Santana Chapter 93 The Eighth Man
"One, two, three"
There were three corpses outside the door of the restaurant, yes, it should be someone who hurriedly ran out of the restaurant after discovering that someone had invaded, but what I didn't expect to encounter was the earth knight Qu Leiton, who was killed as soon as he left the door of the restaurant.
"One, Two, Three, Four"
There were four bodies of women in the dining room, and two by two combined, as Barney said, there were seven bodies in total.
After confirming this, Cohen turned his gaze to the table and counted the number of seats.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. ”
How can it be eight seats and only seven people eat?
"Cohen, you're here too. ”
Cohen, who was thinking about it, noticed that someone had come in, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Cardinal Quleton.
Seeing that Cardinal Quleton was the only one who came in, Cohen directly opened his mouth and expressed the doubts in his heart.
Cardinal Quleton didn't think there was anything unusual about this, and said, "It's possible that one of them went first." ”
Cohen came in and checked this place, and there was a kitchen at the back of the restaurant, except for the one who came in and was about to leave after dealing with it.
There was one person who left first, which is perhaps the best explanation.
Cohen didn't dwell on this issue, and looked at Cardinal Quleton for a long time before he mustered up the courage to say another thought in his heart: "I think these four women should be just prostitutes, not people from the Blood Temple, so you don't have to kill them." ”
"I didn't kill them, they were dead when I came in, they were killed by the people of the Blood Temple. ”
Hearing Cardinal Quleton's reply, Cohen said without thinking: "This is impossible, I have checked the three people who fell outside the door, and the weapons in their hands are not stained with blood, and the four prostitutes in here were killed by sharp blades." ”
Cohen looked at the eight seats at the table and said thoughtfully, "That's only one explanation, there's another person here." ”
"But I checked when I came in, and there was no one else, and there were no other exits here. ”
"I think it's necessary to double-check this place. ”
The two looked at each other, said nothing more, and carefully checked in the dining room and kitchen.
Soon, Cardinal Quleton made a discovery in the kitchen and shouted, "Cohen, come and see here." ”
Cohen came to the kitchen from the dining room and saw Qu Leiden standing in front of a cabinet with an open door, Cohen asked puzzledly, "This is a cabinet for miscellaneous items, what's so special?"
"Look at the ground. ”
The whole kitchen was paved with stone slabs, and Cohen didn't see anything, and looked at Quleyton suspiciously, trying to get an answer from him.
"You can see that the stone slabs on the floor are the brightest in the straight line from the doorway to this cabinet, and it is evident that people often go back and forth from here. ”
"There's only a cabinet for miscellaneous items here, and it's stuff that you don't use very often, what do you always do back and forth in front of this cabinet?"
"Maybe there's something else hidden here, get out of the way. ”
An invisible coercion emanated from Qu Leiton's body, and as the fighting spirit condensed more and more, this sense of oppression became more and more intense, and Cohen knew that this was the rhythm of an imminent attack, and Cohen took a few steps back.
Qu Leiden used the simplest and crudest way to prove his inference, and directly punched the cabinet, and after a loud bang, the cabinet and the wall behind it were instantly blasted to pieces, and a large black hole appeared in front of the two.
The cave was pitch black, and it could only be seen that it was leading underground, and the musty smell of the humid air was pouring out of the ground, and Cohen couldn't help but cover his nose.
There is indeed a secret passage here, which can explain why there are only seven people in the restaurant when there are eight seats in the restaurant, and it is clear who the four prostitutes are who they are.
There was an eighth man here, who had killed the four prostitutes before Quleton could storm and fled through the passage.
A ball of light rose up and entered the cave under the control of Queleton, revealing the scene inside the passage.
The passage that allowed two people to pass at the same time continued downward, and after about thirty meters there was a corner, and then it was impossible to see below.
Cohen looked at Quleyton, and was about to ask if he wanted to go in now, when he saw a group of people rushing in, and the loud noise just now attracted a lot of attention, and they all ran over to see what was happening to the tank.
When they found out about the situation here, they were all surprised and exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that there is a passage here." ”
"Cardinal Quleton is so powerful that he can even discover such a secret passage. ”
"This must be the true lair of the Blood Hades Temple. ”
Everyone is talking about what to do next, except for one person.
The black veil that hung from the dome hat covered Novia's whole body, and he looked rather mysterious, and he behaved differently, walking straight towards the entrance of the cave, but instead of entering, she stopped in front of a pile of rubble.
These rubbles were the ones that were produced by the walls of the wall when Cardinal Quleton bombarded the cabinet, and everyone was paying attention to the hole, but what was she paying attention to?
The pieces of rubble were peeled open by Novia, and a shoe was revealed, and Novia stayed there, staring at the shoe in amazement.
Joanna hurriedly went up and asked, "What are you looking at a shoe in a daze?"
Novia picked up the shoe from the gravel, held it in front of her, looked at it as if it were a treasure, and said for a long time, "This is his shoe, and here he is." ”
Who he was referring to, Joanna certainly knew, and her face couldn't become more serious, and said, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure, I've finally found him. ”
Joanna immediately walked up to Quleyton's side, and after saying a word in his ear, she was taken outside by Quleyton.
What they were going to say, Cohen knew without listening.
From Novia's actions and words, Cohen had determined that the owner of the shoe belonged to the second prince, Orion.
Cohen guessed that he had fallen at this entrance when he was caught in it.
Thankfully, Princess Novia was here, otherwise no one would have recognized the shoe.
Cohen is not the only one who guessed this, but also Lloyd, since he knew the identity of Princess Novia, he has been appearing near the carriage not far away, and since arriving here, he has always remained within ten meters of Princess Novia.
This made Church and Barney very unhappy, and they always thought that Lloyd was beating Joanna's idea, and discussed how to clean him up all the way.
If Joanna hadn't warned them when she noticed something was wrong, Cohen had no doubt that Church would have given Lloyd a 'meteor shower'.
Princess Novia, who had come to her senses, stood up and was about to enter the cave directly, when Lloyd, who had been prepared, stepped forward quickly, grabbed her, and said, "Wait a while, Lord Quleyton will make arrangements." ”
