Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 170-171 Doubt
The next morning, the cold was still there, and Qingdao, which was as round as rice dumplings, struggled to shovel away the snow due to the damn weather. There was already some lively scenes on the streets, and the gorgeous carriages of officials were hurriedly passing by.
There was mud and splashing on the road, and the cleaner cursed secretly: "Why are these people rushing to be reincarnated today after all their family members died?"
There are obvious signs of an increase in the number of military police and city defense guards. They are patrolling back and forth in full force with neat steps and serious expressions. When they see homeless people half-frozen to death on the roadside, they will ask questions and beat those who don't like them. Illida
There was a tense and solemn atmosphere in the city.
The scavenger suddenly had a bad premonition and thought to himself: "Seeing that these guys are facing a powerful enemy, they are so active on duty in such a cold weather. It's a bit extraordinary. Could it be that the orcs are attacking unilaterally?" But he
There was no trace of panic on the faces of the surrounding passers-by. Everyone seemed a little excited. Yes, excited. They seemed to be watching the neighbor couple fighting. Everyone was whispering to each other and looking forward to it inexplicably. What on earth is going on?
A newspaper boy hawking along the street solved the doubts in the scavenger's mind. "The latest issue of "Phoenix and River Daily" provides a direct look at the bloody massacre at the Holy Light Cathedral! Witnesses narrated the story, and the person involved, Count Ernest, analyzed the psychological process.
Attached are pictures of the scene! The Sheriff of the Cathedral District analyzes the ten possibilities of the murderer! The Prime Minister’s speech on this case! Come and buy it, it’s only seven coins! For seven coins you can see the latest update of the bloody tragedy
News! Come on, there are only the last ten copies left!"
The scavenger couldn't restrain his curiosity, wiped the sweat from his forehead, put down his shovel and shouted: "Young man, bring me a newspaper." In a blink of an eye, the newsboy sold three more newspapers, handed him one, and took the money.
"Hey, can you tell me what happened?"
"What? Don't you know what happened yesterday afternoon?" The newsboy looked at him as if he were a fool: "Earl Ernest held a wedding for his daughter at the Holy Light Cathedral, and guess what? Miss Nicole was murdered on the spot!
Darling, it’s amazing. It’s so exciting. I won’t say it any more. I just picked up a hundred newspapers and they were sold out in the blink of an eye. I have to rush back to the club!”
"It seems a bit exciting." The scavenger muttered, found a clean place to sit down by the nearby flowerbed, shook out the newspaper and read it carefully.
The headline on the front page was a row of shocking bold red characters: "Shocking Case: Earl Ernest's beloved daughter died tragically at the wedding ceremony." The subtitle was "Love Murder or Vendetta? Robbery of Wealth or Robbery of Sex?" He was shocked on the spot.
Read on carefully: "At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 17th. When the festive bell of salvation rang, the guests at the wedding venue at the Holy Light Cathedral were filled with joy and prepared to welcome the bride. However, a full half hour passed, and they did not
When there was no figure, the groom blessed by the holy light stood anxiously beside the altar. Soon after, all they saw in the dressing room was a blood-stained corpse. Count Ernest lost control of his emotions and fainted for a time...
Our reporter overcame many obstacles and found through on-site interviews that the dressing room was surrounded by guards. It was impossible to know the specific facts. Miss Alice, the maid who first walked into the dressing room at the murder scene, said that Miss Nicole's death was horrific and her neck was
It was artificially twisted, with his tongue hanging out and his eyes wide open. He seemed to be dying with no peace of mind. The autopsy doctor will issue an autopsy report in two days."
The scavenger couldn't help but cursed: "Kill even Miss Nicole! Who is the murderer? Why not kill that old bastard Earl Ernest too!"
Turning to another page, another reporter interviewed the guests about their thoughts after that day. They also quoted local well-informed people’s speculations about the case itself. There was a picture that was a blurry photo of the scene taken with a light and shadow memory crystal. Only the busy guards could be seen.
Figure, the photo of the corpse that readers are most interested in does not have one.
"Who Killed Miss Nicole?": "The incident just happened, and we have not yet received official confirmation of the matter. Perhaps those big men are reminiscing about Miss Nicole's youthful beauty? As we all know, the socialite Miss Nicole has several
She was a lover with a complicated relationship. She died tragically at the wedding. We think it was most likely a murder of love. The abandoned person with a grudge was looking for revenge? What kind of twists and turns were there? Oh, this can become the subject of a horror novel.
