My players are so fierce

Chapter 1106 1104. Detective Afeng's Death Reasoning

At this time, on the Heart of Ptolemy, which was flying rapidly towards the Holy City of the Fiery Sun Church, in the edge cabin, Afeng, who had just become an orthodox low-level priest of the Dead Moon Church, was sitting at the mechanical table, with a piece of paper in front of him, thinking hard about something.

He should not have appeared on this spaceship heading to the Holy City of the Sun. His identity and status were a little worse, and he was not enough to participate in the action of the Songhai Empire to activate the Giant God Soldier to solve the current trouble, but he had a good mentor.

The little mummy who accompanied the two heirs of the empire on the mission strongly requested Afeng to accompany him, so he got on the ship in a daze.

Afeng knew that this was Nefertari protecting him.

In the chaotic scene when the Pharaoh was assassinated before, Afeng failed to break out with Qin Ye and the others. Now he has become the only player in the Palace Mountain, and his situation is very special. He cannot be resurrected infinitely like other players. If he is left in the Palace Mountain, he may cause trouble.

At this moment, while sighing, Afeng couldn't help but think that his mother's overly harsh protection of him before was indeed justified. He encountered such an exciting situation when he left Transia for a long journey for the first time.

Damn!

The outside world is really dangerous.

However, at present, the journey to the Holy City of the Sun on the Heart of Ptolemy cannot be considered safe. At least the hidden danger in Afeng's mind has not been eliminated.

As a surgeon with a doctorate degree, Afeng has enough rigorous logic to review the whole process of the Pharaoh's attack alone and infer the murderer through his own thinking, not to mention that he has a "plug-in".

The incident that night has been posted on the forum by players and has become the hottest post in the past two days. Even on the Transia Tavern APP, a reasoning activity called "Who assassinated the Pharaoh" was created.

It really attracted a group of script-killing and werewolf-killing enthusiasts to think divergently.

Although they were limited by the channels for obtaining information and could only obtain details from the images taken by Saion, most of the speculations were absurd or untenable, but it was not an empty talk that there were experts among the people. Afeng currently summarized several logical replays with the highest likes from the forum and APP, and he was comparing them alone in the cabin to try to find the real culprit.

While he was thinking, the cabin door quietly opened, and a small mummy in mourning clothes walked in with a double snake cane.

Her "Songhai people's mourning hat" was not worn for the poor pharaoh. After all, Tuthmons II had not died with the help of Murphy. Considering the characteristics of the Beta program restraint device, it can be determined that the pharaoh here is in a strange superposition state of "neither life nor death" like a guy who needs to rely on a golden toilet to survive.

Nefertari's ritual plain dress was worn for her mentor, the high priest Bayek.

According to the news from the Moon City, at the same time as the Pharaoh was assassinated, High Priest Bayek was assassinated in the underworld secret room of the Moon City and died. Although the old man could not be called "alive" hundreds of years ago, the fact that he was officially notified meant that High Priest Bayek had indeed met with an accident, that is, "death" for the undead.

"Are you okay?"

A Feng raised his head and looked at the silent Nefertari and asked:

"You always talk about High Priest Bayek. He must be very important to you. I'm sorry."

"You want me to mourn, why not let those bastards who did bad things mourn!"

Nefertari said in a cold tone:

"The mentor will not die in vain. I will definitely make the murderer pay the heaviest price. What's more, do you really think that old man is dead? What a joke! He has seen more storms and waves in his life than you and I have eaten. He must have kept a back hand.

Maybe my mentor is hiding somewhere now in a dark corner, trying to catch the mastermind behind this mess.

But what are you doing?

I have been drawing in the cabin since I got on board.

"Analyzing the murder and looking for the murderer."

A Feng trusted the little mummy very much. He did not hide his actions. He handed her several mind maps in his hand and said:

"We have mobilized many reasoning enthusiasts in our hometown to review the case together. They have provided many valuable ideas. You might as well take a look. Maybe it will help you.

