"Just about to report to you, Lady Betty, the situation is probably ......like this", Viscount Deka couldn't help but straighten his body when it came to professional matters, and the expression on his face became more serious. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that the investigation of the Public Security Department was still fruitful, and by the afternoon of the next day, the Public Security Department held a meeting overnight, and all the scene analysis and inference of the case had been completed, and Master Deca had even narrowed down the scope of the murderer to a small direction.

First of all, from the scene, according to the type of place and environment where the incident occurred, experts believe that this is a carefully selected ambush site.

The slums were a mixed population, with a large number of low-ranking mercenaries living here, the roads in the area were dark, winding, dirty and messy at night, and the mercenary fights were so frequent that they could not attract the attention of the Sheriff's Office, and as a result, the number of guards in the city was so small that it took more than a quarter of an hour for the nearest patrolmen to arrive. Such a background undoubtedly brought great benefits to the concealment and safety of the ambush. The murderer has enough space and time to calmly arrange and retreat.

Secondly, according to the testimony of the injured accomplices, they were summoned, at the expense of a cloaked man, and had no prior contact with each other. They never saw each other's faces, and could only make an inaccurate description of the height and fat of the murderer who paid for it. As for the voice, even though they had all heard it, it was not difficult for a junior swordsman to change his voice in a short period of time, and Dou Qi could help him do it easily. Therefore, it is very difficult to track down the leader from them.

Third, it can be seen from the testimony of the perpetrators that the two people who were beheaded clearly knew the leader, and were probably the leader's direct subordinates. But unfortunately, after the failure of the ambush, the leader simply cut off the heads of the two people and took them away, although this confirmed the close relationship between the deceased and the leader from the side, but unless it was a very close person, it was difficult to find out the identity of the headless person, so it was impossible to find the trace of the leader.

The fourth clue is that the leader is confirmed by everyone to be a junior swordsman. Although Shining City is only a medium-sized city, there are still thousands of junior swordsmen living in the city, including mercenaries, adventurers, and noble family guards, and it is almost impossible to find this person by means of investigation.

Fifth, from the questioning of the Viscount's palace guard Nalco in the morning, it was learned that the other party did not seem to intend to kill Master Hughes, which is consistent with the testimony of other captured accomplices in the prison. The accomplices had been ordered not to harm Xius before, and their intentions were obvious, they just wanted to teach Young Master Xius a lesson, but the unexpected appearance of Nalko, a junior swordsman, was obviously not expected by the other party. Thus, the brawl turned into a fight, which eventually led to this serious homicide.

Based on the above points, the experts in the Public Security Department have basically clarified the facts of the case and have a direction for continuing to investigate the case. Deka said this in one breath, a little thirsty, and he took a sip of his teacup while observing the expressions of Lady Betty and Master Hughes.

Lady Betty frowned and did not speak for a moment, while Theseus nodded slightly, a smile on her face.

"Wonderful analysis, Lord Deca, I am amazed by your wisdom!" said Theseus, smiling happily, "The truth is basically the same as you say, so have the experts of the Sheriff's Department come to the conclusion of who the murderer is?"

The question was very abrupt and unprofessional, which made Deka a little embarrassed, and he had to cough lightly twice to avoid speaking. Fortunately, Madame Betty saw the difficulty of the baron in front of her, interjected appropriately, and gave Baron Deka a step.

"Where is it so fast!Hughes, you should read more books on the law, lest you ask such ignorant questions later. Don't mind, Lord Deca, little one, always a little anxious. ”

"Where, it's a shame that we didn't do enough work!" Deka shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I was too impatient and presumptuous, please forgive me!" Hughes also knew that he was impulsive, and apologized to the sheriff embarrassedly. Of course, because he was still young, Deka quickly forgot about this little episode and turned to the mother and son to start further analysis and reasoning.

"Because of the reasons just stated, our experts have to sigh that the other party is indeed a master of tactical operations. Everything was done so cleanly and thoroughly that we were unable to obtain any clear evidence. However, this is precisely the biggest loophole of the other party!

