POW camp

"Gebo is dead." Prince Haiya's tone was heavy, with concern in his blue eyes, "I don't know why this happened..."

Di Heng knelt down on one knee: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish him, Your Highness."

Prince Haiya shook his head: "This has nothing to do with you. He didn't die in Fancheng, and now is not the time to pursue responsibility. But the cause of Ge Bo's death must be found out, lest people with ulterior motives take this matter Make a big fuss. Morton—" He turned to another silent man standing aside, "Now is a sensitive period, and Di Heng and I have no way to show up, so I will leave this matter to you. You must rush to the Yadi City, find a way to conduct a thorough investigation, here is the letter I signed and issued." Prince Haiya handed the letter in front of Morton, with gentle and sincere eyes: "Morton, I have always thought that you are steady and stable, and you are worthy of a great responsibility. You won't let me down, will you?"

Morton took the letter: "Of course, Your Highness."

Morton walked out of Prince Haiya's mansion, Lindsay waited anxiously outside, and when he saw him come out, he gestured and asked, "What happened?"

"Ge Bo died in Yadi City. This matter is very difficult, and I'm afraid it will not be good for Prince Haiya." The two jumped into the carriage, and Morton ordered to rush to Yadi City immediately.

"Ah." Lindsay frowned, "How could it be... well, but it doesn't have much to do with Fancheng."

"Whether it matters or not, let's wait and see. We have to keep an eye on it, in case someone uses this to deal with Prince Haiya."

"okay."

Originally, Ge Bo could have returned to the imperial capital by plane. After all, his main purpose of coming to Fancheng this time was to inspect the local guards for the emperor, so he should report back to the emperor as soon as possible.But the hospitality of both Fancheng and Yadi is too warm, and Ge Bo found that on the carriage, the charming Kelan would show a more distinctive lewd coquettish, with the bumps of the carriage... Ge Bo Bo was so obsessed with it that he wished he could drown in it.What's more, Princess Maisie sent a secret letter to imply that he didn't need to be too urgent, so it was even more natural to linger on the road.In the small city of Yadi, he stayed for nearly a week. Just the night before he was going to leave, the guard outside suddenly heard the sound of glass being smashed inside, rushed in and found that Ge Bo was dead.

The mayor of Yadi City was shocked, his face pale with fright, and immediately sealed off the scene, and sent experts to conduct an autopsy on Ge Bo's body, trying to solve the case as soon as possible.

In fact, the situation of this case is basically obvious.There were only three people inside, Gerber, Kelan, and Ami, and all three were naked.Ge Bo was stabbed in the heart and died on the spot.He was lying prone on the bed with the wound on his back.Crane's legs were wide open, hanging, and his lower body was covered with sperm spots, which showed what was happening at that time.He was lying on his side, seemingly after a strong struggle, with his arms stretched in the direction of the window.A glaring fruit knife was stuck in his chest, very close to his heart. He was dying and was sent to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment.

A piece of glass was smashed out of the window—presumably the guard outside the door knew something had happened when they heard this sound—a heavy metal desk lamp fell into the grass in the yard outside.There is no doubt that Crane was holding the desk lamp, threw it out, shattered the glass, and notified the people outside.

The least injured was Ami, who just passed out with several scratches on his arms and chest.Upon examination, it was found that Crane's nails had traces of blood and flesh, indicating that the two men had fought.There was a bump scar on Ami's head, which was caused by the lamp.

"The most important thing is that the fruit knife has only Ami's fingerprints." The head of the security department of Yadi City said dryly. His face was very gloomy. It seemed that he must have been scolded many times by the mayor, and he was under a lot of pressure. big.

"According to this report, it is said that Ami stabbed the special envoy Gerber to death from the back while Gebo was having sex with Kelan. Kelan struggled desperately, but because his legs could not move, he could only do his best. Get the lamp next to the bed. When he hit Ami, he was also stabbed in the chest by Ami, but before he died, he threw the lamp out and smashed the window glass. Is that so?" Morton asked.

"Judging from the current situation at the scene, it should be like this."

"Minister, how strong do you think a person who has just suffered sexual abuse on the bed, is weak, and has been stabbed in the chest can throw a heavy desk lamp?"

The Minister of Security turned his head suddenly, stared into Morton's eyes, and said in a gloomy tone, "I don't think that slave is weak. In fact, even through the door, his wanton shouts can be heard throughout the corridor."

"Oh?" Morton continued to ask, "Could it be that Kelan didn't call for help when Gerber was killed by Ami?"

The muscles on the face of the Minister of Security twitched, showing a very disgusted expression: "Mr. Minister of Security, I believe that when you are fucking your bed partner, he will also make lewd moans such as 'help, I'm dead'. "

Morton's expression sank suddenly, and Lindsay pulled his sleeve quietly.Morton put down the documents in his hand, and said coldly: "Then, excuse me, thank you for your cooperation."

At this moment, a forensic doctor in a white coat rushed over and handed over a document to the Minister of Security.The Minister of Security opened it and glanced at it, then suddenly relaxed, and handed the document to Morton: "Here, take a look." There was a bit of schadenfreude in his tone, "This is the report on the blood of Special Envoy Gerbert. Chronic poisoning, and it lasted for more than a week, that is to say, he was already poisoned in Fancheng."

Morton took the report and read it carefully twice. He frowned, pointed to a vague name and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a new type of toxin." The forensic doctor answered, "I don't know its exact name yet, but I can be sure that Special Envoy Gerbert must have been infected with this toxin."

