(Sherlock Holmes, please look at the clues and see who can find out who the killer is first!) ）

After reading the oil painting, Qi Dafei walked straight to the office of General Li of the city defense camp and knocked on the door, just as General Li was working inside.

Seeing Qi Dafei coming, General Li was still very welcome, after all, Qi Dafei was also their old acquaintance, and his friendship with the city defense battalion had already reached an intimate state.

"General Li, I came this time to ask about the murder of the city lord's wife." After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Qi Dafei asked straight to the point.

"That's it!" General Li took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it: "This matter is full of strangeness, and I haven't been able to get through it all night. ”

"Oh? Can General Lee reveal a little bit more? Qi Dafei asked.

"You're a good friend of my city defense battalion, and it's no secret that you're here, so it's okay to tell you." General Li stood up and paced back and forth: "The city lord's wife has always had a good reputation, treats people kindly, and has never been involved in any political affairs, this time she was killed inexplicably, and the motive of this killer is one of the doubts. ”

"The second suspicion is that Madame was killed in the bedroom, and she was able to hide from all the guards to enter the City Lord's Mansion to commit murder, and all the servants did not hear any abnormal noise before Madame was killed, how terrifying is the strength of this killer!"

General Li stopped, looked at Qi Dafei in contemplation, and continued: "Third, I began to suspect that the killer's target might not be Madame, but...... The city lord was also at home at that time, why did the killer ......"

General Li didn't say a full sentence, but Qi Dafei naturally knew it, and what he wanted to say was why the city lord was not killed.

In fact, what General Li thought about was basically what Qi Dafei had already thought about, and these revealed suspicious points everywhere, from the murderer's motive to the time and place where his wife was killed.

However, Qi Dafei still had a doubt, he thought about it and asked: "General Li, I saw an oil portrait of the city lord at the door of the council hall, the strength of the city lord must be very high, right?" ”

When General Li heard this, he looked at Qi Dafei, and then whispered: "If you are talking about the ability to handle government affairs, then the city lord is naturally a leader. If it's about combat strength, it's actually ...... The lord of the castle was a man of letters, and he had no ability to fight. ”

Qi Dafei was shocked again after hearing this, and originally guessed whether it was possible that the murderer knew that his strength was not as good as that of the city lord, so he turned his target to the city lord's wife, but now it seems that this case is becoming more and more confusing.

Then both of them fell into deep thought, and finally Qi Dafei asked again, "May I ask General Li can take me to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look?" ”

"This ......!" General Li pondered for a while and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, I have to get the consent of the city lord, if it is in another place where the crime occurred, it is better to say, this time it is in the city lord's bedroom, even if I go, I must first get the consent of the city lord." ”

"Well, I'll ask the city lord when I go back, and I'll take you there if I can." General Li thought about it and added.

"Then there is General Lao Li, I will take my leave first." Qi Dafei got up and said, it seems that there are no favorable clues here, in fact, if the city defense battalion has clues, maybe they can solve the case themselves.

"Oh, by the way, General Li, is this reward released by the city defense battalion?" Qi Dafei, who had already walked to the door, suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked.

"No, it was issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and the bounty was provided by the City Lord's private." General Lee explained.

Qi Dafei left General Li's office thoughtfully, and at this time, the public office area of the council hall building was already in chaos, and all the NPCs were busy, even more panicked than before the last time the blood army attacked the city.

In terms of status, the city lord's wife can at least rank in the top ten in Phoenix, and even she was killed silently, and the NPCs are naturally in danger.

The system makes you die, but it's really dead, and it can't be like the boss killed by the player, and you can refresh one again.

However, there is no need to be afraid of the players in the square outside, all they want is the 10,000 gold.

"Let's just go around the City Lord's Mansion!" Qi Dafei, who had nothing to do, didn't know what to do, so he immediately decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look, anyway, there was no harm.

Thinking of this, he asked the guards about the location of the city lord's mansion, because his friendship with the city defense battalion was very high, the guards respected him very much, and naturally knew everything and said everything.

According to the guidance of the guards, Qi Dafei finally found a huge manor next to a park in the south of the city, Qi Dafei happened to be standing on a high ground and looked at it from afar, the scenery in the manor was picturesque, simple and elegant, majestic and magnificent, surrounded by high vermilion walls, and the entire city lord's mansion was tightly encircled.

The whole manor was facing the street on three sides and next to a forest in the park, and after Qi Dafei came to the edge of the wall, he did not immediately go to the gate, but walked around the wall.

After walking down in a circle, I didn't find anything unusual, there were no buildings around, even pedestrians were very few, but from time to time I would meet a small group of patrolling guards, and I saluted very politely when I saw Qi Dafei.

Qi Dafei naturally inquired carefully, it turned out that there were 3 guard squads patrolling around the City Lord's Mansion all year round, but since the accident, the patrol squad has also increased to 5 teams.

In fact, the walls around this area can already block most players from entering, and the height of the wall is nearly 4 meters, which is difficult to climb even if two people cooperate. The entire city lord's mansion was tightly surrounded, just like the deep palace compound where the ancient Chinese emperor lived.

Qi Dafei also deliberately went to the woods to take a look, the trees near the wall were all cut down, and the nearest one was 7 or 8 meters away, so naturally he couldn't climb over the wall through the big trees.

Qi Dafei, who had observed the circle, finally came to the gate of the manor with a cheeky face, asked the guards if they could enter the inside of the manor to check it, and said that he was here to investigate the case.

The guards didn't embarrass Qi Dafei, but politely refused his request, just saying that after his wife died, the city lord was very sad and locked himself in the house all day, not wanting anyone to disturb him.

Just as Qi Dafei was about to leave, he didn't expect to see General Li coming over with a squad leader, and that squad leader Qi Dafei had also seen last time, it was another female squad leader among the ten squad leaders in addition to Li Jasmine.

"General Li, why are you here too?" Qi Dafei stepped forward to greet him.

"Come to the city host for something, it just so happens that you are also here, then don't leave yet, I'll ask the city lord, if you ask for permission, you can go in and have a look." Then Captain Li introduced the squad leader to Qi Dafei, "This is Captain Zhang, you saw it last time." ”

Qi Dafei was naturally very polite and greeted Captain Xiao Zhang, and then General Li and the others directly entered the City Lord's Mansion.

As a high-ranking general in the city, he commands the military defense of the whole city, so he can naturally enter and leave the city lord's mansion freely.
