"Speaking of which, what is the murderer's purpose?" Tiona, who did not want to be left out, changed the subject.
Finn lowered his head to look at the body of the deceased and said, "If you just steal something, this is too much."
"No, there is no doubt that this was intentional murder."
Kobayashi interjected.
Finn turned his head, confusion in his eyes.
And Riveria took advantage of the situation and said: "The precious potions, magic stones, maps and other things have not been taken away, and looking at the package being destroyed, it seems that they are looking for something."
"Or maybe it's intentional."
Xiaolin spoke one after another, making the two giants feel that something was wrong.
"Did you discover something?"
"Just think about it from another angle. For example: This woman had a grudge against the deceased, and deliberately used her beauty to seduce and kill her; or she had a grudge against the owner of this shop, and killed people just to throw dirty water. I said the shop owner, Could it be that you had some friction with any woman, so you were retaliated against? After all, you were very frivolous towards them just now."
The rhythmic words made everyone involuntarily cast their eyes on the owner of this store, making the orc tremble with fright on the spot, and he quickly denied and defended loudly.
"I-I haven't had any trouble with any woman!"
"Yes, I think so. How dare you have any friction with a woman when you look so timid?"
"Well, that's too much!"
Xiao Lin stabbed him, while secretly winking at Liu Zi.
At this moment, everyone present realized that he was fighting back for Liu Zi's humiliation just now.
The brave Finn smiled helplessly, and at the same time said slightly reproachfully: "Xiao Lin, this is an important moment, it's better to stop playing around."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Lin answered without sincerity, but then turned around and said, "But I have a general understanding of the whole process, and I have guessed the murderer's movements."
"What?!"xN
Everyone was surprised when they heard his words. Even the shop owner who was teased just now cast a surprised look.
Xiao Lin said at this time: "First of all, there is no friction between the shop owner and the woman."
"Wait, does this matter have anything to do with now?" the shop owner asked angrily.
"Of course, this means that you have nothing to do with the murderer, isn't it important?"
"Yes, it's quite important..."
The orc shop owner suddenly withered.
Xiao Lin added: "What Miss Riveria said just now is right. The prisoner is looking for something, and such something has not been found yet."
"So you kill people in anger?" Burruss interjected.
Xiao Lin shook his head and denied: "No, judging from the roughness of the broken salute, the murderer should have rummaged through the salute after killing the deceased, and was afraid of being discovered by others, so he was so rough. If this is really the case, The prisoner should still be in town."
This sentence made everyone tense up.
No matter how strong a person is, he will feel nervous when he is with an uncaring murderer in a place where he cannot take action.
Especially the murderer can kill a LV4 strong man with one blow.
The brave Finn took advantage of the situation and said: "This thing is worth letting the murderer kill. It shouldn't be so easy to stop."
"Mr. Fenn is right. What's more, we can guarantee that what the murderer is looking for is also in the town, and the person who wants to contact the deceased is still in the town." Xiaolin once again revealed a piece of inferred information.
"Wait, wait, why do you say that?"
"You are really curious, baby, Burruss. How about you think a little bit?"
"Well, that's too much!"
The sturdy one-eyed man shouted aggrievedly.
The brave Finn immediately understood after thinking for a while and said: "If the deceased got something, he would definitely take it with him. After all, this is a dungeon, and you can only rest assured if you keep watch. And this thing was not handed over to him. , which means that he hasn’t met with the contact person yet. No, or the other way around, maybe they have already met and handed over the things.”
"Bingo! And there is no way he would leave the things in this hotel for safekeeping. After all, the owner didn't accept such a trust, right?"
"Yes, yes, but why do you know?"
"Because you're still alive."
What Xiao Lin said made the orc shop owner take a step back in fear.
The same was true for the test just now. The shopkeeper and the woman...that is, the murderer had no intersection, which meant that the things were not placed here.
The two people's reasoning made Tiona, whose brain couldn't keep up, have her eyes spinning in circles.
She couldn't help but ask: "So what should we do now?"
Xiao Lin chuckled and said: "Since the murderer is still here, we can only forbid anyone to leave and investigate one by one, and..."
"We must find the person who contacted the deceased as soon as possible, at least before the murderer is found." The brave Finn also followed closely.
The two reached a consensus instantly.
With the appeal of the Loki Familia, it is not a problem for the adventurers on this level to gather together. Even if they have complaints, they will definitely understand when they learn that they are in a dangerous situation.
