The Divine Hunter Chapter 6: Investigation 2

Beside the main banquet hall, a room filled with mostly debris and a few benches was where the Sea Scorpion once rested.

The utility room is airtight and does not even have a window.

The witcher searched carefully and was soon disappointed to find that this room had also been cleaned several times by the maid. He could not find any useful clues, so he asked Sylvia to bring all the Sea Scorpion members over. .

"Eveline, do you still remember when the acrobatic troupe finished its performance in the main banquet hall and came to the room to rest? Please be as specific as possible."

"I'm sorry, Roy..." Evelyn had just been escorted from the dark dungeon by the soldiers, her ankles were shackled, and her pretty face was still a little confused, "It's been a long time, and I do remember all the arrangements for that night. I’m not sure, I only have a vague impression that the acrobatic troupe started performing at about seven o’clock in the evening, and the performance ended... and entered the lounge after eight o’clock.”

"You, Cantila, can you remember?" Roy turned to the bronze-skinned **** the other side, who also shook his head helplessly, "I am good at machetes and archery, but memory is not mine. Long term."

As for the clown Floz, he seemed to be out of body and confused. The demon hunter had no hope for him at all.

At this time, Aveline bit her red lips and said hesitantly, "Roy, Master Leisuo, in fact, the Sea Scorpion Acrobatic Troupe has always recorded the time and process of each performance in the schedule to facilitate the performance. Then reflect and summarize. When Captain Aaron was still there, he was responsible for recording. After he left, I was the one doing this work."

"Where is the thing?" Roy asked.

"All the belongings of the acrobatic troupe were confiscated by the Baron's soldiers..." Evelin said, casually glancing at a group of soldiers guarding the door.

The leading general is Dylan, the officer who escorted Sea Scorpion back from the execution ground. He is also the person in charge of the dungeon. He leads five soldiers. He has a large bunch of iron keys and a dark leather whip wrapped around his waist. Restless and impatient.

"Your Excellency Dylan... Did you search the Sea Scorpion's diary? Please hand it over to me immediately..." Roy's dark-gold pupils flashed a cold light, and he looked him up and down again, and nodded. He raised his head and made a decision in his mind, "This is very precious evidence. There can't be any mistakes, otherwise I won't be able to explain to you Baron."

A trace of anger flashed across the young officer's face, and the demon hunter's tone was very much like a superior speaking to a subordinate, but due to the Baron's order, he did not dare to disobey.

Soon after,

"What you want..."

Roy took the diary with a thick yellow palm and carefully looked at the officer's aggrieved expression, "Eveline, Cantila and Floz are all crucial witnesses and must be retained. Come down and help the investigation. So if nothing happens to Mr. Dylan, please take your soldiers and leave..."

After hearing this, the officer's face turned the color of pig's liver, while the members of the Sea Scorpions had a hint of joy on their faces and cast a grateful look at Roy.

"Demon hunter..." The officer finally couldn't help the anger in his heart, "The Baron will never allow such dangerous suspects to operate in the castle. I must keep a strict watch on them!"

"Dylan..." At this time, Sylvia, who had been silent, spoke up, "With two masters here, safety is not a problem. Get out of here!"

"Sylvia, but..."

"Stop talking! This is what the master and madam want, you must cooperate!"

The officer was still unwilling to look at the demon hunter, and suddenly he was stunned. Weird and terrifying illusions appeared in front of his eyes, and the pupils reflected the color of blood - countless tentacles exuding a fishy smell and waving strangely from Behind the witcher's shoulder, sticking out from the sticky mire of blood, he pounced!

Wrap his body tightly and tighten it!

Squeezing, twitching, and suffocating him everywhere.

Dylan stood stiffly on the spot, his eyes turning white and black, like a patient suffering from epilepsy and being possessed by the devil. His limbs, chest and abdomen, and even the tips of his fingers were shaking violently!

In just two seconds, he was sweating profusely, and a clear wet mark appeared on his trouser legs, exuding a faint smell of urine.

"Your Excellency Dylan, you have done too much trouble, and the ghosts of the dead will come to settle accounts with you." Roy said with a smile.

A pair of dark gold vertical pupils shrank into prismatic shapes, like a wild beast staring at its prey.

The officer, who was completely frightened and in tears, did not dare to say another word and fled with his men.

"Master, you just..." the maid covered her mouth in surprise,

"Ms. Sylvia, as you can see, I didn't do anything. It was obvious that this guy had an emergency... probably a terminal illness." Roy put his hands behind his back and shook his head, "Anyway, thank you very much. Your trust..."

The maid smiled happily and said, "Dylan has been in the dark dungeon for too long. His words and deeds are abnormal and twisted. Most people in the castle don't like him. I'm happy to make him suffer."

"But... I still hope that you two can rescue the young master as soon as possible." After saying this, the maid led the way.

"You kid, you're trying to intimidate the Baron's men on his territory," the bald man who had been silent for a long time took a step back and whispered beside the apprentice, "What do you think?"

"I can't just watch my friends being bullied!" Roy clenched and unclenched his fists, as if a fire was lit in his chest, and his face was frighteningly cold, "If they dare to take action——"

"I will accompany you to fight out!" Lei Suo twisted his neck and said decisively.

