Diana walked forward and flipped over Shazan's body. She gently closed his eyes, which were filled with confusion. Shazan's original body was actually a 16-year-old boy. He was even a little thin and weak. Under normal circumstances, he would not maintain his Shazan form when he was about to sleep.
After all, maintaining his transformation required a lot of energy.
However, Shazan's body was his appearance after transformation — a tall and muscular adult.
He was still wearing the red uniform with the yellow lightning bolt pattern on the chest and the magic hood. However, the white lightning surrounding him had been extinguished forever. Even the pair of eyes that could burst out lightning were only left with the gray color of death.
"Shazan must have been killed when he was meeting someone …" Diana said angrily. "When he hides in his room alone, he will change back to his original appearance."
"Diana!" Batman stopped Diana from continuing. If she continued to speculate, she would come to an awkward conclusion — the murderer was among them … and this was what the murderer wanted to achieve. Batman said in a low voice, "No matter how angry we are now, we cannot fall into the trap that the murderer has set for us."
"Why did he choose to commit the murder at the base of the Justice and Order Alliance?"
"It's to destroy the trust between us!" Sea King Arthur said. However, when he raised his head, he saw many people looking at him in surprise. Arthur frowned and said, "What? Can't I use my brain? "
Diana had also calmed down. She said to the Sea King, "I thought you would be the most impulsive and angry one among us …"
"I'm very angry!" The Sea King said coldly. "I want to break the bones of the beasts … Shazan's death is unusual."
"Oh!" Batman was really surprised this time. The Sea King had always been the one who did not like to use his brain. Arthur was a reckless man. He could kill people easily, but if he was asked to make a plan … God, how many times had Arthur's plan been ruined by Mela's recklessness?
"The person who killed him is provoking us … Not only does he want to get rid of us, but he also wants to defeat us," Arthur said calmly.
Batman quickly figured it out … The Justice League had faced countless enemies, but under normal circumstances, an enemy hiding in the dark would either kill Batman, Superman, or the Flash first … Especially the Flash. Usually, when a powerful enemy appeared, they would get rid of the Flash first.
Because Seraphic Speed was too overpowered!
Taking advantage of the opportunity to get rid of the Flash was equivalent to moving the most troublesome general of the Justice League. Similarly, it was the same for Batman and Superman. Killing Batman was equivalent to destroying the brain of the Justice League. Killing Superman was equivalent to destroying the soul and the most powerful combat power of the Justice League. Killing the Flash was equivalent to eradicating the biggest 'surprise' of the Justice League.
Some people liked to challenge the brains of the Justice League, while others liked to directly defeat the strongest Superman of the Justice League. They all wanted to prove their intelligence and strength, but they did not like accidents that ruined their plans.
Therefore, the Flash was always the first to die.
But this time was different. They chose to kill Shazan first, and they did it in the headquarters of the Justice League … Although Shazan was a very active and powerful hero, he did not pose much of a threat to the enemy. This was because he was not mature enough, and it was easy for him to fall into the enemy's trap. It was not difficult for the few leaders of the Justice League to kill Shazan.
Therefore, almost no one would choose to get rid of Shazan first.
When an enemy hiding in the dark attacked for the first time, they would usually choose the target that posed the greatest threat to them, unless they liked to fight, like the Joker liked to play with Batman.
"He killed Shazan in the watchtower to destroy the trust between us and cause a crisis of trust in the Justice League. At the same time, he showed his confidence and announced that he would directly defeat the Justice League. At the same time, he wanted to provoke us to the greatest extent … Because Shazan is the target of our protection!" Batman had calmed down, but his tone was still cold.
In the eyes of the Justice League's heroes, Shazan was generally regarded as a boy scout. He was a little rebellious and childish, but he had the purest heart in the Justice League, and was the target of everyone's protection.
The enemy's cruel killing of the underage Shazan had angered everyone in the Justice League.
Batman took a closer look at the wound that took Shazan's life. It was a ruthless and accurate strike that pierced through Shazan's heart from the back. The wound was caused by a sharp weapon. The weapon was a narrow dagger. The wound was three inches long, and it was very close to the body. This meant that Shazan was killed by a sharp dagger from the back.
"Shazan's body did not return to its original state after his death," Batman said after examining the wound. "There might be magic involved."
"Shazan was killed by a magic dagger?" Zatanna frowned. She turned around and asked Constantine, who had been distracted ever since he found Shazan's body, "Do you remember such a magical artifact?"
