Bao's body had been stretched on a stretcher and carried to a pavilion in the atrium, and the butler had used a communication scroll to contact Bao's wife, who lived in the suburban villa, and other family members, who were already on their way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Several of the guests who had followed Dodger out gathered around the tree where Bao had fallen, looking at the markings on the trunk.

Dodger: "The mark of the Shohe." "As long as you know that this is what the Black Robbery Society did, you don't need to think about the motive for the crime and the like, it's not an exaggeration for what they did, and the reason and the like are incomprehensible to ordinary people," there were people from the Black Robbery Society among the guests. ”

This is what worries Dodzia the most, if the murderer is a celebrity or something, forget it, but if it is a minister...... There were actually members of the Black Tribulation Society in the ruling machine of the kingdom, and Dodzia, who knew the nature of the Black Tribulation Society, frowned.

Yu Youzi circled around the fruit tree and said to Dokia: "The murderer stood next to the tree, facing Lord Bao, and then slashed forward with his sword, cutting off Lord Bao's neck...... If it is a long sword, with the power of this sword, the entire head should be cut off directly, leaving no layer of attached back neck skin. ”

"Short knives and daggers are also good for hiding inside the dress. Dodzia nodded.

Yu Youzi reasoned simply: "The murderer mixed in the crowd in the house, came to the fruit tree in advance to ambush and wait for Lord Bao, and after killing Lord Bao, he immediately turned over the building and left, attracting the pursuit of two guards...... However, the guards didn't know what he had done at the time, and the other party was of a higher rank, so the killer escaped from view, and then the murderer went around in a circle, taking advantage of the confusion caused by the maid's screams, and slipped back through the gate......"

Dodzia felt that this speculation was reasonable, although an outsider, especially a young man, came to solve the case and made him feel a little unhappy, but because of the other party's official position, and because he is now a big celebrity in the royal family, he did not show the disgust in his heart, but said: "My lord has a point, at that time, Gaoni and Jawort, who were guarding the gate of the main building and outside the banquet hall, rushed to the atrium, and it was very easy for the murderer to sneak back from the front...... But it is not ruled out that the murderer has escaped, and we will now count to see if there are fewer people. As he spoke, he arranged for the city guards to separate and ask to check if anyone was missing from the house.

After watching several city guards enter the house, Yu Youzi said: "It is very likely that the murderer still carried the murder weapon with him. ”

"I'm going to the guests now and see if I can find anything. Dodzia loudly ordered the other guards to intensify their search in the atrium, and then, just to be safe, sent the guards out to search in the direction of the murderer's escape to see if there were any lost murder weapons. He himself walked back into the banquet hall, inferred that the killer might be carrying a murder weapon such as a dagger, and then demanded a body search.

Yu Youzi returned to the banquet hall with the guests who came out, and the people had already been ordered, and no one was found, which means that the murderer may have returned to the crowd.

For the body search, some celebrities were quite uncooperative at first, they thought that the body search was an insult to their identity, but Xiu Luno snorted coldly, took off his coat, and stood in front of Dodkia to let him search, so that since someone took the lead, the other ministers had to let Dodge search ...... The celebrities looked at each other, and the ministers searched it, so they didn't say anything more, and obediently let Dodzia search him.

For the ladies present, due to the custom of not showing their waists, they were arranged in a guest room and examined by the female city guard.

No murder weapons were found.

Deng Hele walked up to Yu Youzi, who was standing under a pillar, and said, "I heard that you came up with the idea of a body search?"

Yu Youzi, who was thinking about this case, came back to his senses and said, "So to speak, after all, we suspect that the murderer is in the hall......"

Deng Hele, a standard mature royal sister, had an uneasy expression like a little girl: "Don't mind if I stay next to you." Thinking of a murderer next to her who didn't blink an eye, Dunheller felt more secure staying next to the highest-ranking person she knew.