The central high platform on the 18th floor.
"In other words, the murderer is a woman who can kill a LV4 man. However, if you use a weapon, it shouldn't be a problem for several levels of killing. In other words..." Burrus grinned with a mischievous smile, and Shouting loudly: "Women need to have a physical examination, take off your clothes quickly!"
“Eh——————!!!” X2
This conclusion naturally aroused excitement in men and anger in women. Before they even started looking for the murderer, the entire security team was already in chaos.
Tiona covered her forehead and said, "This guy really doesn't have a long memory."
"Sure enough, it's better to take off his lower body and tear it up." The angry Tione wanted to step forward.
Riveria said helplessly: "Don't say stupid things. We will check the women's side."
"Everyone, come over here and line up."
Lefiya raised her right hand, signaling for the female adventurers to come here to check.
However, everyone gathered in front of the brave Finn to let this outstanding little human inspect himself.
There is no way, who makes the name of the brave deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
Riveria held her forehead and sighed, feeling helpless. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Lin next to him with his eyes closed. An unknown pattern appeared on his forehead. He didn't know what he was doing.
"Ah, I'm overlooking the entire 18th floor."
"What?"
"I see that you seem to be very curious, so please explain."
"Overlooking..."
Being able to see the overall situation and check the trends is a very powerful ability in battle, especially in melee situations.
The experienced Riveria immediately understood how much potential this ability had.
"But is this really good?"
"What?"
"I'm talking about only checking women because the murderer could also be a man."
"What?"
Riveria was confused by Kobayashi's successive remarks.
This is not her fault. After all, the Elf Royal Family, which has not been contaminated by the information explosion, does not know that there are magical existences such as tomboys, transvestites, and prostitutes in this world. Naturally, they have no idea what Xiaolin is talking about.
but……
"Think about it carefully. If the deceased's head is gone, wouldn't it be used by the murderer? For example, peel off the face and use it as a protective umbrella or something like that."
"What?!"
Even the noble and elderly elven royal family could not help but tighten their complexions and turn slightly pale as they heard the bad deeds that kept coming to their ears.
If it is true as Xiao Lin said, then things will be very serious.
"Critical event." Xiao Lin gave her another heavy blow and said: "On the 18th floor, day and night will change in less than 12 hours, and we don't know how long it will take before it enters night. But there is no doubt What’s more, the search will be much more difficult at night, and the prisoner may even choose to run away if something goes wrong.”
The successive blows made the Elf Royal Family look bad.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin shouted: "Found it! Miss Aisi, on the steps to the east! That dog-human girl, catch her!"
"Um."
Ais nodded and used magic to rush over like the wind.
"Miss Ais?" Lefiya looked at her retreating figure and seemed to understand something and asked, "Can it be said that the murderer has been found?"
"No, I found the person who was in contact with the deceased."
"The person who interacted with the deceased?"
"Ah, thanks to her understanding that her current situation was very dangerous and trembling with fear, my search went smoothly."
Xiao Lin smiled proudly.
In the sight of everyone, the canine girl ran away in fear after seeing Sword Princess Ais rushing toward her. But where can she compare to the swordswoman Ais who possesses wind magic and can accelerate infinitely?
She can't escape her pursuit, but she can't fly without wings.
In the blink of an eye, the dog-human girl was caught.
After seeing this, Liu Zi said: "Master Xiaolin, you can obviously use the ability of clairvoyance, why do you have to go through so much trouble to find a connector?"
"The ability to see through?"
Lefiya subconsciously moved away from Xiao Lin and covered her chest with both hands, as if she was hiding something.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin sighed helplessly: "I'm just afraid of this situation. Do you want me to say, 'Hey, hey, hey, I will use my clairvoyance ability, stand in front of me quickly and let me take a good look at you'? That will be regarded as It’s perverted. So please don’t worry, I won’t use my clairvoyance ability casually.”
The latter sentence is to defend myself slightly.
"Actually, I believe Mr. Xiaolin."
"...Can't tell at all."
Lefiya hugged herself tightly, saying so but her actions didn't look trustworthy at all. However, the ability to see through is too scary for women, and it is understandable that it is difficult to accept it for a while.
Talk about it.
"Miss Riveria, you don't seem to care about my ability to use clairvoyance?"
"Because Xiaolin, you said you wouldn't use this ability casually, right?"
"Of course."
