"What do you think?" Kate asked Yi Liuling after walking out of the hospital.
"The description he just gave is probably not lying, right?" Yi Liuling didn't know much about Wuluo, so she could only consult Kate, "I think what he said was quite detailed. He should be very impressed and won't say anything wrong. place."
Can it not be a deep impression? This was an almost fatal injury. If the situation allowed, Uro would have wanted to count all the hairs on that black figure.
"Uro probably didn't lie. I've met him several times. He has a rather upright personality. If he deliberately concealed it, there would be something unnatural." Kate said, "Unless he has always been pretending. If so, then It must be a very long layout, there is no reason to expose it just to steal a few bamboo shoots."
Yi Liuling nodded: "Let's just assume that what he said is the truth, then there is something very strange involved."
"It seems that you are thinking the same thing as me. Compared with what others said, there is one thing missing from what he described." Kate smiled.
"Yes," Yi Liuling felt that talking to Kate was too laborious, "that scream."
Uro mentioned that he was awakened by Sean, and this Sean was the ranger patrolling next to him. It was he who heard the cry and found the injured Uro.
After the incident, Wuga, as the team leader, did a good job in emergency response.
First, he divided the people present into three groups. Several people, including Sean, who were here before he arrived, were on standby to prevent them from being related to the attack and hiding something by leaving. Then he asked the group of people who followed him to track the black shadow, and the rest who were not good at fighting were responsible for sending Uro to the hospital.
After discovering the stolen bamboo shoots, the group's search records were immediately submitted to Kate, confirming their innocence, thus greatly increasing the credibility of their testimony.
Before Uro woke up, Kate's knowledge of the case mainly came from Sean's oral account, and his statement was generally consistent with others. He was not the only one who heard the screams, but he was the first to arrive because he was closer.
However, the two discovered one thing after hearing what Uro said, that is, after this guy was attacked and comatose, the next time he woke up was Sean who found him. In other words, Uro's memory does not include the scream that Sean heard.
It is not impossible to say that Uro screamed unconsciously, but why? If he screams when he is attacked, it may be because of injury or panic, but if he is already unconscious, what can make him scream again?
While discussing, the two walked back to the scene and squatted down next to the human-shaped hole on the ground.
The strange shape here shows that when Uro falls, there should be a protrusion on the chest. However, there were no burn marks on the ground consistent with his chest, which undoubtedly showed that there was no explosion at that time.
"Could it be a delayed explosion?" Yi Liuling asked, "But if that's the case, there's something wrong with what Sean said."
It is an indisputable fact that Uro was injured in the chest. If he wanted not to leave traces on the ground, he must have been on his back when the explosion occurred. This is inconsistent with Sean's description.
Kate was very straightforward. Once the problem arose, she immediately went to Sean to verify it.
After hearing the two people's analysis, Sean lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I lied."
"It's not too late for you to confess now. You have been working as a forest guard for so many years. I believe you will not do anything to harm the bamboo forest." Kate stared at Sean with a gentle voice.
"Actually, on the whole, I didn't lie." Sean quietly raised his head to glance at Kate, then quickly lowered his head. Yi Liuling on the side noticed that his ears were red, "It's just that I didn't hear the tragic news. Instead, I went to ask Uro about something. But when I arrived, I saw him lying on the ground. I didn’t know what he was doing, so I used my magic to detect it, and his chest suddenly exploded."
"In other words, there is a trigger-type thing on his chest?" Yi Liuling asked.
"It should be... right?" Sean hesitated, obviously not sure, "Anyway, I was startled by that thing and couldn't help but scream."
Kate looked at Sean: "So, the scream that others heard was made by you? You just lied and said it was Uro's voice?"
"Yes." Sean nodded.
Kate continued: "Then why did you hide this?"
"Well, because I went to discuss the matter with Wu Luo, it was considered AWOL. Although nothing happened in Zhulin for so many years, everyone was actually slacking off, but if the captain found out, he would definitely be blamed. "Yes." Sean murmured, "Moreover, that thing seems to have exploded due to my magic power. From this point of view, I am also responsible for Uro's injury. You know that the captain loves his younger brother the most..."
Yi Liuling could understand Sean's meaning. Obviously not every forest guard was as passionate and meticulous as the Wushi brothers. There would be a few fishy guys. In fact, the matter of seizing the bamboo shoots was quite unexpected. If it hadn't happened by chance, not many people would have taken Sean seriously.
But he just ran into it and seriously injured his immediate boss's biological brother. No wonder he had to find a way to cover it up.
"Okay, I understand." Kate nodded, "In this case, our initial thinking may have gone wrong. The person who attacked Uro did not use fire attacks. He should have used a delayed trigger device. It will be activated when encountering alien magic. I think he should be targeting Uro, because when a person finds a strange object on his body after waking up, he will definitely use magic to shake it away."
"So it will trigger that thing a second time, delaying the progress of his tracking again?" Yi Liuling understood, "I seem to have heard of this kind of magic. It should be related to the type of magic triggered, right? In other words, Xiao Mr. En, are you a fire magician?"
"No, I am a summoner, but my natal item is a fire monster." Sean smiled bitterly.
"Wow, that Wuluo is really unlucky," Yi Liuling murmured, "With other attributes, he probably wouldn't have been hurt so badly."
From this point of view, the reason that Sean accidentally saved Uro is untenable. After all, Uro is a warrior. If it was triggered by his own magic power, it would basically be another faint or a slight flesh injury at most. Even if no one notices anything unusual, it won't be difficult to survive until the shift changes the next morning.
"Okay, that's it, there's no need to say more." Kate saw that Sean's face was not very good, so she didn't reprimand her too much, and said calmly, "No matter what, you made a mistake this time. You can say it yourself If you have bad luck, you can also say that I am unkind. I will not cover it up for you. Remember to collect the punishment yourself and don’t ask me to notify you on your behalf.”
"I know." Sean sighed.
