Chapter 58: Famous Detective Demon King(1/2)
There were several wooden stakes stuck in a clearing in the forest, and a young boy was jumping precariously on the wooden stakes.
At this time, a girl wearing men's clothing was sitting aside and sighing.
"It's been so many days and the master hasn't come back yet."
She looked at the ants on the ground sadly.
"Master, will you be in trouble?"
Kate jumped up to her side and said, "No, your master is so powerful, he will definitely be fine."
Reina nodded, but she still looked unhappy. She was worried that her master would abandon her and leave. If that was the case, what would she do?
"Don't you want to practice your special skills? If you practice well, your master may praise you when he comes back."
Kate's words made Reina regain her energy. She stood up and picked up the wooden sword.
"I have to train harder."
…
The coachman kept a look of fear and lay quietly.
The devil slowly covered the white cloth, gently closed his eyes and said: "They were poisoned to death."
"How do you know, and what evidence do you have?"
Nona asked behind him.
The Demon King opened his eyes and said: "Before this, can you please not put the knife on my neck, Miss Nona?"
Nona frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Don't be afraid, because you can't do it." The devil said with a smile.
Nona gritted her teeth and said, "Are you looking down on me?"
"No, it's you who underestimated me." The devil replied.
After a few seconds, Nona took back the knife angrily.
"Um, Mr. Richard, how did you determine that they were poisoned? Could it be that they were not enchanted?" Lucia questioned, also casting doubtful glances at the adventurers around her.
The Demon King sighed softly. It seemed that they would not easily believe whatever he said.
"You can tell by looking at their backs carefully. Aren't you two magicians?"
After saying that, the two of them were stunned for a moment, then Ling Yi glanced at several of his companions, and the two adventurers quickly stepped forward and turned the body over.
Nona took out her staff and pointed it at the corpse's back.
"Blood and bones appear!"
She shouted, and the staff emitted blue light, which shone on the back of the corpse, and the blood vessels, bones and internal organs were vaguely visible.
"Ah! This is!!"
Everyone present was shocked. All the internal organs on his back were pitch black.
"But it's impossible! The food we eat is..."
Ailan on the side lost her voice as she spoke, and everyone focused their attention on her.
She is the person in charge of inspecting the food! And now she is the biggest suspect!
"Ailan? No, this is impossible. I guarantee with my life that this was definitely not done by Ailan! Please believe her!" Ling Yi said excitedly. Seeing him defending herself in this way, Ailan couldn't help showing a pleased expression.
"But how do you explain this? These two coachmen adhered to discipline along the way and would never eat food outside the team." Nona looked at Ailan coldly and said.
"Me! Me! I really didn't poison!" Ailan was so excited that she was a little incoherent. The companion beside her couldn't help but take a few steps away from her, which made Ailan even more heartbroken.
At this moment, the captain stood in front of her.
"team leader?"
"Don't worry, I will never let my companions be wronged." He said righteously.
Ailan was very moved and leaned towards him inadvertently.
"Then, please provide evidence." Nona pressed.
"This..." Ailan frowned, how could she come up with evidence?
At this time, the Demon King coughed dryly.
"Hey, I didn't say she did it. The poison was not necessarily injected while cooking, it could have been while eating. Of course, it's also possible that these two secretly broke the rules under your nose.
." The devil's words silenced Nona. Lucia knew that Nona was not the kind of person who would shut up just after being told something. If the other party hadn't threatened him with force, Nona would have argued with him non-stop.
"Then who do you think did it?"
Nona asked.
The Demon King did not answer her question, but turned around, glanced around, glanced at everyone and said: "I don't know yet, but what I am sure of now is that there is a shape-shifter among us!"
They dare not look into the devil's eyes, but of course this does not mean they are guilty.
"First tell me what happened last night and what you were doing."
So, the Demon King took them into the room and interrogated them one by one.
"I patrolled last night and went back to the house to rest after my shift. I remember when I heard the sound, it was after midnight, probably the second hour..."
"It was true that I was patrolling at the time, but I didn't dare to go outside, so I just sat here. When I heard the sound, I woke up my companions as soon as possible. When I went out, I found the body of the coachman and the two soldiers.
Went outside too..."
"I'm sleeping……"
The orange adventurer said almost the same thing. He heard a noise and found the body of the coachman after going out.
"You were sleeping at the time of the incident and didn't do anything."
The devil wore glasses and asked Ailan. Ailan lowered his head and kept stroking Qiami.
disturbed.
This is her first emotion.
The devil glanced at her.
"Well, I'm sleeping." She said weakly, keeping her eyes on the table.
"Really? Among the adventurers, you are the only one with a private room. In other words, you are also the only one without a witness."
The devil's words made Ailan lower her head.
"Um."
She replied weakly, looking a little aggrieved.
"Then let me ask you one last time, did you really do nothing but sleep last night?"
The devil asked forcefully.
Ailan didn't speak, just nodded,
She thought the other party would continue to press her, but the other party said: "Okay, that's all I want to ask, you can go."
"Huh? This..." She was a little surprised, but finally left silently.
The Demon King looked at her leaving figure and fell into deep thought.
She is lying!!
But this does not mean that she must be a criminal.
Next is Brick. The Demon King has barely spoken to these adventurers, but he has spoken to Brick a few times, so we have a rough idea of what kind of person he is.
"Just ask."
Brick said immediately after sitting on the stool.
"Tell me what you did after dinner last night."
"Don't you need it before dinner?" Brick asked with a smile.
The Demon King looked at him expressionlessly and said, "You can say it if you want."
"Then I'd better not say anything. Well, I didn't have a night watch duty last night, so I went to bed very early."
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" the devil asked, still expressionless.
Brick hesitated and shook his head.
"Okay, let's go."
"So simple?"
He was a little surprised.
Watching his leaving figure, the Demon King's face became serious again.
This guy is also lying!
