Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 936: Even the Pope can’t solve it.

A weak response came from the Magic Soul Pot in the corner, "Is there something wrong?"

The man glanced out the window again and said, "It looks like nothing has changed. It seems that all the people who attended the party have left and are leaving in a hurry."

The Demon Soul Pot was silent for a moment, then continued, "He will definitely conduct a thorough search. It is not convenient for me to go out. Find a way to take me out of the city tomorrow."

"Yes, my queen!" the man answered through gritted teeth.

Frame a hero.

This was something he had never dreamed of, but it had already happened and nothing could be changed.

We can only proceed according to the arrangements made by the queen of the ancient kingdom.

The Magic Soul Pot fell into silence. The man closed the doors and windows and lay on the bed in the room with a tense look on his face.

With eyes open, he listened carefully to the noise outside.

……

In the carriage leaving the City Lord's Mansion.

A light stone hung from the top, swaying gently with the carriage.

Elder Tapani, old wizard Gianvito, and priest Nasir returned in the same carriage.

They have to go to the association first to carry out an autopsy on the body.

The original intention of the banquet was for Wu Heng to come back and visit his comrades who had fought with him after becoming a hero.

Tapani and others naturally want to have a good relationship with a hero.

Especially the way he was able to quickly become a hero and solve the problem of fame.

I just didn't expect this to happen.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and Tapani said, "Nasir, what do you think?"

Nasir raised his head, and under the light of the Illuminating Stone, he could see the anger in his eyes. "It doesn't matter what I think. I will report this matter to the Holy Temple truthfully. It will depend on how the Holy Temple handles it."

None of the three people in the car thought that Wu Heng would do such a thing after becoming the leader.

To a certain extent, the higher the level of the professional, the stronger the self-discipline and self-control.

Just like what he said at the scene, if they really wanted to kill someone, they couldn’t even see the body.

Moreover, after becoming a hero, would he still be short of women? Why would he rape a priestess at a banquet he hosted?

The possibility is very small.

But the situation at the scene was there: the priestess's clothes were in disarray, and the corpse could not be interrogated or resurrected.

Evidence at the scene, occupation of the murderer.

It is also a fact that they all point to Wu Heng who was present.

The old wizard Gianvito stroked his beard as usual, sighed and said, "You also know the relationship between Wu Heng and the Holy See. Before this matter is concluded, it may make the situation even worse..."

"That's the association's business." Nasir interrupted the other party and continued, "The newly appointed priest died here. I can't delay it any longer."

Tapani and Gianvito looked at each other and sighed softly.

With so many people on the scene, all of them representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, the news will spread quickly to all places.

You can't hide it if you want to.

Delaying the reporting process will only make things more difficult.

Gianvito continued, "What I mean is that you should make a report after the autopsy of the body is confirmed."

"Is there any point in doing an autopsy? The corpse is possessed by ghosts and cannot be resurrected. Who can say that necromancy has no effect in accelerating the decay of the corpse? You can do an autopsy if you want, but my first report must be sent out tonight." Nasir said in a firm tone.

Tapani nodded and said, "Write two reports, one to the temple and one to the headquarters."

"Okay, don't worry, I will report today's incident truthfully." Nasir continued.

As the two chatted, the carriage stopped in front of the association.

The local association has also been powered up and is brightly lit inside.

As he entered the hall, two waiting coroners came towards him and saluted, "Elder, Dean."

Tapani said, "There is a body here. Please perform an autopsy as soon as possible. I want to see the report before midnight."

Priest Nasir took out the body, and when the carpet opened, revealing the dishevelled body of the priest inside, the eyes of the two coroners widened instantly.

He looked at the corpse in disbelief, then looked at the elder standing beside him.

"Take it to the morgue and have it examined as soon as possible," Tapani said.

"Yes!" The two of them reacted and took action immediately.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

After the guests left, some servants also went downstairs to rest.

In the study room on the second floor, only Wu Heng, Shannara, the fifth princess and her little maid who accompanied her every day were left.

Wu Heng recounted what had happened in more detail.

Including the time when he hung up the phone, the other party came to join his sect, and after being rejected and failing to seduce, he died directly in the study.

