Section 40: Money is never a hot item
Colin held his nose and walked into the underground area of the abandoned fort. Although he did not order all his troops to fight all the way last night, the Church of the Gods had already regarded the abandoned fort as a thorn in its side. Those who reported the problem before
There was something wrong with the informants. The church's representatives checked them overnight and found that their memories had either been altered or they were paid to make malicious accusations.
The former was immediately thrown into the treatment center - memory modification is a relatively dangerous technique. If it is a well-intentioned modification, more attention will be paid to the safety of the person being modified during the modification, but if it is a malicious modification, the modifier will
Enter some special memories into the mind of the person being modified. In addition to being used for deception, these modifications can also be used to kill the person being modified - the dead usually cannot speak.
But those who have received the money can easily handle it - just hang them.
With this level of information, early this morning, a group of technology hunters specially mobilized by the punishers from various churches and the liaison guild had entered the ruined fort area.
Then of course I came into contact with the alien species that Marin mentioned before.
Because of his reminder, Colin shared this information with the punishers of the Church of the Gods. The biggest fear in fighting alien species is not understanding, and as long as you understand the advantages and disadvantages of alien species, for the punishers and technology hunters,
It was really like going on an outing. Apart from a few unlucky ones who sprained their feet while going up the mountain and into the forest, there were no other injuries along the way.
"Colin, bad news, someone was here before we came in."
Standing at the entrance, the Commander of the Punisher of the Church of the God of Justice turned over the dead body leaning against the wall and said to Colin without looking back.
"The death did not last more than ten hours. The most likely death was at ten o'clock yesterday." Colin sighed as he looked at his old friend - he had dissected so many corpses with old Ferrero, but after just one glance, he let him
I think this person's death time should have been around twelve o'clock last night.
I took out my pocket watch and opened the cover. Well, it was nine eleven in the morning.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a robe from the Church of the God of Justice came over. He took over as the commander of the Punisher and confirmed the condition of the body. He first checked the limbs of the deceased, then pushed him flat and cut open his buttocks.
He glanced at the purple-red corpse spots on his skin and said, "Commander Camilla, the time of death of this person should be from 11 o'clock last night to 1 o'clock this morning."
"Although I don't want to admit how powerful your kid is, to be honest, you are more reliable than the coroner." Camilla chose to believe what Colin said.
"I have seen a lot of Mr. Ferrero. His body spots are concentrated on his buttocks and lower legs, which proves that this is the first scene of death. There is a hole in his forehead that was penetrated by an unknown object. The murderer should be a very strong man.
That guy, and the weapon in his hand was also very sharp. After killing him with one blow, the deceased slid and sat down against the wall." Looking at the somewhat puzzled representative of the God of Justice, Colin explained with a smile.
"Yes, you are right, but why can you confirm the time of death before confirming the body spots?"
"I could feel an obvious chill when I walked down. It was colder and hotter here than outside. The deceased was not obese, so the body temperature of the deceased would drop faster than that of an obese person after death. Similarly, because of the cold, the body temperature of the deceased would decrease after death.
It will also fall faster, and rigor mortis has spread throughout his body. When I just watched Camilla check his fingers, they were already so hard that he needed to squeeze them to open his palms, even with the temperature here.
It's colder than outside, and that's when it's needed
It will take time for it to become like this." Colin walked to the corpse and squatted down. He opened the corpse's hand: "The most important thing is that in my spiritual vision, the temperature of the corpse has completely dissipated.
The area also takes time, and when Marin and the others confirmed that there was a problem with the abandoned fort and began to escape, it was when the sun was setting. It was around 7:30 at night, that is to say, at 7:30 last night
These people must still be alive when they are divided."
The coroner still has some questions, and Colin will of course answer them: "The most important point is that Marin told us that the aliens used outflanking tactics against them last night, and we made contact with those aliens for the first time this morning.
It was two hours ago. From that time on, the alien species have been fighting us on their own.
So I think it is very likely that they will be dead before seven ten." After saying that, Colin lit a cigarette for himself.
Camilla on the side smiled and clapped her hands: "That's an interesting reasoning, Colin. It's really a pity that you don't come to the Church of Justice. You have the potential to become a famous detective."
"But I never thought about being a famous detective." Colin waved his hand, and then handed another cigarette to the coroner: "You are already very powerful, which means you lost in intelligence."
"Okay, let's move on."
Accepting Camilla's invitation, Colin followed him inside with a smile.
Along the way, there were dead bodies everywhere. The cultists used various embarrassing and uninhibited ways to die to interpret the last period of the poem that belonged to each other's destiny. At the end of the underground area, Colin saw five cultists dead on the ground.
