Chapter 42: Confusion
After martial law, Thunder Cliff quieted down, and everyone gathered at the hotel where they lived, and they didn't go out to the streets to shop. They had already received word that the Parliament City envoys had been killed in a hotel in the city. Most of these Salts were talking about who did this and what their intentions were.
Although the scene where the envoy was killed has been protected, in fact, there is still a rumor in the city, there is a large amount of werewolf hair at the scene, and the envoy has also been gnawed by some kind of creature. The most likely inference, then, is that the emissary of the Parliament City was killed by a mad werewolf.
Of course, there are also many conspiracy theorists who say that there is an extremely significant conspiracy here. Parliament City is the most important city in all of Elam, and now the rise of Thunder Bluff and the fact that he is controlled by monsters. The councillors of the council city couldn't sit still, and directed and staged the murder.
In order to have a reason, to exterminate this increasingly powerful monster city. The reason for this argument is that the envoys were not important people, and they did not go to see the lord of the city on the day they came, but found a small hotel to stay in, and even their status as envoys was only confirmed later by the letter of appointment of the mission found by the Salts of the First Legion when they checked their luggage.
"What do you think?" asked Glock in the bloodstained room, Greel, who had been assigned to deal with the matter. In the room, the corpses had been removed and parked in a specific area, leaving only white human imprints.
These patterns drawn later, because the corpse had been moved by the people who came to the room, did not actually have much effect, but later, at the request of Mo Yan, according to the image of the hotel staff who found the murder. It is possible to let the people who came to the scene later know what the situation was like at that time.
"What do you think?" Regel, who looked at the corpse imprint, suddenly came back to his senses and said to Glock, who was questioning, "You mean this case? I don't know much about it now, the only thing I know for sure is that it was a murder." And you must have done some research before I came, right? What did you find?"
"It wasn't the werewolf who did it. Glock pointed to a mark in front of the door and said, "First of all, if werewolves want to kill, then they won't knock on the door and come in." Their paws allow them to fly over walls, and the windows are definitely more unexpected than the doors, so that the people in the room are not guarded. ”
"That's right. Regger remembered that they were in the jungle and were attacked by the werewolves of the First Legion, and said, "Those guys are very good at climbing trees. ”
"The murderer who came in killed the person who opened the door in an instant. Glock pointed to a cut mark on the corner of the table in front of the bed, and a torn quilt and said, "The people in the room are very alarmed by this incident, and they accidentally cut here when they took out their weapons. And here, a person who was originally sitting on the bed, turned back in a panic, and took out the long sword at his waist and cut through the quilt. ”
"Very normal reaction. Regel said, "Hearing the cries of their companions, everyone else will react in this way, but how did the five people get killed? Even if it is a more powerful monster, five people can delay it even if it can't be killed, right? And where is the employee, I heard that the body was found the next morning." ”
"The staff at the inn had just moved in from Lobito, and they were well paid, you know. Glock shrugged his shoulders and said, "As for what you mean, I understand. I asked everyone in the store and they all said they didn't hear anything. Unless the people in the store are murderers or accomplices, it is impossible to have such a unified caliber, and there is a strange place. ”
"Where is it?" asked Regel when he heard Glock's words.
"Here. Glock pointed to the fragment of the teacup under the table and said, "There are seven teacups here, and there are only six people in the envoys. Apparently someone from the legation had stayed here and talked to them about the time before the murder, or that the person who disappeared was the murderer. ”
"This person is unlikely to be the murderer. Regel looked around and said, "In that case, the corpse at the door cannot be explained, you said that he was killed behind the door of the door." The one in the corner of the wall was obviously thrown by the murderer, and the murderer had a strong arm on the surface of the crack on the wall.
There are obvious signs of a fight on both the bed and the furniture, indicating that the fighting was fierce at the time. Except for one possibility, the employees downstairs could not have not heard. ”
"You mean magic?" said Glock, "but there are only a handful of people in Thunder Cliff who can use magic, and apart from the two succubias of the Minotaur, only the Black Dragon Society can use it." I think it's unlikely that these three people are murderers, the succubus has almost been tired of being with the minotaur these days, and the black dragon has already gone to the north with the Second Legion. And none of them have the motivation to do it. ”
"I didn't say that. Regal smiled and said, "Maybe it could be a magical item, I've seen this happen when I was in Maro City." It was later discovered that it was a mage apprentice who had stolen one of his mentor's magic items. He raped and killed the daughter of the victims' parents next door to them.
At that time, the victim's parents did not hear any movement, and it was not until they saw that their daughter had not gotten up the next day that they found out that their daughter was dead. The case was well-known in Maro at the time, and many people were invited to arrest the murderer. At the time, almost no one doubted that the apprentice was almost promising. ”
"It's not the same here. Glock began to walk out, and the evidence here was valuable, and the rest had been destroyed by the rampant innkeepers.
"I know. Regger nodded and followed Glock down the stairs and said, "I've seen all those corpses, except for the two ones that were broken into two sections, the other corpses all have obvious bite marks. Part of the flesh of the corpse is missing, and we can assume that it was eaten by the murderer. ”
"None of the details matter. Glock shook his head and said, "The important thing is why the murderer spilled the werewolf's fur on the scene? And the First Legion does have a patrol missing, and if the City of Parliament bites on that, we're in for a great war. And I don't want to fight this battle. ”
"Are you done?" said Matthew downstairs as he watched the two of them walk down, "How's it going?"
"Not yet. Regel shook his head and said, "But I think there should be a breakthrough soon, after all, the city lord has limited us to solve the case within three days." ”
"I'll do my best to help you. Glock said: "I will follow up on the case in other ways, I will let you know if anything is found, and if you need support, you can come to the barracks to find me, if I am not there you can also find my adjutant and I will arrange for him to provide you with support." ”
"Thank you very much. Regel nodded and said, "Then that's it for today, I'll go back and sort out the clues I got today and see what the breakthrough points are." ”
"Goodbye then. Glock said with a military salute to Regel.
"What are we going to eat today?" Matthew, who had left the inn where the crime occurred, asked Legel, who was looking down and thinking, "I heard that there is a barbecue restaurant here that is very good, and the way of barbecue is taught by the city lord himself. Almost everyone who has eaten it says that the barbecue there is the best barbecue they have ever tasted. ”
"Dinner?" Legel looked at Matthew, who was not nervous at all, and said with a smile, "Speaking of eating, do you know what I promised with the city lord?"
"What's the matter?" asked Matthew, unconcerned, hearing Regel's words.
"If things can't be resolved in three days. Regel said unhurriedly: "Then the entire SS food will be on the same level as the goblins for a month." ”
"Divine horse!!!" exclaimed Matthew, his voice sounding loud in the empty streets, "Then why are you still grinding around here!!! Hurry up and get the damned prisoner out of me right away! Eat the same pig food as the goblin, I'd rather die!"
"Now you're in the spirits?" Regger looked at the excited Matthew and said with a smile, "Don't you plan to go there and eat that barbecue?"
