Chapter 41 / Encounter
ps: I've been vomiting blood for the past two days...... Why are you so busy even after the exams?
After Vigille left, Suzo immediately sat up from the bed.
"It's not enough to get out of bed now. Writing something at the desk, Knetting glanced at Suzo with a serious expression, but did not get up from his chair.
"Before the attack, I was a normal person in good health, and there was no problem with moving around. β
Su Zuo stretched his waist, he had no intention of lying back down.
"By the way, Mentor Kneitin, did Sheriff Cromwell talk to you about the shortage of manpower before?"
"What are you asking for? Knetting glanced up at Su Zuo, but perhaps because Su Zuo looked very young, she didn't think much about it, "Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
"Do you remember if there was anything unusual about him at the time, such as what he wanted to take, but he couldn't find it after looking for a long time?"
Suzo smiled innocently, but apart from his tone, there wasn't a word in his words that a child of his age might say.
"I think there is. Knetting put the ribbon on his turban with the barrel of his pen, "It should be that after the doctrinal lecture a month ago, the sheriff talked to me about the problem of the security personnel in Wenning District, but it seems that something was lost, and I hurriedly went out halfway, and it seems that I can't find it back." β
Suzo nodded, it seemed that what Cromwell said to Vigille was at least partially true, but this alone was not enough to clear his suspicions, after all, it was not ruled out that he had already considered the possible surname of exposure a few months ago - or in other words, the simple trick of the corpse crusher, these people from the other world couldn't see through it for months, so it made people think that they had been hit by the aura of brain damage, right?
After Suzo confirmed this, he had other things he wanted to confirm.
"So Mentor Knetting, do you have an impression of this person?"
Suzo verbally described the image of the man, and after listening to it, Knetting almost didn't think about blurting out-
"Is there any problem with that Baptist brother who comes almost every week for doctrinal preaching?"
"Oh......" Su Zuo nodded, and secretly confirmed in his heart-
Add to that Lamberts, and it looks like the suspect has another ......
The genius was bright, and the gray-robed wolf Xue lowered her head and walked on the road with the frozen pear in her arms.
She knew that sometimes in the winter, the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce would bury the pears in the snow in the corner of the yard, because it served as a store and made the pears more delicious.
However, although the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce is much taller than the surrounding houses, it still can't stop a thief like Wolf Xue who has outstanding talent on the beam, so without even the business house itself noticing, there will always be dozens of frozen pears frozen in the yard every year.
"Ah~~ I'm tired, it's finally over. β
Suddenly, a small human voice came from a distance, and Wolf Snow's ears, hidden under her long gray hair, twitched slightly, and the imperceptible tremor in the air was equivalent to clear words in her ears.
"It's nothing today, do you think that murderer was frightened by Captain Nochakin and didn't dare to show up again?"
"It's not for sure, maybe he's just recuperating from his wounds, but it's not the same thing to kill so many civilians and sheriffs and not capture him and throw him to the Inquisitor to behead. β
"Ah...... He's so strong, who can catch him...... Anyway, I don't want to meet him, you don't know that Odd's group is a miserable ......"
The four-member sheriff patrol team hid in the shadows of the alley, and Wolf Snow used her lake-green pupils to quietly stare at the sheriffs on the street outside talking and slowly walking by.
Since the corpse shredding and killing demon incident, the sheriff's presence in Wenning District has suddenly become stronger, but not all residents of Wenning District are happy with this change, at least Wolf Xue is not very happy with this kind of life with zero income.
The money she needed to live lately was given to her by Suzo, and Wolf Xue herself hadn't gotten money for weeks other than stealing. And stealing in Wenning District, the best time is to get a dozen copper coins, which is far from enough.
When the sheriff patrolled, Wolf Snow patted the snow on her body and stood up.
To be honest, she doesn't like to kill, and now she has someone she cares about a lot, and the person she cares about is against her killing, so she hasn't killed for a long time, but after all, she is a wolf living in Wenning District, not a stray dog. Now she has no contribution and is unilaterally supported by Su Zuo, which makes the pride and dignity in her heart unacceptable.
