"Why are you so sure?" Gray asked, confused. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I've lived with Rand for seven years, and I don't think anyone knows his temper better than I do. The king has always been strict with his behavior and habits since he was a child, so Rand always behaves very much in accordance with the rules of etiquette. But when I met him just now, he was a little out of shape. Moreover, he actually drank the red wine in one gulp. Is this still the same elegant rand as before? I could feel that he was hiding something. ”

I looked at the study again, and said to Gray, "Do you remember his look when we came here the other day?" There seems to be some panic. I didn't think I had anything at the time, but now that I think about it, he was dealing with us. He didn't seem to want me to get up close and personal with Duke Doru's corpse. But what did he do it for? And at that time, Archimedes actually appeared here. I remember that Rand and Archimedes had never had any dealings, so how did they suddenly become a gang again? Did they make some deal behind the scenes...... Archimedes is not a simple person, he is two-faced, left and right, he may have other purposes for Rand, and this is what I am most worried about......"

Gray nodded, and quietly pushed open the door to the study. Due to the murder here, the ladies and ladies in the house temporarily moved to other places, and the waiters all left with the lady, so at this time, there was no one in the house except for an old man who was guarding the door.

I found that everything else had been cleaned up except for the shape of a corpse drawn on the ground, and I couldn't see any tricks. But that's to be expected.

I lay on the ground and searched carefully for demonic breath or other unusual places, but I didn't know if it was because the weather was too cold, and my senses were a little paralyzed. Sometimes I feel like there are traces of demons everywhere, and sometimes I feel like there's nothing.

What a damn one! I thought to myself, knowing that this was not the way to go.

I first knew that the devil was in Aubrey's vault, and it was Archimedes who asked me to assassinate him. This shows that Archimedes must have known about demons. And he is so obsessed with me to accomplish this, I think he should also know about Aubrey's private contract with the devil.

And in this incident, the other nobles and ministers have suffered more or less blows, and he, not only did not weaken his strength, but became the most conspicuous minister around Rand, I heard that he has recently mastered the defense of the city, which is really beautiful. If there's nothing greasy in this, I'm afraid even a fool won't believe it.

I already knew that Archimedes, the old fox, had eyes all over the city, and he had a very accurate grasp of the situation. He has been waiting for the opportunity in the turbulent situation of the capital, just waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But what I didn't expect was that his ambition seemed to be even bigger than I imagined. I'm even beginning to wonder if he was sincere in raising Arnold in the first place.

Wait, stay on top of the situation?

Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth began to rise a little unconsciously: When it comes to judging the situation, will there be anyone in this city who is more powerful than Wu Yao? And as far as I know, Wuyao and Archimedes have never dealt with each other, and they used to have a lot of-for-tat confrontation in front of the king's palace. In other words, Archimedes' intelligence network could not have known. It's just that how to make that Wu Yao, who has never been involved in the government, tell the truth, and he has to work hard.

As soon as dawn was the next day, I rushed to the shopping street. Due to the snow, the potted flowers in the yard are wilting and dying, and he is trying to rescue them.

I only felt that the brazier in the house was a little choking, so I had to shout at him in the yard: "Don't worry about those flowers, at the temperature you burn, the people in the house will suffocate first." ”

Wu Yao slowly cut a plum blossom, and didn't look back, but said, "Think I'm hot here?" If it's hot, go back and don't waste any more time. ”

I felt a little frustrated, so I had to use the agitation method: "Don't you know what the hell Archimedes is fighting?" If you let him be too powerful like this, he will completely crush you. ”

Wu Yao snorted softly in a nasal voice, turned his head, and said expressionlessly: "What does he want to do in my natural way, but what does this have to do with me?" Although I don't deal with him every day, it's just a small fight, and he won't care! What's more, now that he is in power, he won't take me to heart, and I'm happy to be at ease. He was still holding a withered lily in his hand.

I looked at the lily thoughtfully. Under the influence of the heat in the house, my hands don't hurt anymore. But my senses still didn't seem to recover. Because I began to think that there were demons here in Wuyao, but with Wuyao's ability, this is simply impossible. Wu Yao continued to bury his head in the snow and prune his flowers and plants.

"I said......" Wu Yao suddenly stopped the scissors in his hand, but did not look back: "In the past few days, His Highness has begun to summon me into the palace." ”

I was a little surprised: "What is he looking for you to do?" ”

“…… It's nothing, just talking about literary allusions, nothing serious. ”

I looked at Wu Yao's back in a daze, pondering the meaning of his words.

Wu Yao and Rand have never had any friendship, so why would they call him into the palace instead of Archimedes, the newly favored minister by his side? And who is not good, but it is also Wu Yao who does not deal with Archimedes? This can only show one point, that is, the current Rand and Archimedes look like they are separated and are guarding against each other.

It seems that some things need to be solved quickly.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but walk to Wu Yao's side, took the red plum that was budding in his hand, put it under his nose and took a deep breath, the smell had a hint of chill in the aroma.

When I went to Duke Doru's study with Gray again, I had a new gadget in my hands. Although Wu Yao didn't want to tell me the truth, he was still interesting enough as a friend, at least I could have whatever I wanted.

Gray played with the little bottle and said suspiciously, "What is this?" Can you really tell if there are any demons here based on this? ”

I poured some liquid from the bottle to the ground and said, "This is a manifestation agent, which is specially used by mages to track demons, as long as there is a demon in three months, it will emit a green light when it touches it, like this--"

As soon as I sprinkled the potion on the ground, it showed a little green fluorescence. This confirms that my initial inference was not wrong.

Gray was surprised and said, "Then how can you conclude that this is the demon who stayed after the invasion of the city?" ”

I replied, "Isn't that easy?" When there was such a big thing in the city, these nobles must have completely replaced the decoration of the house, and there should have been no traces of demonic activity, but now that there is, it can only be said that it was left after the replacement. ”

Then I re-examined the houses where the murders had occurred, and found that although I had the wrong feeling and the situation of several households, it was still generally correct.

It's just that what is the purpose of the demon? And what is the purpose of the murderer?

I know that ordinary demons above the intermediate level will not kill people at will, because even if they kill people, they will not get souls. But it's unlikely that the person who committed these things would be a huge, conspicuous low-level demon. And the mid-level demon itself is weak, how can it be possible to kill so many nobles who were originally mages at once? Demons, as creatures that only care about themselves, are unlikely to join forces more than once. Then it could only be the hand of a high demon.

However, the demon must have a corresponding price for his attack, especially the high demons. Now that so many people have died, why is there no movement in the city at all? I remembered that Aubrey had already paid a lot of human flesh just to summon Dragond in Merlin's Forest to teach Lanter a lesson, and now he must have paid for his life directly.

And the murderer who killed sixteen people. Although the scene of the crime has been dealt with, I still found from the remaining clues that the blood stains left at the scene are generally clean and neat, and it is very likely that they died at the hands of the same very skilled assassin.