So let’s see what the local Sheriff has to say about this…”
The scavenger became more and more happy as he watched, slapping his thigh and shouting: "Good kill! Is this considered the Holy Light's sanction against the Ernest family?"
Then he turned to the last page of the newspaper: "As of last night, rumors have begun to appear in some pubs. Many people claim that the case is led by an organization called the Dark Sunflower Club in order to be played by Miss Nicole.
Little Mario, the son of a fisherman whose relationship was broken up and his family was ruined, seeks revenge. So far, this newspaper has not obtained strong evidence to prove that it was the Dark Sunflower Club. The defense commander, Mr. Alona, said that little Mario himself has disappeared, and it seems that he is the key to the matter."
The scavenger murmured: "Dark Sunflower Club?"
The murder of Miss Nicole, the daughter of Count Ernest, at her wedding shocked the entire city of Elida.
The impact of this case is far-reaching. On the one hand, Ernest is an old aristocratic force. Although he is not in his position, there are many details and complicated relationships. If it is used, it will have a big reaction. Secondly, the in-laws
Baron Angus was very angry and vowed to catch the murderer. This Baron Angus was the warden of Elida City and had a lot of power in his hands. The officialdom changed all the year round, and those who lost power stepped down and were even thrown into prison.
, at this time, they needed the care of the warden, and many people regained power after losing power. Naturally, they were very grateful to him for taking care of him back then, and gradually weaved a network of relationships, and they were very talkative. His son's fiancée actually turned out to be
Being killed under the eyes of the church is absolutely unforgivable! Thirdly, the case occurred in the Holy Light Cathedral, and the Holy See's face was damaged, so it was impossible to stay aloof.
The bishop issued a statement on behalf of the Holy See that night: "Holy Light, this is a tragic incident. On this sad day, I deeply express my condolences to Earl Ernest. The Holy See will never tolerate this kind of blasphemy.
Holy Light's behavior, the murderer violated the law and the Holy Light Religion
Will be punished. May Heavenly Father bless every one of his people who love him."
Due to multiple pressures, the cabinet had to express concern about the matter, but because the time was too short, they have not yet reached a conclusion. It is said that the cabinet defense department is holding an emergency meeting under the instructions of the Prime Minister.
Early in the morning, many people had gathered in the tavern. They were not shocked or angry as the newspapers said. They were very excited and celebrating. The tavern owner also reduced the price of drinks by 50%. Ernest used his power to kill
The matter of little Mario's parents has been rumored for a long time, and finally the results have been seen. The legendary Dark Sunflower Club has indeed lived up to its reputation.
"Cheers! To the justice of the Holy Light! To the Dark Sunflower Club!"
…
Little Mario wandered the streets near Diamond Rose Castle all night, and was almost beaten to death by patrolling guards who thought he was a thief. In the end, he urgently said that he had friendship with Mr. Adam, the spokesperson of the Dark Sunflower Society, and was brought back.
Hamar knows this young man. Isn't he one of the leading actors in the church massacre? It is necessary to take him to see Saga.
The sadness and indignation on little Mario's face has disappeared. It has been replaced by firmness and calmness, with a shaggy beard and a gloomy expression, like a death row prisoner who has just been pardoned.
Troy, who was moving things in the hall to prepare for decoration, called out: "Hey! Old Hammar, who is he?"
"Don't you really want to see the lover who loves Miss Nicole? It's him."
Little Mario retorted in a deep voice: "No, I understand Miss Nicole's true face. She will never cause ripples in my heart again."
Troy stretched out his hand to him: "Congratulations, boy, you are currently an official two-star wanted target."
"I'm honored." Little Mario said lightly.
"Oh, I didn't expect this kid's psychological quality to be quite strong. Many people currently think that you are the key to solving the case. Many people want to catch you and then hurry up. Aren't you afraid of being hanged?"
"Don't be afraid, they will never get what they want."
Under the leadership of Hamal, he walked through the dark corridor. The calm little Mario's heart began to beat violently. He was about to meet again the leader of the Dark Sunflower Society, the terminator of the fate of the nobles. The man who completed his revenge for him
, and also the kind godfather Mr. Saga.
Just like fans meeting Vijerom, believers meeting the Pope, and a young civil servant being received by the Prince Regent, this feeling is extremely nerve-wracking. Little Mario pinched his thigh hard and grinned in pain.
