Paladin

The demon struggled to shrink back for a long time, and finally got back into his own small space.

Evan felt relieved for it, and then found out in embarrassment that Hewitt had been looking at him.

The paladin coughed, Huitt's eyes moved, and he woke up from the fugue. With his hands folded in his sleeves, he put on a calm posture that Evan knew well, and said lightly, "I'm here to investigate a case."

With a move in his heart, Evan tentatively asked, "Is it about the rape case?"

Hewitt raised his eyebrows in surprise, then nodded and said, "Not bad."

"I'm also investigating this matter, but my time is quite tight, we can talk about the details as we walk." Evan said and pointed to the wooden house to Hewitt, "The mage inside has left at some point, but I found his secret room, and before I had time to check the clues, I heard you playing that song..."

"I'm just trying to see if the person in the room is a mage." Hewitt said slowly, "If you can't get a reply, it's either a passerby who came here by accident, or my enemy. I asked Louis to go and find the way. But this guy... has become more and more presumptuous recently."

Evan felt very embarrassed when he thought of the scene where he was blowing on Louis in a hurry and was seen by the mage. He almost walked with his hands and feet, and quickly changed the subject: "Do you have any information about this mage?"

Hewitt nodded calmly, without needing to recall, he opened his mouth and said: "There used to be an elementalist who lived here, an apprentice trained by a senior member of the Thorium Council. He once discovered a new element, rubidium, and Nominated as a candidate for the Arcane Council. She disappeared about 20 years ago, and the astrologers were not informed of her death until recently when the effects of her warding spells began to wear off."

"He's dead?" Evan was shocked, "Wait a minute, didn't you come to hunt him down?"

Hewitt said blankly, "No, I'm here to investigate her death."

With one hand on his forehead, Evan felt that the matter was confusing, and he had to overturn all his previous guesses. After a while, he said, "Wait... is this elementalist male or female?"

"A lady named Leliana." Hewitt said lightly, "She is known as one of the most arcane women in the world. Before her death is confirmed, many people have been waiting for her new arcane achievements. .”

Evan said in amazement: "So...she is a victim?"

Hewitt said in a deep voice, "And it should be the No.1 victim."

The two re-entered the secret room of the female elementalist. Except for the dust, everything here was neatly arranged and clean.

Evan thought to himself: This mage is the victim, so why do other evidence point out that the criminal committed crimes and destroyed his body here?Is the dove occupying the magpie's nest?Or is it the disguise of this female elementalist?

While he was deep in thought, Hewitt was inspecting the furnishings in the secret room. He didn't knock on every piece carefully, but stood on the spot and observed carefully.When his light purple pupils contracted slightly, it seemed as if he could see the flow of magic power... Evan wasn't sure if this was his own illusion.

After looking at it for a while, Hewitt suddenly said: "These devices are used to refine rare elements, but there is no rubidium element. Rubidium will react immediately in the air... It is impossible for her to conduct experiments in this environment, nor Maybe give up the new elements that I have discovered for only a few years."

Hewitt finally stretched out his hands from his sleeves, and then gently and slowly brushed the alchemy table of the female element, and then a gleam of light lit up in his eyes.The Grand Arcanist muttered something in a low voice.

Soon there was a reaction in the alchemy platform. A drop of unknown golden substance was lifted up by an invisible force field and splashed into a small groove on the wall in front. Huge magical power was released through this drop of liquid. In this secret room Another hidden secret door was opened.

Evan and Hewitt looked at each other.

They all smelled... a terrible smell of corruption coming from the door.

Evan picked up the candlestick on the table, tried to light it, and then walked into the dark second secret room first.

This secret passage is not long, and at the end is a small, sealed safe room full of enchantment spells. It should be clean and tidy, but at this moment it is shocking.

The first time Evan saw it, he couldn't bear to turn his head away, and then said to Hewitt behind him, "There are too many...you'd better be mentally prepared."

The passage was too narrow and dark.Hewitt only saw Evan turn around suddenly, but couldn't see what was going on inside, but he could guess something from Evan's frown and eyes, and asked in a low voice, "About how many people are there?"

"Thirty... no, it should be about forty. All of them were thrown together... they are almost mixed together, and I can't distinguish them more clearly." Evan showed a look of unbearable expression, and drew a line on his chest. Cross, and then said, "It's been too long, there are no clues to find here...it's just a place for mortuary bodies. I think...let's bury them later."

