These people are a little stupid, but not that stupid. They would never do such a thing, as it would implicate themselves.

So which bastard wanted to harm him today? !

……

"What's wrong with you? How can a stab wound in the back be suicide?"

"But this is the fact, my Lord, the room where the deceased was was without windows, the door was locked, and there were no signs of a fight or a second person in the room. This case can only be ruled as suicide, otherwise how did the murderer leave the room? Only a magician can do this!"

"Yes, it's the magician. Hurry up and call the rest of you to capture all the magicians who are still in Fontaine and interrogate them!"

Linny: “…”

Linny, who was eavesdropping on the intelligence secretly, almost couldn't hold it. He was performing magic tricks, not magic. How could such a thing involve a magician? Linny strongly suspected that the [Law Enforcement Court] was preparing to find someone to take the blame.

"Brother, you said you went to the bathroom and left for a while. Could it be that time..."

"Don't joke like that, Linnet."

Linnie smiled helplessly at Linnet's fake questioning look.

"Let's take a quick look at the details of the case while they're away."

After hearing what Linnet said, Linnet nodded.

"Looks like it's time to work again, start working mode."

As Linnet spoke, she used the elemental power of wind to make her figure gradually disappear in front of Linni.

Soon, Linnet appeared in front of Linny again.

"I already know the details of the case."

"As expected of Linnet!"

Linnie smiled and praised his sister, then pulled the brim of his hat.

"Then let's go to the scene and investigate. This might be a good opportunity to catch those scumbags."

After hearing what Linnie said, Linnet's expression became noticeably more serious, as she recalled the nightmare that almost happened before.

Soon the two arrived at the crime scene. Although it had been blocked by the security team, it was not a problem for them.

When the two entered the room, they understood why the security team immediately determined that the deceased had committed suicide, because the room was too clean, there was nothing in it, it was truly bare.

There were no windows, the room was like a coffin box.

As long as the door is locked, the secret room is created.

There was nothing there, which only increased Linny's suspicion. Perhaps the murderer had arranged it so that nothing else could be present at the scene.

Perhaps they moved all the things away in order to find the evidence brought by the man, or to eliminate some clues that could not be hidden.

It is not impossible that there are even people from the noble side in the guard team.

Linny never believed that the deceased had really committed suicide, so he could only look for other clues in the room with Linnet, and check whether there was a secret room or hidden door in the room...

Just as the nobles were trying desperately to eliminate the impact of this incident, the magicians were wearing silver bracelets in confusion, and the people were surrounding the guards in anger, a woman suddenly appeared and said she was the wife of the deceased.

She first cried bitterly for the deceased, then denounced the incompetence of the security team, and then announced that she would accuse the viscount on behalf of the deceased. The evidence was not in the hands of the other party, but was with her.

The appearance of this woman once again caused a storm in Fontaine Court, and the nobles were completely stunned.

Although the death of that man caused a lot of trouble for the nobles, there was no direct evidence to prove that they did it, so as long as they endured it, everything would be fine after the storm died down.

But now the wife of the deceased has come out and said that the evidence is in her possession and that she will continue to accuse him. Doesn't this mean that the blame is borne in vain? !

And now Marquis Ralph was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should send out the [Shadow Hunters] to get rid of that woman as well. He was really worried that if that woman died, the people would completely explode.

If the man had not been identified as having committed suicide by the security team before, then his method of blaming the other person's death on the serial suicide murderer would still be useful, but will the public really believe this conclusion now?

But in the end, Marquis Ralph sent out the newly returned Shadow Hunter again. He couldn't just watch the viscount being successfully accused, otherwise it would be difficult for him to guarantee that the other party would not give him up.

No one doubted the authenticity of the evidence. After all, the dead man had sworn on his life. This was one of the reasons why Villette treated it so seriously.

In fact, at that time, Villette had asked the man whether he needed protection, but was rejected by the other party. Considering that it was normal for the other party not to trust the Fontaine officials, Villette did not force it.

