Chapter 262: Detective Roland
"There is only one truth! You are the real murderer of Jack! His new wife, Rose! β
I pointed loudly at the little woman who was sobbing in my aunt's arms, and the other villagers in the room were shocked and disbelieving in their minds, the young couple had just been newly married, and they had been in a good relationship all day.
Jack was suddenly killed, and the most heartbroken was Rose, she had cried and fainted several times, how could it be her hand.
"The evidence is the cause of Jack's death, the knife wound on the neck is not a real fatal injury, nor is the black green handprint on the neck, the iron blue face is the key, he was poisoned! The handprint on his neck was just an action he longed to breathe in despair. The open doors and windows and the missing necklace were just disguises to disguise the robbers' entrance. β
"Evidence? The proof is this half bottle of poison we found in your backyard. Medicine! Rose, do you dare to show me your tableware? There's got to be poison on it. The medicine remains, don't tell sΓΉ that all the plates are broken! β
Obviously, the logic of this reasoning is not rigorous, but Ross is not a rich daughter with elite education, she is just a little village girl who has never seen the world, and I suddenly yelled at her, and shook the medicine bottle in front of her, and she panicked and leaked her bottom at once.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't mean to, I just scared him, who told him to take my dowry to gamble, the family can't open the pot anymore...... Woo woo, who knew that Poison-Rat-Qiang would actually kill him. β
Well, the final cause of poor Mr. Jack's death has also been figured out, and it will actually be the rat poison necessary for murder.
"Even if you lose all my dowry, forget it, he still cheats. Or Carl Jr. from the jewelry store next door. Hee-hee. Jack actually had an affair with Carl for three years. Marrying me was just a cover-up, so I made him never go to see him. β
Okay, Carl seems to be a male name, it seems that Jack has a special taste, but looking at Rose, who is crying and laughing, he gritted his teeth and laughed angrily when he said it, and that smile was obviously hysterical and neurotic. While lamenting that this is too informative, I still have some other sighs.
"It seems that for this Comrade Jack, the same sex is true love, heterosexuality is just instinct, how to fall in love with different genders, no, heterosexuality just hung up in less than three months."
But for us who are just outsiders, it is enough to do this process, and after that, we will teach the locals to solve it, but we can complete the commission to find the murderer so quickly. I'm still very effective. "Two hours to solve the case magically, from today. Please call me Detective Rollo! β
"You still need to say, who doesn't know that this woman is a murderer. You're just wasting your time, looking for evidence everywhere, and having such a good time. β
Well, on the wooden table over there, the smaller cat thief is fiddling with the cat ears on his head with an unhappy face, and the brown cat tail is hanging down weakly, it seems that the new cat woman thief Heloise is still very unhappy with her new identity and equipment.
"! I've watched more than 300 episodes of Conan and Kanedaichi's methods, and I know at least 2,000 murder methods and motives, which you guys can easily see through. Hmph, mortal wisdom. β
"You seem to have forgotten that your necromancy was taught by me, and the resentment of the dead is all entangled in that woman, even if you don't use spiritualism, his remnant soul is still screaming in the room, it's just clear at a glance. Wait a minute, remember to do an exorcism ritual, or there may be a ghost. β
Can you still play like this? I was shocked to grow my mouth, I forgot this trick, it seems that the detective profession in the wizarding world is really not easy to mix, the necromancer must be accurate when he is a police officer to investigate a homicide, and it is really fierce to grab a job, but others continue to hit my self-confidence as a detective.
"The deceased's lips still smelled of medicine, and the woman also had it on her hands. It tasted fresh, probably just over two hours ago. β
The big druid with a wry smile touched his nose, but I could see the smugness hidden under his seemingly calm face, as a druid who specializes in transformation, what bear power, leopard speed, and dog's nose are all pediatrics in front of him, they are playing with the power of wurm, the speed of a griffin, the sense of smell of a ghost wolf, this level of poisoning, a little sniff is clear.
And when my eyes fell on Coros, who was eager to try, I turned my head without saying a word, how could I not know that as a judge specializing in judgment, a high-ranking priest of the God of Law, the sinner has nothing to hide in front of her, and it is estimated that she does not even need magic techniques such as lie detectors, and a single conviction technique can solve all problems.
