To Su Mo's surprise, Max's residence was in ruins, and there were traces of fire.

Stumped yourself for a disaster?

Whoever you want to find will be unlucky, the last time you looked for Mel and Rice, they were captured by Count Dracula, and the last time you looked for Mel, she was chased by the Cuckold King and had to hide.

This time, I couldn't find a shapeshifter.

Su Mo could only inquire about the neighbors, he had the Transfiguration Technique in his hand, and there was absolutely no problem in disguising it.

After some research, I finally got a few versions of the story.

One of the versions says that the original residence here was a wanted criminal, who had been hiding in this place, and was recently discovered by members of the law enforcement team, who committed suicide in fear of crime.

The way to commit suicide is to set fire.

The second version says that the killer killed the people who lived there, and then burned the house together and destroyed the corpses.

There is also a version that the people who live here kill the killer, burn the body and the house, and then drift away, without a single leaf touching the body.

That's basically the same version, and the others are too bizarre.

It is unlikely that he will commit suicide in fear of sin, and based on Su Mo's understanding of Max, it is concluded that he is not that kind of person.

That's a person who works hard to live and wants to be in high society, and he won't end his life easily, he is actually a person who is very afraid of death.

So, who is it that died?

Both the second and third versions mention the house and the burned bodies in the house.

The body was parked in the morgue, and Su Mo planned to go and see it.

There are about a dozen places in Tallinn where corpses are parked, and they are transported out of the city from time to time to be burned, and in the coldest part of this winter, every day a large number of carloads pull the bodies that have frozen to death and starved to death for incineration.

Max's body is a bit special and will be parked in a special place because he is involved in a murder case.

Su Mo was now wearing a black coat, a top hat, and two very eye-catching mustaches, looking to be at least forty or fifty years old, and he also had a pipe in his mouth, and he was spitting clouds and smoke all the way.

He gave the gatekeeper two silver coins and walked in.

"Mr. Poirot, is there anything I need to do?" The guard looked at Su Mo with a very eager look, or rather at the person who looked at Su Mo's transformation.

Herculi Poirot, who was a federal police detective in his early years, became a well-known private investigator in Tallinn after his retirement.

A legendary man's hat was eaten by the children of the family in exchange for candy.

And the object of this transaction is the strange Shu Huang sent out by Su Mo, this collection Su Mo will not use it easily, and he will only take it out today to scan the great detective.

"Get me an autopsy report, thank you." Su Mo said politely.

The brothers of the Scarlet Battle Banner are very worry-free, for example, after acquiring the hat of the great detective, they immediately investigated the great detective, and there was an eight-hundred-word investigation report sent to Su Mo along with the hat.

The guards immediately brought in the information, not caring if it was in accordance with the rules or not.

Su Mo took a look at the report, which was basically nothing nutritious, roughly stating the age of the deceased and the cause of death, as well as an investigation report on Max.

The report does not mention that Max is a capable man, only that he is a and taciturn shoemaker, but he has a very good craft, and he usually has no enemies, and he has nothing suspicious in recent times.

Mr. Max was seen yesterday being pushed into the burning house by a man in black, and never came out again.

The patrol who then arrived extinguished the fire in the house and found the charred body in the rubble.

Su Mo handed the information back to the guards and walked in front of the corpse in person.

He was not a professional coroner, but after all, he was well-informed, and after inspecting several places with professional tools, he put down his tools and said goodbye to the guards.

This is not Max!

I didn't think Max would die easily, but now I further proved this speculation.

So, who exactly did it to Max?

Whether it's Count Dracula and Baron Santos, or Grand Duke Stan, who imprisoned Max's two old friends, or some other killer sent by some other force.

It's getting more and more complicated.

When he walked out of the morgue, an inspector came in front of him, he was a little surprised when he saw Su Mo, but quickly calmed down: "Mr. Poirot, I'm Senior Inspector Laurien, I'm glad to see you, what are you busy with?" ”

"Oh, hello, I'm investigating a case and I'm in a bind, let's see if there are any clues here." Su Mo was as calm as possible, and pretended to be preoccupied, a detective, preoccupied is his most hidden performance.

