266 Truth(1/2)
Judging from the behavior of Butler Mike, he doesn't look like a murderer in any case.
Even from the beginning, Hancock had no doubts about this man.
But as a detective, after eliminating all possibilities, the final answer, no matter how absurd, will be the answer closest to the truth.
Hancock didn't know that his theory coincided with that of a certain Death student.
But after he discovered the murderer, he did not rush forward and point his finger, shouting that there is only one truth, you are the murderer!
You must know that the deceased Mrs. Slater was an intermediate supernatural being, and that Ms. Alita also had the strength of a junior supernatural being.
Butler Mc can kill these two ladies quietly, which is definitely not something that an apprentice-level soft-footed shrimp like Hancock can deal with.
Therefore, after getting the result, Hancock prepared non-stop to return to the Knights and report to Rudy.
However, just as Hancock was riding in a carriage, he kept urging the coachman to speed up and rush back to the Knights.
But he suddenly felt that the temperature in the carriage compartment dropped suddenly, as if it had entered the middle of winter, or as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar.
"Not good!" Hancock reacted very quickly. Although he was not strong enough, his mind was very clear. When he noticed that the situation was abnormal, he immediately knocked on the door and tried to rush out of the carriage.
However, with a bang, Hancock hit the carriage door with all his strength, but it seemed as if he had hit a wall, and half of his body was numb.
At the same time, a sinister sneer came: "Mr. Hancock, I advise you to save a little effort. With your strength, it is impossible to break through the barrier I have set up."
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Hancock swallowed with an ugly expression.
"You are a smart man, don't you know who I am?" With a sneer, a figure wearing a black tuxedo appeared in the carriage. He had chestnut curly hair, a smile and a polite face. It was that person.
A Mike butler.
"You~" Hancock had actually guessed it was him, but actually facing this person still made his hair stand on end.
It feels like the person sitting in front of you is not a person, but a terrifying devil from the abyss!
"What a pity. You didn't have to die originally." Butler Mike was still smiling, but his eyes had turned into golden snake pupils: "Just like Alita, I didn't want to kill her. She is a lovely woman.
, she also gave birth to my heir, but it’s a pity that she was so stupid that she actually wanted to threaten me.”
Hancock's face was pale, and even though the surrounding temperature was very low, sweat was still rolling down his head in large drops.
His brain was spinning rapidly, but he could never find an opportunity to escape. Faced with the huge disparity in strength, he had no choice at all.
"Oh? Are you scared now? It's a pity it's too late." Butler Mike said jokingly, and dark lines of black appeared on his face, forming looming magic runes.
If Rudy were here, he would immediately recognize the Hermes Rune.
And with the appearance of the Hermes rune, Butler Mike's aura became more powerful, and the magic power containing the aura of the devil continued to pour out from his body.
"Hahaha, what a pity, smart people always die early." Butler Mike smiled and stared at Hancock, who had become his meal.
"Who...are you?" Hancock knew that he would definitely die, but gradually calmed down.
Moreover, he discovered that Butler Mike didn't seem to have the intention to kill him immediately. He didn't know if it was because of the villain's natural attributes that he insisted on chatting with him there.
Hancock thought to himself, if it were him, and he would take action now, wouldn't it be wrong for him to talk nonsense after killing the person and then talk about it slowly?
If you insist on grinding and grinding here, doesn't this give the enemy a chance to make a comeback?
Don’t you know the allusion that villains die from talking too much?
Hancock swallowed hard, but he was very lucky to meet such a talkative person.
"Haha, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Angola, and I come from the tenth level of the abyss." Mike, the butler, actually reported his real name and his origin.
Although Hancock didn't understand what the so-called tenth level of the abyss actually represented, it at least sounded very powerful.
"You really can't let me live? I can help you." Hancock asked tentatively, hoping to delay more time: "You are lurking in the world, you must have a special mission, I have now obtained the knight
The trust of the Order. You should know the rights of the Knights. To you, my life is more valuable than my death."
Butler Mike frowned, seeming to be thinking about Hancock's proposal.
No doubt, it made him a little excited.
After killing Alita, while hiding the body, she was accidentally discovered by the hostess of the villa, Mrs. Slater.
In order to cover it up, Butler Mc had no choice but to do everything he could and killed Mrs. Slater as well.
However, he did not expect that Mrs. Slater was so good at pretending that even after working as a housekeeper in the villa for three years, he did not realize that Mrs. Slater was actually a Holy Light Sister!
