God-level Demon Hunter

The murderer's, or the coroner's?

Checking and analyzing all the way, the witcher came to the innermost room, paused, and then held down the slightly trembling pendant around his neck.

Well, there are situations.

"You are the body collector here, Quasimodo?"

In Roy's sight, a hunched, haggard middle-aged man was wearing a dirty and smelly apron and a mask, fiddled with a basin of transparent liquid.

The witcher's nose moved. It was a medical antiseptic.

According to the guard at the gate, after the death of the coroner and his assistant two days ago, Quasimodo, the body collector in Novigrad, temporarily took over the business of the mortuary until the next coroner was transferred from Oxenfurt Medical College. official.

The middle-aged man seemed to be taken aback, turned around and gave the two of them a strange look, then pulled off his mask, "Yes, I am Quasimodo, who are you two?"

"This is the family member of the deceased, and I, a demon hunter, help Eternal Flame find clues."

The demon hunter explained according to the agreed terms, while looking at the person in front of him - he should be born with a deformity, not a hunchback caused by long-term fatigue.He was very ugly, with a few sparse black hairs on the top of his head, eyes the size of rice grains, a bulbous nose, and a mouthful of yellow and rotten teeth, which could stop children from crying at night.

Moreover, when he heard the witcher introduce himself, his eyes flickered a little, which was captured by Roy.

Quasimodo?

Age: 36

Sex: Male

Identity: Corpse Collector

……

This honor is too shocking, according to Roy's thinking, it is only a little better than Kaiyan.

And there are many hidden diseases on the body, probably caused by living in a cold and humid environment for a long time.

Physical fitness is average.

Roy said, "We need to examine the body again..."

Obvious suspicion flashed across his hunched face, but for some unknown reason, he wisely chose to obey, pointing out the location of the coroner and assistants, who were placed on the two outermost beds in the room, covered with a white cloth.

Under the white cloth were two bloody corpses, which could be vaguely identified as two human males, one was 34 or [-] years old, and the other was [-] or [-] years old.

Todd whispered something to the witcher, and went to another room to look for Aisha.

Roy stayed where he was to examine the bodies, and the first thing he noticed were the dark, hollow eye sockets—their eyeballs had been removed.

Then there were stitches all over the body, apparently Quasimodo had already carried out a detailed autopsy on the two.

"It's rare for me to see such a strange way of dying..." The hunched back behind the demon hunter, the yellow eyes, one big and one small, turned with strange light, "There are injuries all over the body, and the wounds are very complicated, including fractures, cutting with sharp tools , and... the wounds left by teeth gnawing."

"Teeth gnawing?"

Roy happened to find bite wounds on the face and head of the deceased - a piece of flesh was missing from the side of the face and half of the scalp was missing from the forehead.But judging from the shape of the remaining tooth marks, he concluded that the attackers were not beasts such as wolves or bears, or monsters such as ghouls, but humans.

Who would be so insane?

It's not like simply killing the coroner - the attackers are torturing them.

"How's the internal condition of the body?" Roy asked again after looking at the body surface.

Quasimodo paused, swallowed his saliva, "Part of the internal organs are missing, do you want to see it with your own eyes?"

The demon hunter nodded, took the scalpel, and reopened it to confirm.

Five minutes later, he sewed the wound up like a zipper and took off the bloody gloves.

The coroner and assistants did not find the chaotic energy that caused the emblem to vibrate, but there were indeed creepy missing and gnawing marks in the internal organs.

The perpetrators were absolutely extraordinary.

"By the way, what's the use of this bell?"

Between the two bruised ankles of the corpse, there was a silver bell tied with a hemp rope. He shook it curiously, and made a clear and crisp sound.

"In order to prevent someone from secretly moving the dead, some guys in Novigrad have twisted minds, you can understand."

"Well, I'll look elsewhere..."

The other end of the room.

"Be careful, don't touch the corpse."

Quasimodo, hanging slightly nervously behind the witcher.

The second room inside is quite abnormal, there are not as many traces of fighting as in the outer room.

And Roy felt the slight vibration of the pendant, and followed the feeling to examine the dead on the wooden bed from the inside to the outside, looking for Aisha's whereabouts.

Then eye-opening.

Novigrad is mixed with fish and dragons. Humans, elves, and dwarves live here. The dead include all these races, and their causes of death are strange.

But most of them bear the wounds of fighting to death.

More than ten gangs of various sizes are rampant in Novigrad. Gang fights are the biggest cause of death, followed by disease and hunger, and finally accidental death.

But in any case, after being processed with medical embalming agents and dissected and stitched by the coroner, they are very miserable.

"Oh, poor guy..." Roy glanced at the record beside the bed, covered a dwarf who was drunk and fell into the cesspit and drowned with a white cloth, and turned his gaze to a dwarf who had been castrated by his family for stealing someone and lost too much blood. A half-elf who lost his life.

"Tsk tsk... If you stay in this kind of place for a long time, you will definitely have mental problems. But why does this guy open his mouth?"

Roy opened the half-elf's mouth at a wider angle, and took out a thin black hair after a while.

"What the hell? Beard, nose hair, or hair?"

