Chapter 201: The Unspeakable

Roland's heart was speechless in surprise.

Archimedes stood respectfully and smiled with his head bowed, as if he had never known Roland.

Roland looked at Rand in surprise, but Rand didn't seem to notice Roland, but cordially introduced to everyone present, saying that Archimedes was going to temporarily take the post of Minister of Economy.

At this time, Roland reacted, no matter what the facts under the table were, what the court showed to others on the surface could only be carried out within the scope of people's acceptance. Judging from the current form of Two Moon City, only Archimedes is really suitable for this position.

Although it felt a little strange, Roland still took advantage of Archimedes' briefing on the current situation in the city to call Rand and ask about the current progress of the murder case.

Rand looked at Roland without speaking, but the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

Roland asked, "What's wrong?"

Rand said, "Roland, this matter ......"

Roland looked at Rand and knew he had something unspeakable. Rand grabbed Roland and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that you also know that the situation in the city is very chaotic now, and rumors are rife, and your situation in Double Moon City is ...... Sensitivity to comparison. Moreover, the riot caused by the demon has just subsided, and so many people have died in the city, and now everyone's emotions are more excited. If you are involved in these cases again, I am afraid that it will have a negative impact on you. So you don't care about this matter for the time being, I will send someone to investigate. ”

Rand was right, and he was very reasonable.

Roland also knew that if he got involved at this time, not only would he not be happy to find it, but it would also cause trouble for Rand, so he promised Rand that he would not care about these things anymore.

Rand showed a relieved expression, and then whispered to Roland with a slight apology: "You also know that the current Moon Country is not the same as before. The mansion at 11 Duchy Road is badly damaged, and you and Gray are staying in the building I arranged in the city for the time being. When the repaired fortifications in the city are almost completed, I will find you a better place to live, and you can just take care of your injuries. But then...... I'm afraid we won't have many opportunities to meet......"

The king lived in the royal palace, which was a matter of course, and Rand had no reason to feel guilty. And in half a month, Roland will also leave Double Moon City, and the house that Rand prepared for him, Roland is afraid that he will not have a chance to live. It's just that Roland didn't tell Rand about his intention to leave.

Strange to say, Roland felt that Lante's tone of voice to him was a little subtle, and it seemed to be too gentle, which made Roland feel a little uncomfortable.

So Roland said, "Okay, I'll go back first." You still have injuries on your body, so don't be too tired. Rand nodded.

After that, Roland left the mansion of the Minister of Economics, Doru, and decided to free himself from all this mess.

Since Rand has been promised not to interfere in this matter, then Roland will certainly not get involved again.

On the carriage back, for some reason, Roland's mind suddenly had a stir: Wait, there seems to be something wrong on the road!

Then he told the groom to stop the carriage and began to look around his surroundings.

Then Roland felt that the aura exuded from the surrounding environment seemed a little strange.

"What's wrong?" asked Gray.

Roland replied with a serious expression: "I think there is something strange around here, as if there is a different aura surrounding it, and I don't know what's going on." ”

"No, the mansion next to this road has just died two days ago, and you have a strange atmosphere, is this what you mean?"

Roland was stunned: "The day I came back, did there also happen to be a murder here?"

Gray thought for a moment, then said with certainty, "Yes, it did. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Roland immediately jumped out of the carriage, and then turned around and climbed over the wall into the mansion where the murder occurred!

Since the city was still in a state of panic, the bodies of the deceased were still in the house.

Roland sneaked in quietly, and then quickly came to the room where the corpse was placed, and carefully checked the condition of the corpse. As the distance narrowed, Roland could feel a familiar and strange aura enveloping the body. That kind of breath is very faint, but Roland does feel its presence!

Roland was immediately shocked into a cold sweat!

Gray finally lurked in at this time, and he noticed that Roland's expression was strange, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Roland glanced sideways at Gray, but didn't speak.

He suddenly opened the door to the large room and walked directly into the hall of the mansion. Roland grabbed a passing servant and asked with some excitement, "Were you in the mansion when the duke died?"

The servant was somewhat bewildered by Roland's actions. But he looked at Roland's clothes, and thought that Roland was the young master of some relative's family who came to the mansion, so he nodded.

"Can you tell me what happened at the time?

"That day, I was taking refuge in the warehouse with the others, and when I saw that the demons outside were almost cleared, there was a sudden explosion in the backyard. The tremor of the explosion was so strong that I think anyone in the vicinity could feel it. But at that time, we all thought it was just a normal attack, so we didn't pay much attention to it. The explosion lasted about half a minute. After another two or three minutes, we realized that something had happened in the house. When we arrived in the duke's room, we found him lying on the ground covered in blood, and he had died. After that, we checked the scene a little and found that the windows of the room were wide open, the back door was also in a state of concealment, and the back street was also a chaotic scene. So it's not easy to find out who did this. ”

"Did you notice anything strange?"

"This ......," the servant thought hard for a moment, and then said with some hesitation, "It doesn't seem like it?"

Since Roland's actions just now were a little big, many other people in the mansion also noticed the existence of him and Gray, but they all thought that the two of them were the young masters of the relatives' family.

Roland looked at the people around him again, and from their expressions, he could tell that the other people in the mansion should have seen the same situation as the servant who was being questioned, and it seemed that they should not be able to ask for any new information.

Instead, Gray leaned in and whispered to Roland, "I remember the situation at that time! At that time, I happened to be in front of Miyagi with the defense soldiers, and I saw an explosion in this direction from a distance. But strangely, the smoke from the explosion was also too loud and permeated the neighborhood until five or six minutes later. Normally, a blast of this magnitude would not have caused such a large amount of dust. ”

"And then?" Roland asked, desperate for some useful clues from Gray.

Gray waved his hand, a little helpless: "Then you and Rand returned to Double Moon City and reappeared in front of me. Don't forget, at that time, I became the appearance of Rand. You said how terrifying it was for those defense soldiers to have two people who looked the same at the same time! So of course I slipped into a place where no one was and quickly turned back......"

I see.

Listening to Gray's words, Roland felt a little lost, because he didn't get any useful clues from Gray.

"And do you remember when that happened?" Roland asked again.

"I don't know exactly when the explosion happened, but I remember when you came back, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon. Since the clock tower happened to be chiming at that time, there shouldn't be a mistake in the time, and I think the explosion must have happened around that time, right?" Speaking of which, Gray clearly realized from Roland's reaction that something was wrong with this. So he whispered into Roland's ear, "What, what did you find?"

Roland shook his head and didn't speak, just motioned for Gray to hurry up and leave the Duke's Palace.

When Roland was sure that there was no one else around them, he told Gray what he had discovered.

Listening to Roland's words, Gray felt a little incredible. He thought for a moment before asking, "Are you sure this lord was killed by a demon?"
