Chapter 168: Certificate of Innocence
PS: I did it, I really did it, I completed five shifts today, a total of 17,500 words, especially tonight, I wrote thousands in just a few hours. It's tiring, but it's satisfying. I've worked hard and begged for support.
An ice arrow shot through Viscount Sargent's mouth and pierced through the back of his head.
"Ahh
Gao Feng said coldly: "If you scream again, I will kill you immediately." ”
Although the soundproofing effect in the room is good, it is easy for her to cause unnecessary trouble by screaming so loudly.
Jennifer's screams stopped abruptly, and she covered her mouth, her face full of horror, but she didn't dare to make a sound again.
Gao Feng frowned and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Jennifer immediately pleaded, "I...... I don't want to die, please don't kill me, whatever you want, I can meet you, just don't kill me. ”
Gao Feng said: "But I don't want to die either, but you want to kill me, and now it's your turn, but you say you don't want to die, isn't it very unfair." ”
Gao Feng suddenly smiled and said: "I am suddenly very happy for Harry now, fortunately you got rid of Harry at the beginning, otherwise, if you marry a wife like you, Harry doesn't know how many green hats he will wear." ”
As soon as Harry was mentioned, Jennifer immediately remembered that Harry was infatuated with him, and Jennifer immediately screamed: "You can't kill me, because Harry likes me, he loves me very, very much, if you kill me, he will hate you for the rest of his life." As long as you let me go, I am willing to marry Harry, and I will definitely live a good life with Harry wholeheartedly. Harry likes me so much, and she will be very happy if I marry him. ”
"I'm sorry, you don't deserve it. As soon as Gao Feng stretched out his hand, an ice spell was issued, and the ice spell hit Jennifer's body. Instantly freeze her body, and also freeze her life instantly.
Gao Feng thought about it, and then received Jennifer's body into the Void Realm, so that Jennifer would become a missing person, and let Harry keep a relatively good memory of her.
As for Viscount Sargent's body, then there is no need to touch him, just let him stay here and be a witness.
Gao Feng's eyes began to glance inside the room. Then walk towards the bookcase in the room.
Gao Feng said so many things to Viscount Sargent just now, but he didn't say it in vain, but to reverse time and space, to see Viscount Sargent's past, to see what secrets he still had, and sure enough, under this look, he saw his private small treasury. The entrance to the small vault was in this room, just behind that row of bookshelves.
A mechanism to open the bookshelf. It is a large vase next to the bookshelf, and when you twist the vase, the bookshelf will slowly move to the left, revealing the vault behind it.
The vault does not have a key, and the lock on it is a combination lock.
The password peak saw it just now. Enter the password, and the door to the vault opens.
Gao Feng's telekinesis swept into the vault, making sure that there were no traps in the vault, and then entered the vault.
The vault is not large, it is a small secret room of less than ten square meters. The chamber was surrounded by metal, which shimmered faintly, apparently magically, making it impossible for telekinesis to check the existence of the vault, and to prevent the contents of the vault from emitting magical fluctuations to be detected by outsiders.
The vault is not big, but it is full of all kinds of items, gold coins, gems, antiques, and some beautifully crafted magic weapons, this should be all the belongings of Viscount Sargent, although there are no precious things, but this wealth is also very valuable, at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins can't run.
The peak did not come in vain.
Wait, what is this, it's a box of gold cards, one, two, three...... Fifteen gold cards, each with a face value of 100,000 gold coins, this box of gold cards is worth 1.5 million gold coins, which is the most valuable part of the entire vault, and it is also the greatest heritage of the Viscount Sargent family.
Gao Feng can be regarded as an error in estimation, with this box of gold cards, this time, the harvest is at least two million gold coins, which is really amazing.
How could these nobles be so rich, with the foundation of these two million gold coins, as long as they are willing to take out half of them, they can invite high-level assassins to kill the peak people in the city without realizing it.
It's a pity that he can't afford to spend so much, so Gao Feng can live well until now.
It's a fluke, it's Gao Feng's luck, fortunately, Gao Feng came to fight back and kill people, if he lets it go, let him continue to spend money to buy murder, Gao Feng is really not necessarily, he can survive.
Now, all this has changed, Viscount Sargent is dead, and this money has also returned to the peak.
Gao Feng began to pack up the loot, packing up all the belongings in the vault into the Void Realm.
How did Gao Feng know that this amount of wealth, but Viscount Sargent's family, had saved more than 300 years to accumulate wealth, if it weren't for this, how could he, a little viscount with no real power, have so much money.
After packing up his belongings, Gao Feng exited the room and headed to Viscount Sargent's family residence.
Moments later, Gao Feng left Viscount Sargent's manor in silence.
It wasn't until the next morning that the body was found by the servants, and it was only then that they learned that there had been a murder in the manor.
Soon after, the body of Viscount Sargent was found, the body of the guard was found, and the body of Viscount Sargent's family was also found.
The murder that occurred in the manor soon caused a lot of sensation in Huangyan City, after all, Viscount Sargent was a nobleman, and the killing of the nobleman was definitely a big event, and it must be investigated clearly.
