The torn page of the ledger order had Imperial Blue on it, and the Assassin left one behind when Jeremiah was assassinated. At the same time, the owner and wife of the magic consumables store were killed......

I said it was a coincidence, do you believe it?

Regardless of whether the Guards' investigation ledgers and goods match the number of gems left by the serial murderers at the scene of the crime, the nature of the matter has completely changed from this moment on.

It is not a case to be dealt with in conjunction with a serial murder case, but a separate conspiracy against the high-ranking aristocracy.

The guards didn't know about Jeremiah's assassination, and Ann had no interest in getting it all known, but as Carla mentioned earlier, the mastermind must have wiped out all traces that might have exposed him before he planned the operation, and unfortunately, the victim couple belonged to the 'erased' part.

This is most likely how it happened.

The mastermind behind the scenes intends to use the serial killer's affairs for his own benefit, such as assassinating rival nobles and the like, but for this he must obtain gems that match the identity of the assassin.

Magic gems are not cabbage, especially high-end magic gems that are in line with the status of nobility, each of which has a record.

This thing can only be purchased in the imperial capital by gem psychedelia, but in this way, how to extinguish the mouth has become a big problem, Clark can live until now is definitely not only as simple as excellent gem processing technology, once the mouth is extinguished, leaving a clue that is quite unfavorable to himself, and then it will hurt to eat himself.

So he picked this consumables store, because the owner of this shop has connections that can get valuable gems, and compared to Clark, who controls the entire gem business in the imperial capital, the owner and wife of the magic consumables store that are everywhere are not too easy.

It's just that the owner of this shop can't get too high-end magic gems, so he can only find an imperial blue to make do, which doesn't matter, after all, imperial blue is also a very valuable gem, but it doesn't have a magic effect.

When An Yizhi met the family in the car, they were likely to have imperial sapphires on them, and the whole family went out to buy goods.

Not long after they were separated, the family had just returned to the shop when they were assassinated by the killer, who may have been hiding in the magic supplies store not too far from Duke Winifred's palace before attacking Jeremiah......

That's not right!

An Yizhi suddenly remembered one thing, why did the daughter of the two couples disappear!

At this time, the guards had already taken out stretchers to carry out the bodies of the couple, and An Yizhi turned directly to the head of the guard next to Kara and asked:

"Have you found the body or whereabouts of a little girl of seven or eight years old?"

The head of the guard looked down at the document and said:

"The report does mention that the victim had a daughter, but we have not found her whereabouts."

"There are no places like the upper floors or the nearby alleys?"

The man shook his head, affirmatively no.

That's weird.

Since the murderer killed the two husbands and wives in the magic consumables store, there is no reason why he would let a little girl go, as a dead man who regards his master's orders as everything, he obviously can't be soft-hearted when he sees a child.

Could it be that the murderer took her body after killing someone?

This doesn't seem to be quite correct, what is the murderer trying to do?

On second thought, the little girl may have escaped, but it doesn't make sense.

A seven- or eight-year-old child is already capable of understanding a lot of things, although not as wicked as Carla's younger brother Charles, at least she also knows to ask for help from the guards or passers-by, and if she escapes, the police will definitely receive a report of this.

Dead, can't find the body, alive? But there was no one to be seen.

Eliminate all the impossibilities, and that's all you have left.

She's still here, right where her parents are gone!

An pointed left and right, there are indeed many places to hide people nearby, and there are many places to hide a little girl, but the murderer must have been in the store at the time, as a professional killer, it is impossible for him not to know that there is a daughter in this store, if he really hides, how can he escape the murderer's tracking?

"Close the door and lower the curtains of the window."

The head of the guard looked at Kara, who nodded, and then agreed to do so.

As the door closed and the curtains were drawn, the light quickly dimmed, so that it was not impossible to see, but it was not possible to see too far away.

And just after the light dimmed, An Yi, who glanced left and right, saw a faint blue light behind the portrait of the goddess Saviara.

He walked over alone, and with the dragon's hand he tossed the heavy painting aside, and a safe about half a meter high appeared in front of him, embedded in the wall, like a place where the shopkeeper hid his money and valuables.

A circle of magic patterns is drawn around the safe, enclosing it like a ring.

"This is the spell of the Powerful Confusion Charm, and it has already been triggered."

Hella judged.

The Powerful Confusion Charm is an enchantment spell that obfuscates the memories of those who are hit.

It's a bit hard to understand, for example.

