After receiving the order, the [Shadow Hunter] left the mansion directly.
Even though the viscount's mansion was now surrounded by angry citizens, he still easily entered the mansion without attracting any attention.
The mechanical guard did scan his position, but did not attack him. Instead, it simply ignored his presence.
This [Shadow Hunter] came all the way to the Viscount's bedroom and found the location of the secret room in just a little time.
When the Viscount saw the Shadow Hunter appear, he was startled at first, but then he breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing that the other party was Marquis Ralph's man.
"Great! You must be sent by Marquis Ralph to rescue me!"
"No, I am here to inform you that your death is imminent."
After hearing the words of the Shadow Hunter, the Viscount obviously did not react and his expression was stunned, but the next second, a cold metal object was pressed against his temple, and his body could not help but shiver.
"Wait a minute, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
"boom!"
[Shadow Hunter] pulled the trigger without hesitation, then threw the gun casually next to the Viscount. After cleaning up the traces he left behind, his figure disappeared again.
After a while, the butler who heard the gunshot finally found the viscount dead in the secret room, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
"Oh no! The Viscount has been..."
Suddenly, the butler thought of something terrible, his body shuddered again, and then he changed his words temporarily.
"The Viscount committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"
The death of a nobleman shocked the people of Fontaine far more than the deaths of several ordinary people.
When they heard that the Viscount committed suicide out of fear of punishment, they did not doubt the truth of it. Instead, they felt that it was their joint efforts that caused the Viscount to commit suicide because he could not bear the psychological pressure.
Now that their emotions have an outlet, most people will naturally no longer try to provoke the people in power in Fontaine. However, if things end like this, they will not be satisfied.
"Thoroughly investigate the security team!"
As this slogan rang out, the security team was under unprecedented pressure. Eventually, all members were suspended for investigation, and their work was temporarily taken over by the Law Enforcement Court.
When the Enforcement Court took over the work of the security team, people were most concerned about the three cases that were previously defined as suicides.
After the [Law Enforcement Court] sent people to conduct another detailed investigation into the case, they were extremely surprised to find that all three people seemed to have committed suicide.
Although this result was outrageous, they analyzed various clues and finally got the same answer as the security team.
In order to rule out the possibility that the owner of the Eye of God had committed a crime, the [Law Enforcement Court] even brought in an instrument specifically for detecting elemental power, but no elemental residue was found, which means that no one at the scene had used elemental power.
But it is obvious that the people in the Law Enforcement Court had not experienced the serial jumping cases, so whether it was themselves or the pressure from above, they were ultimately unable to define the three cases as suicides.
Therefore, the people from the [Court of Law] began to interrogate the captured magicians.
After some interrogation, nothing unusual was found.
"Have all the magicians currently in Fontaine been captured?"
"No, it seems there is still a magician named Linny who has not been found."
"By the way, after investigation, this magician seems to be a member of the Fatui. Should we still arrest him?"
"Fools?"
It makes sense, everything makes sense!
"Catch him! This incident has offended almost all the big shots above us. Even with that person's status, he can't be saved!"
After sending a team to search the entire city for Linny, the two voices began to talk again.
"Could Linnie really be the murderer?"
"It doesn't matter whether it is or not. It is enough to let the people see that we [Law Enforcement Court] are not idle..."
When Linnie heard that he and Linnette had become suspects in the three recent cases and that the [Enforcement Court] was searching the entire city for him, he felt a little confused.
However, Linnie soon realized that the speed at which the news spread was a bit unusual. Generally speaking, in order to arrest a suspect, it is necessary to ensure that the news does not leak out to prevent the suspect from escaping early, which increases the difficulty of solving the case.
Linnie soon understood the intention of the [Law Enforcement Court] and his face turned a little cold.
Compared to the security team, the [Law Enforcement Court] is rotten to the core, and even resorted to such petty tricks.
Linni dared to guarantee that whether the [Law Enforcement Court] could catch the two suspects and convict them would ultimately depend on the results of the negotiations above.
As for whether they would be betrayed by their father, this was something Linnie would never consider. They were family, and their relationship was not one that could be divided arbitrarily based on some interests.
"Don't worry Linnet, [Father] will help us with this."
After hearing Linnet's words, Linnet nodded and then turned her attention back to the crime scene.
The place where they are now is the scene of the third case, but just like the previous two places, no matter how they investigate, they find no other clues.
But the deceased's final behavior was too strange, just like the victims of a serial suicide case.
But unlike before, the victim this time had a relative. If the murderer hadn't changed his target...
Wait a minute, although the deceased this time had a family relationship, they had no other relatives or friends. If we consider the three of them as a whole...
Linnie clenched his fists tightly, he felt as if he had grasped the key!
Chapter 47: Open the door and deliver food
When public grievances gradually subsided, journalists who wanted to become famous appeared.
“I believe everyone has paid some attention to what has happened recently.”
"The three cases that were previously defined as suicides by the security team have now been taken over by the [Enforcement Court]."
"Recently, the [Court of Law] has identified the famous magician Linny as a suspect in these three cases."
"But is Linny really the murderer? Let's hear what the experts have to say."
"Hello, expert. Do you think Linnie is the real murderer of these three cases?"
"It may be, it may not be."
"It seems that the experts do have their own unique opinions. Expert, do you think the family that died recently committed suicide?"
"That's right."
……
In order to avoid being vented by the angry nobles, people with a little status avoided talking about what had happened before. The reporters who dared to commit suicide soon received letters of resignation from the newspaper.
But these are all minor episodes.