Caught off guard, although he killed Mrs. Slater, he was also severely injured by the Holy Light. He could not even hide the body in the mezzanine of the wall like Alita did. He could just throw it into the lake hastily.
He hid himself to recover from his injuries.
Butler Mike originally thought that the body would not be discovered for a while after being thrown into the lake, but he did not expect that it was pushed back to the shore by the undercurrent of the lake. The incident happened only the next day.
As for what Hancock had discovered before, there were signs of toxin residues in Mrs. Slater's body.
This led to the conclusion that Mrs. Slater might have been poisoned, but it was because he did not know that Mrs. Slater was secretly poisoning because she had been lurking for many years and was under great psychological pressure.
It was just that as a nun of the Holy Light, she would baptize with the Holy Light after each high to eliminate toxin residues. Over time, Hancock made a misjudgment.
But those are not important anymore. With the appearance of Butler Mike, everything has been revealed.
Hancock's mind ran through the clues, and he already had a complete context for the entire case.
A greedy and stupid woman tried to make a deal with the devil, and even got pregnant and gave birth to devil children as a bargaining chip.
But she misjudged the devil's cruelty and ruthlessness, and the abyss devil disguised as Butler Mike almost chose to kill her without hesitation.
But he was discovered by Mrs. Slater and had to continue killing people to silence him...
On the contrary, Viscount Slater and his wife, as well as Baron Winduo, were more unlucky, and were unexpectedly implicated in their respective secrets.
And these secrets turned into a smokescreen for this case.
If all these factors are stripped out, the whole case becomes very simple and clear.
But for Hancock, it doesn't seem to make much sense to figure this out now.
No matter how talkative Butler Mike is, there is always a time when he has finished talking.
"Okay, that's it." Butler Mike showed a malicious smile on his face and suddenly ended the conversation.
Although Hancock's proposal just now made him a little tempted, in the end he still chose to kill the other party. There was no reason and it all depended on his mood.
After he finished speaking, Butler Mike raised his hand and grabbed Hancock unhurriedly.
Hancock's heart sank. He wanted to struggle and scream, but found that he was completely unable to move in the face of a desperate situation!
His eyes widened and he kept opening and closing his jaw, but he couldn't make a sound.
A feeling of despair arose in Hancock's heart: "Is this the end of it for me? No~ I'm not willing to give in. I've just started to counterattack. I want to be a master, and I want to make those who look down on me
Everyone regrets it!"
Hancock's mind was filled with confusion, and his eyes were wide open, almost to the point of cracking his canthus.
However, it's no use!
He could still only watch helplessly as the palm wrapped with a wisp of black energy touched his chest.
Hancock knew that as long as this palm touched him, he would definitely die.
"No……"
Suddenly, Hancock seemed to have exceeded his limit, broke free from the shackles, and let out a scream!
Butler Mike was stunned. He had never expected that such a change would occur at a critical moment.
Hancock was also surprised. His eyes lit up and he was shocked. Could it be that he was the protagonist of destiny? At a critical moment, he broke through his own limits? Could it be that he was a genius in the first place, and he was a weakling before just because he was sealed?
strength?
For a moment, Hancock's middle school soul burned brightly.
He was waiting for the powerful magic power to burst out from his body.
However, in the end, Hancock did not wait for his magic power to skyrocket. He was still a weak apprentice-level transcendent.
Only a black ball of light slightly larger than a fist appeared next to him.
It was this ball of light that tore apart the magic barrier attached to the carriage from the outside, causing him to break free and let out a scream.
Hancock reacted suddenly, quickly opened the door and rushed out of the carriage.
The magic barrier was broken, and Hancock broke through the dullness easily, causing Butler Mike to come to his senses and subconsciously reach out to grab it.
But he met the black ball of light.
With a bang, the palm wrapped with black magic power collided with the same black ball of light.
Butler Mike exclaimed, as if he had caught the burning flame, and suddenly retracted his hand.
The magic power originating from the abyss that was originally wrapped around his hand almost collapsed!
Butler Mike felt that in that black ball of light, there was a power that frightened him.
At the same time, the black ball of light was also knocked out, punching another hole in the carriage compartment.
This time, the magic barrier attached to the carriage was lost. Once again, it was touched by the black ball of light. The carriage quickly crumbled into powder, forming a large hole.
Butler Mike's face was ashen as he came out of the dilapidated carriage and looked towards the direction where the black ball of light came from.
