Chapter XXII: Homicide
By the time Mai and Alice returned to the VIP room, Lulu had returned to her seat, and Ista was lying on the table from dizziness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Irma drank sullenly, and Bifull and Stranzie's faces were a little embarrassed.
"Yo, you're back!"
Beavor greeted the two warmly, and Stranzie smiled apologetically at Meyer. Maier smiled and nodded to the two of them, and returned to her seat with Alice.
"I'm sorry, Alice was a little excited after drinking and said some nonsense."
"It's okay, it's okay! On nonsense, I must have said the most! Ha ha! ”
Beavor narrowed his eyes to look at Lulu, who looked a little lost, and Ista, who seemed to be asleep on the table, and finally looked at Erin, who kept her head down and didn't speak.
"It's been more than half of the eighth grade, and I don't think I have spoken to Triton, have I?"
Erin didn't expect Beamore to suddenly turn the topic on herself, so nervous that she couldn't even make a sound, and buried her face even lower. Seeing this, Stranzie cleared his throat and picked up the conversation.
"It's true that Triton and Willandt seem to be very introverted and not easy to talk to."
When Stranzie said this, Maier and Alice noticed that Erin was strange. Before they could think deeply, an exclamation from outside drew their attention and the others.
"Murdered !!!"
The voice came from the street, and because the tone was so high-pitched, the people in the VIP room could not tell whether the owner of the voice was a man or a woman, or a young boy who had not changed his voice. The window of the VIP room was open, and the four boys ran to the window to look down as soon as possible.
The streets were chaotic, with pedestrians scattering and pushing each other. Not far from the main entrance of the shop next door, an elderly man in a black ** robe fell to the ground on his back, a large cut on his neck, and blood spurted outward, flowing into the soil along the gap in the pavement paved with stone bricks.
Pedestrians are running in the opposite direction to the middle-aged man who fell to the ground, and soon create a no-man's land in the street outside the Thorn Flower Tavern. It didn't take long for a squad of soldiers to arrive on the scene, led by the sheriff. The soldiers stood on either side of the crime scene on a human wall, and the sheriff examined the body and pulled something out of the body's pocket.
When Ima saw this, she immediately ran out of the VIP room. Beamore and Stranzy looked at each other and chased after each other.
"Take care of the others."
After saying this to Alice, Mel ran away with her. When he came to the street, Ima was talking to the sheriff, and Bifuel and Stranzy were standing behind him.
“…… Is it the truth again? ”
Imma's irritable voice reached Maier, making his heart tremble.
The Truth Society?
Could it be that the man who looked like a Lytin magician was killed by the people of the Truth Society?
Maier stepped forward quickly, came behind Beavor and Stranzie, and asked in a whisper
"What's going on?"
"Ah...... That is true. Biller turned around with a complicated face and replied, "Recently, there has been some chaos in Sackin City, and I don't know the specific things, it seems that some organization is killing people, right?" ”
"It's an assassination."
Irma turned around and said to the three of them.
"None of you are outsiders, and I don't want to hide anything. But I know very little about it, except that by chance, I heard my father say that there is an organization called the 'Truth Society' that is killing people by indiscriminate means, and every time after killing someone, a note with 'Truth Society' written on it will be left on the corpse. ”
Beavor looked at the body and asked.
"Are the dead all Rytin magicians?"
"No, not necessarily." Ima shook her head, "The deceased in the two cases I heard my father say were ordinary people, and one of them was a 'public lover'. ”
"Hey...... I mean, you're acting a little too calm. Stranzie, whose face was slightly ugly, interjected, "There's a Leytin mage dead here, aren't you afraid?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Beaffer looked at Stranzie in confusion, "He's just wearing a magic robe, and he hasn't been identified yet." Even if he was a Ryding magician, so what? We didn't kill people. ”
"But...... He...... It'......"
Stranzie's eyes wandered over the corpse and Beauffer, not knowing which way to look.
"It'...... It's a corpse after all...... And...... This is the ...... of the murder scene."
"It's because this is the scene of a murder that we should keep our composure." Beamore patted Stranzie on the shoulder leisurely, "If you don't get used to it, go back to accompany the girl, we'll stay here to investigate the scene." ”
The sheriff was upset when he heard Bilfour's words, and Ima caught a glimpse of his reaction and spoke to him.
"It doesn't matter, these are my friends, they are trustworthy in terms of character and ability, and they won't make trouble."
The eldest young master of the Cornate family had already spoken, and the sheriff could only silently step aside and hand over the scene to the teenagers. After the sheriff stepped down, Beamore turned to look at Maier and smiled.
