PS: I've been so busy these past two days that I've been vomiting blood...why are I so busy even after I've finished my exams? There will be OTL classes tomorrow

After Wei Jier left, Su Zuo immediately sat up from the bed.
"It's not okay to get out of bed now." Knaitin was writing something at the desk. He glanced at Suzuo with a serious expression, but did not stand up from the chair.
"Before the toxicity attack, I was a healthy and normal person, and there was no problem if I moved around."
Su Zuo stretched his waist and had no intention of lying back down.
"By the way, Master Kneiting, has Sheriff Cromwell discussed the manpower shortage issue with you before?"
"Why are you asking this?" Knedin raised her head and glanced at Su Zuo, but maybe because Su Zuo looked very young, she didn't think much about it, "Yes, yes, what's the matter?"
"Then do you still remember if there was anything unusual about him at that time? For example, he wanted to get something, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time?"
Su Zuo smiled innocently, but apart from his tone, there was not a single word in what he said that a child of his age might say.
"It seems there is." Kneiting used the pen holder to hold the ribbon of the headscarf. "It should be that after the doctrine lecture a month ago, the chief of security talked to me about the issue of security manpower in Wenning District, but it seems that it was lost.
Something, I hurriedly went out once in the middle of the trip, and I couldn’t seem to find it back.”
Su Zuo nodded. It seemed that what Cromwell told Wei Jier was at least partially true, but this alone was not enough to clear him of suspicion. After all, it did not rule out that he had already considered it a few months ago.
The possibility of being exposed - or in other words, these outsiders have been unable to see through such a simple trick as the Corpse Smasher Demon for months, so it makes people think they are under the halo of being mentally retarded, right?
After Su Zuo confirmed this, he still had other things he wanted to confirm.
"So, Master Knedin, do you have any impression of this person?"
Su Zuo verbally described the image of the man. After listening to it, Knaitin blurted it out without even thinking -
"That Baptist brother comes to the doctrinal sermons almost every week. Is there any problem?"
"Oh..." Su Zuo nodded, secretly confirming in his heart——
With the addition of Lamberts, it seems that there is another person to be suspected.
.
The genius was bright, and Lang Xue, dressed in gray robe, lowered his head and walked on the road holding a frozen pear in his arms.
She knew that sometimes in winter, the fruit traders of the Chamber of Commerce would bury the pears in the snow in the corner of the yard, because this not only played a storage role, but also made the pears more delicious.
However, although the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce is much taller than the surrounding houses, it still cannot stop a talented thief like Lang Xue. Therefore, without even the Chamber of Commerce itself noticing, he freezes in the yard every year.
There will always be dozens of frozen pears.
"Ah~~I'm so exhausted. It's finally over."
Suddenly, a small human voice came from a distance. Lang Xue's ears hidden under her long gray hair twitched slightly. The subtle trembling in the air was equivalent to clear words in her ears.
"There's nothing going on today. Do you think the murderer was frightened by Captain Nochakin and never dared to show up again?"
"It's not certain. He might just be recuperating from his injuries, but after killing so many civilians and police officers, it wouldn't be that big of a deal to not arrest him and throw him to the inquisitor to be beheaded."
"Ah... He is so strong, who can catch him... Anyway, I don't want to meet him. You don't know that Oud's team is miserable..."
The four-person security patrol team was hiding in the shadows of the alley. Lang Xue used her lake-green eyes to quietly stare at the security officers walking slowly outside on the street while talking.
Since the corpse-dismembered murderer incident, the presence of the Sheriff in Wenning District has suddenly become stronger. However, not all residents of Wenning District are happy with this change. At least Lang Xue has always been worried about this kind of income.
Zero's life is not very happy.
Su Zuo gave her all the money necessary for her recent life, and Lang Xue herself has not obtained money through methods other than stealing for several weeks. And the best time she stole something in Wenning District was
To a dozen copper coins, this is far from enough.
When the sheriff patrolled over, Langxue patted the snow on his body and stood up.
To be honest, she doesn't like killing, and now she has someone she cares about, and the person she cares about is opposed to her killing, so she hasn't killed anyone for a long time, but after all, she is a wolf living in Wenning District
, instead of a stray dog. The life she now has without any contribution and being unilaterally supported by Su Zuo makes her unable to accept the pride and dignity in her heart.
