Dawn of the Ash Tower

.,

The reason for emphasizing that the corpses belong to humans is because the cheese actually thought that the black-haired corpses of ratmen or infected people would be found here, but the corpses found in the last room came from three serious people. of humans.This is something worth pondering.Unscrupulously lit the candles in the room, since there was no one else in the building, those unnecessary cautions could be put aside for the time being.The mage looked at the bodies of these three people. Their coats were stripped off, and they were taken away together with their belongings. Only a layer of close-fitting clothing was left on their bodies. The heads of the three corpses were all covered with black cloth bags. It stands to reason that the cloth bags were put on other people's heads because they did not want that person to remember their own faces.But judging from the results, the person negotiating with these three people had already killed them, so why did they do this?

Since there was nothing on the corpses to identify their identities, we had no choice but to check the cause of their death. The mage took off the clothes of the three without saying a word, and it can be seen that two of them had obvious traumatic wounds , There is a long and narrow bloodstain on their chests facing the heart, and the dried blood starts from this gap and spreads to their chests.

"Pierce the heart with a sword from the front." Leon said when he saw the two wounds.

The mage nodded. The knight commander is undoubtedly an expert in this aspect. Since he has judged the origin of the wound, it is probably like this.What really puzzled Cheese was the third corpse. There was no trace of trauma on this corpse. So, what was the cause of his death?

"Will the wound be on the head, you know, like a blunt instrument or something." Elsa expressed her opinion on this.

Cheese then untied the cloth bags on the heads of the three people, but things didn't seem to be as the proprietress guessed. The facial expressions of the three people were relatively normal, and none of their heads had obvious wounds.However, when the cheese took off the third person's cloth bag, Leon looked at the third person's face and widened his eyes for a moment.

"Baron Gray!" The knight commander pointed at the third face.

Elsa hurriedly brought the candle a few steps closer to the face of the corpse and asked.

"Are you sure? This is the Lord Gray of the Pharmacists' Guild?"

The knight commander stared at that face carefully for a while, and finally nodded heavily.

"Yes, I can guarantee that this person is Baron Gray."

Hearing this, cheese couldn't help frowning.Why did Baron Gray's body appear here, or how did Baron Gray, who was in charge of the pharmacist in Zhuoliu Town, die?Originally, it was reasonable for Leon to be mutinied by his subordinates. Perhaps there was a deep grudge between Leon and that Gregory, but the latter found a chance to explode during this mission.But now the death of Baron Gray has made the situation in Zhuoliu Town more confusing. As the leader of the Pharmacists Association in Zhuoliu Town, no matter what the reason is, he should not die here.

This night, there were too many unexplainable problems in this small town, the heavily guarded two-story building, the pharmacist association resident who was deserted and ransacked, and the man who died in his resident Baron Gray, the mage's brain has become a little knotted. He can easily decipher the law of virus mutation, but these man-made puzzles are not his strong point.Apart from the reserve of knowledge, if you use logic to think about what happened here, what cheese can do is basically the same as an ordinary person with clear thinking.

Speaking of it, although the cheese and the others left the two-story building and came here, they stunned the guards and entered the pharmacist's garrison, and finally found the bodies of Baron Gray and the other two.All this seems to be very long, but it actually happened within an hour. The discovery of a large amount of information in a short period of time made it difficult to breathe. Cheese felt as if an invisible hand was gradually strangling his throat.Everything that happens here smacks of conspiracy.Now it seems that it was indeed a wrong decision to set this place as the first goal at that time.

"Did you...have you noticed something weird about these two corpses?" Just as the mage and the knight commander were still considering the meaning of Baron Gray's corpse, the proprietress pointed to the other two corpses and said.

"What did you find?" Cheese asked, he didn't see anything wrong with the two corpses that had been stripped of their clothes.

"Wounds! There's something wrong with their wounds!" Elsa said, pointing to the two wounds.

"Didn't Leon already believe that it was caused by a sword piercing the heart from the front?" The mage still didn't understand what the proprietress meant.On this point, the blood lion actually didn't keep up with Elsa's thinking. The two looked at the proprietress inexplicably, not understanding what she was referring to.

"The wounds on their bodies are fine, but there is something wrong with the wounds on their clothes!"

"What's wrong with the wounds on their clothes, there are no wounds on their clothes at all..." Speaking of this, Cheese was stunned.That's right, the reason why the clothes of these two people were taken off before was because the wounds could not be seen from the clothes.But they obviously died from sword wounds, so how could there be no holes in their clothes?

The mage hurriedly picked up the jackets of the two men and inspected them carefully, but the result was that there were no signs of damage on the two clothes, not even...not even blood.how can that be?

"There are two possibilities." Leon was also aware of this problem. As the knight commander, he quickly put forward his hypothesis.

"The first possibility is that the person who killed them did it while their upper body was naked." Although Xueshi said so, judging from his expression, he himself didn't believe this statement. Circumstances like this happen.

"As for the other possibility...the killers changed their clothes after the killing, and for some unknown purpose put them on the current clothes after the corpses had completely cooled down. But this doesn't make sense, If so, why would the murderer change the clothes of the murdered?"

"Could it be...those people wanted to get those clothes?" Elsa whispered.

"There is a possibility, but in that case, why put new clothes on them? There are also cloth bags on the head. These cover-ups may be able to hide the body for a while when the body is found tomorrow, but soon It will also be pierced." Leon said.

Cheese thought for a moment and said.

"Is it possible that those who did this only need to delay this time, or that they actually delay this time is only a backup plan, because they will not let people have the opportunity to confirm the identity of these three bodies at all? "

Cold sweat ran down the necks of the three of them. There is no doubt that what the mage said unintentionally was the most likely scenario.If those murderers want to destroy the corpse as soon as possible, then they don't need to take pains to cover up the abnormalities on the corpse. These small tricks are just tricks they use to delay time.But if this assumption is true, then the time for them to destroy the corpse must be before dawn tomorrow...

"You guys, do you smell something burnt?" asked Elsa, who had the most sensitive sense of smell.

Following what the proprietress said, a smell of burning charcoal was already very obvious in the air. If the three of them hadn't hallucinated together, then the appearance of this smell should only mean that something was burning nearby.The three of them looked at each other, left the three corpses behind, and rushed back to the stairwell.There, they saw tongues of flame rising, and before they were aware of it, the first floor of the building had already quietly burned.
