Chapter 2647 Murder

Dumbledore knew that Jia Zhengjin was the leader of the Holy Spirit Adventure Group, and Meili and Tatanil were the deputy leaders.

Although he did not attach much importance to them, the Holy Spirit Adventure Group was a force worth winning over. There were many masters in the group, and almost all the powerful adventurers from nearby cities gathered here.

So after paying the bounty, he did not let them leave. Instead, he took Jia Zhengjin's hand and smiled: "Captain Cohen, it is rare for you to come! Why don't you stay in the Stone Castle today? I want to host a banquet for you. After a day's journey, you should have a good rest. Besides, if you go back now, it will be late at night when you arrive at Tongshan City. Why bother so much? Regain your energy here, and you will have time to return early tomorrow morning!"

Jia Zhengjin did not mind traveling at night, but turned around and found that Meili and Tatanil were taken away by Britney. The three women were talking and laughing, and they could not leave their teammates behind. He nodded immediately: "In that case, I will bother you tonight!"

"Haha~ It's my honor that Captain Cohen can stay overnight!" Dumbledore said with a smile.

So the three of them stayed in the stone fort to rest, and when it was time for dinner, Dumbledore arranged a sumptuous banquet to entertain them.

During the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves while eating and chatting.

However, just when they were halfway through the meal, there was a sudden wailing outside, followed by chaos.

The Dumbledore family who were eating, as well as the three people who were entertained by Jia Zhengjin, all showed puzzled expressions.

"What's going on?" Dumbledore frowned and stood up, asking loudly, "I'm entertaining guests, who is making trouble? Bring him here!"

After passing the message, a guard from the Baron's Mansion ran in in a panic and knelt down: "Report! Avery is dead!"

"What?" Dumbledore showed an expression of disbelief, "What did you say?"

The guard raised his head, his face full of panic: "Avery who was patrolling outside the east gate is dead!"

"How did he die?"

"Chester and Xia Zuo, who were patrolling with him, reported that Avery wanted to go to the bushes next to him during the patrol, and soon heard screams. When the two went over, they only saw Avery's body, but did not see the perpetrator!" The guard replied, "We are currently trying to search the surrounding area, and we have not found any suspicious people or any dangerous beasts. The cause of Avery's death is unknown!"

Dumbledore looked unhappy,

After all, it was too strange for such a thing to happen suddenly.

"Wait!" Jia Zhengjin asked curiously, "Where did this man get killed while on patrol?"

"East Gate!"

"East Gate? Isn't my shadow leopard outside the East Gate?" Jia Zhengjin said, "With it, wild animals can't get close to this area."

"That's right!" Dumbledore nodded and said, "Unless he was murdered."

Britney was obviously terrified. It was probably the first time in her life that she encountered such a terrible thing, and it happened just outside the stone fortress.

"Captain Cohen, I'm so sorry! This happened when I invited you three to be my guests. Britney, you continue to eat with Captain Cohen, I'll go out and take a look." Dumbledore turned around and told his daughter.

Jia Zhengjin stood up: "How can you eat in peace when encountering such a thing? I'll go out with you to take a look!"

"Let's go too!!" Meili and Tatanil stood up at the same time.

"You two stay to protect Miss Britney." Jia Zhengjin turned around and said, "It is not certain who the murderer is, and we don't know the other party's purpose. Let's wait until the investigation is clear."

"That's right!" Dumbledore said immediately, "Please help me keep an eye on Britney, Captain of the Guards!"

"Here!!"

"You also take people to stay here to protect the lady."

"Yes!!"

After giving the order, Dumbledore and Jia Zhengjin came out of the hall at the same time, ran all the way to the east gate, and came outside under the guards, and soon arrived at the scene of the accident.

In a blood-stained bush, there was indeed a body of a guard with his pants not properly put on, and there was a smell of urine in the air.

Seeing this situation, Dumbledore frowned slightly and pinched his nose with his hand.

Jia Zhengjin didn't care so much and went straight forward to check the body.

"Report to the Baron!" Chester and Xia Zuo, who were in the same team as the deceased, ran over. "I don't know who attacked and killed Avery. There was no clue left at the scene when we arrived!"

"Report to the Baron, we have sent people to search the carpet, and there is no clue at present!"

"Report to the Baron, there are no suspicious people nearby..."

The guards were busy. After all, death is not a trivial matter.

It has been hundreds of years since the establishment of the Stone Castle, and this is the first time such a vicious murder has occurred.

"Search the whole mountain for me, and you must find the murderer!" Dumbledore said angrily, "Dare to commit a crime in my territory, it is simply bold!"

"Yes!!" The guards received the order and went to search around again.

Jia Zhengjin has been squatting beside the corpse, silent.

After Dumbledore gave the order, he turned around and saw this scene. He pinched his nose and asked, "Captain Cohen, have you found any clues?"

"One thing!" Jia Zhengjin pointed at the back of the deceased Avery, "Look, this wound is very large, and it doesn't look like it was stabbed by a sharp weapon. The deceased's blood is green, indicating that there is poison. Moreover, he was lying on the ground, and this position is exactly the heart. I suspect that this person's heart has been lost!"

"What?!" Hearing this, Dumbledore was shocked, "The heart is lost? No matter how cruel the killer is, he won't take the heart away, right?"

"So I think the murderer is not human, Jia Zhengjin said, "nor is it a beast, after all, the momentum of the shadow leopard covers this place..."

"Neither human nor beast?" Dumbledore showed a puzzled expression, "What is it?"

Jia Zhengjin lowered his head and pondered: "In my opinion, this blood is mixed with corpse poison. It is not afraid of the pressure of the shadow leopard and took out the heart. I didn't expect it to be related to undead creatures!"

"Undead creatures?!" Dumbledore was even more surprised, "It is impossible for undead creatures to appear around the stone castle. Besides, it is broad daylight now..."

"That's why I find it strange!" Jia Zhengjin looked at him, "Generally speaking, undead creatures hunt at night. Only extremely high-level creatures or undead creatures controlled by special magic will appear during the day. Although the sun has set now, it is not dark. The one who killed this guard is either some dangerous high-level undead creature, or a special undead creature that is completely controlled by people. No matter from which angle, it is very dangerous! "

"Captain Coin actually has such insight, which is really admirable!" Dumbledore asked in confusion, "But as we all know, undead creatures move very slowly and can't run so fast..."

"It escaped directly underground. It's useless to look for it randomly!" Jia Zhengjin stood up, "In my opinion, the guy is in the nearby mountains and forests, hidden under the land."
