Chapter Seventy-Two: The Mystery of Able (Part II)
Leaving the Alchemist Guild, the five soldiers split into two routes, Tang Xin and Wen Ergongzi went to the Stormwind City Guard, and Luan Jing Zhu Yan, Fei Xu Mengmeng and Hua Qianshu went to the Shining Gold Guard.
The Stormwind City Escort is the Wanted Mission Office, Tang Xin showed his ID and entered the Escort Team's archives.
"Hello, please help me find the file of the Brant family's tragedy." Tang Xin's permission can view the cases of the knight class and below, and the Brant family has been deprived of the title and is classified in the cases of the civilian class, and Tang Xin can view them at will.
I don't know if it's an adjustment made by the system to reduce the difficulty of the mission, after all, if the Brant family still has the title of earl, then Tang Xin must be upgraded to the high-level wanted mission reputation to view this information.
"You see, it is said here that the fire starts burning from the treasury, and the ignition point is the source of magic fire, and the magic guild has done a mana source test, but it has not found a suitable legal person......" Tang Xin pointed to one of the dossier and said, Tang Xin had just turned two pages, and saw that Wen Ergongzi had closed the dossier in his hand, and looked at the copy in Tang Xin's hand, indicating that he had finished reading it and was waiting for the exchange!
It's really heart-wrenching, and the gap between people should not be so big. Tang Xin silently pushed over the book he hadn't finished reading yet, and then automatically and consciously began to read another one.
"The number of bodies found in the end, which is consistent with the registered members of the Brant family, confirms that the Brant family was exterminated in this case; …… This conclusion is too hasty, how can the kiss be legal, there is not even a piece of evidence to prove it, and it is not said that the number of people is right. There is no mention of the characteristics of the corpse, and such a perfunctory investigation can be closed? Tang Xin complained, she didn't think that the officials of this escort team were all mentally retarded. There must be something tricky in this, maybe the mastermind behind the scenes gave some order to order them to close the case hastily.
"The seal here is also not clear to see the signature of the reviewer, and the final disposition is to suspend the investigation and deal with it as a suspicious case." Wen Er had finished reading all the texts, and his index finger lightly tapped the table. The extremely clever little brain was running rapidly, thinking about the various doubts in the dossier.
"IQ is really hard to hurt, do they think no one has found out? It's too crude! Tang Xin wrinkled his face and complained.
"If it weren't for us taking over Abel's mission. Probably no one really pays attention to this matter, and this simple cover-up is enough. Wen Er was noncommittal.
"That's right, the trigger conditions for this quest are quite harsh. And Abel had to be killed to finally get it. It's not easy. Tang Xin nodded in understanding.
There are no other clues in the file, and the investigation records show that every time the escort team collects evidence and investigates the case, it is a routine and hasty matter, Tang Xin and Wen Er originally did not plan to find out anything in the file, but just figured out this to determine the situation behind the scenes, so it can be regarded as a completion of the task.
On the other side, several people who were investigated by the Shining Gold Escort Team also knew a lot of gossip from the mouths of the members of the Guò Escort Team.
Antalya is the childhood sweetheart of Abel who grew up together. They have a very good relationship and go to school together in a magic school.
After Abel's alchemist talent was discovered. has received great attention, and has also entered the hall-level discussion society of the Alchemist Guild - the Purple Gold Flower Society, which is a society that only talented genius alchemists have the opportunity to join, which can be called the Mensa Club of the alchemy world.
Since then, Abel has been getting busier with his studies and career, Antalya feels left out, and Abel also feels guilty, so he entrusts his good buddy Ray-Ban to take care of Antalya while he is busy.
Ray-Ban is the squad leader of the sixth detachment of the Shining Gold Guard, and he has the title of viscount himself, and he seems to be a handsome and upright young man.
The Shining Gold Guards are somewhat like the role of Ouchi guards, responsible for the safety of the royal family, how to say, they themselves are the children of the nobles, but they also serve as the guardians of the royal family, and the royal family also trusts them to protect the security.
Ray-Ban and Antalya gradually became familiar with each other, and in the end, something happened naturally.
Luan Jing Zhu Yan, Hua Qianshu and Fei Xu Meng brought back this information, and also attached some of their own evaluations. "So it's about fire prevention, theft prevention, and girlfriend prevention, even buddies have to be guarded against, Abel's little sad urging, tsk, it's a rich and handsome body, the life of a dick!" Luan Jing Zhu Yan's tone was very vicious, and she then complained, "That little slut is also hypocritical, and she is lonely and unbearable, and she has to pretend to be a white lotus." ”
"They say that Ray-Ban and Antalya have been together for a long time, and Abel doesn't know it, and his brain is a little bad, and he thinks it's a fairy tale? Will the prince and princess surely be happy? He is also too pretentious. Fei Sumeng and Luan Jing Zhu Yan took the same route, but the object of his complaint was Abel, "My wife is not in prison, and she deserves to be dumped."
"You two little girls, accumulate some virtue! Do you know why you're still single? Hua Qianshu joked, Luan Jing Zhu Yan and Fei Xu Meng are both white bone spirits who are not bad in all aspects, they have money, a house and an enviable job, but they are both golden leftover women without male tickets, and they see things too thoroughly, and they don't know whether they are good or bad.
