Chapter Ninety-Six: Dead Dogs Can Talk

At the gate of the inner city palace of Thunder Castle in the Titan King City, a black-robed man walked quickly to the guards standing guard, and the guards saw him leaning down and asked, "Who is it?"

"Master William has asked me to ask where the body of the dog beside Prince Tyrrell is. The black-robed man leaned back slightly, revealing only half of his face below his nose, and asked in a low tone.

"At the military dog clinic," the guard said, pointing in the direction of the inner city gate, "just outside the city near the inner city gate, exit the city gate and turn left." ”

"Thank you. The black-robed man turned and walked in the direction of the city gate, listening to the whispers of the two Titan soldiers behind him as he went: "What the hell are the dark wizards going to do here, it's not good since they came here!" "Shhhhhh

The black-robed man walked silently down the slope of the grand staircase, feeling as if he had descended a mountain, and when he approached the two rows of statues that stood in the large square in front of the palace castle, he dodged behind one of them.

"How is it, did you ask?" asked Rogge and Catherine, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted them.

"Oh no, you can come up with this crooked trick!" the black-robed man lifted the hood of his black cloak to reveal Antonio's face, and he glanced at Rogge and told him what the soldier had said.

Rogge smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Sure enough, pretending to be William's subordinate is still very effective, and the head of the regiment has to continue to pretend." ”

He summoned the little owls, turned the three of them into worms and stood on her back, and spread his wings and flew out of town, and the little furball landed on a remote and silent street according to Rogge's guidance.

"It should be here. Rog looked around the street, with the walls of the inner city on one side and a row of towering stone houses on the other, the doors of the houses at the entrance of the street were open to reveal a corridor with black holes, which was still somewhat eerie even in the daytime.

"Little one, let's fly in and see!" said Rog, who had been turned into a cricket, touching the little owl's head with his tentacles.

"I'm so tired, I've been flying around with three people for so long, and I don't even have anything to eat!" said the little owl, shaking his feathers aggrievedly.

"You're ......on the ghost ship," Rog could say before the little owl shouted, "Don't say it, I'll just go over!"

Lilith jumped to the door, tilted her little head and looked into the hallway, as if she heard a "purring" sound coming from inside, she looked in with wide round eyes in curiosity, and saw two eyes bigger and rounder than her light up.

A black six-legged dog suddenly jumped out of the shadows, its claws slapped down heavily on the little owl's side, opened its big mouth and pounced, the little furball was so frightened that all the feathers on its body stood up, and even forgot to fly, and turned around with its wings and ran down the street.

She stumbled down the stairs and fell to the ground, getting up in a panic, and before she could stand firmly, the hot air from the big dog behind her blew her to the ground, and the little one looked back and saw the giant dog approaching with a bright red tongue, and was so frightened that he wrapped his wings around himself and screamed.

"Little fool, undo the transformation technique!" "Rogge, who fell to the ground, turned around and yelled at Lilith, Xiao Jia was stunned for a moment, and cried: "I forgot the spell, help!"

The dog rushed forward, licked the little furball with his tongue, and then bit it down with its sharp teeth, and Lilith suddenly remembered something in horror, and shouted with all her might, only to see a golden light reflected on the giant dog's eyes.

The giant dog was startled by the dazzling light, and subconsciously retreated backwards, and then two gunshots rang out, and the silver marbles shot by the silver gun hit the eyes of the giant dog, and the black dog was in pain in both eyes, and turned around and hid in the gloomy corridor with his tail between his legs.

"You little fool," said Rogge, who had changed back to his original form, squatted down, picked up the little owl and sighed, "You are really a disgrace to the birds, this is the first time I have seen a flying bird flee for its life on two legs!"

"Woo woo, people won't help you in the future, villain!" The little guy shook the feathers off his body and threw the big dog's saliva at Rogge, who looked back at Antonio and Catherine helplessly, and shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from the hallway, and Rogge hurriedly whispered to Antonio, and then pulled Catherine to hide in the corner next to the stairs.

"Who bullied my dog?" A white-robed titan giant walked out of the gate, searched left and right with his eyes, and was stunned for a moment when he saw no one around, and suddenly heard someone on the stairs shouting, "Hey, it's me!"

"Who are you?" the giant asked in surprise as he crouched down and looked at the black-robed man, frowning.

"Lord William, let me ask if His Highness Tyrell's dog is here?" the black-robed man asked in a gloomy tone.

"You're the one brought by the Dark Wizard, right?" the titan suddenly realized and nodded, "That dog is here, do you want to see it?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the giant reached out and put him on his shoulder and led him into the hallway, where the giant told Antonio that this was the military dog clinic dedicated to Fort Thunder, where all injured or dead dogs were treated.

