Chapter 72: Instruction (2)

A curfew was imposed throughout the imperial capital, and thanks to Meliwisz's order, there were no onlookers at the scene of the crime. Otherwise www.biquge.info the appearance of another deceased person under this curfew for no reason will definitely make the people who have just calmed down become panicked again.

The deceased was found by the Twilight guards in a back alley, which extends beyond the bustling streets. From this, Meliwiz can conclude that there must have been only one perpetrator. He ordered his soldiers to look for the witcher, and it wasn't long before Heramon hurried to the scene of the crime with the witcher in military uniform.

Heramon came in a hurry, a little sweat oozing from his forehead, and his expression was also anxious. He saluted Melwitz: "Your subordinates, see the king of the town!" and then pointed to the bald man beside him and said, "This is the witcher." ”

The witcher is tall and rugged, with pupils reflecting the texture of a green pentagram, which is the "logo" of a witcher. The round face is bald, the eyebrows are prominent and hairless, and there is an irregular scar on the right side of the face. His shoulders are broad, his arms are firm and strong, he wears protective skin armor, and his exposed skin is often scarred. Underneath is a pair of loose gray linen pants and a pair of leather ankle boots studded with studs. Behind him, he was carrying an unsheathed, broad-bladed greatsword.

Nine times out of ten, the witchers in the Demon Hunter Guild were weird-tempered guys, and the bald witcher didn't salute when he saw Meliwiz, and walked directly to the deceased, crouched down and began to examine the corpse lying on the ground.

The "rudeness" of the witchers was clearly understood by anyone, and the soldiers who were there were all surprised. Although he disliked this demon hunter in his heart, no one stood up to say a thing or two. After all, expecting this group of weirdos to obey the etiquette is a fool's dream.

The Demon Hunters can be said to be an "ancient" group, when monsters were rampant on the continent, and in order to resist the balance, many warriors joined the ranks of the evolutionary Demon Hunters. The process must be painful, the sacrifice is also huge, and finally the demon world is sealed. Ironically, the surviving witchers are considered "monsters" due to their strange physical signs and larger-than-life expectancy. Perhaps there is such "unfair" treatment, and most of them have strange tempers. In order to survive, they gathered and formed guilds to make a living by receiving bounty quests.

Melwiitz certainly didn't care about any of the red tape, and in a sense, he appreciated the witcher's casual attitude. He walked over to the corpse and asked, "Is it the monster?"

The crouched witcher first flipped the corpse back and forth, examined it carefully, and then replied to Melwiez's words: "The cause of death is caused by a broken neck bone, and the other flesh is caused after death." It's a strange method, and I can't tell which species did it, but it's safe to say that the species that committed the murder has a high IQ. ”

After listening to the witcher's explanation, Melwitz said without thinking, "According to what you said, this is not a man-made murder?"

The witcher nodded: "That's right, the bones in the neck were shattered first, and the external injuries were caused by sharp claws after death. As he spoke, he lifted the deceased's head with both hands, and the green pentagram stared at the deceased's eyes: "It is impossible for humans to have such sharp nails, and the deceased's pupils are severely constricted, obviously seeing something unclean." ”

As soon as the witcher finished his analysis, Kuzhi walked quickly to Meliwitz's side with a team of soldiers: "King Town, there is news. ”

"Tell me!"

"I privately sent someone to check the identity of the deceased, and then asked in a tavern that the deceased had been drinking heavily there before his death, and that he had been kicked out by the tavern owner because of the night ban. ”

Melwitz frowned slightly, and ordered to Heramon: "Order the corpse to be properly placed, and then order the soldiers on the night patrol not to act alone." ”

"My subordinates understand!"

"Wait. Melwiitz stopped Heramon and said, "Remember to reward this witcher." ”

Heramon nodded: "The subordinates obey." ”

After Heramon had hurried away, Kuzhi confidently pondered a rough idea in his heart, and then said to Melwicz: "I suspect that the real purpose of the murderer is to save the hearts of these young children, and the mutilation of adults should be to confuse the public. ”

"Is there any basis?"

When Kuzhi heard Melwitz's question, he told him all about his thoughts: "The dead included men, women, and children, and there was no connection between them. It is precisely because of this that it is not easy to find any valuable clues. In addition, the common characteristics of adults are alcohol consumption and fatal injuries to the neck, the heart is intact and the belongings are not lost. ”

Ku Zhi paused for a moment and then said, "On the other hand, these young children don't have hearts and don't drink alcohol. Therefore, the main purpose of the perpetrator is to save the heart of young children, and it is precisely because the adult deceased are drunk and confused that it is convenient to do so. ”

Melwitz pondered for a while before he slowly spoke: "Could it be, there are actually two murderers?"

Ku Zhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How can this be explained?"

"Before you came, the witcher's autopsy revealed that the deceased had been shattered with bones in his neck, and then his neck had been cut by a claw. But the bones in the neck of the child corpse we examined before were fine. ”

"This ......" Ku Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that his thoughts were a little confused for a while.

"The wound on the neck of an adult corpse is slightly different from that of a child corpse, so I wonder if it could be that there were two cases in the first place, borrowed by one of them to confuse us?"

"Actually, the king of the town has missed a little. The witcher, who was standing with his arms in his arms, suddenly spoke up as soon as Melwiitz finished speaking.

"What?" said Melwidz, looking at the witcher who hadn't left yet.

"Previously, the king of the town sent someone to the Demon Hunter Guild to let our demon hunters assist in investigating this case. When I went to the autopsy, I found that the amount of blood in the child's body was almost the same as that of an adult, and when I just checked the new body, I found that the adult deceased had lost a lot of blood. ”

After listening to the witcher's words, Melwidz's thoughts began to become confused. The rules and regulations of the case are not like marching and fighting, and all the clues must be sorted out well in order to discover the key point.

"Kuzhi, let's go back first, this matter needs to be discussed again. ”

"Good. Ku Zhi sighed secretly.

"Slow down, town king!" the witcher suddenly called out to Melwiitz as he was about to turn away.

Melwitz paused for a moment, then turned to look at the witcher, "What's the matter?"

"The murderers like to haunt at night, and since the king of the town issued a nocturnal order, although the number of murders and disappearances has been greatly reduced, it is not conducive to our investigation. ”

"So what?"

The witcher strode closer to Melwiitz: "I think it's better for us to disguise ourselves as civilians and pretend to be drunks to see if we can lead this thing out?"

Melwiitz pondered in his heart, and said to the witcher: "It's possible, but one person needs to pretend to be drunk and one person secretly guards." ”

"Now that the town king has agreed, I will immediately summon the witchers to carry out this mission... But how is the bounty calculated?"

"If you witchers catch it, a thousand gold bounty. ”

"Can't catch it?"

"When the matter has come to an end, a thousand gold will be rewarded. ”

"Deal!" The bald witcher stopped at the deal with Melivitz and turned and disappeared into the twilight......