He dropped it casually.

Keep checking.

When checking to the No.13 position.

Roy's expression suddenly changed from casual to solemn, and the most intense vibration came from the pendant around his neck.He relaxed for a moment in silence, and lifted the white cloth in front of him.

Fifteen or sixteen years old, very young, in line with his impression in the bottom of his heart, with delicate facial features and smooth skin, but at the moment it is pale and bloodless.

The witcher's palm trembled slightly.

Her face was extremely serene, as if in a dark and sweet sleep.

There were no obvious wounds on her body.

Like a Sleeping Beauty.

But who can wake her up with a kiss?

A strange color flashed in the pupils of the demon hunter Dark Gold, and a piece of strange information unfolded in front of his eyes.

Corpse exuding chaotic energy

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Status: Civilian

???

Not far away, Todd glanced this way, and in an instant, his whole body was struck by lightning!

Chapter 33 Inspection

Morgue.

Under dim light.

A man as strong as a bear was sobbing in front of the cold wooden bed.

"Aisha, open your eyes and look at me..." Todd lay beside the girl, holding her face against her forehead.

At the first glance, he confirmed the identity of the other party, and the face that closely resembled her mother Colleen was the most direct evidence.

"I am a coward, a sinner, and an irresponsible man. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I am not worthy of being a father."

"But please give me a chance to redeem my sin," Todd said in the cold girl's ear, his tone turned soft and firm, "Let me avenge you!"

"But I'm sorry... in order to catch the murderer... I need your help later."

……

"Is Aisha's current state dead or alive?"

Next to the big man, Roy's eyebrows were wrinkled. After a rough inspection, he found that the other person was not breathing or heartbeat, his pupils were completely dilated, and his body temperature was frighteningly low. From these aspects, the girl was definitely a dead person.

But some of her signs were completely different from those of the deceased.

The blond hair is very shiny, not as haggard and dry as the dead, the skin is smooth and delicate, there is no edema, and there should be no internal bleeding.

There were no conspicuous scars all over his body, let alone wounds that were enough to kill him.Aside from the calluses left by overwork on the hands and feet, this befits a poor parentage.

There are bells around the ankles, and the column for the cause of death on the edge of the No. 13 wooden bed under the feet is still empty.

The coroner hadn't been able to find out the cause of her death, or hadn't had time to examine it?

"Surrounded by chaotic energy..."

Perhaps it was the chaotic energy that kept her body from decaying over time, keeping her freshness and beauty in life.

But now she is as quiet as a Sleeping Beauty, she will not and cannot resist everything in the outside world.

So now the question is, who brought Aisha's body to the morgue, when and from where?

If they find out the answer to the question, maybe they will be able to follow the clues and find clues to the murderer in the dream.

In addition, the horrific death of the coroner and assistants is also related to Aisha, or is it a pure coincidence?

"Did you see her?"

The hunchback came quietly behind Roy, looked at the dead under the white cloth, and lamented, "It's a pity, what a beautiful and well-behaved girl, she died at such a young age before she had time to enjoy the beauty of this world."

Quasimodo did not hide the regret on his face,

"She shouldn't belong to such a dark and bloody place at all. I don't know which guy can be cruel."

The demon hunter suddenly turned around, looking straight into Quasimodo's eyes sharply, "I almost forgot your job. You have always been responsible for the corpse collection."

"You are right. I recovered the entire Novigrad corpses and transported them to this morgue. I also brought this girl back."

"When and where did you find her?"

"Um..." The hunchback paused, with obvious hesitation on his face. He felt that the young security guard in front of him was too curious. "Is your question related to the coroner's case?"

The demon hunter stared at each other. When the hunched eyes flickered, a hand quickly passed in front of his eyes, and his five fingers fluttered like butterflies piercing flowers, instantly outlining the sign of Axi,

"Does the death of the coroner, assistant, and Aisha have anything to do with you?"

"No."

Roy felt a little disappointed, "Tell me everything about her right away."

……

Quasimodo lowered his head, shook his deformed body, and replied in a trance,

"On the evening of the day before yesterday, I got news that a businessman in the North District had been robbed and killed, so I rushed over to collect his body. On the way to transport the body, I found her."

The hunchback pointed to Aisha, "Lying in the green bushes beside the road, I thought at first that this lady was drunk or was knocked out...I yelled several times and she didn't respond. When I got closer and checked, she was not breathing or her heart was beating - she was dead."

"After the sheriff went to the scene to conduct a preliminary survey, I transported her back to the morgue and handed her over to the coroner, waiting for him to find out the specific cause of death, and then I left."

……

Roy suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The evening before yesterday, at this point in time.Or the day before the coroner and assistants were found dead.

Aisha was brought back to the morgue, and then the coroner and assistant, who both died violently, were found in the early morning. The two incidents were almost close together!

"When you found the deceased, was she like this? Is there any difference?"

Quasimodo shook his head,

The demon hunter asked, "Did the coroner who received the corpse behave abnormally, or did you find anything strange?"

The hunchback frowned, and recalled for a while, "Your Excellency the Coroner was as indifferent as ever, and he didn't communicate with me a word."
