"Let's not talk about the cult first." Lawrence put down the slide in his hand and said. "Are you sure where my two cousins ​​were taken since they were kidnapped?"

"It should be taken directly to the village where the cult is inhabited. After all, that village is relatively close to the royal hunting ground, plus the place where the two victims were found on the cult altar in that village. So we infer that group of people. After kidnapping the two victims, they should be brought directly to this place and killed."

"But now I have found some evidence that is not the same as your inference." Lawrence stood up and lifted the part of the white linen sheet that was covering his cousin's body, and then exposed the body's hands and feet. Obviously, the wrists and ankles of the two corpses had obvious purple-black strangles and scratches.

"Obviously, these marks are caused by struggle." Lawrence said. "This also shows that my two cousins ​​were conscious for a long time after being kidnapped. At the same time, they are also trying to break free from the kidnapping state."

"This is normal. Struggling desperately after being kidnapped is human nature." The coroner went on to introduce, "When offering sacrifices to purgatory creatures like this, the sacrifices are generally not in a coma. Because of those The demons love the fear and anger of those sacrifices before they die."

"I am not surprised that they were killed while awake, because I still have a certain understanding of this cult sacrificial ritual." Lawrence said using tweezers to cut out a piece from the sole of the shoe that looked only 1cm in size. Most of the golden threads of left and right lengths are stained with soil. "I mean their struggle has allowed them to bring some things from the environment they are exposed to on their clothes. These things can provide us with valuable clues that we haven't discovered before."

"Are you saying that you found a clue that we hadn't found for a long time in half an hour?" The coroner showed a little bit of dissatisfaction on his face, but he quickly turned his attention to On the tweezers in Lawrence's hand. "What is the one you are holding now, some kind of wire?"

"No, it looks more like some kind of silk from Aurora." Lawrence said as he took out a brass-rimmed magnifying glass and fixed it on his left eye, and then used a cotton swab and alcohol to wash away this section. The soil on the silk thread soon, a golden silk thread appeared in Lawrence's sight.

"God, this is twisted gold thread, why does it appear here?" Lawrence exclaimed in a low voice after checking it with tweezers and probes. Because Lawrence's last proper noun was in Sinian, the coroner next to it repeated the word with his tongue after hearing it, and then asked: "Twisted gold thread, what is that?"

"That's a top-quality silk from Aurora." Lawrence said, staring at the silk thread on the table. Through the magnifying glass on his eyes, he could clearly see that the golden thread was not a whole silk thread at all. Rather, it is divided into two layers, like a wire, inside and outside. The inside is a core composed of fine filaments, and the outside is cut into filaments with gold foil and then wound on the core in an S shape.

If he hadn't traveled once to the Xinzhou Republic, which was transformed into a Sinian colony, he would not recognize this kind of thing. When he was shopping, he had seen gorgeous clothes made with this kind of silk thread in a luxury store, and he even wanted to buy one for Syfiel. But after seeing a handkerchief costing more than 30 yuan, Syfiel resolutely declined Lawrence's kindness.

"Top textiles?" The coroner thought for a while and said, "Could this be something you got in your house? After all, your house is the earl's house, maybe—"

"First to make a statement, my family is not in the earl's mansion in the small town of the White Eagle Federation." Lawrence shrugged, "and our family mansion does not have a dressing room in either the Sauer home or the residence in the capital. The habit of laying carpets outside, let alone such top quality goods."

Seeing the other person still a little confused, Lawrence explained further. "My two cousins ​​who were killed are all wearing hunting outfits. These outfits will be placed in a dressing room separately and will not be taken into other rooms. The hunting outfits will be taken after every use. The servants clean up, at least such a long golden thread cannot be left on the shoes."

"In other words, these golden threads were indeed glued to the soles of the shoes before the two deceased were killed this time." The coroner also reacted instantly. "Because according to our investigation, they went straight to the hunting ground after they left the house and didn't stay anywhere in the middle."

"You’re right, so I think they’re definitely not just kidnapped to that small village right after they were kidnapped. At least based on the guesses you provided, it’s impossible to explain why this part of some top luxury fabric was Appeared on the soles of the deceased’s shoes."