Hewitt shook his head and analyzed: "The murderer not only killed Ms. Leliana, but also took her residence as his own territory. So many women were detained here. Why were they never reported when they disappeared?"

Evan said: "This murderer should have a high status, I will tell you the details slowly."

The two tried their best to separate the corpses piled up in the secret room and buried them one by one.Due to the passage of time, some corpses could not be identified at all. Without Hugo's notes, Evan would not even know where to find their families.

Hewitt returned to the house and found something on the edge of the bed when he inspected the bedroom, and fumbled to pull out an iron chain specially used to imprison criminals.

Evan fumbled beside him and found several iron rings on the edge of the bed.

"Lie down and try it, it seems to be a prop for confinement." Hewitt suddenly ordered.

Evan thought to himself: You don't lie down yourself... Is it because you are afraid that there are other organs on this bed?That's all.

After all, the paladin is rougher and thicker. After thinking about it, he put down the phoenix blades, patted the dust on the bed, and lay down on it himself.

Hewitt grabbed his wrist, studied for a while, and buckled him into the iron ring.

The paladin only heard a click, and put his hands in the iron rings on the bed. He tried to move them a little, but found that the locks were very firm, and ordinary people couldn't break free with physical strength.

Hewitt was condescending, looked at Evan, and said thoughtfully: "There are many traps on this bed, and it is probably custom-made. The murderer may... imprison the person on the bed for a long time and commit atrocities. After losing interest, he will kill the person. Killed, and discarded the corpse in the secret room. The secret room used by the elementalist for research is very sealed, so no one has been able to see the clue."

Evan wasn't quite used to this angle, and moved his wrist a little weirdly, but he didn't dare to destroy the evidence forcefully, and asked, "Can I come down?"

"Wait..." Hewitt seemed to have found something again, then buckled the iron chain around Evan's ankle, then found the other end, and buckled it on the mechanism under the bed.

Evan: "..."

The paladin was drawn by the iron chain into a rather weird posture, one leg was forced to the side, and it was conceivable that if the other leg was also pulled by the iron chain, the two legs would...be unable to close.

The feeling of being out of balance is pretty bad and disturbing, and it's even weirder to have someone staring at me from the bedside, as if judging...

Evan curled up his other leg in embarrassment, and whispered, "Put me down."

There was no special expression on Hewitt's face. It seemed that he was just doing business. He untied the iron chain and said, "This seems to have the intention of humiliating people. Can't you break free with normal people's strength and skills? "

"Well, it's quite difficult for women." Evan heaved a sigh of relief, and waited for Hewitt to untie the iron ring on his wrist.

Hewitt leaned down from the bed and started to move. After a while, he suddenly said, "This one hasn't been maintained for too long, it's rusted."

Evan: "..."

The paladin struggled a bit, and just about to use his strength, he heard the mage say: "Wait, don't destroy the evidence, let me try for a while."

……All right.

Evan had no choice but to continue lying down, sighing faintly.

Hewitt bent his fingers and gently scratched the iron ring at an angle that Evan could not see, making a sound that seemed to be trying.While condescending, looked at Evan.

The paladin was handcuffed on this erotic bed, and seemed to turn his head slightly in embarrassment.

He was so tall that his legs had to be curled up a little on this bed; the hood had dropped due to gravity, his blond hair was falling down, and the blood elf's admirable face was fully revealed, and at the moment there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Hewitt looked at it slowly, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he calmed down quickly, then he opened the mechanism with a casual hand, and said in a business-like and calm voice: "Okay."

Evan breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the bed. The first thing he did was to put his sword back—then he seemed to regain his sense of security, and said in a normal tone: "It seems that this is important evidence. There are probably not many carpenters who can order such a bed, so we can start from here."

Hewitt said indifferently: "In addition, we need to find the family members of the deceased based on these relics, and there may be other clues. This time we act together, it is best not to separate."

"Are you worried that the behind-the-scenes will directly send people to chase and kill us?" Evan thought for a while, "I see, let's go find the family members of the deceased first, there are some missing women's information in Hugo's records... it should be these The unfortunate people who died."

Hewitt nodded calmly, summoned the demon spirit and said, "Louis, stay here and don't be discovered. If someone comes, share your vision with me."

Louis flew out from behind him, dodging shyly to avoid being seen by Evan, and then flew out of the window, becoming almost completely transparent.

Evan and Hewitt then left, handing over the area to the guard of the demon spirit.
