Chapter Ninety-Eight: Blue-Collar Mage Na Li Mu

The largest fire in the history of the Genglao Noble District was finally extinguished after about a month and a half after the fire started, all thanks to the help of the mage.

Hearing that Funa Gafendom's mansion was on fire, the other two nobles who were guarded by the Sleeve Mage quickly brought the Sleeve Mage to help put out the fire - not that they had a good relationship on a daily basis, but that if they chose to stand by in this situation, whether or not Funa's life was threatened, their image and reputation in the aristocratic circle would be greatly damaged.

Sleeve Mages can only use basic elemental spells, but they can play a far better role than ordinary manpower, one uses earth spells to limit and compress the combustible parts by collapsing and separating, and the other uses water spells to draw water jets from the well in the house and shoot them into flames. Why do you want to pump water from wells? Know that water spells don't create water out of thin air, they only manipulate water elementals. If it weren't for the fact that there was a well in the courtyard, the water spell wouldn't even be useful.

In short, the fire had been extinguished before the order arrived with a large number of men, but the three-story mansion was only one floor left, except for the corner where Funa's bedroom was located.

Although the two sleeve mages helped extinguish the fire, they did not dare to search the ruins, not because they were afraid of any danger, but because they were afraid of getting into some unclear trouble, anyway, even if someone was in this building, they would not be spared at the moment.

Of course he knew the identity of the owner of this mansion, and he didn't care about other affairs at the moment, so he hurriedly sent his subordinates to search in the ruins.

After more than two years of searching, a total of two bodies were found, one was the old butler who had collapsed in Funa's bedroom, and the other was burned a little unrecognizable, but it was certain to be a man.

Although the dead were all men, Yu Ling was not relieved at all—no one in the house saw Funa Jia Fenduomo.

The order immediately expanded the search area to the entire aristocratic district, but by the time dawn, nothing had been found. At this time, the order did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately reported to the court officials with a pigeon, and sent someone to inform Joao Academy, and of course, the most important thing was to report to Funa Mu Kafen Tamo's father, Kafen Tamo Sakaishou.

He was absolutely reluctant to do this, it was too easy to fall victim to Sakaishou's anger, so after knowing that Funa's whereabouts were unknown, his first thought was to get people back and keep the situation within a small range, preferably after it was fully dealt with before reporting to Sakaishou. However, the development of events was not as he expected, and he could not delay and conceal it at this time, otherwise if Funa really made any mistakes, he would not be able to bear the responsibility of delaying the rescue.

The night's tossing in the aristocratic district naturally affected the Fei Lin family, but before the subordinates of the Yuan Ling came to the door, Ao Zongheng had already thoroughly understood Fei Lin in advance. As for Piganbo, it's not that he doesn't trust him, it's just that he has to be responsible for more of the response, and for this honest man, being kept in the dark may be less likely to be peeked at.

Fei Lin was shocked by his arrogant behavior, and it was difficult to accept, after all, he was still a twelve-year-old boy, and killing people was not unacceptable to him who had a group general father, but because of a friction that was not even a conflict, he killed a senior sister, he never thought about this kind of thing, let alone Funa, even if it was the little Liuya Zazha he hated the most, he really gave Fei Lin a knife and let him kill the little Liuya Zaza, and guaranteed that there was no other trouble, he probably couldn't do it.

But Ao Zongheng didn't see it that way, he wasn't a murderer, Funa wasn't the youngest person he had ever killed, not even the youngest girl, but if it wasn't for Felin, Ao Zongheng would never have killed her.

Compared with Xiaoliuya Zaza, Funa may pose a lot of threats, not that she has more hatred for Feilin, but she has the ability to be unfavorable to Feilin - her family can be at least half of the lord of this land, and the Liuya Zaza family, whose family is based in the military and political department of the imperial capital, obviously cannot be compared with it.

Therefore, according to Ao's original idea, he planned to use the Heart Lake Sutra in exchange for the cooperation with Funa and the Jia Fen Duomo family behind him, on the condition that before Fei Lin became a mage, he would ensure that he would not be harmed by an enemy like Flowing Tooth Zaza, he believed that for a large family, the Heart Lake Sutra was definitely worth this price.

But Funa disappointed him so much that Austein quickly concluded that it wasn't an unreliable trade partner, but until the time he threw her out of the courtyard wall, Austein had no murderous intent on her. It was only with the undisguised hatred that Funa had left that he decided to follow her home for safety—he didn't want to leave Fehrin with a dangerous curse.

There is no need to repeat what happened next, in short, he completely eliminated the potential threat from Funa, and at the same time pointed this unexpected "suspicion" to another potential threat to Ferrin - Xiaoliuya Zaza and his best friend.

Yesterday afternoon, however, at least a hundred people saw that Funa had taken a stand out for Felin and had driven away the little tooth Zaza's sworn friend, and if Sakai had investigated the murderer first, Felin would have been much less suspicious than the little guy Zaza's accomplices.

As long as no one knows about the friction between the two in Felin's mansion, it is unlikely that Felin will be suspected.

In fact, looking back, Ao Zongheng's attack this time was really not very thorough, but he was not a killer who was good at observing and arranging, and he was in a hurry and had no other helpers, so he could only do this. Anyway, if he is really approached by Sakaishou, Aozong also has absolute confidence that he can leave here safely with Fei Lin and Pigenpo.

