Chapter 137: Key Clues
"Xiao Li, your conjecture is very accurate, the identity of the magician named Lisa is not simple,"
Mr. Yi smiled and loosened the button of the Songtang jacket, because there was a strand of white hair hidden between his black hair, so the whole person's temperament was a little wiser.
"He hails from the city of Carlo in the northern part of the empire and is a member of the Raven Order. ”
Al and Li Shiyi's hearts beat faster almost at the same time, and as expected, this guy turned out to be really a member of the raven.
"Go on. Li Shiyi said calmly.
"Kasa's parents died when he was young, one fell into a well, the other hanged himself, and the sad thing is that the local seaside town law enforcement department gave the result of the investigation as suicide, and then the case was hastily closed, but that night, their home was inexplicably burned to ashes. ”
Mr. Yi slowly flicked the rosary in his hand, and a water lily in the water tank placed on the square table was pillowing on the soft waves, listening to the ill-fated lives of others.
That night, a nearby neighbor saw a little boy with oil paint on his face rushing into the burning house, and he rescued a fainted little girl from it, this little girl was his sister who had no blood relationship with Kasa, and Kasa had run away from home a year before the accident, and the identity of the boy with watercolor on his face was also disputed, some people said that it was the tree spirit transformed into the towering tree in the yard, some said that the wild man in the jungle, of course, some people speculated that this little boy was the long-missing Kasa。 ”
"However, the bizarre thing is far from over," Mr. Yi blew on the tea foam in the teacup, "just one night later, the law enforcement department of this seaside town was assassinated, the guy in charge of the trial of the suicide of Li's parents was found tragically dead in the office room, and several families who had nothing to do with the incident were also inexplicably attacked, all of them were spared, and they were found dead in the same horrible manner as the judge." ”
"Later, because the murderer could not be found, the serial assassination case was closed, and it is still an unsolved case until now, and Kasa, who ran away from home at the beginning, has never shown up during this period," Mr. Yi said in a calm tone, "even when his biological father and stepmother held funerals." ”
"And why did he run away from home? he must have been a little kid at the time, and he shouldn't have such a hatred for his parents anyway?" Al couldn't help but ask.
"That's a good question," Mr. Yi nodded slightly to Al, "The specific reason is not very clear due to the limited time for the investigation, but what we can understand is that Kasa once injured several little boys who bullied her in order to protect her sister, and this incident once caused quite a stir in their small fishing village, and also brought a heavy blow to their relatively wealthy family, and soon after this incident, the young Kasa ran away from home, so I guess it should be inseparable from this incident." ”
"The people who died in the family and the judge must have something to do with it. Li Shiyi, who had been gloomy for a long time, said suddenly.
"Xiao Li, this is also the reason why I have invited you to help in the underground black market many times, almost perfect insight," Mr. Yi always bent a pair of smiling eyes, others could never see his pupils, "You are right, those families are the families of those little boys who bullied the little girl, and that judge is the guy who sentenced Li's parents to pay sky-high compensation." ”
"Where is that little girl now?" Al leaned forward, unaware of his rudeness.
Mr. Yi didn't immediately answer Al's question, and the meaningful smile on his face grew deeper.
"Can you tell me why you're collecting information about this magician? and a member of the 'Joker Magic Troupe'. ”
"Mr. Yi, I hope you don't waste your time on inconsequential matters, with the information network under your control, it should not be difficult to know about the riots that have occurred in various parts of the mainland in the recent period. Li Shiyi's face was grim.
"Are you referring to the riots in The Hague Prison and Cape Prison?" Mr. Yi pretended not to know, "I'm also hearsay, could it be that those two assassinations were really committed by the Raven Order? ”
"Do you have a clue about this?"
"Please, the underground black market isn't omnipotent, right?" Mr. Yi shook his head with a wry smile, "So far, I haven't found out who planned all these terrorist attacks, not only the two of you, too many people want to know the truth, especially those royal families who are trembling all day long, those noble animals." ”
"Back to the question just now," Li Shi asked in a blank manner, "Li's sister, where is the rescued girl now?"
Mr. Yi put the teacup back on the table in an orderly manner, and he stretched out a finger and pointed to the ground.