He took Antonio around and around to a small room in the middle of nowhere, and said as he opened the door, "Speaking of which, if only someone else's dog had already been disposed of by now, but this is His Highness Tyrrell's dog, I don't dare to dispose of it without permission, so I put it here." ”

He led Antonio into the small room, not noticing that a small bird flew in silently after him, and in the small space, there was a huge dog with snow-white fur lying on the ground.

"Thank you, can you give me a moment? I'm going to take a good look at it. Antonio asked the giant to put him on the ground, and then said to the giant, who hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and turned to leave the room.

"Okay, we've got you!" said the little owl as the owl landed on the ground, Rog and Catherine jumped off her, and after Lilith lifted her transformation, Rogge looked up at the dog's corpse and said.

He asked Lilith to shrink the dog's carcass and sent her out into the hallway to spy on the outside, and the little furball reluctantly flapped its wings and flew out.

"Alright, let me hear what you know. ”

Rogge lit a cigar and squatted down next to the dog's corpse to take a closer look, and found that the white hair on its whole body was neatly combed, not mutilated, there was no residue or blood on its paws, and its bones were not misplaced and broken, as if it had been in a fight.

He lifted the dog's eyelids with his hand and found that its pupils showed signs of dilation, and he broke the dog's mouth again, and found a large amount of coagulated black blood clots in the mouth, which made him frown and shake his head gently.

"Well, did you find anything?" asked Antonio, looking at Rogge intently.

"It's a little strange," said Rogge, placing the dog on the ground, looking up at the two of them, "First of all, the dog's fur is intact and neatly combed, there are no injuries on the surface of the body, the bones are intact, there is no blood or any residue on the paws, and there is no sign of a fight at all. ”

"Could it have been cleaned up?" Catherine said, glancing back in the direction of the gate, "Isn't that giant in charge of dealing with dead dogs?"

"It only concealed some clues, but not wounds and fractures, and its fur showed no signs of burning, and I found signs of dilated pupils in its eyes, and black blood clots in its mouth, indicating that it had been poisoned to death. Rogge said as he broke the dog's mouth open for the two of them.

"Poisoning?" Antonio and Catherine looked at each other and suddenly realized: "If you say that, no wonder the soldiers around you didn't hear the dog barking!"

"But," Rogge asked, looking at them with a puzzled look, "and if they can poison Tyrell's dog, why don't they just poison Tyrell?"

He stood up and said to the two of them, "I have not found similar black blood clots in the mouths and noses of the three corpses, none of them have been poisoned, and no lacerations have been found on their bodies, unless they ......"

"Unless?" Antonio and Catherine got up and stared at him, and when they saw him suddenly their eyes light up, they turned around and cried out, "Lilith!" The little owl flew in from outside and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's go back to the palace, we already know enough!" he said, looking at Lilith and the two of them with burning eyes, snuffing out the cigar in his hand.

The three of them were brought back to the hall where the three charred corpses were kept, the hall was empty, the three bodies were still lying silently, and Rog asked Lilith to shrink them and send her out the door to keep an eye on them.

He took a cigar in his mouth and examined the three corpses inch by inch with his hand, and found that none of them had obvious lacerations, but all the neck bones were broken, he used the claw blade of his left hand to cut the throat of the corpses, and after careful inspection, he raised his head and showed a smile.

"As I expected, their neck bones were broken, and there were no burns, soot, or similar black blood clots in their throats, indicating that they had not died of fire or poisoning!" he said, standing up from the bodies and speaking to the two men.

"Are you saying that they were all burned with fire after their neck bones were broken?" Antonio frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Why did the murderer do this?"

"In order to cover up his murder methods!" said Rogge, pointing to the corpse at his feet, "A person whose neck bone has been broken will have a clear bruise on his neck, but if the skin is severely burned by the flames and the epidermis is charred black, it is impossible to see the clues at a glance!"

He smiled and took a puff on his cigar and smiled at Antonio: "It's as if when we first saw the corpse, our first thought was that people were burned to death, and it was easy to cover them up without a special examination." ”

"But why did Thorin let people do this?" asked Catherine, bewildered, "what good did it do him to have him cover up the cause of Tyrell's death?"

Rogge shook his head with a smile and smiled meaningfully, "That won't do him any good, because it's not Thorin's order!"

He snuffed out the cigarette butt of his cigar on the blade of his claws and said to the two, "Come on, it's time to meet the real murderer!"

(As Lao Luo said, the dead dog seemed to tell him a lot of useful things, and how will Lao Luo find out the murderer in the end, and who is the real murderer? There is only one truth, so stay tuned!)
