Chapter 55: Interrogation

"Dead?"

Hearing Thor's description of the returnee, Kate was surprised and stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.

"Drowned in a basin of water? Is...... There are any ways to die. ”

Thor was still leaning back on the single bed, still holding the book he had held before leaving.

But instead of reading a book, he looked at the air in front of him, revealing a touch of confusion.

He seemed to be explaining to Kate, and it was as if he was sorting out his thoughts.

"I checked the white porcelain kitten, there is no magic on the outside or inside, and the overall construction material is the most ordinary clay and the most ordinary pigment, and it is not a witchcraft material."

"That could also be murder." Kate said, "This man is deceiving people everywhere, and he may have made a lot of enemies." ”

Thor tapped his chin lightly with the spine, "I checked his luggage, which contained large bills. But no one had touched his luggage, so it was probably not for money or revenge for being cheated out of money. ”

Kate didn't care if a liar lived or died. But he suddenly discovers that Thor is investigating seriously.

Seems to be concerned about the cause of the liar's death.

Kate propped up her upper body and listened to Thor with her ears pricked up.

"I also examined his soul and wanted to find out the cause of his death by probing his consciousness." Thor paused with his chin on the spine, "But his soul is gone." ”

"Meow?"

"His soul is completely gone, clean, like a bowl that you have licked."

“…… It's good if you're happy. ”

Thor chuckled softly and fell back on the bed, holding the book to his face, looking like he was going to sleep.

"Anyway, this trip won't be boring."

When Kate saw Thor lying down, he curled up in his chair again, closing his eyes.

"Anyway...... It's good if you're happy. ”

A third-order boss is on the airboat, even if something happens, it will be like watching a drama for others.

He's a cat, what's there to worry about?

Early the next morning, Kate understood why Saul said the trip wouldn't be boring.

Because the door to their room was violently banged early in the morning.

"Mr. Saul! Mr. Saul! Are you in there? ”

Thor slowly opened his eyes.

He only slept for an hour last night and spent the rest of the time meditating.

The reason why I can't get up yet is because normal people should be very sleepy at this time and will not wake up immediately to open the door.

Kate had already woken up, and he ignored the louder and louder knocks at the door, stretched his waist like a cat, and then turned his head to look at the scenery outside the small round window.

Just as Thor thought it was almost time to pass, the door to the room suddenly opened silently.

At the same time, a faint wave of magic power spread in along the small eye of the door lock.

"Huh? Is the door open? Quite skilled. ”

Thor sat up, the book on his face falling to his lap, "Is there something wrong?" ”

His face was expressionless, as if he hadn't woken up.

"Why don't you open my door without my permission?"

His gaze swept over the three or four people outside the door, and finally landed on the middle-aged man standing against the left door frame.

That man should be a wizard apprentice, seeing that the mental power fluctuation has reached the third level, there is no need to worry about the alienation of the thirty-year-old apprentice.

The other party had a gloomy face, and looked more like someone who had been woken up early in the morning than Saul.

Thor asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The squire who had guided Thor was the first to speak.

"Mr. Saul, there's an accident with a guest on the airboat. We'd like to hear from you. ”

"Huh?" Thor showed a hint of surprise, then pointed at himself with his finger, "Me? ”

Five minutes later, Thor was taken alone to an empty room on the upper floor.

The room was clean, with only a whole wall of cabinets, a long table, and two chairs.

Everyone else left, leaving only the gloomy man.

He asked Thor to sit down, and he sat down across from Thor himself.

"My name is Paul, and I'll ask you a few questions. You don't try to lie. ”

The third-level wizard apprentice named Paul set up a candle on the empty table, and when he tapped the candle with his fingertips, the candle burned with a "bang".

Saul looked at the candle steadily, and did not look back at Paul until Paul had pulled out his chair and sat down.

"You're bold, but it's okay, as long as you tell the truth, I won't embarrass you." Paul leaned back in his chair, seemingly unconcerned about interrogating Thor.

"You're a wizard apprentice?"

"All you have to do is answer my question." Paul said in a low and tough voice, "What is your relationship with Mike the businessman?" ”

Sure enough, Mike's death was discovered by them.

It's so efficient.

The other party died in the bedroom at night, and they found out early in the morning.

Do they check the vital signs of passengers every day?

"Mike and I only met after a few words in line together before boarding." Thor said truthfully, "Could it be that something happened to Mike?" ”

Still, Paul did not answer Saul's question, but asked again: "You were seen seeing you in his room again after dinner. It's just people who are standing in line together, why should they meet after dinner? ”

Thorton shifted and sat up straighter.

Paul, on the other side, saw Thor's reaction and immediately narrowed his eyes.

Thor's gaze wandered for a moment, and he suddenly took a breath, "Well, actually, I think it's quite incredible when I think about it now. If I'm telling the truth, I'm afraid you'll think I'm still lying. ”

Paul glanced at the candle and said like a dead man, "You don't have to worry about this. As long as you don't lie, I can guarantee that innocent people won't be implicated. ”

Thor suddenly felt a little funny, this Paul actually assured ordinary people.

Is this guaranteed to be lip service, or is it sincere?

"Okay."

Next, Saul informs Paul of the conversation he and Mike had had in the room.

Of course, when he threw the dice, he just said that he was good at it, and did not say the specific reason for his good at.

Paul is clearly not interested in Saul's past, and he seems to be relying on the candle on the table to confirm that Saul is telling the truth.

But after he heard Mike take out a white porcelain kitten, his body, which had been leaning on the bench, suddenly sat up straight.

"White porcelain kitten?" He stared at Thor tightly, "What color are the kitten's eyes?" ”

"Red."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, that white porcelain kitten is white all over, only the eyes are red, so I remember it very well."

Paul seemed a little restless.

This made Thor more and more interested, "Wizard, have you also heard of 'The Cat's Kindness'?" Can that white porcelain kitten really bring luck to people? ”

But Paul still didn't answer him, but asked Saul one last question.

"Was Mike still alive when you left the room?"

"Alive...... Are you saying he's dead now? ”

Paul stood up, "You can go." ”

Thor opened his mouth and quickly closed it again, "Okay." ”

He got up and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, there were still a few attendants who had just followed them.

They watched Thor come out unharmed, and seemed surprised, and looked at Paul in the room.

Paul gestured, and the people got out of the way.

Thor glanced inside the room, where the only apprentice wizard was frowning, thinking about something.