Cursing secretly: "***, if you are still shaking, I will saw you off!"
It was still the same gloomy room. The godfather was telling a story to Del, making the little girl giggle non-stop and crawl around in his arms. The scene was very warm. Little Mario couldn't believe that this was how he was deciding others while talking and laughing.
Destiny of the gangster.
Hamar said respectfully: "Sir, the guards found Mr. Mario outside. I think you may need to see him."
Shen Zhimo didn't look back: "Give him a sum of money and let him leave Elida City to avoid the limelight and come back after two or three years."
Little Mario got the courage from nowhere and shouted: "No, sir, please let me join you. I can't leave here like a coward! Please!"
"Really? Do you think you have the ability to be on par with my warriors? To be honest, I have no shortage of manpower at the moment."
Little Mario said excitedly: "Sir, you will find me very useful. The most important thing is that Count Ernest is not dead yet, and my father's blood cannot be shed in vain."
Shen Zhimo pinched Dai'er's cheek and said: "How can I believe that you are not a loser? The Dark Sunflower Society does not need to eat people waiting to die."
"I swear that I will be your most loyal servant."
"Okay, boy, we are all a group of desperadoes and can give our lives at any time. In fact, you can have another life."
Little Mario said firmly: "Sir, please..."
Shen Zhimo rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said: "Old Hamar, you take this young man to Aubrey and let Aubrey train him. If there is no result within three months, drive him away. Don't
waste time."
To show his loyalty and enthusiasm for progress, little Mario almost swore to the sky: "Yes, sir, I will never waste your time. Just wait, I will become the most useful person in the Dark Sunflower Society."
After the two left, Dai'er tilted her head and asked: "Uncle Saga, that man just now was so weird. What did he do here?"
"He is a lost lamb."
…
A few days later, Shen Zhimo received a notification from the Ministry of Defense, detailing the cabinet's determination to pursue the church murder case. Defense commander Mosheo Elona was put in charge of the case. All urban police officers were asked to cooperate.
Obtained the commander's file information from Saxon, Mosho*Elona, now 12 years old, was born in the Sky Guard of the Royal Order of Griffins. According to the official description, he is brave in combat, thoughtful in thinking, careful and persevering, and has
He has a strong sense of justice and a firm belief in the Holy Light. In addition, he is also a viscount, with a wealthy family, stable income, and dozens of followers. He owns two fields, three properties, and has a beautiful wife who is more than ten years younger than him.
and a pair of adorable twin boys.
At present, the griffin knight Rodan is in charge of all matters of the public security office. Shen Zhimo feels bored and rarely stays there to work. He only shows his face to collect management fees at the end of the month. He meditates in the study for half an hour. The second in the security team
Squad leader Clark came to report: "Sir, Sir Rodan, if you have something to do, please go to the police station quickly."
"What happened?" Shen Zhimo felt something was wrong.
Clark said respectfully: "Defense Commander Elona wants to see you."
Shen Zhimo frowned secretly. As expected, Elona had two brushes. He must have found some clues. Due to lack of consideration at the Holy Light Cathedral that day, he was done in a hurry, which inevitably left many traces. As long as he is an experienced veteran,
You can focus your doubts on yourself.
Strictly speaking, the defense commander is still the superior of the Sheriff. He must follow any instructions, Shen Zhimo
If you live in Chun Shui Street, you can't do anything too outrageous. "Okay, Ronner."
Before Elona's butt was warm, Shen Zhimo rushed to the police station. Diamond Rose Castle was at the end of the street, only ten minutes away by carriage. This middle-aged man had a beard on his chin, a high nose bridge, and dark blue eyes.
, with a serious expression, wearing heavy armor, and the metal inlay on his waist was very strong. It was very uncomfortable to sit on the chair, and he waited impatiently. There were eight guards outside the door who he had brought personally.
Shen Zhimo walked into the office, took off his top hat and threw it on the coat rack ten meters away. He sat down behind the desk and said, "Clark, give Mr. Ailona a glass of water." Then he asked Ailon.
Na stretched out his hand to say hello: "Dear Commander, it is a great honor to meet you. You are most welcome to inspect the public security management work in this city." He has a badge on his chest, and you can know his identity without special introduction.
Elona didn't stand up and said coldly: "Oh, it's Mr. Saga, hello, I'm here to investigate the case today."
