Ultra-dimensional kill

Chapter 13 The Invisible Hand
Chen Taiyi was there to make up time for Su Ling in various ways.

In the imperial study room, after hearing other imperial physicians confirm that Su Ling had been poisoned, the old emperor was finally furious!
Although he didn't like Zhou Mingyi, the son who made the royal family lose face, he was still his son after all, a member of the royal family!
Someone dared to poison the members of the royal family, this is simply not taking their Great Zhou royal family seriously!
"Immediately tell Song Renfeng to come to the palace to see me!"

The old emperor immediately ordered someone to summon Song Renfeng, the number one investigator of Da Zhou, into the palace.

Soon, Song Renfeng listened to the summons and entered the palace.

The old emperor also immediately ordered Song Renfeng to investigate the case thoroughly, and gave seven days to close the case.

At the same time, the news that the thirteenth prince was persecuted by "Ganqing Poison" in the palace quickly spread...

"Have you heard? The thirteenth prince in the palace was poisoned and murdered!"

"What?! No way! Who is so bold to murder the prince! And it's still in the palace!"

"Who knows, I heard that the 'Ganqing Poison' is still used, which is a poison that can kill people's stomachs after just a cup of tea!"

"Isn't the thirteenth prince dead?!"

"Who says it's not? I heard that the Prince's Pavilion is already full of white horses!"

"Hey, why did I hear that the thirteenth prince was blessed with a great life, and he was rescued by taking the detoxification pill in time?!"

"Who did you hear?"

"A friend from my palace..."

All kinds of whispers and gossip about this matter spread across all classes in the capital in an instant.

The so-called good things do not go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles.

Probably so.

……

Capital City, Eight Princes Mansion, Study Room.

In a room filled with the smell of books, a man in his thirties, dressed in fancy clothes, was sitting at the desk, flipping through the books in his hands, thinking.

This man is none other than the owner of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, the current Eighth Prince, Zhou Mingcheng!

Of course, this is his identity in this world.

But in fact, this person is still a "Super Dimensional Killer" player with the game ID "Huoya Chongtian" and the real name "Li Wenfeng"!
Just now, the intelligence personnel trained by his identity as the eighth prince had just reported to him the detailed situation in the palace and got up to leave.

Thinking about the intelligence officer's report, he couldn't help but feel a little strange: "This is the level of players whose game ratings are higher than mine?"

His last game rating was B-level, and the average game rating of all games is almost at this level.

To be honest, this achievement is already considered a high-end player in "Super Dimensional Killer"!

After all, this game has been in operation for a short time, and there was no publicity in the early stage. It was not until word of mouth spread after the public beta that it gradually became known to people.

Most of the players now are actually at the E level, and the D level is considered a master.

Therefore, when he entered the game and saw the game information showing that the average level of players in this game was D-level, he immediately realized that this game might be a higher-ranked A-level player than him!
It is impossible for his B-level game rating to raise the average game rating of this player so much.

——As for S-level players, he didn't dare to think about it, because he hadn't encountered them yet.

The game "Super Dimensional Killing" is different from other traditional games. It is very strange that there is no way to check the game ratings of other players, and there is no leaderboard.

But fun is really fun.

Li Wenfeng didn't go too deep into it either, he's not a professional gamer, he's just a streamer, as long as the game is fun, he doesn't care.

However, this player who was suspected of having a higher rating in the game was actually poisoned by his tentative poisoning, which he did not expect.

But soon, he felt that it was reasonable again.

After all, props such as the "transposition card" are rare props that he finally obtained in that life-gambling game. It is really hard to guard against things that can be quietly transferred from one's own hands to the target's.

Who would have thought that the first glass of water you drink when you enter the game is poisonous?

Therefore, this result is unexpected and reasonable.

He is not surprised that the other party survived. After all, he is a player with a higher rating than him, and he must have some rare items that he does not know. In addition, the poison he uses is the local poison of this world. The most poisonous, but after all, it is not so immediate.

"It would be great if I could get some poisons like cyanide, but unfortunately, I don't know the relevant refining knowledge, and I don't have enough time."

Li Wenfeng shook his head regretfully.

If there is highly toxic cyanide, it would be so troublesome to use it.

But it's a pity, firstly, he doesn't know the professional knowledge of cyanide, and secondly, he hasn't been in this game for a long time, so he can use the resources in his hands to figure out the identities and details of the princes who participated in the game. His own situation, as well as the current situation, are already considered good.

Any more would be a bit out of game balance.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be his turn to be the last one to enter the game.

"Forget it, this result is already very good. Although it failed to eliminate the opponent, it can be regarded as disabled. Just find another opportunity to kill it later."