"Ah?" Constantine came back to his senses and said in a panic, "I don't remember it, but we still don't know what magic is attached to the dagger … so …"
"Let everyone return to their rooms!" Batman ordered. "There are too many people here! It won't help the investigation! "
Diana ordered directly, "Everyone … return to their rooms. The rest of the investigation will be handled by Batman and me … We also need a magical assistant … Zak, you should come down and help as well. And you, Barry … We might need you. "Zatanna was just about to say that Constantine could help, but Zak Kang left first.
Before he left, he said to Zatanna, "Don't be silly, Zach … They don't trust me."
Constantine reached out to tidy Zatanna's hair. Then, without looking back, he put on his yellow windbreaker and walked back to his room. Zatanna stared at his back. Her woman's intuition told her that the man she loved deeply had something on his mind.
After everyone had left, Diana said, "No matter who killed Shazan, Wizard Shazan will definitely know. We just need to ask Wizard Shazan!" Wizard Shazan was an ancient wizard. He had participated in the creation of the Eternal Council, a wizard organization whose main purpose was to protect mankind. The Eternal Council was formed by the seven wizards with the highest level of magic in human history. They had participated in many major events.
Including the trial of the three original sins, Pandora, Judas, and the Interrogator.
Wizard Shazan had spent three thousand years protecting mankind. Later, he grew tired of it and chose a righteous, pure, and kind fifteen-year-old boy, Billy Batson, as the guardian of mankind. He was given the ability to use the power of the six gods just by saying 'Shazan'.
Now that Captain Shazan was killed, the others did not see the murderer, but Wizard Shazan, who was one with Captain Shazan, must know something.
"We can only contact Wizard Shazan if we return to the Rock of Eternity," Batman said. "But Captain Shazan is dead. Who can find the Rock of Eternity?"
"The Rock of Eternity is the center of the universe …" Batman also had a headache. How could they go to the Rock of Eternity with Shazan dead?
Zatanna's eyes lit up when she heard this. Find a place, or find a person, it was just to find something … Who could be better than Constantine? He was a man who could go to heaven (Heaven), enter (Hell's phantom zone), enter (Heavenly realm), enter (Dreamrealm), go to (Spirit Thin Purgatory), and tread (Hell)!
"I can get Constantine to go … He should be able to find that place!" Zatanna said.
"No …" Batman and Wonder Woman said in unison. They looked at each other and let Batman explain. Batman had no intention of hiding it at all. "Constantine is still our suspect … We can't let the suspect look for clues."
At this time, Wonder Woman made a discovery. She found a small doll that looked like a Barbie doll on Sha Zan's bedside. Sha Zan did not look like the kind of little boy who would play with a Barbie doll. Moreover, the doll's shape was really suspicious … It was a strange little person with a button for eyes sewn with cloth.
Wonder Woman raised the doll and said, "Do any of you recognize this thing?"
"Let me see …" Zatanna took the doll, and a trace of panic flashed across her face … This did not escape Batman's eyes. Zatanna said in a low voice, "This is a magic tool, a voodoo doll … This is a magic tool used to steal things from others. Wizards usually use this thing to steal people's lifespan, love, happiness, honor …"
"And power!" Batman interrupted Zatanna and said, "This thing can also steal Shazan's power!"
"Can you tell who gave this to Shazan?" Wonder Woman's expression turned serious. Clearly, they all had their own guesses … But what made Zatanna panic was that their guesses might be true. This was because this voodoo doll was a secret technique of the Voodoo Sect. There weren't many people who could make it, and Constantine happened to know one who often stole from him.
Daddy Midnight!
But Daddy Midnight was already dead! In order to protect the Eye of Agomodo, he was surrounded by several Great Mages of the Church of Cold Flames. He killed Mr. E, but he also died in the hands of others. Zatanna did not even know why Daddy Midnight would give up his life for Constantine. They were not good friends.
However, after Daddy Midnight died, if there was any inheritance, it could only fall into Constantine's hands.
Zatanna subconsciously hid her own guess, but she still revealed the clues. "This kind of magical tool requires a considerable level of magical attainments. Furthermore, only the Voodoo Sect's Mages are skilled in this style of voodoo doll. It must have come from the hands of a very powerful Voodoo Sect Mage."
Zatanna suddenly looked flustered. She ran her fingers through her hair to avoid Batman's gaze.
She said in a low voice, "I still have to check the magic books … I have to go back."
Zatanna found an excuse to leave. Wonder Woman held the doll and said to Batman, "You actually didn't expose her. That's rare!"
"Because Constantine shouldn't be the murderer … This is just something to divert our attention. Of course, we can't ignore the investigation of him. I'll keep an eye on him!" Batman said. "Zatanna will ask him. It's better than me asking!"
