"What did you say?" Alfred looked down at himself in surprise, not understanding what Rog was talking about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What the hell are you talking about, Mr. Rogge? I still don't understand how Alfred used that stone to kill Louie. Christina anxiously stepped forward and looked at Rogge in disbelief.

Rogge smiled faintly when he heard this, looked around at the towering cliffs on both sides of the valley and said, "Let me explain, you may have noticed that there is a strong echo effect in the valley we are in, and the shout left by Alfred a few minutes ago can still be faintly echoed. ”

Everyone present listened quietly, and found that they could indeed hear a very faint echo, only to hear Rogge continue: "When we speak loudly, the echo will sound continuously, as if someone was shouting in our ear. ”

At this time, if someone is fainting as if he was asleep, the sound of his ears echoed incessantly, and it was easy to wake him from his sleep, and the first thought of the person who was awakened was to sit up on the ground under him and observe what was going on around him. ”

"What if this man was lying on a very unstable rock on the edge of a cliff?" Rogge smiled as he looked at Catherine and Christina, and as he spoke, he grabbed the little furball and placed it on the edge of his outstretched hand, and gently poked her little buttocks with his hand, and the little furball fell off Rog's hand.

"Pesky bad wolf, don't show me up, I'm not a stupid rock!" the little furball protested loudly as it fluttered its little wings and flew onto Rog's shoulder.

Roger smiled and continued to say to the crowd: "That's why, Alfred went all the way to ask if you had seen Louie, just to wake up Louie, who was stunned by his potion, with the sound of shouting, causing him to fall with the rock, this is the method of killing people with sound. ”

Catherine and Christina suddenly realized, only to hear Rogge continue to laugh: "Alfred is proficient in the use of herbs, and can easily calculate the duration of the potion on Louie's body, even if Louie wakes up early and falls off the cliff, as long as he is with me and Carl, he can forge an alibi." ”

Speaking of this, Rogge looked back at Alfred, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "That's what I said, that thing on your body that can push down stones from a distance - the ability to control people with medicine, because you are a pharmacist, so only you have it." ”

Christina, who was standing beside Rogge, turned her hateful gaze to Alfred, she hurried forward and snatched the dagger from Brad's hand, grabbed Alfred's clothes and pressed the sword against his neck, and said angrily, "What else do you have to say?

"It's all nonsense, I've never done any of this!" Alfred replied, grabbing Christina's hand and exclaiming.

"It looks like it's time to show some evidence. Rogge heard Alfred's words, smiled slightly, turned to Alfred's bag, crouched down and rummaged through a small cloth bag, opened it, sniffed it, and threw it to Christina.

"This is the mandala powder that Alfred used to medicate you, this thing can be used to relieve pain, but if used in too large amounts, it can poison people, and it is not usually used as a standing healing medicine. Rogge turned back to Christina and explained to her.

"Does that prove that I killed them, maybe someone else stole my medicine and used it to frame me!" Alfred still struggled to defend himself.

"Well, you have a point, but don't worry, I haven't finished showing my evidence yet. Rogge looked back at the little furball on his shoulder, the little owl flapped its wings and landed on the ground, turned into a little loli and poured out a small thing from the small cloth bag on his body, chanted a spell to make it bigger and handed it to Rogge.

"You should recognize what this is, right?" Rogge handed the thing in his hand to Brad, who took it and recognized it as Louie's drinking jug, he looked up and asked Rog after a moment, "This is Louie's thing, why is it in your hand?"

"I found a piece of water-soaked ground on the cliff, but there was no river around it, someone must have poured water on the ground, I remember that Louie's body did not have a kettle on it, so I asked Lilith to search the neighborhood, and finally found this kettle, it was thrown on the other side of the cliff, and I couldn't find it if I didn't look carefully. ”

Rogge pointed to the kettle in Brad's hand and said, "There is still some water in it that has not been completely emptied, I asked Monica to check the water inside, it contains a lot of mandala ingredients, in fact, not only this kettle, each of you has residual mandala powder in the spout of the kettle." ”

Speaking of which, Rogge crouched down beside Alfred and said, "The only one who doesn't have any mandala remnants is you, Alfred, how do you explain this?"

"This can't be, this can't be!" Alfred repeated over and over again, and Rogge looked at him silently for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why don't you do this, you can drink the water in the jug, and you can prove whether what I said is true." ”

Brad on the side couldn't help but say something, stepped forward and directly opened Alfred's mouth, poured all the water in the pot into his mouth, Alfred, who was forced to drink the water in the pot, coughed and cursed them breathlessly, but soon, the whole person fell into a state of drowsiness.

