Chapter 436: The Head Is Missing
Hearing that Imilo wanted to kill someone and interrogate the corpse.
Greco paused in his argument, and then he seemed to explode, shouting: "Imilo, you are crazy, I am the leader of Treasure Island."
"The association has no right to deal with me privately, Imilo, you must follow the association's procedures."
"The Treasure Island will not let you go when the time comes."
Greco spoke quickly, and seeing that no one on the opposite side spoke, his expression began to become fearful.
Imilo is in charge of Treasure Island, he is not an ordinary resident deacon. If he said he would kill someone and interrogate the corpse, then he would really kill someone.
Wu Heng waved his hand, and the skeleton Ke Ranmu drew his sword and stepped forward.
"Okay, okay, you win, I admit that I did this, I am willing to pay enough compensation to make up for this, just say what you want to ask."
Greco said anxiously, his eyes glancing at the opposite side.
Seeing that the skeleton's feet did not stop.
Instantly jumped up, broke free from the team members who were holding him, and was about to hold one of them hostage.
But Keranmu was faster.
The long sword slashed out, and the cold light cut through the neck.
Greco's face changed drastically, and he covered his neck tightly with both hands, and blood gushed out from his fingers.
Then, he staggered and knelt on the ground, and struggled to squeeze out a broken voice, "Save me, I was wrong, save me, I will tell you everything..."
The people in the association on the opposite side just watched coldly.
Waiting for him to die little by little. The body fell to the ground.
Wu Heng walked forward and released [Talk to the Dead].
The fallen corpse sat up again, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
Wu Heng asked directly: "Besides you, who else was involved in this matter?"
The corpse said hoarsely, "Vitagis."
Wu Heng frowned.
A new name appeared again.
Wu Heng thought for a moment, then asked, "Why do you want to kill me?"
The corpse replied, "Your bounty outside is very high, and I owe you a sum of money. As long as you die, Vitagis can help me get the bounty outside."
Blank envelope!
It is indeed related to this matter.
Wu Heng and other investigators took notes and continued to ask, "Who is this Vitagis?"
"An official from the City Hall."
Wu Heng asked, "How can he get the money?"
"I don't know."
There is only one question left.
Wu Heng could only ask, "Where does he live?"
"Snowburn Street, East 153 Mansion."
After five questions, the corpse lay back down.
"Take the body back." Yimi Luo ordered, and continued, "It's not time for work at the City Hall yet. You two go directly to the residence to arrest people, and when the guards arrive, bring them to the association."
"Yes!" The two nodded.
The body was put away, and everyone left the ship.
...
In the carriage.
Xilagui took off her helmet and put it aside. "Treasure Island is really not a good place. The commander in charge of public security killed the deputy deacon of the association for gambling debts. This will become a joke if it gets out."
"Yeah, I didn't expect this result."
Wu Heng didn't expect that the commander of the guard did it.
But from the development of the whole thing, it is more logical that the other party is the commander of the guard.
Otherwise, people would not be kidnapped so easily.
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened." Xilagui looked at him and continued, "In the future, if there is such a thing again, remember to take the association team with you. It's dangerous for you, a mage, to go out alone."
"I will be more careful next time."
Wu Heng agreed, but he didn't think so in his heart.
After all, he has a lot of secrets. He has ghost reconnaissance and can call out the skeleton army. It's actually more convenient not to bring people.
Seeing Xilagui stopped talking.
Wu Heng said, "Why didn't you believe in our first-level reward last time?"
When we killed the Devil's Hand Pirates, we received a total of six second-level merits.
At that time, the quality of the rewards was average and the quantity was insufficient.
So I listened to the advice of 'Imilo' and applied for one first-level merit for six people.
According to the quality and rarity of the rewards, the first-level merit is definitely a rare treasure.
However, after a period of time, the rewards did not come, and Imilo did not mention this matter again.
"I don't know, maybe the process is complicated. Let's wait a little longer. An association can't be short of the rewards of our two deputy deacons." Xilagui said softly.
That's right, and there is no better way.
"Well, you're right."
Then, the two continued to chat about some things on the island.
The carriage gradually slowed down.
The team that followed came over and said, "Two deputy deacons, we're here."
The two opened the door and walked out directly.
...
On one side, there is a mansion.
The team members gathered around and all gathered at the door.
Xilagui held the hilt of the sword with one hand, "Knock on the door."
Dong, dong, dong~!
A member stepped forward and knocked hard on the door.
Soon, footsteps were heard, and a middle-aged man looked over.
When he saw the members of the association gathered outside the door, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What's the matter?"
Xilagui looked him up and down, "Whose residence is this?"
"The property of Master Vitagis."
"Where are they?" Xilagui pushed him away and asked as he walked in with the others.
The man walked quickly in front and blocked them, "My master is an official of the city hall. It's not polite to break in like this."
Xilagui waved her hand, and someone immediately grabbed the man and stopped the guards who surrounded him.
The remaining few people entered the residence and began to check.
The living room was empty, and several young maids stood aside a little stiffly.
Then, they began to search upstairs floor by floor.
"There's a person here." A team member's voice came from the bedroom on the fourth floor.
Everyone went upstairs quickly.
Before reaching the fourth floor, a strong smell of blood came to their faces.
Quickly walked into the room and looked inside.
The curtains in the bedroom were closed, the light was dim, and a fat figure was lying naked on the bed.
There was only the body, and the head was gone.
Blood dripped down the sheets.
It gathered into a bright red stream on the ground.
Is the person dead?
Died on the way they came?
After the corpse got the news, they rushed over immediately.
"Bring someone up and identify the identity." Xilagui said to the people below.
The middle-aged man who had just opened the door was brought up. Seeing the headless body, he stepped back several steps and almost fell down the stairs.
"Master, how did the master die?"
"Is he 'Vitagis'?" Xilagui asked.
"Yes, yes."
The middle-aged man answered tremblingly.
