Coming downstairs with Alder, Liu Ling found that the big iron cage before had been tightly covered by Alder with a thick black cloth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cage was placed on a small cart, and it seemed that Alder had twisted the handle of the cart just now.

Speaking of Alder's physique, it is estimated that even the previous Merry is not as good as before, although he often goes to the mercenary guild to take on some tasks, but these tasks basically do not require any physical strength.

In addition, Alder doesn't cultivate mana at all, so he is no different from an ordinary person.

However, Liu Ling couldn't figure out how Alder caught such a big python, and at this time he finally had time to ask Alder about this big python.

"Alder, where did you catch this snake?" Liu Ling asked as he pushed the cage out of the room.

Not to mention, although this cage is placed on a small cart, Liu Ling's current physique is better than ordinary people, but it is still a little difficult to push, no wonder Alder twisted his hand before.

Fortunately, the door of this small building is high enough, otherwise it is estimated that even this cage will not be able to be pushed out.

Alder had been observing Xiao Huang standing on Liu Ling's shoulder with great interest just now, Xiao Huang seemed to be stared at by a strange Shu Huang, leaning tightly on Liu Ling's neck, not even looking at Alder.

After hearing Liu Ling's question, Alder stopped observing Xiao Huang, sorted out his thoughts, and then said, "I didn't catch this snake, but I bought it." Don't look at how docile it is now, it's the murderer in a murder case. ”

Tame? After hearing the word that came out of Alder's mouth, Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know how Alder connected this creature that looked so terrifying with the word meek.

"Murderer?" As for Alder's words, Liu Ling was not surprised at all.

From the memories left by Merry, Liu Ling knew that Alder not only liked to study all kinds of strange things, but also always regarded reasoning as a pastime in his spare time.

Every time Alder goes to the Mercenary Guild, most of the missions are some bizarre murder cases where the murderer cannot be found.

It's not that the security services of the empire don't care about these killings, it's that they really can't find the murderer, and in the end these cases will become unsolved. At this time, the families of the victims will often post these headless cases to the mercenary union to try their luck.

Generally speaking, ordinary people are reluctant to take on this kind of task, because it is time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, and most of the time the murderer cannot be found, and in the end, he is so busy that he still can't get anything.

But there are some weirdos, like Alder, who are particularly fond of taking on this kind of task, and this kind of person is also a strange force among the mercenaries who are busy with money every day.

"This matter has to start from three days ago......" Alder cleared his throat, ready to start telling Liu Ling about the origin of the python.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Hand it on, or I'm afraid this cage is going to slide off the cart! Alder's narration had just begun when Liu Ling interrupted him.

Because there is a not too steep slope in front of this small building, Liu Ling almost slid the cage off the trolley when he pushed it just now.

It doesn't matter if the cage breaks, but if that snake escapes from the cage, it's in trouble.

Hearing Liu Ling's words, Alder stopped his story, walked to the small cart and looked at it, and found that the cage was indeed easy to slide off the cart.

"I don't have that much strength...... Alder said helplessly.

"Let's find a rope to tie the cage to it, I really don't know how they moved this cage in at that time......" Ignoring Liu Ling, Alder walked into the house by himself......

……

Five minutes later, everything was ready. Liu Ling finally pushed the cage to the ground, and after getting used to it, he felt that pushing it was not as laborious as before.

Alder followed Liu Ling and continued to tell the story of the snake.

"Three days ago, after dinner, I came to the Mercenary Guild as usual, to see if there were any interesting tasks. Looking at it, a task caught my attention. It's not that this mission is described, but that the publisher of this mission is actually the security department of Moorfa City. ”

"You know, under normal circumstances, the security department of the empire would not go to the mercenary guild to issue such a mission to find the murderer. Because it would make them appear incompetent, and the deadline for this task is actually three days away. You should know that most of these types of tasks will be given more than seven days to complete. ”

"I just had a gut feeling that this case was going to be interesting, so I took the assignment, and then I got detailed documentation about the homicide. It's really a mission issued by the Ministry of Public Security, and I have investigated so many homicide cases, and this is the first time I have received such detailed information about the case. You don't know, I took over a task from an old lady before, and she actually ......"

"Ahem......" found that the more Alder said the farther away from the topic, Liu Ling decisively chose to interrupt him. Otherwise, I guess Alder will tell himself about the other case from beginning to end.

After being interrupted by Liu Ling, Alder also seemed to realize that he had digressed too far from the topic just now, smiled embarrassedly, and then continued.

"I won't go into too many details, I'll just talk about the murder case in general terms. The case took place five days earlier, and the deceased was a widow who had just turned 50. The widow's previous husband was a magic crystal merchant, and after his death, he left the widow not only a small two-story building, but also a lot of possessions. ”

But the widow had a strange temper after her husband's death, and did not go out all the year round, and sent her maid to do everything she needed. If it weren't for the fact that the neighbors could often hear her cursing her maid, they would have thought she was long gone. ”

"One morning, the maid went out as usual to buy the things that the widow needed, and not long after she entered the small building, the gossips outside heard a quarrel between the master and the servant in the room. The neighbors had long been accustomed to arguing with each other, but after a while a frightened scream came from the small building, followed by a crackling sound of various things being broken, and then the surrounding people realized that something was wrong and hurried to rush in. ”

"But because the widow was cautious by nature, and was always afraid that her possessions would be stolen by others, the gate was made of an extremely strong tree called Ambes, and these people were ordinary people who had no ability to break through the gate. And even the windows of the small building were tightly sealed by the widow, and there was no way for ordinary people to get in......"
