Motia jumped, her eyes covered with her hands widened, and even a little distorted, "It's not me, it's not me, I don't know what's wrong, as soon as I wake up." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info。。。 ”

Hearing this, Baron Laugra's guards were so angry that they wanted to rush forward, but were stopped by the city guards. But he still shouted at the baron, "My lord must be her, she must have killed Baron Laugra! This slut has been pestering our master to marry her, but she has been rejected by her master many times, she must have a grudge!" The guards were still scolding and insulting the nobles, and if it was found out that the murderer was not Motia, they would definitely not end well. It seems that these two guards are really out of the way.

Everyone's eyes turned to Motia again, but Motia just kept crying, still muttering "No, no, I didn't kill anyone, I don't know anything... ”

"So, who else has been here besides you?" continued Baron Arando.

Motia shook her head, just sobbing and not speaking.

The baron had a headache, the door was properly locked, the latches on the windows were firmly attached, and even the curtains were drawn, and all the evidence pointed to Motia, but she did not admit that she was dead... Even if it was really her, as long as she didn't admit it, Armando would not be able to explain it to the other nobles. Except, of course, irrefutable evidence.

He waved his hand and instructed his subordinates, "Go, find a forensic doctor, conduct an autopsy, oh, and, the pastries on the table, and the wine in the cup are also tested for poison." Although he knew that these eighty percent were useless, there was no way, the other party was a nobleman, so what should be done, or what could be done, should be done first, so as not to be dishonest.

Just as he was giving the order, the innkeeper ran up with a large bunch of keys and hurriedly said, "My lord, I haven't lost the keys here." ”

Armando turned his head and asked, "Did you find the other key?"

"Found it, sir. It was a soldier who replied, "It was placed on the bedside table, and it was very conspicuous." ”

Then, he asked his boss again, "What about the murder weapon?"

Boss Green's face flushed, "of... Indeed ... It is the tableware of the store. ”

"That is to say, alas... Armandor glanced at Motia and sighed, but it looked like he had to keep going.

"What about the people who just fought?" he glanced around, "aren't there two more bounty hunters, I have something to ask." ”

"Here, my lord. Fatis and the old knight stepped forward.

At first glance, Armando only felt a little familiar, and after a closer look, he immediately frowned, "Fatis, have you completely abandoned the honor of knighthood?" Everyone turned their eyes to Fatis, in the knightly "holy city" of Suno, this knight with a bloody hand is not a household name. Fortunately, most of the people living here are merchants and mercenaries, so most of them have curiosity in their eyes, not hatred and contempt. However, this Baron Armando is also a knight, but he is not in the same unit as Fatis. Although the ups and downs of the sea over the years have made him a little more sleek, the knight's imprint is still deep in his bones.

Hearing a familiar name, Motia, who was still sobbing, suddenly stopped crying, raised her head as if she had caught some life-saving dish, and was about to get up, but was stopped by the soldiers. But she didn't give up, and shouted at the bounty hunter in a sharp voice, "Fatis, it's me, it's me, Motia, you know, I can't kill, tell them I can't kill." ”

Fatis glanced this way, and the coolness in his eyes made Motia shrink for a moment. However, this coolness quickly turned into a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I'm not a knight anymore, and I can't testify for you." ”

Motia shook her head for a moment, and then tears welled up again, only this time mixed with more remorse.

However, this wry smile seemed to make Armando grasp something, and suddenly asked, "Fatis, what were you doing last night?"

"Drinking, my lord, with my brothers. He paused, "But for a while the boss who sent us drunk back to his room to rest, and of course soon I went back to drinking." ”

"Send the boss back to his room?" the baron sneered, "aren't you going to kill people?" ”

Saying this, Fatis clenched his fists again, but did not speak, the baron was telling the truth, and he did not know how to defend himself.

"I can attest that he couldn't kill during that time. The bounty hunter beside Fatis finally spoke, and as soon as he did, he was a sensation.