Therefore, we assume that the murderer is a junior swordsman who graduated from a regular warrior academy, and it is very likely that he is the family guard of some nobleman in the city! This will be extremely helpful in ending the case!" Baron Deka couldn't help but smile at this, feeling a little smug in his heart. A serious law and order case, under his leadership, found the right direction so quickly, and it is clear that he has merit.

Hearing this, Lady Betty also smiled, and nodded and smiled approvingly at Lord Baron: "It is indeed a big loophole, but without your excellent leadership, who knows when this loophole will be discovered? ”

At this time, Xiusi suddenly spoke: "Are the guards of the noble family? But why do some of the nobles' guards take the initiative to attack me? With such an identity, they should know the fate of attacking the nobles!"

This is a key question, and it is also a key question that the experts of the Public Security Department are puzzled about.

Baron Deka frowned as a result, and his expression became serious: "Young Master Xius, your question is very important, and the experts are divided into several factions of opinions. Moreover, this is one of the purposes for which I came to the house in person. ”

Hearing this, Theseus straightened his body and looked at the baron with the same serious expression.

"I want to know, have you offended other noble children lately?"

When Mrs. Betty heard this, her face changed, and she immediately turned her head to look at her son.

At this time, she also suddenly discovered that if according to the sheriff's statement, then this ambush was really likely to be done by a young stunned young nobleman. If this is the result, then Theseus is too wronged this time.

Xiusi was stunned, he blinked, looked at his mother, then at Deka, and smiled bitterly: "How is it possible, in the past month, I just went out last night, just with Fagaret, in Dhaka Villa, just the two of us, even the most ordinary jealousy has not happened, how can we provoke others?!"

Hughes's words were full of surprise and helplessness, and to Deca's ears, he thought that this emotion did not seem like a fake.

Deca frowned and asked again, "Are you sure you haven't been out for a month?" Oh sorry, I don't doubt your honesty, it's just that maybe it's been too long, and you may be mistaken. ”

Betty and Theseus were a little unhappy when they heard this, and Mrs. Betty immediately replied: "I can testify to what Theseus said, this month, he has been training hard every day in the fort, and he has never set a step out of the house at all, please rest assured." ”

"Oh, okay, okay, I understand, I'm sorry, please don't mind!" Baron Deca's face changed slightly, of course he felt the displeasure of his hostess, and apologized again and again while secretly scolding himself for having nothing to do.

"This is strange, most experts think that this is just a simple revenge, after all, the other party has a clear goal, and there is no intention to seriously harm Young Master Xiusi. Could it have been earlier? It is also unlikely! It is ridiculous that a person who has been able to endure for so long would never use such childish means to retaliate. Baron Deca's face was sad for a moment, and Hughes's answer had stuck their train of thought here. Until they can think of a new motive, their previous assumptions are likely to be wrong. In that case, the workload of investigating the case will be very different.

While Decca was frowning, Madame Betty, as if inspired by something, her eyes lit up, she slowly sat up straight, and said to Baron Decca with a little hesitation, "Perhaps... Maybe not revenge, but just jealousy?!"

Deka's eyes lit up, and he immediately saw from Madame's face what the Viscountess might know, and immediately asked: "Yes, jealousy definitely has such power! But why be jealous? Madam, is there any news that I don't know? If it is not a private situation, please be sure to say it, it will be very helpful to our reasoning!"

Mrs. Betty looked at her son and smiled helplessly: "It's not a secret that this matter is related to Xius, it's just not good to publicize it." A few days ago, Xius received an enrollment notice from the Royal Family Warrior Academy, and I think that this news may cause hostility from other children of similar age!"

As soon as these words came out, Hughes froze, and Baron Deka also widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, stupid.

"You're talking about the Allianz Kingdom King Warrior Academy?!! "Deka exclaimed as he reacted, almost jumping up from the couch.

"You heard you right, Master Deca. The mother's answer was simple, but between the lines, the two Hughes still heard the joy and pride in it.

"Congratulations, I didn't even know that Young Master Xius had such a talent, this is a big deal, Xius, you are definitely the pride of Shining City, you are really the beloved young man of the God of War!" Deka's enthusiasm instantly rose a big level, his eyes were almost completely narrowed, and his mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears, as if Xius was his son.

