Chapter 226, Anger
Monroe led the way, and Ouyang Dao followed leisurely. After a while, Dennis, the man who had stayed behind to comfort the wounded, walked to the back. He followed Ouyang Dao firmly, his expression flat.
"Everyone here has a reason to do that. What about yours?" Ouyang Dao glanced at Dennis "I'm doing this for Fiona, just like everyone else" Like you, just like everyone else? Don't be stupid" Dennis smiled, as if he was glad that Monroe had found his way, Ouyang Dao looked at him suspiciously, very interested in Dennis intentions.
They had been in contact for a long time, but Dennis had never been nice to him, and although they had been talking for about half an hour, they had spoken less than four words. Now you suddenly want to talk to me, is that so? Ouyang Dao was curious, but he didn't seem to mind. Judging by his previous actions, Dennis was not the target of their group.
This has nothing to do with him, and Ouyang Dao is not interested in cooperating with him. What is your purpose in this department Ouyang Dao turned his gaze to Dennis and made no secret of his actions. Ouyang Dao's gesture startled Dennis. They talk softly at the end of the line, looking forward as they go, and if they don't listen, no one will notice them. At this time, Ouyang Dao stared at him directly, and after glancing at the others, he knew that something was wrong with them. There's a reason Dennis joined the team. He didn't want to reveal his identity.
"I'm sorry, Sir Gaia, if anything offends you, please forgive me," Dennis said, still running at a normal pace, his eyes fixed on the man in front of him, even though he had already apologized to Ouyang.
"Well, I'm not interested in fighting with you either," Dennis said cautiously, presumably as a pawn, in a greater power, who did not communicate verbally.
"I don't care what your purpose is today, Fiona, I have to take it with me, if you have a conflicting purpose with me, you'd better do it now," Ouyang Dao said, looking up and down at Dennis, head, throat, heart, limbs, and everything, for a few seconds. "Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to get back on your feet today," Dennis said, shuddering at the sight of Ouyang Dao's aggressive gaze. Until now, he has paid more attention to Ouyang Dao. Gaia, the new president of the armed forces, has the ability to tear me to shreds.
Dennis's heart sank, "Don't be so hostile, President Gaia," he said with a wry smile.
"No matter what happens, I won't resist" "If you don't fight, doesn't it mean that there are others?"
Ouyang Dao looked straight ahead and said coldly: "I hope they don't leave me with the wrong impression, otherwise I have to say I'm sorry" Dennis frowned, a little unhappy with Ouyang Dao's attitude, but he suppressed this feeling for the sake of his mission. "You can rest assured that in a sense, we are on the same side as the other three"
"I hope so"
As they made their way through the bustling capital, Ouyang Dao said, they regained their silence again, where the streets were sprinkled with flower petals and the air was filled with the scent of mixed flowers. Watson walked ahead, scratching his nose from time to time. He seems to be a bit allergic. As they ran, Monroe, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. Watson and Fiona looked at him in surprise, but Monroe's face was blurred. "Why don't you continue? Watson asked anxiously, looking at Monroe's revolver. When he introduced the revolver, Watson withheld some less important information.
For example, a revolver's bullet does not have to be a one-way shot. If you dare to use it, all six bullets can be fired, and no new bullets can be injected into it until the bullet is fired. Watson now fears that the effect of the first bullet has passed, and that Monroe will fire the second one anyway. There is at least a 50% chance of firing elite bullets, and now that the bullets are out of bullets, Munro has a 50% chance of firing lethal bullets.
"No, the inspiration is still there," Monroe said, referring to his own thoughts, "but it tells me something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Fiona strode in and looked around. "Is the murderer nearby?" No," Monroe pulled a map from his bosom and stared at the lines. Watson was relieved to see that Monroe did not reach for his revolver, but he quickly questioned Monroe's actions. Essence bullets can only last so long. Why stop here?
Looking at the map for a while, Munro was confused and relayed his findings: "My brain told me to go upstream along the river, but it didn't fit our trajectory" What Watson and Fiona looked at the map in surprise, the Violet King was an onion-shaped city, and the whole palace was the center of the outer ring.
After the capital was built, a tributary was drawn from the nearby river, and it flowed north from the city, south through the capital, and back to the river. As previously suspected, the murderer's route was to walk in a circle around the outside of the capital, and their location was exactly north of the capital.
If Monroe's brain tells him to do so, the killer suddenly changes course and enters the center of the capital.
"That doesn't make sense," Fiona said, frowning.
"The further you go inward, the more heavily guarded the capital becomes, and the more likely you are to encounter a large group of nobles, much more dangerous than the periphery". She longs to see women have their own happiness, and she longs to see lovers make eternal vows to each other. Now the killers have not only harmed these women, but also those partners who are willing to take responsibility for them, so to speak, entirely because of Fiona's disgust.
"They may have been called on an urgent mission," Ouyang said, leaning over his shoulder.
"In the last attack, they cast a release spell to hide themselves, most likely in public office"
"If that's the case, there's no chance to attack again" Fiona roared like a lioness, "We hand over the investigation to the guild, and the team can be disbanded," Ouyang Dao glanced at her suspiciously, surprised by this shrewd woman's gaffe.
And just like that, Fiona looked at Monroe.
"The inspiration in your mind keeps telling you to go upstream, and there is no sign of crossing the river?" Mr. Munro nodded, "I'm sure"
"Then ignore our previous speculation. Monroe, you continue to lead the way, let's go upstream" Fiona's eyes flashed, and a fiery breath erupted from his body.
