Chapter 441 Murder Case

The two recent light rains dispelled the heat that had lasted for several months.

The weather became cooler, and you had to wear a coat when you go out in the morning and evening. Even Worm was not reluctant to go out to play.

After Rhode tricked Lucy, he left the guild with Mira and rented a carriage to go to Ravender Village.

It was not impossible to go directly by river crab, but it was more comfortable to take a carriage, and there was a little privacy, so it was more convenient for two people to talk.

We stopped to rest for a while at noon, and arrived at Ravender Village in the afternoon.

Rhode saw through the perspective of the river crab responsible for exploring the way along the way. Now most of the crops have been harvested, and only a few scattered plots of land still have yellow crops that have not been processed in time.

After half a year, the wall outside the village has been well built, which is based on the vine wall that Rhode asked the tree monster to make before he left last time.

Most of the incinerators used to deal with rat corpses and feces have been demolished, and the strange smell that lingered in the village for a long time has long disappeared.

Rhodes got off the carriage and carried Mira down. He found that the land here was not wet. It might be that the rain in the past few days did not fall here.

Someone passed by with a cart of rice. He recognized the two people who just got off the car and said in surprise: "Master wizard? Oh, Mr. Rhodes, Miss Mira."

"Lightning?" Rhodes still remembered this person. He was responsible for guarding the fire at the entrance of the village, and he ran around to help everywhere. He was a very diligent person.

"I didn't expect you still remember me." Lightning was happy and suddenly realized, "You are here to participate in the harvest festival, right? The village chief seemed to have mentioned this."

"It is indeed Mr. Jasper who invited us here. Is he at home now?"

"He should be preparing for tomorrow's activities in the center of the village, right? You can go directly there. If you are not there, just rest at home. I'm here... Sorry." Lightning gestured to the cart he was pushing.

Rhodes waved his hand: "Oh, you are busy, it's okay, we all know the way."

Lightning said goodbye to them and pushed the cart away.

Mira paid the fare, and the coachman looked at Rhodes with envy.

Rhodes was in a good mood.

The two walked into the village side by side, and the two river crabs were sent by Rhodes to patrol nearby.

Some people in the village were carrying and threshing, and the villagers were in a busy scene. The spirit of the villagers was much better than when there was a rat infestation.

Many people on the road recognized them and greeted them enthusiastically.

A little girl followed the two for a short distance, and Mira stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little girl shook her head: "Sister is so beautiful, can I become so beautiful when I grow up?"

Rhodes took a closer look. The little girl had two chirps tied on her head, freckles on her face, and a missing front tooth in her mouth. She spoke a little bit.

Actually, she is quite cute, but her smile is terrible.

Mira touched her head: "Of course, maybe she is more beautiful than me."

"Taifei! Don't make trouble, come home quickly!" A shout came from not far away.

The little girl responded and turned back.

But she fell flat on her face after running a few steps. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She got up and ran back home without even shaking off the dirt.

The posture of falling flat on the ground and the proficiency of getting up reminded Rhode of Wendy. He didn't know how she was doing recently.

The last time I came back in a hurry, she must have been worried for a long time. I'll write her a letter in a few days, or just contact her directly with the communication magic crystal.

"Carry the wood over there and put it here, yes, over there..."

The two arrived at the center of the village and saw the village chief directing others to set up the venue.

A platform more than two meters high had been built in front, with an offering table on it, which seemed to be used for sacrifice.

There were also colorful flags and various decorations around, and the festive atmosphere was strong.

After approaching, Rhode shouted, "Mr. Jasper."

Jasper asked without turning his head, "What's the matter?"

It was just that he felt something was wrong after he finished speaking. People in the village either called him Jasper or the village chief. It was rare to add "Mr."

Jasper turned around and asked in surprise: "Mr. Rhodes, Miss Mira? Why are you here?"

Are there any problems? Rhodes asked in confusion: "Didn't you assign us to be guards?"

"Ah, no, ah, yes..." Jasper was a little incoherent, "I mean, the harvest festival will not start until tomorrow evening, why are you here so early?"

"Because I suddenly received the guard mission, I was worried that something might happen here, so I came here a day in advance to take a look and make preparations if necessary." Rhodes explained his plan.

Mira asked: "Excuse me, has anything happened near the village? Why do you suddenly spend a lot of money to hire guards?"

Jasper hesitated and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Ah, no, if I have to say, there is actually something that makes people feel uneasy..."

"Village chief, where is this?" Two young men brought a stone mortar for beating glutinous rice cakes.

"Put it over there!" Jasper turned around and said apologetically, "It's not convenient to talk here, why don't we go to my house first?"

Mira asked, "What about things here?"

"It's the same if I ask my wife to come over and take care of it. Just tell the young people how to set it up."

Jasper led the two of them home while talking.

It's hard to say that there is only a chat on the road. Rhodes asked the situation of the village: "It seems that the harvest this year seems to be very good."

"Thanks to the help of the two, the rat will start to grab the planting immediately after the mouse is resolved. This year's rainwater, the harvest is great."

Speaking of this, Jasper's face was full of joy, "No one dares to believe it, it is obviously one year when the rats are disaster, but the harvest is better than in previous years. a little."

"That's really good." Mira was very happy, which showed that Rhodes' last effort was not in vain.

"But ... I also later learned that the two were so famous magic guides. The last remuneration was really ..."

Rhodes said, "Please don't mention it anymore. The magic guide does not charge for his reputation. Since it has been said at the beginning, it has nothing to do with other aspects."

