Chapter 441 Murder Case(2/2)
In fact, the most economical and trouble-free solution is to simply cancel it. However, for people here, the Harvest Festival is the most important festival of the year.
Just like you can’t stop going home to celebrate the New Year just because you’re worried about the number of pickpockets during the New Year, you still have to hold the festivals that need to be held.
Rhodes and Mira looked at each other and nodded: "So, the content of our mission is,
To guard against possible external enemies, right?"
"Um--Ah, yes." Jasper seemed a little hesitant again.
"Do you have anything else to add?" Rhodes asked, "Before confirming the start of the mission, it is best to explain everything clearly to avoid subsequent disputes."
"Ah, no more." Jasper said, "We will give you the reward, you can pay it first, there will be no disputes, please don't worry."
His performance made it difficult for Rhodes to rest assured, as if someone had set a trap for him.
Although they had doubts, they had no reason to refuse the mission now, so the two had no choice but to accept it and decided to be more careful.
Rhodes put the task list on the table: "Then the task has been established. Regarding the murder case, we hope to get more detailed information."
Jasper wondered: "Do I need to know that for the escort mission?"
Rhodes said: "Of course, if we can find out who the murderer is and solve him within one day, we will be done with it once and for all.
Even if you can't, you can at least learn about the opponent's magic, fighting methods and other information through clues, so that you can feel confident in case of a confrontation."
Jasper said with some embarrassment: "I only know that the businessman's name is Spike. For other information, you need to ask the town's security team."
This is true, the villagers are not Conan, and no one will just go to the murder scene casually, and naturally they will not know much about the case.
Rhodes said: "At least tell us where the crime scene is?"
'After leaving the village, walk east for about 2 kilometers. There is a road to the town there. Follow that road to the southwest for about two or three kilometers. But after so long, there should be nothing left, right?
"
"We'll have to take a look at this to find out." Rhodes stood up, "Then let's start working now."
"Ah, yes, you two will still stay at my house or in the same room as before. Do you want to take a rest and eat something first?"
"No need, let's go check out the scene while it's still dark. Just keep the room for us."
The two of them left the village chief's house and walked out of the village together.
Seeing that there was no one around, Mira asked, "Do you think anything is wrong with Mr. Village Chief?"
Rhodes said: "It's very wrong. I always feel like he's hiding something from us, and he speaks hesitantly."
"I feel the same way."
"Be more careful. We won't eat any of the tea, snacks, and food from his house.
I cook everything myself using the ingredients I brought.”
Rhodes felt that it was necessary to take precautions against such a suspicious behavior. Even if he had to eat, he had to first see if others were okay after eating.
The named mission sounds powerful, but it can also be easily used by others to harm the named magician.
High returns are also accompanied by high risks, which must be guarded against.
Mira said: "Have you forgotten? Poison is ineffective against demons."
Rhodes asked: "Are sleeping pills, anesthetics and the like also ineffective?"
Mira was silent for a moment, "It works."
"So, girls shouldn't drink other people's food when they go out.'
