Felbers Villa, study room.
Felbers was already dressed and placed on the chair in front of the desk, crawling on the desk like he saw when Chateau came, holding the wooden ink pen in his hand.
After driving out all the servants, Mrs. Patty personally came to the place where Felbers had been placed before Chateau, tapped lightly, and tapped elsewhere.
The voice was not different, and there was no obvious switch on the surface, Mrs. Patty looked at Chateau again, "Master Chateau" "I'll try it!"
Chateau was sure that there was a hidden compartment below, but it was detected through Felbers' corpse at that time. It would be good to know that there was something inside, and did not carefully search for the opening method.
If you want to open it now, Xia Duo needs to cast [Contrast Art] again. This spell is a combination of [Communication] and [Phantom Sound]. The essence is still a 0-level spell. The maximum detection range is not more than one arm, and it is also related to the material of the object. The denser the object or the more fluffy the object, the smaller the detection range, and the more it can be detected in the intermediate state.
Before performing [Imaging], Xia Duo glanced at Master Kaili, and Kaili turned his head away with a cold snort. In Mrs. Patty's eyes, perhaps he did not want to pry into Xia Duo's secret.
But in fact, the recognition of spells in the state of concentration does not entirely require eyes to see, and vague judgments can be made based on perception alone.
The last time Kaili saw him cast a spell, but this time he didn't want to make Kaili cheap. The spell itself was not very difficult. What was valuable in it was the application of sound that Xia Duo brought from the earth.
Echo detection is known to almost everyone on the earth, but this is not the case with Nise, even if someone knows it, they will not easily tell others. Hum
Xia Duo's palm hovered less than 2 centimeters above the floor, and the invisible wave instantly penetrated the floor, and the floor actually resonated with Xia Duo's detection sound waves, making a deep buzzing sound.
This made it difficult to detect specific information. Xia Duo immediately adjusted the frequency, and a gray picture with obvious outlines and different shades was fed back.
This time he not only determined what was inside, but also found the mechanism to open the secret grid. In front of Mrs. Patty, Chateau pressed the switch--
It is an eye-like switch hidden in the wood texture of the floor, about the size of a normal person's thumb surface. If someone familiar with the wood texture carefully examines it, it may also be found.
After the switch was pressed, a piece of the floor slowly retracted, revealing a hidden grid.
"what--"
After Chateau pressed the switch, Mrs. Patty suddenly uttered an exclamation, and the voice attracted Carey. Mrs. Patty saw that there was a hidden grid on the floor, and—
"That eye!"
Without the first time to check the hidden objects, Mrs. Patty was already crying bitterly. Faced with the sudden emotional loss of control, Xia Duo took a step back.
At this moment, Carey stepped forward, helped Mrs. Patty, and comforted: "Madam, do you need my help?"
"Thank you Master Master!" Mrs. Patty broke free of Carey and said to Chateau, "Master Chateau, I understand, Felbers did not have an accident the day before yesterday, but several days ago."
Kay was greenish, almost angrily and left the field, but he was reluctant to bear the shiny gold coins, and resisted his displeasure to stay, and he was also interested in Xia Duo now.
After hearing Mrs. Patty's explanation, Chateau didn't understand how to tell from his eyes that Felbers had an accident for several days!
"Can Mrs. Patty elaborate, if you want to find the murderer, the more information you know, the easier it will be to know."
"I understand." Mrs. Patty wiped her tears, controlled her emotions, and said, "Felbers has a magical item that looks like a small cane, and she takes it with her almost every day, but five days ago, he came back from the Chamber of Commerce. The walking stick was gone. He said at the time that he was stolen while checking the cargo at the dock.
"and then?"
"Then two days ago, he suddenly said that he would go upstairs to deal with some things, and then—"
Mrs. Patty's eyes fell again.
But Xia Duo continued to ask, "What does that cane have to do with this eye?"
"The end of that cane is an eye-shaped metal cylinder."
Needless to say, Xia Duo understands that just now he pressed the opening mechanism with his hand, which is not too difficult for him, but Felbers is just an ordinary person, and he is still in his 50s. Strength is hard to say.
And starting with magic items may make an ordinary person feel more at ease.
"Madam, I need to check the secrets!"
After verifying the secret case, Mrs. Patty already believed in Chateau's judgment on the cause of Felbers's death, but for the examination of the secret case, she still let Carey go with her.
"Two adults, please feel free to check. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I just want to know who killed my Felbers."
Carey didn’t know it, but Mrs. Patty’s needs from checking the cause of death to investigating the murderer were still clear. But if you didn’t check the cause of death, wouldn’t it be because you couldn’t get gold coins? He was actually similar to Chateau. Not much interest.
"Mrs. Patty, do you really believe his judgment? I think it is necessary to check once."
"No, no need!" Mrs. Patty directly refused, she has already made a decision, "Felbers may have had an accident five days ago~EbookFREE.me~ There is not much to worry about the cause of death two days ago. Necessary, I want to find the murderer!"
Seemingly seeing Carey's thoughts, Mrs. Patty said, "As for the reward, Mrs. Carey don't have to worry about it. As long as the adults investigate carefully, the reward will definitely satisfy you."
The words are so blunt, what can Carey say, glanced at Xia Duo, and began to check the things in the dark, and Xia Duo had already obtained the mission certificate of at least 400 gold coins, and now he can earn more by doing more. Not too much at all.
While the two were checking the secret grid, Mrs. Patty ordered the servant to come in again and carried Felbers out, but the will that said she inherited all the property did not move.
"Two adults, you can browse the things in the secret grid and the study at will. There will be other people to help investigate later, please forgive me."
"understood!"
Xia Duo glanced at Kaili subconsciously, and Kaili happened to look at him. In his eyes, the two people who were originally cold and even contradictory agreed for the first time-this woman is crazy!
The old man is dead, he is still young, and he doesn't want to get his possessions first, but he wants to avenge him. Is there such an unforgettable love?
Xia Duo has never been in love, and he yearns for love, but he is more accepting of reality. If he is Mrs. Patty, the first thing is to gather the family property and the old man’s son. After that, whether he wants revenge or whatever, he can plan in detail. It’s better to catch someone and let him investigate.
With such a big trouble, is it not afraid that the murderer will jump out and kill her too? However, Chateau was not Mrs. Patty after all, and he could not know the true thoughts of this woman, but he had no reason to refuse this kind of work that was almost a gift.
Maybe this trip can complete the mission indicators of promotion authority!
