Chapter 62: The Dead Pharmacist

The Dead Pharmacist

Lord Mo Qiusi, the first-level judge of the Grand Court of Judgment, is missing.

To be precise, it can't be called missing, it's just that after this lord went out to investigate the case alone, he didn't come back all night.

The people of the Law Enforcement Bureau were more anxious, because they not only received the report that five more residents died in Yongzhan Town, but also found that the sinner in the prison had escaped!

Even the secret agent of the Grand Court of Judgment who came to visit the prison yesterday had never been seen again.

The law enforcement officers were like ants on a hot pot, constantly asking to see the judges who traveled with Mo Qiusi, but the judges had no way.

Because the last order the lord gave them was to wait for him to return at the Law Enforcement Bureau.

This time point is really too awkward.

If you say the person disappeared, it's just that he didn't appear for one night.

Ordinary people still have times when they high outside all night, not to mention a judge investigating a case.

Of course, this is not saying that Lord Mo Qiusi went out to high, it's just that investigating a case requires more time.

But if you say the person didn't disappear, past cases seem to have never been investigated for such a long time.

Generally speaking, the moment you encounter a suspect, needless to say, investigating the case, judgment and execution might have ended.

In short, Mo Qiusi's disappearance and the decree he left behind made everyone fall into a quagmire, anxious and difficult to endure.

The town was once again shrouded in the fear of the murderer escaping and retaliating by killing.

Until the middle of the fourth night, when the five corpses moved back to the file room woke up inexplicably from the file room, the frightened law enforcement officers tortured them, and everyone knew that the death of the five people was a prank.

Good news: no murder case occurred!

Bad news: Lord Mo Qiusi is indeed missing.

Since there is no case to investigate, where did this lord go?

The judges are from the Grand Court of Judgment after all, can hold their breath, and firmly believe that Lord Mo Qiusi must have something to do and can't get away, so just wait.

Besides, in this place of Yongzhan Town, no one can threaten the lord's safety.

But when the staff of the Law Enforcement Bureau found that 【When Fear Arrives】 also disappeared, and only two strange corpses were left in the seal room, the judges couldn't sit still.

Yongzhan Town was in chaos again.

It was also at this time, on the morning of the fifth day when all officials hadn't slept all night, the five drunkards who almost scared the Law Enforcement Bureau were released from the bureau in the name of innocence.

They were covered in scars, obviously suffering from heavy punishment.

But on their faces, there was no anger at all, but a kind of refreshing satisfaction.

"Hahahaha, this group of fools, we deceived everyone!"

"No matter how heavy the whipping is, it can't cover up the fear in their hearts; did you see, Director Weiji's face turned green, and the most important thing is that we are innocent, and they can't do anything to us!"

"Cool!"

"I didn't expect this medicine effect to be so powerful; where is that pharmacist, who knows where he is?"

"He seems to live in the inn?"

The five people stopped, looked at each other meaningfully, and then ran to the inn.

Obviously, there is no greater fun than five more pills.

As long as there is "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death", the entire Yongzhan Town will be their playground.

However, when the five drunkards asked around and finally came to the room where the pharmacist was, a thin inn waiter walked out of the room.

As soon as he came out and saw five big men surrounding the door, their eyes still flashing with excitement, he was startled.

Instinctively hugged his hands and feet and leaned against the door frame, shivering.

"Hey, tell me, where is the person inside?"

"Is the pharmacist inside? Where did he go?"

"Are you here to clean the room? Did you see anything? Is there a medicine called 'Drunken Life, Dreamy Death' inside?"

"Forget it, get out of the way, let's go in and find it!"

Just when several people were about to go in, the waiter suddenly cried out "wow".

"It's not me, it's not me, woo woo woo woo, as soon as I went in, he was like that, it's really not me!"

Several big men were startled by the sudden crying, but they skipped the waiter and pushed the door to go in.

When they entered the room, they found a charred corpse lying in front of the bed.

The fragments of clothes on the charred corpse that were not burned showed that he seemed to be the pharmacist who sold them 'Drunken Life, Dreamy Death' the night before yesterday.

The drunkards were stunned on the spot, dumbfounded.

"What... what's the situation?"

"Dead? Hey buddy, did you do it?"

"You killed the pharmacist, how did you kill him, what did you use to kill him, praise 【Prosperity】, hand over the method of killing, I won't expose you."

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and find if there is any medicine left!"