……

"June 4, 1261, Chateau La Valette, evening, 7:20, "The Battle of the Targets" Cantilla, "Fire and Balloon" Corinthius, Floze , "Gwent Knife Whirlwind" Amos, "Dance of the Birth" Evelyn..." The two demon hunters opened the performance diary and found the latest page, "Four shows, lasting one hour and two Ten minutes, so you finished the show at eight forty? And then came to this utility room right away?"

"There are about two minutes left for the closing speech..." Evelin glanced at the grandfather clock in the corner and muttered, "It should be close to 8:35 when entering the room..."

"Is it eight-thirty-five? Is there anyone else in this lounge besides the members of Sea Scorpion at that time?"

The elf lady shook her head slightly.

The witcher continued to ask, "During the rest, did Yamos have any unusual behavior?"

Everin looked at Cantila, and both of them denied at the same time, "Yamos has always been stubborn. He would always show his courtesy to Evelin after every performance. Last time was no exception. He was rejected. Then I practiced Gwent magic in the corner for a while... everyone can testify to this."

"At what time did Ariane La Valetti come to the room to find him?"

"It's very short, it must not have been more than ten minutes before we entered the lounge..."

"So, around 8:45 and before 8:50, Arian left the lounge with the Quint performers," Roy thought for a moment, "Then you, Cantila, and Fernando Roz and Corinthian stayed in the lounge until the incident happened?"

"That's right..." Aveline explained, "It wasn't until we heard the woman's scream that the four of us rushed out..."

"Who discovered Ariane and when?"

The three members of the Sea Scorpion shook their heads. The incident happened suddenly. Their attention was completely attracted by the servant's scream, and they did not pay attention to the time at all.

"Master Demon Hunter, let me answer this question..." Sylvia approached the Demon Hunter and took the initiative to say, "Sylvia can't remember other times, but there is a time she will never remember. Forget - before ten o'clock every day, I must urge the young master to go to bed. This is the rule set by the master and his wife and has been like this for more than ten years."

Sylvia raised her small chin slightly, looked into the air, and recalled,

"The young master left the main banquet hall for a while. I was worried that it was already his time to rest, so I glanced at the grandfather clock in the hall. It was nine twenty... There were still forty minutes left before the young master's rest time. I was I was still relieved...but not long after, everyone heard Rosie's panic shouting."

"Who is Rosie?"

"My good sister, another maid... I talked with her in detail afterwards. She accidentally got her clothes wet while serving drinks in the banquet hall, so she went back to the dormitory to change. Who knew But they found the young master lying unconscious beside the bed..."

As the maid spoke, her face turned pale, "It's all my fault... If I had gone to check the young master's safety earlier, the accident would not have happened..."

"Ms. Sylvia, you don't have to blame yourself..." Roy glanced at the maid. She had a plump and soft figure, neither powerful muscles nor magic skills. "Judging from the murderer's ability, if you rush over, you will only lose your life in vain."

"Now back to the topic, you just said that you found Aryan unconscious in the room of the maid Rosie."

"As servants, we are not qualified to live in a separate room..." Sylvia explained, "Rosie and other sisters live in a large common room...the dormitory in the most remote corner of the second floor of the castle …"

"Do you usually lock the door? Are there any guards?"

Sylvia shook her head, "In the castle that night, only the entrance to the main banquet hall and the corridors leading to the first and third floors were guarded..."

The two demon hunters looked at each other, exhaled, and were silent for a long time. The murderer obviously knew where to hide.

"Okay, now to summarize the information we have, according to the confessions of Sea Scorpion and Ms. Sylvia, Master Aryan's accident happened within half an hour from 8:50 to 9:20... …”

Roy's sharp eyes swept over everyone present~IndoMTL.com~Eveline, the three of you can prove to each other that there was no time to commit the crime...Ms. Sylvia...I believe you will not hurt the children you have seen since childhood. ...Then in the remaining cases, the murderer may be Yamos, a guest who left the banquet hall midway, or--" Roy took a deep look at Sylvia, "a servant in the castle! ”

A trace of solemnity appeared on the maid's fair face, and then she shook her head, "Sisters... sisters are all honest people who know their roots. They have lived in the baron for generations, and their family backgrounds are clean. There is no reason, nor the courage, and The ability to harm the young master!"

"What you say makes sense..." Roy said, "In my opinion, the possibility of a servant committing a crime among the three is relatively low... We have to find out now..." The witcher was in his arms before He took out the guest list again and glanced at the names on it, "In the past half hour, who has left the banquet hall?"

The banquet hall on the second floor of La Vallette Castle was large enough to accommodate hundreds of guests, and there were only twenty-four guests that night, which was not too many.

"Can you summon the guests again?"

"Sorry, most of the guests have left the place, so I can only ask the sisters." Sylvia pondered, "I remember that night, in order to show their respect and attention to the guests, the master and his wife gave each guest Each guest is assigned a personal maid..."

"Those sisters...should know the whereabouts of the guests they are looking after."
