Chapter 1435 The Death of Kobochin
The next day, a bombshell news broke in the whole city. Lulkaf Kobochin died on the bed at his home. When the contemporary mayor Bandera and Sheriff Binks rushed to the manor with their people, they were shocked by the tragic scene on the bed.
Seeing this situation, Binx's face turned pale and he hurriedly asked the people present: "Who was the first to discover Jazz's body?"
"Yes...yes The maid who gave Sir the face wash in the morning." Butler Ivo glanced at the servant maid who was being held hostage by everyone, but was still trembling and expressionless.
Seeing her like this, Binx was speechless and had to ask Ivo: "Butler, was there anyone suspicious in the manor last night?"
Ivo shook his head: "No, but the master seemed to have gone out last night."
"What happened?"
Butler Ivo said: "I locked myself in the house at eleven o'clock last night He was told not to disturb him in the study, but I forgot. At half past eleven I went to The master brought tea and knocked on the door, but there was no response. Because I was worried about something happening to the master, I used the spare key to open the study, but there was no one in the room."
"Oh? Is this the study here? ”
“Yes, it’s the study room on this floor.”
Binks went to the study to take a look, and then asked: "What happened next?"
"Later, after one o'clock, I saw the master in the corridor, and he was about to sleep. At that time, I thought Although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask more about the owner. "Ivo said in a clear tone...
...
In the hotel, Alice was wearing pajamas and holding her chin. Sitting on the bed, lost in thought. After a while, he puffed up his cheeks and sighed: "I'm so tired. I have to think about so many things every day, and my head feels big. It's better than before, don't think about anything, there aren't so many worries."
She fell on the bed, her face pressed against the slightly rough quilt, her eyes blinking, and she began to think about the parchment scroll again.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Jennifer shouted outside the door: "Alice, are you in the room?"
"Yes." Alice lazily got up and opened the door to the room. Asked: "What happened?"
"Something happened!"
In Jennifer's suite, Alice had changed her clothes and sat with the four of them. Rourke said: "It's good now, Cobochin is dead. Last night we were still thinking of going to Cobochin to ask about the map, but now we have no choice."
Alice After thinking about it, he regretted: "I was negligent in this matter. I should have thought that Cobochin's life would be in danger, but my reaction was still a step too late."
"What should we do?" Command said: "The only person who knows about the ancient tomb now is the map, but we don't know who took that map away. Hey Lucas, you are usually the smartest, so tell me What's the point?"
Lucas said: "I'm thinking about who killed Cobochin last night. Cobochin is not weak, according to Alice. Presumably so too A master. Who could be the person who can kill him? "
"Could it be the black-haired man who appeared in the square yesterday, the one named..."
" Cesar Neil."
"Yes, that's him," said Comander: "He rescued Mrs. Reiko, and also rescued the man in black. Maybe the man in black had a grudge and asked him to take revenge. ?”
Rourke said: "It's useless to guess whether he killed him or not. What matters is the map."
Jennifer saw Alice in deep thought and said nothing, and asked: "Alice, what do you think? ?”
Alice raised her head and said : "I want to see the body."
......
At the city hall, Naviti came here with people and Cesanil. Naviti said: "Acting Mayor , I’m afraid there’s some misunderstanding about this?”
"Misunderstanding?" Bandera pointed at Cesanil and said: "This man rescued the man in black in full view of the public. Now I even suspect that he is closely related to the death of Sir."
Naviti said: "This is impossible. We were on the road in the Gobi during the day yesterday and we had not yet entered the city. Cesanil was always with us and never left us. How could he be here again to commit crimes? Besides, Last night at the time of the incident, Seth and I Sanil and these people had been in the hotel and had no time to kill Sir Lulkaf."
"Is what you said true?"
Naviti said: "Of course. It’s true, and all the people I brought here can testify.”
Benjerach said: “This is strange, but what we saw with countless pairs of eyes yesterday couldn’t be false. Ah, is it the face of a demon again? ”
Binks immediately said: "It is very possible."
Naviti asked: "What is the face of the demon?" "A prop that can change a person's appearance." Bandera Looking at Cesaniel, he said to Naviti: "I believe you, but your friends are also suspected anyway. I hope things will never happen again." Until it becomes clear, your friend should not leave Xisha City in order to assist in the investigation."
Coming out of the city hall, Naviti said to Cesanil: "Don't worry about this. I will definitely help you get through it."
"Thank you." Cesanil smiled gratefully.
Naviti patted him and said: "Thank you, we are friends, you saved my life, and you were with us yesterday. I believe you. But the mining of minerals may be delayed. But I will take care of it, go back to the hotel first, and I’ll contact my dad.”
