"Captain, this coffin, well, its function is to prevent the dead inside from becoming zombies or resentful spirits..."

Klein inspected the dark red iron nails on the black coffin, inspected their arrangement, and relied on his fairly good mystic knowledge to recognize that it was an ancient ritual, a ritual to prevent corpse transformation.

At the same time, he murmured in his heart: But, under normal circumstances, who would be wary of the death of their relatives? Uh, the people who help with the burial may not necessarily be relatives... Well, the coffin is placed in the basement instead of the tomb, because it is afraid of being discovered...

At this time, Dun En, who had put on the sealed item "3-0782", moved closer to the coffin, looked carefully for a while and said, "The deceased should have died of poisoning."

"That is, the person who poisoned and killed him used ritual magic to prevent his corpse from retaliation... This should have happened 1,300 to 400 years ago? He turned into a resentful soul in the end... This idea is simply too much." Amazing!" Klein also walked to the coffin and said, "Where's his head? That ritual doesn't require cutting off the head..."

Dunn thought for a while and said: "I have a guess. This resentful spirit has not always existed, but only recently appeared. It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the town to the castle. The troublemakers of the past must have come here often, but this time Before the incident, there were no rumors of resentful spirits appearing in the castle."

Klein nodded slightly and said, "Captain, what do you mean, someone came here recently, opened the coffin, and took the head of the deceased?"

"Well, that ritual prevented the corpse from turning into a corpse, but it also locked its resentment in the coffin and kept it in a disguised form. When the coffin was opened and the ceremony was lifted, those resentments quickly turned into resentful souls with the help of their own iron gloves... "

"The person who opened the coffin did not leave a body behind. He is not an ordinary person...and what did he do with the head of the deceased?"

Dunn stared at the bone corpse in the coffin and said: "Resentment can last for so long. Apart from the reason of the ceremony, there should be the reason of the deceased himself. He may have been an Extraordinary before he was alive, or belong to at least two of the Extraordinary in the middle sequence. Descendants within a generation, well, I mean the middle sequence, sequence or sequence 5 in the previous definition."

"And such a corpse is always special. His head may, perhaps, be useful in certain ceremonies and certain occasions."

Speaking of this, Dunn paused and said: "What I said before is all conjecture, but part of it can be verified. Let's do a separate investigation in the town later to see who came to the castle when they were young and were treated here. Injured, um, if he is still alive, it proves that the Wraith did appear recently."

"A logical way of thinking." Klein praised, and searched the basement again, but found no other items.

He tried to use ritual magic to describe the "guest" who had entered the basement, but due to the interval of at least a month, and the resentful spirit lingered here for a long time, affecting the environment, no effective results were obtained.

He then replaced Frye for further examination by the cadaver expert.

Fifteen minutes later, when the sun was about to disappear on the horizon, Dunn and Fry returned to the castle hall along the stairs.

The former groped to close the secret door, while the latter briefly described: "It was indeed poisoned and died, and the marks on the neck only appeared in the last three months."

This means that there is a high possibility that someone has been here... Klein nodded in thought.

Next, the three nighthawks rushed back to the small town of Ramud before dark, and booked two rooms in the hotel�the members who got the sealed item "3-0782" needed to take this dangerous item to the town outside the town. A place where people go for a walk and rotate every two hours, so only two guest rooms are needed.

After a simple dinner, Klein, Dunn, and Frye immediately went to various parts of the town to ask the residents who have lived here for a long time.

In similar scenarios, police documents are extremely useful.

...

"Officer, why are you asking about this matter? I remember when I was a child, I often went to that abandoned castle... Injured? There must be, how could the child not fall down, I remember, um, I was injured by the ancient castle. The sharp stones on the outer wall of the castle have been scratched..." A man in his forties with soft yellow hair looked at Klein suspiciously and answered the question honestly.

This was the fourteenth person Klein questioned, and two of them clearly remembered being injured in the castle when they were young.

The captain's conjecture was correct... Klein made a judgment, withdrew his certificate, smiled and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, I have no problem." ..

He was about to leave without a cane. The man in his forties rolled his eyes and said, "Officer, are you interested in that old castle? My house has a portrait of the first Baron of the old castle, which belonged to my grandfather." Grandfather's grandfather...well, it was a long time ago, he took an oil painting from the castle, which is said to be the portrait of the first Baron Ramud."

"Do you want it? This is a real antique!"

If it was a real antique, your family would have sold it long ago... This guy is so courageous that even the police dare to lie to him. Do you want to scare him with a gun later? Klein slandered a few words, and said with the mentality of looking at it without spending money: "Who knows if it is really an antique, I trust my vision and judgment."

"You take it out and let me see."

The middle-aged man with yellow hair immediately put on a smile, returned to the house, and searched for a while. JrNovels.com
