Master Tongtian

night.

Rosen ran to the entrance of Alley No. 1 and saw two guards holding torches standing at the entrance of the alley.

After seeing Rosen, a guard immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Kid, stop running around and go home quickly!"

Rosen pointed to the alley: "But my family lives in this alley."

"In this alley? What number do you live in?"

"No. 89, Thrandis' cabin."

The two guards looked at each other, and the guard who spoke earlier looked Rosen up and down, and suddenly said: "Are you the new magic apprentice of Thrandis?"

"Yes, I am." Rosen felt something was wrong.

"Oh~~"

The guard's face suddenly showed a look of sympathy.

"Then you are really unlucky. But luckily among the misfortunes, you still have a friend in Mr. Chaballet."

With that said, he moved away: "Go in, Mr. Chabolai is inside, he has been looking for you."

Entering the alley, and quickly arriving near No. 89, Lane 1, I found that the home protection spell of Thrandis' cabin had been forcibly removed and the door had been opened.

The door of the cabin was brightly lit, and there were torches everywhere. There was a large group of people standing around the cabin. At a rough count, there were more than twenty people.

Many people entered the house and moved things out of the house.

Most of them were guards from the City Public Security Department, and there were three well-dressed people standing at the door, two men and one woman.

Judging from their attire, one of the men should be Rafale, the police constable of the south city market, while the other man and woman are dressed as mages. They should be battle mages sent by the mages' guild to assist in handling the case.

In the corner, Rosen saw Chabolai and Olek.

The two stood against the wall, one dejected and the other acting calm and indifferent.

Chabolai also saw Rosen.

He rushed to him like a tank, grabbed his arm, and quickly looked at Rosen. His hands were still groping up and down his body, and he was mumbling.

"Hmm~ Blessed by the golden god, it's intact. It's so good! I said, where did you go at night? You scared me to death!"

Rosen didn't have time to reminisce about the past, so he quickly explained: "I heard the mess outside, so I ran out to take a look."

Without waiting for a response, he immediately asked, "Uncle, what's going on? People on the street say my mentor is the murderer."

Xia Bolay's face suddenly showed a look of extreme pain. He gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence from between his teeth.

"I really misjudged her!"

When Rosen saw this situation, he seemed to be even angrier than when he was at the river. He felt something was wrong and quickly asked.

"Say it quickly, uncle!"

Chabolai pulled Rosen to the wall and pointed to a pile of glass jars placed at the door of the wooden house, with a look of pain on his face.

"They were all found in the house. You can see for yourself."

Rosen squinted and took a closer look.

Each glass jar is cylindrical, about twenty centimeters high and a dozen centimeters thick. The glass material is average and the transparency is very poor. The jar is filled with a light yellow transparent solution, and there are strange-shaped black particles floating in the solution. film.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Xia Bolai explained in a low voice.

"The Marbury embalming fluid, those black things in it are men's things, there are 13 in total, which corresponds to the 13 murdered men."

Rosen also saw it clearly and felt a little shocked for a moment: "Where did you find all this?"

Before Xia Bolay could answer, a woman's voice came from beside him.

"In the small cubicle on the second floor, there are not only these jars, but also blood-stained leather clothes, sharp knives and a complete set of antiseptic tools."

Rosen looked up and found that the person speaking was the female mage.

She looked quite young, in her early thirties, with an upper-middle appearance and thick black hair. She was very tall, even taller than Thrandis.

Without waiting for Rosen to ask, she walked over and began to introduce herself.

"My name is Veronica, an intermediate battle mage from the Mage Guild. My task is to assist in the investigation of the murder case at this gathering."

Rosen saluted quickly: "Ms. Veronica, Apprentice Rosen, I greet you."

Veronica nodded in response, then sighed softly, with a sad look on her face.

"I really didn't expect something like this to happen. What Thrandis did not only brought shame to the Silver Moon Castle Mage Guild, but also ruined her own future."

These words were very strong, almost confirming Thrandis' crime.

Rosen's heart skipped a beat: "The framer really planned it carefully, and all the witnesses and physical evidence were present."

At this time, everything is pale.

But that doesn't mean you can't do anything.

After thinking for a while, Rosen asked: "Ms. Veronica, can you let me come in and take a look around?"

Veronica looked embarrassed.

Chabolai immediately stood up to help plead.

"Veronica, he is a half-year-old child. He will definitely feel uncomfortable when encountering such a big event. Just let him take a look. Nothing will be missing."

