After listening to Sophie's words, Leo was silent for a moment, motioned for Sophie to leave, and after closing the door, he sat down at the table, put on his glasses, and wrote and drew on the paper on the table.

Although the rumors about the flower shop in District 27 sound unreasonable, and more like a similar industry in District 23 deliberately spreading rumors and slandering the reputation of the flower shop, if you think about it, this matter really has nothing to do with the flower shop?

If there was only one rumor, Leo might believe it was a man-made rumor, but when Sophie mentions that the prostitute named Melinda was carrying a valuable trinket before she disappeared, then things don't get that simple.

According to the books I read before, the silver shell is a unique shellfish produced in Silver Moon City, usually staying in the lake, only at a certain time will climb ashore, the shell also hardens after drying and fades from the silver shell, the silver shell will also regrow a new shell, and the fading shell is the jeweler's favorite high-end jewelry raw material.

The reason why the jeweler likes silver shell as a jewelry material very much is because in the process of jewelry refining, if some silver shell powder is added, the jewelry will be as good as new forever, and after absorbing enough moonlight, it will naturally emit a soft light, so that the wearer has an indescribable and inexplicable hazy beauty.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of the silver shell, coupled with the fact that it produces very little, so that the price difference between a piece of the same jewelry, plus or without silver shell powder, is ten times the price difference, even in the town of the seventh lake, there are only a handful of nobles who have silver shell jewelry and are so generous that they will give it away casually without attracting attention. The seventh Olcott family is counted as one, and the Novitsky family, which occupies the second place, is considered the second, and as for the other noble families, whether they are rich or wealthy, they are not half a star worse than these two noble families.

Now, it just so happens that a qualified and wealthy heir of the Novitsky family who will give away Yinbei jewelry at will is also dead, and after his death, he was disguised as a murderer, and Leo feels that there must be a connection no matter how he looks at it. He also found himself in the security department's morgue where his speculations seemed incorrect, or more accurately, incomplete, and that there must have been family infighting, but there might have been other reasons besides family infighting that killed the Novitzki heir.

"He can't really fall in love with a prostitute, right?" a bold but very likely guess popped into Leo's head.

If the heir of the Novitsky family really falls in love with that Melinda, then if Melinda has an accident, he will definitely start to investigate, with the ability of the Novitsky family, it should not be too difficult to find out the clues of these murders, so that he will become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh that the murderer must get rid of.

Thinking of this, Leo muttered, "It seems that the flower shop in the twenty-seventh district is still the key." ”

"Bang, Bang, Bang!" At this time, there was a sudden knocking sound outside the window of this room, and Leo's spiritual network found that there was a large group of elven rats with large and small packages on their bodies hidden on the eaves outside, but he did not find the figure of the Duke of White Boots, but from the direction of the gaze of those elven rats and the direction of their bodies, he could analyze that the Duke of White Boots should be standing by the window.

Leo walked to the window and opened it, only to see the Duke of White Boots, who could shield the detection of the spirit net, standing by the window, raising his hand, ready to bang on the window again.

"I'm sorry, I'm not too quick to disturb you!" said the Duke of the White Boots, who hurriedly saluted Leo.

"No interruption, come in!" Leo stepped aside and found a plank from the side and placed it on the edge of the window, forming a slope.

"Thank you. The Duke of White Boots was very grateful for Leo's careful care, and after thanking Leo, he squeaked twice at the rats that were climbing on the eaves behind him, and the rats immediately walked down the small eaves aisle in an orderly manner, walked down the slope, put the package on the ground, and then went back around the road to replace the next one into the house.

Seeing this, Leo sat down at his desk and waited for the other party to transport the items to the house one by one that he was going to bring to the house for his selection.

Although the Duke of the White Boots didn't show it, Leo could still tell from some of his actions that he didn't trust himself very much, and that he was terrified of the house full of traps. That's why it doesn't enter the house itself, but lets its men pretend to carry the goods, enter the house first, and check the situation in the house.

When each elven rat enters the house, it places its goods in a different position, and then walks back from another route, and this obvious tentative action fully reveals its thoughts and purposes, and it is not yet aware of it.

Leo didn't say anything about the Duke of the White Boots, but pretended not to find anything, and sat quietly waiting for all the items to come in.

It wasn't long before forty-three objects about the size of a fist had been sent to the room, and it was then that the Duke of the White Boots walked into the room with a little relief, and although it seemed to be walking with ease, its almost straight tail showed its nervousness.

Leo picked up the five high-energy substances from the table, walked to the side of the White Boot Duke, sat cross-legged on the ground, put the high-energy substance in his hand in front of the White Boot Duke, and said, "That's what you want, right?"

"Yes, yes! When the Duke of White Boots saw the item he urgently needed, the timidity in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he flew to one of the pieces of high-energy substance that was half the size of it, and hugged it tightly, fearing that this thing would disappear from his eyes, and sniffed vigorously on it, as if he was smelling something strange.

"Take it easy, no one will rob you. Leo couldn't help but smile and said when he saw such an exaggerated behavior of this wise elf mouse.

"Who's going to rob my baby!" Leo's words seemed to give the Duke of White Boots a great stimulus, and he saw him jump up and stand on top of the largest high-energy substance, draw the toothpick sword at his waist, and look around with a wary expression.

