Chapter 564 "Chasing the Murder" (Part 2)Queen is Queen after all, even if she is fooled by a fool In the dark, she is still everyone's allegiance.
Daenerys' desire to find the real culprit and bring them to justice is so urgent that even if Igor has decided that the case is unsolved, the process steps that should be taken are still the same: under her direction and leadership , the top level of the land-grant army is responsible for the execution, and the two Queen special envoys co-organize and supervise... The poisoning investigation team has temporarily obtained the highest authority equivalent to the monarch, and the comprehensive investigation of the poisoner can be carried out throughout Winterfell without hindrance.
As the most crucial props and physical evidence in this drama, the series of perfect toxicological properties of "Stranger's Kiss" are an important basis for the implementation of the whole plan. However, although this poison is formulated by Qyburn and by the name of intrinsics, it is not his exclusive secret. Back then, what this energetic scholar wanted to study was actually a life-saving drug for the treatment of diseases, but he accidentally fiddled with it. An incredible poison, Qyburn, who was still calling himself an "excellent doctor" at that time, did not think much of it, but reported the invention according to the practice of Citadel, and reported the physical, chemical and toxicological properties of this new poison. It's all registered in the book...
This unintentional move has now become a huge loophole for Igor. If the source of the poison is concealed, it will be fooled for a while, and when it is found out by others, it will cause damage. rollover.
I couldn't stop it anyway, Igor simply used a simple and rude method to get around it: take the initiative to let Qyburn "recognize" the type of poison, and then "surprise to discover": in fact, this is his oneself's potion. stolen.
As a result, the scope and starting point of the investigation will be narrowed from "finding the source of the poison" to "tracking the identity of the drug thief" - in this way, the following things can follow the script logically. gone.
Igor's rough plan is roughly as follows:
[
After a separate cross-examination, the investigators will get two sets of testimonies: one is that the guards were two days before the incident. There were sightings of people loitering outside Qyburn Maester's room; the second group was - people in the same attire, had been seen by the cooking crew near the House Stark wine cellar and the Land Granter kitchen the day before the incident.
These two...no, exactly, the two batches of sightings have in common: the witnesses all claimed that the person they saw was serving in North style, and the suspected House Bolton was embroidered on the chest. peeling coat of arms.
Up to this point, all the unfavorable evidence points to House Bolton, but the investigation team leader Harvey will take the initiative to raise doubts: if the previous group saw House Bolton soldiers outside Qyburn Maester's room, It is understandable that when the latter group of people saw the same suspicious person outside the House Stark wine cellar again, the soldiers of House Bolton had already been framed by the "rape case" planned by Petyr and ordered by the Queen not to leave the camp without authorization!
An in-depth investigation would soon confirm his suspicions: no one from House Bolton had entered Winterfell through the gates, either the day before or the day it happened!
Either all the witnesses lied—the truth, but few would immediately think of it; or the land-grant army soldier guarding Winterfell didn't spot the thief who had sneaked over two city walls and one moat— - It's impossible; either - someone in the city is pretending to be a skinner and trying to blame Roose Bolton!
In order to convince everyone that it was the Third Type situation, a new turning point would appear immediately and incomparably: after a search of the castle inside and out, people would be in the first castle and the castle where Bran Stark fell. A newly emerged pile of ashes was found in the corner of the old courtyard where the remnant tower was located - half a suit of clothing with Skinner's coat of arms could still be vaguely seen in the just-burned residue.
Someone is destroying evidence!
Under the urging of this sense of urgency, a new round of investigation and search will be launched immediately, but unfortunately, no matter how much Winterfell digs upside down this time, no new witnesses and evidence can be found. (Of course, things that don't exist can't be found, and this doesn't even need to be faked), the investigation has entered a dead end here and has reached a deadlock... And in the original plan, everything went nowhere like this for two days, Igor He will "finally wake up", and drag the ill body to start to take charge of the overall situation, and calmly arrange the ending and ending for this good show.
]
The above is an assumption.
Although it is a bit hasty, the script has taken all aspects into consideration. As for those details that are not planned, you can think about it slowly when you pretend to be unconscious, or you can simply let the executor play it yourself...
…has the meaning of being a subordinate, doesn’t it mean that you don’t have to do everything yourself?
In a confrontation with an existence like Varys, it is a blessing to be able to win by the thunderous method. I want to wait until everything is ready and only owe the east wind to start, and try to achieve a perfect victory, the end will only be It's that the plan always goes wrong due to various "accidents", and there is no time to find it at the end of the day. In the end, it suffers and withdraws from the stage with hatred.
Incomplete planning will inevitably lead to accidents and problems. Everyone involved in the conspiracy is ready to deal with various unexpected situations, but did not think about it-in the end, the accident happens when anyone Unexpected stages appeared in ways they never expected.
......
The murderer who did not exist was found out!
Here's the thing: the first act of the original script was "investigating the source of poison", which of course had to be investigated from the chefs and service personnel such as serving dishes and pouring wine. Originally, this was just a cutscene, and the suspects under investigation would soon be ruled out-after all, Igor had already arranged that the source of the poison was "in the wine cellar, not the kitchen".
However, during the interrogation process, the executive soldiers found that some of the kitchen staff were behaving strangely, their eyes were dodging, and their words were hesitant, and they suddenly became suspicious.
It is true that the investigation is acting, but this is only known to the top leaders such as Igor and the investigation team leader Harvey. With their loyalty to Lord Commander and responsibility for the future of oneself, they are working diligently and diligently... If they catch a suspicious person, can they still not be caught and questioned?