Nefertari looked down and saw that the mind map in front of her was quite complicated.

It started from the perspective of "whoever benefits is the murderer", listed several suspected people or forces, and used simple charts to simulate the motives of each force to do this. Finally, from the simulated perspective of "if I were the murderer", the assassination that night was reviewed.

It has to be said that this logical system is very smooth. Except for the lack of evidence, even the little mummy herself was convinced.

She was stunned for a moment, then looked up and said to Afeng:

"So, do you really believe that the Church of the Dead Moon and the Church of the Burning Sun may be involved? In addition, why are my name and the mentor's name also among the suspects?"

"Because the time of the death of High Priest Bayek is too coincidental."

Afeng explained:

"This trick of deliberately creating an alibi to clear suspicion has been played out in various movies and TV dramas over there. Of course, you also saw that this guy marked this guess as less likely.

You can look at the second picture. Another guy analyzed it from the perspective of political gaming and social resource grabbing.

He elaborated on the conflict between the faith forces and the royal power in the Songhai Empire, especially the severe squeeze exerted by the Faith of the Creator on the Church of the Dead Moon and the Burning Sun.

Because the people of Songhai all believe in the Creator and regard it as the prerequisite for their existence, in fact, there are no "devout believers" in the true sense of the Dead Moon Church and the Lieyang Church. Each of you priests possesses two qualities at the same time. Belief, this is simply fatal to the long-term development of the church's power.

If it is not pure enough, various problems will arise. The unique belief system of the Songhai people is unimaginable in other parts of the mainland.

Although your sages did use the theory of 'death and rebirth planned by the Creator' to unify the three faiths, this thing can only be used as lip service during scripture debate. It is difficult for a true faith practitioner like you to learn from this. In the unified theory, real benefits are obtained.

More importantly, if the logic of this world's belief system is applied, then the symbols of faith of the Burning Sun Church and the Dead Moon Church, that is, the gods of rebirth and death, have not been able to appear for a long time. Perhaps the biggest reason is that the Songhai people have the most faith in them. Dedicated to the Creator.

But the most humorous thing is that our Creator has left long ago, and there is no need for the Songhai people to offer their faith.

Therefore, if the faith of mortals is regarded as a 'special resource', then the Songhai Empire has been squandering this precious resource indiscriminately for more than a thousand years. "

Afeng lay on the table, supporting his chin with his hands, and talked to the little mummy, a high-ranking official of the Dead Moon Church:

"It took the Jackals a hundred years to create the Lord of the Hunt, a real symbol of faith, and it only took the Wamu Barbarians a few hundred years to create their own Berserkers. However, the Songhay people spent a thousand For many years, they failed to create the 'Lord of the Burning Sun' or the 'God of Death'.

Given the sheer size of the Empire's inhabitants, this in itself was unreasonable.

Therefore, my compatriots judge that the Church of the Dead Moon and the Church of the Blazing Sun are the most motivated forces in the current empire system to overthrow the belief in the Creator, and they do have enough power to do this.

Do you have any explanation for this conclusion that seems to you to be outrageous? "

"No, no, logically it's perfect, so perfect that I started to doubt myself."

The little mummy replied in a tone of "I'll just listen to you".

She flipped through the mind map in her hand and found something interesting on the fourth page.

This picture does not start from the macro level of faith and politics, but focuses on the detailed restoration of the scene of the assassination of the Pharaoh. The guy who made this picture even drew a sketch.

He used markers to explain various areas of the scene, abandoning all random speculation without evidence, and instead used the most pragmatic method to list the people at the scene who were most likely to poison the Pharaoh.

The most suspicious person in this picture is Crown Prince Khufu, followed by Princess Fulier and Queen Songhai, followed by several of the king's chief guards.

There are no surprising arguments here, but following the lines extending downward from the top of Palace Mountain in this picture, the little mummy soon discovered that among the murderers this picture tried to find, those who were not at the scene were actually Also suspected.