However, Wolf Xue didn't say anything, she hugged the frozen pear in her arms a little tighter, she thought that it would be good if she could go to the lower area through the divine examination, her body was more powerful than those tall short-born men, and she would definitely earn much more copper coins than them......
Virgin walked quietly alone in the alley, and the two sheriff's deputies who followed her had already been sent back by Virgil. She wandered the alleys alone, examining the unobtrusive corners of the alleys in the Wenning district to see if there were any omissions.
It is true that there have been no new killings in the past week, but in Vigil's heart, it is not as easy as other sheriffs. Should it be the calm before the storm? She had such a premonition.
Cromwell didn't give her a chance to be tempted, and although he was suspicious, Vigille couldn't find evidence of the key surname. Lamberts, on the other hand, has been quiet lately, and there is no suspicion of anything other than an arm injury. Therefore, he is undoubtedly much less suspicious than Cromwell.
But no matter how small the suspicion is, the suspicion is still the suspicion. So Vigille suddenly found that by her side, apart from Suzo and Sister Knetting, who had not really delved into this incident, she could not find anyone else who could communicate with her.
After the long winter nights, the temperature outside was still in the minus 40s, and the magic flowing through her body naturally surrounded Vigille, and the cold temperature could not cause any practical damage to her.
This is just something that Wei Jie'er, who is a high-level demon swordsman, can do easily, and once she steps through the Gate of Truth, let alone the ordinary temperature change, in a combat state, even if she is hit by a few fireball spells head-on, it is nothing to protect the fire elemental of the truth level.
Turning her head to scan the cul-de-sac on the left, Vigille turned to the other side without looking, and for three months she had been walking around these alleys every day, and she could be said to be familiar with the terrain near the patrol route.
But there was a little accident today.
"Ahh
The other party just took a few steps back agilely, and didn't make any sound.
"Ah...... I'm sorry, I didn't look at the road......" Vijeel subconsciously apologized, it happened to be a corner, and it seemed that the other party didn't notice that there was someone on the other side.
After bowing her head and apologizing, Wei Jieer had a chance to see the other party's appearance clearly.
It was a gray-haired girl about a head shorter than her.
Her long hair was unkempt and dusty, but even then it could be seen that her hair was of good quality, hanging down softly against her head, and she was firmly wrapped in a gray scarf around her neck to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
She was wearing an equally inconspicuous gray cloth robe, and the crumpled paper bag she was holding in her arms could be seen to have been used for a long time.
As if to resist the cold, she covered most of her face with a scarf, and the moisture exhaled formed frost on the scarf, leaving only her lake-green eyes faintly hidden under her bangs.
"Are you alright?" Wei Jie'er subconsciously reached out her hand, wanting to get closer to the gray-haired girl who seemed a little timid, but she didn't want to be pushed away.
"......" The gray-haired girl lowered her head and rushed past Vigil and quickly fled.
"It's so cold and it's running around. Caught off guard, Wei Jie'er was pushed and staggered, she looked at her right hand with some confusion, and always felt that the girl's strength was a little abnormal, but this was probably her delusion, "But since it's already dawn, then nothing should happen." β
She shook her head and turned to leave, but her steps froze and suddenly stopped where she was.
Voices from memory echo in the head.
ββCovered with muddy blessings, it can be seen that the murderer's height is about 1.5 to 1.6 meters.
-- The cause of death was a torsion of the cervical vertebrae, the murderer's wrist strength was very strong, all of them were instantaneous shattered fractures, and the victim was not even able to make much resistance.
"Could it beβ" Vijeel suddenly remembered the unsolved case three months ago, but was delayed by the corpse shattering incident, and when she thought of this, she no longer hesitated, and suddenly turned around and followed the footsteps left by the girl, and quickly chased after her.
But until she reached the main road, where the ground was frozen solid, she could not see the gray-haired girl again.
