Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 486: Fraud
The castle bathroom.
Gabriel was facing a half-person tall metal mirror, sorting his clothes.
Seeing that the hair on the temples was a little messy, he reached out and scooped out a little water from the basin set aside, dampened his hair, and combed it neatly.
Looking at the extremely clear figure in the mirror, Gabriel sighed in admiration a few times, stared greedily at the metal mirror, and muttered:
"There are a lot of good things from the Ocean Tide Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately it failed to poison Renault Odin, otherwise I can ask the Prince to give me the manufacturing technology of the ‘Mirror of the Ocean’..."
Thinking of Kinnal who seemed to fly away with wings, he cursed bitterly:
"Damn Yuri, the prince will never let you go!"
If it hadn't been for the fake medicine, Renault would definitely be dead this time, and his title and fief would have already been obtained.
Gabriel looked around for a few moments. After confirming that there was no one around, he quietly pulled out an emerald necklace from his clothes. With a grin, he held the emerald and input a mental energy.
A strange wave radiated from the emerald.
After more than ten breaths, Gabriel faintly heard a cry of panic in the distance.
"...Someone...someone vomited blood..."
"...Call the doctor soon..."
Gabriel tucked the necklace back into his clothes and smiled triumphantly.
Looking at the motionless corpse on the ground, Duke Byron's face was pale. He looked at his son Carrick and asked:
"Who is he?"
"This is Aibit, who is mainly responsible for the stewardship of the family brewery and wine cellar. During the interrogation of the servants and stewards in the castle, someone found that Aibit had committed suicide by poisoning." Carrick said in a low voice.
"By the way, during the investigation after the incident, a maid reported that she had seen Abit take someone into the wine cellar..."
"We believe that Abite is definitely involved in the wine poisoning incident. The poisoning should take place in the wine cellar. Abite is the facilitator. The real poisoner is probably the mysterious person who entered the wine cellar."
"We checked everyone in the castle and no suspects were found. I suspect that the poisoner has already left the castle, even the city of Copernicus."
"In addition, I have a hunch that the person who provides convenience to the murderer is very likely to be more than Ebit. Unfortunately, his death caused all clues to be cut off..."
Then Yuri's sharp voice rang:
"If I'm right, the person who followed Abit into the wine cellar should be Fertson, because he is the one who bought the'Ice Fire Poisonous Dragon Potion'!"
The Duke gave Carrick a fierce look, then turned and bowed deeply at Renault:
"Mianxia, I'm very sorry, it is my responsibility to have such negligence, I swear, I will catch Furtson as soon as possible..."
Renault waved his hand and said faintly:
"This is not your problem. The mastermind behind this matter must be Prince El Fallon. Strictly speaking, you are still implicated by me..."
As soon as he said this, the Duke's face suddenly showed embarrassment.
This sentence directly pierced the Duke's hypocrisy. Of course, the Duke knew that the envoy was the prince, but he didn't dare to attack the prince at all.
However, Renault did not expect the Duke to deal with the prince.
He knows the virtues of these nobles too well. If it is something of interest, this group of guys will eat more ugly than bad dogs. If they get into trouble, they will definitely run faster than rabbits.
Renault chuckled and relieved the other party's embarrassment:
"Duke, please rest assured, I am not an unreasonable person, and I will not ask you beyond my ability."
After a pause, his eyes became cold.
"Prince El Fallon has calculated me many times, and I will make him pay the price..."
The Duke bowed slightly:
"Under the crown, your kindness is amazing."
He coughed again, and Li Mang shot in his eyes, and said to Carrick:
"Dispose of Abite's family, leave none!"
Carrick nodded heavily.
In the eyes of the nobles, Ebit’s behavior is Chi Guoguo’s betrayal, and the nobles’ methods of dealing with betrayers have always been extremely cruel. The so-called “handling” is mostly to torture and then kill, even without excluding torture. Possible.
On the other hand, this is also deliberately taking Abite's family to vent his anger. The Duke was angry in front of Renault, and the evil fire in his heart had nowhere to vent, and those little people would naturally become his punching bag.
Renault looked at the wine bottle placed on the wooden table and asked curiously:
"Ms. Yuri, I have another question. Why is the poison in Starry Night Wine completely ineffective for me?"
Yuri showed a strange look:
"I just carefully checked the remaining liquor in the bottle. I found out that the thing my student Scarlett sold to Fertson might not be the poison, but..."
"...Soothe the nerves!" Scarlett said blankly.
Darcy opened his mouth immediately, and a deep shock was uncontrollable on his small face. He stammered and said:
"But... But Scarlett, you are cheating..."
"Shut up, Darcy, none of the people who buy the poison are good people. I'm fighting evil."
"What's more, this is not an ordinary tranquilizer, but a'powerful' tranquilizer that is specially refined by the teacher. It can calm people's mind and sleep better. I think the guy named'Futson' is even better. I need it to heal my dirty soul full of desire..."
If Fertson was here, he would surely spit out a mouthful of old blood.
In the previous transaction, he paid 3 precious magic potions, the total value of which is more than 5,000 Kinnars. The tranquilizer potions are just the most common potions. The price of a potion is at most 1 Kinnar. Even if it is the so-called powerful type, the price will not exceed 5 Kinnars.
This is a bargain for losing pants.
What's more troublesome is that the magic potion is the Prince's possession. After this happened, it is difficult for him to confess to the Prince.
Blame Ms. Yuri’s previous credibility is so good, so that Fitterson loses the vigilance she deserves.
Faced with Scarlett’s sophistry, Darcy returned only one word as usual:
"Oh."
Scarlett looked around, there were weeds everywhere, and there was no human population. She asked distressedly:
"According to the news we heard from the mercenary union, the place where Renault Odin captured Mussolini's crown was in the city of Copernicus. The steward also said that you just have to walk a few east along the road. Within an hour, you can reach the city of Copernicus."
"But we have been walking for almost half a day, why haven't we even seen the shadow of Copernicus? Have we gone the wrong way again?"
This word "you" has done all the idiotic encounters of these two paths. Since leaving the Witch Forest, the two of them frequently get the wrong direction and often get lost. They set off a day earlier than Yuri, but Yuri has already arrived in Cobai. In Nigeria, the two are still spinning around in the wild.
If it weren't for the strength of the two, they would have long been reduced to the food of the beast.
Darcy just looked at Scarlett dumbly, without speaking, Scarlett was annoyed, and she stretched out his hand and gave the other side a horror.
"Ouch!" Darcy cried out in pain, and he said aggrievedly, "You told me to shut up..."
Scarlett suffocated, but she still habitually argued:
"When I hit you, you know that you still slapped your mouth. Why didn't you answer when I asked you a question?"
Darcy opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, but looking at Scarlett's eyes, he understood that it was not the time to shut up, so he spit out a word.
"Oh."
Outside the city of Copernicus, Gabriel glanced back at the towering city wall, with a mocking smile on his face.
He fumbled for a while in his arms, took out a large piece of white film, and covered it on his face.
Then something magical happened. The film slowly squirmed. After a few breaths, the film seemed to merge with Gabriel's facial skin. When the squirming subsided, he changed his appearance completely.
It was Futson!
That piece of film turned out to be a strange thing that can change the appearance.
