Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

A light stone hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the faces of several people.

The entire room was deathly quiet.

Even the guards who kept talking were frozen on the spot, looking at the coffin in the middle in disbelief.

McIntosh is dead!

The old barrel leader who controlled all the workers at the port and had countless lovers was just lying there quietly.

Wearing the most familiar clothes, surrounded by flower petals.

Wu Heng observed the guard members. Judging from the disbelieving expressions on their faces, they had just learned that they were dead.

"When did it happen?" Wu Heng asked.

The bald man sighed softly and said: "The day after the attack, the leader couldn't hold on any longer, so he asked us to prepare a coffin."

Wu Heng looked at the corpse, "What was the cause of death?"

"Snake venom."

Snake venom?

"Didn't you use any potion?"

The research and development of pharmaceuticals in this world has reached an exaggerated level.

Even the antidote can be developed for the zombie virus, and the snake venom can kill the opponent?

And he is also a professional with a high level.

It is also more resistant to abnormal conditions.

"I took the potion and invited the famous alchemist on the island, but it still had no effect." The bald head said helplessly.

"It's settled, can the person still lie in the coffin?" The guard commander snorted coldly, "Why didn't you say that 'McIntosh' was dead before?"

The bald head replied, "Old Cask also has many enemies. Once the news of the leader's death spreads, someone will probably take some action."

The guard commander nodded, quite satisfied with this answer.

He walked straight into the room and looked around the body.

Then, he took off his protective gloves, checked his breathing, then lifted up the corpse's clothes, put his hand in and held it at the heart.

The bald man looked startled and wanted to stop him, but he still endured it.

Looking to the side.

After a while, the commander took out his hand and said, "It's really dead."

From the tone of voice, the guards didn't quite believe that this woman would die.

The guard commander took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands as he came back, "McIntosh and I have a good relationship. I feel bad when my old friend dies. If you old barrels have any ideas, just tell me."

The bald man clenched his hands, looked at the people present, and said solemnly: "The poisonous snakes that appeared in the corpse must have been made by someone. If you can help us find the murderer, Lao Cong is willing to give 200 gold as a reward."

Everyone present was shocked.

This old wooden barrel is really rich.

Killing a pirate only earns a few hundred silver.

If you find the murderer on the island, you can get 200 gold.

If the team led by Wu Heng can investigate the murderer, everyone will get gold coins.

It can also be seen that this old wooden barrel man is really angry.

The same was true for the guards. After the surprise, there was a kind of excitement.

The guard commander coughed lightly, "Tell me everything that happened. Be more careful. If you can find out who killed McIntosh, your information is equally important."

The bald man was silent for a moment and told the story about the port.

The cause was a dispute between two work teams over cargo issues, which then gradually escalated, causing chaos and affecting normal transportation at the port.

McIntosh took people over, and after mediation, when he looked at the workers who died in the chaos, the bodies exploded and a poisonous snake bit 'McIntosh'.

Even if you take the potion quickly.

After returning, the symptoms still did not disappear, and he finally died in the tavern.

The commander continued to ask, "Who do you suspect?"

"The people in Black Crow's Nest have a problem with us. The Sea Dog Gang also wants to steal the port business. Since their leader is dead, they will benefit the most."

The commander nodded, "Wait, I'll go find it for you."

After saying that, he waved and left directly with several members of the guard.

……

The guards left, and the whole room became quieter.

Wu Heng led several people close to the coffin and took a close look at the state of the body.

It can be confirmed that there are no obvious signs of life.

The female boss with a somewhat arrogant attitude just lay stiffly in the coffin.

After looking around, he asked, "Why wasn't there an autopsy?"

"The leader's race has a tradition that the body must be kept intact after death. Before he died, he also told us that we can investigate the murderer in any way, but we must not destroy her body." Bald Head followed and explained.

"What about questioning the corpse? It's the Necromancer, asking questions about the body."

The bald man shook his head and said that was not possible either.

After all, it was not the body of a wanted criminal, so it would be unreasonable to insist on interrogating the body.

Wu Heng glanced at the other party, turned around and said, "Kawina, check the body."

Kavina stepped forward, untied the body's clothes, and began to examine it.

Several men present walked not far away.

Go ahead and ask some questions.

The bald man was also very cooperative, saying what he asked and occasionally adding something.

Not long after, Kavina came back and said, "There were obvious signs of snake bites, and no other fatal injuries were found on her body."

Wu Heng nodded and looked at the bald head again.

"You said, where are the corpses with venomous snakes in their bodies?"

The bald head said: "I was afraid that it might contain some poison, so I had it taken to the wasteland behind and buried. If you need to check, I'll have someone take you there."

"Okay, let's arrange some people!"

Several people walked back up together.

The bald man explained a few words to two equally strong men.

The two came over and saluted.

Wu Heng said: "Let's go, take us to the port first."

The two nodded.

He took them out together, prepared the carriage, and headed directly to the port.

……

In port location.

The two pointed out the location at that time and also talked about some of the conditions at the scene.

Because 'McIntosh's' death was not announced to the public, the entire port was still operating normally.

There was nothing to protect the scene, and not even a trace of blood could be found.

After a brief inspection, he continued to the place where the body was buried.

Outside the city, there is an undeveloped wasteland.

Two strong men and team members dug out the body with shovels.

The straw mat was opened, revealing three corpses with pierced intestines and rotten stomachs.

In the soil on the side, you can still see some dead black snakes as thick as a little finger.

"Sir, there were only three corpses. At that time, their bellies exploded like balloons. These poisonous snakes came out. It didn't take long for these snakes to die themselves." One person said.

Wu Heng nodded, motioned for several people to take a few steps back, and released [Conversation with the Dead] to the first body.

The lying corpse suddenly sat up and looked this way.

The two people in the tavern were startled, retreated in panic, and stood watching from a distance.

Wu Heng asked directly to the corpse: "Why did the fight happen before you died?"

The corpse replied, "They took our jobs and started fighting before we even reached an agreement."

Wu Heng asked again, "Your body has been pre-buried with spells. Who did it?"

"do not know!"

"Before your death, did you have any contact with unfamiliar people?"

"No."

"Did you find anything suspicious at the scene, anyone trying to get close to you?"

"Not found."

"In your opinion, who was likely to kill 'McIntosh' that day?"

"The people in Black Crow's Nest have quite a problem with them."

After the five questions were over, the body lay back on its back.

Judging from the first body.

No clues were asked.

There was no breakthrough on his side, and the corpse didn't know anything about it.

As for the mention of the Black Crow's Nest, it is just a personal guess and cannot be considered as evidence pointing to the target.

……

Continue to look at the second corpse and release [Conversation with the Dead].

Then the body sat up.

"Before you died, someone suspicious was spotted and tried to get close to you."

"no!"

"..."

After five questions in a row, the corpse still did not provide any effective information.

The focus was on the fight.

Then the third body sat up.

The corpse was dressed a little differently, somewhat like a steward.

"Before you died, you spotted someone suspicious and tried to get close to you."

The corpse was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"That morning, a dwarf came looking for work. The money was relatively small, so I agreed to follow him."