When he saw that there was only Leo around, and Leo looked at him with a smile on his face, the Duke of White Boots realized that he had made a big joke, and quickly put away his sword, lowered his head in embarrassment, and said to Leo: "Mr. Dodd, I'm sorry! I was so nervous just now, after all, this thing is very important to me." ”

Leo smiled and said, "Duke of the White Boots, you are not a qualified businessman, you have revealed all your hole cards at once, if I am greedy for all your trading goods, I am afraid you can only agree." ”

"Ahh ”

"Never sink into human greed, sometimes human beings will behave noble and fair, just because the price is not enough, and when the price is right, even the noble person will become shameless and lowly. Leo seemed to think of something, and his tone of voice was slightly sentimental, but this emotion quickly dissipated, and before the Duke of White Boots fully understood the meaning of these words, he pointed to the pile of trading objects, and said, "Let's wait for the number of exchanges, five for five, hoping to find five things that will be useful to me from these things." ”

"I'm here to help you. The Duke of the White Boots ran over very aggressively and hugged the nearest package and delivered it to Leo, and then hugged the high-energy substance.

"You don't have to do it, I'd better do it myself!" Leo said as he unwrapped the fist-sized package in front of him and looked at the contents.

I saw that the package was a beautiful ornament, which could be seen to be very precious, and it should have been carefully selected by the Duke of White Boots according to human habits, but it was a pity that this thing was useless to Leo.

Seeing Leo wrap things up again, the Duke of White Boots was a little frustrated, but quickly regained his spirits and urged: "Look at the others, look at the others, there must be something you like inside." ”

Leo motioned to the Duke of White Boots not to be impatient, and reached out to untie these small packages one by one, most of the packages were valuables such as jewelry, none of which Leo wanted, and in the end, there were only three items that interested Leo, because these three items were psionic items.

From the Turing root on the item, it can be seen that the three items should be the remnants of a set of psionic items, and there are obvious traces of destruction on the items, which are not damaged by cold weapons, but more like some kind of laser, high-beam ion and other high-energy weapons made of damage traces, it happens that Leo is very familiar with this kind of damage marks, and can be recognized at a glance.

Leo took the three psionic objects whose original shape could not be discerned, and looked at them carefully, and found that there were some small words on the fragments, which he had never seen before, like an extremely old cuneiform script.

"Well, what's going on?" Leo put the text on the fragment into the database, and then compared the language he had learned to see if he could find the pattern, but then he suddenly could, as if he had found something amazing, and the realization fell on the tablet again, and the look on his face was a little more surprised.

Leo's sudden look of surprise was due to the fact that he realized that he didn't need to wear special glasses to be able to read words.

He had tried many times before, and found that as long as it was an ordinary word, no matter what kind of script was written, who wrote it, even if he wrote some words himself, all the words were blurry and chaotic without wearing special glasses, and only the Gamoree language with magical powers was immune to this interfering power.

"Is this also a Gamoree language?" Leo wondered in his heart, and then the results of the analysis and comparison of the paracerebral system also came out, and showed it in Leo's eyes.

It can be seen that, according to the linguistic structure, 97 percent of this wedge-shaped font is Blogu, a type of Frankic language that has long since been withdrawn from the main language system because it is only spoken by the indigenous people of the Bloc Mountains.

However, because this language is the source of all the wedge-shaped fonts in the Franque language family, it has been studied so that this language is relatively well preserved in all the Franque language families, and the main grammatical structures and a few alphabetic words have been preserved.

After seeing the analysis of the parabrain system, Leo immediately realized that these three sets of psionic item fragments were probably from the Veron world, so he could see these words clearly without using special glasses. And judging from the use of this text, it is likely that this item was brought into this dream world by wizards or other people who use psionic energy in the world of Velen a long time ago.

"Where did you find these three things?" asked Leo as he placed the three fragments of psionic items in front of the Duke of the White Boots.

The Duke of White Boots was also very happy to see that Leo was interested in the three items he brought, and when he heard the inquiry, he quickly jumped in front of Leo, looked carefully at the three fast fragments, and quickly remembered the origin of the three fragments, and the mouse also showed a serious look on his face.

"Is this important to you, Mr. Dodd?" asked the Duke of White Boots in a deep voice.

Leo responded, "It's not important, it's just useful to me." ”

The Duke of the White Boots hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a good time with you, so I don't want to cause you any harm because of this transaction." I was so busy packing my things that I didn't notice that I took out these three things that shouldn't have been taken out, and you might get into trouble with them, or even ......"

"Don't worry about me, I'm not going to have any trouble. Leo could hear that the Duke of the White Boots was genuinely worried about his safety, perhaps more because he didn't want to lose a suitable trader, but he still accepted the favor and smiled and relieved.

Seeing that Leo didn't take his warning seriously, the Duke of White Boots was a little anxious and wanted to end the transaction, but its eyes fell on those few pieces of high-energy matter, but it hesitated, and struggled in its heart for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of those few pieces of high-energy matter, and told the origin of the three fragments and said: "They are all from the wizarding tower of the first chief of the wizarding association." ”

Hearing this answer, Leo couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that these things collected by the Duke of White Boots would involve a big man like the First Chief Wizard.

Perhaps having already said it, the Duke of the White Boots had no worries and continued, "This thing was stolen from the treasure vault of the First Chief Wizard Tower. At that time, someone had infiltrated the treasure vault to steal something, and then the magic puppet guards of the wizarding tower were alarmed, and those puppet guards went after the thief, so I sneaked into the treasure vault and stole three random things that I could afford. Later, the First Chief Wizard put the entire Silvermoon City under martial law, saying that the thief had stolen something very important and wanted to find the thief. However, I knew very well that the thief had not actually taken anything before the magic golem guards found it, and the only thing missing from the treasure vault was the three pieces I had taken. ”

After listening to the White Boots Duke's account, Leo suddenly said without a clue, "Are you the pet of the First Chief?"

The Duke of White Boots was stunned when he heard this, and then as if he had heard something disgusting, he shook his head again and again, and said, "How can I be that bad old man's pet?" This is simply an insult to me, if it weren't for the fact that you are not bad, I would definitely duel with you now, and use your blood to wash my reputation." ”