Li Wenfeng didn't think about it any more, and began to concentrate on reading the book in his hand.

He also discovered early on that learning as much as possible in each game, transforming and improving his own attribute panel is the way to maximize the benefits of each game.

Therefore, he also focuses on learning things whenever he has time.

Just because of the poisoning incident, the capital might be in a state of turmoil in the next few days, making it difficult to act rashly.

So instead of wasting time, focus on learning something.

With such thoughts in mind, Li Wenfeng plunged into the sea of ​​books in the palace, focusing on learning all kinds of skills and martial arts that might exist in them.

Just like that, five days passed in a flash.

On this day, after Li Wenfeng finished his breakfast, he came to the study again.

Recently, he found a book of breathing methods in his study, and after practicing it for five days, his physical strength increased by 0.01!
This made him overjoyed.

The game time limit of this game is one year in the dungeon. According to the ratio of 24 to 1 between the game and reality, it is fifteen days in reality.

In addition to eating, drinking and lazing in reality, plus the struggle and competition in the game, he still has at least [-] days in the game to practice this breathing method.

And five days is 0.01, fifty days is 0.1, and two hundred days is 0.4. One game can increase the physical attribute in the attribute panel by 0.4, which is already very good!

Therefore, Li Wenfeng practiced very hard these days.

However, this time, it wasn't long before he started practicing when he came to the study.

suddenly!

A loud noise came from the courtyard outside.

Li Wenfeng, who was disturbed, frowned and wanted to get up and go out to scold him.

But before he got up, the door of the study was pushed open with a bang, and a man wearing an official uniform, an official hat, and a long beard, with a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, rushed in with a team of guards armed with knives. came in.

Then, the man shouted, "Eighth Prince, Song Renfeng was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case of the poisoning of the thirteenth prince. This time I came here to suspect that you were related to the poisoning and murder of the thirteenth prince. Please come with us!"

After hearing this, Li Wenfeng looked bewildered.

how come……

It's not a crime for him to be dazed, but Song Renfeng in front of him, how did the other party find him...

……

a day later.

The palace, the imperial study.

Song Renfeng stood in front of the desk, waiting neither humble nor overbearing.

The old emperor, who was full of imperial authority, sat upright in front of the dragon chair, examining the closing statement presented by Song Renfeng, with no sadness or joy on his face, and it was impossible to see what kind of mood he was in.

After a while, the old emperor of the Great Zhou slowly raised his head, looked at Song Renfeng, frowned and said, "Song Aiqing, are you sure that the Eighth Prince was really responsible for this case?"

He originally thought it was an outsider who poisoned the royal family, but it turned out that his eighth son killed the thirteenth son.

Another royal scandal.

And it's such a bad incident of brotherly killing each other!
He didn't want to believe it, but in Song Renfeng's closing statement, the investigation process, various clues, witnesses and material evidence were all clearly written, so it was hard for him not to believe it.

"Yes!"

Song Renfeng clapped his hands and replied, "My minister's investigation found that all clues point to the Eighth Prince, but..."

Having said that, a trace of doubt appeared on Song Renfeng's face.

Seeing this, the old emperor quickly asked, "Just what?!"

If possible, he really didn't want to believe that this happened to his son.

Therefore, when he heard Song Renfeng had doubts in his words, he immediately asked.

Hearing the old emperor's questioning, Song Renfeng frowned and said, "It's just that the investigation process went too smoothly."

"..."

The old emperor was expressionless.

Is this an invitation for credit?
Or show off?

It wasn't what he wanted to hear at all.

But it's a pity, maybe he has become more moody and ruthless all year round, making it hard to guess. Song Renfeng didn't notice that his emotions were wrong, and still frowned to himself and said: "Every clue can be investigated to the end, and every physical evidence can be investigated to the end." It can be discovered in time that every personal certificate is intact... To be honest, I have not encountered such a smooth case for a long, long time since I have been investigating the case for so many years!"

"yes."

After hearing this, the old emperor smiled subtly.

Song Renfeng was still immersed in his own doubts, and frowned: "It feels like... like there is an invisible hand controlling and guiding everything in the dark!"

"Oh?"

Hearing the old emperor here, he finally lifted his spirits, "What does Song Aiqing mean, is there something strange here?"

"Well, that's not it."

Song Renfeng was taken aback when he heard the old emperor's words, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "The story of the eighth prince's poisoning is basically true, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence. The official is just puzzled by the smooth investigation this time."

"……okay."

The old emperor waved his hand weakly, "Go down, I have to think about how to deal with this matter."

"Yes!"

Song Renfeng responded, and then withdrew from the imperial study.

Only the old emperor was left blankly looking at the closing statement in front of him, unable to make a decision for a long time.
