Red Moon Returns

Kill and silence.

Including Dr. Swain, four people came up with this idea at the same time.

There is no such coincidence in the world. The only thing these four people have in common is that they were ordered to take off duty the day before yesterday, which may expose the existence of the housekeeper Rocky and the city lord.

Lin Qi and the other four couldn't help but feel scared.

If Lynch hadn't realized the significance of Leonard hiding the murder weapon at home yesterday, they wouldn't have been able to extract information from the four people and determine that it was the housekeeper Rocky who induced them to leave their jobs. Then as soon as they got sick today, this matter would have Never to be noticed again.

The four of them secretly rejoiced that they were half a step ahead of their opponents. In this way, the act of silencing them was tantamount to a direct confession. It might not necessarily have something to do with the city lord, but it definitely had something to do with his butler.

A small victory in half the game.

But what about Terry Knight?

The four soldiers said that the butler had the consent of Knight Terry when he borrowed people. He should have known about it. Could he be the next one to be silenced? If he is not dead, it means that he is from the city lord camp.

But in any case, the opponent should feel that he has successfully silenced us now, and will not target us and Dr. Swain for the time being. It is the best time to conduct further investigations. Just don’t let the enemy realize that we have discovered the real cause of the four deaths.

"Who are they?" Lynch asked, pretending not to know, "They got sick together? Do they have anything in common?"

"Yes, they are all guards at the south gate. They have been on duty these days." Knight Terry's face was serious, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity. "Does this mean that the fundamental problem lies with the south gate?"

"Is there anything else they have in common?"

"As far as I know, there are none." Knight Terry said through the interpreter. "Maybe I will go up and ask other soldiers later. Maybe there is something I don't know."

Is this an actor-level performance?

Lynch squinted his eyes and was thinking, but Miss Diana was already lying in his ear and whispered: "It's not like he's pretending, but it can explain it. If what Rocky told is a lie, he didn't ask for Terry's consent at all. "At any time, ordinary soldiers would not dare to go to Terry for verification, especially if they get benefits."

rational.

Lin Qi nodded secretly. Otakus are weak when it comes to this kind of sophistication, but with the knowledge of a great noble, what she tells you is basically the answer.

Therefore, it is possible that Terry is innocent and will not be silenced.

"You are right. There may indeed be a problem with the south gate. It may have been infiltrated by the enemy."

Lynch immediately agreed. Even if his position was uncertain, he could still be used as the best tool to divert the enemy's attention. Lynch patted the knight's shoulder hard and said seriously:

"I'll leave that to you. Our identities don't allow us to participate. We'll investigate from other angles. I'll keep your badge for now. If we find anything, we can share information at any time."

As he spoke, he winked at Dr. Swain, called her aside and whispered: "If nothing else, each of them should have a silver bead on their body. We gave it to you. If you want to check it later, They just help to recycle it.”

It's not entirely greedy for money. This thing is too eye-catching in the small town and can easily be associated with them, and the fact that they have come into contact with these four people will be exposed immediately.

The doctor was stunned and immediately realized that Lynch and the others had been in contact with the victim and wanted to hide it from Terry. He rolled his eyes and immediately raised his voice and said:

"I need to check their physical condition now. Terry, let them... forget it, don't let the soldiers take risks. It's too dangerous and they will die. Lynch, you have fighting ability, come and help me."

"Then I'll go to the south gate to check it out first, and I'll leave this place to you, Ms. Swain."

Terry did not raise any suspicion and was sent away quite proactively, leaving only four soldiers waiting for orders. Dr. Swain naturally asked the four people to guard the door of the underground prison on the grounds that it was too dangerous, and then looked at Lynch with doubts.

Seeing Dr. Swain's cooperation, Officer Natalie couldn't help but said: "It seems that you believe in us more than you believe in the armed knight. Is there anything wrong with him?"

"He is a good person and is willing to consider the people, but he is the city lord after all. In comparison, I am more willing to trust you because we have exchanges of interests. After traveling for fifteen years, I found that this is the most worthwhile Reason for trust." Doctor Swain sighed, "So, what's going on with the four of them?"

Only then did Lynch share her experience yesterday afternoon with Dr. Swain without any concealment. She did not express any doubt during the whole process, but her expression became more solemn the more she listened.

"So we all agree that the person behind the scenes is the city lord, or at least related to him. Today's incident has further verified our guess." Lynch finally asked, "We have never dared to ask casually, so we can only ask you. Okay, what kind of person is the city lord? From your perspective, is it possible that he is?"

"The city owner's name is Jackson. He has been a nobleman of the Republic for several generations. They built this city for the Republic more than a hundred years ago and have been in charge of it ever since."

Dr. Swain hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"He should be considered a good nobleman. At least the people have not suffered much for more than a hundred years, and he has not had any conflicts with us. I'll tell you the truth, I can't believe that the real murderer is him. In comparison , I would rather believe that Rocky did it, because I really can’t figure out why he did it.”

"So you don't think he has a motive?"

"Yes. I don't know what system your country has, but in the Sailer Republic, this city is his personal property. If he did it, he would be destroying the business achievements of his family for generations with his own hands. When I suggested asking for help, I just made the threat of the ghouls more serious, and he agreed without hesitation. Judging from his performance, it was hard to believe that he would do this. "

"But you believed it yesterday."

"Well, you have been helping us since you showed up, and you have behaved very professionally. Even Terry told me privately yesterday that he admires you not only for your strength, but also for your ability to face those mysteries calmly. We also have common interests, so I believe you won't lie to me. And your analysis is very reasonable. Something happened again today. It is more and more likely that the city lord is the murderer. I am not sure now. "

"Perhaps something changed his mind?" Lynch said thoughtfully, "Has anything special happened recently?"

"How close is it?"

"Uh, three months?"

"That's not the case."

"When will it be available?"

"His youngest son died of illness half a year ago. I don't know if it counts."

"What did you say?"

The dramas he had watched before came into his mind. The moment he heard this sentence, twenty or thirty very reasonable motives appeared in Lynch's mind. He immediately took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Do you know where his son's grave is?"

"I know, it's in the cemetery outside the city on the west side." Dr. Swain looked at Lynch suspiciously, "You don't want to dig graves for food, do you?"

"I suspect that there are no corpses in that tomb anymore." Lynch said distressedly, "Let's check these four people first. I want to look for them later. It's best to dig them up and take a look."