Even if you have listened to it briefly before, it is still surprising to listen to it again.

Shannella said: "The other party said that they will keep watching you until you are ruined and killed by other heroes. Then the other party's purpose is very clear. They intend to use the death of the priest to intensify the conflict between you and the Church."

"I've thought of this too. The other party is definitely not a hero. He knows he can't kill me, so he specially arranged this plan." Wu Heng said.

Shannara had already thought of this idea when the other person died in front of her.

This is the only reason why the other party would spend so much effort to arrange this plan.

"So, the other party's goal has been achieved." Shannara said in a serious voice.

Wu Heng nodded and continued, "I want to catch the murderer in the next few days to prove my innocence, otherwise this matter will be pinned on me."

Shannella took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "If it's a ghost, you can target the necromancer, but you also have to consider items or rare objects."

The possibility of props is somewhat low, but rare objects are indeed possible.

If it is a rare object, either its effect is to kill people, or it has side effects such as delaying death.

"That's possible." Wu Heng looked at the fifth princess and said, "Brittany, do you have any spies in the city?"

The fifth princess and the little maid were also analyzing the situation according to the two people's thoughts.

It feels even more exciting than a great detective story, slandering the hero and setting Treasure Island and the Church at war.

What a shocking conspiracy! The person behind the scenes is so bold!

"Brittany!" Shannella also shouted.

"Ah!" The fifth princess reacted.

Wu Heng asked again: "Do you have any spies in the city?"

"We recruited two groups of spies, one to collect information from the black market, and the other to collect information from shops and merchants in the city." The fifth princess replied.

Wu Heng said: "Let these people collect some information to see if there are any props in this area, or if there are any necromancers in the city."

"Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow." The Fifth Princess agreed immediately.

Shannella continued, "One more thing. The news was notified this morning. The other party killed a priest in such a short time. They should be familiar with the Holy See or the local association. We can investigate this aspect."

"Well, I'll go to the association tomorrow." Wu Heng nodded.

The three of them sat together to discuss it.

After confirming that there were no problems, they all returned to their rooms to rest.

……

Return to your bedroom.

Xiao Xiao floated aside in the form of a ghost and said, "Don't worry, uncle. We will definitely catch the bad guys."

Wu Heng smiled and said, "We've seen all kinds of situations." "That's right." Xiao Xiao also agreed with this statement.

Before they became heroes, they were able to solve all kinds of cases. What's more, now that Wu Heng has become a hero, the three of them are all heroic spirits.

The man and the ghost chatted in the room for a while, and then Glenda flew down from the ceiling and said, "We didn't find the ghost. Either our guess is wrong, and the ghost's killing is just a way to frame you, or the other party has simply hidden himself."

"I feel the second possibility is more likely. You are a hero, so the other party must be more careful."

Wu Heng said: "The more cautious he is, the harder it will be for us to catch him."

Glenda floated to the other side and said, "Be careful, I would think of this way to frame you."

"That's right!" Wu Heng nodded.

Before becoming a hero, you need a ghost to follow you. After becoming a hero, your three ghosts will reach level 20 and will not be as cautious as before.

Deep down, he believed that ordinary professionals lacked the ability and courage and posed a threat to him.

Obviously, I have underestimated the courage of professionals in this world.

How dare you come and mess with me.

At this time, Benny also flew back. "The body has been sent to the association. The coroner is conducting an autopsy. The priest has already written a report. He may be afraid that you will kill to silence the witness, so he arranged for a knight of the Holy See to leave the city overnight and deliver the letter through a nearby fishing village."

"Tapani and Gianvito analyzed the matter separately and found nothing, but they also didn't believe it was you who did it."

Wu Heng nodded, "In Nasir's heart, he must have determined that I am the murderer."

Glenda said, "I'll chase him? Kill the messenger first, and I can delay him for a while."

"There's no need. This matter cannot be concealed." Wu Heng said.

"So what are your plans?" Glenda continued to ask.

"Since the corpse has been controlled by necromancy, it means that the caster must have come into contact with her." Wu Heng's eyes were slightly cold, "And the range of people who can come into contact with the priests of the Holy See is actually very small."

Grenda raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that you mention it, could it be that the Vatican arranged this on purpose, just to have a reason to start a war?"