"Mel, give it a physical examination."
"Uh, you mean to confirm the cause of death?"
"That's right!" Bifur nodded happily, "So, please!" ”
is so happy to meet a homicide, is this guy's essence good or bad?
Maier glanced at Bifull with a complicated gaze, then crouched down and examined the body with magic. When Myer's hand touched the corpse, Stranzie couldn't help but shudder.
The results of the examination surprised Maier, who found that the deceased had mild ulceration of internal organs, in addition to a sharp wound in the neck. In addition, Maier has several anomalous values in his blood, but he is unclear about the meaning of these anomalies.
"Visceral ulcers?"
The sheriff, who wanted to be silent, listened to the results of Maier's examination and couldn't help but speak.
"The murderer must have poisoned the murder weapon!"
"Poisoned?" Maier frowned, "In other words, a few abnormal values in the blood are manifestations of toxins?" ”
"It should be." Beafort nodded affirmatively, "Cutting throats, poisoning, and both, this truth will be really ruthless." ”
"Hmph, next!" Ima said coldly, "That truth will definitely not be a good thing!" ”
Judging from what Daddy said in the letter, the Truth Society should indeed not be a good thing.
It seems that the pace of the investigation must be accelerated!
Mel clenched his fists, but the expression on his face didn't change.
"The cause of death is certain, but the murderer will definitely not be caught in the short term." Bifur shrugged, "This truth would be interesting. Imma, what are you going to do? Continue the investigation? ”
At the time of the crime, it was a crowded noon, and the scene of the crime was a noisy street market, and there may be many eyewitnesses. But because of this, the murderer definitely did not stay in Saktin City after committing the crime, and most of them had already left here in the crowd.
"Of course!" Ima said indignantly, "As a member of the Cornate family, how can I allow such an organization to go unpunished in Sakin City!" ”
"That's great!" Beavor smiled pleasantly, "I'll do my best to help you!" ”
This guy must just like reasoning, right?
Maier looked at Bifull again with a complicated gaze and shook his head uncertainly.
"Uh...... But...... But we're still students......"
At this moment, Stranzie's slightly trembling voice appeared in the air.
"Maybe there's another class this week...... There should be a class next week......"
"Oh, too." Bifuel smiled awkwardly, "Tutor Elite's class must not be skipped...... She has little interest in money and does not accept gifts...... Well...... Now that's a problem...... Alas? Wait a minute, I seem to have a solution! ”
Beafour's eyes lit up as if it weren't his friend, but a 100-Faltain he had just picked up on the ground.
"You...... What do you want? ”
Stranzie had a bad premonition and instinctively took two steps back.
"Haha! Don't be shy! Stranzie! ”
Beauff stepped forward quickly, and put his arms around Stranzie's shoulders as if he were afraid he would run away.
"I've heard that as long as a woman falls in love with a man, she will obediently listen to him, what do you think?"
"Hey! You guys don't think about- uh! ”
"Worthy of being a master of love, Stranzie! I can't hide anything from you! Hahaha! ”
Before Stran could speak, Beavor slapped him on the back with a snapping sound.
"Didn't I tell you? I will fully support you in your quest for Elite Mentor! Not only me, but also Irma and Maier will help! You say yes, right? ”
Emma and Maier looked at each other and smiled wryly. Bifur was afraid that the two would not cooperate, so he hurriedly added.
"Come to think of it, this case is just a small part of the 'Truth Society Murder Case', and they will definitely commit the crime after that. As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, let's solve the affairs of the academy first, and then we can completely pull out our hands to solve this case! ”
I can go directly to my father and ask for a record of the case, and I can find a way to help you ask for leave--Ima was about to say this, when Bifuel kept squeezing his eyes at him, and kept glancing at Stranzie, so he had to change his words.
"Does Stranzie like Mentor Elite?"
Stranzie hesitated for a moment, then replied with a firm gaze, "I'm in love with her." ”
Belch...... That's the case......
Imma doesn't know that Stranzy is in love with Shata, and is a little difficult to accept when she learns the truth.
That's your mentor...... But...... There is also no explicit rule that tutors and students are not allowed to fall in love......
After weighing it up, Imma nodded as if she had made up her mind.
"Alright! I'll help you! ”
Seeing that Imama had already nodded, Maier nodded as well.
"Me too."
Beavor smiled in gratitude to Irma and Maier, and then slapped Stranzy on the back so hard that he let out a scream.
"Then it's decided!"
When the sheriff on the side heard the words of the teenagers, he could only pretend to look at the scenery and turn his back, but he didn't hear anything. The same goes for the soldiers of the vigilantes. (To be continued.) )
