The old kerosene lamps shimmered, and the morgue was dim and oppressive, and at the same time filled with a strong fishy stench. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Meliwitz and Kuzhi began to examine the corpse by the faint light......

After Ku Zhi checked several corpses in a row, he suddenly called out to Melwiz: "Big brother, come and see." ”

"What did you find?" Melwidz left one of the bodies he was examining and walked over to Kuzhi. The corpse of a boy came into view, and the body was observed to be about six or seven years old. The body was white and stained, and the boy had a decomposing wound on his neck.

Ku Zhi first pointed to the conspicuous wound on the boy's neck: "Look, this place is no different from the wounds of other corpses. Then he pointed to the position of the boy's chest: "But there is a missing heart here, and I just checked that the other adult corpses still have hearts." ”

Melwitz didn't speak for a moment, and after a little scrutiny, he reflexively examined several more corpses. It was found that all children had two wounds and missing their hearts, while adults had nothing unusual except for a fatal wound on the neck.

Strange to himself, he examined the corpses in the morgue in order. He found that one of the young man's corpses also had two wounds, the difference being that the second wound on the corpse had three claw marks on the lower part of the left shoulder, and the nails of both fingers clearly showed signs of fighting.

"This body had fought with the murderer before he died, and the wound under his left shoulder was inflicted on the same person as his neck, and that is, he had multiple bruises on his body. ”

Ku Zhi nodded: "There is some difference between the wounds between a child's chest and neck and an adult corpse. He pondered for himself: "This heart seems to have been removed by someone in some special way, but the heart of an adult has been preserved, what is this murderer thinking?"

"Want to cover it!?"

Melwiitz and Kuzhi pondered for a long time, and suddenly spoke in unison. The two looked at each other again, and Melwiitz said, "Let's go out first." ”

"Good!"

Melwitz and Kuzhi hurried out of the morgue, and the guards saluted Melwiez, thinking that the two adults were leaving, but Melwitz opened his mouth to ask.

"Where were the bodies found inside?"

The guard saluted again, and his voice was hoarse: "My lord, the little one is only in charge of the guard, where will you know this." ”

Melwiitz did not give up and asked again, "Did they go to a brothel or tavern before they died?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "The little ones have heard of it occasionally, and most of them have been to those places." ”

"It's none of your business. Melwitz pulled a small bag of gold coins from his waist and threw it to the guard.

The guard took the reward from Melwitz and involuntarily checked it, and the wrinkles on his face became even more. He saluted again and again towards the backs of Meliwitz and Kuzhi, who had already turned around: "Thank you, thank you!"

On the way back, Kuzhi opened his mouth and said to Melwiez: "If the eldest brother is really a monster, it may be a fog demon or a blood demon. ”

Melwiitz thought for a moment before saying, "According to what you said, their IQ is not low and they prefer to hunt young children. Although they are hidden and cannot be caught by ordinary people, they cannot fly. ”

"Big brother is right. ”

"You and I will go back to the palace first, and we still have to find a demon hunter for this matter. ”

Kuzhi replied, "It's fine." ”

However, this incident planted a deep worry in Melwiez's heart, because the prominence of the monster only proved that the seal of the demon world had begun to loosen......

――――

After Melwitz returned to the palace, he ordered someone to go to the Imperial Capital Demon Hunter Guild with a bounty, intending to let the Demon Hunter Guild send a demon hunter to follow up on the matter.

Due to the recent unrest in the imperial capital, and frequent disappearances or deaths, Meliwitz ordered Heramont to impose a nocturnal order. Except for the soldiers and witchers on night watch, the rest of the people were not allowed to wander the streets at night.

For three days in a row, there were really no more fatal cases and missing people in the imperial capital. However, during these three days, neither Merliwitz nor Kuzhi nor the witcher had made the slightest gain or progress. That said, at least Melwiitz temporarily reassured the people and didn't give Arena a chance to tell the truth.

The time had passed to the evening of February 25, and Melwitz and Kuzhi were on patrol as usual. The city is often patrolled by soldiers who keep vigil, and occasionally encounter witchers in leather armor on the streets. Melwitz openly imposed a nocturnal order, arranged for witchers, and ordered Heramon to add a large number of soldiers. Secretly, he hid in the corners and alleys to form a surveillance network, but the slightest hint of wind and grass can ensure that Melwitz will get the information as soon as possible.

Melwicz and Kuzhi both wore casual clothes, and walked the streets lined with taverns and restaurants as if they were walking, chatting with each other occasionally.

Ku Zhi looked at the quiet street and sighed: "Big brother, I don't think there is any need to solve the case if it goes on like this." ”

"Are you complaining?" said Melwiitz, pacing with his hands behind his back.

"Big brother, have you forgotten how Arena squeezed you during the morning of the government today?"

"Now they all have their own thoughts, and I have no choice but to use the Forbidden Night. ”

"Well, you said that we were just hanging out these days, and we didn't find any reason. Big brother, do you think we're using the wrong method?"

"Are you good at holding a weapon in your right hand or in your left hand?"

Ku Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said without knowing what to say: "Right hand, aren't ordinary people good at using their right hand?"

"Not really, it's just your habit. ”

"Habit?"

Before Kuzhi could speak, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of him and Melwiez. Ku Zhi's heart jumped suddenly, thinking that he had found something, but when he was about to make a move, he found that the man in black knelt down and saluted to Meliwicz.

"See the master! we've found a new corpse!" said Twilight Hitomi, a member of Melwitz's assassination group.

Melwitz's tiger eyes highlighted the essence: "Lead the way!"

"It's the master!"

――――

Led by Twilight Hitomi, Melwitz and Kuzhi quickly come to a brightly lit back alley filled with soldiers. When she arrived, Twilight's eyes vanished instantly.

These soldiers were all members of the Merwitz army, and when they saw him, they all knew him, and they saluted one after another.

Melwitz hastily coped and went to the corpse to examine. The deceased was a man with a slight smell of alcohol mixed in addition to blood. The wound on his neck was still dripping with blood, and his eyes were wide open, as if he had felt great fear before he died. Melwiitz touched the corpse slightly with both hands, it was not yet cold, and it looked like he had just died.

"Order the soldiers to search for suspicious people, go!" Meliwitz gave the order, and ripped the deceased's shirt open, and found that his chest was white and there were no wounds, and the same was true when he inspected other places.

"Get a Demon Hunter!" Merwitz stood up and gave an order, and said to Kuzhi, "You take a team of soldiers to inquire about the nearby restaurant. ”

"Hmm!" Ku Zhi replied, and then left the alley with a group of soldiers.
