Time stops for the brave, evil paths quickly pass

Chapter 10 Unfathomable and Extreme Horror

Late that night.

No. 13, Gongguan Street.

Sheriff Wigg stood at the scene of the crime, chewing on his pipe and frowning.

Weige is in his prime, with a hooked nose, green eyes, and a serious smile.

Going to that station, it looks like an iron tower, which makes people feel in awe.

Hiding a wise mind under the appearance of a beast, Wiig possesses extraordinary wisdom and intuition, and is good at piecing together fragmented evidence into a complete truth.

Over the years, he has solved countless mysterious cases and has been the best police detective in Mirror Lake City for twelve consecutive years.

There are even rumors in the city that there are criminals who cannot be solved or caught without Sheriff Wei Ge, which shows his ability.

Weig had seen the body of the Night Cavalry. The murderer had powerful skills. He cut off the Dark Night Cavalry with one strike!

You must know that the Dark Night Cavalry has the blessing of the Black Star Demon King. It is an autonomous defense mechanism that cannot be easily broken unless one has reached the ultimate level of transformation.

Theoretically, it is possible for a first-level adventurer to practice a certain skill to its limit, but in reality, the current best record in the world is still at level 7.

but--

"Should I say you are very confident, or are you too careless? You left too many clues!"

Weige put away his pipe, took the compiled information, and rushed to the city lord's mansion.

It is now about two o'clock in the morning. Usually at this time, the Lord of Solotto has already gone to bed. He is a healthy person, and even the doctor said he is normal.

As for today, of course he had no intention of sleeping.

Traveling smoothly, Wei Ge soon arrived at the city lord's office and met Solotto.

Solotto's usually straight silver hair was slightly messy at the moment.

He rested against his temples, with a cigarette burning in the ashtray in front of him. He heard the sound of the door opening, raised his head, and saw Weig in a blue police uniform: "Look who is here? Our famous detective."

Weige saluted and said briefly and forcefully: "Lord City Lord, I am here to report to you the conclusions of the preliminary investigation."

"Um……"

Solotto was not in high spirits.

His eyes flickered, he looked at the long black sheath sword lying across the desk for no reason, and said, "Say it!"

"Please look at this."

Weig took out a plaster mold with a shoe print on it.

Solotto looked up and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Shoe prints. These are probably the murderer's shoe prints!"

Wei Ge smiled.

He continued: "Lord City Lord, the murderer is not a careful person. I found this shoe print in many places at No. 13 Gongguan Street. The one in front of you was collected in the garden. As you can see, it is very clear. After asking the servants in the mansion, they all said they had never seen similar shoe prints, and they were most likely left by the murderer!"

This……

Solotto was silent for a moment and said, "You can't identify the murderer just by looking at a shoe print!"

"This is no ordinary shoe print. Lord City Lord, please pay attention to the shape and pattern of the mold."

Solotto lowered his head again and observed carefully.

At this glance, I really saw the secret.

The mold shoe prints are very strange. They are not the leather shoes and boots worn by the rich and powerful, nor are they the casual shoes of ordinary citizens or the straw sandals of farmers.

Solotto had never seen this kind of shoe print before. It must be a pair of shoes with a very unique shape.

What's even more strange is...

pattern.

The fancy patterns are unheard of!

Weige knew that the city lord had discovered the clue, and immediately said: "The city lord has a keen eye, and I believe he has discovered something abnormal! This is an important direction, the murderer's shoes are so unique, it will lead us to find the truth!"

"Besides the shoe prints, I have other discoveries. But these discoveries cannot be linked to the murderer yet——"

"The food in the kitchen has disappeared, and even the food reserves in the warehouse have lost most of it. This is undoubtedly related to the murderer or the murderers. But I really don't understand that he or they can complete the killing in an instant. Why do you need to touch the food in the mansion?”

and also……

Sheriff Wigg originally planned to outline the murderer's infiltration route based on the footprints.

But after some exploration, he was surprised to find that there were footprints almost everywhere in No. 13 Gongguan Street.

Not just the garden.

Similar footprints were found in the corridors and bridges, the master bedroom and the second bedroom, the private lounge, the public library, and even the roof!
This murderer, what is he doing?
Visiting?
The only possibility that Chief Wigg can think of is that these footprints were left by the murderer when he visited the previous location.

But this is very far-fetched.

The master bedroom and the second bedroom always need to be cleaned every day. If a footprint is so conspicuous on the carpet, it is impossible for the maids and maids of the mansion to miss it. Combining food and footprints, Sheriff Wigg had a bold idea——

The murderer has lived at No. 13 Gongguan Street for a long time!

