Chapter 176 The broken house tracked

Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the civilians also realized that there was something hidden behind this incident. They suddenly became silent and did not dare to speak. However, they were reluctant to let go of the melon in front of them. They tried their best to reduce their sense of existence and spoke without blinking.

Watch where this goes.

Crowe breathed heavily and tried hard to think of a way to break the situation. He didn't know where Safi found out his identity, but he knew that once he admitted what Safi said, he would be finished.

Of course, Safi would not let him go just like that, and immediately became aggressive: "You actually killed Oak, right? Who asked you to do it, and what was your purpose?"

Crowe put on a face of "I haven't done it, but you have the power and you are right, what can I do?" Such a negative look makes it difficult to guess who is telling the truth and who is telling the truth.

is fake.

Safi looked at Crowe, and suddenly chuckled, as clear and beautiful as ice and snow melting: "Don't you think that I can't do anything to you if you bite me to death and refuse to admit it?"

Crowe didn't know what Safi meant, and his heart tightened instinctively.

Although he knows magic, he only has a superficial understanding of it. Compared with the nobles who have practiced magic since childhood, his understanding of magic is obviously only superficial.

"When Oak dies, magic waves will be left at the scene. You can use a magic measuring instrument to record this magic wave." Safi turned to Felissa and ordered, "Go and get the magic measuring instrument."

Felicia nodded: "Yes, I know."

Felissa turned around and left, and not long after she was followed by several strong attendants. They jointly carried a strange-shaped instrument, carefully put it down, and then left with their heads lowered.

No one had ever seen this instrument before, and no one knew how to use it. Felissa fiddled with it for a while, and the instrument dial began to rotate. After one revolution, the pointer trembled, then slowly stopped and pointed to a scale.

Then Felissa said half-seriously: "Everyone saw it, this is the magic wave recorded at the crime scene. Now let me test it."

Felissa put her hand in a groove, and the pointer immediately started to rotate again, this time twice, and finally pointed to a completely different scale.

Then she took back her hand, smiled at Crowe and said, "Sir, it's your turn,"

Cold sweat broke out on Crow's head, and he gritted his teeth: "I don't know magic."

Felicia smiled: "That would be even better. If someone without magic puts his hand on it, the pointer will not move at all."

Crowe had never seen this instrument, and he didn't know whether it was really effective, but he didn't dare to gamble.

At this time, it was not convenient for Safi and Fred to talk, so Felissa naturally continued to preside over the scene. Felissa sneered: "Is it because you feel guilty that you don't want to do it? Give me his hand."

.”

Suddenly, a knight in armor stepped forward, held Crow down, and forced his hand into the groove.

The pointer quickly turned around again and pointed to the first scale, exactly.

Now the evidence was conclusive and no one dared to say that Crowe was innocent. Fred coldly ordered: "Take the person away."

Crow shouted that this was an injustice and that this was a trap deliberately set by the nobles.

Felissa didn't know whether he was wronged or not, but this was indeed a trap prepared by them.

We also have to blame Crowe for being a standout and not being arrested and properly interrogated. How could he be worthy of the big show they put on?

This so-called "magic measuring instrument" is a failure made by scholars who study magic in an academy. It has no effect at all. As long as the operator moves his hands and feet casually, the value can be manipulated.

The farce was resolved. Fred and Safi fell down from the ice platform and walked into the palace door first. Felissa followed closely. As for the civilians blocking the door, they were left to the knights to evacuate.

.

Once this end is solved, there is another end.

Dead Gray.

Gray's body has been placed under guard and no one is allowed to get close to it. Ulysses did not show up here because he went to check on Gray's matter.

He first followed the horse's hoof prints to check, and in the process of checking, he met Nancy.

In fact, he hadn't seen Nancy for a long time. After all, what he had to do had to be avoided, and his preparations would be useless if others knew about them.

"Why are you here?" He jumped off the horse and walked towards Nancy.

Nancy kicked the dirt on the ground and turned to look at him: "Are you coming? I guessed you would come."

Therefore, Nancy is waiting for him here specifically.

Thinking of this, his mood instantly improved. He stood still in front of Nancy, pulled a piece of grass out of her mouth, and said helplessly: "Don't put things in your mouth casually."

Nancy shrugged and pointed to the land in front of her: "The trace ends here."

The horse's hoof prints disappeared here, as if a horse appeared out of thin air, but how could this be possible, so someone must have cleaned up the traces.

Ulysses brought some good tracking experts, and now it was their turn to appear. He took Nancy aside and continued to look for some other clues.

Nancy followed him and asked: "What do you think those people were doing by sending Gray's body here?"

"It's unclear," Ulysses said. "There was nothing wrong with Gray's body, but the cause of his death was that someone had stabbed his heart with a throwing knife."

This is so strange. Is it necessary for those people to go all the way to send Gray's body to them in order to warn them? But they have obviously arranged for Crowe to be an internal agent in the royal city, trying to find a way to undermine Fred's influence among the civilians.

What's the point of sending another Gray here if we don't have the reputation here.

Can't figure it out.

So Ulysses doesn't think about it for the time being. When he is caught, he will know everything after asking.

"Your Excellency Ulysses," the people he brought quickly found some traces and came over to report to him, "Although their methods were clever, they still left traces because of the hasty retreat."

This is another point of doubt. Since the retreat was in a hurry, it means that they are not completely sure. It is more like the incident happened suddenly.

Ulysses put away his thoughts: "Continue to pursue it."

The pursuer led the way, while Ulysses and Nancy followed, and finally caught up to a broken house in the wilderness.

Seeing Nancy looking at the shabby house, Ulysses explained to her: "This shabby house was built by some traders to take shelter from the rain or rest when they were on their way."

When you walk into the broken house, you can see obvious signs of a fight.

"Someone was here two days ago." The person who was tracking quickly determined based on the traces. "There should be only one person. Then someone caught up with him, so they started fighting, but the first person still escaped."
