Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"Look, that looks like a dead body."

When Wildy and his men were walking across the Semme River Bridge, one of the dragoon agents inadvertently noticed what seemed to be a body in the river. This news immediately made everyone alert.

Not long after, the body was fished out. After identification by the dragoons, it was found that the man had been dead for almost two days. His body was swollen due to being soaked in the river water, and his face was covered with bruises. Even his own mother would not be able to recognize him.

"The face was too badly mangled and we couldn't identify his body. Maybe it was a gang revenge."

After the inspection was completed, a dragoon agent reported to Wildy.

As Wildi looked at the unknown male corpse, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. Although he did not know the identity of the corpse for the time being, he seemed to have the answer.

"Lina."

"what happened?"

"Can you please find Lu Ren? She must be able to restore the original appearance of this corpse."

Although the dragon cavalry could not restore the corpse, Wildi believed that Lu Ren could. He knew that Lu Ren was proficient in almost all the magic in the world, so it should not be a difficult task for her to restore the corpse to its original appearance.

"Yes, I'll be there right away."

Faced with Wildi's request, Lina did not dare to neglect it at all, and immediately went to Lu Ren's house alone. At this time, Lu Ren had just got up and was eating breakfast.

"Ah... I guess I need to be more restrained in the future. I feel like my health is getting worse day by day..."

While eating the breakfast that Winnie had carefully prepared for him, Lu Ren seemed a little listless. He had been partying every day and night these days, and now Lu Ren was a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, Lu Ren heard a hurried knock on the door. Without Winnie and the others reporting, Lu Ren knew that someone must be looking for him urgently.

"Who..."

"Lu Ren! Come out quickly! I have something urgent to discuss with you!"

Lu Ren, who was originally bored, couldn't help feeling confused when he heard Lina's voice, but then he felt a sense of trouble.

Lina seemed very anxious, and Lu Ren felt that something bad must have happened. She even wanted to pretend that she was not at home.

"What, what? Why are you in such a hurry..."

But after hesitating for a while, Lu Ren still went to the yard to face Lina. After all, everyone was friends, so he went to see what she wanted first.

"Lord Wildy needs your help now, come with me!"

"What's the matter? Can you explain it to me first?"

When Lina saw Lu Ren, she took Lu Ren's hand and prepared to leave, but Lu Ren stood there motionless. In case there was any trouble, she planned to run away.

"We just found a body, but we can't confirm his identity, so we want you to help us investigate the true identity of the body."

"Huh? This kind of thing... does this matter have anything to do with the hermitage?"

When he heard that they were going to investigate the corpse, Lu Ren kept shaking his head in his heart, but he thought that since the other party came to find him on purpose, maybe he had some relationship with the hermit society?

"It's not clear yet, but Lord Wildy takes this matter very seriously."

"What does he not take seriously?"

Seeing that Lu Ren looked uninterested, Lina knew that Lu Ren definitely didn't want to go, so she thought of the cafe that Wildi had taken her to before, and wanted to see if she could use this to convince Lu Ren.

"You went to a cafe with Master Wildy the other day, right?"

"Ah? This... Listen to me, we just had a cup of coffee, we didn't do anything else!"

When Lu Ren heard Lina mention this, she suddenly became nervous. She thought Lina was overthinking it, so she quickly shook her head to explain, but Lina's focus was not on this.

"What are you thinking about? I mean, the owner of that cafe seems to have disappeared. Before he disappeared, he came to look for Master Wildi and acted very anxiously, but Master Wildi happened to be out at that time, so he didn't see him."

"You mean, the body is..."

Hearing Lu Ren's words, Lina nodded. Now Wildi suspected that the body they saw was that of Albert, the owner of the cafe, but there was no evidence to prove it, so he hoped that Lu Ren could help them.

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

Although Lu Ren was not very familiar with Albert, whom he had met once, at least they knew each other and he was not a bad person. If something unexpected really happened, Lu Ren would feel a little uneasy.

"Master Lu Ren, what are you talking about?"

At this moment, Amy walked out of the house and looked at Lu Ren and Lina standing in the yard, feeling a little puzzled.

"Amy, I have something to do and I'm going to go out for a while. Do you want to come with me?"

"May I?"

"Of course."

Seeing that she could go out with Lu Ren alone, Amy didn't ask what the matter was, and then followed Lu Ren.

Under the leadership of Lina, the two of them soon met up with Wildi and the others. After seeing Lu Ren, Wildi's originally heavy expression gradually relaxed.

"You know what's going on, right?"

"Well, Lina told me everything. Where is the body?"

After a brief confirmation, the two of them went to where the body was stored. At this time, the body had been received by the dragon cavalry at their headquarters and preserved by magic.

Amy followed Lu Ren and was shocked when she heard them talking about a corpse. Why was Lu Ren still working as a forensic doctor for Wildi?

"That's it, do you have any idea?"

"Woo..."

Although Lu Ren was mentally prepared, he still felt nauseous when he saw the corpse that was swollen by river water and had a completely disfigured face. It took him a long time to recover.

"It might work……"

Afterwards, Lu Renqiang suppressed her nausea and began to use magic to restore the corpse's original appearance. Under her magic, the originally swollen corpse began to slowly shrink, and the bruises on the face began to slowly disappear.

After about a few minutes, the corpse returned to its state before death, and even the wounds on the body were healed. Fortunately, the dragoon had completed the autopsy in advance, so there was no impact.

"..."

When Lu Ren and Wildie saw the body's original appearance, they couldn't help but gasp. Just as Wildie thought, the body was Albert, the owner of the cafe.

"What on earth is going on? What happened to him?"

Although Lu Ren and Albert were only casual acquaintances, the approachable, warm and amiable shop owner left a good impression on her, and now that he had died, Lu Ren could not help but feel regretful.

"I don't know, but he had thought of asking me for help before. I think he must have encountered something dangerous."

"Does this have anything to do with the hermitage?"

"I don't know..."

Lu Ren and Wildey were both very saddened by Albert's death, and Wildey vowed to find the murderer and give him an explanation.

But the question now is, who killed him and why?