"Okay, but you can only look at it, not touch it, so as not to damage the evidence. Of course, you can't interfere with other people's handling of the case."

"I remember."

Rosen took a deep breath and walked towards the pile of evidence at the door of the cabin.

He observed one thing at a time, from all angles, and as close as possible until he confirmed that he had observed everything in all directions, then turned around and walked into the wooden house.

The moment he entered the room, he turned his head slightly, paused in his steps, and let the corner of his eye cover the bounty hunter Orek beside the wall.

Afterwards, he entered the house, first on the first floor, and walked quietly through the kitchen, small room, and living room, observing every corner, including the walls, floors, windows, and even the ceiling.

I looked at the first floor, then the stairs, and finally the second floor, especially the cubicles.

After making sure that he didn't miss any corner, he left the cabin.

Returning to the open space at the door of the wooden house, Rosen looked heavy and silent.

Chabolai thought he had received a serious blow, so he patted his shoulder gently and comforted him softly.

"It's my fault for this. I don't know people well. Not only did I put you in a dangerous situation, but I also caused you to encounter such a bad thing."

"Let's take it easy for a few days, and then I'll find you a new spell instructor."

Rosen nodded slightly: "Thank you, uncle."

Veronica had been standing nearby. After hearing Chabolai's words, she took a step closer.

"Xia Bolay, I have heard you tell a lot about Rosen's deeds recently, which makes me feel that he is a very smart young man. If you don't dislike him, I would like to continue teaching him."

After saying that, he quickly added: "Of course, the tuition cannot be reduced. But for the sake of my friends, I can give you a 20% discount."

Xia Bolay looked up at her and curled his lips slightly: "Veronica, I know what your intention is. You are just greedy for tuition fees."

Veronica shrugged and admitted shamelessly.

"Who doesn't want an apprentice who is particularly good at making money? At least we are friends who have known each other for many years, and I won't cheat him, right?"

Speaking of which, Xia Bolai's network of contacts is indeed very wide. Almost everyone in Silver Moon Castle knows him, and if he meets a beautiful woman, he has friendship with him.

Or to be more precise, Chabolai would take the initiative to make friends with anyone who was a beautiful woman.

Chabolai agreed with Veronica's words, and he turned to look at Rosen.

"Although Veronica's magic achievements are not as good as Thrandis's, she is also an intermediate mage and a fairly decent person. She is more than enough to teach you. If you think there is no problem, then continue to learn from her? "

Rosen is currently a 'graduate student' at Kaoserandis. How can he find a new supervisor?

But he couldn't refuse directly. After all, it was not wise to offend an intermediate battle mage out of thin air.

"I'm fine. But can you please wait for a few days? Thrandis' incident has hit me hard. I'm really not in the mood to learn spells."

Xia Bolay sighed and patted Rosen's shoulder gently.

"I completely understand how you feel. Veronica, you must understand too, right?"

Veronica nodded: "When life suddenly changes, your mood will naturally fluctuate violently."

"This kind of mentality is indeed not suitable for learning spells. Rosen, come to me again when you get over this matter."

Rosen saluted again: "Thank you very much for your tolerance, Ms. Veronica."

Veronica nodded and returned to the Sheriff.

After she walked away, Olek, who had been silent and stupid next to her, suddenly said something meaningless.

"Chabolet, do you think that Ms. Veronica's figure actually fits the characteristics of the murderer?"

Xia Bolay was startled, subconsciously turned his head to look at Veronica, and then immediately whispered a warning.

"Olek, watch your mouth! Be careful of getting into trouble!"

Seeing that Olek still looked disapproving, Chabolai suppressed his anger and warned him.

"Have you ever thought about how much harm your casual words can do to someone else's reputation?"

Olek shrugged: "Okay, pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, the evidence is so sufficient that Miss Thrandis is the murderer without a doubt."

Although he said this, there was a hint of disapproval in Olek's words.

Rosen's heart moved slightly. He looked at Veronica carefully and found that Olek's words were indeed correct.

"This must have been committed by an acquaintance, and the real culprit is most likely nearby, maybe even among the group of people in front of the cabin."

"The scene has been completely recorded in my adventure log. It's time to find the truth."

Although he thought so in his heart, the expression on his face did not change. He always looked depressed after suffering a huge blow.

He sighed: "Uncle, it's useless for us to stay here, why not go back?"

Xia Bolay also sighed: "I have been busy for so many days, and I am indeed tired. Let's go."

The two left Thrandis' cabin together and rushed back to the prey home.

"Hey, wait for me."

Olek catches up, and he also lives in the Hound House.
