Gallo originally thought that Wentini would take him to the residence of the tax collector, but instead the carriage went to Linton Street, where the officers of the city defense army lived.
The victim was a lieutenant of the city defense army. The headless corpse was in a kneeling position. The head disappeared, and the surrounding rooms were also well preserved. There were no traces of battle, indicating that this person did not make any resistance and was decapitated. .
It does look a lot like the handwriting of a Skullcrusher.
But Gallo knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Lieutenant Tim, a low-level officer in the city defense army, the kind of good old man, has always had a good reputation among his subordinates, colleagues and neighbors, and has no record of criminal violations..."
"Why did the Skull Crusher attack him? Could it be that the Skull Crusher is in collusion with the cult?"
Wentini asked very puzzled.
Because that's not what I did...
Gallo slandered silently at the side, but his face looked normal, and he was not as angry as he should be after being framed.
Skull Crusher is a legendary task in the city of innocence. There have been several imitators before and after, but these people's methods are very clumsy, and they often leave various obvious clues, and they will soon be punished. Luo didn't need to do anything to clear his grievances.
If it was normal, he might just chime in a few words and not take it to heart, but the situation is a little different today, actually saying that the Skull Crusher is related to a cult? That must be unbearable!
So Gallo took a few steps forward and began to argue:
"Although it looks similar, it should not be the work of the Skull Crusher..."
Wentini on the side nodded again and again, and couldn't wait to echo:
"Yes, yes, I think so too, he is not that kind of person!"
You speak as if you understand me very well, we are not that kind of relationship...
Gallo slandered inwardly, but continued to say:
"Those people who died at the hands of the Skull Crusher only had their heads blown off, but their necks are still intact, and they can still find skulls and brains around them..."
"But the dead man in front of him has only one-third of his neck left, and it looks like it was cut off by a sharp weapon..."
After Jia Luo finished speaking, he walked up to the headless corpse and pointed to the neck. There was a bloody mess there, and he couldn't bear to look directly at it.
The surrounding magistrates suppressed their nausea and took a closer look, only to find that it was really the same as Gallo's description.
Those sheriffs who have cooperated with Gallo several times and are already quite familiar with it immediately praised:
"Pastor Gallo's observation skills are really sharp!"
"Sure enough, it's much more reliable than the priests of the Divine Light Sect!"
"Our lieutenant really found a treasure!"
Gallo smiled modestly, and continued:
"In addition, there are other doubts. When you look at this corpse carefully, do you think that his posture is very stiff? It's not natural at all? Let's recall the Skull Crusher's handwriting..."
Reminded by him, the magistrates quickly observed and recalled carefully, and found that it was still the same as what Gallo said.
The people who died at the hands of the Skull Crusher had a very natural kneeling posture, obviously kneeling before they died.
But the posture of the corpse in front of him was much stiffer, as if it had been forced into this posture after death.
"In addition to the above two points, there is one last point, but it's just my personal guess..."
Gallo raised three fingers and continued:
"The previous crimes committed by the Skull Crusher have nothing to do with cults or sorcery. This is something I have confirmed several times..."
"But didn't the case say it was related to cultists? Traces of sorcery were found at the scene?"
"Even against those who are distinguished and protected by bodyguards, the Skull Crusher did not use magic, so there is no need for him to use magic on an ordinary officer, right?"
The surrounding magistrates couldn't help but nodded, approving Gallo's conjecture.
Wentini smiled even more, and was greatly relieved, muttering in a low voice:
"I knew that he wasn't that kind of person, he wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he wouldn't collude with cults..."
As she spoke, her pretty face was involuntarily stained with a blush, and her legs in black stockings were also crossed and rubbed slightly.
Seeing that the magistrates believed his words, Gallo was relieved a lot. Then he looked around and asked:
"Is the priest of the Shenguang sect there? What did he say? Did you find anything?"
A security officer next to him quickly explained:
"He found traces of sorcery at the scene, determined that it was the work of cultists, and then left in a hurry..."
"He claimed that he was going to visit the Primordial Chaos Cult, thinking that this matter was related to the previous attack on the bishop."
"The attack on the bishop?"
Gallo was taken aback for a moment. He read the newspaper every day to learn about all kinds of news, but he hadn't heard of this one.
"It's about the day you went to the interview."
Wentini, who came back to his senses, explained:
"A bishop who was a judge that day suddenly ran naked at night and caused a lot of trouble. In the end, the city defense army was used to catch him..."
"After he woke up, he claimed to have been attacked by some kind of weird magic."
Only then did Gallo remember the news. At that time, he was still lamenting that the world was cold and the people were not old-fashioned. Unexpectedly, it was also related to a cult
These cultists are really rampant! Even bishop-level figures dare to attack!
I don't know if the Bishop of Misseran will also be attacked. She is so stupid, it will be very dangerous if she is attacked, right
Jia Luo couldn't help but feel worried for Misseran. If something unexpected happens to her, where will she find such a generous guest in the future
No one could have imagined that the reason why the bishop ran naked was because he wanted to steal Gallo's magic, but something went wrong...
Of course, it is impossible for him to admit such a shameful thing, so he can only conceal the truth and blame the cultists.
Anyway, no one will come to help the cult clear its grievances.
"It seems that this group of cults have been premeditated for a long time."
Gallo sighed with emotion, and then asked curiously:
"What about the other cases?"
"Let someone else be in charge. I heard that the case on Qingshui Avenue is a bit different. It is where you reported two dead people. One of them has been confirmed as a cult member..."
"Perhaps we can find more clues over there? But we are in charge there, and Lieutenant Colonel Jerry is directly in charge."
Wentini finished speaking, and took Gallo to visit the surrounding neighborhoods to complete the booking process.
After some tossing, Gallo returned to the room of the deceased. The corpse had already been carried away, and he only needed to perform a condolence ceremony to finish the job.
The poses I learned from Misseran were only practiced secretly before, but I can finally use them today...
Let you see the real technology!
Gallo groaned and began to cast magic.
