Chapter 59: Sheriff

Stairs line both sides of the embankment, leading directly to the shallows of the river.

The shallows were full of damp and smooth stones, and reeds grew in the crevices of the stones, and from time to time a small clump sprung up, growing higher and higher towards the river.

Mu Fei deduced from the description of the Wind and Rain Building that the place where the yacht was moored that day should have been near here.

Looking at the shore, he didn't see anything famous, Mu Fei stood up straight and sighed, thinking that the police had been investigating for so many days, if there were clues, they must have found it a long time ago, what could they find?

Although he thought so in his heart, Mu Fei still walked downstream, carefully watching the situation in the river as he walked.

After walking for about a kilometer, Mu Fei saw from a distance that there seemed to be something in the reeds and grass near the shore in the river, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked in that direction.

Because he had been staring at the things in the water, Mu Fei didn't care about the surroundings, and after walking a few steps, he didn't know what he had bumped into, and he leaned forward and fell headlong to the ground.

Just as his face was about to make intimate contact with the stones on the ground, a force lifted him up from behind, saving him from the danger of breaking his phase.

Standing firmly, Mu Fei turned his head and realized that he had just bumped into a man.

The man had been squatting in the grass so he didn't notice it, and a kick hit the man's leg and lost his balance. When he almost fell, the man reached out and pulled him in time.

"Thanks, that, sorry." Mu Fei was a little embarrassed to thank the man for his help, and at the same time apologized for hitting the other party.

"Is that you?" The man was stunned for a moment when he saw Mu Fei's face, and said with a frown.

"Huh?" Mu Fei was also stunned when he heard this, why had they met? He looked at the other party's face suspiciously, and at first glance, he really felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Little ghost, you're alone this time?" The man stood up with a frown and asked in a cold voice.

"Well, yes, it's just me." Mu Fei didn't know what the other party meant by this question, so he could only answer honestly.

"Oh? That imp wasn't with you? The man frowned and asked.

"Huh?" When Mu Fei heard this, he remembered that this man was actually the sheriff they had seen when they went to Shanshi City to do the summoning order mission before. The last time we met, the other party was wearing a uniform, and it was in Shanshi City, where he rarely went to, so he didn't think about the chance to meet at all, so he didn't think about it for a while.

Thinking of the identity of the other party, Mu Fei reacted that "that little ghost" refers to Qi Haojun.

"Ah Hao didn't come with me this time, I came by myself." After reacting, Mu Fei said truthfully.

The last time they met, he felt that this sheriff had a bad temper, but he should not be bad in nature, and after that incident, it was also this sheriff who quickly led a police officer to clean up all the scenes, and immediately explained to the people accordingly.

"Why is Mr. Sheriff here?" Mu Fei was a little curious as to why this person appeared here.

"Job transfer." The sheriff explained briefly.

"Oh." Mu Fei nodded in understanding.

Wait a minute!

I just transferred to Miracle City, I have a bad temper and a stinky mouth, but I'm not a bad person. Why does this description sound so familiar?

"That...... Mr. Sheriff. Mu Fei had a bad premonition in his heart, "Could it be ......"

"What?" The sheriff asked impatiently, frowning.

"Do you know Mr. Wind and Rain at the Night Sky Bar?" Mu Fei asked cautiously.

"Hmm." The sheriff nodded, then remembered something and looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes, "What did he say to you?" ”

Mu Fei wondered for a moment, not knowing why he was stared at, but he still nodded.

"Cut!" The sheriff sneered a little annoyed, then turned his head to look at Mu Fei, frowned and said, "What guild of yours suspected that this case was related to the demon, so it sent you over?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Fei thought about it, since this person knew Fengyulou, and he was also involved in the incident in Shanshi City before, he must have known about the situation of the demon and the guild, so he no longer hid it, nodded and replied, "Yes." We suspect that Fang Gongzi's case was committed by the devil. ”

"Oh?" The sheriff's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and his originally serious face looked even more vicious, "You think so too?" ”

"Well, indeed." Mu Fei secretly swallowed his saliva, he always had a feeling that he was being interrogated in the face of this guy, and the pressure was great, "If it weren't for the demon, I would have hardly imagined that ordinary humans could do such a thing." ”

"That's a murderer you haven't seen in the real world." The sheriff snorted coldly and said, "I don't know about demons, but I've seen a lot of scum among humans. ”

"You think it was done by humans?" Mu Fei felt a little incredible, "If it was a human being, how did he erase all traces in less than two hours?" ”

"Looks like you know a lot, that guy from the Wind and Rain Building told you?" Hearing this, the sheriff frowned and asked unhappily.

"It's not just Mr. Feng who said it, our guild's scouts have also done some investigations." Mu Fei said with a clear conscience, he felt that if he admitted that it was all the news that Fengyulou told him, the man in front of him would definitely go to him to settle accounts.

"I see." The sheriff was obviously fooled by Mu Fei, nodded and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to erase the traces within two hours, there are many ways to do it." I think the simplest thing is that Fang Gongzi didn't commit the crime alone, he had other helpers. ”

"Huh?" Mu Fei was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about it in this direction before. Because he subconsciously believed that Fang Gongzi was a demon, he didn't need other helpers at all.

"Among those who were there at the time may have been his accomplices." The sheriff continued, "The woman who escaped would not have been able to see the situation clearly in that situation. It's also possible that his accomplice is someone else and doesn't show up until he starts working. ”

Indeed, if the prisoner is a well-trained gang, it is not impossible to clean up the scene in a short time. Mu Fei thought in his heart.

"There are other possibilities, such as that the woman was wrong, and the place of the crime was not in the cabin of the same yacht, but somewhere else." The sheriff continued.

"Elsewhere?" Mu Fei asked suspiciously.

"It was at night, and the woman drank alcohol and drugged again, so it was normal for her to have delusions." "It is likely that there were other boats parked next to the yacht at the time, and Fang Gongzi took the victim from the yacht to the cabin of the other boat, and then only drove the other boat away before the police arrived, leaving no trace." ”

Mu Fei listened with admiration, and sure enough, the professional thing was different, and he simply explained the original weird things reasonably, as if he had seen the situation that night.

"Mr. Sheriff, do you think the murderer of this incident is not a demon but an ordinary human?" Mu Fei asked.

The sheriff glanced at Mu Fei, then shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say that. ”
