Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Bloody Affair in Lausanne (I)
The time of the crime was 19:28 on April 23, the scene of the fourth homicide
Finnick: "I went to the police station and consulted. The fourth homicide was a male, 36 years old, who died from multiple stab wounds to the abdomen, with a wound of 5.8 centimeters in diameter and a width of about 1.5 centimeters. According to the forensic examination, the knife wound entered the victim's body for a total of 12 centimeters, and there was no poison reaction inside the wound. ”
Max: "Bishou or short knife, and stabbed several times in a row......"
Chris: "What does the fourth victim have in common with the victims of the first three homicides?" ”
Fennick: "I don't know, I just know that at the scene of the four murders, a copper coin was found, which is not one of the currencies used in the mainland, this is the photo." ”
Hitbels: "It's not ......"
Chris: "XT, you know what this is? ”
Hitbels: "This is the sign of the 'Dark Smugglers'!" ”
Three: "What? ”
Although the scene of the murder has been cordoned off, all the evidence at the scene has been brought back to the police station for analysis and investigation, and no one is at the scene, except for Hitbels and others
Fennick pretended to be an Aquila investigator and obtained a lot of important information from the police station under the pretext of reconfirming the clues, and brought back a photograph that contained a copper coin, but it was not the currency of any clan throughout the ages
The reverse of the coin depicts a tree, but the roots are dark, not the same earthy yellow, and the obverse is a portrait of a man, but with the horns of a sheep and two protruding fangs in his mouth
It was hard to understand what this meant, and Hitbels could see at a glance that this was the 'badge of a member' belonging to the 'Dark Smuggling Regiment'
Hitbels: "The 'Dark Smuggling Group' was formed by my order before the Dark Age, and their primary purpose was to help the Dark Emperor** seize war funds. The members of the Dark Smuggling Group include demons, humans, and orcs, and they have organized branches all over the world, and because the location of the incident is within each race, no one can find out, and this privateer group is under the command of my Dark Empire. In order to identify those as my own people, I specially ordered someone to design a special badge for the smuggling group, so that when my army began to invade, I could recognize my own people. However, when the Dark Age began, I ordered the smuggling group to be dismantled. ”
Finnick: "In other words, this smuggling group did not obey orders, but lived in the shadows all the time. And because they spread all over the world, the Tenjin-sama was not able to completely eradicate them. ”
Hitbels: "The number of smuggling insignia is limited, each member will only wear one, and since this is a status symbol, it is impossible for them to discard their own." ”
Chris: "In other words, these four victims were also members of the smuggling group, and for some reason, they were killed by someone, maybe there was an internal conflict. ”
Max: "Do you know where the Marauders are in Lausanne?" Even before the Dark Age. ”
Hitbels: "Of course, follow me. ”
The three of them followed Hitbels to a bar where there were not many customers and the bartender was at the counter, wiping glasses. Hitbels slowly walked over to the bartender
Hitbels: "Two Brac spirits, one for me and one for Hita." ”
Bartender: "Ginseng Giant Tree, know its age well." ”
Hitbels: "The Root of Darkness." Know it well. ”
Bartender: "Please come to table three, wait a moment." ”
Hitbels: "Okay. ”
With a puzzled look on their faces, the three of them went to table three in the bar and sat down
Finnick: "XT, what did you just say?" ”
Hitbels: "Slogan. Corresponds to the badge, Brack Spirits, which is black, the front portrait represents the demon, which is 'I', and the tree on the back is named 'Tower of Hope', which is 'Hita'. After confirming the meaning of the coin, it is the right slogan. The towering and dense giant tree refers to the upper part of the tree on the back of the coin, and the dark root is the dark root at the bottom of the tree. ”
Chris: "A century-old foundation based on the depth of the roots in the ground. It seems that you were already determined to unify the world. ”
Hitbels: "This is the purpose of the original establishment of the Dark Empire, and here comes the contact. ”
Just as everyone had finished talking about the meaning of the slogan, a man came from a room in the bar and sat down
Taror: "Who are you, and why do you know our code?" ”
Hitbels: "It's not easy to talk here, let's talk about it inside." ”
Tarol: "Okay, you come with me." ”
Because when Hitbels and others go out on field missions, they will disguise their faces, after all, the faces of elves and demons can be seen by others at a glance, not to mention that Hitbels is the Lord of Darkness known to the world, and his image has spread all over the world.
Since they arrived in a Terran city, Max, Finnick, and Hitbels all disguised themselves as humans, and Chris, who was a Terran himself, did not need to disguise, even if he was a ninth-level dark web informant, few people would remember the image of a dark web informant, and they came and went without a trace.