He admires the labor efficiency of the villagers and the speed of the realization of crops.

Before returning home, Jasper said a lot of thanks.

Mrs. Tara saw her husband and asked, "Back so early ... Is there a guest?"

Jasper said: "It was Mr. Rhodes and Miss Mira last time."

"Ah, I'll make tea right away."

"I'm here, you can stare at the venue, don't let the boys meson, we have something to say here."

Mrs. Tara wondered a little: "Okay, so lost."

Rhodes and Mira didn't care about this kind of thing, after all, things over there were also important.

Jasper poured tea, and the three quickly chatted.

"About Miss Mira asked, what happened recently ..." Jasper hesitated, and then said, "Someone was killed at the beginning of the month."

"Murder? Is the people in the village be killed?" Rhodeshable was taken aback. Even in the world of magical prevalence, the killing case is rare.

He had been able to encounter the killing of the Dark Association or the Black Magic because he always ran to a dangerous place. This belongs to the survivor deviation, and ordinary people may not be able to meet once in a lifetime.

A sad expression on Mira's face, even if it was called a devil, couldn't ignore her life.

Jasper shook his head and said, "It's not a person in the village, but a businessman who often come to do business nearby. A total of 5 people, including the driver and helper, were killed on the way back.

It was already overnight when the body was discovered, so no one saw what kind of person is the murderer.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

The money on those people disappeared, but although the goods were turned over, they stayed well, and even horses and carriages were there. "

"Stopping the road and robbing, and then killing the mouth?" Rhode frowned, but felt wrong.

If you really want to rob, you should even drive away the carriage together.

Jasper said: "The security team in the town has investigated, saying that such traces are like a magic guide, and they have no way to deal with it. They can only go to the house for review."

"Review House ..."

The audit of the auditorium is nowadays, and I do n’t know when it can return to normal operation. This is just a matter of suspected magic guides, I am afraid that it will not be able to deal with it.

"In short, it's almost half a month, and there is no news at all. Everyone dare not go too far. It's better these days."

Mira asked: "Then that case has been put on hold?"

Jasper nodded: "Yes, the remains are taken away by the law and order team, and now it should have been buried by the family."

Mira said: "It turns out that this is because of this, so you are worried that when the man comes to trouble or even kill when the harvest festival, do you ask me to come over as a guard?"

"It is not exactly because of that unknown murderer. In fact, since we learned the news of the underwriting of the judge, we found that the security of nearby villages and towns was getting worse and worse.

Even if you are usually, you can be careful to pass it, but you can pass, but you have to do such a lively event such a lively harvest offer.

Such an important festival cannot be canceled because of poor law and order, so I had to do it with my scalp. It happens that we know the two reliable magic guides of you. With you, everyone will be more at ease. "

In fact, the most economical and affairs solution is to cancel the other. However, for the people here, the harvest festival is the most important festival of the year.

Just like you can't go home for the New Year because you can't go home because you can't go home for the New Year.

Rhodes and Mira looked at each other and nodded: "So, our task content is to prevent possible foreign enemies that may appear, right?"

"Um ... ah, yes." Jasper seemed a little bit vomiting again.

"Do you have anything else to add?" Rhodes asked, "Before confirming that the task begins, it is best to explain everything to avoid subsequent disputes."

"Ah, no more." Jasper said, "We will give it, you can give it first, there will be no disputes, please rest assured."

His performance made Rhodes hard to rest assured, as if anyone had set up a set for him.

But although there were doubts, there was no reason to refuse the task now. The two had to come down and decided to be careful.

Rhodes put the task on the desktop: "Then the task is established. Regarding the killing case, we hope to get more detailed information."

Jasper wondered: "Do you need to know that guarding mission?"

Rhodes said, "Of course, if we can check who the murderer is within a day and solve him, it will be relieved once and for all.

Even if it can't, at least through clues, you can understand the information of the other party's magic and the way of combat. In case of pair, you have a bottom. "

Jasper said embarrassedly: "I only know that the businessman is called Specker. Other information needs to ask the security team in the town to understand."

This is the same. The villagers are not Conan. No one will be able to make up the scene of the murder. Naturally, there will not be too much about the case.

Rhodes said: "At least tell us where is the scene?"

"It was about 2 kilometers east after getting out of the village. There was a road to the town. It was about two or three kilometers in the southwest direction along the road, but there should be nothing left for such a long time? "

"I have to see this before you see it." Rhodes stood up, "Then we start working now."

"Ah, yes, the two residences are still arranged in my house, or the original room, do you want to rest first and eat something?"

"No need, while the sky is not dark, let's go to see the scene first, just keep the room for us."

The two left the village head and walked outside the village.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Mira asked: "Do you think that Mr. Village Chief is wrong?"

Rhodes said: "It's wrong, I always feel that there is something to hide from us and spitting."

"I also feel like this too."

"Be careful, let's not eat it, and we should use the ingredients brought by yourself."

Rhodes felt such a suspicious performance. It is necessary to prevent one hand first. Even if you have to eat, you have to see if others eat it.

The name task sounds very powerful, but it is also easy to be used by people to pierce the named magician.

High income, also accompanied by high risk, has to be guarded.

Mira said: "Have you forgotten? Poison is invalid for the demon."

Rhodes asked: "Sleeping pills, anesthesia or the like?"

"..." Mira was silent, "effective."

"So, girls don't drink other people's things when they go out."

Rhodes took out a pair of Yang mirrors to put on Mira, and took a step back to enjoy: "It's really good."
