Father Mavie

Chapter 103 The corpse in the study (add more, please subscribe!!!)

Fat Ju led the way and brought the three of them to a room upstairs.

A large solid wood desk, a cabinet full of books, and leather shields and crossed swords hanging on the wall. No matter how you look at it, this place looks like a study.

And in the chair behind the desk, lay a dead body.

"Sir Antowy"

The skin of the corpse was not festered, and it was not difficult to identify the appearance. Coupled with the bust portrait in the hall, Ma Wei recognized the identity of the other party.

"I found him by chance when I was tracking mice," Fat Orange said.

"Um"

Marvie bent down and picked up a bloody handkerchief next to the body.

The blood stains left on the handkerchief were very strange. They were not stained in large areas, but only small parts of rubbing marks, as if someone had wiped something with it.

"Boss!"

Levin cried out, pointing to the blackened blood on the chest of the corpse and said, "He was stabbed to death!"

Although the corpse had started to rot and turn black, Ma Wei still stepped forward to check it. He used the pen on the table to pick up the clothes on the chest of the corpse, and he saw a triangular wound.

The wound went straight to the depths, and the angle was tricky and precise, cutting open Sir Antova's heart artery.

But being stabbed in the heart doesn't mean that Sir Antova has no chance to fight back. As a nobleman who has been on the battlefield, he has also experienced life and death fights. How could he be killed without any resistance?

If the fatal injury was caused by a firearm, it would be understandable. After all, once the bullet hits the heart, it will not only penetrate through it, but the entrained power will also destroy the nearby organs, making the injured instantly incapacitated.

Knives are different. Although they are sharp, the range of damage caused by the straight stabbing method cannot be compared with that of firearms. Normal people can usually move for a while after being stabbed.

In doubt, Mavi looked at other parts of the corpse, and found that apart from the knife wound on his chest, there were some small marks left on Sir Antova's nails and neck.

There are a few red fingerprints on Sir Antova's neck. Judging from the direction, they should be left by the left hand, and there are some blood-stained skin flakes in the nails
Slowly narrowing his eyes, Ma Wei walked around behind the corpse, seeming to understand something.

"He died after being strangled by someone from behind, with the tip of a knife pierced into his heart. The opponent was an old hand, and his movements were very skilled. Sir Antova couldn't make an effective resistance at all."

As he said that, Ma Wei restored the incident. He asked Levin to cooperate with him, grabbed Levin's neck with his left hand, replaced the sharp knife with a pen, and stopped when he stabbed lightning from behind and approached his chest.

"Sir Antua, who had a broken heart and his neck was strangled, couldn't make any sound, and soon died on the chair."

Ma Wei let go of Levine, took out the handkerchief on his chest, wiped the pen a few times, and threw it away.

"The murderer is a very clean and confident person. In order to prevent the blood from getting on his body, he chose to attack Sir Antova's heart from behind instead of the more fragile neck. Compared with the exposed neck, the heart is protected by the sternum. , If you are not proficient, the knife is likely to get stuck. On the battlefield, there are many examples of death caused by the weapon being stuck in the enemy's body and cannot be pulled out." Ma Wei said: "So, we generally use chopping to kill the enemy. , even if it is necessary to stab, most of them will choose the abdomen with fewer bones and attack the spleen and kidney."

Levin was stunned when he heard that Ma Wei's understanding of the way of killing was far beyond his imagination.

"The other party is a top assassin, and he has done this kind of thing more than once."

Putting down the pen, Ma Wei pondered: "It's strange, why did the murderer kill Sir Antova?"

Sir Antova, who has always been low-key, has a modest personality. In the three years he has lived in New Rose City, he has never heard any rumors about his disputes with others. Not only that, he is very generous to the farmers in the territory and the servants at home. It not only provides free bread ovens for farmers to use, but also often reduces or exempts rents, and its reputation has always been good.

For a nobleman like him, he can definitely be called a 'gentleman', and Jazz is also the honorific name for him.

You don't need a reason to save someone, but you do need a reason to kill someone.

The murderer took great pains to come to Antua Village and kill Sir Antua. If it wasn't because of personal grievances, there is a high probability that he wanted to take something away.
Just as Ma Wei was thinking, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Junia pull open the desk drawer and take out the .
A non-automatic revolver.

Non-automatic revolvers have no safety. Before shooting, either pull down the rear cocked hammer or pull the trigger hard.

If the latter is used to shoot, then when the trigger is pulled, the hammer can still be seen to rotate backwards, which has a delay. In order to strive for the fastest shooting speed, the user generally pulls the hammer in advance.

And the non-automatic revolver that Sir Antoine put in the drawer did not pull the hammer, that is to say.
He has no hostility towards the murderer.

The murderer was probably an acquaintance of Sir Antoinette.

"Like it?"

Ma Wei said to Younia who kept playing with the revolver: "If you like it, I will buy you one later."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Levin quickly stopped: "Boss, as a father, you watch your daughter play with such a dangerous weapon, and it's fine if you don't stop it. Why do you want to fix her up!"

"Don't goddesses need self-defense weapons?" Ma Wei said lightly: "Don't treat children like flowers in a greenhouse, otherwise they will be vulnerable when the wind and rain come."

"This is not fun"

Junia wrinkled her nose, put the revolver back in the drawer, and said with a look of disgust: "It's heavy and big, Junia and a bear are enough!"

Bear?

Glancing at the puppet bear that Junia was carrying, Mavi smiled helplessly. In his opinion, a stone or a wooden stick could be used as a weapon, but the puppet bear filled with hard cotton .
Does it hurt to hit someone?
While the three of them were chatting, Fat Ju squatted on the desk, his long pupils staring at the corpse all the time, and Xiao Hei, who was beside him, was rolling his eyes, trying to lick the elder brother's hair, trying to lick off the blood on his body.

"What are you looking at?" Ma Wei came over and asked.

"Sir Antoy's left forefinger."

"index finger?"

Ma Wei turned around and saw that the corpse was pale and weak, and the left index finger was as soft as a jellyfish, which was obviously thinner than the other fingers.

If you don't observe carefully, you won't find it at all.

"Sir Antova should have worn a ring on his index finger." Fat Orange said, "Only wearing a ring for a long time will leave such a mark."

"But the ring is gone."

"Eighty percent the murderer took it."

Why did the murderer take Sir Antoine's ring?
Reminiscent of the actions of the Rose Phantom Thief stealing gems from various places, the reason behind it seems not difficult to guess.

"It seems that Sir Antova's ring is also some kind of magic item."

Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "This curse may also be caused by the murderer."

"Could it be a member of another church?" Fat Orange asked.

"It's hard to say, if the murderer is not a member of the church." Ma Wei's eyes flickered, "I'm afraid there is a force that we don't know, collecting magic items."