"Dorothy, the current trainee nun of the 'Rhine Abbey', the girl who survived is in the imperial capital of Xinlan. ”
"What did you say?!"
Al and Li Shiyi exclaimed at the same time, a problem that had been bothering them for a long time was finally solved, although the whole incident was still full of mysteries, but now they finally found a glimmer of light in the darkness of the sky.
"Is it the nun from the 'Rhine Abbey' who was arrested for no reason in the previous time?"
"That's right," said Mr. Yi, "Unfortunately, ten nuns have already gone to see God at noon today, but I don't know if there is the magician's sister among them." ”
With a "Teng", Li Shiyi sat up from his seat suddenly, his eyes full of light piercing the night.
"El, stay here and get back to where you need to be. ”
Li Shiyi gave Al a look, and what he was referring to was undoubtedly the "Rabbit Candy House".
"Where are you going?"
"A must go. ”
Coldly abandoning a sentence, Li Shiyi once again turned into a "lone ranger", the wind was under his feet, and he quickly left Mr. Yi's room and hurried towards the periphery of the underground black market.
"He's still as anxious as ever," Mr. Yi watched Li Shiyi's back blur in the crowd, "The next thing is the second thing that Xiao Li asked me to investigate, it has something to do with you, Al." ”
"Say, I'll listen. ”
"I've heard you've been interested in orc gladiatorial fights in the Imperial Arena lately. ”
Mr. Yi's breezy words completely made Al change his face, and he slowly raised his head to stare at Mr. Yi.
"What do you know?"
"I've heard a little, as far as I know, those orcs were indeed taken captive, close to the Green Valley Forest, where you grew up, and this matter must be inseparable from Raphael, the manager of the Imperial Arena, and there is a secret piece of information that tells me that Cook, the warden of the Sea Prison, seems to be inextricably linked to this matter. ”
"Who?!Cook?" Al suddenly became agitated, "You mean that guy is also one of the participants?!"
"That's not what I said, it's what you said," Mr. Yi hurriedly pretended not to know, "That's all I can tell you for the time being, and if I continue to investigate, I'm afraid that the entire Josephs Empire will no longer have a place for me." ”
"Mr. Yi, have you noticed any ulterior secrets?" Al stared at Mr. Yi's every move, "but due to some force majeure, he can't tell me, is there any conspiracy behind these orcs?"
"You think too much, my abilities are limited, that's all. ”
The jade rosary was stagnant in his hand, and Mr. Yi turned his back to stop looking at Al, obviously this was an "eviction order".
Although the other party hid it well, through a short release of "breath", Al still noticed that Mr. Yi's heart rate would always increase unconsciously when he mentioned "orcs", and it was obvious that he was lying.
"Thank you for your help, goodbye. ”
Unable to get any valuable clues from Mr. Yi, Al had to choose to leave with interest, and it seemed that some things had to be done by himself.
"Wait," Mr. Yi suddenly stopped Al, "There's one more thing I need to tell you about that magician. ”
"Please. ”
"That guy is dangerous, he has a master personality who keeps his nature and an extremely violent sub-personality in his body, if you are both unlucky, try to avoid angering his sub-personality," Mr. Yi said slowly, "'Joker the Clown' is the name of his sub-personality, and that guy's only hobby is to enjoy the pleasure of killing, and make corpses into puppets full of 'weird art'. ”
"Got it, thanks for the reminder. ”
Al took one last look at Mr. Yi's back, and then left the room without looking back.
"The matter about orcs is far from so simple, alas, in the face of supreme power, all beings are ants..."
Soon after Al left, Mr. Yi let out a sigh of relief, and the jade rosary in his palm turned slowly again.
After leaving the underground black market effortlessly, Al did not invoke the power of the "steel bones", he cautiously stepped on the low mound and traversed the entire western wilderness of Xinlan City, blending in with the amusement crowd as the lights gradually brightened.
Al did not go back to the "Rabbit Candy House" as Li Shiyi said, but ran all the way to the northeast of Xinlan City, because there was an extremely terrifying black and gray building there, and its existence was even more terrifying than the deserted tomb.
In the dark night, the outer perimeter of the Sea Boundary Prison was filled with the smell of death and decay, but Al had expected that Li Shiyi would go there directly, and on this turbulent night, there was a restless sound in all directions.