For example, if you have just finished eating, and you have eaten a lot, and after being hit by the powerful confusion spell, you may have forgotten that you have just eaten, and you are very puzzled why your stomach is swelling when you haven't eaten.

No matter what you think about the time it takes for a spell to take effect, you can't make a causal connection between 'you've eaten enough' and 'just eaten'.

By the way, since the player is protected by the system, this mind-changing spell is ineffective against the player.

Powerful Confusion Charms are usually placed in places where valuables are stored, after all, the best way to deal with a thief is not to find a lock that is very difficult to open, but to make the thief forget what he is doing.

An Yizhi listened to Hela's judgment and reached out without hesitation to open the door of the safe.

The door was unlocked, just hidden.

In the cold blue light that represented fear, An Yizhi saw that the little girl she had seen on the train was curled up in the safe, holding a small emotional lamp in her hand, tears kept gathering in her eyes, but she was strong and did not make any sound, nothing.

It wasn't until An Yizhi opened the cabinet door that she shrunk her neck like a frightened rabbit and turned her head to see An Yizhi.

"Big brother?"

"It's me, it's okay, you're safe."

It seemed that she saw someone she knew, which caused the little girl's psychological defense line to collapse quickly in an instant, and she almost said something in a tone that couldn't even make any sentences, but she couldn't hear it clearly, she just threw herself into An Yizhi's arms and cried vigorously, snot and tears or something stuck on his shoulder.

And An Yizhi was also abnormal, and even rubbed her hair very gently, quipping:

"Shoulders are meant to be lent to ladies."

As a result, the little girl cried even louder.

An Yizhi knew that she needed to vent well at this time, the psychological pressure of hiding in a confined space for several hours was enough to crush an adult, let alone such a young child.

After all, An Yizhi also knows what it is like to lose his parents.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The little girl cried so much that she was about to faint from the loss of too much water, and she had fallen asleep now.

Through her sobbing and intermittent narration, what happened was roughly the same as Ann had guessed, and they were attacked not long after they entered the door.

At that time, her mother was sorting out the goods in front of the shelves and preparing to open the store, and her father had just finished writing the ledger and took out the imperial sapphire from the suitcase to be stuffed into the safe for storage, waiting for the customer to pick up the goods with the final payment.

At this time, the little girl who was playing next to her father heard her mother's scream, and her father immediately told her to hide in the safe, and then she didn't know what happened.

The location of the couple's death coincides with the testimony of the little girl, the murderer killed two people in a row at a very fast speed, and when he was about to attack the little girl in the safe, he happened to trigger the powerful confusion spell on the outer ring of the safe, and directly forgot about the fact that the family had a daughter, so that she escaped.

It's impossible to tell if her father did it on purpose, or if he awakened his instinct to protect the child in a hurry, but anyway, it did save her life.

Even with this testimony, the guards blamed the serial killer for the incident, because according to the results of the audit system, the number of gems lost in the store and the number of gems left at the scene of the crime almost exactly matched.

Of course, An Yizhi didn't say anything rashly, since the results of the investigation are consistent, it is very likely that the person behind the assassin also has an inside line in the guard, and his status is not low, and he has the right to look through all the files, and only by getting accurate information can he arrange the scene by chance.

It is indeed a blessing that a little girl has unexpectedly stayed, but if An Yizhi says what she knows with a big grin at this time, she is afraid that she will also invite death.

In view of the fact that the little girl was too young and had lost her parents, the guards had only recorded some confessions, and now she was temporarily staying at the headquarters of the guards, crying too hard before, and now she is asleep.

Instructing the guards to take care of her, Ann and Kara left the guard's headquarters, and the latter asked tentatively:

"An Yizhi, are you okay?"

In Kara's impression, An Yizhi has always been a serious and joking hangman, although he is very strong, but he is not difficult to get along with.

But now his expression is simply gloomy, as if he is about to drip water, and he looks like 'Lao Tzu is very unhappy now'.

An Yi pointed and said quietly:

"I just realized that I was still a human being, and I only had the sympathy for small animals when facing strangers, but if I got along well, I would still feel sad when the other party left suddenly and forever."

"Huh?"

Kara didn't understand what he was saying.

Taking a deep breath, An pointed and said:

"Forget it, I'm fine, let's get on with business."

After speaking, he took the lead in waving his hand to the rickshaw passing by on the road, signaling him to stop.

Kara's desire to survive was still very strong, and she didn't ask if she was interested, she would never have imagined that An Yizhi was just thinking about how high the success rate would be to sweep all the nobles who had the ability to raise dead soldiers to do things with artillery bombardment mode and magic rays.
