As one of the most notorious curses, heart piercing has killed enough people to circle the city of innocence since its inception.


    The curse is insidious and hidden, and the incubation period is very long. It can last for a month. With time to eliminate its fluctuations, it becomes slightly inaudible, difficult to be detected, and the victim himself can''t feel it; At the same time, it also has some common advantages of curse, such as remote control, it is difficult to trace its source after launch, and so on, which further strengthens its secrecy.


    Among all kinds of curses, its secrecy can definitely rank in the forefront.


    Its only weakness is that its power is a little weak, just causing a cardiac arrest. If the victim is strong or has protective curses, he may survive; If you can get timely treatment after the attack, you also have a chance to save people.


    This is the price of stealth performance


    Therefore, it is obviously impossible to use this curse to deal with big people and strong people. It can be used to deal with ordinary people like George, but it is easy to catch.


    "It''s these evil believers again. Why are they so rampant these days?"


    "If only there were a few more skull breakers in this city..."


    Wendini frowned and said angrily. He turned back to one of his men and asked:


    "I remember the information said that the curse can only be planted after close contact. Can you investigate who the dead contacted recently?"


    "This... Is basically impossible. The deceased was a foreman, with dozens of workers under his hand, and he had to contact many people every day, and the curse had an incubation period of up to one month, which is impossible to find out..."


    The man said very embarrassed.


    The incubation period is so long that it is difficult to find out anything by the investigation of the sheriff.


    Wendini again pinned his hopes on Renault and hurriedly asked:


    "What do you think?"


    Renault thought for a while and suddenly recalled the detail that he almost ignored a few days ago——


    He felt a slight obstacle when he blessed George with magic before


    At that time, he didn''t think much. He thought it was because he hadn''t used these low-level magic skills for too long.


    But in retrospect, it was likely that the magic hit the curse and dispelled it


    In other words, George was cursed earlier. It should have been a long time, so that Renault can''t feel the difference.


    Then it was inadvertently dispersed, the killer planted it again, and finally killed George with a curse


    If it is a curse under a new species, the magic fluctuation has not dispersed so quickly, and the secret effect will not be too excessive. At least Renault is confident that he can detect it, but Renault didn''t notice the difference when he saw George a few nights ago, which shows that the second curse should have been planted last day.


    So as soon as Renault entered the door, he immediately felt something wrong


    In this way, the scope of the investigation can be greatly reduced, and according to the neighbors, George seemed to have gone out yesterday morning and never went out again


    Renault thought to himself, quickly straightened out the logic, quickly said this important discovery, and asked the sheriff to investigate with this clue.


    Wendini''s spirit couldn''t help but cheer up and exclaimed:


    "Although your usual thoughts are sometimes strange, they are still very reliable in terms of human life..."


    "It''s really the right choice to cooperate with you."


    After that, she quickly assigned tasks to her men and asked them to ask George''s workers and neighbors to find out where he went yesterday.


    Renault watched the sheriff busy. He first performed a soothing magic to send George''s soul to rest.


    This time he didn''t imitate misseran''s technique. He used the simplest soothing divinity instead of all the fancy things.


    George has worshipped the goddess and has planned to join the church. He can be regarded as a quasi believer of the church. He should also follow some teachings and keep a modest and low-key, which is not suitable for such gorgeous pomp.


    With the application of magic, George''s soul appeared out of thin air, looking particularly peaceful


    It''s okay. I''ll send the killer to you soon and let him confess to you


    Renault said to himself.


    In fact, he noticed a detail before, but didn''t tell wendini them.


    The murderer can plant a curse unconsciously. Obviously, he has a clear understanding of its performance. He should also know that the curse just planted will not be so hidden, but he can''t wait to launch


    It is likely that George has discovered some major secret, so that the murderer must kill people quickly.


    If we can''t catch the murderer quickly, he will run away with the secret!


    And I remember George said before that he seemed to have undertaken the work of an archaeologist a month ago?


    Renault continued to think


    Archaeologists have always been one of the favorite disguises of evil believers. They often hire people to secretly dig the tomb of evil gods or build altars in the name of archaeology, and then sacrifice all the workers'' blood afterwards. Similar tragedies have happened many times.


    A month is just right for the incubation period of the curse.


    He asked wendini for the investigation record and looked at it.


    There is a confession from Deputy George, who mentioned that they had worked for an archaeologist named Sandro before. Because the historic site to be excavated is a little far from the city of innocence, the progress has been very slow. It has not been completed yet, and many people have been dragged there. George is very worried about it.


    Renault has heard of this Sandro. He is also a little famous figure in the city. He often sees his name in the newspaper.


    But I''m afraid his academic attainments are far less than those in social life. I haven''t heard of his great academic achievements. On the contrary, he often attends all kinds of public occasions. It is said that he has very close personal friends with many big people in private


    It''s hard for a little Sheriff like wendini to investigate this relationship. George is just a little person. No one cares about his life except Renault


    So this kind of thing should be left to the skull breaker!


    Renault said to himself that he did not mention it to wendini.


    When the routine work here was over, wendini hurriedly took people to continue the investigation, while Renault went back to the church alone and told the old bishop about the matter.


    After listening silently, the old bishop habitually took out his divination tools, but quickly reminded him:


    "How does the other party say that he is also a person with a head and a face? Is there anything wrong with you going so directly?"


    "Don''t worry, am I the kind of person who doesn''t know the importance?"


    Renault said boldly.
