Iron gloves Why would a bard have such a thing in his house? While not a forbidden item, armor itself is expensive and not practical in the city. Even if this Pennet often goes out to fight, at most he brings a few wooden sticks and iron bars, and wearing armor or something like that is too exaggerated. And if you only wear gloves and no armor, it is even more nondescript, that is, you can't achieve much protection, and you will be ridiculed.

And strangely, there was only one glove, and there was a lonely tree on top of the cupboard. Kevin jumped lightly and looked around on the top of the cupboard, but he didn't see another one.

"What are you looking for?" the girl sensed movement and came out of the kitchen.

"This glove ......," Kevin said only halfway, gesturing to the top of the cupboard.

The girl looked puzzled: "Huh, where did this come from?"

"Don't you know?" Kevin surprised, "your stuff." ”

"I don't have this thing at home. But the girl denied it.

Kevin couldn't help but take a closer look at her, from facial expressions to mental fluctuations, it didn't look like he was lying. Immediately reached out and removed the glove from the top of the cupboard.

It is a right-handed glove with iron armor from the back of the hand to the outside of the fingers, and the glove itself is made of leather. There are some scratches on the iron armor, and it seems that it has experienced a slight battle, but the whole is very clean, and it is not visible from a distance.

"Something seems to have been stuffed in this glove?" Kevin was keen, some parts of the glove were stretched and deformed, which was by no means a sign that a human hand could wear it, more like a stone was stuffed inside.

"I don't know. The girl was still at a loss.

"Well," Kevin pulled out the money again, "I'll buy this glove and give you three gold coins." ”

"This is not good," said the girl, whose face changed instantly, and looked shrewd, "I don't know where this glove came from, but maybe my husband is of any use and can't sell it to you." ”

"How much do you say?" Kevin said bluntly.

"I said no, I can't sell it, I can't pay any money. The girl also seemed categorical.

Kai Wen confessed that she just didn't think the money was too much, and asked her to make her own price, but she was worried that she didn't have enough knowledge and offered less price, so she simply said that she wouldn't sell it. To deal with this kind of person, it's too tiring to really make a fuss with her on the glove, so I simply changed the topic.

Putting back the gloves, Kevin returned to his chair and continued, "You know what your husband does, right?"

"Bard, what's the matter?" replied the maiden.

"Is it just a bard?" Kevin asked again.

The girl was visibly wary: "What do you mean?"

Kevin smiled, "Did the sheriff come in the morning?"

"yes, how do you know?" the girl became more and more vigilant, "you, you're also a sheriff?"

"I'm not," Kevin replied, "or I'd have come with them in the morning." ”

"And who are you?" the girl wondered.

"Who am I, you ask?" Kevin was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Who else do I want to ask you?"

"What did you say?" the girl was visibly taken aback.

"It stands to reason that your husband's life and death are unknown at the moment, and you don't look nervous or anxious at all. I'm just going to take out a few funny coins and walk into your house with ease. You're just alone, and although the capital is safe, you can't trust an unknown person so easily," Kevin said lightly.

The girl quibbled: "The relationship between the two of us is not very good, and I wish he died soon." And as for letting you in, I'...... I'm a natural stay, can't I?"

"You're not," Kevin sneered, "you're very shrewd, at least from the conversation." ”

The girl smiled and spread her hands: "What? Am I shrewd? I don't." ”

Kevin asked a different question: "When did you two get married?"

"What does it have to do with you?" the girl said.

"I remember Pennet was quite old, you were very young, how did you two get together?" Kevin asked casually.

"What does this have to do with you?" the girl said in a bad tone.

"Is it because people like Pennet can't find a wife anymore, so they can only find someone to do your job?" Kevin said more and more bluntly.

"You...... What do you mean by someone who does what we do?" The girl's face turned red, "What kind of business am I doing?"

"Special service for members at the tavern?" replied Kevin, "isn't that right?"

"Hmph!" the girl snorted coldly, and said no more.

"But I still don't think it's reasonable. Kevin shook his head.

"What's unreasonable?" the girl asked subconsciously.

"A lot," Kevin replied, "the most unreasonable thing is that now, I said it was like this, and you still didn't drive me away?"

The girl's face changed greatly, more like she was frightened, and then she couldn't answer for a long time.

"What are you waiting for? Are you stalling for time?" Kevin walked to the window and looked out, "You were just in the kitchen, did you move the rescuers?" ”

There was a knock on the door: "Open the door and collect the film fee." ”

As if she had been savior, the girl hurried to open the door. Outside the door, a group of sheriffs rushed in, and in an instant, Kevin was surrounded by a group, and his sword was on his neck.

"Kevin, is that you?" said the sheriff, apparently surprised.

"It's me, what's wrong?" Kevin asked calmly.

"Why are you here?" asked the sheriff.

"I also want to do my best to investigate the truth of the case. Kevin told the truth.

"Really?" the sheriff was visibly unconvinced, "but we've been told that someone is trying to ruin the truth!"