"Woo woo woo, it's not me, I was going to come in to clean, and suddenly found his corpse, I was scared, I didn't dare to make a sound... woo woo woo."

Several big men tossed in the room for a long time, didn't find any finished medicine, but the medicine bottles and materials used for testing were scattered all over the floor, and many reacted under the ruins of the charred bed, generating a pile of colorful things.

"Hiss—finished, the medicine is gone."

"Hey, someone really died, report to the Law Enforcement Bureau?"

"Report, why not report, since someone really died, it's better than our fake death, isn't this news coming, brothers!?"

"Report, hurry up and report, buddy, go call the law enforcement officers, just say the escaped killer committed murder at the inn again, and he who was reborn from the fire has started his revenge journey!"

Hearing that this corpse was the result of the escaped real culprit's revenge, the waiter was even more afraid; his legs softened and he collapsed at the door.

"Woo woo woo, don't kill me, it has nothing to do with me."

"Useless, I'll go myself!"

"..."

Don't say, when fun-seekers are looking for fun, the execution is really high.

Not long after, the law enforcement officers surrounded the inn again, and this time, two judges came together.

As soon as the two judges entered the room, they smelled a heavy medicinal smell; they wrinkled their noses and carefully searched the whole room.

The table was piled with some trivial alchemy notes, the handwriting on it was crooked, like worms crawling, obviously the owner of the notes had not received any formal education.

The remaining pages of the paper also had scribbled records such as "dream", "death", "improvement", etc., all of which proved that the deceased had been improving medicine before his death.

In front of the bed, it was almost all fragments of bottles and cans, and various common alchemy reactions seemed to be visible in the wreckage of the bed, probably caused by the explosion shattering the materials.

The corpse was charred and unrecognizable; not only that, but the aura that was incompatible with 【Order】 was surging on his body.

It seems to be a pharmacist who believes in wild gods.

They pondered for a while and reached the same conclusion as the Law Enforcement Bureau:

A pharmacist who believed in evil gods and was addicted to alchemy had an accident when preparing medicine with 【Death】 divinity, and dedicated himself to 【Death】.

It was not the escaped murderer who committed the crime, because there was almost no aura of 【Corruption】 and any residual fear emotion here.

But this matter was still big news in Yongzhan Town, because people didn't often die here, especially accidental death, which was rare in a hundred years.

The judges interrogated the reporter, visited the travelers living nearby, and after careful deduction, finally finalized the report content:

"This person used an excessive amount of 【Death】 divinity of unknown and uncontrollable origin, and under the coercion of the will of 【Death】, he failed to receive the protection of 【Prosperity】 and ate his own bitter fruit."

The case was quickly solved, and both the travelers at the inn and the law enforcement officers breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it was not the murderer committing the crime again, as long as there was no panic in Yongzhan Town, Lord Mo Qiusi's temporary disappearance was not unacceptable.

The judges walked away calmly, leaving the staff to do the finishing work in the inn.

"You, yes, it's you, you discovered the scene? What's your name? Need to go back to the bureau with us to make a record."

"I... my name is Ke Ta Luo, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with me, right?"

"Look at your timid appearance, if it had anything to do with you, you would have run away long ago hahahaha, rest assured, just make a simple record, the case is closed."

"Woo woo woo that's good, I'll go with you."

"Well, come on, the time of death is probably last night, did you hear any sound?"

"Well, when patrolling before dawn, I did hear a muffled sound, but the sound was not loud, so I didn't care... you know, the privacy of guests is more important."

"You did the right thing, if you had gone to take a look, there might be more than one corpse in the room, it's really a madman, actually daring to drug even 【Divinity】..."

Watching the waiter leave with the law enforcement officers, several drunkards touched their heads, sighing and disappointed to the extreme.

"It's a pity, such good medicine..."

The accidental episode just played was cut off, panic raised its head again but was quickly pressed down.

The chaotic Law Enforcement Bureau and Yongzhan Town, which had been glanced at by 【Death】, were still busy looking for the escaped real culprit and the missing Lord Mo Qiusi.

But all this had nothing to do with the waiter who discovered the corpse.

The sky was about to get dark.

Ke Ta Luo walked out of the Law Enforcement Bureau slowly, stood at the door and looked back at the high-rise building that was brightly lit and busy, and a playful arc hooked on his mouth.

He didn't know who he waved to, and tilted his head to salute.

"Goodbye, cute people."

Then he pulled his hood to cover his eyes, walked into the darkness and merged into the night, disappearing.
