Chapter 561: Killing Intent (II)

Once again, Cervantes returned to the blackened inn he had burned, and although there was nothing left of it, the only clue might be there.

After Serra learned of the news that there was a plague in Windcity, she had completely locked down Winder City, and no one could escape from the city, even if there were no soldiers stationed there.

Using the snowstorm to keep people out of town was just an excuse, and she didn't want too many people to know that Winde City was cut off from the outside world.

No one knew about his arrival, and the place was quarantined, because no one knew if there would be any plague left here, and the dedicated paladins, under the guidance of doctors and priests, stood outside the security line to guard the entry of others.

They were joined by the city guards and police, all wearing heavy hazmat suits that gave them the confidence to stand here.

No one can get into it, and no fool will go for the plague, and while no one knows what it is, it's not a good thing anyway.

Even if they are 'extraordinary', they can be killed by the plague if they are not careful, so the vigilance of paladins and police officers may not be necessary, but their presence gives people peace of mind.

Cervantes walked into the hotel with great stealth skills, the wooden ceiling overhead had been scorched black with smoke and fire, and even the supporting columns made it easy to wonder if the house would collapse.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, Cervantes controlled the fire and did not let the flames burn down the house, but it is impossible to live here, instead of disinfecting and decorating, it is better to burn it with fire to prevent the possible residual plague from appearing in Wende City.

Sooner or later, the hotel would have to burn down, and until then, Cervantes wanted to come here to see if any clues had really been left here.

Reaching the corner of the stairs, Cervantes glanced upstairs and then turned to the hotel door.

The lower half of the staircase faces the main door, while the upper half is blocked by a wooden wall that supports the floor, and it is only when you go around this corner that you can see the scene downstairs.

Looking at where he was beneath his feet, Cervantes thought back to what had happened an hour or two ago, when the man with the plague was standing right here, where he was standing.

At that time, he only used the flames to restrict people's movements, and the instinctive premonition of crisis caused him to ignite the fire, but he still did not burn all the sudden outbreak of the plague, and people were infected with the plague.

Is there a 'starting condition' set up, or is there someone behind it?

He walked into the hotel, but the door was still open, and if there was really someone behind him, then why didn't he catch him off guard, but let the plague carry it in front of him, and let the plague break out?

Was it to provoke him?

If we think about it another way, Ziegler happened to be in this neighborhood with the doctors on the flying magic carpet, and he came to this hotel shortly after the outbreak of the plague, then, is it a coincidence?

From this point of view, Ziegler is very suspicious, but it is doubtful whether he did it.

Cervantes did not think that Ziegler would use such a simple method, but whether Ziegler took into account his mentality and used this simple method to prepare for his own whitewashing?

Walking over to the counter, he found a pile of ashes inside the counter, which was probably the inn's ledger, but even if the ledger wasn't burned to ashes, he might not be able to read it.

Most people in this era were illiterate, and even the owners of inns and taverns would only use some symbols that they could understand when keeping accounts, and they would not keep track of which room the guests stayed in, only which room charged how much.

Because of the imperfection of the information, Cervantes frowned.

After seeing the scenes in Sera's memory, he longed for the earth in the 21st century, and now he was fed up with this era, no wonder Sera wanted to popularize education, and now it was very troublesome to even investigate the case.

This made him very annoyed, the black dragon's temper was not good, and the previous incident was caused by his negligence, so he was already angry!

Ziegler is a legend, and even the gods' [Identifying Lies] are useless to him, otherwise, Cervantes wouldn't need to be so angry now.

The previous fire burned everything, whether it was the smell before or the clues that might exist, it was all burned to the ground!

How many people in this world, apart from Serra, know him Cervantes so well?

If, as Ziegler claims, he was calculated, then how did that or those who calculated him know about his Cervantes habits?

The 'people' in the world who know him Cervantes so well, except for Sera, is the only one in this city with Ziegler's red dragon, and now all doubts point to that red dragon, so is this really what Ziegler did?

The thin ice on the streets and the snow on the eaves had melted and washed into the sewers, and the 'sewers' mentioned by Ziegler had probably been destroyed without the slightest clue.

There is no evidence that this is what Ziegler did, but there is also no evidence that Ziegler did not do it......

The problem seems to have entered an endless loop, because now there is no evidence at all, and all clues have disappeared...... Is it?

No, since that person lives here, whether it's the innkeeper or anyone else, he must have seen who he came into contact with!

Cervantes told Serena about this, and he sat on the blackened wooden staircase waiting for news.

The innkeeper was also infected with the plague, and Cervantes did not find anything in the inn infected with the plague before meeting the person, so it means that the innkeeper had contact with that person, but did not contract the plague, is it possible?

Of course, if this is the case, it means that the person was actually infected with the plague not long ago.

I asked the innkeeper and the clerk, and the man was very withdrawn, having stayed at the inn eighteen days ago, just before the snow closed the road. No one had entered his room in those eighteen days, and he hadn't been out of it much, and it was because of this strange thing that he was remembered. ’

After receiving the maid's reply, Cervantes frowned, and the meaning of these two sentences was that there was no other information.

However, his room was in the fourth room on the left side of the second floor. ’

Cervantes stood up, walked to the door of the room with heavy steps, and kicked it open.

Eyes sharper than falcons scanned the roomβ€”

It's so clean!

Cervantes' heart skipped a beat, and he pursed his lips.

He couldn't imagine that this was the room of a man who had lived here for eighteen days?

The tattered quilt lay on the bed, and the burnt pillows lay quietly, and in addition to a bed, there was a table and a chair in this room, but the tables and chairs had not been moved.

If the person heard something and went downstairs to see what was going on, would the furnishings be so neat?

That person, there's a problem!

"I've found you......" Cervantes grinned.
