Section 16: Conclusion
Of course, you can't say this nonsense. After all, the other party is also a respectable noble. Marin has been in this world for less than half a year. To be honest, he has never really seen what a noble is, and he doesn't know what the relationship between the noble and the church is like.
In this situation, in order not to cause trouble to Colin and everyone else, Marin decided to change this simple question from another angle and slightly complicate it: "Your Excellency."
Mr. Michel, who was wiping his tears with a handkerchief, was a little surprised by Marin's greeting. He put down the handkerchief: "Little priest, is there any problem?"
"This is the first time I have seen a real noble. May I ask what your title is?" Marin smiled innocently.
"Viscount, my family has a fiefdom in the east of Carter Castle. My ancestor was one of the thirty warriors of Carter Castle." When this man mentioned his ancestors, he couldn't help but show a proud smile on his face, but
Soon it was replaced by sadness: "But what does all this have to do with my wife?"
"Of course, how much income does your fief have in a year?" At this point, Marin felt that his question was inappropriate, so he immediately answered: "Because I think, if all this is for money,
, then the kidnappers should know your identity and income very well, otherwise if they just kidnap a poor wife, their cost of committing the crime will be very high."
Mr. Michel, who was almost irritated by Marin's question, smiled awkwardly after listening to the second half of what Marin said: "You are right, little priest, my relationship with the police station
The director thinks so, the murderer must know my family very well to choose my wife from among so many decent gentlemen in the North District."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Viscount, you said that your ancestor was one of the thirty warriors. Even the chance of a warrior who could follow the first generation Lord Carter Castle was only one in thirty, not to mention the fact that these murderers faced
That’s right, everyone in the North District is so decent. If the crime is not a random one, then the murderer must have confirmed that you will be able to pay a very large ransom for your wife.”
This kind of sincere and intangible compliment from a child was very helpful to the Viscount. He nodded: "Yes, I will give everything for my wife." Then he sighed again: "Actually, three
Later, due to marriage and extermination, the Ten Warriors now only have seven families. Our ancestral masters even shed all their blood in the last wave of death, so Carter Castle finally became a free commercial city..."
"By the way, sir, I have heard about insurance. Would a gentleman like you buy insurance for you and your wife?" The drama was coming, and Marin couldn't wait to get the answer.
"Well..." Michelle shook her head in embarrassment: "According to the insurance industry convention, as the largest and only equity holder of Carterburg Insurance Company, my wife and I are not eligible to purchase insurance.
.”
Well, it seems like this guy is really a very rich guy, which is really interesting information.
Marin calmly recorded this information in his mind. Now that the possibility of insurance fraud has been ruled out, Marin then decided to lead the topic in another direction that he was ready to learn about: "According to my observation, your wife
There was a huge open wound on his chest."
"Yes, Mr. Colin from the church has already told me. He said that you purified Camilla... I'm sorry, little priest, I just wanted to vent my anger on you." This Mr. Michel was so surprised.
said.
"Sir, you love your wife so much, so I won't express your anger for a moment." Marin turned to look at Colin: "Mr. Colin, I was wondering if it would be possible to kidnap.
The murderer never wanted to obtain ransom from Mr. Michel from the beginning, but from the beginning, he aimed at sacrifice and looked for a suitable target."
Colin raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think so."
"Because I feel that if Mrs. Michel was killed while fighting the kidnappers while escaping, there shouldn't be such a wound on her chest." Marin said with memories. To be honest, even killing a chicken is nothing more than that.
, and she is a real living person: "I heard from the instructors that the followers of the evil god always like to use young and beautiful women as living sacrifices."
"This is indeed a possibility, but there have not been a large number of missing persons in Fort Carter recently, so we did not treat this incident as a human sacrifice incident."
The person in charge of the police station jumped out at this time.
Looking at him, Marin was silent for a moment - why did this person who has been an audience from the beginning suddenly jump out and say this at this time?
Do you feel that if you don’t say something, it will be treated as a dereliction of duty?
With such doubts and suspicions, Marin noticed the policeman running in. His face was full of uneasiness and nervousness, and he came to the person in charge and Colin: "The team searching in the west district of the city just found a
At the scene of the human sacrifice, the remains of six victims were found.”
"Marin, it seems that you have the qualifications to become a famous detective." Colin took a deep breath: "Mr. Michel, and Detective Lauan, let's go for a trip."
………………
The west area of the city is the most chaotic area of Carter Castle. It houses a large number of refugees - including war refugees fleeing from the north and the south, as well as poor people fleeing from other countries, coupled with the local poor and gangsters, all forces are intertwined.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that several people die every day, so there is basically not much security force in Chengxi District. Even if there is, it is a police force organized by the residents themselves, and police patrols only take the main road.
If it hadn't been for the disappearance of the Viscount's wife this time, it would have been impossible for them to turn the Western District upside down.
Marin also followed Colin to see the scenery, and Colin seemed to want his junior brother to see blood, so one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
As Colin approached the scene, Marin smelled a strong smell of rust.
Needless to say, it must be the fault of the unruly followers of the evil god, and only they would use innocent humanoid creatures as living sacrifices.
As soon as he followed him through the door, Marin saw the blasphemy and evil symbols written in blood. However, it seemed that the police also had good supernatural beings. They had already destroyed the symbols first, using paint and the like.
Something to erase certain phrases of profanity.
The scene had been destroyed, but Marin felt that if it had not been destroyed, all mortals at the scene would have been contaminated, so he could not blame that person for this.
The remains of Mr. Michel’s wife were quickly identified—according to Mr. Michel’s confirmation, the female skeleton with traces of growth on the left calf bone after fracture was his wife.
Such a tragic situation also caused the Viscount to lose the strength to stand several times, and he had to be helped out of the scene by the policeman.
"It's a standard living sacrifice, but the object of the sacrifice cannot be confirmed. It's not like those four people." Colin said after confirming the altar: "Who was the first to discover the scene." He asked.
"It's me." A middle-aged policeman came over, and Marin quickly confirmed that he had extraordinary power.
"While you are away, can this altar still be used?"
"It can be used, but because it spreads the power of blasphemy, I can only dismantle it, otherwise my colleagues will all die."
"I'm not blaming you for this, I just want to know if you can confirm it's a certain guy."
"No, we can't confirm who will be on the opposite side, but considering the number of sacrifices, we can summarize it as a sacrifice incident with at least six victims, and there are not many Chaos Evil Gods who require a large number of sacrifices at one time.
, so we can still slowly identify the target."
At this point, Colin had no other choice. Confirming the identity of the evil god through clues on the scene was not the forte of Marin and Colin, so he could only let professionals take charge.
After putting Mr. Michel into the carriage, Colin came to Marin: "You are doubting Michel, aren't you."
"Yes, I instinctively feel there is something wrong." Marin decided to trust his instinct: "Colin, even if all the evidence now proves Mr. Michel's innocence."
"Since it is suspicion, then don't say it. If one day you have a strong enough chain of evidence and you can kill him if you show it, then you can show your evidence openly, but you can't do it now.
