Chapter 137 Clearing Suspicion

Qin Weijie, Tom and Emma followed Desmond towards the alley.

Seeing Qin Weijie following, Desmond frowned: "Why are you following me?"

"Hey, Captain, you also said that I am also a member of the Knights of the Round Table. In order to clear the suspicion quickly, I'd better follow you to investigate. More people have more power."

Desmond was choked by Qin Weijie and could not speak, so he could only let Qin Weijie follow.

Entering the alley, Pierce is directing the investigation.

It has to be said that Pierce is indeed an experienced Auror. His protection of the crime scene can be said to be impeccable and his investigation is extremely professional.

"I am Desmond Carvis, Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Strategic Deployment. Where are the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic? Now I will take over the command of the Auror investigation."

Pierce turned to look at Desmond, slightly startled. He did not expect that the Ministry of Magic would send out a great god to investigate this matter.

With Pierce's political sensitivity in the Ministry of Magic for many years, Pierce also smelled something unusual at this time. It seemed that the identity of this dead magical diplomat was extremely special, otherwise the Magical Strategic Deployment Office would not have been directly dispatched.

"Director Carvis, the Ministry of Magic has dispatched a total of six Aurors. Four of them went to investigate the magical fluctuations within half a mile of the area. The remaining two have just deployed the 'tracing sand'. Unfortunately, the murderer was extremely cautious and erased all "Xunjisha" failed to lock the aura clues," Pierce said, "The two Aurors are checking the body now."

Desmond nodded. At this moment, two Aurors quickly stepped forward to report the progress of the investigation to Desmond. Before he could speak, Desmond asked: "Who deployed the operation? They performed very well. , I had already made the correct response before I came.”

The two Aurors scratched their heads in embarrassment and said weakly that it was Pierce who directed the investigation.

Desmond couldn't help but look at Pierce: "Well, he is a talent. Are you interested in joining the Punishment Knights?"

"Damn, you stupid big man, you are poaching me!" Qin Weijie suddenly blocked in front of Desmond, protecting Pierce behind him: "You know that in order to let Pierce be my bodyguard, I have to spend a lot of time every year. But it cost 200,000! You are so blatantly poaching, you are not very particular!"

"What a pity. Those politicians from the Ministry of Magic gave away a piece of jade to others for nothing. What a pity!" Desmond said and looked at Pierce again: "You should think about it. The Punishment Knights welcome you at any time."

"Sorry, Pierce can't go anywhere for at least the next five years. We have already signed a five-year contract!"

"Then let's talk about it in five years!"

Desmond said, no longer paying attention to Qin Weijie's shouting, but looked at the two Aurors beside him to signal them to report the progress.

"The deceased Diploch, a magic diplomat of the Ottoman Empire, a vampire, count, 329 years old, died around 5:30 this afternoon, no more than an hour. The cause of death was that black magic penetrated the heart and the head was blown."

"Hmph, it seems that the murderer is very skilled. He knows the weaknesses of the vampires. Only by destroying the brain and heart can the vampires die... You said that black magic penetrates the heart. Please explain the specific situation." Desmond continued to ask.

"The heart of the deceased was penetrated, and there were obvious burn marks around the wound. The burn marks showed signs of decay in a short time, so we concluded that it was black magic. As for the magic of crushing the head, it cannot be used because the head has been blown open. Determine what magic it is."

Desmond nodded and walked towards Diploge's body.

Although Qin Weijie knew that Diploge was dead, this was the first time Qin Weijie came into contact with Diploge's body.

The death scene of Diploge can be said to be extremely tragic. His head was missing, blood and brain matter spurted out all over the wall, his heart was penetrated by a sharp weapon, and there were obvious burn marks around the wound. The most amazing thing was that the burned rotten The meat had begun to rot and gave off a foul odor.

"Devil's Flame..." Desmond knelt down and groped for a moment on the corpse, looked at the penetrating wound on his chest and murmured, then turned to look at Qin Weijie: "How many kinds of black magic do you have?"

"Huh?" Qin Weijie looked at Desmond with some confusion: "There seem to be quite a few, but they are only limited to mastering and being able to use them, but their power and effect are average. The most commonly used black magic is probably 'Poison Mist', 'Devil's Whisper', and then the use of the power of death."

The power of the God of Death is no longer a secret. As the descendants of the God of Death, it is normal for the Foley family to master the power of the God of Death, but hiding it in front of Desmond would arouse suspicion.

Desmond said no more and turned to look at the blood spurting on the wall: "The head was not blown off, but was crushed hard. It should be similar to the 'Grip of the Void' or the 'Devil' Hands' magic."

As he spoke, Desmond looked at Pierce, who was investigating carefully: "Tell me what you think."

Pierce glanced at Qin Weijie, who shrugged nonchalantly and told Pierce to just answer truthfully.

"Judging from the entire scene, there was no violent conflict between the murderer and the deceased. There are two possibilities. The first murderer attacked the deceased in a sneak attack, so the deceased did not have time to respond with a single blow, so no violent conflict broke out.

The second possibility is that the strength gap between the two parties is too large. The deceased is no match for the murderer. All means were suppressed by the murderer, resulting in no conflict. "

Desmond nodded and continued, "Which possibility do you prefer?"

Pierce pondered for a moment and said, "The second one."

"What about you, brat? Which one do you prefer?" Desmond turned his head and looked at Qin Weijie.

"The second possibility is more likely." Qin Weijie answered truthfully.

"Tell me your reasons."

Qin Weijie rolled his eyes at Desmond. Damn, can I tell you that I used the 'Blood Eye of Death' to see the remnants of space confinement and traces of Apparition? If I told you, you would have to take me back and slice me up for research!

Qin Weijie reached out and took out the space-blocking prop 'Golden Plate' from his arms, After fiddling with it for a few times, he said, "I am familiar with the golden plate, so I can sense that space confinement props should have been used nearby."

"And I found from the several sets of footprints at the scene that the deceased should have tried to escape before he died."

Qin Weijie pointed to a row of footprints on the ground, which were Diplochi's footprints: "From the footprints, Diplochi should have tried to escape from the alley before he died, but he was attacked by the murderer near the exit and died instantly."

As he was speaking, two Aurors who had not interrupted for a long time spoke up: "Mr. Cavis, Through the "tracking sand", the deceased had tried to Apparate before his death, but the range of movement was only about one meter. As for the murderer's trajectory... the other party erased all traces of his existence, not even leaving footprints on the ground. "

Desmond nodded and looked at Qin Weijie: "You can go, brat! The preliminary investigation can temporarily clear your suspicion. After all, with your strength, even with your two friends, it is impossible to crush the deceased with one blow. You leave first, and your bodyguard Pierce stays first. I am not good at investigating cases and need his help. "