“Yeah. "
Back at the hotel, Cesanil thought darkly: "I didn't expect that Bandera would know about the face of the demon and almost let my identity be exposed. Fortunately, Naviti trusted me for my decision. It was so sudden. I came here originally to develop minerals, but I didn’t expect to hear the dragon again after I arrived. Regarding Zero's news, Monina was initially asked to deal with Long Ling's matter, but she didn't know much about Long Ling, so she had to ask her to pretend to be me and continue to approach Naviti. It seemed that I had to be cautious until the matter was settled. It's done, I can't let others know that I have the map. Hmm... I can't meet them again on Reko's side. . ”
……
The golden sand was scorched by the sun. A man was walking slowly in the desert while leading a camel. The desert was so big that it couldn’t be seen at a glance. The end is like an endless sea, submerging everything, including the footprints left by a person and a camel.
The wind and sand came and went. The man walking on the sand dune raised the sand hat on his head. His black hair was blown by the wind in front of his forehead. He revealed a pair of clear black eyes and looked ahead. It was impossible to argue with him just by looking like this. In any direction, you can only see more sand. The person leading the camel had no choice but to lower the Sha Li again, lowered his head and continued to move forward against the wind and sand.
......
The corpse was placed in the church morgue. Alice and others were shocked when they saw the corpse.
Commander clicked his tongue and said: "It's so cruel. He cut off his hands and feet, disemboweled his heart, and even his head was chopped off. The person who killed him really hated him."
The surrounding air was spewing cold air, and the surrounding ice blocks lowered the temperature in the morgue. Jennifer looked at Alice and asked: "What are you going to see here?"
"I came here to confirm one thing." Alice stared at the corpse and said to the four people around her: "Take off his clothes."
The fat corpse was buried like a dead pig. After being lifted up, the clothes on his body were quickly stripped off. Alice stepped forward and looked at it inch by inch, as if she was discovering something on the body.
Jennifer looked at her companion and thought Alice's behavior was strange. After a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Alice, what are you looking at?"
"I'm looking to see if this person is Copperchin." Alice said.
The four of them were startled, and Jennifer said: "Are you saying that this person might not be Kobochin?"
Alice went around the corpse bed to examine the corpse and said: "Generally speaking, there are only two reasons for cutting off the head after killing. One is that the murderer hates death extremely, and not cutting off the other person's head is not enough to calm the hatred in his heart. intention; the second reason is to conceal the true identity of the deceased "
"We also know this."
Alice nodded: "This person is not Cobochin."
"What?!" The four of them were startled, and Comand asked hurriedly: "You How do you know?"
Rourke also looked at the corpse and shook his head and said, "No, I also looked at the corpse carefully. This guy is very similar to Kobochin in terms of body shape, and he has thin skin and tender flesh. My skin is well maintained, which is very important in a dry place like Xisha. Few people have such skin, and they look like pampered people. Moreover, Koboqin has the habit of using incense. I can smell the aroma of incense even without getting close to this guy’s body. This is caused by years of exposure to incense. How could he not be Kobochin? ”
Alice didn't say anything, she just stretched out her hand and pointed, pointing to the part of Cobochin's right hand.
The four of them came up to take a look and wondered: "What's wrong? Is there no problem?"
Alice said: "Look at the ring on the index finger of his right hand. The ring is very smooth, which is caused by playing with the ring for a long time I remember that Kobochin had a habit of unconsciously rubbing the ring on his index finger with the root of his right thumb. When I was talking to him, I noticed this on his hand. The area also has a very smooth thin layer Cocoon, but this person didn’t.”
Jennifer said hurriedly: “According to what you said, Cobochin is really not dead?”
Alice said: “I think he is already dead. He left this as a back-up move for himself, knowing that someone wanted to kill him. It's impossible for him not to take precautions. This is probably a self-directed and self-acted illusion. He just waits to get rid of all the people who know his true identity and secrets, then fakes his death and changes his appearance. When he leaves this place, no one will know him again. Him.”
"This guy is so scheming. Were all the things he did from the beginning just for this step?"
Alice said: "Perhaps this is his last resort. Here is The city and home he has worked hard to build for more than 20 years may not be given up casually. Perhaps he was just He wanted to get rid of the few people who knew his identity, and then safely become his knight and the real owner of Xisha City. But things got complicated, so he faked his death and escaped. Maybe he has already left Xisha."
< br>"Do you want to tell this matter? So that you can mobilize those people in the dark to find him?" Jennifer asked.
Alice shook her head: "Leave, the coroner will come to do the autopsy soon, don't let them find us."