"Your Highness, Little Feather told me that she saw the process of the woman being drugged. He and his wives condemned this heinous act. β
If you don't mention that Little Feather is a sparrow, even a sparrow can open a back X these days, and the honest smile of the sad wind is really deceptive, but for me, only Yawen and Cohen in the team in front of me don't know the ins and outs of the matter, after all, they are cannon fodder hand-to-hand combat professions with useless intelligence.
"Do you think lying in front of the real dragon is valid?" This is a little red who mends the knife casually.
"Your Highness, your daily training also includes this simple criminal detective investigation, and our dark elves also have a certain amount of research on Du medicine, and from the moment we see the corpse, it is probably very clear."
Seeing that I seemed frustrated, Yawen, who had always been honest, seemed a little embarrassed, but she wouldn't lie to fool me.
The little apprentice Cohen didn't speak, but couldn't help nodding in agreement with my reasoning, but as a bitter child born in a peasant family, as a strange knight whose intelligence value was more than twice his strength value, he found the pesticide with only half a bottle left as soon as he entered the door, and saw these clues.
But the master can't help but give face, and for me, this crappy fake exclamation expression and over-the-top nod of approval is the most powerful mending knife. It makes me even more embarrassed.
"Magic or something. It's so nasty! Directly flip through the back pages and spoilers of detective novels to see that the real murderer is heresy. Detectives never need any magic! All we need is keen observation and imagination. Can't you make logical reasoning based on testimony and clues little by little, and push the prisoner into a corner step by step? β
The surprise on everyone's faces, "Don't you have magic anymore, why bother so much" made me even more embarrassed, it turned out that my reasoning from beginning to end was superfluous, so the impulse to run tears turned into practical action.
"I hate the world when it's not scientific at all! This makes the detective how to mix. You guys who play detective games and look directly at the evil ways of the raiders! β
Looking at Rose, who was taken away by the villagers, Bob, the town's mayor, finally relieved. But no matter how chaotic the scene is, the rare murder case in Buga Town has been solved, which is really gratifying, as for the mage captain in the corner who is drawing circles, the mage profession has always been relatively special, this is probably some kind of strange celebration ceremony, Bob is very wise to pretend not to see it.
"Goose rice tofu, the poor monk came to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures from the Tang Dynasty in China, this is my three apprentices and mounts, and the dragon leader is the black dragon horse. He had just learned to walk on his own and would not be ridden during the rebellious period. The dark-skinned elf is the third apprentice, the sand monk. The strong man with the hooked nose is the pig who can turn into a pig, the big apprentice Heroise, will you change the monkey? I'm X, actually biting me! β
From the time he introduced himself when he first met, the old village chief felt that this noble mage seemed to have been hit by a meteorite in his head, and his brain hole was particularly big.
He didn't understand what he said at all, and he didn't seem to listen to what he said at all, but it seems that people can't look good, and the rumors that the mage is crazier and more powerful are actually true, obviously it was just commissioned, and in less than two hours, the case was solved.
It was very bizarre that a homicide occurred in a small town that had always been peaceful, and he also endured a lot of pressure and sight when he commissioned a new adventurer to investigate the homicide, especially the members of this adventure team are very strange, orcs, half-dragons, elves, druids, and humans, which are strange and seem to be very unreliable.
But now that the facts have proved his choice, the human and material evidence is all in place, and the prisoner has honestly confessed, and naturally it has become an iron case that is enough to explain to the villagers, and he is also very pleased with his vision, and he can't help but want to thank the members of the adventure group.
By the time Roland recovered from his depression, the fifteen silver coins he had earned from solving the crime had been turned into a sumptuous dinner and two weeks' hotel accommodation for today, which was still not much, and it was already the largest payment in a month.
Unlike the waves of epic and legendary novels, the real adventure team is like this, especially the ordinary adventurers in the relatively peaceful Central Plains, most of the time they are repeatedly in the errand tasks of helping Charlie's family find dogs and helping little Ridley deliver love letters, saying that they are adventurers rather than a group of hourly temporary workers who accept employment.
Some people become adventurers, just for the exciting adventure career, but in fact, the task of slaying dragons and demons is very rare, and the requirements for strength are also very high.