The baron was talking about it, and he was naturally very upset when he was interrupted, and said angrily, "I haven't asked you yet, you are... Halfway through speaking, he was dumbfounded, and after a closer look, this Knight of Mayer, whom he also knew and had been away from the army for a long time. This old knight has a high prestige in the circle of knights, not to mention in that group of cavalry. It can be said that half of Suno's knights were taken care of by him on the battlefield, and when he retired, he resigned from the title of baron in the name that he could no longer contribute to the kingdom, and lived a poor life alone. How could such a noble man ...

"Senior Meier, if you are in trouble, we don't mind helping you, but... But how can you be a bounty hunter!" Armando's voice was incredulous, with a hint of anger and disappointment.

Knight Meyer also froze, touched the cotton armor on his body, and laughed, "Misunderstanding, Armando rides... Baron, this is a misunderstanding. We were invited to escort a decent merchant to do business in Parabun, and you know, when we were discharged from the army, the armor was returned to the lord, so we had to go into battle in tatters. Later, we ran into a team of bounty hunters who saw the money, and we 'borrowed' their equipment for use. ”

Hearing this, Armando breathed a sigh of relief, but the old knight's next sentence made him almost jump again.

"However, the next time we meet, I'm afraid I'll be a mercenary. ”

"Why!"

"Hehe, Amando, don't get excited, that's the case, the mercenary world is too chaotic now, so a few old brothers and I plan to go and see if we can save it. ”

Then he told Amandor what Mu had told them.

After hearing this, the baron also nodded secretly, yes, although this plan is a bit idealistic and seems to be particularly bold, if it succeeds, it will be of great benefit to both the kingdom and the veterans.

"I wish you success in your plan," said Armando sincerely, "and if this mercenary group is as you just said, I will do my best to convince the Cabinet to fully support it." ”

"Then I'll borrow your good words. Knight Meyer smiled.

So let's get back to business. Armando cleared his throat, "Then why do you say he can't kill?"

The old knight cleared his throat and said, "If the murderer is not Lady Motia, this is complicated. Not to mention how to unlock and enter, and even if they could get in, how could they unconsciously subdue both of them? The process had to be quick, and it could be seen that the sheets and bedding were rather messy, and they must have been left behind by Baron Laugra when he was struggling. Therefore, we can infer that the murderer should have taken advantage of Lady Motia's unpreparedness to knock her unconscious, and then stabbed Baron Laugra to death, and finally... Wrong. ”

The more the old knight reasoned, the more fascinated he became, and even took Motia's hand and examined it carefully. At this time, if Motia was not wrapped in a blanket, it could be said that she was naked. was held by the old knight on his right wrist, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was still firmly clamped by the old knight.

"Look at her hands!" the old knight showed the back of her hand to Baron Arando. The baron leaned in, and although the blood had been wiped dry and washed with tears, the shape of the blood could be roughly seen in the folds of the skin.

"Look at this paragraph more neatly, it means that it is soaked in blood, and above... He gestured with his free hand, "The blood stains are very irregular in shape, obviously splattered. So, if it wasn't Miss Motia who stabbed it herself, it was the killer who held Miss Motia's wrist and stabbed it. ”

The old knight let go of Motia's hand, "First of all, to stun a person silently, then to pick up the dining knife at the other end of the room, and while taking the dining knife, to suppress the baron, who may get up and fight at any moment, and then to shove the knife into Miss Motia's hand in resistance, and then to accurately stab a struggling man in the eye socket." Don't talk about Fatis, according to my understanding of knights' martial arts, no one can do it. Of course, killer assassins are a different story. ”

"Then why can't you knock Baron Laugra unconscious first?" asked Armando. "Well, I don't need to explain this. "The victim had no visible scars on his head, and there was only one possibility to stun him in this situation, and that was to get a blow to the back of the neck." If the killer wasn't Ms. Motia, she probably fainted because of it. And yet the Baron ... He was lying down at the time of death, and there was no sign that the body had been moved. ”

Knight Meyer nodded, "Exactly. ”

It was clear to everyone that the old knight had explained why Fatis could not have committed a crime, which almost showed that the murderer could not have been anyone else except Motia.

