Chapter 36: The Assassin and the Knight: Mirabeau's Death
Coming out of the Drassell Mansion, Tang Tu used to go to the Theater Cafe first, but he didn't get any new news, and then he planned to meet Mirabeau, maybe he would have news of Ayman there. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Tu did not go to the Assassin headquarters, but to Mirabeau's mansion, where he had mentioned that he wanted to go back to the mansion for two days of rest.
When he came to Draxel's mansion, there were no servants to greet him, and the door downstairs was also ajar, Tang Tu was alert and quietly walked up the stairs.
Mirabeau's bedroom door was open, and Tang Tu first saw an unexpected figure, and then saw Mirabeau lying down on the bed next to him with his eyes closed.
"Alice, why are you here? What happened to Mirabeau? Tang Tu walked in.
Alice turned her back to Tang Tu, her eyes flashed, and she turned to Tang Tu with a helpless expression, "Mirabeau is dead, he was already dead when I arrived here." ”
Tang Tu picked up Mirabeau's hand and touched his pulse, there was no pulse. Mirabeau must have been in pain when he died, for his expression was twisted and his lips were purple and black, similar to the symptoms of poisoning.
Alice picked up a badge from the bedside, "I think the murderer wanted to frame the Templars," and handed the badge to Tang Tu, "This is the Templar badge, and I happened to be here, so of course I would be suspected of being the murderer..."
"Where's your badge, have you lost it?" Tang Tu asked.
Alice pulled a badge out of her pocket, "No, mine is here." ”
"Then this badge is not yours," Tang Tu returned the badge to Alice, "by the way, why are you here, Rafinier?" ”
"He's still in the basement, and I came to Mirabeau on his advice," Alice grumbles, "He said that we should cooperate with the Assassin Order, and that our strength alone could no longer protect me, so he asked me to come to Mirabeau, the creator of the reconciliation agreement, and one of the few elders of the Assassin Order who had good intentions towards the Templars. ”
"Raphinier is right, Mirabeau will agree to your proposal, but now that he has been killed, things are even more troublesome." Tang Tu opened the task panel and took a look, but the task was not updated.
Alice was a little annoyed, "So what are we going to do, to find out who killed Mirabeau?" ”
“... Should be. Tang Tu lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned on his eagle eyes to scan the room.
Suspicious objects appeared, the badge in Alice's hand, the white handkerchief that fell under the bed, and the two wine glasses in the corner cabinet, and the four items were shrouded in yellow light and shadow, which was the effect of Eagle Vision.
Tang Tu picked up the white handkerchief, and Alice snatched it over and looked at it, "What does the handkerchief commonly used by the ladies of Paris mean, is it hinting at me?" ”
Tang Tu was noncommittal, opened the cabinet and took out the wine glasses inside, and there were still wine stains in both glasses.
Alice took the glasses and sniffed them, holding one of them up and said, "The juice of the aconitum poisonous weed, the poison commonly used by the Templars to execute prisoners, I also have it..."
"Mirabeau died of poisoning, he knew the other party, invited the other person into the house, and poured wine for the other party, but the other party poisoned his wine glass." Tang Tu made a summary.
"What to do, I'm good, once the Assassin Order thinks I'm involved in Mirabeau's death, then I really have nowhere to run." Alice winked at Tang Tu sadly.
"Well, no one but me knows you're here, and I'm not going to tell anyone else." Tang Tu said.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief and patted Tang Tu's shoulder, "Good teammate, be righteous." ”
Tang Tu smiled, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"I want to find out who killed Mirabeau," said Alice, "what about you?" ”
"I must go back to the Assassin headquarters first, Mirabeau is dead, I need to inform the others." Tang Tu said.
"Alright then, I'll continue to investigate the murderer, and you go back to the assassin headquarters."
"Then watch out for yourself."
Tang Tu came out of Mirabeau's mansion and pondered all the way to the Assassin headquarters, where only the elder Kuima was on duty. Tang Tu told Kuima Mirapo that he was dead, and told him the clues he had found, but he didn't mention Alice's presence at the scene.
Quema sighed, the expression on his face not looking surprised, "I've been worried about Mirabeau's safety ever since he proposed a reconciliation agreement with the Templars, especially after Drasseur's death, and he still insisted on pushing for a reconciliation agreement, so I have a hunch that this day will come sooner or later. ”
"Do you think the killer was a member of the Knights, or an opposition within the Assassin Order?" Tang Tu asked.
Kuima glanced at Tang Tu with an unkind look, "Don't talk about this kind of problem easily, if you don't handle it properly, it will cause civil strife in the Brotherhood." I think the murderer is a member of the Knights, but I know that you suspect your own people, then I will give you time to investigate, and until the truth comes out, do not make a noise, the Brotherhood must unite, and do not let our enemies rejoice in the shadows. ”
"Yes, I'll keep that in mind." Tang Tu solemnly assured.
"You said that Mirabeau was poisoned by aconitum grass, and I remember that there was a merchant in the Marais who sold this poison in private, and you can go to him and check it out." Quema said.
Following the route pointed out by Kuima, Tang Tu came to the Marais district and found the merchant, who was looking at a box and seemed to notice Tang Tu when he turned around, but quickly pretended not to see and turned his head.
Tang Tu's eyes sank and walked through the crowd, the merchant's face changed, he put down the box in his hand and glared at Tang Tu angrily, "Why are you here again?" I don't have anything worth grabbing here! ”
Tang Tu was stunned for a moment and said, "You recognize the wrong person, we met for the first time, someone robbed you of something, and they still look like me?" ”
The merchant put his arms around his chest and squinted at Tang Tu, "I really admit that I am wrong, you don't look like him, but the clothes you are wearing are almost identical, which caused me to admit my mistake." ”
"Really? A guy dressed in the same outfit as me robbed you of something? What did he rob? Tang Tu asked.
“... Some useless herbal juices. The businessman didn't seem to want to say.
"Useless thing, you are still so angry?" Tang Tu asked rhetorically.
“... It's the juice of the aconitum poisonous weed. The merchant said angrily.
"It turned out to be poison, no wonder you are nervous, what does that person look like?" Tang Tu asked.
"About fifty years old, dirty hair, a beard that hasn't been shaved for many days, a strong body, a strong attitude, that's probably all." The merchant said as he reminisced.
Tang Tu already knew who the merchant was describing, "Thank you, by the way, did a lady come to you just now?" ”
"How do you know?!" The merchant's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.
"She's my friend," Tang Tu said.
"Is it?" the merchant's expression was a little meaningful.
“... At least that's what I think. Tang Tu added in a voice that only he could hear.
