Chapter 400 Another clue
The four of them were sitting in Leonard’s home looking at each other.
They were suddenly free.
Not long ago, they were scrambling for time, and even communication could only be done on the road. At this time, the four of them suddenly became outsiders. Dr. Swain went to check Leonard's condition and tried to find a cure using secret methods, while Terry Knight To trace the source of the murder weapon, the four of them... were thrown on the spot at Leonard's house in the south corner of the city. The key is that neither of the two people realized this.
You can't just throw it away after use. This is too immoral.
He looked directly at the two auxiliary soldiers who were left standing guard at the crime scene for a few seconds. The auxiliary soldiers looked confused. Lin Qi himself felt bored and could only move away angrily. He looked around and pretended not to hear Miss Diana's snickering in his ears.
Officer Natalie, who had received professional training, did not snicker, she laughed very loudly.
Actually, no one really blamed Dr. Swain and Terry Knight. Instead, they were a little touched by their reaction.
This at least shows that they really wanted to protect the city, but unfortunately they failed in the end.
Now why is this happening? What happened in real history? If those people didn't die at the hands of ghouls, what happened to the ghoul invasion? That was an event that happened normally in both tests, so it should be consistent with history.
Lynch can't find the answers to these questions yet, but at least he can be sure of one thing.
The crisis of ghoul transformation is not over yet, because the memories of strange objects have not ended. So no matter who is the real culprit behind the scenes, he must have a back-up plan.
"What should we do now?" Officer Natalie asked naturally. "Go back to Dr. Swain's house and wait for news?"
"No, it's not time to stop yet. The culprit may be there at any time." Launch the next attack," Lynch said with a frown, "Kemit and Leonard mean that the first step of his ritual has been successful, and the existence of Leonard means that even if he is not injured, he can still get sick. It means that the other party can create a second Leonard without warning, and a crisis may come at any time."
For a while, the three ladies fell into silence. This is the biggest problem now.
"And I don't quite understand." Lynch said hesitantly. "According to Ms. Nightingale, isn't it very complicated to create a mystical problem? At least defeat the three evil gods in the same area. Will, why is there a plague here? Is the plague here just an ordinary plague, not a mystical plague? "
"You misunderstood, Mr. Lynch," Miss Diana said. The standard plague is caused by the outbreak of divine power, and the strongest effect is caused by the simultaneous outbreak all over the world. But in fact, if you just want to create a small-scale occult plague, it is not that troublesome. You can use the effects of some strange objects, or even some The belief in evil gods can be achieved by combining mysterious potions and mysterious rituals, but the simpler the process, the worse the effect and scope. Some are even similar to an ordinary plague, and there is almost no mystery. "
"I understand." Lynch nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder the plague here is almost identical in symptoms, but does not have the characteristics of a direct outbreak of airborne infection. It seems that our era is an enhancement and upgrade here. Advanced version. However, the situation here is still of great reference value to us. From this aspect, it seems that we really want to thank the Lord of Billions of Glory for giving us such a good opportunity."
"So what now?" Natalie asked, "Are you going to find that crazy old man?"
"No, the old man has made an appointment for the evening, so don't worry, he will come by himself if there is an emergency Those who are looking for us, these guys who play with time and prophecy cannot use common sense, so don’t worry about them.”
Lynch recalled the meeting with Ms. Skye in the round house in Wilson Town not long ago, shaking Shaking his head, he stood up and looked at the sunshine outside the window. It looked like it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon: "We want to go outside the city first, so we went out through the south gate and planted the last five fruits on the way. When we come back, we can plant the ten fruits from yesterday. After feeding, the time should be almost up.”
The south gate of Novland is not a relatively prosperous city gate. The south of the city is a gravel wilderness with no farmland and no roads. Therefore, few people come in and out from here, even formal soldiers wearing leather armor. There is only one of them, and the remaining three gatekeepers are all auxiliary soldiers.
You certainly can’t grow human face fruit in the gravel wasteland, but Lynch acted as if he was playing into his heart, and left the city after giving a few perfunctory words to the guarding soldiers.
As soon as he saw this guy, he had another purpose. It wasn't until he left the city that Officer Natalie asked: "Is there anything here?"
"They use their own way to track down the murderer and solve the problem, and we also have ours. The fastest way is to work together." Lynch said, "I think Leonard entered the city through the south gate last night." "Huh?" The three ladies obviously didn't. Following Lynch's train of thought, they were stunned. Officer Natalie asked doubtfully, "I just asked, the capital is in the east, so he should enter the city from the east, right?"
"But I think he entered the city through the south gate, so I came here to take a look." Lin Qi suddenly smiled strangely, blinked narrowly and said, "How about we make a bet? If you lose, then... ow."
Lin Qi hugged his right leg and jumped several steps on the gravel ground. He felt that his toes were about to burst. However, on one side, he looked questioningly and curiously, and on the other side, he said, I will kill you if you dare to say anything. With a look of horror in his eyes, Lynch gave up on the spot and immediately changed the subject and got down to business:
“The murder weapon, he hid the murder weapon in his own home, which means that he went home first and hid the murder weapon before killing Kemi. He was specially sent back to the fortress. Otherwise, if he was carrying such a big weapon, the people in the fortress would not be able to see it unless they were blind. And if he entered the city through the east gate, he would run wildly through the city with a bloody Kemet. , it is obviously unrealistic to go back home in the opposite direction to hide the murder weapon, so the most likely possibility is that he went back through the south gate, went home on the way and hid the murder weapon before going to the fortress. Of course, it is also possible that he did enter the city through the east gate. I just hid the murder weapon before entering the city and went out to get it this morning, but..."
"No." Miss Diana was immediately distracted and denied, "I paid attention and found that there was some blood on the firewood pile of the murder weapon. If it was hidden this morning, the blood would have dried long ago. It was impossible to stick to the firewood pile, and there was no time. When we went there, the city gate had just opened. But there is also a problem. Others may not have realized that he had a problem before, so they defaulted to him from the east gate. No one who entered the city would mention the city gate. Even if the east gate guard didn't see him entering the city, no one would care. But the south gate guard saw him riding into the city from the south gate. Such a strange thing would definitely happen. You have to ask, not to mention that he is carrying a wounded person and a murder weapon. It is impossible for the guards at the south gate not to pay attention..."
"So this is the biggest problem," Lin Qi sneered. , "Why didn't the guards at the south gate pay attention?"
"Maybe they were distracted by something, or... they were in the same group."
Officer Natalie calmly gave the answer that made the atmosphere tense. Then she suddenly grabbed Lynch's wrist and pointed to the ground near the short city wall.
A light-colored ground, dotted with dark brown patches.
Dried blood.
The four looked at each other and realized that Lynch's deduction was probably correct.
There is probably something wrong with the four guards at the south gate.
