Roland nodded, quite sure of this matter: "I know a lot about the aura of demons now, as long as the demons have appeared, I can feel their breath. The aura I could feel when I was in the Duke's Palace was faint, but I was sure it was left by the demon. ”

"But even a demon doesn't mean anything, don't you forget, the demon didn't completely retreat from the city at the time of the crime, and even if a demon appeared, it wasn't impossible. Gray seemed to want to comfort Roland, but Roland's mood could not be calmed down.

Roland recalled what had happened in the city in the past few days, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

He looked up at the bell tower in the distance, and the time showed ten o'clock in the morning.

If Roland slept for two and a half days, then today should be November 28th. He remembered that in the early hours of the 25th, demons had invaded Two Moon City. Around ten o'clock in the morning, he and Sakura arrived in Castlevania Ivanger.

Then, according to Gray's description, the adult died around three o'clock in the afternoon, so Roland and Rand should have returned to Two Moon City at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

"No, there's a problem here. Roland was sure that there was no problem with his judgment: "Although I was still in Evenger City on the twenty-fifth, there was the same rift in the sky above it as in the previous Two Moon City, and the two were connected. I remember that at that time, I saw from Evener that the demons in Twin Moon City were retreating quickly, and by about half past two, there should have been no strong demons in the city. Moreover, although this lord is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he is also a high-level mage, how could those low-level demons who appeared in the city have the ability to kill him, not to mention, when the low-level demons squeezed into the room on the second floor with such a huge body. If the lower demons really invaded the study, it was impossible for everything else in the room to remain the same, so there must be something strange about this matter. ”

Roland immediately thought of a bad possibility, could it be that Tirion chased him to the City of Two Moons again? The aura of the demons in the Duke's Mansion was very faint, which was very similar to the feeling that Roland felt like a high-level demon in Evener City. Or rather, is there someone in the city who is colluding with the devil and wants to cause some trouble?

But the city is already in chaos, what kind of chaos can it cause, and what good is it to do so?

Roland suddenly thought of a bad possibility: although Rand was now in power, he had no power in his hands and no henchmen. Could it be that the remnants of the other princes want to make a last-ditch effort and create trouble for Rand and thus prevent him from succeeding to the throne?

Roland asked, "How many people have died in the two days I've been in a coma?"

Gray was stunned: "Did you say how many people died? more than twenty...... If you need a detailed list, I'll ask you to check it out. ”

Roland nodded, but his thoughts were no longer here.

Gray was very efficient, and just after tea time, he made a list of the dead nobles, and he wrote down the position and family and social relations in detail next to it.

Roland took a closer look at the list and found that there were a lot of nobles involved in this murder, and they had different backgrounds. There were chancellors of the exchequer, there were scholars, there were generals and some people in the military, and it didn't seem to have much to do with it.

Roland asked, "Do these people have any private relationships, or special relationships?"

Gray shook his head, "You say they're connected? On weekdays, they are all ministers in the court, and they always have to meet. But secretly, they more or less have their own careful thoughts, there must be parties and private interests, they are either the people of this prince, or the people of that prince, and of course there are a few people with strange personalities who are alone. ”

"Really?" Listening to Gray's words, Roland felt that the clue was a little broken again: since there was no special connection, why did they die? Roland really didn't believe it, it was just an indiscriminate attack.

In order to find out the cause of the incident, Roland plans to sneak into various crime sites to find clues.

Gray reminded, "Have you forgotten how you promised Rand just now?

Roland looked back at Gray and said calmly: "If it's just an ordinary murder case, I'm naturally relieved that Lan sent someone to investigate." But now that I've found out that this matter has something to do with the devil, I can't ignore it. We went to Castlevania this time, and a lot of things happened. It is estimated that there are few people in the entire Two Moon City who know more about demons than me now. So I'm going to get rid of this danger for Rand, and think it's the last thing I can do for him before I leave! ”

After saying these words, for some reason, Roland felt a little sour in his heart, and at the same time lowered his head: "Also, since he doesn't like me to take care of this matter, then we will just secretly track it down, and don't let him know what we are investigating in secret." ”

Gray glanced at Roland and sighed, but finally did what he wanted.

In the next few nights, Roland and Gray sneaked into the mansions one by one in the order on the list, only to find that the situation was a little different from what Roland expected.

A total of twenty-four people have been killed in the past few days, and Roland can feel that eight of them were carried out by demons, while the rest seem to have been committed by humans. Could it be that these murders were not committed by two groups of people?

According to the different modus operandi, Roland tried to carefully analyze the two groups of people who died, and the commonalities within the group. But no matter how Roland arranged and combined, he still couldn't find any obvious patterns and clues. The two groups of deceased not only had no regularity in their positions, but also had different subordinate forces.

What's even worse is that perhaps because of the long-term immersion in Evener's strong demonic environment, Roland felt that his senses gradually began to become a little numb, and he could no longer judge well where the demons had appeared.

Moreover, the smell left by the initial demon invasion of Double Moon City has not completely dissipated, which is also interfering with Roland's judgment, and sometimes Roland even feels that his room is often infested with demons, and he has become a little chaotic now.

Gradually, Roland even began to wonder if it was just a delusion that he believed that these people died at the hands of demons.

Six days have passed.

Roland still found nothing. And the news from the palace came, and it seems that the progress of the investigation in Rand is not very smooth, and there is no progress. The cleaning work in the city has almost been completed, but the temperature has dropped as soon as the north wind blows, and it seems that this time it is really going to be winter.

It was only at this time that Roland's pain began to really manifest. He felt that even if he stayed indoors, the scars that had left on his body from the past would still ache. In particular, the right hand that has been burned by the flames will become numb and unconscious as soon as the temperature drops, which is probably the so-called sequelae!

Roland smiled wryly, then looked up at the window.

White snowflakes fluttered in the air, falling silently on the ground, paving white.

The first snow of the year in Two Moon City has arrived.
