Lord of Secrets

Horus crumpled the newspaper into a ball and put it in the trash can before leaving.

Obviously, those nobles had no intention of pursuing the person behind the scenes. Of course, this does not mean that they have ignored it, but that they have chosen this side first among the existing interests.

As for the murderer behind the scenes, Forner can only take the blame for the time being.

However, Forner cannot be regarded as taking the blame. After all, he killed most of the people. As an executioner, this cannot be rectified.

Horus didn't get much information from the newspapers, but he could also feel that Xi Song was a little uneasy.

The nobles were not without action.

Horus carefully bypassed the denser streets and arrived not far from the train station.

Horus, who lacked information, stood in the shadows, trying his best to conceal his existence, and then quietly observed the train station.

After more than ten minutes, Horus left here.

There are already police checking the train station, but it seems to be of no use.

Horus could feel that they were just perfunctory and checking the information. After all, they might not really know the murderer.

Horus felt that the ones he should face might be those extraordinary beings, or other nobles who would rather the messenger leave. This was not impossible.

Suddenly, a figure appeared not far from Horus. Horus, who was in the darkness, could easily spot the other person's appearance.

With just a thought, Horus found the identity of the other party in his mind: the passerby who claimed to be a detective and deliberately appeared in front of Finleg to provoke him after he left.

But what is the other party doing here...

Horus was a little confused. His intuition told him that the other party might not just appear here, but might even come here for him.

"This gentleman..."

The man approached Horus, first greeted him, and then his nose twitched slightly.

"The smell is thick and earthy, mixed with a bit of rancid smell. Sir, you seem to have just come from a dead man's residence."

Horus squinted his eyes and looked at the other person. His heart beat slowly and he didn't make a sound. He was just wary of the other person.

The other party continued: "There are some fine soil fragments on the nail of your index finger, and there is basically no residue elsewhere. It is probably not that you dug up someone's grave, but more like it was left behind by slightly grabbing some soil clods with your hand."

"Looking at your skin, there are some wrinkles, but you are taller and your bones don't look too fragile. You don't look like an old man, so you should bend your knees and completely tuck your palms under the cuffs."

"As for when I said this, you didn't have any reaction, such as retracting your hand. People who need to hide usually react subconsciously when they are exposed. But you didn't, so you should not be an ordinary person. ”

The man held his staff in one hand and looked at Horus.

"And this gentleman, if you get younger, he would fit in well with a certain man I met on the road before, and I happened to be particularly impressed by him."

The man's tone became mysterious:

"And everything, if established, points to the 'Gravekeeper'. No, the 'Gravekeeper' can't completely offset the side effects of that appearance at will, so you should be a little taller than I estimated...for example' Psychic', and that cord around your neck should be the crystal necklace."

Horus took a slight step with his right foot, and then sank downwards.

"Another point is that you don't have the fragrance of herbs on your body, so you may have just become a 'psychic', or you have not even been exposed to relevant knowledge."

Seeing that the other party was getting more and more vigilant, the man suddenly smiled, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Let me meet you. My name is Byercro, and I am a detective."

Horus stared at the other person, then stretched out his right hand that had returned to whiteness, and said in a low voice: "My name is Horus. As you can see, I am a 'psychic'."

Immediately, Horus said bluntly: "What do you want from me?"

Now, Horus didn't quite believe that the other party just met him by chance.

Belcro did not answer directly, but said: "I investigated the information about you. Not long after you came to Xisong, you worked in Maria's Tavern, and then you were inexplicably involved in the 'Red Wine Disaster'."

The "Red Wine Disaster" was the bloody massacre at Forner's birthday party. Xi Song is most famous for red wine, which symbolizes blood. At the same time, the death of nobles will also cause problems in the red wine trade.

Therefore, mainstream newspapers unanimously named this disaster case - the red wine disaster.

"How did you know I was here?" Horus asked.

"It's just a simple guess. As the most likely person to be identified as the murderer, you are most likely to leave Xi Song, so you may conduct observations next to the train station. And night is the best time for the 'Gravekeeper' to appear. "Bilcro said casually.

Horus frowned when he heard this. If the other party knew about it, then maybe it would not be difficult for the noble relatives to guess this.

