(8.21 1st Update)
The pre-dawn city, with the initial halo, was lifted again and again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Abandon my night tour, lonely and panicked, few!"
Fili, who came out of nowhere, stood in front of the strolling carriage, stretching her arms to drive away the sleepy.
"Phew, that boring encounter, no one involved, how is Colf doing?"
"It's worse than expected, and he won't hear your greetings again."
Fili's expression was a little gloomy, that is, the oath of death, which belonged to the inevitable end of the prey.
"What was the process? After all, the reels that belong to him are actually unavoidable. ”
"Phew, I don't know, the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and the horseriders didn't notice the subtlety."
"It seems that there is no need to test it, and I expected it to be good, accompanied by the sound of the shepherd's flute along the way."
"Yes, it's a very elegant piece of music, and it just lingers, but I can't find the direction."
When they arrived at the scene, the patrol team temporarily maintained the environment from pollution, and the groom was also controlled.
"Si Qi, you and Omiriya Jie survey the scene, I will ask about the specific situation, Xiao Yi, you take Fili to rest."
I stood in front of the groom, his tired shadow, curled up in a ball.
"You're a horse rider?"
"Yes, I am innocent, I am just a hired commoner, and I dare not usurp power!"
"Can you tell the story? Even if it is a reluctant defense of oneself, it needs to be honestly foreshadowed. ”
"None of this has anything to do with me, and I can't participate in that kind of supernatural event in the carriage!"
The groom shouted, trying to use the power of words to break free from his dominated body.
"Oh? Paranormal events, what's going on? ”
"There is no sound of struggle, no environmental attack, and death is declared, that is terrifying!"
"Do you mean the non-human way?
"Yes, the silent murder, just like that!"
"Mr. Mafu, I think you overestimate my tolerance and are still hiding what happened!"
My gentle tone, but with an extra greeting, was a threatening expression.
"How do you know that Colf was murdered and not killed? There is a similar foreknowledge in the hurry, which is terrifying! ”
After a moment's hesitation, the groom fell to his knees, and his surprised doubts were about to be irrepressible.
"I didn't dare to hide the truth, but I was also threatened! It said, if you don't confess according to the script, I'll be next! ”
"Who is it? The murderer of Colve? ”
"I don't know, I also parked the carriage and tried to explore, but I didn't find it, the melancholy voice, but it kept circling in my ears, like a devil!"
The groom's terrifying narrative, with almost no elements woven of lies, is sober in such moments.
"Since you don't have a picture of his outline, how do you determine its identity?"
"It's that stealth skill, it's out of the laws of nature, just like the record in the ancient book, the dark netherworld!"
"So, you're familiar with the events of fifteen years ago, right?"
"Yes, at that time, there was no one who did not know the Masked Riders, they were the most popular society. Joy and indulgence are the purpose of the whole city, but it is like their silent arrival, and suddenly evaporated. ”
The groom's slightly regretful mood was about to cover up the previous panic, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the netherworld.
"Young master, leave a clue on the carriage, and on the chassis of the carriage, there is a hook."
Siqi shows a pulled iron hook, with a clear color, which is a recent substance.
"Huh? The carriage has always been managed by me, how can there be excess substances? ”
The groom wondered how strange things could happen in his jurisdiction.
"It's easy, please let me do a demonstration, but I need Madame's help!"
"What can Xiao Yi do?"
"Please soothe the steed so that it can lie on its side and turn the carriage over."
"Well, I'll try it then!"
Xiao Yi stared at his somewhat wandering eyes, stroked his mane slowly, and poured out something in his ear.
As if attacked by a mysterious force, the horse suddenly crouched on the ground, and then fell on its side.
"It was here that the length of the hook could make a plank, and the murderer lurked under the wagon. In addition, there is a pre-designed opening, which presumably creates a snake to pass through. ”
"So that's the case, no wonder there's no way to tell the source of the shepherd's flute, it's under the carriage."
Fili lamented that she had been deceived, and that was beyond her temporary judgment.
"Bell, look here, there's a very strange smear, like gunpowder."
Omily found black powder in the shaft of the wheel, but it had not yet been ignited.