Dodzia still has a certain ability to serve as the deputy guard of the royal capital, and he has already thought of the possibility that the murderer may be a servant, so that all the domestic servants also gathered in the banquet hall, and the scope of the search has not only expanded to the maids and servants of the Bao family, but also the entourage that came with the guests.

"My lord, she has blood on her body!" a female city guard dragged a maid's right hand in. When the maid was examined in the next room, it was found that there was a distinct circle of red marks on her cuffs, with a faint smell of blood. The female city guard lifted her red-dyed cuffs.

"No! it's not me!" retorted the maid with a frightened face.

Deng Hele ducked behind Yu Youzi, although she was a little taller than Yu Youzi.

Dodger stepped forward and stood in front of the maid: "Then tell me what happened to your cuffs and why there are blood stains...... Bao's blood sprayed all over the ground and a tree trunk, and the murderer was probably also sprayed.

"I got it in the kitchen, and I got it when I was helping to deliver raw meat. The maid hurriedly said, "The cook can testify for me!"

The servant's eyes immediately focused on the cooks, and a male cook stood up and said, "We have been invited to help from outside...... Since we didn't know where the ingredients were stored, we asked the maid to pick them up for us. Several chefs next to him nodded in the affirmative.

"Go to the kitchen and search. Dodger ordered the city guard.

"Miss. A voice sounded beside him, and it turned out that it was Rohr, who had completed the body search, and walked to this side. When he came, Yu Youzi sat in a car with Mei Zewen, and Rohr took a car with Deng Hele. There is no one in the upper echelons who goes out without an entourage.

A moment later, a knife distinctly different from the kitchenware was taken to the banquet hall by one of the city guards, it was a short sword as long as a forearm, the blade was covered with blood, and the stick figure castle mark was also engraved on the hilt. The dagger was placed on the table, and everyone gathered around.

"Your Excellency the Magician, please test it. Dodkia said loudly to the magician who had come with him.

The magician got up from his seat and walked over, and a city guard came in from outside with a bloodstained cloth towel stained with Bao's blood.

The magic spell sounded, it was a spell that Yu Youzi had never heard, it was obviously not a magic that he had learned, and a few syllables in it were very similar to the detection technique, it seemed that it should be a targeted professional magic. When the spell ended, the dagger lit up with a magical glow, and soon the cloth towel lit up with the same glow.

Seeing this, the magician asserted, "It's the same person's blood." ”

Dodger: "Where did you find it?"

The city guard who sent the short sword spoke: "In the knife basket, inside a pile of cut meat. ”

Dodkia said loudly: "Gather all the people who have been in and out of the kitchen!" The deputy guard general was full of anger, and the people who wanted to enter and exit the kitchen were obviously not celebrities, let alone minister-level high-ranking officials, which made Dodkia feel a lot more confident.

In a few moments there were eight men and women standing in front of him, all of whom had been in and out of the kitchen, except for the three maids who had served in the banquet hall. Among the three was the maid who had first found the body, who had been on the road with drinks, and now she seemed to have not recovered from her fright, and sat at a table in a daze.

Dodzia took two steps forward and began to interrogate the eight men and women personally, while Yu Youzi stared at the hilt of the dagger on the table with a strange feeling in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can go back first, and I will take these eight suspects back to the police station for interrogation. As Dodkia was about to interrogate, he glanced at the clock in the hall and saw that it was not early, so he spoke, then turned to the other direction and said, "You five guards, please come with us as witnesses." ”

The banquet hall, which was a little quiet, was a little more alive as people got up and prepared to leave.

Deng Hele touched Yu Youzi and said, "What, what are you thinking, are you going to solve this case?"

Yu Youzi continued to stare at the hilt of the sword: "Don't you think it's strange, the Si Hei Tribulation Society just made such a big incident in the morning, is it necessary to carry out further assassination right now?"

"You know the Black Tribulations? Maybe that's how they messed up. Yu Youzi looked at the sound of the voice, and it turned out that it was Luo Er, the female head of Dunhele who was following him, was talking.

