Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 170—Detective

At five in the morning, the Fox Manor was ablaze, and almost all the big men with white faces in Bailu City gathered here. The servants and maids who came and went in a hurry to entertain these, even when they were awakened in the sleep of those guests who arrived in the night, they could not conceal the expression of panic on their faces, because their master, this huge manor The owner, currently the only national member of the White Lucheng City, Sir Fox, along with his butler Waldorf, was murdered in the study...

The newly appointed Felidos general is no exception, he is standing in the study. The body of Sir Fox and the butler Waldorf remained the same, except that it was covered with white linen sheets. And the nephew of the naval base construction official who was brought to the bed from here was obviously not known how many times he repeated.

"I, let me say it again, I really didn't send someone to send an urgent document to Sir Fox! You can't think about it with a little brain. I am a navy. He is a member of the National Assembly. How can there be any urgent documents to discuss with him! There is no such thing as a sneak peek! In addition, none of my adjutants are Abraham’s lieutenant officers who have just been dispatched from the king’s capital. There is no one in my family who has two beautiful characters! This is a conspiracy. , a conspiracy against our naval base!"

Faced with the red ears and the stunned Viscount, the chieftain of Felidos was much more calm: "Please calm down a little, Viscount Venic, no one will doubt you. This is definitely a conspiracy, otherwise the murderer cannot impersonate the naval officer. Killing Sir Fox and his butler, it’s clear that you have a relationship with the Jazz and you want to blame you. This shows a problem. The murderer should be very clear about the naval base under construction. He is not an outsider, maybe Hiding in the naval base.

I still have a question. According to the open servant Bi De and the personal waitress Shelna who is waiting outside the study, the naval officer's uniform worn by the murderer is very fit and fit, and it is impossible to temporarily put it on. It is precisely because the murderer has a military temperament and aristocratic demeanor that this confuses them and leaves them without any suspicion. So the question is, where is his officer uniform? ”

The general manager of Felidos held his chin and meditated: "Our kingdom law has always prohibited civilian imitation military uniforms. The offenders have been working for more than five years. Therefore, folk tailors generally do not make military uniforms. Even if they receive a list, they will report to the patrol team. In order to avoid incidents involving them. Although the navy uniforms are roughly the same, there are still differences in details, especially the uniforms of officers.

Just now your lieutenant, Lieutenant Lucent, was identified by the servant and the maid. The uniform of his officer was exactly the same as that of the murderer. Obviously, if the murderer is not a person inside the naval base, he is the lover of the base, or he will not pay attention to the details of the military uniform. We should take a two-pronged approach, and you will immediately go back to the naval base to investigate, where were the lieutenants last night, and whether their uniforms were lost...

I am here to send people to investigate the tailoring shop and the cloth dealers. See if someone buys fabrics similar to the color of your military uniforms and makes your naval uniforms. As long as we find out, we may catch the clues of the murderer. After all, the murder of a member of the National Assembly is an appalling incident. In the kingdom, it is very likely that a storm will arise. You and I can't escape. You need to give the above account.

Just now I have sent people to use the eagle to send a letter to the kingdom to report this matter to His Majesty and the House. It is very likely that the special envoy of Wangdu will arrive here after three or four days. I hope that before this, it is best to find the murderer, or at least find useful clues to identify the suspect. In this way, we can be less involved in this incident. By the way, the servant who opened the door, you took it, you can identify on the spot whether it is a murderer..."

Viscount Weiniske had calmed down and listened to the words of the chief of the Felidos. He replied in a righteous manner: "I understand that I will go back and call all the lieutenant officers of the fleet to let the servant who opened the door face it."

At this time, two people in black robes and high-top hats in the study room stopped their actions and came to the front of the Felidos general manager. They shook their heads and said, "I am sorry, Felidos general manager. Adults, we can't detect the traces of magic here, so traceable spells and sorcerer spells can't be used. Obviously the murderer just killed the singer Fox and his butler. There are no signs of using spells here, which means the murderer is not The magician, the murder that took place here is not within the jurisdiction of our department, we will leave."

Looking at the two men drifting away, the Viscounts of Verris, who did not hear the words of the two men, asked very uncomfortably: "Who are they, saying that this murder is not within the jurisdiction of their department?"

The chief of the Feldos sighed a sigh of relief: "They are the heads of the branches of the special department of Wangdu. I really hope that they can find out, so that the murder of Sir Fox can be investigated. We don't have to worry about it. Unfortunately, this is just a simple murder. They are certainly happy to watch the fun..."

Viscount Venicus naturally understood what the special department that Felidos said was referring to him. He was the person in charge of the branch office here, and he did not speak. After a moment of silence, I looked at the two bodies covered by sheets in the study room. I turned and prepared to leave, but the chief of Felixos stopped him.

"Let's wait, Joseph's detective is coming. Let's take a look at his on-site autopsy report. He has been a criminal detective in Wang Duo for more than 20 years. There are many murders in the case. The seven corpses of the underground drainage channel of Wangdu Kaixuan Bridge are He was also uncovered. He is also a native of the southwestern Dorsas County. This time he was retired and ready to return to his hometown to support the elderly. It happened to pass through Bailucheng. I was left to help set up the patrol police criminal section and train those rookies. I received this. The news immediately informed him that he had taken the test of the body and conducted a preliminary investigation. We looked at what he said, and he would let him go to the naval base with you, and he was more experienced in dealing with suspects hidden in the dark... ”

Detective Joseph is a bald old man who is fatter. It’s just that face that looks like a bitter face, and it seems to be slow to talk, but it’s sharp and rarely talk nonsense.

