The door to Elenor's building was unlocked, but it was half-hidden at random, and Hodge and Layton pushed it in.

They saw Elenor standing in front of a cabinet, with his back to them, and hurriedly turned around when they heard the movement behind them, because the movement was too hurried, they almost didn't stand firm, and barely fell down by holding on to the counter next to them, and looked at the two of them and smiled faintly.

Hodge looked at Leiden, but he didn't expect the other party to look at him at the same time.

Both of them noticed a little bit just now, and when Elenor turned around in a hurry just now, there was a panic in her eyes.

You must know that yesterday, when she came to see the two of them from the basement where she had been held for two whole weeks, she was not panicked at all, obviously Elenor is a very calm, even calm woman, why is there a panic in her eyes when she looks at them now?

Hodge's gaze shifted to Eleno, her hand tugging at the corner of her coat somewhat unnaturally.

He gave Layton a look, and the vice-captain nodded knowingly, and approached Elenor quietly.

"Lady Elenno, we meet again. ”

"Yes, I remember you, sweet little boy. Elenor returned to her usual appearance, gave a teasing look, and said softly, "Yesterday I remember that you fled in such a hurry, and now why do you remember to see me again?"

"In the face of you, ma'am, I think it is difficult for a man to resist, and the best choice I can make at that time is to leave in time, although it is rude, please don't be surprised. ”

"Hehe, funny little boy. Elenor covered her mouth with her slender hand and smiled, "Has anyone ever told you that you have a personality like yours that is very pleasing to girls?" ”

Hodge shook his head unmoved: "Ma'am, I came to see you this time to ask if there is any other news about Your Excellency Eugene." ”

"I told you all yesterday. ”

"So—shouldn't we be told?" Hodge's eyes narrowed slightly.

Elenor's voice paused, and she said slowly, "Little boy, curiosity is not a good habit, this kind of thing can be harmful. ”

"But curiosity can also help me discover things that are difficult to detect. Hodge smiled, "Like, what the hell are you hiding behind you?" ”

Eleno's face stiffened, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to her waist behind her, but at this moment, Leiton, who had been waiting silently for a long time, quickly stuck to it, and grabbed her wrist with one hand, with Leiden's strength, Elenor had no ability to resist at all, while the other hand reached to her waist, where something abnormal was bulging.

After struggling several times to no avail, Elenor resigned herself to her fate, and when Layton had taken the thing from her waist, she collapsed on the ground as if she had lost her strength.

"A dagger. In addition to the dagger, he also found a small bottle from the bag, in which a viscous brownish-red liquid flowed, and under the light, he could see a faint golden light shining in the liquid.

"What is this?" Layton had never seen a liquid like this, but his instincts told him that anything that could be put with a dagger must be extremely dangerous.

Hodge walked up to him, took the vial in his hand and looked at it, and said solemnly: "It's 'Starfire', this medicine is extremely corrosive, even if it is only a little stained, the venom will flow down the skin to the blood vessels, causing the body to produce abnormal high temperatures, and finally people will die because the blood vessels and organs are burned and ruptured by the high temperature." ”

He looked at Elenor, who was sitting on the ground with a slumped face, and said, "Lady Eleno, should you give us an explanation, such a high-level poison is not something that a slave should have. ”

......

Layton picks up Elenor out of the Taura Chamber of Commerce and calls two guys who are on patrol and asks them to take Elenor back to the outpost's cell and hold her.

"It's been clear. He said to Hodge beside him in a serious tone, "You should have the Guards surround the Defoe Chamber of Commerce at once, and then arrest Carter." ”

Eleno, seeing hopelessness, quickly admits everything.

Carter was indeed the one behind the whole affair, and after the three were dead, the only person who knew what secrets he wanted to hide was Galder.

Originally, according to his idea, Galder should have been killed a week after Virginia's death, but the sudden appearance of Hodge, who suddenly intervened in the investigation and quickly achieved results, forced him to speed up his plan.

He gave Elennor a dagger and the "Starfire" venom and told her to kill Gourd between the beds, promising her that someone would take her away when she succeeded, keep her safe, and free her from slavery, give her a certain amount of money, and then let her leave freely.

This was already the greatest temptation for slaves.

Unfortunately, he apparently didn't know enough about Gauld's old friend, and Elennor didn't make it to Gauld's bed, and was ruined by Hodchleton, who arrived in a hurry.

Fate always likes to play a joke.

"Murdered three businessmen and attempted to murder the head of the most important Toura Chamber of Commerce in Blackstone. Layton clenched his fists, "Even Carter can't escape sanctions." ”

Hodge kept his head down, never speaking.

"What's wrong with you, don't worry, you've solved this matter, and I'll tell you the truth, and the knights won't take advantage of anyone, even if I don't want you to take the witch as a townsfolk in Blackstone. ”

"Not true. Hodge said, "It's not that simple. ”

"What?" Layton didn't quite understand.

"The process from the time Elennor was transferred to our arrival at Taura was a little too smooth, as if it was specially arranged by people, and a man like Carter, if he really wanted Galder's life, his layout should not be so simple, I always felt that such a plan was too rough. ”

Layton waved his hand: "You're thinking too much." ”

Hodge continued to think, and there was one more thing he didn't tell Layton, just now in Elenor's house, he always felt that someone other than them was staring at him, which made his back unconsciously goosebumps, it was just a feeling, and it was not a basis for judgment, so he didn't say it.

However, he trusts his instincts.

There must have been something that he had inadvertently overlooked......

I can't think of it, I can't figure it out.

Without a flash of inspiration, he could only think about the question painfully now.

Perhaps, with a bit of luck.

"Lucky verdict. ”

He crept into decision mode and rolled the little dice.

"Lucky: 65/64 (Success)"

"Please take another inspiration test"

Is it information that can only be obtained by double judgment?

Hodge looked at the lucky judgment number a little thrilling, fortunately, there is such a thing as dice, the probability between the two is independent of each other, and the success rate of 50% is not so much memorized at a critical time, right?

"Inspiration: 50/1 (Big Success)"

"Obtaining Critical Information: Absolute Symmetry OCD, Whether It's an Object or a Person"

Symmetrical OCD? This should refer to Virginia.

Wait, whether it's a thing or a person?

A bewildered lock is unlocked, and countless related locks are broken naturally.

Hodge's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said to Layton: "I'm going to the Fran Chamber of Commerce to confirm one thing now." ”

Layton was frightened by his face: "Then I'll accompany you." ”

"No, I have something else for you to do. ”

"Remember yesterday, the street corner where I was attacked, I need you ......"
