The Voyage of Exchange——Chapter 47: Closing the Case
Sofia, who has no professional medical knowledge, can also judge that it is impossible to leave the church with Parliwitch. Assuming that Parliwitch has no breathing, no heartbeat and a large amount of blood loss, he is not dead yet.
The process may also be completely dead.
This situation is like a theory put forward by a magician in the Principality of Cyrus that Sofia has never heard of. It is impossible to judge whether a bird in a closed court box is alive or not. After all, as long as the box is opened, only death can be observed.
After thinking about this, Sophia no longer hesitated, and decisively tore open the scroll of magic. However, the familiar hazy white light did not fall, and Parryweitch's body was not repaired. He was a third-level god who could repair not only his body but also his soul.
Technique.
Just when Sophia was stunned and didn't know why! Parryweich's face quickly turned rosy, and it could be said that his face was flushed. "You, you, you, why are you using such expensive things to someone you just met!!! Isn't that right?
Has it become a favor that I owe you my life?" The excited Parryweich grabbed Sophia's wrist, which had red marks on it.
The torn scroll had been burned due to loss of effectiveness. In the firelight, the various physical indicators of Parryweich's body could be said to have quickly returned to the level of a normal person - no, it should be said that it had already exceeded normal.
people.
Sofia didn't know whether Parrywicz's red face was because of shame, a favor he owed, or the previous kiss.
"Are you an idiot?! Didn't I already tell you that I recognize you as my companion? Why are companions still so entangled in this? Although I am stingy, I have never been stingy in this regard." Sophia rolled her eyes and said
His wrist broke away from Parli Weiqi, and then he grabbed Parli Weiqi's hand. "We will discuss this matter later. Now is not the time to dwell on this. Where is the suspect? We have to catch him. Now he has a
It's equivalent to two more lives, so we can't take advantage of him."
"Wow, you're so cunning. I really hate you the most!" Parryweich's skin began to darken in color, and its liquefied volume shrank. In just two seconds, it turned into the yellow pupil that Sophia had seen.
The black cat's clothes were swept away by the cat's claws and flew into the fire.
Immediately after landing, the cat jumped onto Sophia's sweaty shoulders again. "Originally, I wanted to induce you to kill the murderer by mistake. Even so, do you still think that I am your companion?" Its voice sounded a little bit.
tremble.
"I will not judge a person based on what has not happened yet. What has not happened yet just hasn't happened. Only 'history' that has actually existed can be used to judge people or things in the present and future.
This is the bottom line for me as a historian and as a scribe who records what has happened.”
"Since I haven't made a mistake before, then this premise is not valid, and the follow-up you mentioned cannot happen. But I am very happy that you can tell me about this matter, which means that at least you really told me what you said before.
I listened to what you said." Sofia shook her head and said these words in a calm tone. This was not only a reply to Parivitch's question, but also a way to strengthen her own thoughts. At the same time, she also completely changed her original thoughts about those monkeys in the forest.
Abandoned.
During Sophia's tirade, Parivitch said nothing and pointed at the small door with his tail. When these words were almost finished, Sophia also walked to the end of the winding passage inside the temple.
The girl saw the situation at the end of the road. The old man was trying a bunch of keys to open an iron fence. But he probably heard Sofia's footsteps, so the old man put down the keys and raised his hand.
"The explorer is so fast. I lost, so take me away." The murderer's voice was steady, not like a cat that had its tail stepped on or a dog with a big hole in its belly.
He let out a desperate whimper.
There is not a lot of blood stains on the prisoner, which makes sense. Assuming that the prisoner is not an ordinary person, and the dagger was shot out by some method, there will be no blood stains on his body. However, this cannot explain why the blood stains are not enough. If he is an ordinary person, there will be mechanisms.
possibility.
Unlike the previously open doors, there is an upward staircase and a downward staircase on the left and right at the end, both of which are locked by iron bars.
After all, he was a murderer who could hurt Pali Weiqi. Just in case, Sophia activated her potential in advance and quickly took out the rope she used during her adventure. "You didn't make such a big noise just to escape.
Are you going to give up?" The girl looked at the man and got closer. At the same time, she was prepared to catch and stop him without causing any harm if he made any unusual move.
But the old man was just tied up obediently by Sophia, who had not trained in rope skills. The murderer did not try to get angry or make any small moves, and his breathing was very stable. "What's the noise? It seems that the chapel was on fire, but in the end it was
It can only be the fault of accidental fire, and you don’t have conclusive evidence anyway.”
"Tell me your name, identity, purpose of doing these things, and information about the victim." Sophia frowned, feeling that this person's reaction was too abnormal. At this time, the black cat on her shoulder jumped down
, press one of the keys on the chain with the cat's paw.
