Chapter 6: Lieutenant Ross

After comforting Grecia, Edward and Alphonse received from Grace the last message Hughes had passed on to her, several special place names. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Ouyang looked at Edward's right hand and the paper on the table in horror.

According to the plot that Ouyang knew, Hughes should have been on the phone with Roy before he died, and his last words should only be known to Roy. But the reality is that Hughes was talking to Graceia before he died, not with Colonel Roy.

The plot has already diverged, and there will be more things that will affect it in the future.

[It seems that the next Lieutenant Ross prison escape incident should deviate from the plot.] 】

[Ouyang, what should I do? Do you want to continue the plan to open Grateney's belly?]

【…… I can only go on. This is the fastest way to replenish blood gas. 】

Ouyang continued to act as a silent backdrop, watching as Edward jotted down Hughes's last message. Ouyang wanted to know what the information Hughes didn't remind Roy to write down for his wife to write down, and even more wanted to know why Gretia would tell Edward this information, was that Hughes's last request?

Saying goodbye to Glacia and Alicia, Ouyang followed Edward to the residence arranged by the military to rest. The state alchemists are highly treated throughout the country, not only in the status of the military, but the military will also help the national alchemists in the best way they can.

Back at the hotel, Edward grabbed a map of Amedolis and marked the places that Glacia had told him to visit.

In fact, when he heard the news of Hughes's death, Edward was thinking about who killed Lieutenant Colonel Hughes.

There are very few people who can assassinate a lieutenant colonel of the military department in Central City and not be detected by the military department. Maybe Scar is one, but according to the information Edward got from Colonel Roy, Scar's main target is the national alchemist, and he may kill the Lieutenant Colonel of the Military Department, but he will not specifically kill the Lieutenant Colonel of the Military Department. Of the remaining people who might do this kind of thing, it's more likely that it's an android.

The android Envi has the ability to change his appearance freely, can easily approach any human, and can get information from unsuspecting humans, and can assassinate any human. This ability is so strong that it is difficult for ordinary people to detect anomalies, so the first target of Edward's suspicion is Envi, or android.

After marking the location that Hughes told Glacia before his death on the map, and looking at this map of Amedoris, Edward can already determine that Hughes's murderer is an artificial person, and whether it is Envi needs to be asked after meeting.

With the land of Amedolus as a circle, several locations notified by Hughes are connected as nodes, and it is completely possible to form a refining array that Edward saw in the Fifth Research Institute at that time, the refining array of the Philosopher's Stone. This also proves that the land refining array that Ouyang said is real, and it is close to completion.

Looking at the map on the table with a solemn face, Edward folded his hands and launched alchemy to destroy it. Hughes finally told Glalessa that the information was terrible, and if you haven't seen the philosopher's stone refining array, you can't see the problem, but as long as you have seen the philosopher's stone refining array, and with a map of Ametorius, you can deduce a huge territory refining array.

That's why Glalessa didn't tell anyone about it, only Edward. This was Hughes's last entrustment, and it was also a necessary condition for Glacia to save her life.

"Looks like we'll have to talk to Colonel Roy. ”

The time had arrived at night, and Edward was going to go to Roy tomorrow to talk about the Territory Formation Formation, hoping to get Roy's help, but before he could go to rest, the herald of the military department came to the door.

"What's the matter?it's so late~!"

"Lord Alchemist, please dispatch immediately, someone has escaped from prison with the murderer of Brigadier Hughes!"

"What!?, it can't be ......" Edward was anxious when he heard this, and immediately rushed out the door with Alphons.

[Colonel Roy, you can't do it!!]

Based on the relationship between Roy and Hughes, Edward had 10,000 reasons to believe that it was Colonel Roy who helped Lieutenant Ross escape from prison. The purpose was naturally not to let Lieutenant Ross go, but to burn her to ashes with his own hands and personally sanction the murderer of Lieutenant Colonel Hughes.

Hearing Edward and Alphonse leave, Ouyang hesitated for a moment and chose to stay in his room. Now that there are variables, Ouyang doesn't want to expand them again. Ouyang really wanted Edward to return to his home in the east to meet his father, a man who had devoted his life to making up for his mistakes.

As a result, Edward and Alphonse met with Barry, who had helped Rose escape from prison, and were stopped by Barry and Yao Lin, who had somehow appeared next to Barry.

After that, a burst of fire flickered.

When Edward and Alphonse arrived, they saw Colonel Roy with a grim face and a charred corpse on the ground.

Knowing that Lieutenant Ross was not the murderer of Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, Edward immediately wanted to come forward and question, but Colonel Roy just threw out a sentence of "This is the tone you speak to your boss?" and stopped paying attention to Edward.

The chief of the gendarmes who arrived then asked a very likely question in a low voice, and in the presence of Edward and Alphons.

"You really weren't the one who helped her escape from prison?"

"Of course not. What reason do I have to help a prisoner escape?" Roy replied calmly as he watched the gendarmes pick up the charred bodies.

"To kill her with your own hands. ”

“…… How can it be. Colonel Roy had a strange smile on his lips, as if his plan had been accomplished.

The acting was full of it, and almost all of them, except for a few subordinates who knew their movements, were deceived by Colonel Roy. Even Edward, who was convinced of Colonel Roy, was shaken, and he was a little afraid to go to Colonel Roy to discuss the matter of the Territory Refining Array.

Later, at the doctor who came to the military headquarters, the remains of Lieutenant Ross were identified.

Lieutenant Ross's death was a big blow to Edward, and Edward returned to the hotel in a state of disappointment.

When Ouyang came to look for Edward, Edward was telling Wen Li about the killing of Lieutenant Ross and about Colonel Roy becoming cold. Ouyang came to listen to Edward's account of the whole process.

“…… That is, you didn't see Colonel Roy directly killing Lieutenant Ross?"

"Well, however, the doctor has confirmed that it is Lieutenant Ross through the identification of dental treatment marks......"

Ouyang leaned against his head and pretended to think, and then asked: "Is it possible, the charred corpse was prepared in advance, and the so-called dental treatment marks can actually be known by Colonel Roy." ”

Hearing Ouyang say this, the dumb hair on Edward's head stood up directly, and he thought of another possibility from Ouyang's words.

"You say, would that Colonel Roy go out of his way to rob the prison in order to lure out the real murderer? You also said that Barry is an experimental object of an artificial man, and as long as the artificial man knows that his experimental object appears, he will definitely act to find this experimental object. ”

Edward's eyes lit up, and he knew that it was very likely, after all, Barry's appearance itself was beyond Edward's expectations, and it was also to help Lieutenant Rose escape from prison.
