Captulo 1513: Chapter 29: Revenge!
The body of the ‘Freedom Army’ leader had long been taken away and properly settled.
The scene was heavily guarded.
With Andek’s guidance, Jason and his companions entered a room on the first floor of the ‘Jing’ building.
"Not the top floor?”
Lauren Delder was quite surprised.
"Standing too high will only make you look down on others, making you arrogant without realizing it. We should stand on the sa level as everyone else, to truly experience their joys and sorrows, and know how to help them—this is what the leader always said, and this is what he did.”
Andek said so.
Lauren Delder’s eyes widened, filled with incredulity.
To Lauren Delder, such a philosophy was a bit unbelievable.
The life in the Lower City District of the ‘Nightless City’ Ring City had long accustod him to selfishness and the ‘law of the jungle’.
Suddenly facing another fact, only shock remained.
Not void.
Not empty rhetoric.
But fact.
Only facts can truly move people.
Can make one feel a different kind of shock.
"I thought the ‘Freedom Army’ was no different from other forces, just different slogans.”
Lauren Delder seed to recognize the ‘Freedom Army’ for the first ti.
"So things, unless experienced in person, will never reveal their differences.”
The ‘old man’ sighed.
The gaze began to sweep the entire scene.
The room was simply furnished.
A chair, a table, with a lamp on the table.
Besides these, there was nothing else.
Only the corner showed signs of burning.
Jason carefully walked within this room, with [Death Perception] enabled early on.
The densest area was the chair.
The deceased ‘Freedom Army’ leader must have stayed there for a long ti.
The rest were just stains.
The people around all had such stains.
But it wasn’t direct, it was from touching when moving the body.
At least it was confird that the true perpetrator was not among these people.
This made Jason let out a sigh of relief.
He had been most worried about finding traces on those around him that shouldn’t be there.
Especially the ‘Freedom Army’ deputy leader.
The situation of a thief catching a thief was too common.
But it was different here.
This was temporarily the base of the ‘Freedom Army’.
If Andek was involved, it would be troubleso.
For Jason, it didn’t matter.
Just fight in and out seven tis.
But the ‘old man’ couldn’t.
Fortunately, it wasn’t the worst scenario.
After letting out a small sigh of relief, Jason looked at the burn marks.
This was in a corner of the room, so object must have burned fiercely, blackening the white walls and clean floor.
"Was this place cleaned?”
Jason asked Andek, frowning.
He had examined it closely.
It was too clean here.
There wasn’t a trace of ash from the burn.
Only by cleaning thoroughly could it be like this.
"No, it wasn’t us.”
"It should be that bastard Euler.”
"What a bastard.”
Andek said angrily.
It wasn’t resentnt, but that kind of heartache an elder feels for the younger.
A feeling of disappointnt over his underachievent.
Jason nodded, having a preliminary guess in his mind.
Completely erasing the traces?
Leaving no clues at all.
"How did the leader die?”
Jason continued to ask, already having a rough guess in his mind.
After all, there were no bloodstains at the scene, nor signs of a violent struggle.
Especially the forr, cleaning bloodstains is no simple task.
Even if invisible to the naked eye, so instrunts and chemicals can detect it.
Moreover, Euler had ‘turned himself in’, so it wasn’t possible to use those ans.
If you’re going to ‘turn yourself in’, hiding the cri in this way would be redundant.
But precisely because of this, what was burned becos all the more important.
Jason silently morized it.
And then waited for Andek’s answer.
"It was poison.”
Andek replied.
This answer basically confird Jason’s earlier guess.
In the absence of bloodstains and signs of a violent struggle, poisoning was the most consistent.
However, in the present environnt, the effect of poison was minimized.
It’s not that poison can’t kill.
Poison can still kill.
Even a lot of people.
But, these people should not include the ‘Freedom Army’ leader.
If the other party could be dealt with using poison, ‘Jing’ wouldn’t have missed such a thod.
Jason didn’t speak, but Andek saw what Jason was thinking.
"Lag wouldn’t be poisoned.”
"He has a transcendent intuition for ‘danger’—the crises close to annihilation were avoided relying on Lag’s transcendent intuition.”
"Moreover, the ‘Extraordinary Power’ he possesses makes his body as tough as diamonds, even if he drank poison, he’d have enough ti to save himself, at least pressing the alarm is possible.” ȒἁＮȫ𝖇Ěȿ
"But from beginning to end, there was nothing.”
"When the door opened, Euler ca out, Lag’s body was reclining on the chair, his expression… peaceful.”
When Andek said this, he unconsciously bit his cigar, an unusually grave expression on his face.
Undoubtedly, this ‘Freedom Army’ deputy was already having so suspicions.
But,
Unable to say it out loud.
"I want to et Euler.”
Jason said.
