Chapter 262 Detective Roland

"There is only one truth! The real murderer of Jack is you! His new wife Rose!"

I pointed loudly at the little woman who was sobbing in the arms of the aunt, and the other villagers in the room were shocked and disbelieving. In their minds, this young couple had just been newly married, and they were glued together all day long, and their relationship was extremely good.

Jack was killed suddenly, and Rose was the most heartbroken. She had cried to the end several times, how could it be her.

"The evidence is the cause of Jack's death. The knife wound on his neck was not a real fatal injury, nor was the black and blue handprint on his neck. The ashen complexion is the key. He died of poisoning! The handprint on his neck was just His desperation yearns for breathless action. The gaping doors and windows and the missing necklace are but a sham for the robber's entry."

"Evidence? The evidence is the half bottle of poison we found in your backyard! Rose, do you dare to show me your tableware? There must be poison residue on it. Don't tell me that all the dishes have fallen !"

Obviously, the logic of this reasoning is not rigorous, but Rose is not a wealthy daughter with an elite education, she is just a little village girl who has never seen the world, I suddenly yelled at her and shook the medicine bottle in front of her Shaking, he panicked all of a sudden and vented his frustration.

"...I didn't do it on purpose, I just frightened him, whoever told him to take my dowry to gamble, the family has already been unable to open the pot... Woohoo, who knew that the poison-rat-qiang would actually kill him. "

Well, the final cause of poor Mr. Jack's death has also been found out, and it turned out to be the necessary rat poison for murder.

"Even if I lost all my dowry, it's fine, he...he actually cheated. It's still with the little Carl from the jewelry store next door. Hee hee. Jack actually had an affair with Carl for three years. Marrying me just for Cover up, so I made him never be able to see him."

Well, Carl seems to be a male name. It seems that Jack has a special taste, but looking at Rose who was crying and laughing, he gritted his teeth and smiled angrily. That smile was obviously hysterical. . While lamenting that the amount of information is too large, I still have some other sighs.

"It seems that to this Comrade Jack, the same sex is true love, and heterosexuality is just instinct. How can you fall in love with different genders... No, just died of heterosexuality in less than three months. "

But for us who are just outsiders, this is enough. After that, we will teach the locals to solve it, but the commission to find the murderer can be completed so quickly. I'm still very proud of it.

"The case will be solved miraculously in two hours, starting from today. Please call me Detective Luo Luo!"

"...you still need to say,

Who doesn't know that this woman is a murderer. It's just you wasting time alone, looking for evidence everywhere, having so much fun. "

Well, on the wooden table over there, the smaller cat clan thieves are fiddling with the cat ears on their heads unhappily, and the brownish-yellow cat tail is also drooping weakly. It seems that the new catwoman thief Heloy Silk is also unhappy with her new identity and equipment.

"Nonsense! I have watched more than 300 episodes of Conan and Kindaichi's methods, and I understand at least 2,000 methods of killing and motives for committing crimes, which you guys can easily see through. Hmph, the wisdom of mortals."

"...You seem to have forgotten that I was the one who taught you the magic of undead. The resentment of the dead is all entangled in that woman. Even if you don't use spiritism, his remnant soul is still screaming in the room. It's so clear at a glance. Remember to do a spirit exorcism ceremony later, or there may be resentful spirits."

Can you still play like this? I opened my mouth in amazement. I had forgotten this trick. It seems that the detective profession in the wizarding world is really not easy to mix. Necromancers are sure to investigate murder cases when they are policemen. It is really fierce to steal jobs, but others But it also continued to undermine my confidence as a detective.

"...the dead man's lips still smelled of poison, and the woman also had it on her hand. The smell is very fresh, probably more than two hours ago."

The arch druid with a wry smile touched his nose, but I could see the pride hidden under his seemingly calm face. As a shapeshifting druid, what kind of strength of a bear, speed of a leopard, dog? In front of him, their noses were all pediatrics. What they were playing with was the strength of the sub-dragon, the speed of the griffin, and the sense of smell of the shadow wolf. This level of poisoning can be clearly seen after a little sniff.

And when my gaze was cast on Coros who was eager to try... I turned my head without saying a word, how could I not know that, as a judge who specializes in judgment and a high-ranking priest of the God of Law, sin There is nothing to hide in front of her. It is estimated that even lie detection and other magic spells are not needed. A conviction spell can solve all problems.