Xius couldn't help blushing a little when he looked at the other party's exaggerated words and deeds, and he bowed his head and shyly returned the salute: "You have won the prize!"

After the matter of the case was put aside for the time being, and after a long time of talking excitedly with Mrs. Betty on the subject, Mistress Decca seemed to notice his slight gaffe, and quickly restrained his somewhat agitated emotions, and turned the subject back to the case.

"In that case, madam, your reason is very practical, you see, even I, an adult, have been so out of shape when I hear the news, you can imagine what other noble children of the same age as Young Master Xius will think. I'm afraid it's not just jealousy, but also hostility and hatred, especially for those who have achieved nothing. Decca shook his head and sighed.

"But we didn't get the news out!" said Mrs. Betty, still a little puzzled.

At this time, the two adults ignored Xius next to them and didn't notice that at the same time as Betty asked this sentence, the young man seemed to think of something, and his face immediately became quite exciting!

"Fagaret, you rotten who can't control your mouth when you see a woman!"

Listening to the conversation between his mother and the sheriff, Hughes was very depressed, and after a long time, he would be so unlucky, and it turned out that it was thanks to his love saint friend!

At this time, although the discussion between the sheriff and his mother was still only speculation, in his heart, Hughes had already labeled his friend Fagaret Ménsson as a "rotten saint with a big mouth".

"What a grievance, I want you to look good, Fagaret!" Theseus was embarrassed to look at the two adults at this time, and he muttered depressedly with his head down.

However, the disgusting face of Theseus, who knew her son, actually caught the attention of Lady Betty, and she immediately suspected that the matter might have come out of the mouth of her precious son. Young people, it's normal to show off to your friends after drinking.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Betty didn't know how to describe her feelings.

The bad luck of the baby son was caused by his own mouth, which was originally a joke, but it happened to the son, which really made the plain and steady Mrs. Betty cry and laugh.

Having finally been able to get a moment, Lady Betty immediately got rid of the sheriff's chattering reasoning and praise, "Hughes, your face is not right, do you remember something?"

Hughes was immersed in complaining about his friend, and when he heard this, he was shocked and raised his head sharply. And when he saw the inquiry in his mother's eyes and the slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his heart was cold for a moment. He knew that his heart had already been guessed by his mother. Thinking that his troubles were about to become the joke of others, he was in an even worse mood, and reluctantly reluctantly responded: "Oh, I do remember some situations, but I don't think it has to do with an ambush. ”

Mrs. Betty laughed, and at the face of her somewhat embarrassed son, a certain mischievous pleasure suddenly arose in her heart.

"Okay, tell me everything you know, as long as it helps the case, you can let the rest go, and who knows if the murderer will come a second time if he can't strike a single blow?" Lady Betty persuaded with a suppressed smile.

At this time, the sheriff also noticed that Hughes was abnormal, and he observed with great interest Hughes's strange expression, as if a good sign was growing rapidly in his heart, and even his face gradually showed a smile.

Bowing his head and sighing, Xius was still ready to tell them all his guesses, after all, he still knew the priorities of the matter in his heart. Compared with the big event of chasing the murderer and taking revenge, there is nothing invisible about his little embarrassment.

"Laugh at it, whatever!" Hughes grunted angrily, then raised his head again, took a deep breath and responded, "Mom, if you are sure that no one in the family has reported that I have received the notice, then I think I am afraid that I said it myself. I told Fagaré about him last night while I was drinking. At that time, there was no one else but us on the balcony on the second floor of Dhaka. So, maybe Fagaret said it. ”

Mrs. Betty wanted to laugh, but now when she saw her son's vegetable, she couldn't help it, so she had to turn her head back, but her slightly trembling shoulders betrayed her.

Hughes was watching the two of them react. The sheriff was frowning in contemplation, a joy on his face, which he knew was a sign of open-mindedness. And what about the mother?

Hughes saw at a glance his mother's evasion and trembling shoulders! What else could he say about such a performance, he was 100% laughing at him!
