Chapter 455: Earthquake
After talking about the situation, Captain Hank, for fear that Renault would not give face, complimented him again and again:
"Pastor Reynolds, you may not know, but you are a celebrity in our security team, everyone knows you, you are meticulous, intuitive, and active, and those guys in the Nine Branches talk about you every day, let alone Lieutenant Wendiny..."
"Hehe, our family and Wentini and their family are also world friends, and the relationship is very good, even if you count her, she is still my niece!"
"Everyone was speculating before, who can conquer this flower of the security team, but now there is naturally no suspense..."
Compared with his rhetoric, which is both sycophant and relationship-climbing, Sir Donald is much more simple and direct.
"Pastor Reno, this matter is related to the reputation of the store, and I hope you can help, and I will thank you afterwards!"
Renault nodded again and again, and replied solemnly:
"I see, I'm going to do my best!"
The three of them then went to the underground warehouse where the crystal was stored, next to the processing room.
For example, some unprocessed rough stones are naturally not as closely guarded as the finished products, that is, they are stored in warehouses and not sent to the vaults of the city, so that it is convenient for craftsmen to rush to work.
Moreover, the security of the city of innocence has always been very good, and this prosperous avenue is even more so, with sheriffs patrolling day and night, and Jazz has hired professional security personnel, which is theoretically safe enough.
But the crystal is still gone, and I don't even know when it hasn't been...
Renault first used polygraph magic to interrogate the security guards on duty last night, and found that it was not the guards who stole themselves, and they were not lazy last night, and they had been guarding their posts.
Then he checked the scene again, and indeed found no obvious traces visible to the naked eye, even the safe where the crystal was placed was intact.
The safe didn't look ordinary, it was very sturdy, and there were many patterns carved on the surface and inside.
"So, the thief must be using magic, right?"
"The profession of a mage is to like stealing other people's things!"
Renault came to a preliminary conclusion.
Although Captain Hank and Sir Donald on the side didn't know why he was biased against mages, they explained:
"This safe is a magic item in itself, and it is blessed with a lot of protective measures to prevent magic theft, and I have spent a lot of money on it..."
Sir Donald introduced the origin of the safe, and then there was a faint expression of pain on his face, it seems that the cost of money is really a bit heavy...
Captain Hank followed:
"Yes, yes, this is a magic safe made by Master Wenna himself, if someone uses magic to steal, the master will find out immediately..."
"And the Master is the most powerful and knowledgeable mage in the city, and there is no way anyone can steal the crystal from him... That's why it's so troublesome. ”
But when Renaud heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said:
"I see, then I know who the prisoner is!"
"There is only one truth, that Wenna stole the crystal!"
"Since this Wen Na is so powerful, and this box was made by him, then he must have a way to take the crystal like this without realizing it, right?"
The captain and the knight couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time showed an embarrassed look on their faces.
After the air was quiet for a while, Captain Hank reluctantly explained:
"Although logically speaking, Master Wenner does have suspicions... But he is a highly respected master, and he has amazing wealth, and he is backed by the towering tree of the School of Supplicants, and even the city lord respects him..."
"Such a big man, even if he is really interested in crystals, he wouldn't use such a despicable means as stealing, right?
As he spoke, his heart was full of scolding. Worry-free Chinese network
Is this young priest really reliable? Even Master Wenner dares to doubt it? It doesn't look like he's as brave as the guys in the Nine Branches say...
Is it because Wentini Nanni forcibly boasted about it in order to praise him?
Sir Donald, who was on the side, also said:
"I also don't think it has anything to do with Master Wenna, he and his disciples and his wife are regular customers in the shop, and we have always had a good relationship with him. ”
When Renault heard them say this, he sighed helplessly:
"Alas, it is because of your thinking inertia that he dares to act so boldly..."
"Actually, this matter is also very simple, wouldn't it be better to go directly to his house and search his house?
"This..."
The Captain and Sir were speechless, how could they dare to search the home of such a big man, not even if there was clear evidence, let alone speculation...
And as soon as Renault looked at the expressions of the two, he knew that they didn't believe in themselves at all.
Hmph! The wisdom of mortals...
However, he still has a second plan.
I saw him take out the crystal that Avina Lo had given him from his bosom and asked:
"Lost crystals, isn't it like this?"
Sir Donald's eyes widened, he took the crystal from Renault's hand, examined it carefully, and said in a loud voice:
"Yes! Yes! That's it!"
"The color, the luster, the transparency, and that comfortable feeling are almost the same, except for the shape and size, this one is a little bigger..."
"Reverend Renault, can you give me this crystal?"
Seeing his eagerness, Renault scratched his head, showed a distressed look, and said in a deep voice:
"Although you spoke, sir, I should have agreed, but this crystal was given to me by a lovely believer..."
Sir Donald immediately resorted to the simplest and most brutal means of persuasion:
"100 gold!"
"Uh... It's not about the money, it's something someone else is giving away..."
"150 gold!"
"Don't do that, I didn't mean that..."
“200!”
"Since you are so sincere, then I can only endure the pain of parting love..."
Seeing Renault nodding, Sir Donald was relieved, and immediately asked the butler on the side to fetch a stuffed money bag and handed it to Renault very simply.
As for the crystal, it was also hurriedly sent to the craftsmen, and they were asked to work overnight.
Although the process is different, the best outcome is when you only need to spend money to solve the problem.
Anyway, I can sell the noble lady for 500 gold when I go back, and I can't lose it.
"It seems that it is the right choice to come to you today!"
Sir Donald said with satisfaction, and was very wise not to ask about the origin of the crystal, but only to say that if there was any in the future, he would like to sell it to him for the same price.
