Chapter 174: Luring the snake out of the hole
Aaron hesitated, "It's still possible if you haven't found it for a few years, but it's really unrealistic if you haven't found it for decades." Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info", but he seemed to think of his position as a police officer, and hurriedly added: "But if no one reports the crime, the National Police Agency really rarely cares about this kind of thing." ”
"Wearing this layer of skin, they are all old men. Al sarcastically replied, but then he held out three fingers, "Three possibilities, either my previous inference is wrong, or no one has really checked the nameless orphanage for decades, or nothing can be found, or it is ......", he paused, and then said: "Someone shielded that orphanage, and the police department wanted to investigate before, but it was also suppressed." ”
"No, it won't. Aaron subconsciously shouted.
"Wouldn't it?, then why did the Police Agency suddenly give up on the police department's previous investigation, with all of a sudden?", Al tilted his head, still with a faint sarcastic smile on his face.
Aaron remembered Director Scott and some rumors he had vaguely heard, and was speechless. After a moment, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "So what do we do next?"
Al waved his hand and sat down again, "What I just said is possible, not necessarily the truth, in fact, there is one easiest way to verify it. ”
"How?", Aaron was a little curious.
"Now we can know that the mysterious orphanage does not select orphans at random, but has a standard, and only a dozen or even a few out of a hundred orphans will be selected, so what are their criteria for selecting orphans?", Al did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Well, we've also looked into it, but we haven't found out. The orphans they picked out were men and women, of different ages, of different levels of health, and those who were dying of illness, so they really couldn't find much in common. ”
"I think there's a common denominator. Al said.
"Hey, what is it?", Aaron was a little suspicious, and a little disbelieving, so many police officers couldn't find out, and this one could find out?
"I asked the orphanage directors because they were the only ones who paid attention to the personality and behavior of the adopted children, and came to the conclusion that the adopted children were those who were very sensitive on a daily basis, in other words, those who had good instincts. ”
"Intuition?", Aaron was surprised to hear the word.
Al nodded, "Yes, the instinct, like the little animals you've raised are dying, the weather is fine but it's going to rain soon, and so on. ”
"And this keen intuition reminds me of a gift, elemental perception. ”
"Elemental perception?", Aaron repeated, apparently he hadn't heard the term.
"To put it bluntly, it's the gift of becoming a mage. Al explained bluntly.
"The gift of being a mage!", Aaron shouted, obviously surprised, "could it be that the orphanage adopted orphans to train mages!"
Al shook his head, "It's not so easy to train a mage. He kind of recalled how difficult it was for Medea to help him develop elemental perception, and he was ready to die.
After pondering for a while, he came back to his senses, "If my guess is correct, then I can use this to lure the messenger of this mysterious orphanage out of the hole by luring the snake out of the hole and catching it, what can't I ask at that time?"
So, in Aaron's right inspector general's room, Al said the arrest plan, and Aaron checked and filled in the gaps, and slowly the whole plan was perfected.
......
During this time, in the Hileven district of Shenghui City, which was usually like a backwater, and in this area where a large number of civilians gathered, there was a rumor that it was like the wind, blowing this lifeless backwater.
"Did you hear that, Viali, that old woman, didn't she run an orphanage?"
"It's the immoral woman who gave birth to a child and didn't have a child, and she had sores on her back and pus on the soles of her feet, wasn't her orphanage specially used to deceive people? It is said that the children she adopted were sold to work as coolies. ”
"Haha, that old woman, where did the man give birth to her, but don't say it, this old lady doesn't know what kind of good person she was in her last life, and there is now a genius in her orphanage. ”
"What kind of genius? can carry hundreds of pounds of sacks on one arm? Or can you read and write, which big man has taken a fancy to?"
"Phew, what is reading and writing, those stewards trained by the masters, who can't read and write, I heard that I, this time in Vialli's orphanage, there is a genius who can be a mage!"
"Mage, it's really fake, we can still come out of this place. Although I really don't understand what kind of big man the mage is, who hasn't heard of the legend of the mage, and now I heard that there may also be a mage in this Helivan district, and I suddenly raised my head with my chest, and I was honored and honored.
In the hearts of the commoners of Helivan, a high-ranking figure like a mage must have been born from the noble lords of Hawley District, or even from a wealthy family in Manny District, and now there may be one in an orphanage in Helivan, how can these civilians not be excited.
This is the so-called lack of knowledge, so to say that the people are stupid and stupid, it does not mean that the people are inherently stupid, but that the people are not educated enough and have no knowledge, just like these commoners, who think that the mage's background must be rich and noble, and how do they know that if they want to become a mage, they can see that it is their own talent, and it has nothing to do with wealth, power, and so on.
It is also like a country on the earth, where people are moved by the wind and listen to rumors, such as one day when the Internet says that there is a shortage of salt, people flock to buy salt, and the supermarkets are all out of stock. There is no doubt that in a complex human society, the amount of information mastered has a decisive role in a person's decision, and this is still the case in the era of the information explosion with the Internet, not to mention such a closed and backward world.
So it spread ten, ten and hundred, and the rumor that there was a mage genius in the orphanage spread throughout the Helivan district in just a few days, and people talked about it with relish, and from time to time they added oil and vinegar, and after a while, even the rumor that this child was a rare genius in a hundred years came out.
This rumor alarmed even the nobles of Hawley and the wealthy merchants of Manny, and from time to time people approached Vialli's orphanage in the past few days, hoping to meet the legendary genius.
