Cheng Shi naturally didn't know that Du Xiguang had asked Fang Jue to go out and party in the middle of the night.
He was currently on the first floor of the inn, trying to get information from the drunkards who often drank with the "bard".
They seemed to care nothing about the death of their drinking buddy, and only cared whether there was a discount on drinks today.
It’s the same old routine. Cheng Shi stole the wine from other tables and brought it to this table to change the story.
Seeing the free wine, a few drunkards exaggerated the story of their brotherhood with the "bard".
"Athos is an experienced traveler. Although he doesn't drink much, he has a wide range of knowledge. It is said that he has even been to many places underground."
"You said he was a puppet? Don't be ridiculous, man. He must have been replaced. How can a puppet drink alcohol? Won't it get rusty? Besides, he paid for the alcohol."
"Why should I care where the real him is? I just want to know where his money is. Damn it, his room has been emptied by the law enforcement officers. I heard that he made a lot of money by writing books. If I could inherit this money, I could probably drink until the day I die."
"Bullshit, I am Athos's son, and only I have the right of inheritance."
"What? A follower of [Filth]? He is not a follower of [Filth], he is a beggar of faith, he believes in every god.
How do I know? He can recite seven or eight prayers to the gods in one breath. Can you?"
"Hey, buddy, do you have any free wine? If not, go ask the boss for some. Athos often does this, and the boss will always give you a bottle or two."
Cheng Shi withdrew from the table with a stiff smile, and the moment he returned to the room, his expression became gloomy.
It was a very advanced puppet technique, and none of the drinkers noticed anything was wrong with him.
There are only a handful of professions that can achieve this level of puppet control. If you want to be related to [Defilement] and [Death], then there is only one profession:
Desire rules.
A wizard who believes in [Defilement].
A profession that can create puppets with desire.
The question is where is this murderer, who is suspected to be the master of desire, hiding now?
No puppet could be too far away from its master, so it seemed that the murderer was still in the inn.
But...can he hide it so well?
He was not suspected by anyone, did not reveal any clues, and even used puppets to trick the people of the Grand Inquisition. He did not look like he was at a disadvantage at all.
Cheng Shi even wondered if exposing "When Fear Comes" was part of his plan.
Because such a secretive killer only needs to carry the murder weapon with him and it is impossible for him to be found.
So why did he place the semi-artifact in the room? Was it to deliver it to the Inquisition?
What is his intention in doing this?
etc! !
Is it possible! ?
His target was the Inquisitor?
Mercius!!??
Cheng Shi was shocked by his own thoughts, but when he thought about it carefully, all the details matched perfectly.
Use a puppet to create chaos, downplay one's own existence, and then throw the murder weapon to make the Grand Inquisition feel that victory is in its grasp.
The next step is naturally to use [When Fear Comes] in Moqius's hand to complete some unexpected operations.
Cheng Shi took a few deep breaths and a bold guess arose in his mind.
Could it be that the sacrifice for this trial...is Mo Qiu Si?
How is that possible!
A First-Class Inquisitor of the Grand Tribunal?
Just look at the public’s reaction and you’ll know how deep this guy’s popular support is; just look at the way Yunni and Ascetic died and you’ll know how powerful this guy is.
How can players solve this kind of problem?
Uh...you know, 6 players with level 2400 may not be the answer.
The problem is that three of them are dead now, and one of the remaining three is a scoundrel.
Of course, I won’t tell you who that bastard is.
But there is another possibility, that the sacrifice is the murderer.
But at the moment, this "sacrifice" seems to be more troublesome than the Grand Inquisitor.
Players still haven't found where he is.
The clues are intermittent and the inference can only be made by guessing.
Cheng Shi stayed in the room all night, thinking and paying attention to the movements next door.
Finally, at 2:30 in the morning, a subtle noise was heard at the door.
Cheng Shi looked up in astonishment.
"?"
Why is the noise coming from my own door?
He immediately got out of bed quietly and slowly approached the door. After confirming that there was indeed someone outside, Cheng Shi did not take a conservative and cautious defensive posture, but suddenly opened the door unexpectedly.
The moment the door was quickly opened, a waiter with a look of astonishment and embarrassment lost his support and fell sideways into the room, falling flat on his face without mercy.
waiter?
Cheng Shi quickly stepped on the waiter's shoulder and asked playfully:
"Why, you're still working part-time after getting off work so late?"
The waiter obviously didn't understand Cheng Shi's teasing. He smiled awkwardly but said without struggling:
"I'm sorry to bother you, but my boss said you were injured, so he asked me to get some medicine. It's in my coat pocket."
Cheng Shi didn't move, but stepped hard:
"Oh? Then I have to thank your boss, but is this how you deliver medicine?"
The waiter laughed awkwardly and said with a red face:
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I was too curious. I will report the truth to my boss. Please forgive me."
The waiter didn't lie and his attitude was sincere, so it didn't seem like he was deceitful.