"Please wait a minute." Hearing Lawrence said this, the coroner immediately interrupted him, "It is very important that you have found this clue now. I need to notify the person in charge of this case."

After speaking, the coroner quickly ran out the door, and Lawrence took advantage of the opportunity to release the identification technique on the golden thread on his opponent. Sure enough, the results of the identification told him that this silk thread was indeed a twisted gold thread imported from Aurora, and it should have come from a carpet.

Just ten minutes after Lawrence finished casting the spell, the door of the examination room was opened. Several serious-faced royal police officers and two God of War priests walked in with the judge who had sent Lawrence over. Then he asked Lawrence about his previous findings.

Lawrence explained his discovery truthfully, and pretended that he had seen something like this before going to the Republic of Xinzhou as an excuse to tell that the golden thread should come from a carpet imported from Aurora.

After listening to Lawrence's words, these investigators were like treasures, and soon an old man with a white beard took out a pendulum. He gently hung the twisted gold thread that Lawrence had found earlier on the pendulum, and then began to mutter words. As a white warlock, Lawrence could feel the man on the other side casting some kind of prophetic spell.

However, when the spell was cast for most of the time, the old man's casting was suddenly interrupted, and his face suddenly turned pale and looked a bit ugly. And that small piece of silk thread suddenly ignited without fire.

It seemed that the cast had failed, but everyone present didn't show much frustration on their faces. Then they let Lawrence continue to look for more clues of this kind, and they simply discussed the case here. Listening to their discussion, Lawrence learned that this case has become one of the most important cases in the capital and even the entire empire.

After all, this is the empire, and the successive mysterious deaths of two nobles have become a serious provocation against the cornerstone of the empire. Therefore, the eagerness of the nobles who controlled the power of the empire to find out the news behind the incident became a very important matter.

After further investigation, Lawrence found a small piece of vermilion dyed leather in the nail of one of his cousins. After taking this piece of dyed leather and sending it out for inspection for half an hour, they learned from the paint on it that this piece of leather should be used on some kind of high-end vehicle seats.

"Thank you, thanks to your help. The scope of the investigation we need to investigate this time has been greatly reduced." After Lawrence had inspected all the exhibits and bodies and found no more clues, the investigation team ended this inspection. The leader of Laurence thanked Lawrence. "Don't worry, we will find the murderer of your uncle soon."

"I believe in you." Lawrence nodded in response, and then took the carriage back to the city with the judge who had accompanied him here before. It was just different from the smooth journey just now, this time their carriage was blocked at the gate of the city.

After waiting a few minutes, the carriage was finally able to move forward slowly. When passing through the city gate, Lawrence saw through the window of the car that many people in gold and black uniforms were ganged up with the people who had guarded the city gate, and more policemen in dark blue clothes and soldiers in gray blue clothes were Keep coming to drive people in gold and black uniforms out of the road so that traffic can be restored to the city gate ~lightnovelpub.net~ What happened? "Lawrence asked with some anxiety watching this group of hundreds of people, it seemed to him to be in a ball at the gate of the capital, which was really incredible.

"It's not because of the recent military reforms." The judge sitting across from Lawrence knew the matter very well because it was a local. "The emperor hopes to be able to mobilize the newly formed several internal guards completely loyal to the royal family to take charge of the defense of the capital, and then replace this group of guards in the capital to the front. But it is obvious that the group has been keeping the guards The nobles in the military as a good place for promotion and making money are certainly not willing to do so."

"So since the news came from the cabinet half a year ago, this group of Janissaries have been rioting almost every week. Those of us in Wendo Bona are getting bored. And when we fight, they will always take advantage of the chaos. What is it? I really hope the emperor can quickly resolve all these things."

Lawrence just shrugged his shoulders when he heard the inquisitor's rants, anyway, he just stayed here for a short period of time. As long as nothing happens here before he leaves.

He is not a native to him anyway. There is no interest relationship in the local area, and it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong. So he only needs to care about the part related to him.