When you think about it, even if there is anything abnormal, you can be understood.

"Is there anything I can help with, I'm the inspector of this area, and I'm on duty today." Laurion didn't go inside either, leaving side by side with Detective Poirot.

"No, thank you Laurien, you go get busy." Su Mo secretly complained in his heart, but there was no way.

Although Detective Poirot had a higher position before he retired, he was retired after all, and it was impossible for him to let a senior inspector get out of the way and not bother himself.

This kind of patrol, especially the high-level patrol, is definitely stronger than the average guard.

And the contrast is still the guards of the main city of Tallinn, once it is detected, Master Su will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

"Mr. Poirot, I heard that you recently solved another murder case in a closed room, can you tell me about your thinking?" The senior inspector couldn't understand the eyes at all, and Tian shamelessly followed, which shows that the game natives actually have a fan culture.

The guard watched the two leave with envy.

In fact, he also wanted to discuss with Mr. Poirot about the murder in the closed room, but unfortunately he had no way to leave.

Where did Su Mo know about a closed room murder case.

There are indeed channels to learn about the news on the NPC's side, such as the Tallinn Daily and Tallinn News, which have long begun to appear in the cultural class.

The quality of the new paper was not good, but it was good enough to carry the newspaper's circulation.

It's just that Su Mo is okay and can't read the NPC's newspaper, he doesn't have the time and energy, and he's almost tired in the past two days.

"Solving a case is a very complicated matter," Su Mo pretended to say: "When you feel that the truth is right in front of you, you are actually in a predicament, and you have to be a little more skeptical at all times." ”

It seems to be very lofty, but in fact it doesn't say anything.

Senior Inspector Laurien, on the other hand, agrees with Detective Poirot about the details of the case.

But the more Su Mo listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

This Laurion is a little too illogical, there are inconsistencies, is he really a senior inspector who cares a lot about the case?

Su Mo stopped and stared at the other party.

After a moment, he said slowly, "My shoes have not been very comfortable lately, Mr. Lauryne, do you know any good shoe repairers?" ”

"Shoemaker, I know a few, and there happens to be a good one nearby, so I'll take you over to see it." Laurien said.

"Please." Su Mo followed behind the other party, observing the other party as he walked.

Senior Inspector Laurien is about forty years old, very burly, but slightly fat, and has a low center of gravity on the left side when walking, but still has the majesty and seriousness of a soldier.

He occasionally makes small movements, such as touching the musket on his waist, which is probably a professional habit.

In addition, the thumb of the right hand will touch the joints of the middle finger, and there are no traces of mosquito bites, which is obviously the habit of the patrol himself.

The image, posture, and tone are all fully in line with the characteristics of a senior inspector.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had told the situation of a case that there was a loophole, it would be difficult for Su Mo to imagine this person as a transfiguration technique.

Laurien took Su Mo into a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, brought Su Mo into the house, and then began to change his form, and sure enough, it was Max the Shapeshifter.

He appears to be injured and still has bandages on his shoulders.

In the process of deformation, this kind of injury is not only not visible, but also cannot be captured from the movement.

"Sure enough, it's Mr. Max, don't come unharmed." Su Mo took off his hat and regained his handsome appearance, no matter how good Detective Pineapple was at solving cases, he was not as handsome as himself.

"What are you doing here, and you have become Herculi Poirot, I don't know that he is the man of the year in Tallinn, and even the street newsboys can recognize him in the newspaper all day and night." Max pressed the wound, blood sticking out, and he sighed and sat down in the only chair in the room.

The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, and it is obviously a temporary place to stay.

"What about the original owner here?" Su Mo replied non-questioning.

"I left, took the money and went back to the countryside, such a dilapidated house can barely shelter from the wind and snow, and it is not as good as a mud house in the countryside." Max said.

