Chapter 864: The Mage's Methods

After some careful investigation, Rhodes came up with his own speculation.

In this vicious case, there are two murderers - one is the real murderer hiding in the shadows, and the other is the son of an elder who directly kills people, and the former planned the whole case.

The state of the entire mansion is perfect, unusually perfect, there is no trace of any invasion, nor any footprints left by uninvited guests, the murderer did not actually erase his traces, but did not enter the scene of the crime at all.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the real murderer used some methods to break down the psychological defense of the son of the elder, borrowed a knife to kill people after he fell into madness, and finally induced this suicide while he felt guilty.

And the blood of all the victims painted a lifelike ...... on the walls Rosedie.

When he saw this rosemary, Rhodes had a moment of subconscious thinking that a pervert had drawn the flower in human blood here - and the smell of psychedelics seemed to confirm this, and it seemed that looking for the traces left by the murderer seemed to be a good direction to follow......

However, the moment he smelled the faint smell of gunsmoke, Rhodes denied all previous speculations.

If you really follow this angle, then I am afraid that you will really fall into the obstacle arranged by the murderer.

On the night of the Flame Wave, Rhodes had seen a number of pirates who had been shot in the head with muskets - if any unlucky guy was standing in front of the wall, a flower would have appeared on the wall after he had been shot in the head.

Maybe not as beautiful as this rosemary, but ...... Same.

Rhodes carefully observed all the wounds of the deceased, and from the results it was all knives, which exactly matched the knife in the hands of the Elder's son, and the only problem was...... The amount of bleeding doesn't seem right.

To draw a rosedie on the wall, a knife may not leave enough wounds - unless the deceased was leaning against the wall when the artery was split.

And judging by the regularity of the blood on the walls, this is not possible.

If it were a normal detective, they would also see this, so they would also come to the conclusion that "the murderer drew this flower with the help of blood after killing someone", which corroborates with the previous traces.

But alas, Rhodes also knew that there was another way to achieve this result.

Empty guns.

Or rather...... A warless gun for the Hex revolver.

Using Hex Crystals and Leather City Gunpowder, firearms can inflict damage in a variety of ways to their targets, including Frost, Lightning, Fire, and ...... It depends on what kind of warhead you prepare, what kind of damage you can do.

If you don't use a special bullet when using the Hex revolver, there will be an empty gun, and when the empty gun is activated, there will be a pure impact.

With special modifications (such as lengthening the barrel, adding aims, tightening the trajectory, etc.), Hex's revolver's empty gun can send this energy shock wave far away, and when it hits the target, the target will feel as if it has been squeezed by a fat man.

If the son of the elder cuts the artery of the deceased, he uses this empty gun method to shoot a shot, then it can completely have the effect of "squeezing bloodletting", leaving a red stroke on the wall.

Since the empty gun has no bullets, there are very few marks left after the pure impact, and if a little treatment is done in the muzzle before the gun is fired, maybe the hallucinogens can also appear on the scene with the impact of the empty gun......

Thinking of this, Rod raised his head.

The murder took place in the large main hall, and once the doors of the main hall were opened...... Right in front of you are a few high-rise buildings in the city of Navoli!

Rhodes had found enough information, and just as he was about to leave here and look for more traces of where the real culprit might have trodden, he discovered something new in the Arcane Eye.

In the corner of the room, someone laid a trap.

It's an interesting trap, the trap itself isn't as lethal as it looks, and it looks crude, but cleverly, it's not the slightest fluctuating rune, similar to the traps made by the hunters of Azeroth with their special trap launchers.

Rod raised an eyebrow, but didn't choose to touch the trap.

Discovering a trap and dismantling a trap are two different things, and Rod doesn't want to touch his head.

Moreover, the effect of looking at the trap doesn't seem too strong, right?

Shaking his head, Rhodes ignored the trap and disappeared once again.

……………………

After leaving the Elder's Mansion, Rhodes walked around the nearby high-rise buildings.

Through inquiry, it was learned that among these high-rises, the tower closest to the Elder's Mansion and the best view was a well-known location in Navoli, where the Brotherhood (guerrillas) were founded, as well as the commanding heights of Navoli, and the temporary command center of Ionia after the Battle of Presidium - because of this, there are many tourists who appear here, because Navoli is the gateway to Presidium, and eighty percent of the people who go to Presidium pass through Navoli, and among those who come to Navoli for the first time, Quite a few of them would stop by to check it out, so when Rhodes asked if there were any special customers here, the guy who looked to be in his forties thought for a long time, and then couldn't give an answer.

Rod shook his head helplessly and left the place.

Apparently, the killer is very resourceful, and he seems to be very good at hiding himself in the crowd......

The first day passed like this—by the time we arrived at the inn, it was already completely dark.

Knocking on the next door, and after getting permission, Rhodes went to Akali's room and asked about his previous setup.

"Did you find the elder's information?"

"That's all." Akali nodded, handing Rhodes a stack of materials, "It's not a lot - that spell of yours works well, and that pen copies things quickly." ”

Rod took the information and smiled.

"Transcription is one of the few magic tricks I can use, and when I was an apprentice, I used to cheat in this way - the teachers were very strict at the time, and I could barely pass the written exam except for the plastic energy department, so I could only use a few special tricks......

Hearing Rod say this, Akali's eyes widened in disbelief - a guy as powerful as Rhodes would still be unqualified, so how strict was the "Dalaran" he said?

Although he could see Akali's surprise, Rod didn't explain too much, but told him to rest early, and he would be busy tomorrow, so he took the information and went back to his room.

It was late at night.

Akali began to meditate, while Rhodes compiled the materials in his hand with the help of arcane intelligence.

Unbeknownst to Rod, the "forty-something fellow" he had asked frowned after he had left the tower.

"Faces I've never seen before—I hope this sensitive guy isn't trying to ruin my art......"