】

The reason why he took the risk to come to the train station was because he had great trust in his "grave guard".

Byrklo looked at the other party and suddenly taunted: "Don't worry, the nobles who did not attend the banquet are busy dividing their rights. They can't spare any time to deal with you, at least they won't do anything in a short time. "

After a pause, Byrklo continued: "As for the relatives of the deceased nobles, most of them may be receiving the inheritance, and then fighting for the inheritance with other brothers and sisters, and at the same time facing the encroachment of other nobles."

"It's hard to say that some people are especially grateful to you."

Finally, Byrklo said with a smile: "So, even if someone wants to kill you, they are still powerless and unintentional. However, there is a woman you need to be wary of most. That is the daughter of Forner, the wife of the soon-to-be deceased Lord of Ganar City. , Bidola Embili.”

Bidora... Horus remembered this name, but he was ready to leave here. As long as he left Xi Song, Yuri was so old that it would be difficult for Bidora to find him.

Pulling up his hood, Horus suddenly asked: "Do you know that woman?"

Obviously, the appearance of Byrkroth made Horus aware that something was wrong. Originally, he should have rejected Finleg's request last time.

After all, Horus planned to cause trouble at Forna's birthday party, so he should stay away from others and try to keep a low profile instead of accepting invitations from others casually.

Then the woman who is most likely to lead all of this is that woman.

Byrklo took off his hat, then put it back on, and replied: "Of course I know it, she is a witch named Daqasi. If she wants to deal with you, you will only die. Let me tell you a news, She is still in Xi Song and seems to be preparing for a big wave."

Byrklo knew that "Dagas" was just a pseudonym, and he didn't mind telling the other person.

Moreover, Byrklo is very aware of the "gravekeepers" approach. They will not spread these things casually, there is no need.

As for Balkro's promise not to interfere with Sikada's actions, Balkro did not break it. He just told Horus some information about the other party.

As for doing so, it's up to Horus himself.

Horus lowered his head, a glimmer of light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

He didn't have much favorable impressions of the person "Dagasi" whom Byrklo called, after all, he was like a puppet being led by the other party.

Moreover, Dagasi also committed such a big murder, which Horus couldn't accept.

After a moment, Horus whispered: "You want to use me to deal with Daqasi?"

He was not a fool. The other party told him so much, and it was obvious that he had evil intentions, especially when Horus thought about the admonishment Balkro had given him last time, which might have been to ruin Dagasi's plan.

Byercro said bluntly: "No, you are wrong. I am not using you. I don't mind what you do. I am just a detective and I have the right to tell you some information."

Horus believed part of what Byrklo said, and he probably didn't mind his actions that much, but as for the use, it definitely existed.

In fact, Horus guessed that Byrklo and Daqasi even had some connection, and Baykro was not too keen on sabotaging Daqasi's actions.

Otherwise, since Byrklo knew that he was being used by Daqasi, why did he just remind himself a little bit?

After analyzing Barcroft's words carefully, Horus discovered that Barcroft had said those words just to make him remember something.

——That means Xi Song is not as dangerous as imagined.

Therefore, it is very likely that Byrkro's intention was to keep Horus in Xisong.

As for why you stay in Xisong?

Of course it was to cause trouble for Daqasi.

This is what Horus guessed. Byrklo just did it casually. As for whether it was successful or not, it didn't have much impact on him.

However, it was Horus who was most affected.

Admittedly, Horus didn't want to get involved in such nonsense, but he seemed to care a little. He is not a particularly righteous person, but he cannot ignore these things.

I have always felt that the "Gravekeeper" should quietly guard the secrets buried underground... But, on the contrary, I think that I want to bury the secrets... Horus laughed at himself in his heart, feeling that until now, the "Gravekeeper" His identity is still affecting him.

Therefore, he planned to stay in Xisong for a while.

As for doing this?

Well, Horus didn't really intend to meddle, he just stayed for a while. After all, he didn't want to be like a fugitive every time and could only leave silently.

But... looking at Byrklo, Horus said: "Then, Mr. Byrklo, how do you think I can get more information about the extraordinary?"

After all, he couldn't lose himself, so Horus felt that he had better get some benefits from the other party.
