Chapter XVII

The basement burned down very badly.

As you come down the stairs, you will find a strong smell of burnt paste.

Zhao Xuan introduced the situation as she walked, "After discovering that the ghost converter was missing, we immediately tested the entire fire scene. Although on the surface, it appeared to be an accidental fire, but after testing by the technicians of our association, it can be basically determined that it was intentional arson. The arsonist used a small timed explosive fire spell array commonly used on the black market, which exploded the power of the water dispenser in the pantry, and the biggest feature of this spell array is that the mana can spread quickly along the power line, and it will erupt every other distance with electricity, so the fire will become uncontrollable in a short period of time. Moreover, after testing, before the fire broke out, this underground layer was sprayed with hidden flame particles, and once it encountered an open flame, it broke out immediately, and the entire underground layer was turned into ashes in an instant. We suspect that at least one of the arsonists is a mage who specializes in fire spells. ”

Master Dongting, who came with Liang Tingting, spread out on the basement floor, took out all kinds of detectors he had brought with him, and began to re-survey the fire scene. And Yong Bowen's gang basically didn't know anything about detection, so they could only honestly stop at the staircase on the basement floor with Liang Tingting and watch. Only Gu Junming, a nerd, did not stop, and followed the Dongting Sect Master into the scene of the fire, looking east and west, and from time to time pinching up a small pinch of dust from the ground to observe carefully.

Liang Tingting would not be idle, and asked, "What is the situation with the two missing mages?" ”

Zhao Xuan said, "These two mages are both senior members of the association. One is called Wang Huanzhang, the other is called Lu Ruiliang, they are all veteran members, among which Wang Huanzhang was born in the Mohe Ice Plains faction, ten years ago by the Bingyuan faction recommended to join the association, these years have been living in the ice city, he opened a Mohe Ice Plains specialty store, the benefits are not bad, three years ago because of the participation in the round-up of vampires from Russia across the border to accumulate merit and promotion to the Orange Emblem member, usually low-key and kind, not very sociable. Lu Ruiliang is a disciple of our shamanic sect, and his father, Lu Xiyou, is an old man in the sect, who died of illness five years ago, and before his death, he asked the association to help arrange employment for his son. Lu Ruiliang's qualifications are mediocre, and the level of spells is low, but Lu Xiyou has made contributions to the church and the association, out of consideration for taking care of the heroes, the association will absorb Lu Ruiliang into the association, designated as a member of the silver emblem, usually responsible for logistics cleaning work in the association, he is relatively frivolous, likes to make friends, unwilling to do things, and has not been able to upgrade for ten years. ”

Liang Tingting asked again: "What criteria did you choose the mage who guarded the ghost converter according to your selection?" ”

Zhao Xuan replied: "The most important thing is that the situation is clear, the net worth is innocent, and the spell level is second. The main consideration is that this place is close to the headquarters of the Ice City Mage Association and the headquarters of the Heilongjiang Mage Association, and if something happens, the team can support at any time. A total of eight mages were selected here, all of whom were old men of the association, and they all knew their roots. Usually work in pairs and rotate in four shifts. ”

"Are the partners you usually partner all fixed?"

"It's all fixed, so it's easier to cooperate and arrange time."

"How long is it until the shift change when the fire starts?"

"Uh...... Hold on. Zhao Xuan was stopped for a moment, and turned around and whispered to a mage who followed behind him. It was a middle-aged man, in his early forties, wearing a crisp suit, gold-rimmed glasses, a briefcase tucked under his ribs, his hair was combed and slick, and it exuded a faint fragrance. From the beginning of the fight, he has been standing a little behind Zhao Xuan's left, and no matter how he moves, he always maintains this position. Hearing Zhao Xuan's inquiry, the middle-aged mage opened the briefcase, took out a printed form from it, and handed it to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan took the form and looked at it, her brows couldn't help frowning, and she handed it back to the middle-aged man, and then said to Liang Tingting: "It's about fifteen minutes before the shift." We overlooked that. It seems that Wang Huanzhang and Lu Ruiliang should have a problem. They set up the ignition to stall so that the successor mage would not immediately know that the ghost converter had been stolen by them. Guangyu immediately arranged for someone to go to Wang Huanzhang and Lu Ruiliang's house to monitor, and report as soon as there is a situation. The middle-aged man with glasses behind Zhao Xuan took out his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call.

"These two people are old people in the club, and they don't know the ...... of the ghost converter" Zhao Xuan paused, she didn't know how many people present knew about this matter, braked in time, and said, "How much can you get for stealing a ghost converter?" It doesn't make any sense at all, what's more, isn't this ghost converter a product promoted by the fish head office? As soon as it goes on sale, won't their behavior become a joke? ”

Liang Tingting said: "It's still uncertain whether it was the two accomplices or one of them who did it, let's wait for the test results to come out." Now that it's done, it's worth it for them. ”

Zhao Xuan didn't say anything anymore, took a step back, stood next to Yong Bowen, and asked in a low voice: "Yongtianshi, when I called Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu was a little annoyed, will it affect the business of the express company?" She didn't avoid any suspicions, she was very close to Yong Bowen, arm to arm, and her mouth was almost on Yong Bowen's ear.

Yong Bowen felt a burst of sweet fragrance coming to his nose, his ears were warm and itchy, and he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, and he hurriedly took a step to the side and said in a low voice: "Chairman Yu has asked to return all the ghost converters of the company and temporarily stop the express delivery business." Zhao Xuan couldn't help but be a little anxious when she heard this, "Then, the loss of the express company is huge, do you want to stop this business?" Yong Bowen nodded and said, "I probably can't do this kind of business anymore." I have already arranged for Han Ya to inform the heads of the branches in various places to personally bring the ghost converter to Spring City for a meeting, and I will directly notify Bingcheng here because I am here. Chairman Zhao ......" Zhao Xuan intercepted: "Heavenly Master, look at your name is so raw, if you are strictly speaking, I am a wage earner under you." I'll make a big deal, if you can afford me, just call me Sister Zhao. As he spoke, he leaned forward again. Yong Bowen muttered in his heart, and said secretly: "Even if you want to whisper and communicate in private, you don't have to be so close." "It's hard to say anything, Yong Bowen is not familiar with Zhao Xuan, the person in charge of the branch, if any of Han Ya, Yu Chunbing, Luo Xiaonan and Ji Leer come, they can know better than him. He coughed dryly and took a small step back, "Sister Zhao, you have to make preparations here, ordinary employees can only be dismissed, and they can pay three months' salary as compensation, and the company is responsible for this money." As for the mage employees, let them be mentally prepared, I plan to use the network of courier companies to start new business......" Zhao Xuan was happy when she heard this. In fact, the profit of the express company is not very large, for Zhao Xuan, the child, it is completely dispensable, but the significance of this express company is extraordinary, the boss of the head office is a new celestial master, and the other is the pearl of Yu Chengshi, for Zhao Xuan, this company is a link with these two young people who are destined to have a promising future. She hurriedly asked, "What kind of business do you want to start?" ”

Yong Bowen was about to answer, when he suddenly heard Gu Junming shouting: "No, no, not at all!" ”