As Afeng said, the trick of creating an alibi to clear suspicion has been played out in other world movies and TV dramas.

"This picture is interesting."

The little mummy lifted it up and said:

"This man believed that everyone who had come into contact with the bottle of poisoned wine was suspect, but what he didn't know was that because the Pharaoh was not good at drinking, the bottle of wine was taken out of the wine cellar by the queen herself that night.

The ceremonial mead was chosen not according to the taste of the Pharaoh but according to traditional laws.

There were more than 3,000 bottles of mead in the cellar, and the queen just smoked one bottle at random. Unless the other party poisoned all the wine, there would be no problem in this link.

After it was taken out, it was put into an ice bucket and sent to the palace with the Queen and Princess Fulier. During the whole process, only routine inspectors touched it. There were three inspections, one of which was Pass the open bottle test by the Poison Master of the Church of the Dead Moon.

The second is through the spiritual purification of the priests of the Burning Sun Church.

The third is that it was drunk by a random one of the three poison testers before the Pharaoh drank it. After confirmation, it was delivered to the Pharaoh.

But the surprise occurred in the third step. Prince Khufu took the initiative to pour the wine for His Majesty that night, and there was no poison tester to drink it. "

"So, there are three suspects."

Afeng held his chin and said:

"Everyone in the three tests has the opportunity to do anything, and the drug tester can be eliminated. From the most realistic point of view, one of the two people tested that night was the murderer."

"that."

Nefertari couldn't hold herself any longer, she stepped forward and screamed:

"The person who tested the food and alcohol in the Church of the Burning Sun that night was Priest Bodinos. It was impossible for him to do such a thing. So you are saying that I, who tested the toxins in the alcohol on behalf of the Church of the Dead Moon that night, was the one who committed the crime. Is that right?

This is ridiculous! "

"Don't worry, I have already said that this is just a judgment based on the most realistic logic. Although it is logical, it may not be correct. There are all kinds of weird magic in this world. Maybe someone uses some secret method remotely. Did you replace the drink?"

Afeng was also amused by the conclusion deduced by himself and the little mummy.

He waved his hands and said:

"I believe it was not you who did it. You have absolutely no reason or motive to do such a thing, unless your brain water condition worsened again and you developed schizophrenia. However,"

Afeng paused, looked at the little mummy with a subtle look, and asked:

"Why do you think Priest Bertinos wouldn't do such a thing? Is it just because he is the prospective son-in-law of the Pharaoh?"

"No! Not only because Bodinos is deeply in love with my best friend Fulier, but also because Priest Bodinos' ethics and beliefs do not allow him to do such a thing.

He is the most devout believer in the Burning Sun and the most outstanding genius in the Holy City of the Sun in the past hundred years. He comes from a poor family but has a strong mind. He has spent twenty years providing free medical treatment to civilians in oases across the empire. Many people have He is called the 'Saint of the Burning Sun', and he is extremely talented in the field of purifying spiritual energy. "

The little mummy clapped her fingers and said:

"It is said that on the day he became the Sun Priest, the Sun Scarab demigod Parom in the star realm was alarmed. The Sun Scarab dropped its light and shone on him, which represented the demigod's respect for his mind and talent. recognized.

It was also because of that incident that Bodinos became the divine choice of the top management of the Holy City of the Sun and Palom.

The Pharaoh personally summoned him and gave him the position of palace defense officer. He also asked him to accompany Crown Prince Khufu, as if he planned to train him as a pillar of the empire. He also gave his daughter, the most outstanding and most outstanding person in the entire Songhai Empire, The beautiful girl was betrothed to him.

He only needs to follow his current life trajectory to become a big shot in history. Whether it is from the perspective of personal interests or political power, he has no reason to do such bad things! "

"It sounds true, but if this matter has anything to do with Dusk, it's hard to say. After all, there are not many normal people in the Dusk organization. To use an old saying to describe the current situation, after all possibilities have been ruled out , no matter how outrageous the conclusion is, it must be true.”