"I couldn't find an identity that could easily enter that place, so I had to disguise myself as a detective, but unfortunately the Transfiguration was too low, and there were flaws everywhere. But you, I barely recognized, and thought you were really dead. Su Mo smiled.

"I passed on your Transfiguration Technique, and you want me to die so much," Max also smiled, but he quickly grinned in pain: "It's really dangerous, I almost died this time, and it's also the ability to kill me, and the strength is not worse than mine, you know, I'm not good at fighting." ”

"Who is going to kill you?" Su Mo became serious.

"It's supposed to be Archduke Stan, but my whereabouts have been discovered very strangely, and the other party seems to know me well." Max was confused.

"What did you do, Grand Duke Stan is going to kill you." Su Mo asked curiously.

"I became like him, and I wanted to rescue Mosaic and Lexus, and I was already on the verge of success, but I didn't expect that there was an invisible man hidden in that cell, and I was careless." Max had nothing to hide in front of Su Mo.

He passed on Su Mo's Transfiguration Technique, and Su Mo belonged to the kind of guy who was very righteous and angry, and would not be unfavorable to him under normal circumstances.

"Can you still run out if you are discovered?" Su Mo was skeptical.

Turning into Grand Duke Stan going deep into the enemy camp, there is almost no possibility of escape in that case, even Su Mo can't do it, unless he dies and resurrects himself back to the city.

"They just found the flaw, and I didn't completely expose it." Max said.

"And then?" Su Mo asked.

"Then I was chased and killed, and it took a lot of effort to escape temporarily, what about you, why did you suddenly come to Tallinn to find me?" Max asked.

"It's also for Mosaic and Lexus, Lexus passed on my Beastmaster's skills." Su Mo said.

"It's so hard, it's almost impossible." Max sighed, "I've already sent a signal for help to Lord Earl, and I thought you were sent by him to help me." ”

"When did you go to save the mosaic, and when did you ask for help?" Su Mo asked.

"It's been four or five days, and after failing, I sent a message to Lord Earl for help......" Max faintly felt that Su Mo had something to say, but he couldn't think of the terrifying truth for a while.

"Unfortunately, after you called for help, there were more people chasing you, and they were more dangerous than ever." Su Mo answered.

"What do you mean?" Max was puzzled.

"You've been betrayed, and Count Dracula has given your information to Archduke Stan, so they know about your shapeshifting abilities and your whereabouts." Su Mo suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this guy.

"This can't be, Dracula can't betray me!" Max stood up suddenly: "Why did he betray me?" ”

said that it was impossible, but in fact, he had already believed Su Mo's words.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be called the honorific title of Lord Count, he really can't accept the fate of being abandoned, as the blood slaves of Count Dracula, they have served Lord Count for generations, and they have died for the Lord for several generations, so there is no reason to be abandoned.

The point is that Max feels that he is useful, and whoever is abandoned will not be his turn.

"I'll tell you a few facts, believe it or not, Max, the blood on your shoulders is out, and if you don't plug it, you probably won't be able to finish listening to my story." Su Mo threw over a bottle of wound medicine.

This is something for NPCs, and it was later found that it also worked on the apostles, so I brought some with me.

Max's wound was only bandaged, and he didn't even dare to buy the wound medicine, for fear of being guarded, so he was not polite, and took the wound medicine to stop the bleeding first.

"First, Archduke Stan and Count Dracula joined forces, just three days ago, if you count, it was after you went to save the Shadow and the Beastmaster, so after receiving your request for help, Count Dracula weighed it and sacrificed you as a tool to win the trust of Archduke Stan." Su Mo relied entirely on speculation, but this analysis was entirely based on real intelligence.

"What else?" Max's medicated wound began to bleed again.

"The second fact, a certain generation of your ancestors did not die naturally, but were recognized by Baron Santos Baron Santos?" Su Mo was very cruel and began to say that the second one was undoubtedly stabbed on someone's liver and intestines.

"Acquaintance!" Max closed his eyes.

"He dismantled one of your ancestors and then researched an alchemical item, have you ever seen this?" Su Mo took out a few masks and showed them to the transformers one by one.