As a result, the first act of the script is setback: a large number of innocent kitchen staff are arrested and severely tortured, and the investigation has gone in the "wrong" direction.
Igor originally thought that this was a case of unjust, false and wrongful convictions of the people under him, so he instructed Harvey to intervene and stop it. The strange thing was that before Harvey took action, the interrogation came to a conclusion, and he was arrested. The arresters did unanimously confess the same name: Mizedan.
The name is a bit unfamiliar, even Igor has heard it for the second time - the last time was two days ago, this person reported to the Unsullied Guard that Arya was wandering in the castle with a sword, resulting in the latter being mistakenly arrested time.
Compared with the Land Granters, Mizedan is considered to be from the Queen's side, but in fact Daenerys doesn't know this guy at all - he is a subordinate brought in by Varys, and his identity on the surface is Secretary and assistant to the Master of Whisperers. This man took advantage of the fact that Igor and Petyr's eyes and energy were focused on Varys a while ago, and secretly approached the lower-level personnel of the Land Grant Army. From bottom to top, he has unconsciously developed many people into him. friend"!
As soon as the land-grant side informed the Queen Guard Captain of the results of the trial, Black Shell immediately rushed over with an Unsullied ticket to arrest him.
Here comes the funny part: when Yizedan was arrested, he was dumping and destroying some bottles and jars - and these things were later tested by Queen's medics, and it was confirmed that most of them were of various kinds. poison!
As an assistant to the Master of Whisperers, it seems reasonable to have some poison. Just when both Harvey and Igor thought the accident was over, and were scrambling and thinking long and hard how to bring the situation back to the script's envisaged track, an even more exciting story unfolded: After being arrested by Unsullied, this man was unable to carry it in his cell. He was tortured, took poison sewn into his clothes, and successfully committed suicide. He didn't reveal the little bit message until his death!
The person who committed suicide did not use the poison to be destroyed, and there was no trace of the "Stranger's Kiss" in the poison to be destroyed. He did not admit any accusation or confessed any behind-the-scenes mastermind, but he committed suicide by taking such a poison. , and then the yellow mud fell into the crotch of the crotch - not shit but shit. If Igor hadn't clearly remembered that the oneself was the real murderer, just looking at the message on the surface, even he couldn't help believing that this was the poisoner who committed suicide after being caught.
＊＊＊
In the room where there were only two people left, the confused mastermind behind the scenes, Igor, who should have been unconscious, was sitting beside the bed in pajamas while drinking hot soup to replenish While listening to the report while watching the water and nutrition, I was confused because someone suddenly jumped out and grabbed the scene. For a while, I didn't know whether to be nervous or happy.
"We didn't participate in the arrest and interrogation of Nami."
"It's Yizedan, if the adults say that participation means 'hands-on', then Not at all." Harvey denied, "Following your instructions, we have divided the work with the Queen's Guard. We will investigate and arrest those who belong to the land grant, and Unsullied is responsible for the rest. What a bullshit. This man was arrested, tortured, and finally committed suicide. At most, the Land Granters were witnesses, and no one touched his hair. Even the prisoners’ meals were prepared by the Unsullied kitchen.”
"Very good." Igor nods silence, it is not only very good, it is very good - this way, Queen will never suspect that this person was framed by the land-grant side, and even kill a witness to them .
In fact, there really isn't. He was going to make this matter unsolved at first, and he didn't plan to frame it on anyone at all. From the very beginning witnesses to the later physical evidence and suicide after torture, the land-grant army from start to finish...not only did not have any idea of intervention, but also did not have the opportunity to do anything, it is really clear on this matter White did nothing.
But this is even more strange - since nothing has been done, is it possible that there is still a scapegoat in the sky?
How can there be such a good thing!
frowned, Igor calmed down and continued to ask about relevant details, and pieced together a large number of pieces of information obtained for comprehensive analysis, judgment and deduction, and soon, an action planned by the opponent, more than oneself A more detailed and huge bureau gradually surfaced.
Yonezadan bribed the kitchen staff, and what he wanted to do was to poison all the people at the dinner and drink when the North princes gathered in Castle Cerwyn came to the Queen's allegiance in winter!
At first Igor couldn't figure out how Varys was going to get out after he was poisoned, but soon came back to his senses: Destruction is always easier than construction, and bad things are easier than doing things, Varys is different from oneself, he is not the actual castle The controller does not control one party's power, and he doesn't care how much the Queen's power is damaged (in fact, the bigger the better), he doesn't have to think about how to get rid of the suspicion at all. In the original plan of this eunuch, it may be that oneself, Petyr, House Stark and a group of North princes are all poisoned to death. At that time, the North people will suspect that the Queen is engaged in the feast at hongmen, the Land Granters think that House Stark is revenge for breaking the city, and the Unsullied Guards are busy protecting the Queen from the chaos... Inside and outside the castle will become a chaos. With a pot of porridge, who has the mind and ability to track down the murderer?
Once this is done, not only will the Queen lose the support of North and the land grant in an instant, but the original rival Petyr will also be eliminated smoothly. In the absence of competition, Varys will play both the role of Master of Whisperers and Prime Minister. Now, the alliance and combination of Daenerys, who has lost a lot of strength, and little Aegon, who has a golden group, is a sure thing!
Igor and Petyr had long suspected that Varys would take advantage of this lord meeting to do something, but didn't expect, this eunuch was thinking far more than just doing something, but took a big step forward, Decided to do it all in one go!
That Mi Zedan, who had committed suicide by poisoning, was not an innocent pond fish at all, he was just a hapless jerk who was one step late in the poisoning. I got the blame for Igor, who was the first to strike!