The elf royal family in front of him narrowed his green eyes, and a strong pressure shrouded Xiao Lin's body, with a hint of threat.
It seemed to be saying that if he dared to use clairvoyance on her, he would be beaten to a pulp with magic.
Xiao Lin was frightened and quickly agreed.
It's not good. It's not good to stay any longer.
Xiao Lin coughed lightly and said, "Miss Aisi has caught the connector. I'll go over and have a look now."
"Ah, in that case let's go there together."
"Okay, if Miss Lefiya is willing."
You obviously want to stay away for the time being to ease the embarrassment, so why do you want to come together?
Is the charm of idols so great?
Riveria wanted to stay to maintain order, so Xiaolin, Liu Zi and Lefia went to the direction of Sword Princess Ais.
"Um...could it be that she is going to be interrogated? If so, wouldn't it be better to hand her over to the head of the group?"
"No, this canine girl is already frightened, and any serious interrogation will only make her more panicked."
"That……"
"No problem, just leave it to me."
When they came to the steps, the dog-human girl was holding Sword Princess Ais's thigh and wouldn't let go. Lefiya puffed up her mouth when she saw this scene. It was hard not to suspect that the emotion in her eyes was envy.
Even she never hugged her idol's thigh.
It didn't take long to comfort the panicked dog-human girl. Once she had cried enough and calmed down, she could understand that Xiaolin and others did not mean any harm to her, and then they could have a good conversation.
The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of time, and it is already night by the time she calms down.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin took the initiative and said, "Okay, let me introduce myself first."
"My, my name is Lulune, Lulune Louis, and I belong to the Hermes Familia." The dog-human girl... No, Lulune briefly explained her origins.
"Then why did you run away?"
"Because I'm afraid of being killed."
Just as Kobayashi thought, after hearing that a man wearing armor was killed, Lulune thought it would be her turn next, so she panicked.
Of course, it was precisely because of this that Xiao Lin found her.
"In other words, you are the one who interacts with the deceased, and the package in your arms is what is to be handed over to the deceased?"
"No, not giving, but taking."
Lulune shook her head and recounted the entire incident.
In fact, she accepted a commissioned task. The task was to ask her to go to the tavern to pick up her luggage. It was very simple. But she didn't know who the client was, because she met him while walking at night, and the reward was too much to refuse, so she agreed.
Unexpectedly, he was involved in a murder incident.
"Really, why am I so unlucky? If I had known better, I wouldn't have accepted this kind of mission." Lulune couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"You are just afraid that you will become the next person to die." Xiao Lin exposed her inner thoughts and said, "If you are afraid, then leave your things to us for safekeeping."
"May I?"
"certainly."
"I-I know."
When faced with a crisis, Lulune would of course choose the option with a higher survival rate. It would be of great benefit to her if she could hand over this troublesome thing.
Then he took out a spherical object wrapped in white cloth from the package and handed it to Sword Girl Ais beside him.
"Can we take a look?"
"Well, I was originally asked not to show it to anyone, but now in this situation..."
Lulune also wanted to know what was putting her in danger.
Sword Princess Ais opened the package.
What was revealed was a dark green crystal ball, and inside the crystal ball was the larvae of an unknown creature.
There are several tentacles on the head, and the limbs are gathered together like a baby, and a disgusting aura follows.
Sword Princess Ais looked a little ugly.
Suddenly, the larvae in the crystal ball opened its eyes. Sword Princess Ace fell backwards as if struck by lightning. The crystal ball held by her hands instantly fell to the ground. At the same time, the larvae in the crystal ball also slowly closed its eyes.
"Miss Ace!"
"Miss Ais?"
Lefia and Xiaolin looked at Ais with concern as she stepped back, covering her head and gasping for air with a ferocious expression.
She is naturally dazed, and it is rare for her to have such a strong expression.
"Are you okay, Miss Ais?"
"Uh-huh……"
Sword Princess Ais shook her groggy head, but Lefiya picked up the crystal ball on the ground, but the same thing happened to Ais.
Just then, a sharp whistle sounded.
The ground shook, and giant flower-stem monsters emerged from the floor.
Without giving them time to react, the Elf Curse Seal necklace on Xiaolin's chest lit up, sending a dangerous message from his spine.
"Danger!"
With a shout, he threw Sword Girl Ais to the ground.
boom!
The next second, a black shadow fell from the sky, and at the same time, a huge roar sounded from behind, raising a thick cloud of smoke.
They were attacked.
