"Tell me about Sarif and what you know about him since you came here?" Rogge didn't answer Catherine's question, but turned back to ask.

Hearing Rogge's question, Catherine suddenly frowned, and she pouted in disgust and said, "I hate that guy, I guess he must have been a bad boy like Sam when he was younger." ”

"Let's not mention Sam yet," Rogge said in a warning tone as he held out a finger to stop her, "tell me why you hate Sarif so much?"

Catherine then told Rogge everything about Sarriff's behavior since they met, especially describing his challenge to Murphy, and she couldn't help but scream with joy when she said that Murphy had thrown Sarriff's massive body to the ground.

"That's exciting, isn't it? Let that guy with his nostrils turn up taste it!" said Catherine triumphantly.

"That's true. Rogge casually agreed, and Catherine couldn't help but quiet down, squinted at him for a while, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"

"Sarrif's overall performance shows that he is a reckless man," Rogge said as he walked as he walked with his arms folded across his chest and looking up at the foggy sky, "but he is seriously suspicious, have you noticed his nails?"

"Nails?" asked Catherine, shaking her head blankly.

"Yes, when I was wrong just now, I noticed a faint red layer between the nails of his right index finger......" Rogge looked at Catherine meaningfully, and the girl thought for a moment and asked in surprise, "You mean ......"

"Yes, Sam's wound is very irregularly shaped, if it is a sharp blade, it will definitely leave a neat cut mark, and if you contact the crocodile clan, you will have a sharp claw, this is the best weapon, you just need to clean it as soon as possible afterwards to destroy the evidence. ”

Speaking of this, Rogge suddenly smiled slightly: "However, it is difficult to clean a place like the nail seam." ”

"Then we can use this to prove him!" said Catherine, impatiently.

"No, that's not enough evidence, and a reckless man like Sarriff, do you believe he would have devised such an elaborate murder plan?" Rogge shook his head calmly.

Catherine thought for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly her eyes widened and said, "In this case, it should be the great wizard who instructed him to do it!"

"But don't you think the Great Wizard's words are strange?" said Rog with a smile as he looked at the curious Catherine and shrugged his shoulders.

"Isn't it strange that the previous murder plan and the bullet theft plan were so carefully arranged to cover up his identity, but now he tells us to our face that he is suspected of murder?"

"Maybe he said it on purpose, so that we don't suspect him!" Catherine guessed.

If that's the case, then his move is too risky. Rogge shook his head lightly and smiled: "Don't forget, even if he is a great wizard, he is still a subordinate of Gustav, and Gustav is still the great patriarch, if Gustav believes that he is a murderer, he will definitely die." ”

"Yes, why did the Grand Wizard hint at us like that, wasn't he afraid that we would tell the Great Patriarch and make him a scapegoat?" asked Catherine, looking up at Rogge suspiciously.

"Of course he has his intentions......" Rogge said this, and suddenly closed his mouth, Catherine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked back to find that they had walked out of the shaman's dwelling and into the crowded street of the crocodile people.

"Let's not talk about this yet," Rogge looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, he beckoned to Catherine and said, "Come on, let's go and see if the Great Patriarch has prepared anything delicious for us, and we'll eat them all while the little bad birds are still sleeping!"

"It's so annoying, and it's an appetite!" Catherine looked at his back as he strode away, pouted angrily, and saw that his figure was about to disappear into the crowd, and hurriedly threw his waist-length ponytail in three steps and made two steps to catch up: "Hey, wait for me!"

When the two returned to Gustav's house, it was noon, and Rogge entered the house to find that the seats were already set up on the floor of the living room, and Gustav, Nala, Murphy, and Lisa were already seated in their respective places, waiting for the two to return.

Rogge sat down at his place after greeting everyone, and looked at Lilith in Nala's arms with curious eyes, little Lori was munching on a dark green pastry with two small hands, and when she saw Rogge staring at herself, she glared at him and asked, "What do you see, bad wolf!"

"Why are you here, you little scoundrel, aren't you supposed to sleep in the bird's nest now?" asked Rogge, looking at her with a slanted eyebrow.

"I brought her here," said Nala, who was holding Lilith in her arms, with a smile on her face, "When I went to invite you just now, I found that only your hat was on the table, and I was about to leave when the child suddenly came out of the hat and asked me what I was doing, so I brought her over." ”

"I'm guessing you've told the little villain there's something delicious. Rog glanced at Lilith and smiled at Nola.

"That's right, she said she was hungry, so I brought her here," said Nala, caressing Lilith's head lovingly, "This child is so cute, if only I could have a cute child like her." ”

"I'm sure there will be," Rog said to Nala with a smile, "and your future child will be much more well-behaved and cuter than Lilith, because you don't know this little villain yet, she ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Lilith suddenly broke off a piece of the pastry in her hand and threw it at Rogge, shouting, "Don't speak ill of me!"