"Your Highness, Xiaoyu told me that she saw the woman drugging. He and his wives severely condemn this vicious act."

If you don't mention that Xiaoyu is a sparrow, even sparrows can be turned back these days. Sad Feng's simple and honest smile is really deceiving, but to me, the team in front of me is probably only Yawen and Cohen didn't know the ins and outs of the matter. After all, they were cannon fodder with useless intelligence values... hand-to-hand combat professions.

"...Do you think lying in front of the real dragon is effective?" This is Xiaohong who made up the knife casually.

"Your Highness, the daily training also includes this simple criminal investigation. We dark elves also have a certain amount of research on poisons. From the moment we saw the corpse, we probably knew it very well."

Seeing that I seemed depressed, the always honest Yawen seemed a little embarrassed, but she would not lie to fool me.

The little apprentice Cohen did not speak, but nodded in agreement with my reasoning, but as a poor boy born in a peasant family, as a wonderful knight whose intelligence value is more than twice his strength value, he found that there was only half a bottle left when he entered the door. pesticides, and saw these clues.

But the master has to give me face, and for me, this lame fake exclamation expression and an over-stretched nod of approval are the most powerful supplements. Makes me even more ashamed.

"Magic or something. It's so annoying! Just turn to the back pages of detective novels and spoilers to see the real culprit. It's evil. A detective never needs magic! All we need is keen observation and imagination. You can't do it all together." Do you use logical reasoning based on testimony and clues to push the prisoner into a corner step by step?"

Everyone's face was full of surprise "Don't have magic and divine skills, why bother so much", which made me feel even more ashamed. It turned out that my reasoning from the beginning to the end was superfluous, so the impulse to cry turned into practical actions.

"...I hate this unscientific world the most! This makes famous detectives mess up. You guys play detective games and just look at the strategy!"

Seeing Rose being taken away by the villagers, the mayor of the small town, Old Bob, finally felt relieved. But no matter how chaotic the scene is, the rare murder case in Buga town has been solved, which is really gratifying. As for the mage captain who is drawing circles in the corner... Cough, the mage profession has always been special. It was probably some strange celebration, Bob wisely pretended not to see it.

"Goose rice tofu, the poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the middle land to pray to the Buddha in the west. These are my three apprentices and the mount. The leader is the black dragon horse. He has just learned to walk on his own. He is not allowed to ride during the rebellious period. Black The elf of the skin is the three apprentices Drifting. The one with the hooked nose is the strong man and the pig Wuneng who can turn into a pig. Big apprentice...Heloise, can you change into a monkey? I!"

From the self-introduction he just met, the old village head felt that this noble mage seemed to have been hit by a meteorite in the head, and his brain was very big.

He didn't understand what he said, and he didn't seem to listen to what he said, but it seems that people can't judge by appearances, and the rumors that mages are getting more and more crazy are actually true. It was obviously just a short time ago, and it was less than two hours. The case is broken.

It is very strange that a murder occurred in a town that has always been peaceful. He has also suffered a lot of pressure and attention when entrusting a new adventurer to investigate the murder, especially the members of this adventure team are very strange, including orcs, half-dragons, and elves. , Druids, and humans all have it, which is weird and seems very unreliable.

But now the facts have proved his choice, all the witnesses and material evidence are available, and the prisoner has confessed honestly, and naturally it has become an iron case that can be confessed to the villagers. Thanks to the members of

And when Roland recovered from his depression, the fifteen silver coins earned by solving the case had been turned into today's sumptuous dinner and two weeks' hotel accommodation expenses. Although it was still not much, it was already the largest amount in a month. A sum came in.

Different from the waves of epics and legendary novels, the real adventure team is like this, especially the ordinary adventurers in the relatively peaceful Central Plains, who spend most of their time on errands helping Charlie’s family find dogs and sending love letters to little Laidley Repeatedly during the mission, it is better to say that they are adventurers, or a group of hourly temporary workers who are hired.

Some people become adventurers for the exciting adventure career, but in fact, the task of slaying dragons and demons is very rare, and the requirements for strength are also very high. A top-level adventure group capable of doing this kind of task, even if it happens by accident When encountering such a super-difficult task, it is also necessary to consider whether the investment and harvest are cost-effective.