Kevin looked surprised, then thought of something for a moment and looked at the pair of gloves on top of the cupboard. The girl on the side suddenly came to her senses: "By the way, he just said that he had to say three gold coins to buy this glove." ”

The sheriff glanced at it, took off his gloves and looked at them, then abruptly handed them to another colleague. The colleague raised his hand and summoned a hound, which sniffed at the glove and then barked: "Wang, Wang, Wang." ”

The bark was rhythmic, as if to say something. The faces of the sheriffs suddenly changed: "This is the murder weapon." ”

Kevin frowned: "You mean, the murderer used this glove to kill those seven people?"

"Do you still have to quibble?" said the sheriff, grim, "I think you're the murderer, right?"

"If I were the murderer, how could the gloves be on top of this cupboard, I only came to this room for the first time today. Kevin replied.

At this time, the girl suddenly interjected: "By the way, I have never seen this glove before." I was busy in the kitchen, and when I heard something going on here, I came over to take a look, and then he asked me about the gloves on them. But I've never seen that before. ”

The sheriffs suddenly thought to themselves: "So, you brought this glove in the first place, deliberately put it on top of the cupboard, and then pretended to ask the hostess?"

Kevin's heart was shocked, he felt that this routine seemed to be a little deep, and his face couldn't help but be a little anxious, but he just forced a smile and said, "It seems that I can't explain it here." ”

"Let's go!" the sheriff snorted, "although we don't have access to your file, it seems that you are seriously suspicious now. No matter how thick your background is, we still have to act according to the law. ”

"Yes, let's go. Kevin agreed, nodding.

This attitude could not help but make the magistrates wonder, usually in this case they either shouted injustice, rose up to resist, or hung their heads, and this attitude was really the first time I had seen it. At first glance, others thought that the sheriffs were going to invite Kevin to dinner.

Taken to the interrogation room again, the sheriffs began to intensify the interrogation of Kevin. Because we all know that Kevin's background is not ordinary, once there is an order from above, the interrogation may be forced to be suspended. While you may not know it yet, you must hurry.

However, in the face of these interrogations, Kevin seemed in a trance, often answering questions that were not asked, often silent, and his eyes wandered as if he was pondering something.

After an hour of silence, the inquisitors made no progress, and they couldn't help but discuss secretly: "Or, use some extraordinary means?"

The other shook his head: "This person's identity may not be ordinary, and he can't mess around." ”

"Kevin, tell me the truth, did you kill it alone, or did your two accomplices have a part?" the inquisitor asked again.

This question was repeated dozens of times, and each time Kevin didn't react, only this time, Kevin suddenly came to his senses and stretched out his hand: "Bring a pen and paper!"

The inquisitors were stunned and couldn't help but look happy, could it be that he was finally going to tell the truth?

Kevin immediately wrote a long paragraph, but he didn't stop writing and continued to write.

"What are you writing about?" the inquisitor ran over to take a look, only to see that he had written some gibberish passages, and couldn't help but be angry.

"I'm updating," Kevin replied calmly, "I've been off for two days, and I can't break it anymore." ”

Everyone: "......"

"I know some of the rules and regulations of interrogation, and I've seen some similar literature," Kevin looked up at them and smiled, "You guys can try to get a confession." ”

Everyone: "......"

It wasn't until late evening that the inquisitor finally couldn't take it anymore and threw Kevin into his cell. At this time, the crow finally sent some news to Kevin. The two of them can communicate through the spirit of the contract, and Kevin also complained first: "You can sleep really late to catch up on sleep." ”

The crow ignored it directly and replied to the important clue: "I went to Pene's house again as you wanted, and I flew in through the window, and there was no problem." ”

"What did you find?" asked Kevin.

"Yes, I found a space ring on the cupboard," Raven's tone was a little surprised, "it's mostly empty, but there's still a stack of papers. ”

"Oh, what's it in general?" Kevin asked.

"Recording some of the contents of the intervention of external public opinion in the process of studying crows and parrots in those years," the crow's emotions seem to be a little complicated, "The meaning of this document seems that the reason why the crow was ordered to be killed back then was because external public opinion thought that the crow was unlucky! Several big nobles jointly opposed it, and finally this result came to be. ”

"Really?" Kevin's tone was as calm as possible, "and what do you mean now?"

Silence, a long silence, a full ten minutes of silence, so long that it almost made people forget what the last sentence was, and the crow finally responded: "My ability is limited, and there are serious pages missing in this document, and it will take a long time to investigate." ”

"You can, you have time!" Kevin couldn't help but be anxious.

"There are some things that I can still distinguish, such as the difference between committing a crime in person, and instigating a crime," replied the crow, "no matter how turbulent the public opinion was at the time, the one who personally ordered the crime was the most culpable, wasn't he?"

"There are some things that still need to be investigated, maybe someone faked the news at the time?" Kevin advised.