"Sister Qianqian, can you still play happily, please let it go!" Luanjing's delicate little face was wrinkled, and as soon as she got home, she thought about the three aunts and eight aunts, which was really irritable.
"Sister Qianqian, if you see through it or not, you have to practice again." Fei Yu kept a blank face and retorted wittily.
Tang Xin and Second Prince Wen looked at them with a smile and a very happy mood.
After laughing, Tang Xin summed up the current clues, "To find out how Able became a robot, and the truth about the arson, I'm afraid you have to find out where the third prince is."
There are also sewer construction and personnel access, all of which are well documented, and it is estimated that there will be some clues when checking the registration data. ”
"It's not easy to find the master of engineering in the royal city, and it's not easy to change a big living person into a mechanical body." Wen Er Gongzi added.
After the division of labor is clear. Everyone set off again, Tang Xin volunteered to find the master of engineering, and Wen Er took the position of vice president of Wolong Fort. He and Hua Qianshu went to visit the third prince, Luan Jing Zhu Yan and Fei Xu Meng are both thieves, and they are ready to secretly infiltrate the database.
After a few hours, everyone returned to the tavern where they had gathered.
"I'm making a lot of progress here, and I've found the master engineer who operated on Able." Tang Xin announced the good news, but she continued, "But that master has been killed. What I found was the body, and his diary, which was written in coded script. As long as it can be unraveled, at least you can know who entrusted the master to perform the operation. ”
"The third prince is a very interesting person." Wen Ergongzi took the diary, flipped through it, and sucked on the juice. With a smile on his face, he told him what he had discovered.
"Hey, hey. Can you talk well? Tang Xin looked unhappy, knocked on the table with a small hammer, and looked at Wen Er, as if he didn't say it, he would directly suppress it by force and beat him violently.
Scare! Why does this girl want to hit people all day long! Second Prince Wen looked at the delicate little hammer in Tang Xin's hand in fear, did he look very bad? Wen Er stroked his fingers over his smooth chin suspiciously.
"Oh, the king is very ill. The departments he assisted in the management were finance and economics, under his management. The Lionheart Empire's economy is thriving. Wen Er pondered for a moment and began to speak, "He has a good reputation, is friendly, asks himself not to have military power, and only manages people, this indifferent style is highly praised by the ministers, and the old king also loves him." ”
"I don't think it's interesting...... You praise him first, and you feel like what you're going to say next is going to be wonderful. Tang Xin raised his eyebrows and said.
Second Prince Wen took the pen, and he didn't know what to calculate on the paper, he shook his head and said, "It's not very exciting, it's just interesting." ”
"Say it soon!" Tang Xin leaned over with interest, wanting to try to see how Wen Er Gongzi cracked the code, but saw a large number of symbols on the paper that she couldn't understand, as well as numbers or something, just looking at it, her head was a little dizzy, and Tang Xin could only give up.
"Gavin met us in the break room, and he was very interested in where Wolong Fort would be based next, and vaguely promised that as long as we could come up with 1,000 players above level 25 at a certain time, we could privately sponsor a piece of our territory." Wen Er recounted in a calm tone, "And he has a rather unique view of the titles of nobility, he believes that anything, including such things as nobility, can be exchanged and used. ”
"It's not simple, he is definitely going to fight for the throne, a lot of bloody drama, first hide it, then kill my brother, then kill my father, and finally become the king himself." Tang Xin concluded.
"It's not that simple, he doesn't want to fight, but he already thinks that the throne belongs to him...... It's as if the eldest prince, the second prince and the king are already under his control. ”
"Then why does he borrow troops from you?" Tang was puzzled.
"Gavin seems to be planning to exploit the Northern Wastelands, presumably to summon some resurrected adventurers as cannon fodder......"
"Well, that's all for later, so what does this have to do with Abel? You shouldn't have forgotten about this incident! You're looking for clues about the arson case and the Abel transformation robot, who told you to find out the third prince! Tang Xin crossed her waist and said fiercely in the shape of a teapot, this guy is really not doing his job, she doesn't care who is the king and who fights whom, when the time comes, there will be fights everywhere, she is already very happy, the battlefield is the cutest
"Don't worry...... Wen Er touched his nose and muttered in a low voice, how could he forget about the matter, just suddenly mentioned it and said a few more words, this little violent maniac is really in a hurry, he must finish the password of the diary first.
Wen Er put down the scratch paper that was full of writing, and pulled another piece of paper, writing something on it, "Abel plays a special role in this matter. His father, Count Brandt, was a neutral faction loyal to the king, did not support any prince, only loyal to the king, which in itself was nothing, and many nobles had this position.
Abel is not just an ordinary aristocratic son, but a genius alchemist, mentioned in the alchemists' guild materials, he invented an age-reducing potion, with very low side effects, can make people shrink ten years in an instant, for 1 hour, but will not have much impact on the body.
The son of a neutral count, a genius alchemist, these two identities together make Abel himself the core of a vast chain of interests. (To be continued......)
