But in fact, it's not because they're strong that they can use magic without chanting spells, but because the magic they use is the magic of the World Tree, so the magic they cast is even more powerful.

When enough magic is used, the World Tree will come to make a contract.

It sounds very simple and the threshold is not high, but in fact it is very difficult to reach that level, after all, the king sets a limit of magic.

But there will always be a special reason for the king to lift the quota of certain people, to attack the city with large beasts, to fight with other nations, or to fight evil elements.

There is also a situation where you can make your own magic wand, which is the case with the group of people that Jiang Yingbai and his party met before.

In short, there are very few magicians who have reached this point.

Pollay quickly invited the three into the house and poured them a glass of water that they didn't know what they were made of.

In order to show his professionalism, Jiang Yingbai had already thought of his words before he came in.

Jiang Yingbai handed over the quill and parchment paper he bought in the town to Lotta, who was sitting next to him.

Lotta sat up straight, looking down at the parchment on the table, holding a quill in one hand, looking serious.

Jiang Yingbai had already told him that she would record all the conversations between her and Bolai later.

As soon as Bolai sat down, Jiang Yingbai began to ask questions.

She stared into Polley's eyes, a little nervous, "Name?" ”

Hearing Jiang Yingbai's first sentence for a while, he didn't react.

"Huh? Oh, Polle Petit. ”

"I mean the names of the missing."

Polley stumbled, "Sissi Petit." ”

"Age."

“12。”

"Gender."

"Female."

"Where did your daughter go missing?"

"On the way home."

"Where are you coming home?"

"Academy."

"When?"

"4 to 5 p.m."

"Is there any suspicion of the target?"

"Nope."

"Have you ever inquired about where the rest of the town is missing?"

"Yes."

"Tell me what you heard."

"They all disappeared right out of the academy."

"Do you think there's something wrong with the Academy?"

"Nope."

"Is there a special person living near the college, whether it is a particularly good reputation, or a particularly bad reputation, or in some ways more famous."

Polley thought for a long time, "There was an old man with a strange temper. ”

"What's weird?"

Then Bo Lai introduced the old man to Jiang Yingbai in detail.

Three years ago, the old man came to Pingyu Town from outside, and no one in the town knew where he came from, no one knew him, and no one knew what his name was.

He didn't have a penny on him, he lived by begging all day long, and he had a very strange temper, and he didn't pay attention to anyone who talked to him, so the townspeople called him a dumb old man.

There is a deserted house near the academy where children used to go after school.

Until the mute old man found the abandoned house, he forcibly took possession of the house, and drove out the door of the children every time he came to explore the house.

Over time, the children in the town were very afraid of this strange old man who did not speak and kept a straight face, and no one went to play in the house anymore.

Jiang Yingbai nodded slightly, "I know, is there anything else?" ”

"Uh......" Bollet racked his brains for a long time, but he couldn't come up with anything.

Jiang Yingbai opened his mouth to remind, "Is there anyone in the town who always smells at home?" ”

There are two situations in which a person goes missing, the person is sent out of the town and the person is still in the town.

These two cases are divided into two more cases.

Outside the town, people are not dead, they are abducted and trafficked, they are pulled for experiments, and so on.

People are killed, corpses are buried, abandoned, like thrown into a lake, eaten by wild beasts, etc.

In this world, technology is not developed, there is no surveillance, no fingerprints, no mobile phones, and it is difficult to determine a person's whereabouts throughout the day in this situation.

And the people in the town are either at work or resting at home, and few people go out all day.

In particular, many people like to be alone as a family, and no one may know that even if they are away from home all day.

When being interrogated, as long as the suspect insists that he has been at home, he will be fine, of course, except for the kind of person who has a very bad reputation, even if the reputation is too bad, no one believes it.

People often infinitely magnify each other's behavior and interpret each other's behavior, adding credibility to their own suspicions, whether those behaviors are abnormal or not, and whether they overinterpret them or not.

Once doubt arises, everything around it becomes untrustworthy.

Therefore, there are only two difficulties in killing people in this town.

One. How to dispose of the corpse secretly, as long as the process of hiding the corpse is not discovered, this crime is only half of the perfect crime.

Two. How to avoid the body being found, if it is a corpse thrown outside the town, then there is no need to think about this.

If it is to dispose of corpses in the town, there is only one question to consider, how to deal with them, the corpse emits a peculiar smell after decay.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem, such as burying the body in one's own garden, or throwing it into a well, etc.

Jiang Yingbai decided to start with the town first.

Bolley replied, "No." ”

"Is there a house where there is always the sound of cutting things?"

"Hmm...... Does buying meat count? ”

"Count."

"There are quite a few people selling meat in the town, but there is often only one family that cuts meat."

"Location."

"Lake to the west of town."

"Have you ever seen him go around the Academy?"

"Nope."

"What kind of meat does he sell?"

"A beast caught in an uninhabited mountain."

Lotta's frantically recorded hand, and Jiang Yingbai was also a little surprised.

"A beast caught in a no-man's mountain?"

"Yes, he and the Wizard of Percodo are good friends, and they both know each other because of their love of adventurous hunting, and they often go to the uninhabited mountains together to hunt wild beasts, and bring the captured beasts back to the town to sell."

Jiang Yingbai always felt weird, "Have you ever eaten it?" ”

"I have eaten it, because it is sold at an affordable price, and many people in the town have eaten it."

"How's it taste?"

"It's fine."

"Is there anyone in the town who is very short-tempered and has good skills, such as martial arts?"

"Except for Lake and Pocodo magicians, everyone is an ordinary person, at most some people have a little more strength, but very special people don't."

"What do you think of the Wizard of Pocodo?"

"Wizard Percodo is a very good man, he often gives money from the sale of meat to the Academy, and sometimes treats the townspeople for free, and he is also very kind."

"His age."

"Probably in his 40s."

"How's your physiognomy?"

"Very close."

"Why did he come to Pingyu Town?"

"Because he likes to explore, or he especially likes to explore uninhabited mountains, he chose to give up developing in Liberty City and come here instead."

"How do you know this?"

"When the Wizard of Pocodo first came to town, many of the townspeople wondered why he was here, as he said himself."