As expected, those who come are not kind, and those who are kind will not come. Shen Zhimo had no intention of giving him a good look. He immediately crossed his legs and turned away to light a cigarette, leaving Elona stunned for half a minute before he grew taller.
He puffed out a puff of white smoke and said slowly: "Really? What case are you investigating? Do you need my help?"
Elona looked directly into his eyes: "The murder of Holy Light Cathedral! Mr. Saga was also present at the wedding that day?"
At this time, Clark brought a glass of water, placed it heavily on the table, water splashed everywhere, and said in a loud voice: "Sir, please use it."
Elona picked up the cup to drink, and suddenly found that the water was cold and icy, the liquid was turbid, the color was ugly, and there was a dead fly lying at the bottom of the cup. He couldn't help but be very angry. As a defense commander, regardless of
In which city police station did you go to, and the sheriffs didn't treat you with sincerity and bring out the best things? This guy was so rude, even a glass of water seemed to be fished out of the gutter. The little soldier carrying the water was too
No more eyesight?
It turns out that Shen Zhimo and his guards had discussed the secret code. As long as a guest came to the door, if he said "serve the guest tea" or "serve coffee", it meant that the guards would treat the guest well and not neglect them. If he said "come up"
"Water", then there is no need to be polite. This person is definitely the target that the commander needs to humiliate. You can use whatever tricks you have. Clark knows in his heart that Elona is not a good bird and is specifically looking for trouble for the commander. Although
His position is higher, but there is no need to be afraid.
Shen Zhimo gave Clark an appreciative look and pretended to be surprised: "Commander, he invited me to attend the wedding of Earl Ernest's daughter, and I was naturally present. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"What were you wearing that day?"
Shen Zhimo sneered in his heart: The good guy really suspected him. He didn't do it very carefully. The guards and makeup artists at the door saw him going in last. It would be easy to check. He remained calm.
He smiled and said: "Of course it's an evening dress. Commander, do you have any questions? The murder in the church shocked me so much. Even Miss Nicole, a beautiful person, could be killed by someone. Don't worry, our Thorn Bird City District will definitely cooperate."
Where do you want to start investigating your work? Okay, I will now order all guards to conduct a large-scale investigation and strive to find suspicious persons as soon as possible."
Elona asked instead: "Where were you that day? What did you do? I need to know these things."
"Yes, sir Yingming. Let me recall, oh, I remembered. I was in the area behind the chapel. I was very excited and had been waiting for the bride. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the shadow, and then I heard that
With such a big thing happening, I can only express my deepest condolences to Earl Ernest and hope that he will not be too sad."
"Really? What style and color were you wearing that day?"
"Me?" Shen Zhimo thought hard: "It's a black tuxedo. Sir, do you doubt me?"
Elona slammed the table and shouted: "Why are you pretending! You are the murderer! Tell me honestly, what is your motive for the crime and why did you murder Miss Nicole?" The force was so strong that the table shook and the cup tipped over.
, the dead flies inside flowed out.
Shen Zhimo sneered and put out his cigar: "Sir, if you don't have evidence, don't slander me. Be careful if I go to the church to accuse you of tarnishing the justice of the Holy Light. By the way, why do you think I am the murderer?"
"Does this need to be said? I checked almost all the guests on site. During the time when the crime occurred, you did not stay in the church and no one knew your whereabouts. According to the makeup artist's recollection, she saw a man wearing
Tall men in black tuxedos entered the dressing room and were about the same size as you. Miss Nicole asked them to leave. In other words, you will have at least five minutes of alone time together. During this time, whatever you do is enough."
Shen Zhimo smiled faintly: "Hey, don't put shit on my head. I didn't see you in the church that day at the wedding. Do you have any hidden secrets?"
Elona slapped the table louder: "What? I didn't go to the wedding at all. What do you mean by this? Am I still a murderer?" The soldiers waiting outside looked quietly and secretly paid attention to the dispute between the two.
.
Shen Zhimo simply crossed his legs and said calmly: "Yeah, it's even more doubtful that you didn't go to the wedding. I clearly remember that Earl Ernest sent you an invitation, but you didn't attend. Could it be that you and him
Is there a grudge? Oh, yes, yes, killing his daughter to vent your anger is in line with your point of view. This is a standard vendetta. Earlier, the newspapers speculated that it was a love killing. I was wrong. By the way, I also heard about Miss Nicole.
There are corpses that have been raped after death. Sir, I didn’t expect that you still like this tune. I admire you.”
