Chapter Seventy-Six: Brother Helen's Curse
-
In the Holy Book, in the section "Serving His Brothers," Hiren made his seven brothers his slaves and served him in the kingdom of Sunah.
The eldest brother in charge of sprinkling and sweeping froze to death in the courtyard, and the middle brother who cultivated died in the farmland.
The middle brother cultivated the fields, but he could not resist stealing food before the grain was ripe (the word "grain" is mentioned several times in the text of the Holy Scriptures, which attracted Mo Shi's attention), and the gods made him eat poisonous blades of grass, so he died of abdominal pain.
Do you suspect it's a serial murder case?
"I don't know why, in modern language, it's not so weird and scary. "Yet here, with its medieval fortress, its dark and narrow rooms and corridors, its hymns and confessions going on all the time, death has become a symbolic thing, not simply 'death' in the legal sense." ”
You seem to be starting to settle in.
Mo Shi smiled bitterly: "I do need to talk to you often. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll forget who I really am. ”
You shouldn't think of yourself as their compatriot. Bluebird was silent for a moment and said.
"What?"
Bluebird didn't answer quickly.
Mo Shi found his fingertips trembling slightly.
"But...... "if I don't do this," he defended himself, "how can I live? Whether it's emotional need or not. I all need to be accepted. ”
That's true. You're too weak right now. Bluebird replied softly.
"But...... Indeed, as you say, bluebird. I probably shouldn't have been...... Input. ”
Friend. As the pronunciation of this word echoed in his mind, the number of people who popped up at once was unexpectedly large. It was Sheka Hawthorn, Dino Firefinch, Duna Donggar, and Opal Zirconium, and even Diya Firefinch, Diffonor Firefinch, and Ember Wapin, their faces.
You are a skilled chess player. It was, and still is, says Bluebird—even if you lose the magic you once had so proud of and the wealth of experience you once had. So, let's talk about what's bothering you right now.
"Goldmane's death, and his friend's death. ”
That's right.
"From the perspective of a bystander. ”
Think of it as playing a puzzle game, as if you were building a detective.
"Good point. Mo Shi couldn't help but smile, "This way I think things are clearer." I don't have to think about my own motives, I just have to think about the decryption itself. ”
Yes, enjoy the game.
"Death in the Middle Ages, I remember reading The Name of the Rose, which was a murder in a convent. "To be more rigorous, let's assume that the deaths of Goldmane and his friends are definitely not an accident. Then, for the time being, we don't have to confirm the number and identity of the 'murderers'. ”
"The Name of the Rose", a good book, I have also read, the blue bird head to say that it is not easy to remember that it is just a terminal composed of a set of artificial intelligence systems, which is more verbose and esoteric for people outside the Christian cultural circle.
"You seem to like detectives?"
Yes, Mr. Moshi. Bluebird sounds in a good mood, come on, start your first brainstorming!By the way, how about we give this incident a name - 'Murder at the Academy'?
"Nothing new. Mo Shi laughed.
So...... the case of 'Helen's curse brother'? Bluebird's tone slowly became serious as the words came out.
Mo Shi put away his relaxed expression.
He returned to the reality of the moment, frowning at the obstacles.
"We need more leads. ”
-
"Right now, the adults of the Court of Justice are investigating in the Spinel Academy," Mo Shi paced slowly in the narrow room, "I can't join without permission, and I can't find a suitable breakthrough. ”
We can reconsider this. Maybe you should talk to Dino Firesparrow.
"Then it's lagging behind. ”
I'll help you get into the schedule. Bluebird pretended to be a secretary in all seriousness.
There was a knock on the door from behind.
"Mr. Moshi!" is Dino.
Mo Shi smiled and muttered in a low voice, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives", and walked over to open the door.
Dino Firesparrow's hair was covered with fine snow, and he looked as if he had just returned from somewhere, and then he knocked on Moshi's door.
"What's going on?"
"Mr. Moshi, listen to me. Dino stood outside the door frame, looking at Mo Shi solemnly.
"Yes?"
"I have just applied to the Investigation Team of the Trial Division. Tell them that you and I should join the investigation. ”
Mo Shi was surprised and couldn't organize the language quickly, so he chose the section he cared about the most: "So, what do they say?"
"They said they would consider it and give us an answer by tomorrow!" Dino said loudly announcing his stage victory, and then let out a white sigh, "I'll find a way to get them to say yes." ”
Moshi asked Dino to come into the room.
The boy still looked in a state of agitation.
"The adults of the investigation team said that Mr. Feida Duan Xi was poisoned. Dino told him, "The Doctor of Herbology is trying to figure out what poison is." I have written to His Majesty the King—"
Moshi captures information: Feida Duanxi, one of Terry Goldmane's best friends, poisoning, a death that is closer to murder than freezing to death from drinking, and ......
"Your Majesty?" asked Mo Shi in surprise.
"Yes. Dino bowed his head with a grim expression that looked very similar to that of his brother, "I plead with your Majesty for our support in my letter—I am the fiancé of Princess Gelotta, and you are his astrologer, and our reputation must not be tarnished by inexplicable suspicions. ”
I see.
"The power of love is really not to be underestimated...... Mo Shi sighed quietly.
Dino's ears twitched, and his cheeks flushed.

Then, the next day, the body of Konebian Xuanlu was found in the sheepfold. Kone Bian Spiral, who was also a friend of Goldmane, was a loyal follower of Terry Goldmane.
The death took place right under the noses of the mission, as they assessed the situation and wrote their documents (they still expected it to be "another accident" and nothing else). The facts, or rather, the murderers, apparently dismiss this.
It was an outright and unquestionable murder.
Konebian Xuanlu was strangled from behind and suffocated to death. His body was then thrown into the sheepfold. When the shepherds found out, the bantam sheep had gnawed the carcass to a bloody pulp.
"The third brother was asked to graze. Because he was lazy, he fell asleep on the pasture. Hungry wolves attacked the sheep, and the fleeing cattle trampled to death the lazy shepherds. Moser whispered the story, "This is undoubtedly a deliberate murder." The murderer completed his works one by one according to the section of the Holy Scriptures where "Hillon was abandoned". ”
All men are your brothers.
A brother must not insult a brother, and a brother must not rebel against a brother.