.
"I seem to recognize a guy." Glancing at the deceased holding a dagger, Camilla kicked him in the head and looked at his face: "Isn't this the guy named Sher who is wanted by your church?
Don Caschico's guy."
"He is also a wanted criminal in your church. Someone killed him but did not take away the loot that belonged to him. This guy can get 1,200 yuan just for being on the wanted list of our two churches, including the previous ones.
Smelly fish and rotten shrimp, it’s worth at least two thousand yuan." Colin put his hands on his hips, somewhat confused about the situation: "Why didn’t the person who killed them come to receive the reward?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because two thousand yuan is too cheap, and it's not worth it for him to go out of his way to chop off their heads." Camilla frowned: "Detective, do you have anything to say."
"I'm just a eulogist at level 6 of the Harvest Goddess Church's Priestly Sequence. I think you're making things difficult for me, Camilla."
"If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten that you are the eulogist, Mr. Great Detective."
When the venomous talk between friends reached this point, Colin suddenly noticed a bullet casing on the ground: "The bullet casing may be a very good breakthrough point." He picked up the bullet casing, took a look, and then threw it to Karami's
In arms.
The latter took a look: "There is no production mark on the shell. We can't even confirm whether it was made by dwarves or humans. It is a completely useless clue. Why are you throwing it to me?"
"That's why you are still only on the 7th ladder of the Church of the God of Justice, while I am the 6th ladder." Colin twitched his lips skillfully: "See the impact point of the firing pin at the tail of its missile body.
?”
"I saw it. Is there anything wrong with it?" Camilla said and looked at it again: "It's a very normal impact point. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"The trace of the impact point is hexagonal. This is the new Romeo 1418 rotary gun just launched by Constance Military Factory this year. The firing pin happens to be hexagonal. It is the latest type of firing pin. There has been no such thing before.
Similar designs, those southern guys at Constance even boasted about this, saying that such a firing pin can ignite the primer better and reduce the dud rate by at least 6%. I recently wanted to buy a new gun, and I took a special look at it.
I checked their advertising paper, but it’s too expensive. A silver-infiltrated demon-breaking revolver with inscriptions costs 1,500 yuan. It’s not as good as our church’s self-made revolver, so I think we can
Use their supply history to see who has purchased it recently in our Fort Carter and surrounding areas.”
"A good breakthrough... No, how did you know?" Camilla confirmed this, and when he raised his head, his face was full of enthusiasm: "I told you, you are really suitable to be a detective! Colin
! Come to our church! Be my Watson!”
Speaking of Watson, this is a popular detective novel recently popular in Carter Castle and surrounding areas. Sherlock Holmes, a panthroan, the detective in the top step 4 of the detective sequence, he has a half-elf.
The adventures of Sidney United Central Province with friend John Watson.
There are four stories in one volume, and each story is a fascinating case investigation. Colin inquired and heard that 7,000 copies of the first volume have been sold out. Not only are there readers in Sidney United, but the book has even been distributed to
The Eastern Human Kingdom has gone there, so now the second seal has been arranged. The printing industry in Carter Castle has never faced this kind of challenge - a total of 40,000 books, of which 70% are book bindings. This is why the printing industry bosses
The reason for such a headache.
And in Colin's opinion, the author must be a provincial person, because he knows many things about the central government, such as funny jokes and living habits that only provincial people understand.
Because of its excellent writing, it is very popular among detectives and other detectives. Even ordinary readers will be obsessed with the relationship between Mr. Sherlock and Miss Jane Moriarty - both enemies and friends.
He is a leader in the detective world, the king of cold jokes, a representative of the aloof aristocracy, a genius in the criminal world, a thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, and is also a member of the ordinary civilians.
From time to time, the two sides will show the interaction of falling in love and killing each other in the story - because Mr. Sherlock never cares about reputation, his achievements will even be given to the police by himself as a credit, so each other does not know the other's true situation.
Miss Jane Moriarty even became Mr. Sherlock Holmes's laundry maid.
Although some people think that this kind of identity arrangement is not good, to be honest, Colin also likes this kind of story very much. As for why he likes it - because it resonates with it.
"No, I just think that if I were Mr. Sherlock, then I would never regard you as my John Watson, because you really can't do anything useful, and you can even do the opposite." Colin said
He rolled his eyes, and then added: "You know, I put this line
I'll leave it to you, I'm doing this all for your own good. If you know it, it's for your own good." He would not confess Marin - his reasoning was all based on a chat with Marin, he said
You can use the impact mark of the firing pin to confirm which gun fired a certain bullet.