"What is it?" said Dunheller, who was clearly unaware of the organization, his face full of confusion.

"It is a secret society that worships the King of the Night, claiming that death is the only truth in the world, that the visible will eventually dissipate, and that the night will be endless. ”

Dunheller: "The night is endless...... How does it sound like a solar eclipse. ”

Yu Youzi knows that the solar eclipse in Dunkhler's mouth is not an astronomical phenomenon caused by the earth, the moon, and the sun on the earth, and the "sun" of this world is an artifact that runs according to a fixed periodic orbit according to Assaberg, and the "solar eclipse" is one of the four major natural disasters, a disaster phenomenon in which the sun loses light and heat for a long time. There is no fixed time for a solar eclipse, in short, the longer the normal days of the sun, the greater the chance of a solar eclipse, and now 10,000 years have passed, which means that there have been no more solar eclipses at the beginning of this period of recorded human history. The eclipse has become a kind of legend, and only the floating continent is still studying and recording.

However, when it comes to the dark ages, it is not only the solar eclipse, but also the black wilderness.

Now is not the time to think about the relationship between the eclipse and the endless night, Yu Youzi's confusion is: "Luoer, you seem to know a lot about the Black Tribulation?" At the same time, his heart moved, as if he had caught something.

"I heard it occasionally when I followed the master. After speaking, Rohr turned to Dunheller and said, "Miss, they are a very dangerous organization, they are the dark side of history, you can also listen to these things, ordinary people will never meet them in their lives." ”

However, now that the entire city of Willymüller had met them, Yu Youzi thought so in his heart, and hurriedly said, "You and Lord Mezewen should go back first...... I have a question in mind, and there are some things to tell the deputy guard here. ”

At this time, the three young people who had just been at the same table also walked over, Gna and Gabtiss were a little shocked, Kumalo looked fine, but there was a trace of panic in his eyes, they were all Wang Du Guishao who had not experienced anything big, and Dunkhle was a little better than them, after all, she had experienced the rebel occupation of the city.

A person dressed as a liaison officer entered the banquet hall, glanced at it, and found the deputy guard general who was arranging for the city guard to put rank locks on the eight suspects: "My lord, the matter has been reported......

It turned out that after understanding the basic situation, Dodzia immediately asked the liaison officer to report the matter, because the person who was assassinated was a minister, and if a person of this level was killed, the object of the report was directly the speaker and Her Majesty the Queen. Now the liaison officer has received a reply and has come back to report.

I saw the liaison officer take out a communication scroll from his satchel and hand it to Dodger, and then said: "Her Majesty has not replied, it should be tomorrow morning...... The speaker replied to the letter, asking us to strengthen the investigation and solve the case as soon as possible. ”

Dodzia nodded: "Report to the Speaker, this case is the handiwork of the Black Robbery Society." ”

"Wait, I think there's something strange in this. Dodkia looked back, it turned out to be the current big celebrity Yu Youzi speaking, only to see him walk over quickly, and said in a calm voice, "I think someone is deliberately leading our thoughts to the Black Robbery Meeting...... The markings on the trunk and hilt of the sword mean nothing other than to indicate that it is the Black Tribulation Society......"

"My lord, isn't it meaningless to do things in the first place?"

"No, no matter how subtle they are, they all want to express a message, convey their ideas......" This is what he suddenly thought after hearing Luole's words, the seemingly meaningless actions of the Black Tribulation Society must have conveyed some kind of message of theirs, just like the airport bombing incident in the morning, the curtain they pulled out at the end clearly reflected their intentions, why they wanted to destroy.

Yu Youzi made an analogy based on his own memory and knowledge, no matter in that universe, this type of terrorist has become extreme precisely because of his thoughts, and they always act for the sake of some kind of ordinary person who seems indifferent, but in their eyes it is the goal of absolute truth - if it is the work of the Black Tribulation Society, then what message is the assassination of Bao definitely conveying...... Here, however, there is nothing but two markers.
