Chapter 156: Testing
The person who came using the Flying Charm to resist the wind was the head of foreign affairs of the Water Mansion, named Hengjing. He looked very young, only about one hundred or fifty or sixty years old, but Xingguang knew that you could not speculate on the age of someone who had entered the realm above the Netherworld. Xingguang didn't want to wait for the other party to come up and recognize someone, because he was too poorly dressed, and if he waited for the other party to come over, but went straight to his brightly dressed assistant, then both parties would be embarrassed in the end. So he took the initiative to approach him first.
Despite the mental preparation, the level of static is still beyond the expectations of the stars. The other party's words and deeds are very restrained, and anyway, Xingguang didn't let Xingguang see the other party's discrimination against his accent and clothing. Ping Jing did not have the domineering attitude of the nether nobles, nor did he have the aggressive questioning of the case as Xinghui imagined, he seemed to calmly accept the reality of the victimization of the children in the house, and actively cooperated with the police investigation. Originally, Xinghui also wanted to clarify his identity as a plenipotentiary citizen first, to offset the oppression caused by the other party's being a nobleman on the clouds. Now it seems that he is a little too worried. Through the conversation between the two sides, Starlight got a preliminary understanding of the situation in the upper reaches of the water.
Gu Pingjing introduced that the water swim is only 35 years old this year. After he entered the secluded world at the age of twenty-five, he entered the elite school to learn programming, and he was one of the most promising seedlings among the young generation who entered the secluded realm in Shuifu in recent years. He was good at macro-control thinking, and originally planned to go to an inland institution of higher learning to study programming system management after completing the elementary programming in Anlan City. In the next step, Shuifu wants to train him to become a scientific research leader and lead the large-scale talisman project of Shuifu in the future.
In the eyes of the Shuifu family, the young master in the middle stream is a gentle and elegant person, a typical school-tying child, who has always been soft-spoken in dealing with people, even if he is facing an ordinary slave, he has never shouted at him. It's hard to imagine that he would get into conflict with others, let alone that he would get into fights with others.
But no one expected that he would be killed here. Xinghui heard the hint in Hengjing's words, and the other party thought that it was likely to be the black hand of Shuifu's rivals. The purpose is to strangle the future star of the Water Mansion and take the lead in the competition of the future rune project. As for who their competitors were, Ping Jing was secretive and unclear, and asked Xingguang to find out by himself. As a person who has just returned from the Nether, Xinghui has been separated from the world of Pink Star for too long, and he can't figure out the struggle of the upper echelons of Pink Star for a while. But since the other party didn't want to say it explicitly, he didn't ask anymore, so he had to wait until he turned around and asked others.
Starlight handed the talisman string he had swam from the water to Ping Jing and asked him to unlock the other four talismans with the secret key and check how they were used. In the process of unlocking the talismans one by one, Starlight pointed to the shield talisman and asked, "Is this also the one that your house allocates to children?" ”
Heng Jing was stunned for a moment, and Xinghui immediately understood that he was a little reckless in asking, and his words carried the meaning of accusing Shui Fu of using contraband for children, so he quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse your government of acting, all I care about is the truth, and my purpose is just to solve the case." The reason why I asked this question was to wonder if this talisman was given by someone in the mansion or if the deceased got it himself. ”
Ping Jing's face softened, and he smiled and said, "It's okay. We will definitely cooperate with the police, this talisman is indeed from Shuifu, but it is registered, and Shuifu is qualified to have items of this level, so it cannot be considered contraband. We certainly don't give it to children. I think it's something that an elder lent the child to play with. With that, he had unlocked it and handed the talisman string to Starlight.
Starlight took the talisman string and said that after the talisman string was useless to the police, it would be returned to the water mansion in time. Then he asked, "Do you usually carry valuables with you in the water?" ”。
"No, it won't. The house rules of Shuifu strictly prohibit children from carrying useless and valuable ornaments. In addition to the Messenger, all spells must have a secret key, and the same goes for Money Cards. In fact, the family rules of each mansion in the cloud pavilion have this kind of regulation, which is to prevent some desperate thugs from coveting it. This is also a well-known thing on the pink star. ”
Xinghuijue's last sentence was suspected of being a dirt bun who didn't know the common sense of Pink Star, and then he introspected: "Am I a little too sensitive?" He shook his head, shook off the irrelevant thoughts, and put his mind back on the case. That is to say, the children of the nobles in the clouds are usually strictly forbidden to carry valuables that are of no practical use, and the value of the money on them is nothing more than magic charms and money cards, and these things are added with secret keys, even if others get them, because it is useless without secret keys. In other words, it is unlikely that this case is a murder for money.
Ping Jing asked if there was anything else he could do to help the police, and Xinghui said that it was all there was to do for now. So after waiting for a few servants waiting to collect the corpses, he flew back to those empty pavilions, apparently in a hurry to go back and report to the upper echelons.
Sending the level away, Starlight probed the struck rune with the winged pattern. He found out that it was a dual-purpose charm, a flying charm and an alarm charm. The area that was activated was only the part that sounded the alarm, and the flying part was not fired.
