The guards had all seen blood, and when they smelled it, all three of them turned pale.

'Bang! ’

The captain of the guard drew his sword and rushed into the cabin.

Rosen hurried in, and before he could enter the house, he heard the captain of the guard shout, "Oh, damn it! ”

Rosen looked over and saw the alchemist Stan lying on the table, with a dagger stuck deep in his heart, and there were several dishes on the table beside him.

Apparently, the other party was attacked while eating breakfast.

The sneak attacker is very good, because although the alchemist does not know any spells, he has mana, and the mage's hand is generally used very slippery, and ordinary people are not their opponents at all.

The corpse was still dripping blood, and the blood on the ground was not completely coagulated.

Rosen immediately said, "Uncle, the person just died." ”

As he spoke, a thought quickly flashed through his mind.

'Less than ten minutes after the man died, but there were no Assassin footprints in the courtyard, could it be that the Assassin flew in, or did he only have time to clean up the footprints that entered the door, but he didn't have time to get out?!' ’

At this thought, Rosen immediately shouted: "Uncle be careful, the assassin is likely to still be in the house!" ”

He was also on full alert, and looked around for traces left by the Assassins.

'Bang! Boom! ’

The two guards also raised their shields.

The three warriors and Rosen each stood in one position, back to back, their eyes all darting around the corner of the house.

The alchemist's wooden house is not big, it is single-storey, the internal structure is simple, the living room, bedroom, and kitchen are completely connected, and there is no partition in the middle.

The eyes of the three guards circled the house several times, not even the roof, but there was no sign of the assassin.

"It doesn't seem like there's anybody." The captain of the guard said in a deep voice.

"Maybe jumped out of the window....... Well, no, the rear window is too small to pass, and there is no point in jumping from the front window. One of the guards said quickly.

"Maybe this little guy guessed wrong, he's long gone." Another guard had a different opinion.

Rosen didn't speak, he was looking down at the floor.

There were muddy footprints on the floor, pools of blood, and blood droplets flying everywhere, and these messy marks didn't seem to reveal any valuable information, at least the three guards didn't notice.

But Rosen found out.

He lowered his voice and said, "Three uncles, look under the carpet!" ”

The mage's hand gently lifted the blanket from the floor, revealing faint footprints that stretched all the way into the room until a plank of wood suddenly vanished.

As you can imagine, the Assassin wanted to leave, but was blocked in the room due to Rosen's unexpected appearance, so he lifted the carpet and left, and when he reached the hiding place, he hid in and lowered the carpet to cover up his footprints.

The captain of the guard understood: "There is a secret room under the floor!" ”

He turned his head and gestured to the two guards behind him, then to the floor.

"Go check it and pry the floor open. Remember to be careful not to get attacked. ”

The two guards stepped forward lightly, carefully inserting their long swords into the gaps in the planks, and then prying them up vigorously at the same time.

"Bang!"

The plank was pried away, revealing a boxy hole that was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Lawson didn't dare to hold it up, he quickly stepped back, and did not stop until he reached the door.

The three guards were also obviously a little nervous, and did not dare to act rashly.

The captain of the guard looked left and right, and found a windproof oil lamp on the wall, so he went over and lit it, and then carried it with a wooden stick, and hung it near the entrance of the cave.

"Don't hide, come out!"

There was no response, and the flickering light slightly illuminated the chamber, revealing that it was a storeroom for storing supplies, and some wooden chests could be seen from the side, but there was no Assassin in sight.

The Assassins in the Chamber of Secrets have become trapped beasts, and whoever rushes up to them may be doomed.

Everyone spared their lives, and the guards naturally did the same, and the three of them only gathered around the entrance of the cave, but they did not dare to enter the secret room easily to check.

Naturally, Rosen didn't dare, the ghost knew how capable the assassin hidden inside was, and if he was a master, he would have died young.

But just because people don't dare to go doesn't mean others don't dare.

Rosen's mind turned, and he had an idea, so he leaned into the ear of the captain of the guard and whispered: "Uncle, why don't you go to a nearby house to borrow a few fierce hounds and throw them in?" ”

The captain's eyes lit up: "Aha, you have a good idea!" ”

He said to the subordinates beside him: "Why are you stunned, why don't you go quickly?!" ”

"Yes, Captain."

After a while, the soldier came with a man dressed as a butcher, who was carrying a piece of flesh and bone in his left hand and three large strong dogs in his right hand.

Behind the two of them, a group of patrol guards followed.

When they reached the door, the captain of the guard told the butcher the situation, and the butcher threw the meat and bones into the secret room, and the three big dogs pounced on him with a whin.

After a few seconds, there was a fierce barking of dogs in the cave, and a muffled grunt of people when they were injured.

After a while, the dog's howl was heard again, but then another terrible scream was heard.

You can imagine the severity of the fighting, and the Assassin must have been wounded.

can be bitten like this by a few hounds, his skills are obviously average, and he can kill alchemists, mainly taking advantage of sneak attacks.

Taking advantage of the battle between humans and dogs in the secret room, two guards rushed to the entrance of the cave with two 3-meter-long iron guns, and stabbed the cave continuously with the help of the light.

At this point, the big picture is decided.

It was only a matter of time before the Assassin was caught.

During this time, Rosen was not just watching the excitement, his brain was still running at high speed when the guards subdued the assassins.