"It's unlikely. The Vatican is still devout in its faith, and there's no need to do this." Wu Heng said, "Tomorrow, go to the association to investigate and see if there are any clues."

"Let's see what happens tomorrow. If there are still no clues, call Minnie and tell Treasure Island to be careful," Granda continued.

"it is good."

The three souls discussed for a while, and as it was getting dark, Wu Heng lay down on the bed and prepared to rest.

The possibility that Granda was setting up this trap by the Holy See itself is not very high.

The size of the Vatican does not require them to sacrifice their own people to find excuses, and the people in the Vatican have a kind of paranoia about faith.

This approach should not be taken.

Ding dong~!

A message came on the phone, it was from Shannara.

"have you slept?"

Wu Heng replied, "Not yet."

"Come here, let's discuss this together?"

"good!"

After sending it out.

Wu Heng spoke to the three ghosts, then used [Teleportation] to go to Shannara's room.

……

The next day, local association.

Wu Heng read the autopsy report and found that the information recorded on it was exactly the same as his on-site analysis.

The autopsy is not performed in the hope of discovering any new clues, but for record keeping.

It will then be reported to the association's headquarters in the form of evidence.

Once this record is confirmed, it will be used as evidence and any other external statements will be invalid.

Tapani said: "This is what the autopsy showed, but it still cannot directly prove that the body was dead before going to the banquet. After all, necromancy can change the state of the body."

"I understand. I'm also trying to find out who's behind this." Wu Heng nodded and continued, "I want to see the Death Priest's recent mission records."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare it," said Tapani.

Soon, various records were sent up.

Wu Heng flipped through them one by one, and the three invisible ghosts hanging in the air also flipped through the task records with him.

It can be seen that the city of Netale is still relatively peaceful, with nothing too special.

The most recent time was when he went to the black market in the city to investigate a case of stowaways.

But that was three days ago.

Not finding any major clues, Wu Heng took photos of several pages that he suspected might be problematic with his mobile phone.

Then he returned the file to Tapani and said, "I'm going to go to the priestess's residence."

"She lives in the church dormitory. Let Gianvito go with you to avoid any danger." Tapani opened the door and said to the outside.

The staff called the old wizard over.

After whispering this, he headed straight for the church.

……

At the church door.

When the two arrived, the knights of the religion and some priests gathered at the door one after another.

The leading priest said, "Abbot Gianvito, the church is closed to the public today. Please forgive me."

No one even looked at Wu Heng, and the others looked at him with resentment.

It seems that the death of the priestess has been made public in the local church.

Wu Heng already had conflicts with the Vatican. After entering the city, he built a new church and killed the priests.

Clearly an enemy of the church.

Gianvito said, "This is the leader of the association, Wu Heng. This time he came here to check out Adrienne's residence in order to find the real murderer."

The local bishop glanced over here and asked in a cold voice, "Wu Heng, how did Adrienne offend you that you actually wanted to humiliate and kill her in this way? Now that she's dead, what are you still doing here?"

The rest of the people looked even angrier.

"The Holy See does not welcome..."

The other party wanted to speak, but Wu Heng waved his hand and the local bishop's mouth disappeared immediately.

"You'd better think about the consequences of slandering the leader." Wu Heng said coldly.

The other members of the Vatican drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

"That's enough. Calm down." Nasir came out from the back and stood between the two sides. "Captain Wu Heng, what are you doing here?"

"You come to investigate the residence of the dead priest. Do you also want to catch the real murderer?" Wu Heng looked at him coldly.

My patience is almost exhausted.

"Okay, I'll take you there. Can you please spare him this time, bishop?" Nasir said.

Wu Heng glanced at the other person and said, "Go to the association and kneel for three days."

Kneel for three days!
The local bishop's eyes narrowed and he became even angrier.

"Isn't this inappropriate? He is just anxious." Nasir pleaded.

Wu Heng said: "One less day, and you will never have the same mouth again. You sit in the position of bishop, but you still speak so brainlessly. By the way, your pope can't remove the curse of a hero of the same level."

Even the Pope can’t solve it!

At this moment, the bishop's eyes turned into fear.
