BXBX NOVEL Chapter 72: bizarre death
Knowing the content of the mission, he immediately got into the carriage with Ivy and left the Security Bureau.
The carriage stopped at the guard house, and the two of them entered the guard house.
"Miss Ivy, Mr. Feline..."
At the office of the Minister of Security, Jumana, who became the temporary Minister of Security, received the two.
"Congratulations on being promoted to the Minister of Security."
Flynn said to Jumana.
"It's just a temporary replacement."
Jumana shook her head.
As the Minister of Security, Duff is the person in charge of Gnawing Tooth in Constant City. Among the eight sheriffs, all seven except her are Gnawing Tooth cultists.
Now, she is the highest-ranking guard in the city's security department, so she is the temporary head of the security department to maintain the normal operation of the security department.
However, she reckons she won't be in this position for long.
Whether from qualifications or background, it is difficult for her to sit firmly in this position.
The new Minister of Security will either be transferred from other cities or transferred from other departments.
"You should be here for the recent frequent accidental deaths, right?"
"Well, can you elaborate on the whole thing?"
Ivy asked.
"About a week ago, people died in various accidents one after another."
"Some people suddenly ran off the road and were killed by a speeding carriage, some fell down the stairs, some suddenly choked to death while eating, and some were crushed to death by a flower pot that fell from the street..."
"I thought it was an accident at first, but similar accidents became more and more frequent. I felt different and reported it to the Security Bureau."
Jumana said.
has dealt with the secret magician of the security bureau a lot, and she has become extremely sensitive to the mystery.
"Are there any corpses left?"
Fehling asked.
"The people who died initially, after the investigation found no abnormalities, they returned the bodies to their relatives, who should have been buried by now."
"The last person who died felt different, so he detained his body and is currently in the morgue in the basement of the Security Department."
Jumana replied.
"Then let someone take us to the morgue to have a look."
"I'll take you there."
The three left the office of the Security Department, followed the stairs, entered the basement, and came to the door of the morgue.
pushed the door open and entered, there were bed frames after corpses in the morgue, but at this time there was only a corpse covered with a white cloth lying on one bed frame.
"Contact Mystery, add 0.1 to Mystery Points."
Entering the room, text immediately appeared in front of Fei Lin's eyes and quickly disappeared.
Seeing the words that appeared and disappeared quickly, he immediately understood that the corpse was stained with mysterious aura, and this matter must involve mystery.
"This man drowned in the bathtub while taking a shower."
Walking to the corpse covered with white cloth, Zhumana said.
"Are you sure you didn't drown?"
Ivy asked.
"At that time, his wife and fifteen-year-old child were in the living room. Seeing that there was no movement in the bathroom for a long time, he opened the door and went in to check. As a result, he found dead in the bathtub."
"Unless his wife and children lied, it should have been an accidental death."
Jumana said.
Felin took out a pair of white gloves, put them on both hands, lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and performed an autopsy on the corpse.
This is a man in his forties, and his body did not swell like a drowned person.
Probably because he was found soon after drowning and was fished out of the water.
All over the body, without any bruises or injuries.
After a moment, the autopsy was over, Flynn said.
"There are no external wounds, and there is obvious accumulation of water in the mouth and nose. It is indeed drowned."
"Um."
Ivy watched Fehling's entire inspection process, and she came to the same conclusion as Fehling.
she asked Jumana.
"How are the mother and son doing now?"
"It's too strange to be drowned in a bathtub, because there is a possibility of mutual murder, so I was imprisoned."
Jumana said.
"Take us a look."
The three left the morgue, went up the stairs to the upper floor, and entered an interrogation room.
There is a mother and son in the interrogation room. The mother is about forty years old, about the same age as the male corpse.
The boy looks like a boy, with a little fluffy beard around his lips.
Both of them had sad expressions on their faces. They were obviously very sad about the death of the middle-aged man, but they didn't know if it was fake.
"Officer, we have always had a good relationship with Horner. We really didn't kill him. When we found him, he was already dead in the bathtub."
"We didn't kill my father..."
Seeing the three people entering the interrogation room, the middle-aged woman and the boy hurriedly said anxiously.
Clap!
Ivy snapped her fingers, and the voices of the middle-aged woman and the boy who were anxiously defending stopped abruptly.
The expression on 's face became sluggish, apparently falling into hypnosis.
"Did you kill Horner Esper?"
Ivy asked.
"We didn't kill him."
The middle-aged woman and the teenager said in unison.
"Tell us how you found out Horner Esper's death."
Ivy said.
"After dinner, he boiled water to take a bath. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see him come out of the bathroom, so he opened the door and went in to check..."
The middle-aged woman and the boy answered.
Clap!
Ivy snapped her fingers and ended the interrogation.
It is certain that middle-aged men were not killed by middle-aged women and teenagers.
Ivy, Fei Lin, and Zhu Mana walked out of the interrogation room, Fei Lin said.
"It stands to reason that it is impossible to drown a person in a bathtub. The death of this person is indeed strange."
"I'm going to find a wild cat to see if I can find a strange smell."
Ivy said.
"No, I got a cursed object, and I can use this cursed object to find strange smells."
Flynn shook his head.
The three returned to the morgue again, Fehlin took off his shoes to avoid being pierced by sharp claws later, and used his maddening teeth.
The body is covered with black hair, the body becomes strong, the hands and feet grow sharp claws, and it turns into a werewolf.
With the help of the werewolf's sense of smell, he looked for strange smells.
For a moment, he released the use of the maddening teeth and returned to normal, and said with some doubts.
"I didn't smell anything strange."
"There is no strange smell, is it possible to hide the smell?"
Ivy frowned.
"I think we should apply for borrowing the doom drawing board, maybe we can get clues by searching for breath."
Flynn said.
Aura is a kind of "information" that cannot be smelled through the sense of smell, and is somewhat similar to the traces of extraordinary abilities.
Doom board can obtain information about the murderer by capturing this "information".
When you can't find enemies by smell, it's a good way to search.
The only bad thing about is that you need to pay the price of bad luck to use.
However, when he has not practiced the Eye of Appraisal, he can bear the cost of using it. Now that the Eye of Appraisal has reached the sixth ring, the cost after weakening it should become extremely small.
