looks exactly the same as that of a human, the internal blood vessels and muscle tissue will definitely be very different.
After all, there are very few weak races like human beings in the universe. Even if they are ugly and not strong enough, most of them can use other energies.
This means that their organs will produce special changes during evolution, and it is impossible for them to be completely consistent with a race like human beings who are weak and cannot use energy.
But the young man on the opposite side conforms to the laws of the human body from internal organ structure to blood vessels to muscle tissue, so he is very likely to be a human being.
However, it is very strange that human beings will become members of the Shia Empire Guards. Human beings are not member races under the Shia Empire at all. The sites of the two races are far apart. Fang Ba can't hit it.
Then who would this human appear here? How could he join the palace guard of the Shia Empire? And why did it appear beside the queen's husband?
Schiller quickly searched for information in his mind. He knew that all human beings who can walk out of the Nine Kingdoms are not weak, and they must have something to rely on. They must be a famous existence in the Marvel world.
Searching with the keyword of the Shia Imperial Guard, Schiller suddenly found an extremely inconspicuous piece of information in the depths of his dusty memory.
One of his experiences is recorded in the Star-Lord origin story in the Guardians of the Galaxy. The first half of the story is too complicated, but in short, Star-Lord Peter Quill was imprisoned in an interstellar prison named Kane.
Xingjue wanted to escape from prison, so he found a few teammates. On the way to escape, he found a big explosion in the interstellar prison Kane, so he wanted to go to check the situation. At this time, he met a gladiator. Later, this A gladiator recruited Star-Lord into the Shi'ar Empire's escort.
But in the comics, Star-Lord rejected the call-up, but chose to stay in Kane Prison, but there is no doubt that Star-Lord once had a chance to join the Shia Empire Guard.
The butterfly effect of the traverser is too complicated, and Schiller is not sure whether it is the change he brought that caused the star-lord to agree to the gladiator's request, and thus really joined the guard of the Shi'ar Empire.
But in this inconspicuous story, a well-known big man is still involved, that is Thanos.
At that time, Xingjue wanted to deal with an existence called the creator, because he felt that he was not strong enough, so he wanted to pull Thanos as a teammate. In the comic plot, Thanos did not agree, but beat the creator himself.
In other words, Thanos and Xing-Lord have dealt with each other before, not only did they have no hatred, Xing-Lord also wanted to cooperate with Thanos, then, even if Thanos wisely rejected Xing-Lord in the aspect of jointly fighting the enemy, the two of them Will people cooperate in other ways?
Schiller turned his head to look at the purple-skinned giant at the edge of the dance floor, just standing there with a glass of wine drinking to himself, without saying a word, as if he hadn't noticed the chaos in the center of the dance floor at all.
But Schiller understands that Thanos is not a law-abiding person. If he is not a part of this chaos, no one will believe it.
Was the chaos over the Queen's murder a sudden event?
On the contrary, all the conspiracies proceed quietly, and the final chaos is nothing but the result of the explosion of all kinds of factors after they collide and accumulate power to the peak.
Standing in the center of the bright and wide dance floor, Schiller can catch everyone's thoughtful expressions at a glance.
Looking through everyone's pupils and connecting perspectives that others don't know can form a complete truth.
And Schiller, who did not have this information, had to deduce where the source of the power that caused the chaos to erupt came from, based on everyone's words, reactions, and attitudes within a few minutes of the chaos. When was it produced.
Stripping away cocoons, inferring step by step, inferring everyone's motives, methods and ultimate goals.
With the rapid thinking of the brain, the heart began to beat faster and faster, and the drumbeat of "bang bang bang" was like the prelude to the opening of the dance.
Time stood still, space condensed, and the last ray of light flowed into Schiller's eyes along the brow bone, and then, like the afterglow on the Asgard Bridge, pulled the curtain down on the darkness.
The sound and color in Vanity Fair gradually faded, and the light became dim.
Suddenly, with a flash of intense light, Schiller woke up from a somewhat confused drowsiness. Outside the bedroom window of Asgard, one could see the bright energy tail flames from the engine port of the royal spaceship of the Shi'ar Empire when it slowed down and landed.
This is really strange, Schiller thought, the Queen and his wife of the Shia Empire would personally come to congratulate them, and they came earlier than the other two empires.
