Chapter 11 Appearance
"Garden? Did you and Fultest buried him in the ground?" Roy looked at Lu Yisha again, a little annoyed. Why didn't he dig the ground open?
"The fragrance of flowers everywhere is the best cover. In the circumstances at that time, there was indeed no more suitable choice than this. Sylvia mentioned that you have to go to the garden to relax every day, but it is actually to destroy the traces of crime, right?"
"Poor Amos, I thought that a pie fell from the sky, but he had his life turned into a flower fat. He might die with his eyes open?" Roy said this, but in fact he didn't have much sympathy for Amos. He was too greedy and lost his mind. He didn't have that strength, but he just coerced a king... He was so tired of living.
"What are you doing with Arian?"
Mrs. Lu Yisha stared at the thin face of the boy on the bed and said softly, "After burying the body, His Majesty cleared his clothes a little and left first. Then I looked for the child, but unfortunately he didn't know where to hide. I was worried that the master would notice the problem, so he went back to the banquet hall first... I should look for it again..."
"You've searched the maid's dormitory next to the garden, and there's no one inside?"
The woman shook her head, "A few minutes later, I heard Rosie's scream in the banquet hall, and I realized that something happened to the child."
The witch hunter almost believed the woman's words, even told him about the tryst with Fultest and murdering people and hiding corpses. There was no need to hide Arian's experience.
"Who made Arian look like this... Could it be that this boy was hit, overly sad, and fainted?" The thought flashed, and Roy shook his head, the conclusion was too untenable, and his intuition told him that near the garden that night, in addition to Madame Luyisha and Fultest, there was a third person.
The real murderer.
"The castle servants who were questioned have cleared the suspicion... Who am I ignoring?"
"Both, I've finished saying everything I should say..." Lu Yisha interrupted the witch hunter's thoughts and closed her hair. "If you have any questions, I will never hide them. I just want you not to spread the matter outside."
The woman revealed the secret that was accumulated in her heart, stripped away the last trace of tension, and her expression became calm, and she returned to her previous glamorous and charming and elegant style.
"If this matter is leaked, the La Valerdi family will be shamed. Master... With Master's stubborn temper, it is not ruled out that the possibility of breaking up with Fultest. At that time, the entire La Valerdi will inevitably affect the innocent people, and how many people will die. How can the two masters bear it?"
"We are not charity. What does the people led by the Baron have to do with me?" Resault said a harsh sentence, but changed his mind. "But we have promised that Amos's death is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to talk more... If you wash away the stigma on the heads of Afolin and the three of you, give them justice, and give them generous compensation."
"The little ghost and I will naturally keep our mouths tight."
Observing the woman's expression, Roy continued, "We are not interested in tearing the face with the King of Termolia and becoming wanted criminals."
However, he had another idea in his mind - this handle will be useful in the future.
Mrs. Lu Yisha looked at the same expression of the two masters and apprentices, and couldn't tell the reason, so she could only sigh.
"Since the Sea Scorpion Acrobatics Group is a friend of the master, I will persuade the master with all my strength, and there is no problem with generous compensation." The woman pursed her lips, "But all this can't be avoided... Arian must not have any problems, otherwise the master will let the Sea Scorpion be buried with her."
"The hunter who sets a trap can untie the trap..." Resor said, "Only by finding out the murderer who harms Arian can he be rescued."
"This is the difficulty," Roy explained, "all clues are directed to you, Madam, and His Majesty Fultest, but you were busy dealing with Amos's body and removing the suspicion, and then the investigation went to a dead end..."
Who was able to curse Arian at that point in time and no one knew what purpose was it for? It was just a robbery?
"Next, let's find out the previous omissions at most. It will be difficult to make breakthrough progress in a short period of time. Can Young Master Arian hold on..."
Madam Lu Yisha's nose felt sore when she heard it, and she couldn't help but hug the boy in the blanket tightly and sobbed in a low voice.
Roy remained silent, feeling a little emotional.
Most witch hunters separated from their parents at a young age and did not enjoy too much family affection, like Resor and Oaks brothers.
Roy and the old Moore have not met for quite a long time.
The woman in front of her betrayed his husband and became a murderer again, but at this moment, she was indeed showing her true feelings.
Time passed by inadvertently. When Lu Yisha came back to her senses from her sadness, she wiped away the tears on her face, pursed her red lips, and said in confusion,
"I have a question, I can't figure it out. The investigation of the two masters at most proves that Fultest had been to the garden, so why did he connect me with him?"
"Just because we left the hall midway through the banquet, we were determined. We met in the garden? It would be too arbitrary!"
After the woman asked, the witch hunter fell into deep thought.
Roy knew the filth of the Baroness and King Temolia because of his past experience, a prophet to a certain extent, so shortly after the investigation was initiated, this vague thought came to mind.
And Resso...
"Chicken Cow Tavern!" The bald man explained to the woman, "We enjoyed a 'performance' in the Chicken Cow Tavern. Two bold drunkards satirized your relationship with His Majesty the King."
