Chapter Seventy-Four: Judgment

The scale of the banquet at the Earl's Court was no smaller than that of other banquets attended by Egret and others. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBut anyone who is well-known and has enough status, Duolu has been invited. Forced by Count Dolu's usual "obscenity", these people are not bad at all.

The whole banquet was very luxurious. When it was punctual time, Duolu walked up to the banquet table and tapped the wine glass in his hand with the soup spoon in his hand. The crisp sound of the wine glass quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Duo Lu cleared his throat and spoke, "I have gathered you here today because I have some friends from afar. They didn't stay long, and in order to make them feel the charm of my Duolu territory, even if it was a little urgent, I invited everyone to come. Here, I would like to thank all of you for your hard work and support. ”

"Now, let me introduce you to you. The first is the A-class explorer Night Cat from the Banco Empire, she is my older sister when I was younger, she taught me to fight, protect me from my growth, and is both my life mentor and my relative. Through this opportunity, I will introduce you to the territory, and when Sister Night Owl comes to the territory in the future, you should treat her like me!" said Duolu, pointing at Night Cat.

"This uncle is Locke from Free City. He is the companion of Sister Night Owl, who is also an A-level explorer, and this time he went to explore the ruins with Sister Night Owl. By the way, Uncle Locke is a good drinker, and you must make him feel the enthusiasm of our territory. ”

The words made the guests below lively, and they coaxed to toast Locke. This formation couldn't scare Locke, who was "tested by alcohol", and laughed and responded.

However, Duolu did not continue to introduce, the main reason was the result of the earlier discussion with the egret.

Ilian's identity is sensitive and inappropriate to appear in public. Dhoni and Jayne are still refining their specific exploration plan after going to the Isle of Blood. As for the egret, she is dressed as a servant of the Earl's Court, waiting for Nina to dress up and take her to the banquet hall.

It's been a while since the banquet began, and Egret is standing outside the door of Nina's room with some anxiety. This Nizi has been dressed up with the help of a special designer at the Earl's Court since the banquet even began, and it has been almost two hours, but she has not yet come out.

Egret himself is not 100% sure about this bait operation, although he has a certain idea, but whether it is the same as he thinks remains to be confirmed. What's more, the murderer has not been identified, and even if he really came to the banquet, he doesn't know who it is. So the sooner Nina shows up and the longer she is present, the more likely she is to be noticed.

Just as he was about to knock, the door to the room opened automatically.

The egret's eyes lit up, and then he froze completely. This should be the most peculiar situation in his life, and the egret finds that he can't take his eyes off Nina at all. His body also became light and fluttery, and he couldn't move his body at all.

What a beauty it is. Egret searched his mind for adjectives from both worlds, unable to express them, and for the first time in his life, he felt that his vocabulary was so poor. It's not that he hasn't seen Nina's evening dress, but he is calmed by the well-dressed Nina.

"What are you doing in a daze!" Nina's bare hand waved in front of the egret's eyes, and it was a little strange to see that the egret did not react.

The egret was shaken all over his body before he reacted. His face flushed and replied, "It's nothing." It's time for us to go to the ballroom. The egret despised herself fiercely in her heart, and it was not the first time she had seen Nina's evening dress, and she would be so out of shape.

Speaking of which, this pale blue dress dress with a precious magic crystal necklace is really a beautiful foil. Of course, the magic crystal on the magic crystal necklace is the spoils of the egret's battle in the Scholar's Tower. However, as soon as this thing was taken out to Nina, it was taken as a gift by Nina and happily made into a necklace. As for whether the egret wants to use this thing to pay off his debts, well, he never had a chance to explain.

"What should I pay attention to at the banquet?" Nina asked silently, walking behind the egret.

Egret explained while leading the way: "Judging from the dossier, this murderer is a guy who travels around and has a certain identity. Then local aristocrats and celebrities at the banquet can be excluded. It should be noted that the main thing is that this time has been staying in the territory of Duolu, and the guy who has come from out of town and often participates in banquet activities. ”

"Regularly attending banquets?" Nina didn't understand where this condition came from.

