Although he had already heard it once in the court, when he heard this statement from the second adjudicator again, Leo still couldn't hide his inner surprise: "Are you sure he really committed suicide?" ”

From a personal point of view, this Bishop Nelson is dead at this juncture, which is actually a good thing for Leo, after all, Bishop Nelson is also one of Leo's fierce rivals for the Pope, and he also has the support of half of the bishops.

Of course, those are in the past, and now that Bishop Nelson is dead, even if the two bishops who were originally on Bishop Nelson's side refuse to vote for Leo, Leo will be able to win by a vote of 3 to 2.

No matter how you look at this kind of thing, it is a bit pie in the sky, but Leo does not feel any joy because of this, but feels very uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

Leo had a hunch that this must be the devil's work behind it, and if Bishop Nelson's death really involved some of the demons' big conspiracy, then the demons were undoubtedly one step closer to the success of the conspiracy at this moment.

But until this moment, Leo still knew nothing about the Entropy Demon's schemes and plans, and this was what made Leo feel anxious and irritated the most.

Soon the three of them came to a room, which was clearly a study from the layout, with a large desk, shelves full of books and comfortable chairs, and a few pots of flowers with a faint fragrance in the corner, but Leo did not even look at these things, but stared straight at the scene in front of him—a white silk cloth knotted and hung down from the beam above the desk, and Bishop Nelson's body hung from it, and his neck passed through the silk cloth, and his face was bruised and motionless. It looks like he's been hanging for a long time.

Leo couldn't help but gasp: "Hell, this damn thing is really scary.... Two, how can you be sure that he committed suicide? Don't tell me just because you saw him hanging on top of it. ”

Adjudicator No. 2 shook his head and said, "Of course it can't be... In fact, I have already done a full examination of his body. Saying that, the second adjudicator resisted Bishop Nelson's body, placed it on the large desk in the room, and said: "Your Excellency, apart from this hanging mark on his neck, which is obviously caused by hanging, his body has no injuries, and there is no sign of poisoning or struggling in the whole person, so he can only be hanged, and there will be no other cause of death." ”

Leo looked at Adjudicator No. 2 with a look of affirmation on his face and decided to believe the expert's opinion. After all, as an assassin in the Sanctuary Realm, the second adjudicator is good at killing, killing people in various ways, so naturally he has seen all kinds of people who die because of different deaths. If such a person says that Bishop Nelson was hanged, then Bishop Nelson must have been hanged.

"But that doesn't make sense," Leo shook his head a little depressed, "If this Bishop Nelson really committed suicide, then there must be a reason, right?" Not to mention anything else, the pope election has not yet begun, at least from the current point of view, even if he can't win, he is not sure to lose, if he wants to die, he can wait until he is sure to lose, and there is no reason to commit suicide at this time. ”

Adjudicator No. 2 shrugged his shoulders and said, "My lord, I don't know about this. ”

Leo turned his head to Cheetos, who had been looking at Bishop Nelson's corpse and frowning and thinking, "What do you think, Lord Cheeto?" ”

Cheeto didn't speak, but suddenly reached out and moved Bishop Nelson's body on the desk to the ground, and rummaged through it.

"What are you looking for?" Leo looked at Cheetos with some inexplicability.

After a moment, Cheedo looked up, a very puzzled look on his face, and muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be..."

After a moment of silence, Cheeto began to search around the room.

Leo and the Second Adjudicator were so distracted by Cheeto's actions that they had no idea what the Lord of the Inquisition was thinking and what they were looking for.

"I said Cheeto-sama," Leo couldn't help but speak again: "Don't be foolish, okay, if you want to find anything, you can just say it, it's better for the three of us to look for it together than for you to look for it alone, right?" ”

Cheetos made a quiet gesture to Leo, then suddenly came to his senses, examined Bishop Nelson's body for a moment, and then suddenly burrowed under the desk.

Leo, Second Adjudicator: "......"

Just when the two of them thought that Cheetos had lost their minds a little, a cheer suddenly came from under the desk: "Found it!" ”

Leo was stunned for a moment, then crouched down as well.

Under Bishop Nelson's desk, near where Bishop Nelson usually sits, a word was scrawled on the wooden board on the back, and Leo carefully recognized it for a long time, and recognized it as the word "An".

"Ann? What does that mean? Leo asked, a little puzzled.

Cheedo let out a long breath and slipped out from under his desk, "I don't know what that means, but there's no doubt that this is what Nelson wants to pass on to us, information about the killer who killed him. ”

"Huh?" Leo's eyes widened in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

This can't help but surprise Leo, you must know that Cheetos has been standing with Leo since he entered the room, and there are almost no special movements, how can this strange word "An" appear?

Cheedo pointed to Bishop Nelson's corpse and said, "Actually, it's very simple, I just noticed the details that none of you noticed... You look at the middle finger of his right hand and pay attention to his nails. ”

Leo picked up Bishop Nelson's right middle finger, and sure enough, some strange black sawdust appeared from his fingernails, which made Leo suddenly realize: "I understand, Bishop Nelson used this finger to carve the word 'An'!" ”

"That's right." Cheeta nodded: "I've heard some things about Bishop Nelson, he is a person who likes to enjoy life and be pampered, such a person will have some cleanliness habits, and usually make himself clean, how can he allow any sawdust in his fingers?" Then I saw that the sawdust was ebony, and all the tables, chairs, bookshelves, etc., in this room were ebony, so it was obvious that the source of these sawdust must be some kind of ebony furniture in this room. ”

Leo nodded with some admiration, and added, "But it seems that at first you didn't know where the sawdust came from... How did you know that the word 'An' was engraved on the back of your desk? ”

Cheeto smiled and said, "Well... In fact, as long as the sawdust in the nail is visible, the rest of the matter is very simple. ”
