After learning that Irelia would be coming, Rhodes realized that he was still in trouble.

It's not because Rod once had anything to do with Irelia, but because Karma herself is more sensitive, and it's already difficult for Rhodes to move her in the form of a private request, and now there's a companion Irelia...... If you don't, this will become a troublesome political event.

Now in the messy political situation in Ionia, the devil knows how long it will take to leave with Karma......

No, we have to find a way.

Is there any way to get Kalmar to follow him on a quick trip to Freljord?

Fear...... Only let her owe herself a big favor.

So, how do you make Karma owe herself a big favor?

Rhodes had his own way of thinking.

Isn't this an opportunity?

As long as he catches Zhenxiong, who has been killed before Irelia and Karma arrive at the scene, and asks Karma to help him seal the Void - in this case, it will be difficult for the Apocalypse to refuse his request, right?

Just do it!

Whispering a few words to Akali, Rhodes quietly infiltrated the mansion.

……………………

The deceased's mansion was large, with its high walls and green tiles - but it was now completely cordoned off because of a tragedy.

Although the elder's son chose to commit suicide by arson at the last moment, because the rescue was relatively timely, there didn't seem to be much of a problem outside the huge mansion.

Following the crowd around the mansion, Rhodes found no traces, and the Arcane Eye didn't detect anything, so it was clear that this incident was really causing trouble.

And within the alert range, a squad is surrounded by a detective-looking figure, conducting a rune energy test, hoping to determine what happened in this way - and Rod scoffs at this guy's "detective" approach.

The rune energy test sounds like a good idea, after all, once you have used rune energy, you will inevitably slip off the trail, but ...... In this kind of case, even if you find any traces, it doesn't make sense.

This is not a deserted place in the wilderness, the elder's mansion is located in the center of the city of Navoli, although there is a high-walled compound, but there are people around it, relying on runic energy traces to detect in this kind of place...... You can find a yarn!

On the surface, the case seems to be the elder's son who has fallen into madness, all the traces on the corpse are his hands, if there is really any real murderer, that murderer will definitely not appear at the scene of the murder, what kind of rune energy detection are you doing at the scene, isn't this looking for misleading?

Shaking his head, Rhodes expressed his disdain for the Ionian "detectives" and went to the scene of the first crime.

Maybe the real killer didn't do it here – but there will always be some useful information here.

Like what...... The blood-stained flowers on the walls.

It's a crimson rosedie.

Rosemaris is a unique flower in southern Ionia, with large, round clusters and many different colors, among which the red rosedie is the most showy.

It's a pity that at the moment, it seems that this glamour has appeared in the wrong place.

Rod levitated himself and, without disrupting the scene, approached the wall and carefully examined the crimson rosedie.

With its large, round clusters and layered petals, this rosedie can be said to come to life – even when Rod smelled it, he smelled a lingering floral scent.

This fishy sweet taste seems to be able to arouse the deepest desires in people's hearts and make people want to stop......

Rod decisively gave himself an arcane wisdom.

The murderer is a pervert.

This beautiful rosedie flower was "painted" by the blood of the victim, and it is precisely because of the subtle difference in the color of each person's blood that this flower is so delicate and moving—and so disgusting to the heat.

So, what is the purpose of the murderer who wasted so much effort, created such a tragedy, and left such a flower?

Showing your cruelty?

What is this obvious flower to disguise?

What is it being told to someone who can understand this?

Or...... All three?

Rod silently lifted himself up, and then asked again about the fishy sweet taste.

Unaffected by the psychedelic effects of the scent, Rhodes carefully analyzed the smell and detected a faint hint of gunsmoke in it.

That's right, the smell of gunsmoke – in Bilgewater, Rhodes smells a lot of it.

Is this flower meant to disguise the smell of gunsmoke?

Quite possibly.

If the person who comes to the detective sees the flower and smells it, then he will definitely be careful about the smell and find out the source of the smell without inhaling it himself.

If nothing else, it must have been a perfume mixed with a psychedelic agent - and by the time they figured out where the smell came from, the smell of gunpowder had probably gone.

Ingeniously, using a gunpowder weapon seems to leave more marks than using the power of runes - but if the perpetrator is willing to clean it up and leave some tricks, the gunpowder weapon will be very difficult to detect.

Before coming to the scene of the crime, Rhodes had imagined many possibilities, the sudden madness of the Elder's son could be a simple disguise, it could be an illusion, or it could be controlled—and now it seems that the hideous-looking guy not far away who stabbed a short knife into his stomach...... It is quite possible that it is controlled.

As long as the person being controlled dies, there will be very few traces left, because the real murderer has never done it himself.

But...... There is a problem with saying this.

If the Elder's Son is controlled, then there will be a very strong runic energy reaction on his body - this runic energy reaction is very obvious, and it is clear at a glance.

Judging from the behavior of those "detectives" outside, they should have checked the rune energy reaction here, but found nothing.

So, by what means did the real murderer control the son of the elder?

At this moment, Rod remembered the psychological innuendo and intimidation he had faced.

In a flash of inspiration, Rhodes carefully observed the state of the Elder's son, and roughly confirmed that this was a person who did not possess the power of runes.

And having come to this expected conclusion, now ...... Rhodes had his own guess about the murderer.