"Alchemist Stan is a person with an identity, and directly killing his mouth will cause extremely bad effects, so he has always been alive."

"But as soon as I investigated Marbori's embalming, he was killed immediately. It shows that the alchemist has seen the face of the real murderer, and it also shows that someone is secretly monitoring my every move. ”

"This watcher is likely to be the one to blame."

"If I were this person, I would definitely not assassinate the alchemist myself, but would spend money to find a professional assassin, and then hide nearby and observe the follow-up myself, so as to make the next step of response."

"So, the Chamber Assassin can't really ask anything."

Thinking of this, Rosen suddenly saw a mirror on the table next to him.

With a slight movement in his heart, the mage's hand picked up the mirror.

Then I walked to the window facing the street, and stood behind the wooden wall on one side of the window, and borrowed a mirror to quietly observe the situation in the alley.

Because of the movement in the wooden house, many people have gathered outside the courtyard to watch the excitement.

Most of the people stood in the alley, and a small number stood in the house across the alley, or stood at the door, or stood at the window.

Rosen looked through the reflection of the mirror, one by one.

Looking at it, his gaze was fixed on the second-story window of a wooden building about 40 meters away.

The light in the window was dim, and the curtains were half open, revealing only a small gap.

"It's kind of weird."

Lawson immediately summoned the adventure log, and through the perspective of the log, he took a closer look.

Now I can see clearly, there is a pair of eyes in the gap.

In broad daylight, if there is excitement, you can watch it openly, why be so sneaky?

Unless he has a ghost in his heart!

But even so, Lawson did not rush to make a move, he continued to observe the surrounding situation, looking at the terrain in the area while looking for other suspicious visitors.

After a quick look, no second suspicious person was found.

In other words, the guy behind the curtain may be the murderer behind a series of murders in recent times, or at least an accomplice!

Lawson felt his heart beat a little faster, and with the help of a mage, he put the mirror back.

Then, he walked up to the captain of the guard: "Uncle, the assassin has already planted his wings, and I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

The captain of the guard thought about it carefully, and found that this matter really had nothing to do with the child, and it was better for him to go, so that he could monopolize the credit for capturing the murderer.

"Well, be careful on the road."

"I'll take notice."

Lawson left the cabin with a normal look on his face, walking down the alley in an ordinary way.

But in reality, he had been observing the second-floor windows through his adventure log, and soon discovered a subtle detail.

As soon as he walked out of the wooden house, the other party looked at him a few times, and when he was far away from the wooden house, the other party's gaze returned to the alchemist's wooden house.

After a moment's thought, Rosen understood.

"That guy doesn't know me, it's likely that he's just an accomplice of the assassins, not a real murderer!"

In this case, Lawson quietly followed the blind corner of the other party's line of sight and walked to the bottom of the wooden house.

After reaching the ground, the thought froze, and an iron ball flew out of his pocket, and with a 'whoosh', it flew into the second-floor window and rushed towards the position of the lower half of the target's body.

I thought about it before I started, and in case of accidental injury, it would be a big deal to lose money. If you guess correctly, you'll be earned.

'Poof~~Ah! ’

The sound of the iron bead entering the flesh and the cry of pain sounded almost at the same time, but the cry of pain was only half a sound before it was forcibly stopped.

Therefore, this small movement was not noticed by others.

But if you are a normal person, why should you suppress your screams?

This further confirms Rosen's guess.

'Whoosh! ’

Another iron bead flew out, still burrowing into the second-floor window, but this time only a 'bang' was heard, and it was the sound of hitting the plank.

The shot is empty, and the target shifts position.

As soon as Rosen's thoughts froze, the mana flowed, and his body levitated, directly to the window on the second floor, and at the same time, two iron beads flew around his body, and the resistance force field was ready.

'Whoosh! ’

The two iron balls rushed into the window first, but after they got in, they did not fly straight, but drew an arc, turned a corner, and flew to the walls on both sides of the window.

There were two "bangs", and the dust on the wall was everywhere, but it did not hit the flesh, indicating that there was no one in ambush behind the window.

Lawson then rushed into the room.

As soon as you get inside, you look around.

It was an empty uninhabited room, and although the home was fully furnished, the surface was covered in a thick layer of dust.

And on the floor near the window, a large amount of blood can be seen, and the footprints on the floor are also clearly visible, extending all the way to the door of the room.

One of the footprints on the ground is clear, and the other has obvious drag marks, indicating that the opponent was hit in the leg, but even if the opponent is so injured, he still has good athletic ability.

'He is a good player, and although he was injured by my sneak attack, he has not lost his ability to fight. The situation in the house is complicated, and if you are not careful, you will have to eat a horse pistol! ’

Investigation is investigation, and the mentor may also be secretly protecting, but there will always be omissions.

So you still can't be enthusiastic, otherwise no number of lives will be enough to spend.

Lawson thought for two seconds, several thoughts quickly swirled through his mind, and then he jumped out of the window again.

Unbeknownst to him, on the ceiling of the hallway behind the door, a dark figure held its breath, its body propped up like a gecko against the wall above the narrow hallway.

The Shadow's right leg trembled slightly from the pain, but his hand clutched a black-painted dagger.

When he heard the movement in the room, the black shadow suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his body also unloaded its strength, falling from the ceiling like a feather.

Behind the face mask was a pair of eyes full of horror.
