Chapter 208: Death
Wait a minute! Killed?
Roland grabbed him by the collar: "Tell me clearly, which one?" ”
"Yes...... Diplomat Gould ......"
Roland's heart tightened: Isn't this the first case he found out that a demon appeared at the scene of a murder?!
The little brother continued to say intermittently: "That day, the demon just retreated, and most of the big families in the city opened their doors. I saw that the back door of Gould's house was wide open and there was no one, so I ...... I had bad thoughts. But who would have thought that I would just see him die in front of me...... At that time, I was really scared stupid, and I ran out with a lot of pee, and who knew that I was seen by those gangsters. Later, as soon as the news of the diplomat's death came out, they came to the door and threatened that I had killed the diplomat and took the opportunity to extort money, so I couldn't ......do anything about it."
"If you can kill the diplomat, someone has to believe it, right?" Roland didn't care what he did, he just wanted to know how the diplomat died. So he hurriedly interrupted the little brother's words and asked, "Tell me, how did the diplomat die?" ”
"Actually, I don't know...... I just remember that at that time the diplomat was in the room on the second floor...... I could see clearly in the courtyard when suddenly a dark shadow flashed in front of my eyes...... There seems to be a fireball as well...... And then there are the dark clouds...... And then suddenly it exploded...... No, it's not...... There are two people...... And then it exploded......"
What is this?
Roland couldn't help frowning, what a mess this said. But looking at the little brother's eyes, it doesn't look like he's lying to him.
Roland asked again, "Then do you see what those two people look like?" ”
The little brother's head shook like a rattle: "No...... No, if I had seen it, would I have survived until now? ”
Although the little brother's words were scattered and had no framework, they let Roland know that there were indeed two people at the scene of the crime at that time.
Roland had long known that the diplomat had died at the hands of demons, so the two figures that the little brother saw were likely to be high-ranking demons and ...... His contractor? It's just that this kind of thing only needs to be done by the demon, so why would the contractor also appear at the scene of the crime?
However, from the younger brother's words, Roland also understood that something must have happened near the diplomat's residence at the time of the incident, which means that there must be more witnesses.
Roland felt that if he gathered all the witnesses and questioned them one by one, he might find something new.
It could be seen that Ellis seemed to be a little puzzled after knowing that Roland was very concerned about this matter, but she didn't say anything.
Roland quickly arrived at the diplomat's residence, and then quickly gathered all the people who were in the vicinity at the time, and asked each of them to write a detailed report on the situation.
That night, Roland carefully sorted through the materials he had in his hands, trying to see if he could find some useful clues.
"I was a servant in the house, and at about 2:50 p.m. that day, the demons had already dispersed, and the young master instructed me to deal with the mess in the house, so I went out through the back door to the nearby cellar to get a carpet to be replaced. As a result, I had not gone far when I saw a dark cloud drifting in the sky. At the time, I was shocked, thinking it was a demon again! Then I found out that it was okay and kept walking. When I came back, I found that something had happened in the house. It was about 3:20 when I came back. ”
"I'm a peasant woman who lives nearby. A few days ago, my son caught a lot of fish in a mountain stream outside the city, and he couldn't eat it all for a while. So I dried them and planned to sell them for some money as salted fish. As a result, something suddenly happened in the city that day, and the fish I was drying in the open space were also damaged a lot, and I was distressed...... So when the situation in the city was a little better, I hurried to the open space opposite the back door of the diplomat's mansion to collect fish. The back door of their house was open, and it was about three o'clock, when I saw a fireball suddenly hit the window on the second floor of the Duke's Palace, and then exploded. ”
"I saw people, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that! There are three of them! I saw them drift straight through the window into the diplomat's study, and then I heard the screams of the people......"
"I'm a soldier, and by about three o'clock that afternoon, I had been fighting demons for eight hours, eight hours! I couldn't take it anymore, thinking that everything was almost done, so I went to the alley behind the diplomat's mansion to take a lazy ...... No, take a break, take a break. As a result, I saw a thunderstorm in the sky, and suddenly a dark cloud appeared, and then two figures jumped to the second floor at once, and they were moving so fast, I thought it was my own illusion at first......"
"I just went all the way, that day I hid in the cellar of someone else's house for a long time, and finally came out and wanted to rush home, so I took the path and left, which is the one opposite the back door of their house. At that time, I didn't hear any sound, but I saw a fireball suddenly appear in the sky, and it went straight through the window on the second floor of his house and entered. I saw a dark cloud floating in the sky, and then a figure flashed, it seemed like two, right? Then it exploded, and I was so frightened that I fell to the ground. When I got up, I found that someone in the house was shouting 'Death'. ”
"Wang ...... Wangwang...... Woo ......"
……
Roland read all of their descriptions of the situation, and found that there were no doubts on the whole. The time of the incident was around three o'clock, which should be something that can be determined. In addition, almost all witnesses said that a suspicious cloud appeared near the Duke's Palace at that time, which means that there should be nothing wrong with this.
It's just that in the eyewitness accounts, does that so-called "fireball" really exist? Were there two or three people on the scene?
These two points are the most divergent points.
Ignoring the fireball for the time being, three people appeared in some people's mouths, so who is this third person?
If one is a demon and the other is a contractor, who will the third person be? And in other people's descriptions, this third person does not yet exist...... Roland really couldn't think of a possible scenario.
Sure enough, there was still no progress, and Roland was already a little anxious.
It was late at night.
Through the windows of his room, Roland could see that the hour hand on the city's clock tower was pointing to 12 o'clock. And the others have long since fallen asleep.
Three days to go.
In three days, Roland would be leaving Two Moon City, so he had to make a decision about this matter before he could do so.
As long as he thinks of this, Roland's mood becomes complicated: on the one hand, he can't wait to leave the Moon Country and start a new life, without so many intrigues and conspiracies; But on the other hand, Roland can't rest assured that Rand is always in turmoil in the city, and Roland is worried that Rand will be calculated if Rand supports this huge country alone......
Roland's thoughts began to entangle, his whole body became uncomfortable, and his spirit became a little trance.
In a trance, he accidentally knocked down the things on the table, including the visible agent given to him by Wu Yao. Roland was in a hurry, and hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but although he grabbed the bottle, he accidentally knocked over the lid of the bottle, causing some of the liquid to spill out, and some of it to Roland's hand.
The sensation of the developer on the hand is not comfortable, and it is a little numb. Roland hurriedly found a cloth that could be used nearby, and planned to wipe the potion off his hand.
After wiping, Roland inadvertently glanced at Buppa again, and he was suddenly stunned.
Because the viscous revealing fluid on the cloth is faintly glowing green!
Roland knew that this potion only worked on demons, could it be that this Bupa had also been touched by demons? But this is clearly something new, huh?
Roland couldn't help but look at his hand, and it turned out that some of the potions left on his hand were also emitting green fluorescence!
