Villa Fairbers, study. Fairbers was already dressed and placed in the chair in front of his desk, crawling on the desk as he had seen it when Chadort came, clutching the wooden fountain pen in his hand.

After driving out all the servants, Lady Patty herself came to the place where Chardo had placed Fairbes before, and tapped lightly, and then knocked elsewhere.

The voice was no different, and there was no obvious switch on the surface, and Mrs. Patty looked at Xia Duo again,

"Lady Saddo-"

"I'll try it!" Xia Duo was sure that there was a dark compartment underneath, but it was detected through Fairbers' corpse at that time, and it would be good to know that there was something inside, so he didn't carefully search for the way to open it.

If you want to open it now, Xia Duo still needs to cast [Imagery] again, this spell is a variant that combines [Communication] and [Illusion], and it is still a 0 ring spell in essence.

The maximum range that can be detected is not more than an arm, and it is also related to the material of the object, the denser the object or the more fluffy the object, the more the detection range, and the more can be detected out of the intermediate state.

Before performing [Imagery], Xia Duo glanced at Master Carey, and Carey snorted coldly and turned his head, which in the eyes of Mrs. Patti may not want to snoop on Xia Duo's secret.

But in fact, the recognition of spells in the mage's focused state does not exactly need to be seen by the eyes, and can be vaguely judged by perception alone.

The last time I let Carey see him cast a spell, this time I don't want to cheap Carey, this spell itself is not much difficult, and what is valuable in it is the application of sound that Xia Duo brought from the earth.

Echo detection is known to almost everyone on Earth, but this is not the case in Resistant Color, and even if someone knows, they will not easily tell others.

Hum - Xia Duo's palm hovered less than 2 centimeters above the floor, and the invisible wave instantly penetrated the board, and the floor actually resonated with Xia Duo's sound waves, making a low humming sound.

In this way, it was difficult to detect specific information, and Xia Duo immediately adjusted the frequency, and a gray picture with obvious outlines and different shades of color was fed back.

This time, he not only identified the contents inside, but also found the mechanism to open the dark grid. In front of Pativ, Xia Duo flipped the switch—an eye-shaped switch hidden in the wooden texture of the floor, almost the size of a normal thumb, and might be able to spot it if someone familiar with the wooden texture examined it closely.

When the switch was pressed, a piece of floor slowly closed, revealing a dark grid.

"Ahh

"That eye!" Without checking the items of the dark grid in the first place, Mrs. Patty had already cried bitterly, and in the face of the sudden loss of emotional control, Xia Duo took a step back.

At this time, Carey stepped forward, helped Mrs. Patty, and comforted, "Madame, do you need my help?" ”

"Thank you, Master Mage!" Mrs. Patty broke free of Carey and said to Chado,

"Lord Chardo, I see, Fairbers didn't have an accident before, but several years ago." Kairi's color was so blue that he almost left the scene in anger, but he was reluctant to bear the shiny gold coin, and he forcibly held back his displeasure, and he was now interested in Xia Duo.

And after hearing Pativ's explanation, Xia Duo still didn't understand how to push Ferbers out of his eyes for several accidents!

"Can Mrs. Patty be detailed, if you want to find the murderer, the more information you know, the easier it will be to know."

"I understand." Mrs. Patty wiped her tears, controlled her emotions, and said,

"Fairbers had a magic item in the shape of a cane, which he carried with him almost everything, but five years ago, when he came back from the Chamber of Commerce, his staff was missing, and he was stolen while he was inspecting the goods at the docks."

"And then?"

"And then two days ago, he suddenly had to go upstairs to attend to something, and then—" Mrs. Patty's eyes fell again.

But Xia Duo continued to ask,

"What does that cane have to do with these eyes?"

"At the end of that cane is a metal cylinder in the shape of an eye." It doesn't take much, Xia Duo understands, just now he pressed the opening mechanism with his hand, which is not difficult for him, but Fairbers is just an ordinary person, and he is still in his 50s, so it is difficult to have much strength.

And activating with a magic item may make an ordinary person feel more at ease.

"Ma'am, I need to check the stuff in the dark!" After verifying the Darkgrid, Mrs. Patty had trusted Xado's judgment about the cause of Fairbers' death, but she still let Carey go with her when it came to examining the Darkgrid.

"Feel free to check in, two adults, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions, I just want to know who killed my Fairbers for now." Carey doesn't know what's going on, but Mrs. Patty's needs for him are still clear from checking the cause of death to investigating the murderer, but if he doesn't check the cause of death, he won't get the gold coin, he is actually similar to Xia Duo, and he doesn't have much interest in finding the murderer.

"Mrs. Patty, do you really trust his judgment? I think it's still necessary to check it out. ”

"No, no need!" Mrs. Patty refused outright, she had already made up her mind,

"Fairbers may have had an accident five years ago, and there is not much need to worry about the cause of death two years ago, I want to find the murderer!" As if to see Carey's thoughts, Mrs. Patty again,

"Don't worry about the honorarium, as long as the adults investigate carefully, the honorarium will definitely satisfy you." The words have to be so straightforward, what else can Carey have, glanced at Xia Duo, and began to check the things in the dark grid, and Xia Duo has already obtained the mission voucher of at least 400 gold coins, and now he will earn more if he does more, he is not too much at all.

While the two were examining the compartment, Mrs. Patty ordered her servants to come in and carry Fairbers out, but the will, which stated that she had inherited all her property, was left untouched.

"Two adults, you can look through the things in the dark and the study at will, and there will be other people to help investigate later, please forgive me."

"Got it!" Xia Duo subconsciously glanced at Carey, and Carey also happened to look at him, and in his eyes, the two sides who were originally a little cold and even a little contradictory unified their opinions at once - this woman is crazy!

The old man is dead, he is still young, he doesn't want to get the family property first, but he wants to avenge the old man, is there really such an unforgettable love?

Xia Duo has never been in love, and he yearns for love, but he is more accepting of reality, if he is Pativ, the first thing is to collect the family property and the old man's son, and then whether he wants revenge or whatever, he can plan in detail, it is better than catching someone and letting him help investigate.

It's such a big fuss, aren't you afraid that the murderer will jump out and kill her too? However, Xia Duo was not Mrs. Patty after all, and he could not know the real thoughts of this woman, but he had no reason to refuse this kind of work that was almost a gift of money.

Maybe this trip will be able to complete the task indicators of promotion authority!