"I know where you stand," replied the crow, "what you must say in order to protect the interests of the Terrans." But your behavior clearly told me that as long as there is an opportunity, you will take revenge. Otherwise, on the kobold's side, the retinue of the Juggernaut would not have died. Now, my chance has come. ”

Kevin let out a long sigh, his hand clenched the cell door, and tears already flashed in his eyes: "You ......"

"I," replied the crow, "it was I who slain, and I put my gloves on top of the cupboard to throw you into prison." To tell you the truth, you're a master, old man, and you know me very well, but at the same time I know you very well. ”

"No wonder," Kevin sighed, "I've always wondered if you used to track tasks and almost always accomplished them perfectly. This time, he suddenly walked away for a long time, and then made up a man in black to kill seven people. I'm afraid it's difficult to restore the details, and I'm worried that there will be flaws, so I simply said that I walked away, right?"

"Yes," replied the crow, "you have just beaten them fat, and I will make up a few more punches to kill them." In any case, the next day the body found will be counted on your head. ”

"The sheriff's autopsy report says that he was beaten to death with a fist, and now I think it was the iron glove, which the hound had sniffed and proved to be the murder weapon," Kevin continued. ”

"Yes," replied the crow, "I bought this glove at my own expense." I've had this idea since you beat that Minstrel Pene on the first day. The next day you met again and made an appointment, and I didn't hesitate to carry out the murder plan. ”

"You're so decisive," Kevin continued, "and why did you deliberately let Pennet go? Could it be that he's something important and can't die, or is he just trying to lure me to his house?"

"I know your habits very well, and you will certainly investigate the truth," replied the crow, "and since Pennet has run away, his house must be the first to visit." I'll wash the iron gloves beforehand and put them on top of the cupboard, and you'll find out. ”

"The sheriff had investigated his house in the morning, and how could such obvious evidence be left in place? Kevin smiled wryly.

"After that, just find a way to notify the sheriff to come. Thankfully, I didn't have to do anything at all, and the woman was already doing it for me. You were so weird in her room that she scared her straight to the police. She had never seen an iron-clad glove before, and even if hypnotism told the truth, it was still the same sentence. And you, in a short period of time, will definitely not be able to get rid of the relationship, and you will inevitably go to prison again. ”

"You took a lot of trouble to get me into the cell," Kevin smiled wryly, "Now it seems that time has moved forward, and the note that appeared on Sain's bed is probably also your handwriting, right?"

"Indeed," replied the crow, "without these notes, how to make Sain suspicious, and his future plans would be impossible." But, in fact, I only put the note once. That is, the second time Sain agreed to meet with the other party, but no one came because the time was up. So I simply went up with a note, put it on the roof of the building, and pretended to have found it. ”

"You only put it once?" Kevin looked surprised, "And who put it the first time?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter anymore. The raven replied.

Kevin felt that there was a loophole in the middle: "Were you going to kill at that time? Later, I went out and met Pennet and other bards, was that a coincidence?"

"It is indeed a coincidence," replied Raven, "that so-called parent union does exist, and I am one of them. ”

"You're one of them?" Kevin was obviously a little surprised this time.

"Maybe it's just a supernumerary," replied the crow, "and I used to follow the parrots who had been pornographic, and finally got in touch with them." It's just that I haven't told you any of that. Since then, the organization has been very low-key, usually just doing some propaganda work, which didn't help me much for revenge. ”

"So you want to lure me out!" Kevin instantly understood, "Lend me my hand and kill them." No, it's to create a sense of crisis for them, so let them fight back!"

"Yes, that's why I killed seven members at once," replied Raven, "and they have no way out now. Or rather, I made them think that there was no way back. ”

"Throw me into a prison cell and unite a parent alliance, but even then in the capital, you want to challenge the archmage?" Kevin didn't believe it, "What other tricks do you have? orcs?"

"I've said enough," Raven suddenly suppressed his lines, "anyway, old man, you're a bard." Remember not to slander me after I die. ”

Kevin clutched the cell door with both hands, sad in his heart. The crow has long been aware of death, and no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it is not ready to live in the world.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Kevin asked.

"Actually, when revenge is approaching, I am a little uneasy," Raven said truthfully, "A few weeks ago, I could barely sleep, and even had some unreal feelings in a trance. It's a pity that you didn't even notice it, maybe I, as a crow, don't have a relationship with facial expressions after all?"

"Stop it, it's still too late. Kevin finally advised.

"The opportunity is fleeting, the Great Magister is super strong, I may not be able to beat him in my life. The Archmage has a long lifespan, and I may not survive him. At present, it is the early stage of urban development, and there are many loopholes in the urban circle that can be exploited, but as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer loopholes. There's the best time to do it, I think clearly, old man. ”

Kevin fell silent.

After a moment, the crow replied, "It's time, I'm going." The Equal Covenant was directly touched, and Kevin only felt like his brain was empty, as if something was missing. The next moment, the entire capital was dark, and the whole city stopped again. (https:)