The Minister of Security breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Shiran sat down and raised his legs: "It's obvious Director Morton, Ami first poisoned Special Envoy Gerbot, and then assassinated him. Special Envoy Gerbert was poisoned in Fancheng. The suspect is also a slave sent by Fancheng, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with our Yadi City."

"What about the way to poison it?"

The forensic doctor shook his head: "I don't know. The food at the scene has been tested, and the undigested food in the stomach of Gerbert's envoy has also been tested. There is no such toxin. We don't know how they poisoned it yet."

Morton looked down at the report. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I want to see the situation at the scene."

The scene was basically the same as described in the report, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.Morton walked around carefully twice, then turned to Lindsay and asked, "Did you smell a strange smell in this room?"

"Smell?" Lindsay sniffed it carefully. The smell of blood was very strong, but besides it, there seemed to be a sweet smell.

"Looks like... some kind of flower, or perfume..." Lindsay wasn't sure.

Morton walked to the dining table. There was only the vase of flowers in the room. He identified it. No, there was no source of flower fragrance in the yard outside.He asked the Minister of Security: "Did you have this scent when you found the body?"

The Minister of Security shrugged and said indifferently: "Yes, it was more intense then. But you also understand that the special envoy likes to use some aphrodisiac spices."

Morton nodded. He smiled and said, "Thank you again for your cooperation. I think I should go back and report to Prince Haiya."

The Minister of Security kept sending them out, saying as he walked, "brother, don't say I didn't remind you, please tell Prince Haiya that the imperial capital is very concerned about this matter, and they will send another special envoy to investigate the case soon. Brother , hurry up."

Morton nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and got into the carriage with Lindsay.

"There are a lot of doubts." Morton said to Lindsay, "There are many places that don't make sense at all."

"But the Minister of Security doesn't care about that."

Morton sneered sarcastically: "Why would he care? Even if there are doubts, he would never point it out. He wished that the murderer was Ami, so it has nothing to do with Yardi City. He is at most a failure of protection, and it is nothing Big event. The truth of this matter is actually not important, what kind of truth you want is the most important thing."

Lindsay thought for a while, then asked with gestures, "You mean the murderer wasn't Ami?"

"Absolutely not." Morton said with certainty, "I think it's Crane."

Lindsay was taken aback, and his eyes widened: "No way, he obviously, obviously..."

"That's just an illusion of trying to get rid of suspicion. If you think about it, the reality may also be like this: Gebo suddenly fell into a coma from poison during sex with Kelan. Seeing this, Ami was frightened and wanted to run away. Kelan picked up the lamp Wait for him to be knocked out. Then Crane carried Ami to the bed, wiped off the fingerprints on the fruit knife, and stuffed it into Ami's hand. He used the chain on the bedside to make himself look like his legs were hung up, tightly Then he held Ami's hand, stabbed the fruit knife into the back of Gerber's heart, and then into his own chest—this is very difficult, you must grasp the proper angle, otherwise you will die. Finally, he picked up the lamp and threw it To the window. The shattering of the glass not only notifies the guards outside, but also allows him to be treated in the shortest time. Maybe what I said is also biased, but I think these are more in line with the truth."

Lindsay was stunned for a long time before making gestures in a daze: "No...you can't...Morton, you're just guessing without any basis."

"No, I have." Morton hesitated, his face suddenly turned a little ugly, "I rely on the fragrance in the room and the toxin on Gerber's body. I have seen this kind of poison before, and I am very impressed. This is a rare toxin, and it can only be transmitted in one way, that is, sexual intercourse. Crane will take this poison first, it will not harm him, but it will last for a long time. Only skin-to-skin contact with him Only people who need to be infected with this toxin can cause insanity. Ever since Ge Bo got Klan, he has always favored him, so the toxin penetrated his body little by little, and finally made him unconscious."

"This kind of poison is rare, right? Even forensic doctors can't know the exact name. Morton, where did you know it?"

Morton was silent for a while, and finally said: "This was developed by Huixuan Kingdom, and it is extremely rare. I saw it by chance a long time ago."

Lindsay bit his lip, lowered his head, seemed to be recalling what Morton said, and asked after a long time, "Why did Crane kill Special Envoy Gerber?"

"Then why did Ami want to kill Gerber?" Morton calmly analyzed, "There is no personal grievance, it is nothing more than being ordered by others. Then why did you kill Gerber at this time and this place? Not In Fancheng, or after returning to the imperial capital? Lindsay, you will understand as soon as I tell you. The poison was started in Fancheng, which involves Prince Haiya; The princess's confidant; and the head of the security department of Yadi City is the emperor's man. Ge Bo's death involved the interests of three parties at the same time, which is very unusual. This idea is very clever, that person wants to create A more chaotic situation, so as to gain some benefits from it. But because the three parties are involved, that person must not be from the Puman Empire. Lindsay, I guess, he is a spy who sneaked in from the Ole Kingdom."

Lindsay almost jumped up from his chair, he asked inexplicably in horror, "You mean, Kelan is a spy?"

"No." Morton said calmly, "I mean, Hovis is a spy."

"It's impossible." Lindsay flatly denied, "Only based on one scent, Morton, your guess is too arbitrary."

Morton nodded in agreement, and said with a sigh: "Yes, it's too arbitrary. So, I decided to investigate Hovis and find a way to test him."
