Chapter 77 77. What a big scapegoat

Percordo took out the parchment from his pocket, and drew a portrait based on the oral testimony of the two. He drew very quickly and finished it in less than 10 minutes.

Percordo held up the painting in front of the two of them, "Is this the first homeless man you saw?"

The first person to be caught nodded, wondering why Percodo didn't draw the murderer, but instead drew a homeless man who had nothing to do with the whole thing.

Some townspeople expressed his doubts on his behalf, "Magic Percodo, why did you paint his portrait?"

Percordo put the quill pen into his pocket, and held the painting in the air, "Look carefully at his appearance, who of you has seen him?"

The townspeople shook their heads after careful observation.

Percordo rolled up the painting, his tone was very affirmative, "There are so many people in the town, how could it be possible that no one has seen this person?"

"Why is he there in the middle of the night?"

"Why did he observe that murderous man?"

"The cruel man clearly saw him, why didn't he arrest him?"

"Don't you think all this is very suspicious?"

Percodo explained the doubts about Jiang Yingbai one by one, disrupting the original thinking of the townspeople.

Some townspeople thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case, "So he is..."

Percordo replied, "Obviously, he is the mastermind. He hides among the homeless in order to pick targets for the captors and let them out."

"Why didn't the captor catch him? That's because he wanted to put on a show for us," Percordo pointed to the first person to be caught.

"Because he saw him, the leader, in order to hide his identity, put on a show with the captor, just to deceive us."

The townspeople thought that the homeless man was a murderer after hearing Percordo's words.

Although Percodo's words were full of loopholes, no one doubted them, and everyone automatically ignored the unreasonable points.

The two also believed Percodo's words and both expressed their intention to catch him with their own hands.

Percodo took out a stack of paper from his pocket, put the white paper and the portrait together, waved his wand at the paper a few times, and said a magic spell, and the blank paper instantly turned into paper like the portrait.

In just five seconds, Percordo had [-] extra portraits of homeless people in his hand.

Percordo sent the portraits to the surrounding townspeople, and said in a calm voice, "Post these portraits out, Pingyu Town will never allow dangerous people to appear, and we must find him tomorrow."

The townspeople scattered the portraits, and everyone was full of fighting spirit. They shouted, "Magician Perkodo is smart and witty."

They all thought that as long as they obeyed the Perkodo magician, he would be found out soon.

No one doubted Percordo's words, and no one thought about the matter from beginning to end.

Trusting Percordo seemed to be ingrained in their bones.

The townspeople took the portraits and left the square, looking for where they wanted to post them.

Percordo stood where he was, stroking the red and swollen nose with his fingers, it didn't hurt but a little itchy, the magic light flashed, and the red and swollen nose disappeared instantly.

This wound was nothing to him, it was just a matter of words.

Perkodo, it shouldn't be Abel. As soon as Abel, who had fled in a hurry, got home, the townspeople knocked on his door.

Abel only had time to change his clothes, and forgot to hide the wound on his head. After using the transformation technique to change his appearance, Abel opened the door and followed the townspeople to the square.

Fortunately, the townspeople were so stupid that they only cared about whether Abel was seriously injured, not where he got his wounds.

Percodo looked at the alley where Jiang Yingbai disappeared before and laughed suddenly.

Although it is a pity to let the other party run away tonight, as long as the other party does not leave Pingyu Town tonight, he will definitely be caught tomorrow.

And the other party must never have imagined that tomorrow the town will be covered with his portraits.

Thinking of this, Abel smiled and walked home.

……

7:40
Jiang Yingbai, Xia, and Luota sat in the restaurant.

Luota frowned. He looked at the portrait at hand from time to time, and then looked at Jiang Yingbai.

Jiang Yingbai was eating breakfast with a few mouthfuls of bread and a mouthful of milk.

The bread is very fluffy and white, with three colors of sandwiches inside, a layer of honey on the outside, and some sesame seeds sprinkled on the skin.

The bread in front of Xia didn't move, she was staring at Jiang Yingbai eating and giggling.

Luo Ta's brows furrowed even more. He thought about his words. After shaking his head and confirming that there was no one around, Luo Ta lowered his voice and spoke to Jiang Yingbai.

"Now the town is full of your portraits."

Jiang Yingbai nodded while eating, and said vaguely, "Yeah."

Lotta was dumbfounded, and doubts and disbelief filled Lotta's head.

What is her reaction?What the hell happened last night?
Does she understand that the current situation is very critical?
Isn't she afraid of being discovered?
Jiang Yingbai took a sip of milk and swallowed it with the bread in his mouth, "Don't worry, they won't find me."

Seeing that Jiang Yingbai stopped eating, Xia glanced at Luo Ta with some dissatisfaction.

Lotta looked innocent, why were the two of them not nervous at all?Their enemies are the whole town!There is also a magician inside!

You must know that even if you are a magician just getting started, killing the three ordinary people is just a matter of moving a magic wand!

There is only a dead end for them to confront the magician head-on.

The more Luota thought about it, the more panicked she became. No, she had to come up with a countermeasure.

Lotta patted the table slightly and stood up, and said to the two of them, "No, it's too dangerous here. Let's leave Pingyu Town quickly!"

Jiang Yingbai refused without even thinking, "No."

Lotta was puzzled, "Why?"

Jiang Yingbai wiped her mouth with a napkin. After wiping, she slowly explained, "If you leave at this time, you will be easily spotted, and you will have a guilty conscience, you know."

Of course, there was another reason why Jiang Yingbai didn't want to leave, and that was that she didn't get the commission fee.

If the entrustment is very difficult, Jiang Yingbai will leave on her own initiative without being reminded, but now she can completely complete the entrustment, so there is no reason to leave money and not make money.

Jiang Yingbai was very sure that Abel was Percodo. No one except Percodo could throw all the blame on her in just one night.

It's a pity that he is doomed to fail, because he will never see the person in the portrait again.

Lotta sat back in the chair, lowered his head and sighed. He could only take one step at a time. If it was not possible, he could just run away by himself. He asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Yingbai pushed Luo Ta's untouched breakfast towards him, "Eat it, it will get cold if you don't eat it. Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. You and Xia just stay here."

Lotta looked at the bread on the table. The crust of the bread was slightly dented, and it was indeed getting cold.

Lotta felt panicked, but had no choice. He picked up the bread and opened his mouth to bite off half of the bread. His cheeks were bulging as he chewed the bread with great effort, like a little hamster.

Xia thought he was very hungry and quickly handed his bread to Lotta.

Luota was stunned for a while when he saw this, and he suddenly figured out that he should give Jiang Yingbai more trust, after all, they are friends.
