The one in charge of lighting the fire was Hiren's fourth brother.

He chopped wood, burned charcoal, and tended the fire.

But he did not properly clean the charcoal chips from the fire, slipped and fell into the fire and was burned to death.

"I'm going to make my request. Moser stood in front of Mor Amethyst and another old man, who was the head of the entire Spinel Academy, "I am sure you have discovered that there is a terrible murder play going on in the academy right now. ”

Dino Firebird stood beside Mo Shi with a serious expression. Over the course of more than a year, he has grown taller and already looks similar to his eldest brother. He stood there as if he represented the coercion of the firesparrow.

Mor Amethyst was silent.

Moshi continued: "I have experience solving cases, and I will not stop the search until the killer is found – with all due respect, it is clear that the investigation team is not very concerned about this matter. If we want to find the killer, we need a rigorous, thorough investigation, not a stormy search and a crude, pointless interrogation. ”

The snow-white chief pipe stands still like an ancient wood carving.

"You mean," the administrator of the White House spoke, and Mor Amethyst looked at him, his face wrinkled as sharp and serious as a carving knife, "and you want us to authorize you to investigate. But you must know that in the academy today, the children still suspect that you are the 'murderer'. And what can you do to prove your innocence? You have even hinted that we should not inform the Fair Trial. ”

"I didn't hint at anything, because there would indeed be investigators from the trial court acting with me. ”

This time Moshi didn't flinch.

Many experiences have taught him that in this medieval kingdom of snowwalkers, what matters is not evidence, facts, and history at all, but a strong enough authority. He learned to borrow.

Moshi took an envelope from his coat pocket and placed it on the table.

"I have reported to His Majesty the King about the murders that have taken place in the Academy, and Your Wise Majesty agrees with me that this matter involves the blood of many noble men, and is not to be underestimated. "Therefore, I am not 'what I want you to do,' but 'tell you,' that I have accepted the orders of His Majesty the King, and that an investigation will be launched here, and that everyone in the academy will cooperate in the investigation, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful to the King." ”

"You! ...... to the king"

Mor Amethyst stopped and looked at the old steward, who nodded after a long silence.

"May God bless you, young man, and may God help you find the devil in the academy. ”

The Devil – or "Heeron"?

Thrown off a cliff by his seven brothers, Heren was saved by praying to God, and later became the prime minister of the king of the kingdom of Suna.

When Helen's hometown struck a disaster, his seven older brothers and his two younger brothers went to the land of Suna to buy food. Heron's brothers did not recognize the prime minister of the kingdom of Sunah as the younger brother who had been abandoned.

Heren gave food to his two younger brothers and asked them to return to their homeland with it, leaving his seven older brothers as his slaves. He asked the eldest brother to sprinkle and sweep, the second brother to plough the land, the third brother to graze, the fourth brother to make a fire, the fifth brother to wash, the sixth brother to carry the message, and the seventh brother to guard the door.

The eldest brother froze to death in the snow.

The second brother was poisoned by gluttony.

The third brother was trampled to death by the sheep for being lazy.

The fourth brother fell into the fire and was burned.

The remaining fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers were drowned, beheaded, and stripped of their hearts respectively.

"If the murderer is trying to imitate the 'Heren curse brother', then the remaining methods of death must be reproduced. Dino listed the brothers in the story on a piece of paper, "The story of Heren is that God wants people to love their brothers, not to be jealous or harmful. ”

Mo Shi took the piece of paper and wrote down the names of the students of the White Academy who had died in the Spinel Academy.

"First of all, we can rule out the possibility that the students of the Aishinoin Academy committed crimes. "They don't have the opportunity to come into contact with the students of Hakunoin for a long time, and they can't come and go freely in and out of Hakunoin." ”

"That's true. ”

"And in Hakunoin, I think it is possible to exclude all students who entered the academy more than one year before us. Mo Shi picked up the student directory with the simple information.

"Because ...... 'Helen' is a younger brother?"

"Terry Goldmane entered the academy three years before us, and most of his friends are his peers in the same class or in their freshman or junior year. "At first we all thought the killer was targeting Terry Goldmane's circle, but the one who died in the fireplace, Fernan Wumok, was not Goldmane's friend and was only one year older than us. ”

"You mean, you think the murderer is a student who entered the Spinel Academy, the White Academy, in the same class as us?"

"This is, of course, just speculation. It can always be used as a single link of speculation. ”

Mo Shi stood up.

"The murderer killed Fernan Eose, and it will definitely be a breakthrough for us. I think as long as we find the connection between Fernan and Terry Goldmane, the murderer's purpose will be revealed. ”

-

One of the simplest things about aristocratic schools is that if you know the connection between the various surnames, it is easy to find out who is in the same group as whom, and who is disgusted by the resentment of the fathers.

Dino Firebird has made many friends here, including those who know Fernan Eose.

After some inquiry, they soon found the children of rival families who were in trouble with Count Wulu because of a fiefdom dispute. The young man was clearly dismissive of Fernan's character.

"I feel very safe," the noble young master replied to Mo Shi with a calm expression, "Since that guy killed Fernan, I believe he will not come to kill me." Fernan, I and I are completely different from each other. ”

"Tell me what disgusts you about him. Mo Shi pleaded.

Some parts were completely personal grudges, and Mo Shi pretended to listen carefully. But then the young man mentioned something: "Fernan's had a while of having fun, so there were fewer conflicts between us at that time. But that just made me feel more disgusting about him. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"You don't know what we mean by fun? I thought you'd been here for a year and already knew something. ”

"It's a pity. "I focused on learning the knowledge that God had given me. ”

The young man stared at him for a moment, and his face showed a very strange expression, mixed with disdain and hesitation, as if to tell the matter was to reveal the secrets of the people, and that "whistleblowing" was not encouraged, whether justified or not.

Mo Shi instantly understood.

He lowered his voice and asked uncertainly, "Who is that 'fun'?"

Seeing the change in the young man's expression, Mo Shi understood that he had pressed it right.

He has spoken, and the words he says also help the other person to tell him more.

"That 'fun' is dead. Just a year before you and Mr. Dino came here. ”