At this time in the Debo Hotel, Marquis Ralph and his friends gathered together again, but the difference this time was that although everyone was present, no one dared to speak.
The reason was not just because of Marquis Ralph’s ugly face, the most important thing was that the previous viscount committed suicide.
Everyone present knew exactly how the Viscount died, and they looked at Marquis Ralph with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Although everyone understood the reasons why Marquis Ralph did this, and they were even somewhat fortunate that Marquis Ralph could make the decision so quickly, it did not mean that they could continue to treat Marquis Ralph with the same mentality as before.
After a long while, Marquis Ralph cleared his throat and tried to ease the somewhat depressing atmosphere.
"I don't want to explain anything about what happened before."
"If you don't clean up your mess and leave a flaw, and get caught by someone with ulterior motives, you can't blame anyone else even if you die."
"The same goes for you. If something similar happens again, he will serve as a warning to you!"
After hearing what Marquis Ralph said, everyone agreed with him. At the same time, they were also wondering who knew about what they had done, and they were ready to deal with all those who were not directly related to them just in case.
Seeing that his reminder was effective, Marquis Ralph's expression finally eased a little.
"What happened before is in the past. Now let's talk about how to deal with the problem of Gray River."
"Those bugs actually dared to resist. Looks like we must teach them a bloody lesson."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions became relaxed. It seemed that Marquis Ralph was ready to take real action against the Grey River forces and wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered before on the Grey River resistance.
However, there are many problems facing everyone now. The most important one is that the entrance to the Gray River is narrow and single, and they cannot transport large weapons into the Gray River.
Furthermore, the Grey River is located below Fontaine. If there is too much noise, something similar to the public collectively complaining to the Law Enforcement Court will happen.
Although everyone present has considerable power, and the [Law Enforcement Court] is a handy tool for them, they do not have the final say in Fontaine. If they cause too bad an impact, all of them will be liquidated in the end.
I believe that recent events have made the higher-ups somewhat unhappy, and they will have to be more careful next time.
In fact, the best way should be to divide the forces in the Gray River and then defeat them one by one. However, these nobles are arrogant and do not want to compromise with the insects that have been living in the Gray River.
Just when everyone was thinking about how to deal with the mob in Gray River, there was a knock on the door.
"Open the door, takeaway delivery!"
A young-sounding voice came from outside the door, and everyone present looked at each other in confusion.
Who ordered the takeaway?
At this moment, Marquis Ralph's face changed drastically. He certainly didn't believe that anyone was stupid enough to order takeout. Even if there was someone, the bodyguards he brought would stop that person.
But now the other party has come to the door. Where are the bodyguards he ordered to guard outside?
In addition, other nobles also brought a lot of people with them. The Debo Hotel has been booked out and it is full of their people, but the question is, where are these people? Why are there no movements at all?
Could it be that……
Thinking of this, Ralph felt a chill in his heart.
At this moment, a blue water blade suddenly came out of the door, easily destroying the door lock, and then the door was pushed open directly.
"Sorry, the order is about to exceed the time limit, so I came in by myself. I believe you won't have any objections!"
A figure wearing a clown mask entered the room, playing with the water blade that had been used to break the door lock. A water element god's eye hung on his waist. His face was covered by the mask, so other people couldn't see his appearance. But from his voice, he looked too young.
As soon as the other party came in, he put down what he was holding in his arms, and a black energy shield immediately covered the entire room.
"who are you?!"
Looking at the uninvited guest in front of them, the nobles all moved to the corners of the room. All kinds of fear and questioning made the scene chaotic. Even Marquis Ralph could not remain calm at this time and put one hand into his arms.
The young man who broke into the room didn't seem to care about the chaos in front of him.
"How could you forget to bring your noise cancelling tools to a meeting? Luckily I brought them in time, otherwise everyone's conversation would have been overheard by others!"
"By the way, everyone please be careful. This product is still in the testing phase, so if it absorbs too much sound, it may cause energy disorder."
"To put it simply, this machine has the potential to blow this place up into the sky with a loud bang."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Ralph felt his hand tremble in his arms, and the other nobles were even more frightened. Several of them were so scared that they were about to scream, but they were covered with hands by the people around them.
The other party is a complete lunatic!
This is what everyone present is thinking at the moment.
As the person with the highest status present, Marquis Ralph had to calm down faster than others. Since the other party did not start killing as soon as he came in, it meant that this was not their purpose.
"Excuse me, sir, is there anything you can do for us?"
After hearing what Marquis Ralph said, the other party turned his gaze to him and spoke in a somewhat frivolous tone.
"It looks like you are the one in charge."
"That's right, I want to talk to you about cooperation."
……
Chapter 48 Send me your home address and I'll have someone perform a dance for you
"Everyone seems to have encountered some minor troubles recently. I'm sure everyone must be very distressed."
"But don't worry now, because I'm here, and I love helping people solve their problems the most."
"I believe you have recognized me. Yes, I am the one who planned the serial suicides."
"what?!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, everyone burst into a burst of astonishment, and then they reacted immediately and covered their mouths. They looked at the black thing that the young man placed under his feet with great nervousness. The energy fluctuations emanating from it made everyone feel extremely frightened.
Although Marquis Ralph had already guessed it in his mind, after hearing the young man personally admit his identity, he admitted that he still underestimated the other party's ability.
The crazy feeling of the other person is indeed consistent with his identity, but believing everything others say is not a smart thing to do.
Therefore, after thinking about his words, Marquis Ralph spoke slowly.
"You said you were the serial killer, shouldn't you produce some evidence?"
