In the real world, if you encounter a major criminal case like this, it will be absolutely grinding to the death, not to mention the on-site investigation and forensic identification, and you don't know how much time you have to waste just the interrogation transcript and the higher-level meeting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The black market merchant changed the trading time to the early morning of the 30th of each month, which means that Su Xiao had to set off at least before the sun went down on the 29th, otherwise he would definitely not be able to catch up.

Is it in time? Su Xiao looked at Alice and Ellie Jie who were playing in his room, and his heart was entangled to the extreme, he didn't want to let go of any first-hand news about the murder, and at the same time, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to meet with the black market merchants. Otherwise, if you want to get the coveted blood droplet, you will have to wait until today next month.

Contrary to Su Xiao's expectations, he had just returned to the elven house, and in less than half an hour, a little knight in silver armor knocked on the door in a hurry to report, saying that the case had made preliminary progress, and asked him to go to the headquarters of the knights in the city together.

The head of the Knights in the City is Alexander, but Alexander's direct leader is the Lord of the City, so the headquarters of the Knights in the City is in the castle of the City Lord. When Su Xiao arrived with the little knight, it was not only Alexander who was waiting for them, but also the city lord, Merlin, Langdon, and the two brothers Alan and Bernard were also on their side.

Seeing Su Xiao enter the door, the city lord was the first to step forward and greet: "Su Xiao, I heard that you led the brave men to defeat the beast tide again, and you have made remarkable achievements." On behalf of Peacock Villas, I would like to extend my highest respect and gratitude to the brave! ”

"It should be, it should be." Su Xiao didn't come to receive the reward, and after dealing with the city lord very perfunctorily, he hurriedly walked towards Alexander, and asked as if no one was around, "What's the situation?" ”

In medieval Western countries, the integration of church and state and military and political was a very common phenomenon, and the power status of officers and bishops of the same rank would be far greater than that of civilian officials, so the king was often held by military attachés, and the pope was the king's authorizer.

This is also true in this world. Although the city lord has the highest rank and title in Peacock City, Alexander, the head of the knights, and Langdon, the archbishop, are not much lower than him. It was because of the fear that his rights would be challenged that ten years ago the lord of the city would do everything possible to drive Simon Marca out of the court and put the obedient Kandal on the throne.

Let the past pass, and say this just to make everyone understand why Alexander can be a brother and sister to Su Xiao in front of the city lord.

Alexander was born with a tiger's back, but his mind was thick and fine, he did not look at no one because of his high position, but first smiled apologetically at the city lord, and then said to Su Xiao: "I have already sent people to Trisi's house and Hufei's house, and the body is indeed in the villa." I thought you should want to know the details of the case, so I sent someone to call you as soon as possible. ”

Su Xiao couldn't wait to ask, "Is it possible to lock up the murderer?" ”

"How can it be that easy? It can only be said that there is a general direction. Alexander shook his head helplessly, and handed the records collected by his subordinates to Su Xiao, and then said: "We went door to door to inquire about the situation, but because the incident happened around the time of the beast tide, those people either hid in their homes with the doors and windows closed, or ran to the north gate to welcome you back, so no witnesses were found, and the neighbor next door also said that they did not hear any strange movements." ”

Su Xiao analyzed: "If the crime happened in front of the beast tide, and the unemployed did not dare to go out, the whole street should be silent." If the crime had occurred after the beast tide, the vast majority of people would have rushed to the north gate, and there would be few people on the street, and it would not be too noisy. It's just that Grandma Trisi is alone, but Grandma Huffei has servants and bodyguards at home, and if she wants to kill the head of the family quietly in such a quiet environment, the murderer is definitely not unemployed, and it is very likely that many people committed the crime. ”

"You're smart enough!" Alexander knew that he shouldn't laugh at this time, but he couldn't help but smile and praise Su for a moment, "It's true that Triss hasn't found any valuable clues in the house, but the Pullin family's villa is a mess!" ”

"Including Hugh Feplin himself, there were fourteen corpses lying in the villa, four men and ten women. The four male corpses are all mercenaries registered in the mercenary hall, and they are ranked according to their ranks, namely level 27 swordsman, level 27 ice magician, level 25 magic swordsman, and a level 21 sky knight. ”

"You mean...... All the people in the villa are dead? ”

Hearing Alexander's words, Su Xiao couldn't help but be a little afraid. You know, Alyselle usually lives with Grandma Huffield, and if it weren't for the little girl's eagerness to play with Alice and left the villa, her body would definitely be displayed in that villa at this time. Thinking of the picture of the innocent Ellie Jie lying on the solid wood floor covered in blood, Su Xiao's back was cold!

"yes, the whole villa is dead." Thinking of the scene he had seen with his own eyes, Alexander's tone was also a little heavy, "However, if you want to deal with four mercenaries at the same time, and there are three mercenaries above level 25, there are not many people in Peacock City who can do it." You're one, I'm one, Simon is one, plus Kandal and Kakin, it's heavenly. ”

Su Xiao recalled slightly, feeling that Alexander's words were not necessary. If you want to compare levels and strengths, Merlin and Langdon, two veterans who have advanced their careers, definitely don't lose to anyone, but one of them is a map cannon profession, and they bombard indiscriminately at every turn, and the other is a nurse profession, and their attack skills are almost zero, so it is obviously difficult to do this kind of silent assassination.

"So...... More than one murderer? Su Xiao asked suspiciously.

Alexander nodded and said: "The geographical location of the two villas where the crime occurred is not small, and it must be difficult for one person to kill the two old men, Tris and Huffield, in a short period of time, and place their heads in such a conspicuous place as the Holy Virgin's Square. Especially if I have to put down the four mercenaries hired by the Purin family in such a short period of time, I won't feel easy. The murderer can't be one person, and there may be several masters! ”

Su Xiao looked at Alexander suspiciously, "Listening to what you said, it seems that you already know who the murderer is?" ”

"How can you?" Alexander shook his head with a wry smile, "Those servants of the Purin family were all killed by a single blow, but those four mercenaries all have the power to fight. From the on-site observations, as well as the detailed comparison of some masters within our team, we still found a clue. ”

"Although the killers tried to destroy the scene, they were in a hurry, and they couldn't have done it perfectly. We found a circle of blood spots spreading outward on a wall, and after comparing the skills of many classes, it was finally determined that this circle of blood spots should be caused by the Berserker's level 35 skill burst in anger. Also, when we examined the corpse, we found an unnatural bruise on the ice mage's corpse, most likely caused by the scepter. ”

Hearing this, Su Xiao also understood, looked at Alexander's eyes and said: "The professions of the four mercenaries are swordsman, ice magician, magic swordsman and sky knight, among which there is no berserker, and it is impossible for the ice mage with a staff to hit himself with a staff, so there is at least one berserker and one legal profession among the murderers." ”

"Not exactly." Alexander further explained: "Although mages can use scepters, it is difficult for elemental mages and ice mages to kill silently because of their skills, so the other person is the best way to fight!" (To be continued.) )