However, not long after the Shadow Hunters set out, news of the woman's death came.

The doors and windows were locked, with no other entrances or exits. The woman's hands and feet were tied up, her mouth was blocked with something, and she died by hanging with a rope around her neck. After the security team inspected the scene, it was initially determined that it was suicide.

When people heard the result, they were outraged again.

Chapter 45 Please believe that this is reasonable

"The doors and windows in the room were completely locked, and there was nothing in the house except a stool lying on the ground."

"Although the deceased's hands and feet were bound, there were no signs of conflict or struggle on his body, and no drugs were found in his body. No matter how you look at it, the deceased kicked the stool and then hanged himself!"

"In summary, the deceased should have committed suicide."

When the people heard this inference, they became angry.

"Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say such things?"

"Why would a person who wants to commit suicide tie up his hands and feet before hanging himself?"

"And how did the deceased bind her own hands and feet?"

"Do you take all of us for fools?!"

"Forehead……"

The security officer who was trying to calm the public had a wry smile on his face. He didn't understand this kind of thing either. However, whether it was the secret room formed at the scene or the lack of any signs of struggle on the deceased's body, he could only conclude that the deceased was tied up completely voluntarily and committed suicide by hanging himself voluntarily.

If the two victims were not married, the security team would have suspected that the two cases were related to the serial suicide murderer.

After all, today's security team was reborn from the ashes by breaking common sense through "Aba Aba"!

No matter how outrageous the suicide behavior is, they can now accept it calmly.

However, after investigation by the security team, it was found that the two deceased were not only married, but also had a child around ten years old, which was completely different from the victims of the serial jumping case, so they were not prepared to consider the connection between the two cases for the time being.

The most important thing now is to calm the people. Although they can calmly accept even the most outrageous suicide, it is obvious that these people cannot accept it.

"Please believe in the professionalism of the security team. Although this conclusion is a bit contrary to common sense, please believe that it is very reasonable. The other party did commit suicide."

"fart!"

"Given the height of that woman, her neck couldn't reach the rope when she stood on the stool. Do you mean that the woman actually jumped from the stool to the rope and hanged herself?!"

"Please trust the security team. Judging from the autopsy report of the body, this is indeed the case."

"I believe you ghosts!"

"You guys are too lazy to even act, right?"

After hearing the explanations from the security team, the people's emotions became increasingly difficult to appease.

Although the security team was able to produce relevant evidence, the public's trust in the security team has dropped to freezing point, and they feel like they have been completely fooled.

Suicide? Isn't that treating them like fools?!

As for evidence, they could just forge it. After all, the guards had always served the nobles, so how could they possibly produce evidence that was unfavorable to the nobles?

Many people even thought in their hearts that the massacre of the residents of Huihe River a few days ago could have happened. It turned out that there were few innocent people in the security team and they were all a bunch of parasites!

However, at this moment, someone in the crowd around shouted that a new death had appeared, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

After a brief moment of confusion, the security team on the scene immediately sent some people to the crime scene, and then came to a locked door, where they saw blood flowing from under the door.

This place was not far from where the woman died, which gave the security guards a very bad feeling.

When the security team members worked together to break the door open, they saw the same locked doors and windows and the same empty walls. The bad premonition in their hearts reached its peak.

Then they saw a child lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds in the back, bleeding profusely, and a gun in his hand. The security team members were all stunned.

No, come again? !

Although they have not yet conducted a detailed investigation, they already have a hunch that this time it was suicide...

Sure enough, not long after, as everyone forced themselves to suppress their anger and sadness, the result came out.

"The deceased died in a closed room with locked doors and windows. When the deceased was found, there was no one else in the room, and there was no sign of a second person's activities at the scene."

"The fatal wound to the deceased was a gunshot wound on the back. After examination, it was found that the skin showed high temperature burn marks, which was caused by the gun being fired at close range to the skin. The gun in the deceased's hand was the murder weapon."