Then the facts of the case will be clear. You're the murderer, Lady Motia, do you still deny it?" exclaimed Baron Arando.

"No, no, it's not me!" Motia cried out hoarsely, "I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone!"

Fatis was a little unbearable and lowered his head silently.

The last glimmer of hope in Motia's eyes vanished, and she could only sobb silently, allowing the city guards to pull her away.

Suddenly, a dog barked from the first floor of the inn, followed by a scream.

"Go and see what's wrong?" Armandor ordered a soldier as he summoned him.

The soldier should have been, then turned and went downstairs. But before he could take a few steps, another soldier hurriedly ran up, "My lord, something happened when I tested the poison just now." ”

"What's wrong?" asked the baron, frowning.

"I have tested the wine that Ms. Motia has drunk with a silver needle, and there is no response. But as soon as we sprinkled it in the dog's food bowl, the dog went berserk and bit two brothers before we hacked them to death. ”

"What?" Armando felt a little incredulous, and Motia seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and shrieked like crazy, "Hahahaha, I know, I know! Laugra, your heart is so poisonous!hahahaha!"

The baron waved his hand impatiently and said, "Say, what's the matter?"

"Hahaha, Laugra treasured a bottle of poison, and hid it in the pocket of his coat!" Motia hurriedly told him, "That kind of medicine can make people irritable and want to kill people, and it was because of this medicine that Fatis killed his brother back then!"

"What! you slut!" Fatis was furious and tried to rush forward, but was held back by Meyer.

"Really? How do you know? ”

"He was showing off to me in bed last night, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect that... With that, Motia began to weep again.

"My lord, I found it. Soon, the soldier pulled out a small crystal bottle from Baron Laugra's coat.

"That's right, that's it!" Motia looked up suddenly, her pretty face distorted by hatred.

After testing the poison, Baron Armando reasoned that Laugra drugged Motia in order to prevent her from pestering her. But he underestimated the power of the medicine, and as a result, he suffered and lost his life. At this point, Motia confessed to killing Laugra, saying that due to the side effects of the drug, the process of the murder could not be remembered. But even so, the notoriety of the killer will accompany her doctor. As for whether he will find someone to marry hastily in the future, or die alone, we don't know. However, because of this murder, the Gülenchu family completely broke with the lord's faction and was forced to join the camp of the imperial faction. In the Attuya family, although it is undeniable that Fatis killed his brother, under Motia's confession, Fatis is much less condemned, and if the opportunity is right, it is not impossible to become the heir again.

On the horse, Fatis told Mu about the murder that shook Sunno City, and its aftermath. At this time, Fatis seemed to be in a very good mood, lost a big burden, and reconciled with his family, which was undoubtedly great news for him. However, he still kept his promise and followed Mu out to break through.

As for recruiting new people, as soon as they heard that the two knights were preparing to form a noble mercenary group, almost all the veterans who stayed in Suno came. And the old knights only selected fifty people after a thousand choices, and they had just finished distributing the captured equipment and horses.

As for Mu, he yawned boredly and looked sleepy. The robe on his body didn't know where it had gone, but it seemed that the cold wind of early winter could not remove his sleepiness.

While the others weren't paying attention, Fatis quietly asked, "Did you do it?"

"How could it be. Mu yawned and replied. Let's go back to that night, and say that Muzhi opened the fatis, and prepared to offer some sacrifices to his own dinars who had been pitted.

He took out the long-cherished powder from the pocket of his cloak, lit it on the candle flame, and slipped it through the crack in the door. In other words, the drugs used by bounty hunters to kill people and oversell goods are certainly not rubbish. The powder can be smoked or taken orally. The person who is recruited will sleep like a dead pig for four or five hours. The most important thing is that the smoke is very light and light after being lit, and most importantly, it is colorless and odorless, and it is not easy to detect. After stuffing the medicinal powder in, Mu covered his mouth and nose with a cloak, leaned on the door panel and listened again, the sound of hey inside gradually became lazy, became weak and inaudible, and finally disappeared. Mu waited for a while longer, and only after confirming that the people inside had slept to death did he stand up.
