Chapter 14: The Theft of the Blacksmith's Guild in Fenerport
"Miss Rhaenys......" Agnes tried to say something, but was interrupted by Rhaenys.
"Just call me Rhaenys." Rhaenys waved her hand and said with a smile.
"Well, Rhaenys, the rest of the people in this restaurant......" Agnes asked with some hesitation.
"Ah, some of them are Nature's Heart clerical staff, and some are ordinary researchers at the Institute." Rhaenys replied with a smile.
"Is it true that the captain is talking to you about the mission in front of ordinary researchers, and that is not a violation of the rules of secrecy?" Agnes asked, a little surprised.
"They've either experienced extraordinary events, or they're very good, and they're candidates for extraordinary people in the church, and they've all signed confidentiality contracts. And in fact, what we reported to the captain earlier was only a routine report on the less urgent matters at hand, and the really important things must still go to the captain's office, and we can't let people who don't have relevant authority know. Rhaenys said casually.
Agnes nodded.
Zag leaned over and asked Rhaenys, "Rhaenys, do you want to make a bet?" ”
"Bet on what?" Rhaenys asked with interest.
"Just bet on how long Nygarda and Alyssa can quarrel today." Zag said with some excitement, and then was slapped on the head by Damo.
"What to bet on, there's a little girl here!" Damo grabbed Zag and smiled a little awkwardly at Agnes:
"Little Agnes, if you have any questions about ritual magic and divination, you can come to the library to find me, I'll take Zag to the laboratory first, his data today has not been recorded."
Damor dragged Zag away, and Agnes could still hear Zag saying something disgruntled, "You're my cousin, not my father," and Dammer seemed to say viciously, "Shut up, aren't you ashamed enough?" ”
Rhaenys said with a smile next to her: "Damo and Zag are distant relatives, but Zag's home was not far from Dag's house when he was a child, and his parents were busy, and Damo would sometimes help them take Zag, so Damo sometimes couldn't help but worry more about Zag's affairs." ”
Agnes nodded and said, "Damo looks just like Zag's father. ”
When Pierce heard Agnes's words, he couldn't help but laugh beside him: "Zag heard your words, and I guess I have the heart to strangle Damo." ”
Agnes couldn't help but smile a little.
Pierce hesitated, scratched his head, and said, "Although it's a little offensive, I heard that the sequence you're in is also the kind that strengthens the body, I think, when it's convenient for you, can we have a discussion?" ”
"Pierce! Agnes only has Sequence Nine! Alyssa, who was still arguing with Nicada just now, turned her head and said loudly.
"I'll be careful not to hurt her." Pierce said nervously waving his hand.
"I don't think it's the right time to compete with you until she's promoted to Sequence Eight." Alyssa said, then turned her head and pulled Agnes up.
"Agnes, it's time for us to go, you need to know what you're going to do next."
Agnes looked back at the three of them, Nygarda shrugged helplessly and shook her head at Agnes, Rhaenys seemed to sigh helplessly, and Pierce looked like she had been struck.
......
Alyssa's office is on the third floor, and there is only one room number at the door, and there is no other sign.
Alyssa picked up the key and opened the door, and the room was divided into two parts, the inside seemed to have been converted into a reference room, while the outside looked like a normal office, with a desk, a chair, and a sofa.
Alyssa Angnes poured a glass of water and said, "You sit down first, and I'll go get the information on the case I have at present." ”
Agnes sat down on the couch with a glass of water in her hand, and Alyssa walked into the room, and it took about three or four minutes to come out, with a file bag in her hand.
"There are roughly two cases that I have taken on so far, one of which is an internal matter of the church, and you do not have the authority to know about it at the moment; The other is the theft case that I reported to the captain earlier involving the thief's extraordinary person, you see, I'll tell you the case. ”
"On Feb. 13, the Fenerport City Blacksmiths' Guild reported to the police station that someone had stolen their belongings the night before. They lost 10,000 gold in cash in a safe. The safe was locked in the captain's office that night, guarded by three or four big men, none of whom saw the thief, and there was no sign of the safe being picked open. Alyssa casually recounted the case next to her.
"On February 22, before the police could find the thief, the Blacksmiths' Guild encountered the burglars again, and this time someone saw the handbag that the president's wife had forgotten in the president's office disappear before his eyes. The National Police Agency suspects that there is an extraordinary force involved in this case, so it is handed over to our Nature's Heart. ”
Agnes looked up at Alyssa and said, "This is obviously aimed at a certain item of the guild leader, and this item is not large, it can be carried in a safe, and the size may be about the same size as ten thousand gold in cash, and it can even be carried in a handbag." In addition, the item may have to be kept in the president's office at all times for reasons why it cannot be removed. ”
"Is there anything in the president's office that fits this characteristic?" Agnes asked Alyssa.
Alyssa smiled a little sarcastically, and said, "It's interesting that when I asked the guild members who were on duty at night on those two nights, they were all adamant that they didn't have it, and when I asked their president, the president kept answering no, but I could see that this president Carman actually had some symptoms of anxiety. Ah, by the way, their president is called Ossie Kaman. ”
Well, the symptoms of anxiety, well, in the eyes of a former "doctor", these are presumably diseases.
"It seems that this thing may not have a very glorious source." Agnes said thoughtfully.
"What's even more interesting is that the day after asking them this, the National Police Agency told me that the blacksmiths' guild asked them not to pursue the theft." Alyssa took a sip of water and said, "And I found out that their president's office is actually more strictly guarded, and when I went to ask the president of Carman why he withdrew the complaint, he was even a little wary of me, and that vigilance is very similar to the wariness of a fugitive suspect to the police." ”
"President Carman is a wild extraordinary?" Agnes asked.
"I later reviewed his profile and preliminarily judged that he was not." Alyssa replied.
"Then there may be wild extraordinary beings around him, and maybe that object is also an object with extraordinary powers." Agnes said thoughtfully.
"How can an item that can attract a thief who is likely to be a member of the Hermit of Destiny pass through an extraordinary person that does not possess extraordinary power?" Alyssa scoffed.
Seeing Agnes looking at her suspiciously, Alyssa suddenly tapped her forehead in annoyance and asked, "Don't you know that the Hermit of Destiny will be?" ”
