Act 41

When Lawson arrived at the scene, the fire in the apartment had been extinguished.

The room on the third floor can be seen to be charred black, and the rooms on both sides have also been damaged, but fortunately, the occupants have not returned home, so there are no casualties.

It was getting late, and Kana sat on a chair in a street café and felt a pang of sadness as she watched the lights gradually light up on the street next to her.

"The clothes I bought, ahh......hhhh

Naturally, the little dresses in Xia Nai's wardrobe did not escape the explosion, they had long since turned to ashes and scattered, and everything she was familiar with was changing in an instant, which made her feel unreal and dreamlike.

"Are you hurt?"

Rosen asked, and he honestly couldn't understand why women would keep most of their clothes in their closets in a world where storage space and storage rings are handy.

Of course, Rosen may never be able to understand the mood of a girl when she looks at her beautiful little dress that fills her wardrobe.

"No, I dodged before the explosion. ”

Xia Nai shook her head, she was in no mood to speak now, she just wanted to quietly watch the sunset and reminisce about the past.

"That's good. ”

Seeing Xia Nai's melancholy appearance, Rosen didn't continue to bother her, but climbed directly to the third floor and came to the scene of the incident.

After showing his ID and getting permission to investigate, Lawson bypassed the blockade and entered the charred room.

As the name suggests, it's completely carbonized here.

All the furniture and objects vaporized in an instant due to the heat, the walls were black and covered with a thick layer of dust, and the whole room was filled with a terrible smell of burning.

"We can't find any clues, we've already used the magic detector to probe before, and now we don't even know the source of the explosion, so don't waste your time. ”

The investigator on the side shook his head, and when he saw that Lawson seemed to be trying to find something from here, he admonished.

"Yes. ”

Lawson didn't say much, and perception stretched through the room, permeating every corner.

Soon, Lawson found a small piece of crystallization in the bedroom, where it used to be a bed.

The crystal, which was no bigger than a fingernail, was hidden in the ashes, and there was no trace of magic itself, so it could not be detected by conventional means.

He stretched out his hand, and the crystal floated from the thick ash and flew into Rosen's palm under the stunned gaze of the investigator.

"A high-energy crystal, which can store enough energy to destroy this neighborhood. ”

The crystal in Lawson's hand is a high-energy crystal that is frequently used on the battlefield, and after being filled with enough magic power, it becomes a powerful explosive, and can inject a certain magic circle into the crystal to control the scale and direction of the explosion.

The one in his hand was obviously of high quality, and it was not destroyed even if it was in the center of the explosion, at most it had lost all its magical properties and became an ordinary crystal.

But this was not difficult for Rosen, his fingers swept over the surface of the crystal, a burst of light flickered, and the traces of the spells that had been carried on the crystal appeared one by one.

"Timing, restrictive range, trigger detonation, looks like a setup specifically for Shana. ”

Putting away the crystal, Lawson glanced around the room again, and found nothing, so he walked downstairs to the surprised eyes of the investigators, returned to Xia Nai's side, and put the crystal on the table.

"This is the culprit that caused your house to be blown up, I found it in the wreckage of the bed in my bedroom, with timed detonation and contact detonation attached. ”

Xia Nai looked at the crystal and subconsciously moved her body back.

"Do you know what that means?"

Rosen couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Xia Nai's rabbit-like appearance when he saw a jackal, so he asked.

"The other party wants to up?"

Xia Nai didn't understand what Lawson meant, and replied hesitantly.

"It's nonsense......"

Rosen shrugged, a little curious about how such a person could apply for a profession that required brains as a mage sent by the Magic Association, and then he continued to explain.

It means that the other person is very aware of your routine. ”

Timing, which means that the other party understands when Xia Nai will go home, and is located in the bedroom, which means that Xia Nai has a high probability of staying in the bed in the bedroom on weekdays.

If Xia Nai hadn't been delayed on the road for a while today, then it is very likely that she was killed directly when she was lazily lying on the bed surfing the Internet after returning home, and it can be said that sweets saved her life.

"Why are you doing this to me? Is it because I'm investigating the cultists?"

Xia Nai felt a pang of irritation, angry at why she had suffered such an unwarranted disaster.

"That's certainly one of the reasons. ”

Rosen patted the young mage's head lightly, causing Xia Nai to be stunned for a moment.

"But there are two more important points, first, why did you choose you, and second, why did you use this form?"

You must know that not many people in the association know about Xia Nai becoming the assistant of Rosen and Ain so far, and people in other departments have not been idle to know about Xia Nai's job change, that is, if Xia Nai was attacked by a bomb because she helped Rosen and Ain, then the murderer must be the one who knows all this.

And why the bomb was used is indeed a doubt, because if the cultists really want to directly wipe out Xia Nai, there is no need to use a prop with too many variables to easily kill Zavro's existence, just wait directly at Xia Nai's home, in Rosen's opinion, this bomb has a stronger warning meaning.

If it can hurt Xia Nai, then it is the best, if Xia Nai escapes, then it can also play a deterrent role, so that the person with a fragile heart will directly give up and continue the search.

After listening to Lawson's explanation, Xia Nai not only did not let go, but felt a chill rush up his spine.

Looking at it this way, the murderer is likely to be his colleague who gets along day and night, and the cultists have infiltrated to this extent to make Xia Nai feel frightened, as if everything cannot be trusted.

"In any case, only by finding out the truth as soon as possible can we stop the crazy behavior of the cultists, otherwise such attacks will only increase in the days to come. ”

Lawson said, then looked at Xia Nai again.

"But first I think you have to find a safe place to sleep. ”

"Well, I'm homeless now. ”

Xia Nai spread her hands and said, with a hint of helplessness.

"If you don't mind, I mean, Ai Xue has a spare place there, do you want to think about it?"

Rosen rarely organized his words before speaking, his words surprised Xia Nai a little, and then showed a subtle expression, and finally nodded in agreement from an undetectable angle.