After investigation, it was found that the housekeeper and the captain of the guard in the manor were missing, and the treasure house in Viscount Sargent's bedroom was opened, and the belongings inside were looted.
The motive is easy to understand, it is for the goods, and the treasures of that treasure trove are very attractive.
And the treasure house was opened by a password, which is obviously a case done by an acquaintance, and outsiders have no conditions to know the password.
Now it's simple. An arrest warrant was issued to hunt down the fleeing butler and the captain of the guard.
I have to say that these sheriffs are all smart people, and they quickly sorted out the clues of the case, as for whether the murderer can be caught, it has nothing to do with them, at least there is not so much responsibility. That's why they're happy to come up with this conclusion.
Gao Feng returned to Huangyan City a month later, and within a month, he went to the Bauhinia Forest three hundred miles away, and there were many first- and second-level demonic beasts living in the Bauhinia Forest, which was very suitable, and a one-star mage like him was trained in.
That's why Peak is out for a month.
Soon after Gao Feng returned to the academy, someone from the noble council immediately came to his door.
Gao Feng was in the living room of the villa and met the two.
Both men were members of the Council of Nobles. One called himself Count Cronk, and the other called himself Count Abram.
In addition to the distinction of titles, there are also types of nobles, one is the nobles with real power, the other is the nobles of fiefdoms, and the last kind of nobles are jokingly called literary nobles.
Both the real power nobles and the fiefdom nobles have a lot of power, and their status is also very high.
And the literary aristocracy is a nice name. Literary and artistic aristocrats have no fiefs and no real power, and most of the time they leisurely discuss poetry and songs. So he was jokingly called a literary aristocracy.
The two nobles in front of them are literary and artistic aristocrats, so they are regarded as earls, but their status is not too high, they just have a false name.
Viscount Sargent also belongs to the literary aristocracy, otherwise, Gao Feng wants to kill him. It's not that easy.
Count Cronk had a straight face, and he asked unkindly in the face of Gao Feng: "Master Gao Feng, the two of us have come to ask you a few questions on the order of the noble council of this city, and please answer them well." ”
Gao Feng owed a debt and said lightly: "Of course." If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them truthfully. ”
Although he was very unhappy with this guy's attitude in his heart, Gao Feng was not caught by the other party because of his attitude.
Count Cronk continued: "It is so, I wonder where you were on the night of the X of the previous month, what you did again, and why you disappeared for a month later. ”
Gao Feng said: "That's the case, a month ago, in order to test myself, I went to the Bauhinia Forest to hunt demonic beasts, after a month of trial, I killed ten first-level demonic beasts, I feel that the trial effect is very perfect, but my body is also tired, so I came back to recuperate." ”
"As for the authenticity of what I said, it is easy to verify, you can send someone to the thorn town near the Bauhinia Forest to inquire, I have been in this town for a month, and my daily necessities have been purchased in this town. ”
After a pause, Gao Feng asked curiously, "Can you tell me what happened?"
"Yes, and in an unfortunate news, a month ago, Viscount Sargent's family was killed. ”
"Oh, that's unfortunate news. Gao Feng asked expressionlessly: "So, what does the killing of Viscount Sargent have to do with me? Do you suspect that I killed him?"
"You are mistaken. Count Abra coughed and said gently: "We didn't suspect you, it's just that because Viscount Sargent's child was killed by you in a duel, you have something to do with it, so come and ask, hoping to get more clues." ”
Gao Feng shook his head and said: "That's really sorry, you know, my duel with Parnell is sacred and just, so there is no problem of hatred between us, and Viscount Sargent obviously agrees with this very much, so he didn't come to trouble me, we lived well, and I can't provide more clues." ”
Count Cronk seemed a little unwilling, and he opened his mouth to continue questioning, but Count Abra did not give him this opportunity.
Count Abra seemed relieved, he smiled and said: "Yes, your duel with Parnell is sacred and just, Viscount Sargent is an upright man, naturally he will not come to your trouble, and you naturally have nothing to do with this matter." ”
Since Count Abra had already made a positive conclusion, Count Cronk could only keep his mouth shut helplessly.
"Well, let's take our leave. ”
"Slow down, two. Gao Feng sent the two out of the door, watching the two gradually move away, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Count Abra and Count Cronk also started a small argument on the way.
Count Cronk was a little dissatisfied with Count Abra's sloppiness, he said in a low voice: "Count Abra, I think this peak mage is still suspicious, we should continue to interrogate, maybe we can get unexpected gains, if we can catch the real murderer of this case, I think our credit will definitely be very huge, this is a murderer who killed a nobleman." ”
The reason why Count Cronk was so active in this matter was because of this great credit.
Count Abra frowned, and said flatly: "Count Cronk's case is very clear and clear, it should be done by the butler and the captain of the guard and the robbers, we are just routinely asking Master Gaofeng, and Master Gaofeng has a very sufficient certificate of innocence." And it was not a wise decision for you to offend a promising one-star mage because of such a thing. ”
"If you want to continue investigating, you can go ahead, I don't think I'm going to go. ”
Count Cronk weighed the pros and cons, but still sighed, and said sullenly: "Well, I'll listen to you." (To be continued......)
