Chapter 1617: The Second Evidence
"So we need to continue investigating. In the face of the extremely powerful Master Madison, Pat looked so cowardly that he didn't even dare to refute loudly, and he looked like the one who was at fault.
"If you want to continue the investigation, why did you invite the warden of Basra Prison?" Master Madison raised his voice and rebuked, "If I'm not mistaken, the warden can get here so quickly, it must have used the teleportation room of the Invincible Armada, right? How can you use the resources of the military department for a groundless guess!"
Master Madison's words made Alfie look sideways for a while, when did Master Madison know so much about the military department?
Alfie didn't have time to think about it, and Pat, who was forced into a corner by Master Madison, was still stubbornly resisting: "At least we don't have any information about the Soul Blade fragments, so Mr. Alfie is the most suspicious." This matter is very important, and it is a last resort to invite the wardens to come, and in order to solve the case as soon as possible, it is reasonable to use the resources of the military department. β
"No other information about the Soul Blade?" Master Madison sneered, "I remember that the Soul Blade seems to be Franco O'Bright's personal weapon, if the Soul Blade has been shattered, can't the O'Red family keep one or two fragments?"
"Thank you for reminding me, in this case, the O'Bright family is indeed suspicious, and I will report it to the chief of staff. Pat said as if he had woken up from a dream.
"In that case, Alfie is much less suspicious, can we ask these obnoxious wardens to leave?" Master Madison asked with an imposing voice.
"This ...... Theoretically, Mr. Alfie should be in the spotlight of the wardens at all times until he is completely cleared of suspicion. Pat said embarrassedly.
"Pat, do you have to let me say it? You should know that the O'Bright family is much more suspicious than Alfie, after all, the O'bright family has just been punished by Rey III, and it is very likely that they will hold a grudge for it. The motive for the assassination is much more than Alfie!" Master Madison said with an ugly face, he didn't expect Pat to be so faceless.
"You're right. Seeing Master Madison's anger, Pat quickly calmed down before continuing, "But Mr. Elphie's suspicions are not limited to the Soul Blade. β
"Oh, what's the doubt? Why didn't you say it before?" said Alfie, who stopped hearing this, protesting fiercely. Didn't the Imperial War Department think that they hadn't poured enough dirty water on him?
"According to what I've got......" Pat pointed to a small mechanical artifact hanging from his ear, and Alfie recognized at a glance the purpose of the earbud-like thing, which could transmit sound from a distance. It seems that the Imperial War Department is not useless, and has more or less invented something practical.
β...... It seems that what really killed His Majesty the Emperor was not a fragment of the Soul Blade, but a potion. Pat looked at Master Madison and Alfie with a strange look on his face and continued.
"What potion?" Alfie's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and she asked sensitively.
"Powerful corrosive agents. Pat stared at Alfie and said, refusing to let go of any change in Alfie's expression.
"Even if it's a powerful corrosive potion, what does it have to do with Alfie? In this way, it seems that I am more suspicious, right?" Master Madison Shrine gave Alfie a complicated look, but still spared no effort to defend him.
"Master Madison, since you returned to the Imperial Capital, you have condescended to stay in this laboratory, and you have hardly had any contact with the outside world, so your suspicion can be ruled out. Pat said seriously, "And during this time, the raw materials you used to prepare the potion have been recorded by the Imperial Military Department, and there are no raw materials needed to prepare the powerful corrosive potion at all. β
"But I haven't had any potions lately. Alfie emphasized. His hunch was correct, and after seeing Rey III killed by a powerful corrosive potion under the royal tower, he felt that this pot was likely to be buckled on his head.
"The problem is that you have a lot of inventory before. Pat reminded.
"But those stocks have already been sold to your Imperial Military Department through the black market auction through Mr. Bishut, so aren't you yourself suspicious?"
"Mr. Elfi, I think you must have misunderstood something. The Imperial War Department had long been informed that someone would cause trouble at the celebration, and in order to minimize the damage, they offered attractive prices and bought various potions at black market auctions. Pat said with a look of regret on his face: "But we did not expect that, despite the best preparations, some people still withheld some of the potions and did not take them out, and in the end these terrible potions fell into the hands of the assassins. β
"Are you alluding to me?" Elfie's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he could fully understand Pat's insinuation.
"It would be nice if you could admit it yourself. Even if you don't admit it, we'll look into it. Pat smiled tolerantly, looking at Alfie as if he were looking at a real prisoner, "But I have to remind you that on the Iliad continent today, only you and Master Madison can make such a terrifying potion, and you are almost the only suspect when Master Madison's suspicion can basically be ruled out!"
"Pat, you're saying this a bit absolutely, aren't you? Even I can't be sure of the whereabouts of every bottle of potion I've concocted, let alone Alfie?" Master Madison said with a frown, "Maybe the bottle of powerful corrosive potion that the assassin got was my previous work, and I don't know how it ended up in his hands." β
"Master Madison, don't be funny. What killed His Majesty the Emperor was a powerful corrosive potion, which, as far as I know, could only be concocted by a Sanctuary-level apothecary. If I'm not mistaken, it's only been two months since you advanced to the Sanctuary Realm, and during that time, you've configured a few bottles of powerful corrosive potion, haven't you counted them in your own mind?" asked Pat aggressively.
"This ......" Master Madison was speechless for a while, in fact, he had only prepared a few bottles of Sacred Domain-level powerful corrosive potions, and all of them were given to Alfie to fill his faΓ§ade, but saying it at this time was undoubtedly equivalent to pushing Alfie, who was already on the edge of the cliff, again.
"Lord Pat, you just said that the Powerful Corrosive Elixir is a super potion that can only be prepared by Sanctuary Apothecaries, how can I make it? You don't think I'm also a Sanctuary Apothecary, right?" Alfie immediately retorted sharply.
"You are not a Sanctuary Apothecary, but you are the Child of Victory, and it is not surprising that any miracle has happened to you. And we have enough evidence that you've ever used a powerful corrosive potion!" Pat confidently dealt Alfie the fatal blow.