For the Kingdom of Lagos, which has been at peace for so many years, the country is already very peaceful. Even a group of goblins appearing on the border is a major threat. Even the Royal Knights will rush to earn some honor and military exploits. Domestic adventurers I can't even look at it, mercenaries and adventurers with a little bit of pursuit will consider making a living in other countries.

Of course, if you are in an area with constant wars, where the adventurers and mercenaries are even stronger than the army, they grow up fighting monsters every day, and even dare to take on war missions. There are several from the mercenary king to the real king , that is a completely different matter.

Relying on commissions alone is obviously not enough. Most of the income still depends on the spoils of missions. There are not a few people who steal sheep and eat enemies and eat employers. Therefore, adventurers and mercenaries have a bad reputation, especially freshman adventurers who are not well-known. They are not trustworthy models without credibility.

Therefore, most adventure groups will accumulate their own reputation and reputation. Quests with a little higher level will also make requirements for the level and reputation of the adventure group. Not everyone can take it.

Old Bob chose the unknown silver coin adventure group only because this kind of murder among farmers is doomed to be fruitless, and the commissions that the town can give are pitiful, and the big mercenary group and senior adventurers I didn't like it at all, so I let this group of young people try it, but I didn't expect to solve the case all at once, which is also a surprise.

But for me, choosing this border town close to the Bayer Empire was also the result of a careful choice.

There are mountains here, and the Elohim Mountains stretch for thousands of kilometers. Every week, mountain people come out of the mountains to venture into the world. It is obviously a good career to become an adventurer who can support himself with hard work, so the adventurers here Identity verification is relatively easy, and it is impossible for inspectors to go into the mountains to check household registration. Groups of fellow villagers are also common, but there are not many adventurers who choose to live in peaceful towns without oil and water.

For the silver coin adventure group, the large number of new populations means that fake identities are easy to do. The small resident population and lax management can save a lot of trouble. The silver coin team can run in the small town a little bit, adjust and imitate the local It is also convenient to do business in several surrounding countries.

For me, the epic mission is triggered at the Cloud Tower in the Kingdom of Mage, which is obviously an important mission node, but I have no idea of ​​going directly, instead of going to the Bayer Empire to see the legendary gate of the undead plane, I am a little uneasy. In order to make a more accurate judgment, it is very necessary to sneak in and see for myself.

I originally planned to directly sneak into the Beyer Empire, but the strict and deformed official management mechanism for adventurers and the registration mechanism for mages are obviously a big trouble. He chose the route of saving the country with curves.

The Kingdom of Largos is not considered a powerful country, but due to the kinship relationship between the two royal families, it has a good relationship with the neighboring country of Bayer, and the people of the two countries have a lot of exchanges. The main road is not far away, the official tolls and hotels are too expensive, and there are many senior merchants who want to rest in houses and small shops a little further away.

My idea is also very simple. Since there are business contacts, the opportunity to recruit guards is naturally indispensable. When you meet a rich Bayer businessman with a strong enough status, find a suitable opportunity, show enough strength properly, and just mix in.

The more powerful the gate of the plane is, the bigger it will be. Once it is activated, the elemental fluctuations will be more obvious, and I can't hide it. I may be able to achieve my expected investigation goal by walking around with the merchant.

"But waiting is really boring. I have already found the kitten for Catherine next door six times. Why don't you just make a cat meat hot pot, or send Heloise over to appease the cat who feeds the cat bones and eats every day?" Silly kid with lollipops."

Since the situation in the Northland is going well, and my time is not in a hurry, I am somewhat enjoying the happy days like vacation.

Of course, because the ethnic composition of this adventure group is too mottled, wantonly spending more money than earning, in the end the adventure group was regarded by the villagers as a second-rate mage born from a rich family, with bodyguards (strong man Storm Eagle), concubines ( elves), pets (a catwoman continues to bite), the story of the second year of wandering is completely understandable.

And several weeks have passed, and Xiaohong has already finished the last drink in this town, and all the tasks posted in the town have been swiped and swiped again, the right opportunity and merchants have not yet been encountered, but another The promised object came to the door by himself.

"Lilith? Why are you here so soon, Emily?" (To be continued...) ()
