Chapter 70: The Suspect Who Sues the Dead Bird
In the vast hall, the uneasy aura shuttles between the men and women sitting on the sofa, like a devil who chooses people and devours them, forcing people to make choices that they struggle within.
The most calm of these is undoubtedly doTERRA
"What do you think?" In a small room, Fez, while rummaging through the evidence, opened his mouth to ask Zhou Duan and the others.
"That wound, it's not like a human being, so the other party's demon should also be taken into account, so it seems that DoTERRA is the most suspicious."
"And Moke doesn't know how to draw patterns, so the murderer must have been not far away at the time, and Sir March is not small if he has the opportunity to draw that strange pattern." Siya thought for a moment.
"You are the smartest lady I have ever met, and the most beautiful." Fez praised Siya sincerely.
"The pattern is painted on the stairs, so is it possible that the murderer had already painted it there, and then hypnotized Lloydbee to go there and kill him?"
"And doTERRA's behavior fits that very well." Zhou Duan took the cane he had retrieved from Fez, and speculated.
"Dead people cannot be hypnotized."
"But living corpses are easy to find, but just make sure that you find yourself......"
"Are you biased against doTERRA ? Fez suddenly looked at Zhou Duan and said a little angrily.
"I'm just a little weird, with DoTERRA Personality, he should be more proactive......"
"No, that's not the problem, if it's DoTERRA then he killed Lloyds, hypnotized him into walking to the pattern, what if someone comes up in between?"
"You mean ......"
"DoTERRA is a Black Knight, he doesn't have stealth skills, and I see that he doesn't have blood on his hands......"
"No, I disagree." Zhou Duan looked at the cup in his hand, "In fact, there is a smell of blood on his body." ”
"Are you serious?" Fez was a little serious.
"Mr. Fez, I don't know what kind of friendship you have with this Baron Doterra now, but now that he is the most suspicious, it is better to ask the person concerned than to speculate here."
Fez's face turned red.
"Let's go, then."
Seeing Zhou Duan and a few people coming over, Sir March, who looked a little obscene, was a little excited.
"Hey, Fez, why are you looking for me, I was the first to find out......"
"Shut up." Zhou Duan was a little disgusted by the other party's ugly voice.
"It's not our lucky ......"
"If you want to speak, you just need to answer our questions." A pistol that looked like a toy at Zhou Duan appeared in Fez's hand.
"Good...... Good. March was startled, "But you're ......"
The sound of the safety tugging rang in March's sensitive ears.
"Shut up, I'll shut up."
Fez withdrew his pistol: "Ladies and gentlemen, forgive the rudeness of the people...... Because next, it can be a little rough. ”
"Don't intimidate us, Fez." doTERRA smiled softly, "We'll know everything." ”
"That's best, then, start with you, Miss Hughes, your tastes are as elusive as ever."
The only woman of the four sat on the side in a somewhat casual dress.
Hearing Fez's words, Hughes pouted: "Okay, it's not the first time I've seen this unique skill of yours, just ask whatever you want." ”
"Thank you for your cooperation, then, tonight, Lloydbee...... I have to say, your taste is getting worse and worse. ”
"If you continue on this topic, I think I'm tired."
"Well, what time are you with Lloydsbee tonight?"
"The third song...... When he went upstairs in the third stanza, he was supposed to come down in the middle of the song, but I don't remember exactly, because after that, the singing stopped. ”
No, Zhou Duan's eyes narrowed, and the singing stopped when the body was found and the collective silence was found.
It should be when the Count initiates the blockade.
"Oh?" Fez, too, apparently noticed something was wrong, "So do you remember that there were still people in your room at the time?" ”
"How is it possible, who do you think I am?" Hughes's face turned red.