The four of them, led by Tallor, entered the door that Tarol originally walked out of, although there was a room behind the door, there was a secret passage inside, and after Tarol pulled down the mechanism, the secret passage appeared from behind the wine rack
Through the secret passage, they came to a basement, where there were many people, and they were naturally members of the 'Dark Smuggling Regiment'
Smuggling Group Member 1: "Tarol, who are they?"
Taror: "They said the slogan, so I brought them in. ”
Smuggling Gang Member 2: "Only generations of Smuggling members know the slogan, how do they know it?"
Hitbels: "Before the Dark Lord was executed, he told the gods everything, including the slogans about the raiders and the location of the strongholds. And we came to investigate by the order of the gods, so naturally we know your slogan. ”
Tarol: "The gods let you come?" Let you do something, kill them all! ”
Chris: "According to the investigation report, we have learned of four murder scenes, and all of them have the same piece of evidence, a copper silver coin, this copper coin is the badge of the dark smuggling group, which means that the victim must have some kind of connection with the smuggling group, and we want to know why." ”
{Leader of the Smuggling Regiment} Mrak: "Since the gods already know about our existence, since he didn't order us to be eliminated directly, it seems that he still leaves us a way to live, okay, I will cooperate with you ......"
Finnick: "First of all, do you know these four victims?" ”
Mrak: "Of course, they... They are all members of the smuggling group. ”
Max: "It's exactly what we guessed......"
Mrak: "But there was only one person who killed them. ”
Four: "What?!" ”
Chris: "However, according to our information, it is clear that it is a multi-person murder, how can it be ......?"
Taror: "We don't know why, but according to the brothers, it is said that almost all of them were faces. ”
Fennick: "Clone! ”
Max: "In order not to be suspected of a lone person, the scope of the murderer is spread to many people, so that the murderer who acts alone has a lot of chances of being suspected." ”
Hitbels: "Did they see with what weapon the murderer killed them?" This will help us narrow down our search. ”
Mrak: "That's the strange part, one of us who was lucky enough to see the third murder, although he saw several people with the same faces, but only one of them did the murder. However, the murderer only punched the murdered brother a few times, and finally the brother fell down with a few more knives on his body, but the murderer did not have a weapon in his hand. ”
Chris: "And what are the characteristics of that murderer, such as the magic energy when he committed the murder?" ”
Mrak: "Not really. Oh, by the way, the brother did mention that the man seemed to be wearing a special bracer on his wrist, but there seemed to be a lot of grooves in the bracer. ”
Max: "Groove? Multiple? Bracers ............"
Four people: "It's the 'Bracers of the Seven Gods'!" ”
Hitbels: "Where's that brother?" I don't want to talk to him about specific things. ”
Tarol: "I'm sorry, that brother ......"
Mrak: "The dead of the fourth murder!" ”
Four: "What?!" ”
??? "There's still no clue to that thing, and the trail has been discovered, so it's hard now." ”
At this time, Hitbels and the others had already walked out of the bar, and the clue they wanted to get had been obtained, although they had gained very little, but they had obtained an important clue, that is, the 'Bracers of the Seven Gods'!
The Bracers of the Seven Gods, is a masterpiece of Vetaze who forged the 'Ancient Eight Artifacts', it has a power that ordinary people can't imagine, and its function is also unknown, no one has ever really seen the true ability of the Bracers of the Seven Gods, only that it is a weapon that Vetaze used to recover the other seven Ancient Eight Artifacts
Chris: "The bracers of the Seven Gods, which have disappeared for so long, have appeared, but in the hands of a serial killer. ”
Hitbels: "During the Dark Age, I had my men search for information about the Wetaze Hermitage and the Bracers of the Seven Gods, but they found nothing. ”
Max: "If even XT, who has unified the world, can't find the whereabouts of the bracers of the seven gods, then who would show up with the bracers of the seven gods and perform tusha?" ”
Chris: "Wait... tusha! ”
Fennick: "Did you think of anything?" ”
Chris: "I ask you, if you want to kill someone, for what purpose?" ”
Max: "Purpose? For us, if we really want to kill people, then the murderer's target must be a threat to the peaceful order, or rather...... Don't! ”
Fennick: "The four people killed by the murderer are all members of the smuggling group, this is not an aimless murder, to test the ability of the bracers of the seven gods, but to get some information from these four people!" ”
Chris: "XT, do you know any secrets within the smuggling group?" Or what secrets do they know? ”
Hitbells: "The Marauding Regiment was only used by me to plunder assets to expand their war preparations, and they were dismissed by me after the completion of the rule, which means that after that, all the information they obtained was not in the information of the Dark Empire, but only ......"
Chris: "Just what? ”
Hitbels: "By the way, I remember, in the smuggling group, there is an ancient eight artifact that I let them keep!" ”
Three: "What!?" "Baidu" The latest chapter of "The New Era of the Age of Warcraft" is free to read for the first time.
