Chapter 43: Murder
The old-eyed and dizzy Nat has a hobby, which is to drink some golden sand stuff before going to bed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBusy with heavy duties every day, a glass of golden sand brew is necessary in order to fall asleep quickly.
On this day, after processing the backlog of documents for the day, Nat poured a glass of golden sand from the bottle as usual, squinting at the foam floating in the glass, and the pale yellow of the wine shimmered in the light, just like Nat was in a peaceful and comfortable mood at this moment.
What a luxurious glow, this fine wine that only officials have the opportunity to drink. Thinking of this, Nat was wondering if he should also give the city lord a bottle, otherwise he, the sheriff, would reach retirement age next year, and he was very reluctant to give up this fat difference, nor would he be willing to give up these fine wines......
Just as Nat was getting ready to taste it, there was a commotion outside.
He doesn't like it, he hates being disturbed when he drinks, the doorman is a young man he likes, he used to be well-behaved and interesting, why is he so ignorant today?
Thinking of this, he put down his glass, dragged his heavy body, and walked towards the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the panicked doorman stumbling forward, "Oh no, my lord, something is wrong!" ”
Nat frowned, the young man was still too young to be qualitative, "What's wrong?" ”
"A headless corpse was found in an alley near the Royal Academy......"
Nat was even more displeased, so he influenced himself to drink for this little thing? I don't know how many murders there are in the Emerald City every day, and every one of them will be bothered, and I, the sheriff, must not be tired to death? Those civilians, the homeless died and died, what is the fuss. He held his nerve and continued to ask, "Do you know the identity of the deceased?" ”
"According to the deceased's attire, the identity can be determined ......" Speaking of this, the doorman's eyes also revealed panic, "It should be Young Master Nord......"
Nat was momentarily stunned and stammered, "What...... Which Nord young master? You're not talking about His Majesty's nephew, Nord Lane......"
The doorman kept nodding.
Damn, Nat closed his eyes and slapped his head hard, why did he have to do such a big thing when he was about to retire?
He roared loudly, "Inform all the garrisons, martial law is in the whole city!" The other guards went with me to the crime scene! ”
Because of such a murder case, the originally peaceful atmosphere of the Emerald City was shattered. There were guards patrolling the streets and alleys, and the tavern inn that used to be full of adventurers was also deserted at this time.
"His blood has been drained...... the lead paladin looked at the whitened headless corpse, "perhaps the word 'extraction' is more appropriate, because blood usually clotsifs and leaves corpse spots, and it is impossible to completely drain unless it is deliberately extract......ed."
"The incision is smooth, and the murderer cuts the neck directly with a knife...... "The paladin who examined the corpse has a wealth of work experience and is familiar with inspecting the corpse.
"And here......" he lifted the clothes from the corpse's shoulder, a burning mark, "and on this, I smell evil. ”
At this time, the clerk trotted over wiping his sweat, "The confessions of those entourages have been collected, and they are all here......"
"Leave it to me......" A beautiful girl in a wizard's robe descended from the sky, she came directly from the mage tower using flying magic, she said with a blank face, "After all, in terms of blood, I still have to call him a cousin." ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess...... "Everyone salutes together."
The girl motioned to everyone not to be polite, and opened the record with her hand. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, "It seems that the origin of this matter is the ...... of the auditors."
……
Buck stretched, and after yesterday's martial arts class, he went to the library of the mage tower to meditate. He has a tight schedule and wants to grow as much as he can in a year. In his previous life, Io (ao) smashed the slate because the gods only cared about their own ambitions and neglected the believers, so they did it to punish the gods. There is no guarantee that Io will not do this in advance in this life...... When he actually entered this world, those virtual data were materialized, and it became more and more difficult for him to feel at ease.
I went to the Thieves Academy today, and after class, I went to see Isur, and I don't know if the life of the academy knight of Xiao Nizi is going well?
After arranging the day's itinerary for himself, he walked out of the Mage Tower and headed towards the Thieves Academy.
Along the way, he was a little strange, and the atmosphere of the whole academy seemed to become extremely tense, and most of the students came and went in a hurry, and rarely stopped to talk. Most of them met and said a few words, and then said goodbye to each other and left, without stopping for a moment......
What's going on? He sensitively sensed the oppressive aura in the air.
"Yes, that's him!" Suddenly, there was an exclamation from behind him.
Buck turned around, and was one of the servants of the skinny man named Nord yesterday. At this time, he was pointing at him excitedly, and there was a beautiful girl in a mage robe standing beside him.
Hey, isn't this the genius little princess I saw in the dwarven dean's office earlier......
He suddenly realized, yesterday it seemed that he heard the thin man boast that the princess was going to call him cousin, wasn't he frightened by himself, and asked his little cousin to find the field?
Thinking of this, he put his mind at ease, if this is the case, the misunderstanding can be explained clearly, and he is very measured in his own actions, just for fear of getting into trouble.
"Hello?" After saying hello, he thought for a moment and added, "Cousin? Right......"
"I think there are some misunderstandings that need to be explained......"
The girl looked at Buck coldly and motioned for him to continue.
Buck pondered for a moment before speaking, "I admit that I was wrong in the first place, and I was just protecting myself in yesterday's situation......"
"You're not timid, and you're very honest......"
Buck straightened his chest and said proudly: "I have always been tired of hypocrisy and disguise, since I dared to do it then, I dare to take responsibility now......" He estimated in his heart that beating a noble servant was not a big deal, and he could bear it with all his might.
"Whoosh"!
Buck felt something, and immediately turned sideways, and a flaming arrow flew against his chest, directly burning his clothes with a scorch mark.
Shocked and angry, he glared at the girl casting the spell.
"I don't have a problem with you just killing such an idiot, you just have to face the wrath of the Ryan family next......" The girl took out her wand and prepared for battle.
"But you should not desecrate Edmund's blood, the glory of the former Edmund is not something you can insult......"
With a wave of his hands, the barrage of magic missiles came to his face, at least no less than five......
Buck looked at the approaching barrage, and didn't know how to explain, when did I desecrate Edmund's blood? Wait, the skinny man is dead?
Thinking of his previous big words, Buck wanted to give himself a slap, what was going on, he wanted to cry without tears.