"Well, for your sake, I'm not going to say it!" Rogge grabbed the pastry Lilith threw and stuffed it into his mouth, Nala grinned and touched Lilith's head, looking down at her and continuing to gobble it up.

"Mr. Rogge," Gustav said, glancing at Sarif sitting next to Nala, and asked Rogge, "Have you been to the Grand Wizard?"

"I did speak to the Grand Wizard, and I can't say anything about it in front of you right now, I can only say that the Grand Wizard's suspicion has not been ruled out, just as others are similarly suspicious. Rogge replied ambiguously.

"Others?" Gustav asked, surprised, "have you found a new suspect?"

"Not yet, but if we suspect the Great Wizard, then I believe that with his identity, he will not commit the crime himself, and there may be other accomplices, to find the flaws of these people, I think it is easier than directly recruiting the Great Wizard. Rogge picked up the wooden cup in front of him and said.

He took a sip of the slightly sour wild juice from the wooden cup, and continued to say to Gustav: "Don't worry, I will continue to investigate, I think there are not many people in this camp who know how to tame beasts and are noble enough to mobilize soldiers." ”

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly rushed in from outside the door, panting and shouting at Gustav: "Great Patriarch, it's not good, something happened to Captain Salif!"

The people present were taken aback and stood up from their seats, and Nala looked at the soldier with wide eyes and asked, "What's wrong with Sarif?"

"The commander had a sudden convulsion in the kitchen, and then he fell to the ground!" said the soldier in a panic.

Hearing the soldier's words, Nala couldn't help but scream, stumbled out of the door, and the others hurriedly chased out, following Nala's footsteps to the kitchen behind the Grand Patriarch's residence, only to see that Sarif had been carried to the door, and the whole person was unconscious with his eyes closed.

"Brother, Sarrif!" Nala cried and threw herself beside her brother, hugging him and crying, Rog stepped forward and reached out to press the artery in Sarrif's neck, finding that there was no pulse, he looked up at Gustav and shook his head gently.

"What's going on, what just happened?" Gustav pushed back his anger and walked around Sarif's body to the door of the kitchen, where the crocodile cook and the soldiers around him hurriedly stood in a row in front of him.

"Great Patriarch, just now we were preparing food for the guests at noon," said the head chef with trepidation, "because Lady Nala sent someone to inform you that she was going to entertain your guests at noon, so she made two wild ducks for the guests, and the second one had just begun to be made, and Captain Sarif came." ”

"As soon as the commander saw the roasted duck, he asked who it was prepared for, and I told him that he was the great patriarch entertaining distinguished guests, and the commander was very angry when he heard this, and said a lot of ugly things, and while saying it, he tore the duck with his hands to eat, and we did not dare to dissuade him, but he suddenly fell to the ground while eating. ”

"He died of poisoning. Rogge, who was crouching beside Sarrif, turned back to Gustav and said.

Gustav turned to Rog's side, and by this time Nala had been picked up and pulled away by Catherine and Lisa, Rogge crouched beside Sarrif, pointed to Sarrif's body and said to Gustav: "His muscles are severely contracted, his limbs are stiff, the skin on his chest and abdomen is black, and there are signs of bleeding in his nose, which should be caused by a potent toxin." ”

"How so, who poisoned it?" asked Gustav angrily.

"Did any outsiders enter the kitchen before the incident?" Rogge asked the head chef as he got up.

"No, no one has been here before the commander has come in, and the soldiers sent by Lady Nala to inform him are only at the door, and have not come in. The head chef hurriedly replied.

"Is there always someone in the kitchen?" Rogge glanced at the chefs present, and everyone nodded in unison, and Rogge asked again, "Where is the roasted duck now?"

"It's inside, still on the same platform. The head chef pointed into the kitchen, and Rog strode into it, and saw a long stone table in the middle of the kitchen, surrounded by a circle of stone tables, and by one of the windows lay an iron plate with a roasted duck on it.

Rog came to the duck and found that it had torn off the top leg, he looked down and sniffed the surface of the duck, and suddenly his eyes were attracted to something, he noticed that on the plate facing the window, there was a lot of light yellow liquid, some of which had been mixed with duck fat.

"Lilith!" Rogge turned around and shouted, little Lori ran in with a smoke, looking at the roast duck in front of Rogge with bright eyes, Rogge turned his head and pointed to the door: "Don't look at it, this duck is poisonous, go catch a little mouse, I'm useful!"

Lilith pouted and turned to run out of the kitchen, Rog reached out and lifted the window in front of him, and found that the corner of the window sash made of reeds was wet, and the corresponding corner of the window frame also had new scratches, he leaned out of the window and saw a pair of footprints on the ground extending into the distance.

"Looks like this guy knows all about the clues I have, and he's starting to get scared......" Rogge muttered as he stared out the window at the trail of distant footprints on the ground.
