29. Scavengers

It has been a stalemate for a long time, and the archbishop, who has used his power and feelings, finally made Filily compromise, in fact, the period from the time when the fire erupted to the time when the inspectors hurried to the scene was enough to burn people to bones. Filily's insistence was due to duty, and the archbishop was probably for the safety of the personnel.

After waiting for the inspectors who arrived to start extinguishing the fire, Fei Lili was responsible for carrying the archbishop who was covered with bruises and leaving the treatment, although she regretted not discovering the abnormality earlier, but Nangong had to suppress this unwillingness in her heart and participate in the work of extinguishing the fire.

Although she may be able to find any clues by searching immediately after putting out the fire, she may not be able to find any clues, but when she suddenly encountered a large number of assassins who set fire to the fire and almost killed the archbishop, she probably didn't have the heart to do so, and she couldn't spare the time to investigate immediately. Although there is certainly no need to worry too much about the external interpretation of this fire, the ritual of the oracle is imminent, and the Inquisition probably does not have the extra manpower to spend time pursuing this matter.

After all, the oracle is the number one target of the cultists at present, and everything else must be compromised for this.

……

The fire was not extinguished until the next day, but for the court, which had no professional equipment and could not call the fire brigade because of the peculiarities of the matter, the fire was not so much extinguished as it was that everything was burned clean, and it was better to extinguish it automatically because of the loss of combustibles.

The paparazzi almost broke down the door of the inquisition, and the news that "the concentration of faith is on fire, and the inquisition is about to end" immediately spread. Although only the so-called "public opinion". But if you leave it alone, I'm afraid it will cause panic among ordinary people. Especially at a time when the Magic Society suddenly came to the surface. The slightest mistake in the Inquisition will help the Magical Society grow.

In the place of the injured archbishop, it was Filily who, after sending the reporters away with a somewhat lame argument, also lost the last of her vitality as if she had stayed up for a few days and nights, and it seemed that whether it was the events of the previous night or the care of the archbishop all night, these made Filily too tired.

What equipment is aging in the house, electrical appliances are short-circuited and caught fire, is this somewhat mysterious reason really suitable for explanation here?

Nangong worked with the other inspectors to push the reporters away, while planning the search route for the accident scene after this. The area of the fire must be very large. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted such a big commotion the next day, perhaps because of such a large area, the Assassins would have taken advantage of it.

"Then I'm going to search."

After solving the "mental" trouble, the reporter, Nangong, who was idle, did not plan to rest, but immediately carried out an investigation with a running out of time. Although this time I brought two guns to ensure safety, these two small machine spirits will basically only sell cute.

Generally speaking, now that the purpose has been accomplished, the remaining Assassins should be honest for a while.

"Then I'm sorry for you, Lord Bishop insists on focusing on the ritual of the oracle, so I really can't get out of the way."

Although she was tired, she didn't seem to have any intention of resting. "Don't investigate it by the end of tonight, whether you find it or not, after all, the burned place is already known to outsiders. It needs to be repaired as soon as possible. ”

"I'll do my best."

Although he wanted to call Fei Lili with him, Nangong still chose to leave quickly after facing that haggard face. In terms of Filily's character, she will never stop working until the moment she is tired and falls, and no matter how much others persuade her, she will probably not be able to. Then the only way to help her is to minimize her workload, although it is only a hunch, but Nangong thinks that Fei Lili will definitely take the time to investigate the scene of the accident before today.

Not far away, there was still a faint black smoke, and the wreckage of ashes burned by the flames was still there. It's really hard to find anything, but if it is to be restored from tomorrow, there will be no more clues to the last possible clue, and in that case it will be the complete victory of the Assassin's master, the ultimate murderer.

"You'd better not do useless work, right?"

Seeing that Nangong was like a scavenger buried in the burned black ruins, looking for clueless "clues" at all, Xixun, who had always been more inclined to listen to orders, finally couldn't help it, and pulled up Nangong, who was covered in black ash, after getting out of Nangong's back.

"In the past, fire was often the best way to bury evidence, even now. You don't have any tools but a pair of hands, and it's impossible to find anything. ”

“……”

Indeed, even if there are a lot of things mixed in this pile of ruins, there is not a single clue that can actually "pick up". A burnt jet-black shiny sword? But it has been a while since he came to the inquisition, and Nangong's understanding of the inquisition has gradually increased, but this seemingly very simple sword has nothing to do with the inquisition.

I have to say that the weapons of the Inquisition are a little too individual, as if they are afraid that others will not know that this is a "holy sword", and the cross embedded in the hilt of the sword is too easy to target. There is no way to find any clues from the weapon used by the murderer.

"Whew...... Take this sword with you. ”

Nangong, who was a little embarrassed by what Xi Xun said, really had no face and was empty-handed anymore, and after putting the waste sword in a bag, his eyes drifted away.

One of the few corpses that could barely be identified as "corpses", but it was unrealistic to confirm their exact identity, and she could only be judged by her physique as one of the Assassins.

Originally, the clothes of the Assassins and the priests were different, but a fire that lasted all night had already burned the clothes and nothing left. Naturally, his face was blurred into something more terrifying than a mosaic, but judging from his movements, it seemed to be similar to the two previous assassins who used as bait, not to be killed, but to commit suicide by sticking a sword into his chest.

It's a little strange, but it's impossible to take the body away, and there's no way to communicate directly with the inspectors to let them take it away, and the most suspicious place is already obvious, so let's take a few more photos.

Sure enough, what the bounty monster Kwai Lei said was quite useful, and in this modern era, some modern equipment can often preserve a lot of precious "evidence". By the way, maybe it would be nice to give these clues "simply" to Banqing and let her entrust Aoi Bud to study them?

"Now, Xijing ......"

Just when Nangong was about to tell this good "idea" to satisfy his vanity a little, he found that Xi Xun, who was supposed to be waiting by his side, didn't know when he had disappeared, not only her, but even the twin machine spirits on his waist didn't know when he had slipped away.

On the other hand, there was a faint gunfire and some dazzling glare suddenly in the distance, the gunfire should undoubtedly be the work of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, as for the light, it didn't look like some "holy light" or something, but it was a similar phenomenon in the magic of the previous "apprentice witch" Emilia.

Could it be ...... There's a magician here!?
