According to the agreement, he waited for three days. In order to avoid accidents within this time, Donald also deliberately limited the scope of activities to the street where the hotel was located.

The only time I've been to other neighborhoods is to buy a new carriage or take a look outside the workshop, don't bother, just make sure the artisan is still working.

"We will leave the city directly after we get the space ring later."

Still sitting in front of the carriage with horses as usual, Donald hasn't slept very well in the last two nights, only recovering with shallow meditation.

"I haven't gone out to check the situation for the past three days, and I don't know what the situation in the city is now."

The collection of intelligence was stopped due to restricted movement, and now few people know what happened in Corta City. This kind of feeling of being out of control of the surrounding environment is not good.

"We're not here to investigate the case. There's no need to make it so clear. Anyway, we won't stay here for a long time. Here, this... Was it like this when we came here last time?"

The carriage turned the corner. Donald's eyes had just withdrawn from the chimney of a nearby machinery factory, but the next second he saw that the door of the workshop where the craftsman who had been commissioned to make the space ring was closed.

"Tsk, a bad feeling..."

Parking the carriage aside, Donald walked to the lamppost at the main entrance first, not in a hurry to check the reconnaissance eye, but just glanced to confirm that the inscription still existed and was not damaged by external forces, and then approached the workshop.

"The windows on the first and second floors are all closed, the door... can't be pushed open, it seems to be locked from the inside, it's nine o'clock in the morning, there's no reason to still sleep at this time, what should I do, break the door? "

Anthony stood at the door, raised his hand and pressed the door panel and pushed it inside, without any wavering, his left hand immediately touched the short handle of the knife on his waist.

"Don't worry, maybe it's a temporary outing to purchase materials or something urgent. It's not appropriate to force it, Liluo, feel it, is there anyone in the workshop."

While opening the spirit vision to check the situation in the house, Donald asked Lilo to also participate in the search.

"Donald, second floor, die."

Lilo's answer completely shattered Donald's fluke.

"I really like to cause trouble for people!"

With a gloomy face, his fingers pointed at the door lock, and he directly released the mental shock. An invisible air wave rushed directly into the lock hole, and even the metal door frame vibrated in an instant. The ash on the wall fell, and Donald kicked the door. Lilo took the initiative to stand in front of the team and rushed to the second floor.

Donald and Stephanie and Julia walked behind, closing the door again.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Donald saw the craftsman lying on the bed with a soothing expression on his face, and he was covered with a bed full of blood, apparently killed by someone in his sleep.

Donald raised his palm, and in an instant, all the drawers or cabinets in the room were floating in the middle of the house price.

The mental power swept through everything, and then began to spread to the whole house, and cooperated with the spirit vision to check whether there were any dark spaces in the room.

"The space ring, no more."

Donald really doesn't care if he dies or not, as long as the space ring is still there, everything is easy to say, but when an opened wooden box in the second drawer of the bedside table floated in front of him, his cheeks seemed to be covered with frost.

Turning his gaze to the corpse on the bed, his mental force lifted the quilt and made it float above the corpse.

"The fatal wound was on the chest, the penetrating wound, and looking at his facial expression, it should have been a sneak attack while he was sleeping. The bedroom door was locked when we came in, and there was no sign of being picked, indicating that it was the artisan's anti-lock before sleep. Yes, then the sneak attack can only come from the window...Donald, come and see."

Anthony quickly came to the same conclusion as Donald based on the traces on the scene, and approached the window. There was only one window in this bedroom. Anthony opened it with a slight push. Remember to lock the doors on the first and second floors together. How could the craftsman just ignore the window directly facing his bed.

Donald leaned over and saw that there were signs of corrosion on the latch of the window.

"The location here corresponds to the back door. Check the reconnaissance eye on the lamppost at the back door. The body of the deceased is not completely stiff, and the charcoal in the bedroom fireplace has some sparks. The craftsman should have been killed from late last night to early this morning."

At this time, the importance of the reconnaissance eye placed by Donald three days ago is reflected. It can record all the conditions in an area before the inscription effect disappears.

"Stephanie, you ride to the Craft and Blacksmithing Church to find Jacqueline, you need to be fast, tell Anthony when you go out, and check the reconnaissance eyes in the other three directions of the house to see if there are any omissions. Clue, Lilo, try to get his soul back, Julia, follow me through the other rooms in the house."

Donald has no acquaintance here, let alone the interpersonal relationship of this craftsman. Even if he finds some people from the reconnaissance eye, he will not be able to distinguish who is who and where these people are now, so he needs someone to do this. Work.

Handing over the disposal of the corpse to Lilo, Donald took Julia out of the bedroom, and the first thing he went to was the workbench on the first floor, which he had seen the last time he came.

Different from the emptiness when he first came, this time, Donald saw quite a few devices on the table, including glasses worn by craftsmen before and a whole box of various styles of carving knives. Also found in the drawer of the table were a few sketches drawn in pencil showing the appearance of a ring and the various steps listed.

Including gem engraving, ring body remodeling, formation pattern connection, etc., and after these steps, without exception, all ticked, so it seems that the craftsman has indeed helped him improve the space ring recently, and it has been successful!

The space ring that had already been built was actually snatched away by the murderer who suddenly appeared, which undoubtedly made Donald even more angry.

"Donald, this drawer is locked."

Julia squatted beside the workbench, her fingers hooked on the copper ring outside the bottom drawer and pulled out, but the drawer remained motionless.

Still the old way~lightnovelpub.net~ The mental force impact forcibly destroyed the drawer, but after opening it, there were only a few books stacked on top of each other.

"The Beauty of Craft", "The Art of Sculpture", "The Ugly of Industrialization"...

The three books were of different thicknesses. Donald held the three books in his hands and looked at the names. He didn't see anything from them, but since they were specially locked by craftsmen, they were not ordinary things.

Opening them one by one, Donald soon found the clue, and sandwiched a number of folded papers among the pages of these three books.

Just take out a piece of paper and open it, there is a strange black mark on it, at first glance it looks like a skewed five-pointed star, the so-called skewed does not mean that its direction is reversed, but the line that draws the five-pointed star itself is Skewed, for example, its top corner is skewed to the right, and there is a small red mark in the center of the five-pointed star, surrounded by a ring, which makes the whole composition look a bit like It's a pricked eye...

Soo Soo~ Soo Soo~ Soo Soo~

The moment Donald's attention was focused on that eye, a strange whisper suddenly sounded in his ear.
