Chapter 949: Case Room
Although Lin Jiu didn't use the appearance that he was looking for trouble before, the guards' perfunctory search was really a bit insulting. However, Lin Jiu was not bored enough to deliberately step forward to provoke it.
These kingdoms in the Oz Continent should not be underestimated, and Lin Jiu judged that the Oz Continent is basically the final word for the story characters now. But don't forget, the royal family and nobles often have some identity in these stories, whether they are positive characters or villains. In particular, characters like the prince can also be mixed with the role of the male protagonist.
Because of this, these kingdoms on the continent of Oz can still exist safely, but they don't have absolute force in their hands like before.
"It is rumored that the current prince's insane state is related to Princess Sindy, so the witch murder incident in Mace Town is rumored to be done by Sinti, so the power of the kingdom should be investigated." Lin Jiu didn't plan to work hard to collect information by himself, maybe someone had already helped him collect all the information.
Dumb and the triggered mission told Lin Jiu that the Ice Witch had nothing to do with Cindy, and that there were witnesses who could only prove that she imitated Cindy's appearance. It is very likely that after the people sent by the kingdom investigated this, they immediately gave up continuing to investigate the small town of Metz.
As for why the truth has almost been found, the Dusse Kingdom does not directly solve the Ice Witch. Because they had to find a way to solve the prince affair first.
Lin Jiu can imagine that if the male protagonist of the story of "Cinderella" is in a state of madness, the damage caused to the entire Dusai Kingdom is not a small one, and the Ice Witch who only kills one person in the town can be compared. There is no need to compare which is more important.
So what Lin Jiu's actions are next...... No, it should be said that Red Lotus's plan of action is obvious, infiltrate the camp where the guards in Metz Town are located, and see if they can find intelligence information about the Killer Witch.
And Lin Jiu didn't wait here, he had to find out about the situation of the rumored "evil witch" Figas. Dumb had said that Sophie had revealed that her stepmother did magic, but wasn't sure if she was a black mage. It is also unknown whether the Witch of Murder has anything to do with her.
Lin Jiu naturally couldn't ignore the existence of this kind of guy, if it was an unstable factor, then try to "stabilize" her first. However, Lin Jiu had a hunch that this Figas might not be as simple as a third-rate mage role.
But that's even better, but don't forget his side quest, finding the puppet. The origin of this puppet is related to mages, and the magic guild is a direct participant in the event. If this Figas had been a powerful mage, he might have been able to get information about the puppet from her.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the day, the town of Metz is extremely quiet at night. Every time the Ice Witch causes a dead person, it is at night, and never appears during the day. This is also why the town of Metz does not have a scene of panic during the day, and there are many outsiders.
But the night was different, and the residents of the small town of Metz did not dare to leave their homes at all. And this terrible atmosphere makes those ordinary migrants dare not go out.
However, that night, two figures were in action, and the red lotus ghostly swept through the streets, silently approaching the location of the guards' camp.
The Guardsmen's camp is not remote, close to the most upscale-looking buildings in the town of Metz. It seems that because of the disturbance during the day, the guards are much more vigilant here than before. But vigilance can't erase the gap in strength, the guards of these small towns are enough to control ordinary people, but they are still far from touching the traces of the red lotus.
Red Lotus quickly dived inside, hiding in the darkness. The next step is to find the case room. You don't have to think about it to know that the case room in this town will definitely not be very professional, and all kinds of cases are hastily handled.
After all, the general environment is like this, and no one even cares about the area far away from the royal capital. Red Lotus quickly found the case room by observing the movement of soldiers in the room. This place is still relatively easy to find, and the other rooms are more or less accessible to some people.
Only this room was almost unoccupied, not even the soldiers guarding it. The information in the case room is also needed to investigate the truth. But in the context of this era, how can there be any serious person who investigates the truth. All that was placed here was information about some cases that had occurred in the local area, and it was not a secret of the kingdom, it was stolen, and at most the guards were disgraced.
Honglian took advantage of the night and quietly slipped into the case room. I don't even care if I leave a mark. In this day and age, it would be a pipe dream to track him down in a scientific way. It's pretty much the same with magic. And if he really used magic methods, it didn't matter if he left a trace or not.
"Let me see what's on it." Honglian, who entered the case room, found that there were not many files inside, which made it much easier for him to find the files he needed. It can also be understood that these archives are made of sheepskin, and the cost is not low, and there are naturally not many of them.
The ability of close-range night vision can still be easily done by Red Lotus, without lighting the light source, Red Lotus can check the information recorded in this file in the case room.
[The Ice Witch, rumored to be the same person as the Cindy Witch, after investigation, her appearance is indeed exactly the same as the Cindy Witch. However, upon further investigation, it was discovered that the Ice Witch was not a normal life, but was formed by magic items. The investigation was then abandoned. This result is not surprising, how could that horrible guy of Cindy the Witch do such a boring thing......]
There are only a few records of this incident in the archives, but in the words and words, Red Lotus can feel the fear of the real Cindy. I don't know what Sinti did in the Dusse Kingdom at that time.
Although the record was brief, the plan was correct, and they got a lot of key clues straight away. First of all, you can know that the Ice Witch looks exactly like Cindy, so as long as Lin Jiu and they solve the Ice Witch incident, they will know what Cindy looks like, that is, Sophie. Don't miss any clues in the future.
The second is that the file records that the Ice Witch is not anyone, but the product of magic items. Red Lotus has reason to suspect that this magic item may be a magic mirror fragment.
Honglian didn't just look at this file, anyway, there weren't many of them, so she read all the remaining sheepskin files. It can be found that after a certain point in time, those who have more or less been involved with supernatural forces have not continued to investigate.
"Is this Cindy's deterrent!" Red Lotus also sighed. At this point in time, there is a high probability that it will be the Cinderella incident, and after that, the Dusse Kingdom will not be able to spare the extra strength to manage this kind of event. Thanks to other countries, more or less, they all have some similar problems, and before the mutation of the Oz continent, if this was the case, the Duce Kingdom would have been annexed by its neighbors long ago.
Suddenly, I understood why the vendor reacted so much when he heard them ask Cindy. This is the influence of "national conditions"!