"I have the right to remain silent. I will speak when I get to the person who needs to speak." Then the black cat raised its paws and touched the exposed calf skin of Sophia's boots with its meat ball.
Sofia thought for a while and searched her body first, just in case he had any hidden tools. Then the girl held down the murderer with one hand, picked up the keychain with the other, and looked at the key held down by Parivitch.
The murderer paused for a moment when Sophia bent down to pick up the key and made a metal collision sound. She was keenly aware of what Parryweich had said before, and the offensive language did not have an effect, perhaps because of the murderer.
He is sure that he will not be convicted of murder by the guards, and this bunch of keys contains clues leading to the so-called decisive evidence.
So Sofia stuffed a piece of cloth into the man's mouth, and tied his mouth with the remaining part of the rope to prevent him from spitting out the cloth, lest he bite his tongue and commit suicide. After that, he tied up his hands, legs, etc.
Go around a few more times to make sure he can't move his hands or feet at will before you feel at ease.
Perhaps not expecting Sofia's actions again, the black cat passed through the opposite iron fence and looked back at Sofia. At this time, the girl directly carried the murderer up, and then tried to open the iron fence with the key.
Sofia tried it, but the key could not open the iron fence on the downward staircase that the murderer had tried to open before. Parrywitch walked up the spiral staircase with graceful steps inside the iron fence on the upward staircase.
After changing the direction, this time the iron fence opened. This should be the stairs leading to the bell tower. And this kind of fence should be able to be opened with bare hands by Sofia's arm strength. So she took back the key and followed Parivitch up to take a look.
, and at the same time, I was also sensing whether there were any living creatures or other movements up and down the ladder fence... I followed the black cat and started climbing the stairs. It took two minutes to reach the top.
At the top of the bell tower, the view instantly broadens. The night view of Se'an is divided into two sections by the double-hole bridge. One section is brightly lit, and the other is a dark scene with only sporadic firelight.
At the same time, Sofia, who was still on the last few steps of the stairs, discovered a thin arm bone hanging from the big brass clock. If you didn't look from the bottom up, you wouldn't be able to find the corpse hidden inside the big clock.
The stone bricks outside the surrounding iron fence were badly worn, and a small amount of stone powder was blown by the wind onto Sofia's face. At this moment, Sofia thought of Nina holding on to the iron fence and looking down at the city from the outside of the bell tower.
The black cat lay quietly next to the big clock, seeming to remind Sophia to take out the body.
All the fragmentary information is strung together, and it may not be possible to know the whole picture, but Sophia can also detect that this corpse was hidden here a long time ago. Even if it is rotten, there will be no smell.
People can only be judged as missing.
The murder case in the shipyard was committed recently, and these two cases were committed by the same murderer. The difference is that the second murderer not only increased the number of crimes and the number of victims, but also provoked the city's law enforcement officers.
.
It is precisely because of this kind of arrogance that distorts honor that this murderer, who may have been sanctimonious in front of others, ruined himself.
[Did Nina actually take action for this matter a long time ago?] Sofia thought, but if she only found the corpse, Nina may not be able to meet the conditions.
Putting this idea aside, Sophia looked at the big clock and thought that the corpse should be very important, so she found a pillar to support the big clock, tied the murderer up and made sure that he could not move or affect the big clock, and then used the wrong method
On the premise that the corpse has caused secondary damage, carefully take out the corpse.
It was a short skeleton, and the bones hung haphazardly by chains were extremely well preserved. Judging from the pelvis and height, this should be a teenage girl.
[This bastard!! Such a young girl can do this!!] Seeing this corpse, Sophia was very angry. She carefully removed the chains. At this time, Sophia discovered that although the bones had no flesh and blood, they were strangely linked together.
, like unclean creatures.
[In this case, is this girl made into an unclean creature?!] Sofia gritted her teeth and looked at the prisoner to see his reaction.
The prisoner's eyes were dull, but his facial muscles showed an expression of wanting to laugh. This would surely serve as a decisive blow to reveal the circumstances of the case.
"I set up a triggering spell here so that I don't have to leave the church, otherwise a troublesome woman will come looking for trouble." Black Cat said in a neutral voice.
The murderer looked at the black cat with an expression of sudden realization. Unexpectedly, the place where the body was hidden had been discovered long ago, but his mouth was sealed, otherwise he would probably have to mumble a lot.
Normally, the corpse can be put into the space ring, but it can't be done now... "Okay, wait for me." Sophia took out the tent cloth, put the corpse on it, and then spread the cloth to cover it.
After finishing, Sophia packed up her things and got ready to leave. "Next, it's time to take them out of here."
