Chapter Ninety-Six: Tracking

The rain had been falling intermittently for a week, and under the gray sky, the doors of all the houses in Allen's territory were closed, and the originally lively commercial streets were deserted, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street except for the soldiers on patrol.

Since the discovery of the corpse of Old Jack, a gardener, the people in Allen's territory have been terrified, and the number of corpses is still increasing, but the incident has not progressed in the slightest.

However, rumor has it that a mage from the Basilica of Santa Mary came to help, and that this powerful mage was invited by the church, which gave people a new perspective on the church that used to only suck blood.

The continuous rainy days made Omina feel very bad, because she could not appear on the street in beautiful clothes and play around.

And there has been such a big incident in the city recently, Prince Allen is worried every day, and keeps holding meetings to meet guests, and almost all the people available in the castle have been sent out to protect the citizens, and the whole castle has become empty, and there has been no one to accompany him for several days, and the nobles in the city have begun to keep a low profile in order to avoid getting on fire, and have stopped holding banquets, which makes Omina even more upset.

Omina fiddled with the roses on the table, and although they were stuck in the water, the petals inevitably began to dry and wither.

"It's time to pick some new roses. Omina muttered to herself. "I don't know if the rain will get lighter at night......"

Putting on her cloak, Omina decided to go out and buy something new that she had never seen in the castle before, and go to the tavern for a drink.

Because as long as she sat in the tavern, the men would actively surround her, and Omina enjoyed the feeling of being sought after.

In the past, when I was in the castle, I could only face one person every day, and occasionally I went down the mountain to visit, and there was nothing in the small village below the mountain, and there was not even a flower shop in the depression.

It's better to be here.

Omina pushed the door open and came out, just in time to be seen by the little maid who was cleaning, and the little maid blushed when she saw her, and greeted her shyly. She was very satisfied with the performance of the little maid, for a heartthrob, both men and women were the beings she conquered with her charm.

"Dear Miss Omina, are you going out in your cloak?oh, don't blame me for being too talkative, it's because the atmosphere in the city has been so bad lately, it's raining outside, and the murderer hasn't been found yet, it's so unsafe outside. There were no female victims yet, but who knows what the madman was thinking?" said the little maid worriedly.

"And His Royal Highness the Prince specially instructed me, if you have anything, leave it to me to do, you are His Royal Highness's most distinguished guest, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to His Royal Highness, I will not forgive myself, saying that His Royal Highness Alan has never been so concerned about any young lady, you ......"

The little maid rambling for a long time, and Omina smiled and took her hand holding the rag, staring into the little maid's eyes.

The little maid was stunned and began to stumble, "You, you are ......"

"Shh......h

Omina put her slender finger against the little maid's lips, made a boo motion, and whispered in the little maid's ear: "Dear, I am suffocated in the house, can you help me once? ”

"Hmm......" The little maid's eyes became misty, and she nodded subconsciously.

"What a good boy, we said okay, it's a secret between me and you......"

Omina left the castle, and the little maid stood there in a daze, and after a while she came to her senses, and went on with her work as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. Xiao, this is where we found our first body. The rain was still falling, and Dario was standing in the rain with an umbrella, and it was he who led Shaw to the deep alley where the body of Old Jack, the gardener, had been found.

Originally, this matter was not in Dario's hands, but no one was willing to take this hot yam, and two of the three petty officials who were originally in charge of security in the city were sick, and that mustachioed Tessie was really a coward, and Alan didn't want Tessie to take Xiao around on his behalf, he also felt ashamed, so he had to find Dario to help.

What happened in the city in the past few days happened to greatly affect the normal operation of the Chamber of Commerce, and Dario was also idle, so he agreed to Allen's request.

Xiao didn't have an umbrella, but he was wearing a gray robe, but there was no trace of him being wet by the rain.

Although Shaw said that he wanted to visit the scene of the crime, the continuous rain had already washed the streets several times, and Dario did not think that Shaw could find any useful clues at the scene. However, he was just thinking about it in his heart, and on the surface he was still very enthusiastic, and he showed great respect for the church, whether it was Xiao or Xiao.

Xiao walked into the deep alley, spun around, and then squatted down and took out a magic scroll from his arms and pressed it to the ground.

He used his rough hand to spread the scroll on the waterlogged ground, and the blue six-pointed star array actually broke away from the scroll and floated in the water, emitting a faint light. Xiao quickly injected magic into the six-pointed star array, and then grabbed a handful of silver powder out of nowhere and sprinkled it on the ground, and when the silver powder touched the water, it exploded with a bang, and when it fell to the ground, it had all turned black, as if it had been polluted by something.

Xiao dipped some black silver powder on his hand, sniffed and licked it, and with a solemn expression, he took out his wand and inserted it in the center of the six-pointed star. The spell within the six-pointed star rapidly morphed, grew, and then turned into a silverfish, swimming in one direction through the thin pool of stagnant water, then entering the mouth of the water, disappearing from Dario's sight.

Shaw walked out of the alley, his body was already wet with rain at some point, and the rain slid down his ravine-covered face, Shaw beckoned to Dario, who quickly stepped forward and raised the umbrella above his head.

"Mr. Xiao, did you just find something?" Dario asked, handing him a handkerchief.

Xiao knotted the handkerchief to wipe the rain off his face before slowly speaking: "There are some discoveries, but I still need to confirm it." If my guess is correct, I really don't know if it's lucky or unlucky......"

Shaw said a few words that Dario didn't understand, and asked Dario to take him to the next place where the body was found.

After two full days, Dario finally took Shaw to the eight locations in the city where the body was found, and every time Shaw checked a location, he would repeat those behaviors, and after Shaw released a magic scroll to summon a silverfish at the last location, he almost fainted from exhaustion, Dario hurriedly sent him back to the castle, but Shaw insisted on going to church, saying that he had not prayed for three days.
