Act XXXIV
It was an incident that happened three months ago, presumably when several cultists attacked a nobleman's mansion for unknown reasons, killing the nobleman and his wife, but were discovered by the guards as they fled, and they killed several more guards, and were eventually killed by the members of the Magic Guild who arrived nearby.
Xia Nai was very impressed by this incident, because the dead nobleman was the nephew of a councillor, who was furious at the time, and accused the Magic Association of not protecting his nephew.
"This incident, I remember that there was a lot of commotion, four cultists were killed on the spot, but only three people are recorded here. ”
"Three?"
Thinking of something, Ain walked over to Xia Nai and looked at her screen.
According to the above information, the three cultists who committed the crime at that time were all killed, and their bodies were destroyed after being examined.
"Destroy?"
Aine frowned slightly, in her time, she still had a lot of respect for corpses, even if it was an opponent on the battlefield, she would bury it properly after the battle, and she wouldn't burn it so casually.
"Well, for cultists, because I don't know if they will carry some dangerous diseases or parasites on their bodies, they usually destroy their bodies directly. ”
In the past, there have been cases of cultists being killed, and there have been cases where the corpse of a cultist was killed and the body exploded and injured the law enforcement officers, and there were also cases where the corpse was placed in the morgue after death, but was temporarily resurrected to do evil with the help of necromantic spells, and there were even cases where the corpse decomposed and turned into an extremely deadly germ after a period of death.
In the face of these cultists who do everything they can, they no longer think about so much humanitarianism, and as long as they are successfully arrested and interrogated, they will immediately execute and destroy the corpses.
"So the question is that there were four cultists at the time?"
Rosen asked, although he had a vague feeling that the person in charge of investigating the cultist incident might have a problem, but he didn't expect to find out so quickly.
He asked Xia Nai to compare the information, and he also wanted to try his luck, because according to experience, if there is really an internal problem, Xia Nai's level of small handyman is basically unaware, but at the same time she is a front-line worker, so it has become the best breakthrough.
"Well, we talked about it among our colleagues at that time, and it was a little strange that just four people broke through the mansion of a viscount. ”
Xia Nai nodded, everyone was under a lot of pressure at that time, because although the cultists were killed on the spot, the aftermath work and post-investigation have been fruitless, the strength of those cultists is not strong, but they entered the Viscount's mansion through a secret passage, and when they killed the viscount and his wife, the guards didn't even notice it, if it wasn't for the four fools who met the guards who had a tryst with the maid halfway, I'm afraid people wouldn't find out that the viscount and his wife died tragically in their own bed until the next morning.
It is incomprehensible how these stupid cultists did this, and what their purpose was, has not yet been answered.
The general opinion is that there are moles in the Viscount's mansion, and information such as the patrol time of the guards and the secret passages hidden in it was leaked in advance, which allowed these cultists to succeed, but under the pressure of the councilor, the Magic Association conducted several investigations, but did not find the existence of the so-called traitors in the mansion, which made the councilor angry, and even publicly accused the Magic Association of inaction at the executive meeting.
"Was the author of this report the same person who encountered the cultists at the time?"
Ain looked at the end of the report and saw a man named Zavro.
"Well, yes, it was Zavro who was leading the team at the time, and he was in a nearby town at the time, so he arrived in time and killed the cultist. ”
Shana replied, not knowing the meaning of Ain's question, and subconsciously explained that Zavro was a reliable companion, a humorous person, and a model husband who was very kind to his wife and daughter.
"Maybe there's a discrepancy in the report, maybe a clerical error or something?"
These reports are all extremely high-level, and people of Xia Nai's level are generally out of reach, and those who can read these records are people who will not be there in person, which is why no one has discovered this error for such a long time.
"Is he in the association now, I want to ask him. ”
Ain didn't know the man, so he could look at him objectively.
"Well, Zavro seems to have been on vacation last week, after dealing with a cultist incident in southern Wendland and seemed to be very tired. ”
Xia Nai recalls that the holidays of the people were irregular, usually only a few days after a mission was over, so she felt extremely painful to be interrupted.
"On vacation?"
Rosen seemed to have something in mind and asked.
"Do you know where he lives?"
"Well, he's living at 35 Lineco Avenue in Organon, and we had a party at his house last year. ”
Xia Nai had a bad feeling, but she answered truthfully, because Ain's eyes made her feel that she couldn't lie.
"Whether it's an error or something else, it's important to check the situation at the time. ”
Lawson said, then to Shana.
"We'll go to his house tomorrow and ask, maybe there's some clue to it. ”
Regarding Rosen's words, Xia Nai could only nod and agree, after all, the other party was an advisor sent by Lord Delcini, and from the perspective of rank, he was also Xia Nai's boss.
"Beyond that, you keep looking for anything wrong with the files. ”
"Wait, I beg my pardon, but Mr. Bruce, why are you investigating this, it may be my delusion, but it always feels like you're investigating someone inside the Magic Society?"
Xia Nai didn't think much about it, and asked directly, she has always had this kind of upright character, so when her previous colleagues introduced herself to friendship, Xia Nai was often the conversation terminator, with a very high talent for cold fields.
"Yes, I'm investigating the Magical Society. ”
Rosen didn't shy away from it, he probably could see from Graham's attitude, as well as Xia Nai's own performance, that this guy should be trustworthy, so he didn't hide it, after all, if such an upright guy is really a traitor of the cultists, then I'm afraid the cultists should have been wiped out from this world a long time ago.
"In fact, I think that some of the members of the cult are hidden in various power structures, and it is even possible that a certain member of parliament is one of the leaders of the cult. ”