"I guess what Mr. Fez meant was there any non-human creature at the time, like ...... The demon of Baron Lloyd. ”
"No, I heard him say that it seems that in order to contract with the black lord, he himself "banished" his black knight, and now he is in a state of no demons. ”
This is interesting, Zhou Duan knows that it is difficult for people in this world to contract demons due to their physique, let alone contract demons at more than two ends.
So this particular period is the key to the death of this baron?
"No, the empire prohibits banishment, and can only be "released", this ...... Is this the curse? That legend really exists! March was suddenly strangely excited.
"Cursed? What curse? ”
Fez coughed, "It's a legend that has been passed down among the Night's Watch in the City of Hope.
The banishment of demons will attract unknown resentment, and it will also lose the protection of the Lord of Hope, and countless people in the empire have died because of it, and the death is ......"
"It's almost exactly the same as Lloyd's." doTERRA answers.
"It was too coincidental to die, and I can't explain that strange pattern." Zhou Duan naturally does not fully believe in these legends.
"That's a dead bird." doTERRA said something that surprised Zhou Duan's heart, "The true demon from the Demon Realm told me in the name of death. ”
"It looks like Mr. DoTERRA knows a lot, but we should have asked...... The question of whether there are outsiders present. ”
"My ...... You know. Miss Hughes was a little embarrassed.
Fez's face sank into thought: "If that's the case, then it's almost certain...... You must have been very involved at the time......"
"It can be second." Weekly reminders.
"Next is, waiter, you're in them...... Have you ever been to room 208? ”
"Yes, sir." The waiter replied respectfully.
"So have you heard anything?"
The waiter thought carefully before replying, "No, I received a request from a guest, but when I came to the door, no one responded. ”
"What are your needs?"
"It was Lloydbee and I who ordered it before we went up, and I thought it was him who was too ...... Too late to deliver. ”
"Obvious clues." Fez habitually touched his chin.
"Have you been here again?"
"No, sir."
"Well, then the next thing is, Sir March, congratulations, you can speak."
Sir March nodded approvingly.
"Where did you first see Baron Lloybey?"
"On the stairs." March thought for a moment, "I thought he was just drunk and wanted to go over and help him, but I saw ......"
"Did you touch the blood on him?"
"No, the wounds on his body are no longer bleeding."
"Wait, but I see he's still bleeding." Zhou Duan interrupted March.
"It can't be." March was taken aback, "I obviously ......"
"Do you remember when you arrived at the door of your room?" Fez asked the waiter.
"Probably the beginning of the fourth stanza of the third song."
"It seems likely that it really is...... And what about you, do you remember when you went to help us barons? ”
"The fourth paragraph has not long begun."
"Your Excellency, what do you mean by seeing blood flowing?"
Zhou Duan didn't speak, just looked at March.
There were only two people there, and the blood he saw was coming from under the baron's body, and since March said it wasn't the baron's, then ......
March's eyes suddenly widened, and his body suddenly collapsed on the couch as if he were deflated, his limbs twitching slightly.
Soon, under the incredulous eyes of several people, March's chest collapsed silently, revealing a wound identical to Lloybe's.
Except for Hughes, the few people present summoned their demons for the first time.
"Oh, that's interesting, it looks like our previous guesses were wrong, I think we got involved in something terrible." Fez, touching a cyan wind wolf, said jokingly.
Evil came a little nervously after it appeared, but was restrained by Zhou Duan.
Now that the outcome is unknown, he fears some unknown danger.
"Your ...... Demon? "It's the first time Siya has seen evil, and they were impressed by how strong they were before.
It's just that this can't resist the shock of her and Duo Anxin, and the spirit magicians of the Twin Demons are very rare.
Siya's demon is a white mighty snow leopard, and Do'an is a rare unicorn.
DoTERRA is a knight shrouded in black smoke, and the others may not have the talents of contract demons.
At this time, the mutation on March's body had come to an end, but unlike the baron, the flesh and blood on March's body seemed to be evacuated, and in a blink of an eye, only a skin remained.
There are also jagged bones under the skin.
