"So you were the one who found the body, kid. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Children?
Lines had never heard others call himself like this, and most of them were called "little ghosts" and "kids", and he didn't react for a while.
Tyrone, who was next to him, gave Lines a gentle nudge, which relieved him.
"Ah...... Ah yes, Mr. Sheriff, I wanted to go to the toilet and when I opened the door I found ...... Found....... ”
As he spoke, Lines also pretended to be very scared and cried.
Tyrone next to him shook his head.
Although there is nothing wrong with Raines's performance in ordinary people's eyes, it is not even a passing grade in his eyes, that is, the sheriff in front of him only treats him as a child, and if you observe it a little, you can see many flaws, such as such a child has no tear stains and crying traces next to his eyes after seeing this kind of scene.
"Besides, what about other people who found their bodies?"
At this time, he looked around, and a little girl with red eyes raised her hand weakly, and her mother kept comforting her daughter beside her.
"Are these two kids the only one...... It's nerve-wracking?"
Blemon touched his forehead with his hand.
"So, do you have any other clues to ......?"
"If anyone sees the murderer, then you don't have to worry about it. ”
At this time, Yasuo next to him interrupted Blemon's words in a strange way.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
Yasuo sneered, crouched down, and lightly tapped the blood on the ground with his hand.
"The blood stains have not dried, indicating that the deceased will not have died for more than an hour at all, judging from the clothes on the deceased's body, as well as the long yellow hair and green pupils, it should be a nobleman on the west coast of Demacia. ”
As he spoke, Yasuo took out the inner pocket of the corpse on the ground, and looked at the marks of strangulation on the middle finger of the corpse.
"The deceased's wallet and ring on his hand were removed, and the wounds on his body showed that this may have been an incident of murder for money. ”
Listening to Yasuo's words, Brammon's face was a little unbearable, but he had to admire Yasuo's observation.
"Then you say, who is the murderer?"
"Who's the murderer? Aren't you a sheriff, why are you asking me?"
"You ......"
Bremont's eyes widened, but he couldn't speak.
"Anyway, ask the tavern owner first. ”
Yasuo then pointed at the tavernkeeper over there with the hilt of his sword.
"Do you know the deceased?"
When the tavern owner heard this, he looked at Blemon hesitantly, lest he might offend the sheriff by saying the wrong thing.
"Say!"
Although he was very dissatisfied with Yasuo in his heart, Bramont still had to admit that Yasuo's ability was stronger than his own, besides, if this guy really solved the case, not only would he save effort, but also have merit.
The tavern owner began to recall that since the rooms in this tavern were all on the second floor, there were only five in total, so the owner knew who was staying there.
"I remember...... This guest had come here from Demacia, but had been hiding in his room since yesterday and didn't know what he was doing. ”
Hearing this, Yasuo raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure that this person didn't come out of the guest room during the day?"
"That's right, because there's only one staircase from the second floor to the first floor, and I've been at the counter next to the stairs, so I'll be aware of whether someone is coming down the stairs or going up from the downstairs. ”
Hearing this, Yasuo nodded.
"That'...... Is there any suspicious person going upstairs tonight? ”
"No, because the upstairs rooms are full, no one has been up since closing. ”
In this way, the murderer cannot be an outsider. ”
At this time, the sheriff also reacted.
"If an outsider wants to kill the dead, he must go up the stairs, and the tavern owner says that he didn't see anyone going up, so the murderer could only be the guests on the second floor of the tavern. ”
At this time, the people gathered outside were suddenly startled, and then lowered their heads, for fear that they would be suspected.
Brian asked, looking around.
"Well, you've heard what you just said, tell who you are and what you're doing, so as not to get yourself suspicious. ”
Hearing this, the mother who was holding the girl spoke first.
"I ...... I was going to flee from Zaun to Demacia, but I was just going to spend the night here, but I didn't expect ......"
"What were you doing? Have you ever been to this toilet?"
Yasuo asked in a kind tone as best he could.
"I ...... I had just been sleeping in the house and I heard my daughter screaming. ”
After saying that, she hugged the little girl who was still crying in her arms again.
"Sir, I can attest to this. ”
At this moment, a small-looking man on the side spoke.
"Oh, who are you?"
After listening to Yasuo's words, the thin man took two steps forward with some cringe, lowered his head and changed his mouth.
"I'm a circus intern clown, but I just got fired from the head of the troupe yesterday and I'm going to go back to my hometown to farm after staying overnight. ”
Yasuo nodded, signaling that he understood.
"And what do you mean by saying you can prove it?"
"My room is right next to this toilet, plus the toilet door shaft is not very good, and every time it is opened, it makes a loud noise, so if someone opens the toilet door, I will notice. ”
Speaking of this, the clown was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
"Yes...... But when I came out tonight to find the body, I heard the sound of the door opening......"
Only the sound of a door opening?
"Are you sure?"
At this time, Yasuo's expression became a little ugly, as if he had heard something incredible.
"Yes...... Yes, I wasn't in a good mood because I was fired, and I was in the room in a daze all the time, and if there was a sound, I would definitely notice it first. ”
"Hmph, what a fuss. ”
At this time, Brian glanced at Yasuo with disdain and snorted coldly.
"Since there is only one time, it means that it must be the murderer......"
At this point, Brian seemed to notice that something was wrong, and became hesitant in the middle of speaking.
"Hey, Joker, you mean you didn't hear a door open until you heard a scream?"
"Yes...... Yes, I'm sure. ”
The clown seemed to be frightened by the attitude of the two, but still insisted on his own statement.
"If what you say is true......"
Yasuo said this as he pointed to someone next to the door.
"So from the closing time to the present, I'm afraid you're the only one who has entered the bathroom. ”
The moment Yasuo pointed at him, Lines felt as if he was being pressed against the center of his eyebrows by a sharp blade.
"Boy, do you feel a little itchy around your waist?"
At this time, Hadias's ill-intentioned voice came, and Lines subconsciously touched his waist, and when he screamed, something seemed to fall from his waist.
When Lines saw what it was, his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
What fell was actually a bloody dagger.