But Lang Xue didn't say anything. She hugged the frozen pear in her arms a little tighter. She thought that it would be great if she could pass the magical examination and go to the lower area. Her body was better than those tall short-lived men.
If you still have the strength, you can definitely earn much more copper coins than them.
.
Virgil walked quietly in the alley alone. The two sheriff's deputies who followed her had been sent back by Virgil. She wandered alone in the alley, checking Wenning District without attracting attention.
Check the alley corners to see if there are any omissions.
Indeed, there have been no new murders in the past week, but in Wei Jier's heart, it is not as easy as other sheriffs. Should it be said that it is the calm before the storm? She has such a premonition.
Cromwell did not give her a new chance to test. Although he was suspicious, Virgil could not find the key evidence. On the other hand, Lamberts' recent movements were also calm. At present, except for his arm injury,
Apart from this incident, he has no other suspicions. Therefore, his suspicion is undoubtedly much smaller than that of Cromwell.
But no matter how small the suspicion is, it is still a suspicion. So Wei Jieer suddenly found that, except for Su Zuo and Sister Kneiting who did not really get into this incident, she could not find anyone else who could.
People who understand each other.
After the long winter night, the outdoor temperature still stayed at more than 40 degrees below zero. The magic power flowing in her body naturally surrounded Weijier with the fire element, and the cold temperature could not cause any actual damage to her.
For Wei Jier, who is a high-level magic swordsman, this is something that can be done easily, and once she steps through the Fence of Truth, let alone ordinary temperature changes, in a combat state, even
It's just a few fireballs from the front, but it's nothing against the truth-level fire elemental protection.
Turning her head and scanning the dead end on the left, Wei Jieer turned to the other side without looking. She has been walking around in these alleys every day for three months. She can say that she has already mastered the terrain near the patrol route.
Already familiar with it.
But a little accident happened today.
"Ah!" Wei Jier was startled when she was hit by someone.
But the other party just quickly took a few steps back without making any sound.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't look at the road..." Wei Jier apologized subconsciously. This happened to be a corner, and it seemed that the other party didn't notice anyone on the opposite side.
After bowing her head and apologizing, Wei Jier had the opportunity to see the other person's face clearly.
It was a gray-haired girl about a head shorter than her.
Her long hair is messy and gray, but even so, it can be seen that her hair is of good quality and hangs down smoothly against her head. In order to prevent it from being blown around by the wind, she also uses the gray hair on her neck to prevent it from being blown around.
The scarf was wrapped tightly.
She was wearing an equally inconspicuous gray cloth robe, and the hard leather bag she was holding in her arms was wrinkled, and it could be seen that it had been used for a long time.
As if to resist the severe cold, she covered most of her face with a scarf. The moisture from her breath formed frost on the scarf, leaving only her lake-green eyes hidden faintly under her bangs.
"Are you okay?" Weijier subconsciously reached out her hand, wanting to get closer to the gray-haired girl who seemed a little timid, but she didn't want to be pushed away by her.
"..." The gray-haired girl lowered her head, rushed past Wei Jier, and escaped quickly.
"You're still running around in such a cold weather." Wei Jie'er was pushed unprepared and staggered. She looked at her right hand with some doubts. She always felt that the girl's strength was a bit abnormal, but this was probably
It was her illusion, "But since it's already dawn, nothing should happen."
She shook her head, turned around and was about to leave, but her steps stiffened and she suddenly stopped in place.
The remembered voice echoes in my mind.
——Thanks to the mud on the ground, it can be seen that the murderer is about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall——
——The cause of death was the twisting of the cervical vertebrae. The murderer’s wrist was very strong, and all the fractures were instantaneous. The victims could not even put up much resistance——
"Could it be——" Wei Jier suddenly remembered the unsolved case three months ago, but was delayed by the corpse-shattering demon incident. When she thought of this, she no longer hesitated, turned around and followed the footsteps left by the girl, quickly
He chased after him.
But until she reached the main road where the ground was frozen solid, she could not see the figure of the gray-haired girl again.
