Act XXXVIII.Inquiry (I)
Hearing Rosen's answer, Xia Nai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, this is indeed true, according to the strength that Rosen showed just now, I am afraid that even if he is surrounded by corpses, he can walk around unscathed in the explosion, for a person, the bite of an ant is just an itch, and he will not pay special attention.
But his attitude really made Xia Nai feel a little underwhelmed.
The three of them waited for the rest of the Magic Guild to arrive, and after seeing the shocked faces of the men when they first saw the distorted corpses, they left and returned to the small office in the corner of the Magic Guild.
"To sum up the current situation. ”
Ain said first, placing the mobile terminal on the stand and projecting several images.
"First of all, in a cultist incident three months ago, the criminals who were supposed to have four people turned out to have only three names on the report, and one person disappeared, and then the guild mage who handled the incident was killed a week ago, and all the files were ransacked, and finally, according to the clues, the convict's accomplice was most likely in the Magic Association. ”
Rosen nodded, and then checked with Xia Nai about the person who had been visiting Zavro's house at the time.
There were nine in all, six of whom were on business trips during this time, and only three, including the branch chief, remained in Ogalon for a long time.
"Won't it?"
Xia Nai reacted, a little incredulous.
"It's impossible to ...... the branch leader"
Suddenly thinking that this was still the headquarters of the Magic Association, Xia Nai quickly covered her mouth.
However, according to the routines serialized on those forums that Xia Nai once saw, the higher the position at this time, the more likely it is that the person behind the scenes, and even implicate a higher-level existence.
Reality doesn't mean that, does it?
"Until there is conclusive evidence, any suspicion exists. ”
Rosen said that he felt that the Graham branch chief was not without suspicion, and the other party was in a position that could perform many operations, and if he was asked to investigate, I am afraid that the first target would be the Graham branch chief.
But in this case, the behavior of the head of the Graham branch is too ostentatious, and it is difficult not to make people doubt it.
As a prisoner who can use corpses to make so many arrangements, it is indeed too strange to leave so many clues, and even the clues that Rosen has obtained before are deliberately misleading by the prisoner.
"Anyway, let's investigate the other two people first, and as for the remaining six people who have clear travel records, check their itinerary as well. ”
Rosen commanded, and the subject was naturally Xia Nai.
"I'll leave those two to you and Axier, and I'll go directly to Mr. Graham. ”
On the one hand, his arrangement was for the sake of safety, even if there was really a cultist arrangement among the three, with their strength, they could completely deal with it, and on the other hand, it was to avoid the embarrassment caused by Xia Nai directly facing his immediate boss.
"I understand. ”
Xia Nai nodded, and he could see Rosen's intentions, thinking that this guy was not completely ignorant of people's hearts.
"Without further ado, let's inquire about it now that the information has not been fully fed back to the headquarters. ”
Rosen clapped his hands and motioned for the two to hurry up.
Xia Nai glanced at Ain, then stood up and walked out of the office.
"Do you think it's possible?"
Before leaving, Ain asked Rosen again.
She was asking if the head of the Graham branch was really a supporter of the cult, and if even the leader of the search headquarters had fallen, the country would most likely face an even greater crisis.
"Just check it out. ”
Rosen shrugged his shoulders and said, it wasn't like he hadn't seen examples of people in high positions actually being cultists.
Rather, the reason why cultists have been able to continue to cause chaos for many years is that there will definitely be some kind of force secretly supporting them, and those cult leaders who are in high positions may have identities on the surface.
After Ain left, Rosen went straight to the office of the Graham branch chief.
He also brought with him some information about the events in Zavro.
When he walked into the office, Minister Graham was reading a report.
"What's wrong, Mr. Bruce?"
He was obviously a little surprised by Rosen's sudden appearance, but quickly returned to his normal appearance.
"Zavro is dead. ”
Rosen got straight to the point, leaving Graham speechless.
"In fact, I just received the report as well. ”
Graham handed Rosen the report in his hand, Zavro's name on the first line.
"I heard that you and Xia Nai were the first to find the body, and to be honest, I'm a little curious, why did you go to him?"
"There was an incident of a cultist, and we wanted to ask him about the situation. ”
Rosen did not hide it, but used this sentence to test Graham.
"Are you referring to the case of Viscount Wellington three months ago?"
Unexpectedly, Graham directly said the case, which made Rosen a little curious, and he didn't know what Graham's next move would be.
"Yes. ”
Lawson nodded, then said.
"According to the information I have learned, there should have been four cultists committing the crime at that time, but on the report of the case, there were only the names of three cultists, and the fourth person was missing, and it was Zavro who handled the case at that time, so we thought if there would be any problems in this, so we went to him to inquire about the situation, but we did not expect this result. ”
"Is that ......?"
Graham sighed softly, then shook his head.
"It's also a shame for the Federation, but as a member of the Federation, you can only maintain it, which is really a bit unsightly. ”
"What does that mean?"
Rosen felt that Graham should know more about the secrets, so he asked.
"Indeed, there were four cultists who committed the crime at that time, and only three were executed in the end, and the fourth person was hidden, which was my order. ”
Graham said helplessly, spreading his hands.
"But rest assured, Mr. Bruce, it's not because of my pity for the cultists or anything else, but because of the identity of the fourth. ”
"Who's the fourth person?"
Rosen remembers that the three cultists who died were all outcasts with no apparent identities, and there are few accounts of them, perhaps they grew up in the cultist camp.
"The fourth man was in fact the son of Councillor Geman, Mr. Bruce, whose name was Heinrich Geman, and that he had killed Viscount Wellington because his attempt to usurp their daughter had been revealed, and not because of the cult's rebellion. ”
Graham said frankly, and shook his head helplessly.