"It's simple. Past victims were extroverted socialites who often attended banquets. The time to leave is also early and late to return. I suspect that the killer was most likely identified at the banquet. Because this can explain why these girls did not have obvious struggles when they were killed, indicating that it is very likely that they knew the murderer. At the same time, the murderer knows the other party's itinerary and the time of departure. Then the most likely scenario is that the members of the banquet are together. "Based on this, we can deduce the characteristics of several murderers, outsiders, who often attend banquets, and are likely to hate beautiful women." ”

The egret doesn't know if this condition can be counted, but usually psychopathic murderers who are emotionally hurt have their own specific goals. For example, if it was a blonde, long-legged beauty who dumped him, he might have killed this type of person all the time.

But this midnight murderer is different, his target is really not fixed, the women who were killed have different shapes and appearances, and there are certain rules in their dress. For example, the first three victims were all dressed in white evening dresses. So if what Duolu said is right, if this guy still wants to commit crimes in the territory, it is very likely that he will choose a beautiful woman wearing a light blue evening dress like the first victim in the territory of Duolu.

The rest of the information is impossible to judge, and the egret thinks that the murderer will tie up after killing the woman, and there must be some meaning. But I can't tell yet.

Egret led the way as he explained, led Nina to the door of the banquet hall, and attached a monitor to Nina. Nina glanced at the egret in confusion. "To be on the safe side, to be on the safe side. The egret nodded and said.

This thing was made by Fiona, and the egret took a few of them, and as long as they were too far away, more than 1,000 meters, this thing could clearly transmit the sound to their headphones.

As soon as she pushed open the door, Nina walked inside.

Gradually, some guests looked at the door, and they were all stunned. It was as if some special force had made time stand still, and the guests were fascinated by Nina and stood still.

"Such a beautiful girl. It's like a fairy in a dream!" someone whispered. Many people nodded mechanically, agreeing with this description.

Nina has received the highest etiquette education, and her movements and manners are impeccable. It was as if the noblest queen had arrived, standing like a phoenix in the guests.

"It looks like it's working well. The egret began to observe on the side, keeping his eyes on the surrounding crowd and carefully observing their expressions and movements. At this time, Duke Dolu also greeted him, but faintly welcomed Nina's arrival. Then he stood beside the egret.

Nina's appearance really attracted everyone's attention, and some guys who thought they were noble like flies came over, and diligently introduced Nina to the environment and characters.

The egret quickly noticed a few guys who were not behaving differently, and asked Dolu, "Who is that guy wearing the black and gold noble clothes?"

"That's a local, Sir Frey. Doro replied, "This guy is a well-known playboy in the territory, do you need me to come forward and warn him?"

Dolu knew that Nina and Egret were noble, and this time they were bait for their own territory, but they didn't want Nina to be disturbed by useless guys.

"No need. The egret shook his head, "Passing so early will only startle the snake." Nina is also a nobleman no matter how she says it, and I believe that she can handle it well. ”

The egret is not blind trust, Nina is very beautiful in dressing, but her iceberg-like communicative personality has not changed. Like a playboy who usually comes to talk to him, Nina doesn't have a good face. Sure enough, before Sir Frey could say a word, Nina glanced at him impatiently, probably because the momentum in his eyes was too strong, which directly made the sir's face turn white, and his mouth said two words intermittently. I also seemed to be aware of my own gaffe, and I was helplessly defeated.

"What's the big deal!" a coquettish sentence fell on the egret's ears, and couldn't help but attract the egret's attention.

It was a richly dressed girl who spoke, and her voice was very charming. With a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction on his face, although his voice was small, he could hear it clearly with the ear power of the egret.

"This is Doris, a socialite from Kazan, who always doesn't look easy to get along with. Count Dolu said, and when he saw the egret's eyes follow, he promptly introduced him. "This is also a girl, I'm afraid it doesn't match the goal. ”

"It's too early to say that. Egret disagreed, "I didn't identify the killer as a man. Sometimes jealousy is powerful enough to make people lose their minds. ”

Count Dolu was stunned for a moment, "You mean, the murderer who did all the evil could still be a woman. ”

"I said, it's not easy to say right now. The egret said solemnly.

Doris is also beautiful and is clearly the focus before the party. But because of Nina's arrival, it seems to be overshadowed. This obviously made the girl suffering from princess disease unable to accept it, and said a few words unrelentingly. The small circle around her had a few kind words for her, but it was of little use. The jealousy and dissatisfaction in the girl's eyes only deepened.

"It seems that the first suspect has appeared. The egret thought silently in his heart.
