Rhodes spent the night carefully sorting out the situation of the elder's family that had happened to him.

The Navelo family is a respected family in Navoli and has always been the elder here - and the current Elder of Navello, Daus Navero, has been an elder for more than forty years.

As a local elder, Daus himself is not very conspicuous, he is usually not radical or conservative, belongs to the kind of powerful neutral faction, does not have too much ambition, does not have too strong skills, and basically belongs to the number in the elders' meeting.

And Daus's son Pallas and his father are almost carved out of the same mold - according to the city dossier brought by Akali, Pallas's political leanings and living habits are almost the same as his father's, the same low-key, the same neutrality.

Among the local elders of Navoli, the Navero family is characterized by a lack of character—even to the point of no presence.

Although there were nearly 100 pages of information copied by Akali, for an elder family, nearly 100 pages of information could only be said to be pitiful.

Moreover, in the collation, Rhodes also found that a large part of the nearly 100 pages of information are side-related information, and even less than one-third of the direct information about the Naviro family itself.

According to the minutes of the Council of Elders, Daus Navello's voting method was generally "everyone agrees and agrees, everyone opposes and everyone abstains", and from this point of view, it is difficult to see this matter as a political murder.

You must know that the number of elders in Ionia is not fixed, and there is no possibility for an old fritter elder like Daus to block others, logically speaking, no one will be idle to arrange such a troublesome string and draw a rosedie on the wall with the blood of the Naviro family.

So, what about personal vendettas?

Rhodes collated the official investigative information on the Navero family case and the collection of evidence at the scene, and found nothing related to revenge.

Moreover, the deceased was a member of the Daus family, and none of the other servants and guards were injured (except for mental trauma), according to the confession, the incident was that Pallas suddenly went insane, hacked everyone to death with a long knife, and then killed himself by disembowelment when everyone rushed to open the door.

Although they did not see the direct course of the crime, they did hear the roar from Pallas, who mentioned in his confession that Pallas was frantically screaming "Die, die".

At that time, the door of the hall was locked inside, and when the guards broke the door, it was too late, a bewitching rosedie bloomed on the wall, and a window behind the side hall was opened at some point.

At the bottom of the file, the person in charge of the case concluded that "except for Pallas, the wounds of the deceased were consistent with the long knife held by Pallas, there was no rune ability reaction at the scene, there was a fishy sweet smell, and it was tested as a hallucinogen, so it was preliminarily judged that the murderer was Pallas, and the motive was to kill people after psychedelic madness, and the user of the hallucinogens is unknown".

……………………

After putting all the information together, Rod finally let out a long breath.

After perceiving the smell of gunpowder in the hallucinogen, Rhodes already had his own guess, and all the information that Akali got back strengthened his own guess.

If the whole incident is reasoned logically, then no matter how you explain the motive for the crime, there will always be something that doesn't make sense - but if the subjective reason of the murderer is ignored, that is, the motive for the crime is erased, then the rest of the information can be strung together.

If there is a murderer who has placed LSD on Pallas beforehand, and then uses some method to get everyone in the Daus family together, all he needs to do is use Hex's revolver (or some other firearm he modifies) to fire an empty shot at Pallas from a distance.

After the hallucinogens take effect, Pallas will fall into madness, at which point the murderer only needs to cooperate with Pallas's shot, and then press the deceased's body with empty guns one by one, causing instant hemorrhage, and complete his work on the wall.

During the entire process, he didn't even need to be in the vicinity of the Daus family mansion to pull off a horrific murder.

From the perspective of an onlooker, Pallas seems to be cursed into a frenzy, killing his entire family and then committing suicide by disembowelment.

All the killer needs is a complete plan, accurate marksmanship, and a sweet psychedelic agent.

At this moment, Rod finally had a preliminary candidate for the murderer in his heart.

Early the next morning, Rhodes found Akali again.

"What?" After listening to Rod's story, Akali's eyes widened in disbelief, "You said it was made by Ember - that Golden Demon, Ember?" ”

"That's right." Rod nodded calmly, "This is the biggest possibility I can give - judging from the style of things, this matter is very much in line with the golden devil's hobby." ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Do you remember where Ember was arrested?"

“…… I want to think about it...... It should be Zhiyun Province, right? I remember that it was the Council of Elders of Zhiyun Province who asked for help. ”

"That's right—and rosemage is a flower unique to Zhiyun Province."

"Just a flower? Ember was imprisoned in Salem prison, and no one could escape from it - not to mention that Ember was just an ordinary person! ”

"No one can escape, but whoever can be released." Rhodes shook his head, "If I were a member of the Navoli Brotherhood, I would love to see Ember run out and kill an Elder, because that would mean Irelia and Karma would have to leave the heavily guarded Presidium, and it would also mean that the Balance Sect and Shadowstream would need to focus elsewhere and work together to catch him, and there would be friction in the process - and with this opportunity, the life of the Navoli Brotherhood would be much better." ”

Akali stared at him as if she were meeting Rod for the first time.

"Why do you have such an idea?" Akali subconsciously grabbed the kunai around her waist, "I don't think anyone who can think of this layer...... is a kind person. ”

"I've never considered myself kind." Rhodes didn't mind Akali's vigilance, "But ...... After all, I'm not a bastard, I'm just a lot more used to intrigues, and I'm more familiar with this kind of trick. ”

“……”

Akali was silent.

"Actually, if I were you, I would choose to meet Irelia and Karma - Preshidian is not far from Navoli, they are here today, so they should also leave today, and if the Navoli Brotherhood is going to do it, it will be today."

Akali glared at Rhodes, then grabbed her weapon and disappeared into the room.

Rod, on the other hand, poured himself a glass of magic spring water and drank it before getting up and leaving the room.

Well, it's finally time to get rid of Akali.