How could it be possible that such a ridiculous speculation was quickly extinguished by himself?
"Chief Wigger..."

Solotto, who was sitting behind his desk, suddenly spoke.

He raised his dry palm and carefully stroked the long black sheath sword lying across the table. The emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated: "Do you know? That murderer, he used my sword to kill the Night Cavalry."

Wei Ge nodded: "Yes, I know."

"He quietly snatched away my weapon faster than lightning and completed the assassination in front of me. When I came back to my senses, the blood of the Night Cavalry had been splattered on my body. I didn't see anyone the whole time. Not to mention anything else! Thinking about it now, I still find it unbelievable, it’s just a dream!”

what.

Solotto took a deep breath and suddenly raised his head and looked at Weig: "If he wants to kill me, I will die. I have been thinking about this when I went to the suburban manor to negotiate with the Centaur commander today... I think , this is the murderer’s kindness to me and a warning to me, what do you think?”

this……

Wei Ge already understood what the Lord of the City meant.

The Lord of Solotto City is scared.

This old man, who led troops in wars when he was young and was known as the "Tiger of Annam", was shocked by the murderer's ghost-like methods.

The older he gets, the more timid he becomes. He has lost his courage and is about to give in!

Weig immediately said: "Lord City Lord, I have a different opinion. The truth cannot be concealed, and any crime must be brought to justice!"

Solotto has already made up his mind: "Pay attention to your position, Sheriff Wig. The Night Cavalry is a demon. He is not us humans, let alone the citizens of Mirror Lake City. His death will not cause dissatisfaction among any citizens, and many people will even Cheers and cheers.”

No.

You can't say that.

Weig took a step forward and firmly defended his position: "Concession will only encourage the arrogance of criminals! What if next time he kills the citizens of Mirror Lake City, and even the nobles in the city? Should we let him go? ?”

"If he really takes it further, we will take serious action. At that time, I will seek help from the military and even the royal family!"

Solotto raised his hand and pressed it on the plaster mold.

Fighting energy erupted from his palm, and under the golden current, the mold immediately disintegrated into powder.

The dust flying all over the sky is proof that Solotto will no longer pursue the matter.

At first, Solotto wanted to find out the murderer so that the Centaur would not publicize their deal and damage his grandson's reputation.

But on the way to negotiate, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became!
The mysterious man's methods are shocking, and if he offends the Centaur colony, his reputation will be damaged the most, but what if he offends the mysterious man?

The mysterious man was obviously powerful enough, but instead of challenging him, he carried out an assassination.

It can be seen from this that he despises the rules and is unconstrained. At best, he is a person who does as he pleases. At worst, he is a morally corrupt gutter rat with no sense of honor.

Or.

Tiger in the gutter.

This kind of person, if you say he will kill the whole family, he will definitely kill the whole family. He is unscrupulous and extremely terrifying and must not be easily provoked.

For Solotto, offending the centaur is like kicking the wooden board, and offending the mysterious man is definitely kicking the iron plate.

It’s obvious how to choose, right?

Anyway, the person who died was a demon, so it had nothing to do with him, the human city lord.

Solotto looked at Wig, leaving no doubt: "I have dealt with this matter, it is over. Chief Wig, I need you to investigate another case now, Simon, you can explain the situation."

The assistant standing by the wall immediately stepped forward and said: "Chief Weige, it's like this. The City Lord's Mansion was stolen, twice. The first time happened before 2:40 in the afternoon. Someone stole it from the small vault. We lost 500,000 saks; the second time happened before eight o'clock in the evening. This time, we lost 600,000 saks..."

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

In the realm of Mirror Lake City, Solotto's orders were imperial edicts, and there was no room for Weige to refute them.

Weige took a deep breath and lost interest: "Sir Solotto, I'm a little tired...I'll come back to investigate the theft case tomorrow!"

That adds up to 110 million soks——

This is about half a year's salary of Sheriff Weig, and for the city lord, it is a drop in the bucket.

Solotto smiled slightly: "I'll give you half a month's leave with pay. Chief Weige's contribution to Mirror Lake City is obvious to all. You deserve this leave."

Just at this moment, a dashing red-haired woman wearing silver armor entered.

She bowed and saluted, raised her head, her eyes as bright as torches: "Sir Solotto, the owner of the Acorn Tavern has been arrested and brought to justice. We have almost wiped out the Human Rights Council's network in Mirror Lake City!"

Solotto asked: "Almost?"

"Yes. The woman named 'Celia' has some skills and she escaped. Please don't worry, we have launched a city-wide manhunt, she can't escape!"

The corners of the silver-armored guard's mouth raised, looking confident.