Afeng snorted and looked at the hourglass on the table again, and said:

"Follow me to the mechanical laboratory in the airship. I made something there. The results should be out now."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked to the mechanical laboratory with the unhappy little mummy. He took out three test tubes from a device similar to a centrifuge. The liquid inside was very pure and showed three kinds of Different colors.

"What's this?"

The little mummy asked in surprise, and Afeng shrugged and explained:

"This thing is a device used to prepare special oil for the Heart of Ptolemy. Its principle is very similar to the centrifuge we have over there, so I used it to separate the components of the sample I took out of the poisonous wine that night. .

It seems to be working well now.

You see, the three main ingredients in the poisonous wine have been extracted. Of course, they are not pure. In order to ensure the number of samples, I added some base liquid I made myself, but generally it will not destroy the ingredients. Drug ingredients.

You happen to be a toxin master. Can you help me see what's in this? "

"You are really capable, Feng, I underestimated you."

Nefertari curled her lips, put three different test tubes under her nostrils and sniffed, and she quickly came to a conclusion:

"What was isolated in the first test tube was an alchemical item used to mask the smell. It is a preservative used by the Church of the Dead Moon. It can perfectly eliminate the odor on the corpse! The formula of this thing is only known by the people of the Church of the Dead Moon. .

I suddenly feel that your previous outrageous speculation about the conflict of faith does not seem so absurd.

Am I really the murderer? "

She exclaimed, then picked up the second test tube and examined it carefully under her nostril.

This time it took longer, and Nefertari's nose was deformed by the pull of the rune bandage.

"The ingredients in this are very mixed, and many flavors are mixed together. I can't accurately judge the ingredients, but I am sure it is definitely not wine, but there is no scent of chaos left. That unscientific and magical thing should have been drunk by the Pharaoh. At that time, it was transferred into his body through fusion and penetration.”

"Well, I know that when the power of these gods and ghosts is involved, the power of scientific analysis will be greatly reduced."

A Feng shook his head in disappointment.

It seems that his analysis of the ingredients of the poisonous wine will also fail.

However, the little mummy is a person who has a beginning and an end. Although she did not smell the drug ingredients in the second test tube, she still picked up the third test tube and put it under her nostrils and smelled it.

As a result, the little mummy's hands began to shake after this sniff.

This action immediately attracted Afeng's attention, and he said doubtfully:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the stuff in this test tube?"

"No problem, this is an ordinary alchemy item additive. It comes from something called 'saprophyte flower'. The content is very small, but it is purified using a very clever method. This thing will only grow in areas where a large number of undead exist."

Nefertari's voice was shaking as she stammered:

"But the problem is that in the Port of Origin before, Fulier and I found traces of saprophyte flowers in the meditation room of Berdinos. Oh my God! Oh my God. It's him! He really did it."

"Bang"

The door of the mechanical laboratory was pushed open at this moment. Afeng, who reacted quickly, stepped forward and hugged the little mummy. The sun priest Bodinos who came in looked at the two people hiding here in surprise. Something undead.

But when he saw Afeng's hand on Nefertari's butt, Lord Berdinos turned his face away immediately.

He was a well-educated gentleman, and it was better not to watch such a thing that would cause corns if he peeped.

"I'm sorry to disturb your tryst, but we're about to arrive at the Holy City of the Sun, so please be prepared."

The Fiery Sun Priest said in a gentle tone, then closed the door and left. The trembling little mummy in Afeng's arms gritted his teeth and said:

"I'm going to kill him! That bastard! He did it!"

"Don't worry, the Holy City of the Sun is someone else's territory."

Afeng said softly:

"You go to Princess Fulier, I'm with His Highness Khufu, we must ensure their safety, and then we can only act according to circumstances, wait for me to post a message on the forum first! We can't handle this kind of thing, we must call for help.

I hope Lord Murphy can still be as magical as before, and can rush to our side when we need it, otherwise

we're all done."
