Chapter 268

Barker died so quickly that he couldn't take his death as a coincidence.

Would it be better if Ann didn't go shopping and realized that Barker might know the clue earlier?

No, in fact, when Bacchus died, an Yizhi had just been blindfolded and walked around the city. At that time, he didn't know that the demon guide king was in a coma. In any case, it was impossible to extract clues from Bacchus. But the other party is so anxious to kill people, I'm afraid Barker really has some key evidence.

So, the barkers are dead. Where's the evidence?

"Fast, do you know where Barker's home is?"

"I don't know. I heard this name for the first time today."

Fast is only the escort of the princess. She can't be expected to know the facts.

"However, there should be records in the prison. When each prisoner is sent in, he will record some basic information to facilitate contact with his family."

An Yi pointed to the two trembling jailers, who immediately understood and hurried to look for a record on the table.

"Sir, Barker's home is in the fortress city. This is the detailed address."

The jailer seemed to regard an Yizhi as a senior official. In particular, he saw that fast's position was a guard behind an Yizhi, which made him feel that the young man could not offend.

They misunderstood better. An of the province took trouble. He glanced at the address and said to fast:

"Now send reliable investigators to his house. By the way, can you mobilize the Dragon Eagle knights?"

"A few scouts can. The Dragon Eagle knights can command only when ordered by your majesty."

"Scouts can do it. We need to find Barker as quickly as possible."

Fast nodded, pressed his left hand on his temple and used communication to communicate with someone far away. Soon she said:

"Investigators are on their way"

An Yizhi also wants communication. This little spell is not high grade, but it is very useful for players who can't use system SMS to contact in the copy.

You can let go of the communication technology. It's estimated that you won't refuse to give it if you come back to them later. Now you'd better deal with the immediate matter first.

"How many guards have access to Barker?"

"Four, my Lord, there are two shifts besides the two of us."

"Do you have a medical examiner?"

"Forensic?"

Looking at the three NPCs in front of them, an Yizhi changed his words:

"What? Well, it's the one responsible for examining the body."

"Yes"

"What did he say was the cause of Barker's death?"

"Excessive shock and relaxation lead to heart paralysis and sudden death"

Died so on time and told me about sudden death? I guess there's something wrong with the forensic medicine.

"You, go and get the other two guards. By the way, call the body inspector and gather in the empty yard outside."

Watching the guard run away like a dog, it's estimated that he knows he's on a big deal.

"Shall I mobilize the guards?"

Fast offered eagerly.

Ann was speechless. The sister thought about the general's addiction and went crazy.

Through chatting along the way, an Yizhi learned that fast originally belonged to the demon guide crusade. Later, Princess fast selected her when she accompanied the demon guide king to inspect the training of the national defense force, which became the princess escort. In fact, the girl's biggest dream is to be a general.

There was too much movement to mobilize the guards. An Yi pointed out that he wanted to refuse. Then he thought that their investigation could hide the melon eaters who didn't know the truth, but they certainly couldn't hide the behind the scenes. It doesn't matter whether the movement is big or small. Besides, the cell is just inside the military camp, so it's not troublesome to mobilize.

"Call them in and keep them on standby. It's estimated that they will be used in the future."

Considering that there is a marquis and a grandson among the suspects, only because they are weak in combat effectiveness, maybe farque thought of this before he handed over the keepsake that can mobilize the guards to fast, although Ann Yizhi thought that the princess could not think so far

Faster was quite excited and gave orders with messenger. An pointed to the rest of the guards and said:

"Take us to Barker's cell"

"Yes, sir, this way"

Ordinary prisoners are usually locked in the underground cell of the military camp. On the one hand, the army can help take care of them, on the other hand, it can save space. Barker is just a small businessman and can't enjoy the treatment of high force prisoners or key criminals, so his cell is close to the exit and can be seen after walking about 50 meters.

"Here it is, my Lord."

Ann looked up and down inside the cell, feeling that there was nothing worth noting.

There was only one blanket in the cell, not even a window. The only light was the torch on the outer wall of the cell.

He quietly touched out the book of the dead. He thought he could see Barker's soul, but there was nothing around.

It's just that there are no souls of other prisoners who died in the prison. The prison in the magical world must often invite spell casters who can purify to clean up regularly, otherwise the prison will soon be occupied by all kinds of grievances, but Barker has only died for a few hours. Is his soul staying in the world so short?

Generally speaking, the more the soul yearns for the world, the longer it stays. Those souls with strong resentment will stay longer and finally be eroded by negative energy into resentment.

When a materialistic businessman like Barker died, he didn't care at all?

"Hella, what poison or spell can send the soul away together?"

"Well... A lot. I should say too much."

Not to mention other factions, there are a lot of spells under the necromancer faction alone that can interfere with or send away souls.

