Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?
20. The death of a painter (1) (4/5)
Geralt began to look for clues in the house. He had carefully observed Cronin's body completely. The murderer had done it skillfully and cleanly. The fatal wound was on the neck. Someone cut the throat with a dagger from behind, and then bled.
, dragged to the living room, and removed the internal organs.
He described it in his mind with a detached mentality, silently guessing the identity of the perpetrator. If he wanted to do this, he must be bold and careful, and he may have done it many times before. At the same time, killing people
That's all. You deliberately arranged the scene to be so horrifying. Do you want to warn someone?
The Witcher came to Cronin's study, and he began to look through Cronin's letters. Most of them were just ordinary correspondence, such as the tax collector, the college he attended, or letters with his family. Nothing special, just
Three letters are worth mentioning.
The first letter was not signed, this one was written with blood.
"We know exactly what you want to do, Cronin. You'd better stop. In that case, for the sake of your family, maybe we will let you go. But if you persist, then I'm afraid Mrs. Gregory
All she can see is her son's cold body. You'd better warn your companions, boy, you must stop immediately!"
Geralt silently put this letter into his inner pocket and began to read the second letter. This letter was very short and was sent by a person named K. It had the fragrance of platycodon flowers.
"Oh my God, Cronin, you have to leave now. I'm begging you, stop what you're doing! This is too dangerous! They're not going to let you go on!"
The third letter was written by Cronin himself. He did not send it or even write who he wanted to send it to. The young man's handwriting was neat and elegant, but the content was not.
"Fuck you! Threaten me? You can use violence to solve me, but you can never solve the truth! Something will happen, just like you trying to kill me, if you can do it, just come! I will not be afraid of you
Yes, I will not leave my home nor stop what I am going to do, Cronin Gregory will never give in! Even if you kill me, they will continue, something has to be resolved!
"
His words were extremely firm, and the witcher's eyes noticed the notebook he opened, which had a line of cursive writing on it.
"...But I have been here, and when people in later generations resist oppression and call out for heroes, they still have names to call them."
He put the two letters close to his body, tore off the page, folded it solemnly, and put it in his inner pocket. After doing all this, he was about to leave. At this moment, there was a slight sound in front of the door.
There was a noise. The demon hunter's pupils shrank, and he immediately stood in a secluded and dark place in the room, holding the vase in his right hand and holding the Yaksi Seal in his left hand. He was ready for battle.
But unexpectedly, next he only heard the low sobbing of a girl.
After hesitating for a while, Geralt walked out of the room. He did not try to move lightly this time. The clearly audible voice immediately alerted the girl. She immediately got up and shouted with a trembling voice: "Who?!
Who’s there?!”
Geralt's face slowly emerged from the shadows, and the girl immediately relaxed. When the witcher was still feeling strange about the girl's reaction, she ran over and hugged the witcher.
The witcher smelled the scent of lisianthus flowers on his arm. The girl cried and said: "They killed him! Sir! They killed him!"
"..."
He comforted the somewhat silly girl and pulled her into Cronin's study to prevent her from seeing the miserable scene again. After the girl gradually calmed down, Geralt asked: "Who are you?
"
The girl said coquettishly: "Christina Gergastave."
The girl's long name was very difficult to pronounce. Geralt frowned and said, "I'll just call you Christina. What's going on? Who are they?"
It's okay that he didn't mention them. As soon as he mentioned them, the girl started crying again, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and said: "It's Alphonse Willey and his gang, that's Hawthorne."
'...They've been after Cronin for so long! I've been trying to get him to get out of here with me, but he just won't! Oh my God!"
Geralt used Yaksi on her, and Christina's expression suddenly became dull, and her eyes lost their original aura. Geralt asked patiently: "Tell me about this Hawthorne."
Following Christina's narration, Geralt soon learned who this Hawthorne was. Hawthorne, whose original name was Alphonse Willy, was known as
'Hawthorne' means son-in-law. However, while he has these anti-human characteristics, he is also an avid poetry lover and a patron of artistic tastes. Cronin emerged at an art exhibition two years ago.
He was noticed by Hawthorne at that time, and Hawthorne wanted him to paint a painting for him, but Cronin was unwilling for some reason, no matter how much money Hawthorne offered.
He even pointed his nose in front of Hawthorne's men and scolded Hawthorne as a damn oppressor, but Hawthorne was not angry. He just tried to persuade him and left a lot of money saying that he would come again. Crowe
Ning donated all the money to the nuns of the Meritelli Order, and he began to avoid Hawthorne and his men. Until today, it seems that doom has really come.
But the witcher's intuition told him that this was not the case.
It is true that Hawthorne is a bastard, but if such a cruel person does not fall out on the spot when someone points his nose and scolds him, then he must have a terrible love for art. He has no reason to write a letter to threaten Cronin and ask him to stop what he is doing.
What he did - Regardless of what it was, he could have killed Cronin on the spot to avoid embarrassing himself in front of his men. You know, for people like them, the prestige of their men is more important than anything else.
.
This doesn't make sense.
Geralt asked again: "Do you know what Cronin is doing?"
Christina said dullly: "I don't know, sir. I asked him, but he just said he was doing something big."
event.
well.
The demon hunter sighed silently. He had seen too many people die because of their ideals. The clues were basically clear, but he had one last question: "Did you know that Cronin was killed in the Patriarch's Square a week ago?
Was it about an attack?"
"I know, that is Mr. Dale, and he is very angry. He is our teacher. Cronin painted a bust of his wife without his consent last time, so he was very angry."
"Very good, do you know where his family lives?"