After saying that, a deep gully appeared between Leisu's eyebrows, realizing the contradictions in the previous conversation.
According to what he saw and heard in the castle, Madame Luyisha's confidential work was almost invisible, and there was no third person who was familiar with the matter except him and Fultest.
The servants in the castle, even Baron Baron, knew nothing about this, and Arian accidentally broke the matter on the night of the garden.
Then why do two confused drunks know the inside story in the tavern that is far away several miles away?
Things are too unreasonable.
"The drunk has another identity, the spy of Radania?" the bald man thought, "I deliberately acted in front of us?"
"Master, are you kidding? Two drunks? It's impossible!" Mrs. Lu Yisha frowned slightly and had a pretty face unhappy. The bald man obviously made an excuse casually, but-
"Chicken Cage Tavern, which one is in the suburbs led by the Baron?"
"Have you heard of it?" The two witch hunters looked at each other, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in their hearts.
"At the beginning of spring this year, the master took our family out for a spring outing. He passed by the tavern and used a meal..." Lu Yisha lowered her pretty face, and her tone was even more sad. "I still remember that meal clearly... The tavern's signature dish smoked pork is an absolute delicious dish, with an irresistible magic... which made Arian crazy infatuated. Since then, I have often sent people to the tavern to purchase..."
"It's a pity, my Arian..." The lady rubbed her son's thin face and was about to cry.
At this moment, Roy's mind flashed back to what they were investigating in the banquet hall, and the hall was filled with the compound fragrance of smoked pork.
"Madam, have you eaten that dish recently?"
"The servants just visited yesterday... The owner of the tavern is very eye-catching and reserves enough weight for the castle every week. After all, the master likes it very much."
"The owner of the Chicken Cage Tavern...Old Patton?"
"Maybe, I can't remember it." Lu Yisha said curiously, "How could the two masters pay attention to him?"
Roy had no time to deal with the woman. His back was close to the wall, and his dark and thick eyebrows were almost tangled into a ball. He rubbed his temples, looking confused, "Old Patton... what does it look like, why can't I remember?! Resor?"
"You said that," Resso's face was solemn, and he shook his head slowly. "I can't remember his face either? Are Old Patton and those two drunks not ordinary people?"
"What is the identity?"
...
"Doing to worry about a tavern owner, the identities of two drunks are just a waste of time, and they must have forgotten them accidentally."
Lu Yisha took a deep breath, as if she grabbed the last straw to save her life, begged, "Look at Arian again, save this child... The witch doctor's prophecy did not clearly mention that the witch hunter would awaken the sleeping man."
"The witch doctor's prophecy...it's probably the clues are inside!" Roy's heart moved and asked anxiously, "What exactly did that prophecy say?"
Lu Yisha was startled, and Resso gave the answer,
"The body is covered in blood but kindness, through the fog, revealing ugliness, shattering bloody reflections, and awakening the sleeping people."
Roy fell into deep thoughts, only one sentence was interesting.
"The blood-colored reflection...what does it mean? Water surface, wall, or-"
He muttered in a low voice nervously, and suddenly widened his eyes, as if on the hot noon, he was poured by a bucket of cold water, which was cold from head to toe!
A piece of goose bumps burst out of the skin, and the witch hunter's frightened wild beast straightened his body.
"Mirror?!"
"The third participant, is it the guy who cursed Arian--"
Roy's self-talk suddenly interrupted, and an extreme silence strangled his throat.
As soon as he looked up, he suddenly realized that the bald man opened his mouth slightly, revealing his pale teeth and scarlet gums, but he could not say a word. Even every muscle on his rough face fell into static.
Mary Luyisha sat by the bed, stretched her swan-like neck, gently stroked Arian with one hand, leaned forward, looking at Roy with beautiful eyes full of expectations.
But her originally vivid and beautiful face seemed to be a mold filled with mud, becoming stiff, dull, and lost her vitality.
Not only that.
Everything around him fell into a static state, including Resor, Baroness, Arian's breathing, heartbeat, the sunshine sprinkled out of the window, the gentle breeze was frozen, and everything seemed to be pressed down by the invisible demon hand in an instant.
Except Roy.
He felt a strange gaze, and the dark golden pupils slowly moved to the window.
The windows were completely opened, and the chirping of birds disappeared.
Under the windowsill... Under the windowsill, a man's face appeared at some point, and a pair of eyes as dark as an abyss stared at the room-
His mouth slightly raised, his cheeks were raised and his eyelids contracted, and his eyes showed kind and gentle crow's feet at the tail.
He was smiling strangely, but his facial features were like the breeze blowing across the lake, constantly changing, and several completely different faces reflected in the witch hunter's dark gold pupils-
Tros, the owner of the herbal shop in Edsberg, is the village chief of Kona village on Lake Vigima, the winery of the white orchard tavern, the village chief of Lower Valen, and the old Patton of Keelung tavern...
A familiar but always overlooked and forgotten face eventually turned into a middle-aged man with a scaly head, a hooked nose, and a messy chin.
"Roy, you found me..."
He said with a smile.