It's kind of interesting. The two spells that were fired, one was an alarm and the other was a shield, but Shuifu didn't receive the alarm at all. This indicates that the alarm emitted by the siren is blocked by the masking symbol. But both of these talismans were under the control of the deceased. Interesting!
While thinking about the talisman, Starlight walked over to the doctor, watching as the other party fiddled with various delicate detection talismans on the corpse. Finally waiting for a gap between the other party, he hurriedly asked, "Is there any preliminary result?" ”
Although this doctor is young, his business is still very unambiguous, he did not look up at all, while his hands were constantly busy, while saying: "I have just finished measuring the corpses swimming in the water, and the other two have not been measured, let me talk about the results that can be obtained so far." Both the bright body and the dark area in the upper reaches of the water have been attacked by talisman weapons, and it is obvious that this is a combat-type talisman for the purpose of killing, and the appearance of this talisman in the folk has opened my eyes. The talisman is split, and from the upper reaches of the water, it looks like ten extremely thin needles, and they attack the center behind the head from different directions, which is the key point of both the light body and the dark domain, which shows that the killer is obviously an expert. The wound on the bright body is small, but the wound in the dark domain is severe, which indicates that the charm of the talisman is very strong. The speed of the murder weapon was very fast, and the murderer's control was very precise, almost killing with one hit. So I suspect that the talisman used by the murderer was physically controlled. Oh yes, and this. As he spoke, he took out a spiritual power impact rod from his side and handed it to Starlight.
"It was found swimming under the water, crushed under his body, and I only saw it when I turned the body over."
Starlight took it and played with it, thinking, "It's another contraband." ”
"Do these three corpses have any scars from the impact of the spirit rod?"
"Nope." The doctor replied, still keeping his head down.
The spiritual power impact rod of Xing Radiant Jue did not look like the murderer's, because the murderer had a body-controlled combat talisman in his hand, so there was no need to use this kind of thing. This kind of police shock rod is mostly used to control others, mainly to make the other party lose the ability to resist, and it is not a good choice to use it to kill people. If the impact rod is not the murderer's, it can only be the three people swimming in the water.
So he fired the messenger again and asked about the level. Ping Jing said that Shuifu does not have such low-level weapons. This once again deviated from the direction of the rivals' black hands, and went in the direction of fights and brawls that Heng Jing thought was impossible.
Xinghui never presupposes a premise in the process of investigating the case, he has always advanced layer by layer according to clues, listening less to subjective assumptions and more to objective evidence. So he left Ni Renqiang to visit the neighborhood again to see if there were any witnesses who were lucky enough to exist, and he himself would go straight to the Elite Academy.
The full name of the Elite School is the Elite Academy, which is an institution that specializes in cultivating junior talents in spell programming, and in terms of enlightenment education, it is one of the best schools in the harvest continent. It is aimed at children with programming potential, the semester is ten years, and the minimum requirement for admission is that the student cannot be more than thirty-five years old, at least in the dark realm.
Spell programming is a vast and profound science, countless generations of people have conducted more than 5,000 years of research, and even now, there are millions of high-level talents above the level of the seclusion who are tirelessly exploring it. In ten years, these children who enter the school are actually enough to receive an enlightenment education, and the level of graduates can at most make up a few simple spell programs, which in society is to do some repair work on broken spells. If you really want to study large-scale spells in depth and enter the academic frontier, you must go to a university of higher learning in a big academic city like Longxiang City.
After Xinghui arrived at the school, the management staff who received him cooperated with his work and led him to the student statue hall for statue identification. The statue hall is a tall house, densely packed with latticework, and each small compartment on the shelf is the size of a palm. Xinghui came to the column of this class of graduates, checked them one by one, and after a while, found the statues of the three deceased. In addition to the water swim, the other two deceased were the children of the local wealthy family, so Xingguang asked the people from the school to notify the two families to send someone to the scene to identify the bodies, and then he used the communication charm to notify Ni Renqiang to receive and inquire about it.
According to Xingguang's request, the management of the school used the communication charm to find the students who had crossed paths with the three people in the water, and notified them to return to the school to be investigated by the police. But after everyone was busy, it was a pity that Xinghui felt that there were still many students from other places who had left Fenlan City and embarked on the journey home after the graduation ceremony.
While waiting for the students, Starlight first asked the relevant personnel at the school about the performance of the three swimmers. What he didn't expect was that the performance of the water swim in the academy was basically the same as that of the level of Jingshu. As long as those who knew him, they said that he was a humble gentleman, and he would never fight with others. The other two deceased were friends who swam in the water, and they usually behaved very well, and they were not the kind of children who were mischievous. This was a bit of a surprise to Xingguang, because young people often behave differently at home and outside, being a good child at home and being a little bully outside abounded, so he didn't really believe Ping Jing's evaluation of swimming in the water at first. Now that he has listened to the introduction of the people in the academy, he feels that the clue is once again biased to the black hand of the rival of the water house.
More than ten minutes later, the students who received the notice arrived one after another, which made Xing Guang sigh again that the quality of the masses on the pink star is really good, if it were in any country on the blue star, you wouldn't wait for a few hours, and you wouldn't see a single figure at all.