"People make mistakes, but power doesn't. I make them pay, whoever they are"
Monroe led the way, Fiona followed, Ouyang Dao smiled at the end of the team, and walked with Dennis. "Did your people do it?" Dennis smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "We don't have that kind of strength yet," Ouyang Dao said meaningfully, "That revolver is a very high-grade miracle, much more powerful than it looks, but Dennis's expression hasn't changed."
"It just takes a lot of preparation" Ouyang Dao shut up, becoming more and more interested in what happened today, the murderer of his lover, Fiona who worked hard, and the detective duo who suddenly appeared, it was not like a coincidence. What is the purpose of all this?Ouyang Dao looked at Fiona and the others, wondering what they were worth planning.
After all, Ouyang Dao's appearance was not part of their plan, and Dennis' men might be among the many suitors, but even so, Dennis looked confident of winning the match. Ouyang Dao smiled. In fact, a little too worried, no matter what the other party does, as long as he does it, the end result will go in the direction he expected. Ouyang Dao was silent, but Dennis was active.
Gaia's appearance was indeed unexpected, and his power was so great that it could have unpredictable consequences. Dennis is worried about Ouyang Dao, her purpose is obviously Fiona, and she may intervene to force the matter to end. It's unclear how long this spell will last, and if it is stopped by Gaia, it will be bad. At this time, Dennis quietly clenched his fingers, feeling the heart-shaped miracle in his hand, and Dennis breathed a sigh of relief. He can use it again if needed.
The closer we got to the capital, the noisier the streets became, and the running squad of five attracted a lot of attention, but most of them were so immersed in the festive atmosphere that they turned a blind eye to Ouyang Dao and the others. Both Fiona and Munro looked dazed and overwhelmed. Ouyang Dao looked at them suspiciously, and Dennis shook his hand nervously. Monroe shook his head, wanting to say something, but Fiona was already in front of him.
"How did it stop! We have to keep tracking!" Mr. Munro said, pointing to his head. "I feel like they were here a few minutes ago, but no further information"
They all looked around and didn't see the expected team, and whatever the attackers had done inside the king, at least no clues were found here. Ouyang Dao looked around, but he didn't see the protruding finger hole where a gangster on the street waved his right hand three times and stopped.
This was an agreement between Ouyang Dao and the Dragonblood Clan, and the Dragonblood Clan would spread out on a large scale on every street in the capital, at least to ensure that any disturbances were detected in time. The gang in charge of the area has now waved its hand three times with its right hand, indicating that there has been no disturbance in the area. So they didn't change the direction of their attack, but managed to enter the capital? Ouyang Dao looked at his neighbors.
Florists, small restaurants, several alchemical pharmacies, a row of apartments, a small shop with a fortune teller, nothing noteworthy, not far away there is a small square where many lovers express their love. If the attackers did change course, he would have wanted to kill them, but if he didn't, he didn't come here of his own free will.
Watson let out a loud sneeze, and Mr. Munro touched his nose. The two men looked around, then quietly left the north. Ouyang Dao looked in that direction and saw a gray fence with a net-like protective net on it, which was estimated to be a breeding ground for flying creatures.
In some ways, the development of supernatural energy has brought great convenience, as has the breeding of animals. In the Violet Kingdom, and even in the whole world, there is no shortage of meat. Ouyang Dao didn't know very well, but it seemed that there was a spell that could speed up reproduction, breed extremely high-quality varieties, and greatly accelerate growth. Ouyang Dao approached the fence and heard the birds chirping inside, Ouyang Dao cast a reconnaissance spell and saw the active life force inside.
A bird is only close to the height of a child, pacing in it, according to the life energy estimate, a meat pigeon can meet the needs of a family of three for a day. Just as Ouyang Dao was about to leave, he was startled by the spy spell he saw. In Spell Vision, the spell grid that restricts the bird's movement is yellow and appears to be a combination of fire and light.
The energy of life appears green and roughly describes the size of the organism. However, in the spelling vision, Ouyang Dao clearly saw a large green bird jumping out of the yellow grid and jumping on it. Keep in mind that most farm spell networks are internal and external, preventing internal creatures from coming out on the one hand, and other birds from disrupting the network on the other.
However, the escaped creature is now standing on a grid, bouncing around, without triggering any punishment spells. Ouyang Dao frowned, and when he was about to make a move, Dennis shouted in the distance.
"What do you see on the wall over there? It seems that the meat on the farm is almost finished, and several people looked at it suspiciously, and by this time Dennis had already jumped over the fence and stood on the net of unresponsive spells, and he shouted to the crowd, you see, the defenses here have failed, and there is a huge gap in the fence, as if something rushed in and when they climbed up the wall, Mr. Munro looked closely for a while, and was surprised.
"There's a finger hole here," Munro said. "Another person has been here before, and this may be the destination" Watson on the other side also raised his hand, and he also found a similar finger hole as before. Dennis opened his mouth, revealing the traces he had found.
Fiona frowned, carefully observing the spell's lattice and where the others had found the mark, then looked at the apparently empty interior of the farm. A few people walked around the farm a few times and found that the boss and employees should be on vacation, and the door to the control room had been sealed, leaving only one hole in the entire farm to leave.
Back on the street, the effect of the bullet had completely worn off, and Monroe stood against the wall, slowly adjusting to his suddenly dull mind.
"What do we do now? When we get here, the trail is broken, and it's been a long time since we heard from them, they may have stopped," Watson said, hugging Monroe and looking at Fiona.
"At this point, Monroe wasn't feeling well either, so we left"
"No, there's no need to scout," Fiona said, his voice cold, obviously muffled.
"I already know the identity of the criminal"