"Although we have not yet found out how the deceased obtained the firearms, the case can be preliminarily determined to be suicide."

In fact, there are some things that the security team has not announced, that is, the deceased this time is the child of the previous two victims. However, even if this is not known, it is enough to arouse the anger of the people.

After waiting for a long time and hearing this result, many people couldn't help but feel excited.

"Are you still human? He is still a child. How can a ten-year-old child learn to use a gun? What reason is there for suicide? Why do you have to shoot yourself in the back?"

"Everyone please remain calm. This is the result of the security team's investigation."

"Since an 80-year-old lady was able to fly over rooftops and walls a while ago, it is reasonable for a 10-year-old child to be able to shoot a gun!"

"Please stay rational and trust our security team!"

"Reason? What kind of reason do you want me to have? Look at how shameless you are that you can say such shameless words. They must be the running dogs of those nobles. Catch them quickly!"

"Yes, arrest them!"

"By the way, I remember that Mr. Baker has a child besides his wife. Could this child be their child?!"

After hearing this speculation, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the security guards with even colder eyes.

Feeling that something was wrong, the security team members wanted to run away, but they were surrounded on all sides by extremely excited people, and they had no escape route even if they wanted to.

Then the crowd rushed over these guards, tied them up tightly, and carried them to the residence of the accused viscount and surrounded him.

"Get out of here, damn it! Do you think we are all fools? You are fooling us with such nonsense?!"

"Even a viscount can be so arrogant. All of you nobles should be hung on street lamps!"

The Viscount was so frightened that he hid in a secret room in his home and ordered bodyguards and mechanical guards to guard the mansion to protect his safety.

Because of concerns about the combat effectiveness of the mechanical guards, the people simply surrounded the mansion and had no intention of forcing their way in.

The people who followed after hearing the news changed their strategy and surrounded the mansions of other nobles because the people before them had surrounded the Viscount's mansion in three layers and they could not squeeze in.

These nobles are in cahoots with each other, and none of them is innocent!

"Get out here, you murderers, get out here now!"

Hearing the noise outside, Marquis Ralph saw through the window that his mansion was surrounded, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Testimonials

It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and there should be five updates by then.

Thanks to everyone who has been through what happened before and is still reading this. This is the first time I wrote a novel of this type and I made a serious mistake. It was your support and friendly suggestions that allowed me to realize the problem in time and make changes to the plot. Thank you everyone.

Then let's talk about the issue of adding more chapters. Currently, the number of words has exceeded the full attendance number of 18,000, which means that I have just paid off the nine chapters I owed from the last bounty before the book was put on the shelves. So I have no outstanding debts.

Let's calculate the previous bounty. Currently it's $910 for 13926 pushes and 15540 for 204, which means we need to add two more, round it up and add three.

Finally, I’ll offer a bounty for first orders. For every 500 orders, I’ll add one chapter. That’s all.

Chapter 46 Calming Down the Storm

Marquis Ralph was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. This was the second time. He had just sent out the Shadow Hunter and the person died. Now he had to take the blame again.

Who is messing with him?!

A lot of faces flashed through Marquis Ralph's mind, but he really couldn't figure out who had such calculations and abilities.

After a while, Marquis Ralph finally calmed down. He realized that now was not the time to find out who had betrayed him, but how to calm the incident down.

The Viscount can no longer stay. No matter whether this matter is related to him or not, he will definitely not be able to clear himself from the matter now.

If he hesitates any longer and the public's emotions are not appeased in time, he will probably be the one being abandoned.

Although he has considerable power, he is only a marquis after all. If the time really comes when they need to give him up in order to quell public grievances, those guys above them will certainly not hesitate.

So he couldn't be soft-hearted anymore, it was better that the bastard died, he couldn't even clean up his own ass and he put the fire on him, damn it!

Thinking of this, Marquis Ralph called the Shadow Hunter and ordered him to deal with the viscount.
