Chapter 517: A Genius's Handwriting?

Graven Lux was not born in a free city, this man with an aristocratic bearing is a prodigal son of a noble family in a certain country on the mainland, because he does not intend to inherit the family business and is keen on various adventure activities to solve the mystery and was expelled from the house, after coming to the free city, Graven's specialty has played a lot of role here, after solving several murders and mystery cases in a row, Graven gradually became a celebrity in the hands of the city security team and many high-level people in charge of the city.

For those in power at the top of the Free Metropolis, they need a tool that can uncover a single unsettling factor that could implicitly threaten their dominance. Graven was perfectly qualified for this job, and various assassination cases against the upper districts continued to be solved, and some merchants and nobles who tried to squeeze into the upper districts were also found out and completely lost their status in the free city. In addition to having a commendable ability, Graven's attitude of only being obsessed with his hobby of solving cases and not caring about some things that should not be taken care of also makes the high-level authorities very reassuring, and every time the security team selectively asks Graven to assist in the investigation of the case under the instruction of the high-level, only investigating cases that will threaten the ruling power of the high-level bigwigs, and some of the things committed by these bigwigs will naturally not appear in front of Graven's eyes.

Sometimes some people think that the investigator has actually been bought to become a lackey, but for Graven, he is not interested in distinguishing between right and wrong, his only interest is to solve those difficult cases, and pull out the prisoner who originally thought he was doing flawlessly from the shadows, and when the other party bows his head in front of him in frustration, he will have a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart!

And today Graven felt his blood boiling, he hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, and the last case that made his blood boil was two years ago when he cracked an operation in the western part of the continent that the Holy Capital tried to destroy the slave areas of the free city. That time, the other party's one-by-one strategy and strict division of labor even made him feel tricky, but in the end, the other party still lost a little to himself!

"This is a case from half a month ago. The Golden Moonlight Jewelry Store was burglarized, but the magic array was not ineffective but destroyed┉┉ The next thing is that the bank vault was ransacked, and the modus operandi was exactly the same as last time, and the magic array was also destroyed┉┉" Graven is still meticulously marking the map, but this time the mark is not the area of the warehouse arson suspect activity that was deduced before, this is already in another urban area of Free City. It was four or five blocks away from the arsonist's activities.

After making a mark, Graven couldn't help but look at the map and pondered, although they were all burglary cases, but compared to the arson suspects who seemed to be able to avoid being discovered by the magic array, the criminals in the cases of jewelry store and bank theft completely destroyed the entire magic circle, it was a complete and complete destruction, and the mages in charge of checking each shook their heads helplessly and said that they could not find any information from the destroyed magic circle. You must know that the magic array is a part of the destruction, and the rest of the part can be recorded as destroyed, and this kind of magic array used for store destruction has to find out each node little by little and destroy it to the point that it is completely irreparable, which is a very laborious thing. The perpetrator may have the leisure to slowly destroy the circle while stealing!

And this is another puzzle of Gravin!

Initially, Graven thought that the cases were committed by the same person, but a closer comparison would have been between the two people. One can block the magic array at will, and the other can directly and completely destroy the magic array, I have to say that the common thing these two prisoners have in common is that they both have a wealth of knowledge about the magic array. And they are all very bold and reckless, and they dare to be so bold and repeatedly in a free city.

"However, compared to arson suspects, although the number of crimes committed by the perpetrators of jewelry theft is relatively concentrated for a period of time, it seems that it has stopped recently, and there is no news of similar cases. ”

Graven scratched his hair and analyzed the situation, now I don't know if the two suspects are related, from the marks on the map, it seems that the range of activities of the jewelry thief is a bit incredible, almost including several urban areas of the Free City. Although the word teleportation immediately popped into Graven's mind. But Graven wasn't sure, if there were too many magical things involved, it would be up to the jurisprudence to decide.

I just don't know if these two prisoners will be accomplices!

At this time, a member of the security team walked in from outside the door, and the two of them brought a piece of news. Several high-ranking magicians belonging to Miss Yunochia, one of the Big Three of Free City, have arrived at the scene to investigate, and the person in charge of the scene invited Graven to come over and listen to the investigation.

