When I woke up in the morning, I saw white snow piled up on the streets, the freezing cold air penetrated through the cracks, and the steam pipes melted into the snow, like a silver dress for Polnia.

The room is wet and cold, the floor is warped by aging, and it makes a creaking sound when you walk, so change into the lightest and warmest clothes, and go out with your battle gear to the museum.

Today, he was going to meet the third handler of the team, named Andre, who was the Awakened of Freedom.

Yas, on the other hand, is "Rebellion", and he is "Order" on record.

Andrei, who received the task, chose not to go home, took a short nap in the lounge, and waited in the museum early.

He wrapped himself in a black coat, and wore a fur hat that had recently become popular on his head, and the beard on his face had not yet had time to be taken care of, and when he saw Jiang Chenchuan, he obviously showed a happy expression.

It's just not as excited as Yas, and as soon as they meet, they pounce:

"Captain! We finally have a task. ”

Jiang Chenchuan silently pushed him away.

And Andre also got up at this time and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Chenchuan:

"Captain Ewell, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Jiang Chenchuan stretched out his hand to shake it back, but felt a strange coldness and a special touch, and looked down in surprise, only to find that it was a mechanical arm, flashing with dark metal light.

The mixture of flesh and blood is one of Ethan's research directions, representing cruelty and hope.

"Don't worry." Andre said seemingly indifferently, "I don't know if I don't try, this robotic arm is even better and more convenient than my original one." ”

According to Yas, Andre was the ace of the third squad before the accident, used to be Mosan's partner, and was also the most likely handler to be promoted to the B rank, and in terms of combat ability, he was much stronger than Ywell, but in the last mission, he lost his right hand.

Although the robotic arm can be used to replace it after surgery, the advancement of the awakened person has been greatly hindered, but Andre didn't say much, just silently took the task and left silently.

Yas didn't know where to move the two chairs, and they got the investigation report on the tram case at the same time, and sat down together, Yas was much more enthusiastic than Andre's silence.

"Have you seen it all?"

"Look, the preliminary investigation is basically here, and the scope of relic tracking is effective, and it can only be roughly locked in this area."

André pointed to the Trafalgar district on the map, which is some distance from the central city, but it is not considered a lower city because of the rapid economic development of theaters and art galleries.

"Moreover, there is another detail in the report, that is, the alchemy glass bead, the identity of the murderer is very likely to be an alchemist, although the tram explosion was an accident, but the most important thing is that there are traces of arson, that is, the power of this relic may be related to the flames, we have to prepare protection or water-related relics to do it, arson...... Wait a minute! ”

Jiang Chenchuan seemed to think of something, turned his head and explained to Yas:

"Yas, help me go to the data room and get a report on the recovery of relic 716."

“716？ Okay, wait for me. ”

Although his face was full of question marks, Yas still did as Jiang Chenchuan instructed.

Watching Yas leave, Andre frowned and wondered: "I remember that 716 was handled by the first team, does it have anything to do with this recovery?" ”

I still remember the last time I went on a mission with Yulia, I noticed the strange fire about 716, the relics can affect the mind, but the real sin is human.

In other words, their enemy this time may be an alchemist who can commit relics crimes.

"I don't know, but one more clue is one step away from death, after all, ......"

Jiang Chenchuan paused, and Rena's words came to mind.

"Intelligence is life."

A hint of surprise flashed in Andre's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, and when Yas returned with the report, they stood up and spread the two documents on the table.

Soon, they spotted similarities.

At the site of the burned inn, traces of alchemy were found, but due to the fire, the formation had been destroyed and could not be recognized.

Later, it was discovered that the archive was the source of the fire, so the handlers at that time could only infer that the existence of the alchemy circle was a coincidence.

"Can you find a list of travelers from the day of the fire to a week ago?"

"Of course you can, but we have to cooperate with the Sheriff's Department in this matter, and we need to submit an application." Yas explained.

"Yas, I'll leave this to you, Andre, and you'll be responsible for collecting the list of all the alchemists in the Trajafa District, including the alchemists who have been removed from the school."

"It's worthy of running a detective agency, captain, this job sounds like a lot."

Yas responded enthusiastically and positively, but Andre was not so happy.

"It's a lot of work."

"It's better than going to Trafalgar and looking for a needle in a haystack."

Jiang Chenchuan responded calmly.

At this moment, his brain is running rapidly, and the method of relying on technology to find targets is certainly useful, but in most cases, it still has to rely on the processing personnel to check one by one, which is too labor-intensive, and it is easy to startle the snake, not to mention, he is still a relatively meticulous arsonist.

"Then let's do it!"

It's like a clockwork mechanical toy, and after it is twisted to its head, it begins to tremble and take the first step forward to solve the case.

The snow fell on the steps, street lamps, and the black brim of his hat, Jiang Chenchuan took a moment and returned to the street where the accident occurred, the two sections of the track were still blocked by the Public Security Department, and the black roses in mourning were still piled up on the side of the street, and there were many slogans pasted on the side of the seal.

There were protests that it was her newly married husband who had caused the accident, but he had not even seen him for the last time, and asked the Public Security Department to return her husband's body to her.

There was even a message from a seven-year-old child, immature and naïve, asking when his mother would be able to come home.

Turning around and taking two steps, he caught a glimpse of someone kneeling in the snow, praying in the direction of the World Tree, begging the Sheriff's Office to report the accident as soon as possible.

Walking along the tracks, Jiang Chenchuan didn't know how long he walked unconsciously like this, until he felt a burst of hunger, and then he came back to his senses from the case of the tram explosion.

At this moment, he happened to be standing at the entrance of the watch repair shop, and when he looked around, he saw the familiar platform in front of him.

That......

If you go back in time, he also took the tram on the day of the accident, and if he hadn't gotten off early, maybe he would have died in that sudden explosion.

Wrong!

Maybe......

There was a line of thought that was wrong from the start!