As for Fei Lin's incomprehension of himself, Ao Yue didn't explain much, a nobleman who was removed from the list did not have a strong strength to back him up, if he couldn't figure out that protecting himself was the priority, then don't do anything to daydream about reviving the family, it's good to be a farmer in An'an.

Proud of the fact that Fei Lin himself can figure it out.

But he didn't expect that Funa did not die in a "fire accident", but disappeared.

How could Funa, who had been gagged and limbs in the acupuncture points, disappear in that fire? To say that the corpse was burned to the ground, but the bodies of the butler and the sleeve mage are still there, and that is the sleeve mage was naturally brought over by Aozhu later-this person knows that there has been friction between the two sides, and he can't keep it, and he can't take it for his own use, so he can only be "killed by accident".

Aozong couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't ask the Ringwraith, who was very strongly opposed to Aozong's attempt to kill Funa, and she couldn't accept this act of killing women, especially underage women, and after her opposition was ineffective, she chose to disappear. Ao Zongheng called out with his recitation of the heart method, and she didn't come out.

On the other hand, after reporting to the top, the commander did not dare to waste time waiting for instructions, but immediately began two new investigations - to investigate the cause of the fire, and to investigate who might be bad for Funa Gafendomo.

It sounds ridiculous, but before the cause of the fire is determined, we are looking for people with reasons to do it in the direction of arson, but no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

The first investigation quickly came to fruition, the fire started in the kitchen, the firewood was ignited, and the wind helped the fire, although it was not the north wind season, but the people who were at the scene that night said that the wind was quite obvious for a while. In short, there is no clear evidence of arson.

Although this is the case, this is not enough to justify the suspension of the second investigation, and the second investigation also broke through quickly, as Ao Zongheng expected, the answer to the end, who had been stopped by Funa the afternoon before the incident, became the most suspicious people.

However, the investigation will stop here for the time being, because those few aristocratic students are all in Joao Academy, and the order has no right to ask the Joao branch to cooperate, and more importantly, the family situation of those who are behind is not bad, and people are not good at doing it alone in Zario Sakai, but there is no pressure to deal with their own small order. That's why he won't be at the forefront of this matter, and he believes that Sakaishou's people should be coming soon.

Sure enough, on the third day after Funa's disappearance, Sakai's people came, and there were about fifty people, led by the blue-collar mage Na Li Mu, whom Funa had wanted to borrow from her father. Combined with the men who arrived a little earlier, there were more than 70 people from other places who came for this matter alone.

The first thing Master Li Mu did after arriving was to camp in the open space in the aristocratic quarter, while he himself was on the edge of the camp under construction, listening to the report of the Yuan Ling and others.

"There has to be a breakthrough from João. Li Mu quickly made a judgment.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Mu visited the Joao branch as Sakai's special envoy. To this blue-collar mage, Vice Dean Nie Ertu, who was in charge of the reception, expressed appropriate courtesy, but for Na Li Mu's request to take away several law students such as Answer Mo for questioning, Vice Dean Nie Ertu clearly refused, on the grounds that in the case of not convicting the law students, the Law Academy has the responsibility to protect the students in the academy, which is a thousand-year-old tradition in the world of Prosez's magic. However, Vice Dean Nie Ertu also proposed that the college considered that the missing person was also a student of the college, so it specially allowed Master Li Mu to question several students in the dean's building.

What Vice Dean Nie Ertu said was the truth, and the college did not intend to help shield any party, but for that Li Mu, this arrangement of the college was unacceptable to him - how could many of the methods brought out for inquiry be made in the dean's building?

Then Li Mu also knew that the backstage of these students was not necessarily much worse than that of Jia Feng Duo Mo Sakaishou, although his own home advantage, but forcing these people to unite, Sakai Shou also had a headache, and the biggest advantage that his own family currently has is the time difference. Before leaving, Kafen Tamo Sakai emphasized to him that it was necessary to find out the truth as soon as possible, and confirm the suspicion of these people before the other family resorted to protective measures, then their parents would not be able to overturn the sky no matter how powerful they were—in the power field of the empire, if neither of the two sides of the conflict had the strength to crush the other, then it was time to start reasoning

Therefore, Li Mu took advantage of the rank of a blue-collar mage, and even moved out of the signboard of the Hu Ermu family, intending to forcibly subdue the Qiao Branch.

Vice Dean Nie Ertu, a small purple-sleeved mage, is of course impossible to resist this wave of pressure, but isn't there still Dean Jia Panzan, if you want to say that the dean is really responsible, and the rank does not suffer losses, he directly proposed, "If you want to lead people away, it's okay, it's either the Teaching and Research Department of the Legal Affairs Department, or the Academic Affairs Department, please come to any of them, and I'll release them when I see the text." ”

Let's not talk about the Legal Management Department, the Ministry of Education is the top boss of all the colleges and universities in the empire, although it is not the top department in the God Capital, but it is definitely not something that the head of Jiafen Duomo Sakai can easily invite.

Faced with this soft nail, Li Mu could only leave for the time being and find another way, and at this time, someone reported to him an exciting new clue.