"What if only toxins are limited?"

"There are many... Do you need me to make a list?"

To this extent?

Ann nodded. The guard could do things. He quickly found a pen and paper.

Haila wrote with her claws. Ann asked the guard to open the cell door. He went in and checked it in detail.

"Tut Tut, Barker cried so sad"

The pillow position of the blanket roll is wet and not dry.

"Well, what's so strange about crying in the cell?"

"No, it's normal to cry, but it depends on why."

Fast still looked like he didn't know why, and Ann didn't bother to explain.

Barker cried because he probably knew he had lost something and would not live long. Otherwise, he would have no problem getting out of prison safely.

"Master, I've written it."

HeLa threw a whole piece of paper full of dense symbols to Ann. She felt dizzy when she looked at it casually.

An Yizhi was indeed learning the words in the game, but his progress was very limited. It was very difficult to read at ordinary times, not to mention that Hella's handwriting was still scrawly and more difficult to recognize, so he had to pretend to understand and throw it to fast.

——Typical death requires face.

"Is it possible to buy the above materials in the magic city?"

Fast looked at it carefully and replied:

"Most of them are impossible. There is a monitoring array at the city gate, and any contraband will be found out. Even if it is used for official purposes such as refining drugs, any of these materials needs to be reported for approval."

Although the science and technology in different world seems to be very backward, in fact, their management is no worse than that in modern times, especially the management of toxic substances.

"Energy stone is also contraband. Will it be found out?"

"No problem"

The buyer is inside the magic city. Since the monitoring array at the gate can find out contraband, the buyer must have a channel to avoid the gate.

Ann pointed and thought, isn't it a sewer again? But fast told him that the inspection and management of sewers was stricter than the city gate.

"Is there a black market or something in this city?"

If you want to buy contraband, it's probably in that place.

"Well, I don't know. I'll ask the housekeeper later."

The princess's housekeeper is also responsible for controlling an intelligence department, which seems very common among nobles. Maybe the housekeeper really knows the existence of the black market.

"Is the housekeeper reliable?"

"Housekeeper Morgan has served his majesty for 30 years and has been his Majesty's servant since he was a teenager."

"How about his combat effectiveness?"

"Combat effectiveness? The housekeeper only knows a little magic and doesn't know any combat skills at all"

Ann nodded. His suspicious illness made him ask a few more questions. Anyway, he was an old man of 30 years. If there were any problems, I'm afraid he would have been found out by the demon guide king.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Fast reported that the housekeeper did know that there was a black market, but he didn't know where it was. He was ordering someone to investigate and needed some time.

The guards and forensics that Ann Yizhi asked for earlier arrived, so they left the dark cell and came to the open space outside the prison.

Rows and rows of soldiers with guns, sticks and magic armor stood upright. They were the magic guide Crusade transferred by fast, about 200 people. This force was enough to besiege any nobleman in the city.

In front of them was a pale corpse. It was Barker. There are also four nervous guys. They are the jailer in charge of Barker and a coroner for autopsy.

"Are you a forensic?"

"Yes, sir, my name is..."

"I don't have time to listen to your name. Tell me how he died."

"Sudden death, the cause of death is heart paralysis"

An Yizhi touched out a pair of special silver chopsticks for drug testing and put them into Barker's mouth. He saw that the silver chopsticks turned black in an instant.

"He has a problem, drag it down and cut it"

"No interrogation?"

Fast doesn't understand.

With an awe inspiring smile, an Yi pointed out:

"All you know is that I'm a student of master Nikula, but you don't know what I can do. Look at this."

He took out a small bottle with phosphorous fire inside. It was like a ghost face floating up and down in the fluctuating phosphorous fire.

"Necromancer!"

The forensic medicine is also a person who knows the goods, he exclaimed.

"This thing is called a soul refining bottle. Any soul thrown in will be slowly burned by phosphorous fire and finally die in endless pain. Therefore, it is easier for the dead than the living to open their mouth and drag it down and cut it."

The magic guide Crusaders on both sides looked at fast, who nodded gently. Immediately, two soldiers came out to hold the forensic's hands and prepare to drag them away.

"My Lord! I know I'm wrong! I said"

If you test the wrong cause of death, you can still justify your dereliction of duty, but if it really falls into the hands of the necromancer, it's called hi Fantian.

"Someone gave me 50 gold coins to fake the cause of death"

"Who is that man?"

"I don't know..."

"Drag down"

"I really don't know, sir! When we met, he wore a black robe and a mask to cover his identity. I only saw from my arm that he was a middle-aged man."

The forensic medicine is almost scared to pee. It is estimated that there should be no concealment.

Obviously, Barker died of severe poison. The remaining question is how Barker was poisoned.

Ann pointed to the jailer. One of them was shaking like a chicken