Rogge patted his cheek lightly with his hand and called his name, Alfred looked at him sleepily, and suddenly fell backwards in horror for a moment, crawling and saying, "Don't come, Clark, forgive me, I have no choice, it's all your fault, you shouldn't just agree to give our money to others!"

Christina looked at him in surprise with a ghostly panic on his face, only to see him suddenly stop, raised his head to look at Brad, suddenly struggled to jump up from the ground and pounced on him, reached out to jam his neck, and shouted while carding: "Damn Louie, give me death, only the dead will not tell you, go to death!"

Brad gritted his teeth and kicked him to the ground, drew his sword from behind and was about to stab him to death, Rog suddenly shouted: "Slow!" Brad turned around in surprise, only to hear Rogge say: "If you want to do it, you also want Christina to come, you better not overstep your bounds." ”

Brad glanced at Christina when he heard this, withdrew his sword and retreated from Alfred's side, Christina looked down at Alfred, who fell into a drowse again, and heard Rogge, who stopped beside him, say: "The situation is already very clear, and it is up to you to decide what to do next." ”

Christina was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned and walked to Alfred's bag, took out all the bags of potions in them, asked Brad for Louie's kettle, mixed all the powders together, poured it in, and then poured the water from her own kettle into the pot and stirred well.

He came to Alfred's side, pried open his mouth and poured the liquid from the pot into his mouth, Alfred choked on the water and struggled, but a large amount of potion still entered his abdomen, and soon he convulsed violently, bleeding to death.

Throwing away Louie's kettle, Christina sat on her knees with tears of sadness in her eyes, Rogge squatted down beside her and stroked her shoulders to comfort her, got up and motioned for Catherine to accompany her, turned around and walked to the side, and Brad slowly followed.

"You knew from the beginning that I wasn't the murderer, did you mean to say that?" Brad asked, pausing behind Rogge to stare at his back.

"Yes," Rogge replied honestly as he smoked a cigarette with his back to him, "Actually, I already decided that Alfred was the murderer at that time, but I can't be sure if he was an accomplice, and I don't have enough evidence to charge him, and I need time to investigate this matter." ”

"The price you paid for your time was that Louie lost his life. Brad said with a slightly mocking squint.

Rogge turned his head and smiled angrily when he heard this, and nodded slightly in agreement: "Louie killed himself, obviously, he did not drink the water that Alfred drugged, and witnessed the whole process of Alfred killing Clark, if he came out to identify at that time, there would be no follow-up." ”

He turned around and walked up to Brad and said, "But alas, Louie didn't do that, he took the initiative to ask me to check the weapon, frame the murder to you, and then take the drugged kettle to blackmail Alfred, I guess it was probably to ask Alfred to give him another part of the treasure he brought back after returning to the land of mankind." ”

"It's a pity that he doesn't know what Alfred killed Clark for, and I think the treasure that Clark wants to give you is probably far less than what Louis asked for from Alfred. Brad took Rogge's words and continued.

"No," Rogge said with a smile and shaking his head, "Actually, when I broke up with Clark, I already told him that I didn't want a penny, everything here is yours, and it seems that he didn't tell you about it." ”

Brad looked at him unexpectedly and was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "Maybe Clark just wants to leave Christina an extra dowry, people die for money, birds die for food, many people lose their lives for a moment of greed, maybe my brother is the same, if he doesn't covet that bounty, maybe he is still alive and well." ”

Rog patted him lightly on the shoulder, didn't say anything, passed him and walked over to Christina, seeing that she had taken out all the gold in her bag and placed it on the ground, stacked it as high as a hill.

"Why, don't you want your treasure?" asked Rogge, pausing beside her, looking at Catherine, who was with her.

"I don't have any relatives anymore, so what's the use of any extra money for me?" Christina shook her head sadly, picked up her bag and said to Rogge, "Please send me home, I just want to go back to the place where I grew up." ”

Rogge didn't say anything more, looking at Catherine on the other side, the girl summoned the lamp god and let him open a dimensional passage to Christina's hometown, Rogge and Catherine sent her to the entrance of the dimensional gate, and gently hugged her goodbye.

While Christina and Catherine were embracing, Rogge quickly grabbed a handful of the jewels she had fallen to the ground, stuffed them into her bag, and then watched with Catherine as if nothing had happened to the poor girl and turned away.

Just as Christina's figure disappeared from the dimensional gate, on the ground not far behind Rogge and Catherine, a lying man suddenly sat up from the ground with a loud scream.