"The murderer is about twenty-five and five years old. His hair is dark gold, and the character is Hu. It is suspected that he has been dressed up. The man is about one meter eight, and the bronze skin is like a sailor and a crew. He is very energetic, proficient in fighting skills, and timid. After murdering Sir Fox and his butler, he can go out and chat with the maid Shelna, without any urgency to leave. It can be seen that he has a rich assassination experience, or can be considered a murderer is a professional killer, assassin It is very likely that the murder of Sir Fox is to accept the employment of others..."

Joseph’s detective hesitated, and continued to say a little confused: “There is still an uncertainty in his eyes. The servant of the gatekeeper Bied said it was yellowish brown, while the maid Sheerna said that it was a pair of charming blue eyes. And after listening to what the other person said, they were not sure whether they saw it or not. In the end, they all admitted that they didn't really see it clearly."

"I have a question." Viscount Venicsk said: "Joseph Detective, how did you conclude that the murderer is skilled in fighting skills and has great strength?"

The detective Joseph pointed to the two bodies: "They told me to see where they died and the cause of death is known. Obviously, if the housekeeper appears in the same room when the host meets, he must be Waiting for the owner to call, but he died at the desk, which is clearly the murderer's deliberate action, so that he can quickly subdue the desk after the killing of the housekeeper, Sir Fox, so that it can not summon or alarm other Servant, such as the waitress Shelna standing outside the study door."

Joseph’s detective immediately followed the place where Claude stood: “Reminiscent of the so-called urgent document, the murderer should be standing here, picking up the documents and handing them to the jazz. This distance is very embarrassing for the jazz because he wants If you pick up, you have to get up, bend over and lean forward to get it, as if you are paying tribute to the murderer. So I think the jazz can only choose to summon the butler standing by the door, take the document and put it in front of him. .

This gave the murderer an opportunity to attack the Jazz at the same time as the uniform housekeeper. Otherwise, his attack on the Jazz will alert the butler behind the door, and the attacker will attack the butler and the Jazz will not hesitate to pull the bell line behind the wall. Unfortunately, the murderer’s plot was realized, and the butler and the jazz suffered bad luck...”

"As for the murderer's mastery of fighting skills and strength, the reason is very simple." Joseph Detective gently smiled: "Because both Mr. Fox and his butler died of a broken neck, in fact, the neck of the person seems to be simple, Actually not. If you don't have much strength, you can't break a person's neck in an instant. Any fighter knows this common sense. Breaking a person's neck requires more skill and more strength than breaking a person's arm... ..."

The chief of the Felidos gently slammed two palms: "You are very precise, Joseph Detective. Then you have to go to the naval base with Viscount Wiensk, we need to find the suspect or the murderer as soon as possible. In order to prepare a perfect answer for them before the special envoy of Wangdu."

Joseph Detective nodded. "I understand."

Lieutenant Nuit woke up in the scream of his little wild cat Miss Minellis. He reached out to take his little wild cat and whispered in his mouth: "Call so loud. Why are we sleeping, coming, helping me blow..."

His little wild cat pulled the thin sheet of paper to cover his body: "Nu Nuyt, there. Someone came in..."

"Who, who dares to privately house..." Lieutenant Nuit finally woke up, when he discovered that his room was crowded, four or five Marines, his own colleague Horic Captain, Lieutenant Bide, Lieutenant Louis, and a bald old man. At the moment they are watching the bed and the little wild cats around them.

"How is it going?" Lieutenant Nuit panicked. What do you want to do with such a big scene? I don’t seem to make any mistakes...

"Have you been here last night?" asked the balding old man.

"You, who are you, shut you down!" Lieutenant Nuit was very annoyed, and this would make him naked, and the sheet was pulled over by the little wild cat next to cover her, and Lieutenant Nuit was on his body. It was so irritating to be exposed to so many people.

"Lieutenant Nuit, answering his question." Captain Horic next to him sullenly sullenly.

"Yes, I am here, never left." Lieutenant Nuit had to pull the pillow over to cover his lower body.

At this time, the bald old man had already seen the crumpled uniform of the officer on the ground. He used to pick up one piece and found that there was still a smear on the uniform that was not the dish juice or the bad wine, and the dust on the ground. Defiled, it seems to have been dry for a long time.

The bald-headed old man raised his chin, and the second lieutenant Louis brought two people from the outside, a man and a woman. The man was like a servant, and the woman was like a maid. The figure was very hot. They first looked at Lieutenant Nuit and shook his head and said, "Not him."

Then he carefully looked at the uniform of the officer who was held by the bald-headed old man. He also shook his head and said that it was not this set. The set of clean pens was quite clean. The set of wrinkles also had alcohol, and they distinguished them.

The bald-headed old man frowned, and the officer's uniform in his hand was taken to Nuyt's body. Lieutenant Lieutenant, who was in a hurry, hurriedly put his clothes on his body.

"You were drunk last night, what time did you sleep?" asked the balding old man.

"This, when I sleep, I forgot. Anyway, it was very late. It was too late for me to come with her three times or four times. Later, I heard that the chicken was called to sleep, so I woke up so late, you come in. I don't know..." No man will admit that he is not strong in men and women, and Lieutenant Nuit is no exception. He had already forgotten the drunkenness of last night, or he boasted according to the previous habits, and perfectly turned the idea of ​​the bald-headed old man.
