How could Fries die? Du Chen couldn't believe it, he did clean up Fries badly last night, but it would definitely not be fatal!

"How could this be?" Du Chen walked up to Ferdinand and asked puzzledly, "Could it be that he was too seriously injured and died?"

"No, the priest of the Holy Cult has already healed his injuries, and he didn't die because of this!" Ferdinand's purple eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his kind voice raised a few pitches, "He died in the guest room of this church, less than fifty meters away from me!"

Although this old god stick is still maintaining his demeanor, Du Chen can feel that he is ashamed and angry!

Ferdinand, as the religious leader of the Ranning Diocese, has a very noble status, and the Cathedral of St. John is the spiritual belief of all the fighting gods in the Lanning Empire, but last night, Ferdinand's prisoner was killed, and he was killed right under his nose.

How can Ferdinand not be angry? And outsiders don't know that St. John's Cathedral hides hundreds of masters of the Holy Sect, and Ferdinand himself is not simple. But that's it, someone still killed Fries without knowing it!

Du Chen lowered his head and said, "I am saddened by the death of Fries, I thought about it carefully last night, he didn't want to murder me, but just out of anger to get back the face he lost at the banquet, but...... Alas, Godfather Ferdinand, what can I do for you now?"

He was a little worried, if a person died, would there be any money for his sins?

"You go and say goodbye to Fries first!" Ferdinand led Du Chen up the stairs from the cloister on one side of the hall.

The moment he went upstairs, when Du Chen was looking at the surrounding environment, he suddenly found that there was a mottled mark on the wall where Ferdinand was standing just now, which was blocked by Ferdinand just now.

This mark is more than one person high, like a ...... Du Chen thought of the mottled tiles on the main entrance of the church, and suddenly thought that there should have been a statue here before, but it was destroyed!

Upstairs, in front of Du Chen was a long corridor, with a red carpet on the ground, white doors on both sides, and two fifth-level blue-clothed warriors stationed next to one of the doors.

Seeing Ferdinand coming with Du Chen, one of the warriors pushed open the door.

A pungent smell of blood filled Du Chen's nasal cavity, and he had seen a lot in his previous life, but when he glanced at the corpse in the room, he almost vomited.

Fries's body was curled up on the carpet as if it had been skinned alive, its tender red flesh exposed, its limbs constricted, its bones clearly visible, and its bulging eyes were bloodshot like two red blood balls on the white bones.

The most terrifying thing was that through the two arms curled up in front of his chest, the internal organs behind the ribs were faintly visible, and among them, the heart was still beating one by one.

As the heart beats, the blood vessels on the corpse bulge one after another, and it seems that Fries is not dead yet!

Du Chen took a few deep breaths, suppressed the churning chest and looked at Fries's corpse again. But at this time.

Fries's eyes moved, and he looked at Du Chen fiercely!

"God of Fighting!" Du Chen was startled, and hid sideways behind Ferdinand, "He's not dead yet?"

"No, he's dead!" Ferdinand looked at Fries' body calmly, and his eyes rolled back and forth, "This is a very vicious method of killing, Fries's soul is gone, but his pain continues, alas, if it weren't for the truth, I should have helped him rest in peace!"

Du Chen's Adam's apple made a 'grunt' sound, and he forced himself to look away from Fries, looking at the scene of the murder.

This is a very ordinary bedroom, with white walls, white floor-to-ceiling beds, and even the bed, table and chairs are white, but this holy color is a little weird at the moment.

Du Chen was surprised: "What about the blood?

"Your observation is very good!" Ferdinand pointed to the room and said coldly, "Everything is intact at the scene, and there were two fifth-level fighters guarding Fries last night, but this is what you saw when the servants delivered the food this morning." ”

"Godfather, you're saying that someone sneaked into St. John's Cathedral and killed Fries under the guard of two fifth-level fighters, without leaving a single clue?"

"No, he still left a clue!" Ferdinand stepped forward, leaned down, and gently opened the corpse's arms curled up in front of his chest, pointing at his throat, "You see, the murderer cut Fries' Adam's apple with a knife, and then peeled off his skin from the neck. This method of killing is a clue in itself!"

"Who would use this method of killing? It's too cruel!" Du Chen couldn't help but look at the corpse.

"This is a very old criminal law, called 'skinning and hiding clothes', it is the criminal law of humans when they executed demon prisoners of war a long time ago! Now, except for the elder fighting gods of the Holy Sect and some ancient family heirs, no one will use it!" Ferdinand said slowly: "Executioners generally collect the human skins of the tortured and regard them as honors, so the human skins of Fries are the clues!"

Oh my God, the Einz continent is so barbaric! Du Chen couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Francis, say goodbye to Fries, and tell me in detail how you met the masked fighting god last night!"

"Godfather, do you suspect that the masked fighting god is the murderer?"

"Yes, other than that, I can't think of anyone who has a reason to kill Fries, according to my speculation, it should be a ninth-level fighting god who traveled to St. John's City, he first stole Karman's holy weapon, and then for some reason, saved you with a claw war hammer, but stealing is a shame for the fighting god, so he wants to kill anyone who has seen him use a claw war hammer! But there is still a doubt here, that is, why did he not kill Fries on the spot, and with his strength, he can easily kill people even without using holy weapons, and there is no need to use stolen goods to leave clues......"

Ferdinand eloquently stated his analysis, and Du Chen couldn't help but laugh and cry.

It was Du Chen who stole the holy weapon and injured people, but who was the one who infiltrated the church and killed people? Du Chen didn't have that ability, let alone such cruel means.

"Say goodbye to Fries, and tell me more about the masked fighting god!"

Du Chen forcibly endured the feeling of vomiting, said a few words of rest to the corpse, and then said: "Godfather, last night I was chased by Fries, fled into the seventh block, and met the masked fighting god in an alley, he was very tall, strong, and hoarse, and he flew away after defeating Fries!"

"Tall, strong, and hoarse, well, thanks for the clue!"

Ferdinand walked out of the room with Du Chen, and returned to the hall, "Francis, you can go back, please keep this matter a secret, and be at my call at any time, as for the matter of the ransom...... Wait for my notification. Also, be more careful lately, it's best to ask Duke Angels to send a guardian fighting god to protect you, after all, you've also seen that masked fighting god!"

Du Chen smiled: "Since he saved me, he shouldn't kill me, right?"

"I can't say, the tempers of the high-level fighting gods are very weird, and they have no common sense to follow!"

It turned out that the senior fighting gods did everything according to their mood, Du Chen left the cathedral, still thinking about the murder in the church, but he was confused and had no clue.

However, Fries's death was definitely not because he saw any masked fighting gods, so Du Chen didn't need to worry about his safety.

Steve was still outside, Du Chen did not hide the news from his eldest brother, as soon as he heard that Fries was dead, he first laughed three times, and then wailed, "The ancestors are above, don't waste the ransom!"

On the way home, Steve still kept praying that the ransom money was still counting, looking at the appearance, he was more anxious than Du Chen, there was no way, people waited for his brother to make a windfall, and borrowed him a few gold coins to please the beautiful ladies!

Just as he was nagging, the carriage drove into the aristocratic district in the east of the city, and they suddenly heard someone outside the car stop drinking, "Stop, there is an emergency in the east of the city, no traffic!"