Graven picked up the hat hanging on the hanger and put it on his head: "Then let's not waste time. ”

The road to the warehouse area is heavily guarded, and the guard gate of the warehouse area is several times more powerful than before, and even the magicians have continuously used detection magic to ensure that not even a single mouse can slip in. However, Graven believes that this is purely redundant, and that it is impossible for the prisoner to run back to the scene of the crime and hit the muzzle of the gun, at least today. Although the atmosphere seems tense, the warehouse area is as busy as ever today. It's even busier than usual. Merchants, porters, investigators, guards, and security officers have put a lot of pressure on the staff in the warehouse area, and almost all of their vacations have been canceled because of the fire incident, and everyone is busy verifying the identity of those who have entered the warehouse area.

"Don't worry, the warehouse belonging to our Chamber of Commerce is safe. ”

"It has been verified that this fire did not affect the warehouses of our Chamber of Commerce. ”

After the news of the fire in the warehouse area spread, many chambers of commerce worried that their goods would also be damaged sent staff to check the situation. In front of the neat warehouses, the burned-out warehouses belonging to Sir Philipus were now in ruins, and they looked as if they had been burned with ugly scars on a beautiful picture scroll.

"We have arrived at Mr. Graven. ”

Immediately after the carriage arrived at its destination, a member of the security team stepped forward and took the initiative to open the door, and when he stepped out of the carriage, the corners of Graven's mouth twitched, because there would be six high-level mages at the scene at the same time, judging from the insignia they were wearing, all of them belonged to the mages under Miss Yunojia, and the highest level of them had reached level 18.

Although it was already known which Miss Yunogia, one of the three most prestigious in the Free City, controlled more than eighty percent of the magic institutions in the Free City, the fact that this fire could send so many high-level mages to serve was really admirable for this young lady's ability to reach the sky.

"Master Farakent, this is Mr. Graven, the investigating officer of the vigilante. ”

The old mage gestured to the members of the security team not to disturb him, and Graven didn't mind the mage's attitude, just stood quietly and waited.

It took about half an hour for Farakent to stand up: "An hour and a half, even if I know the inner structure of the circle, it would take so long to unlock this lock, and the perpetrator took less than five minutes to unlock four locks one by one each time. Mr. Graven ~ Do you know what that means?"

"Someone leaked the password, and the managers in the warehouse area needed to do a big check. Graven had lit his pipe and smoked.

Farakent shook his head and turned around and said, "It's useless to just know the code, and you can't open the magic lock without a special key, and these locks were honestly stayed where they were supposed to be that night and were not taken." The other party must have used a new way to unlock the lock without damaging the lock. ”

"But maybe you can also use teleportation or something~ so that you can go directly into the warehouse. ”

Farakent sighed, but there was a strange excitement in his tone: "This has also been considered, but the protective circle in the warehouse area should be able to detect teleportation spells, as long as the other party uses them, they will be detected immediately." ”

"The suspect is obviously a master of the magic circle, maybe he has a new way to use the teleportation technique without hiding the protection circle┉┉"

"Yes!

Farakent suddenly shouted excitedly, startling Graven, who was still analyzing the situation: "Whether it's shielding the detection of the magic circle or paralyzing the entire protective circle without triggering the alarm, I think this person must be a genius who has been immersed in the magic world for decades!!A truly unparalleled genius!!"

"But he didn't use his talents for his journey, and I think Master Lackent that we should first find this genius and take him accountable for his actions. ”

"You don't understand anything at all!" Farakent shook his head and said excitedly. The magical talent he possesses is a priceless treasure, if there really is a teleportation technique that can penetrate the protective circle in his hands, now this loss is nothing compared to the value of this genius itself, we will find him, no matter what, I need to know what method he used to shield the protective circle, how he was able to open a magic lock in a few minutes, or how he was able to use teleportation spells within the scope of the protective circle, I have too many questions to ask him!”

Okay~ Graven sighed, seeing the excitement of this level 18 mage like a pilgrim, Graven knew that it was impossible to count on these mages to help him catch people. (To be continued......)