"It's strange, why would you prepare the rest of the devices when you have all designed a murder strategy?"
"Is it to try a new design and avoid the possibility of mistakes?"
Xiao Yi and Fei Li guessed the truth, but in fact, it was a speculation without evidence, which was difficult to confirm.
"Hey, are you going to overhaul the wheels? How could there be such a design! ”
"My lord, I saw this just now. Because of Master Colef's cleanliness, I would check it every night, and the iron hook and gunpowder were all inexplicable. ”
"When was the last test?"
"The night before, every time I returned to the mansion, I was ordered to inspect it."
"That is to say, it was done yesterday, when did you leave the carriage yesterday?"
"It's at the entrance to the outer city of the palace, and I'm lying under a tree waiting for Lord Colef."
The groom hesitated, as if he was hiding something, but he was forced to feel under some kind of pressure.
"Why, do you want to hide it at this time? You know, even if you are suspicious in front of you, I can punish you! ”
Omiritje pulled out her dagger and waved it in the air, flaunting her absolute deterrent.
"I, I don't dare to say, she will wipe me out at any time, even my family."
The groom, who is calm and emotional, is still persistent, and that is enough to explain.
"Don't make it difficult for him, after all, it is the power of the princess, and you still need to be jealous!"
"What? It's the princess! ”
"Are there any other options? Mr. Marv, am my speculations accurate? ”
The process of being exposed made the groom relax slightly, and the heavy pressure was temporarily relieved.
"Since the Lord has noticed it, I can't hide it, yes, just as I was leaving, the Princess sent an attendant to intercept the carriage and have an exchange with Lord Colf, which lasted about ten minutes."
"Very well, you can step down for the time being, maybe there will be a chance to use you later."
The soldier set up the groom and took him into a prison, where it might be safer for witnesses.
"Is Bell suspecting the princess of being a hindrance? How could she want to eradicate her henchmen? ”
"The more confidants you have, the more you know, and the more you need to eliminate them. Those gunpowders were probably the princess's design, maybe she didn't know it, but in fact, the Netherworld had prepared it in advance. ”
"According to the chronological order, the princess's manipulation seems to be lagging behind, so it means that the Nether infiltrated after the carriage was activated, otherwise it would have been discovered by the servants who hid the gunpowder. But I didn't notice anyone boarding the carriage halfway through, and the sound of the shepherd's flute appeared. ”
Fili sorted out the chronological order, as if there was a big contradiction, it was a hole in the whole reasoning.
"It seems that so, Sister Fili's investigation should not be oversight, how did he get on the carriage?"
Xiao Yi also began to suspect the problem, as if it was not as easy as it seemed, like a netherworld.
"Yes, Bell, how do you explain this kind of thing?"
"Si Qi, what do you think? You seem to have figured it out, don't you? ”
Si Qi, who is sneering, is a sign of maturity, and everything is under control.
"In fact, the young master is the first explorer, how dare I casually surpass the merits? However, I can try my best to cooperate with the young master's explanation, and trouble the lady to remove the hypnotic spell of the horse. ”
Xiao Yi crouched down and whispered something in the horse's ear, and it once again stood upright with the carriage.
"Now I'll play Colef, Si Qi will play the murderer, and you will play the coachman."
I stepped into the carriage, imitating Colf's soft gesture, waiting for the murderer to strike.
When Omiritje opened the carriage to greet me, Siqi sat down beside me.
"Huh? How so? When did Mr. Siqi get into the carriage? ”
"Yes, ma'am, in fact I have been hiding under the carriage, and at the moment of inspection, I climbed into the carriage."
All the plots begin to reverse, then there can only be one conclusion.
"Nether and Mr. Colf were both in the carriage at the beginning!"
Fili was shocked by her own conclusion, and her stiff expression couldn't believe the fact.
"Yes, in fact, the Netherworld has always been in the carriage, and the iron hooks on the territory are all misleading for covering. Moreover, there is no trace of sawdust, which means that the technique of hiding the planks is a trick. ”
Siqi showed the iron hook without any scratches of the load.
The game of hide and seek, begins. (To be continued.) )