And for the kingdom of Lagos, which has been peaceful for so many years, the country is very peaceful, that is, a group of goblins appear on the border, which can be regarded as a heavy threat, and even the Royal Knights will rush to brush up on some honor and military merits, and the adventurers in the country can't look at it, and the mercenaries and adventurers who have a little pursuit will consider other countries to make a living.
Of course, if you are in an area where there is constant war, where adventurers and mercenaries are even stronger than the army, growing up in the fight with monsters every day, and even daring to take on war tasks, from mercenary kings to real kings, there are several of them, then it is completely different.
It is obviously not enough to rely on commissions alone, most of the income still depends on the loot in the mission, and there are not a few people who take sheep and eat the enemy and eat the employer, so the reputation of adventurers and mercenaries is not good, especially the no-name freshman adventure group, they are even more untrustworthy models without reputation.
Therefore, most of the adventure groups will accumulate their own reputation and reputation, and the tasks that are slightly higher will also make requirements for the level and reputation of the adventure group, and not everyone can accept them.
Old Bob chose the silver coin adventure group that had no reputation at all, and it was only because this kind of murder between farmers was destined to have no oil and water, and the commission that the town could give was pitiful, and the big mercenary group and senior adventurers couldn't look down on it at all, so they let this group of young people try it, but they didn't expect to solve the case all of a sudden, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
And for me, the choice of this border town close to the Bair Empire was also the result of careful selection.
On the one hand, the Eloin Mountains stretch for thousands of kilometers, and mountain people come out of the mountains every week to break into the world, and becoming an adventurer who can support himself with labor is obviously a good overoccupation, so it is relatively easy to check the identity of adventurers here, and it is impossible for censors to go into the mountains to check the household registration, and it is also very common for fellow villagers to form groups or something, but there are not many adventurers who choose to be in a peaceful town without oil and water.
For the Silver Coin Adventure Group, the large flow of new population means that the fake identity is easy to handle, and the resident population is small and the management is not strict but can be much less troublesome, and the Silver Coin Squad can run in the town a little, adjust and imitate the accent of the locals, and it is also convenient to do things in several surrounding countries.
For me, that epic quest is going to be triggered by the Cloud Tower in the Mage Country, which is obviously an important task node, but I don't have the idea of going directly, I don't go to the Baier Empire to see the legendary undead plane gate, I am a little uneasy, in order to be able to make a more accurate judgment, it is very necessary to go in and see it with my own eyes.
Originally, I was going to sneak into the Bayer Empire directly, but the strict and deformed official management mechanism of adventurers and mage registration mechanism is obviously a big trouble, and it will be fun to be surrounded and suppressed by the Emperor of the Undead and the official Bayer, so I chose the route of saving the country with a curve.
The kingdom of Lagos is not a strong country, but due to the kinship of the royal families of the two countries, it has a good relationship with the neighboring country of Bair, and the citizens of the two countries have a lot of contacts, and although this town is not prosperous, it is not far from the main road to the Bair Empire, the official tolls and hotels are too expensive, and there are many senior merchants who want to rest in the houses and small shops a little farther away.
My idea is also very simple, since there are dealers, it is natural to have the opportunity to recruit guards, and when I meet a rich businessman with a hard enough identity, I can find a suitable opportunity, and show enough strength to show myself appropriately, and just blend in.
The more powerful the dimensional gate, the more huge it is, and once activated, the more obvious the elemental fluctuations will be, and I can't hide it, I can't tell if I follow the merchant around, and I will be able to achieve my expected detection goal.
"But it's boring to wait, I've already found Catherine next door six times with a kitten, or let's just make a cat meat hot pot, or send Heloise over to appease this silly bear kid who feeds cats bones and lollipops every day."
Since the shape of the northern land is going well, and my time is not in a hurry, I am enjoying the happy days like a vacation.
Of course, because the racial composition of this adventure group is too mottled, and the wanton spending money is far more than it earns, in the end, the adventure group is regarded by the villagers as a second-rate mage born in a rich family, with bodyguards (strong man Storm Eagle), concubines (elves), pets (a certain catwoman continues to bite), it is completely understandable.
And a few weeks have passed, when Xiaohong has killed the last drink in the town, and all the tasks that have been hung out in the town have been brushed and brushed again, the right opportunity and the merchant have still not met, but another agreed object has come to the door by himself.
"Lilith? Why are you here so soon, Amira? (To be continued......)
