Generally speaking, after the murder, the police let the forensic autopsy get the clues of the dead. After confirming the identity, they will follow the identity of the dead to investigate whether the people around him are suspected of committing a crime.
This is a very convenient direction of investigation. If you can't, you have to start visiting and investigating, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
But in any case, the general murderer has a clear purpose, either seeking revenge or simply killing on impulse.
The indiscriminate serial homicide like this is the most difficult, especially without monitoring and witness, there is no clear clue to catch.
An Yi pointed and asked:
"What are you going to do with this case?"
"I said hello to the guard. If there are new clues, someone will notify me by magic communication."
“……”
Ann is speechless. Are you sure this is an investigation?
Although she can rely on the power of the Duke's family to make the guard obedient, you can't find anything wrong even if they don't inform you. After all, it's not their duty.
On the contrary, you are not a guard in charge of public security at all, but if you want to take over the case, you obviously can't stand it.
"Besides the guard, do you have any other cards in your hand? If you meet a prisoner, you don't want to catch it yourself?"
After listening to an Yizhi's words, sister Lanmao hesitated to take out a polished gem with strange shape:
"This is a talisman that can mobilize 100 city defense forces. If necessary, they can help cooperate."
Ann covered his face with a finger. He couldn't bear to expose it.
"As far as I know, because of the Midsummer Festival, adventurers don't go out to accept tasks. Many soldiers have to be sent outside the city to clean up monsters. The number of soldiers left in the city is not large, and they have to be responsible for the public security problems caused by the surge of people due to the festival. Do you think you can really transfer people?"
“……”
Even an Yizhi, who had just arrived in the emperor for no more than two hours, could see it. Of course, sister Lanmao knew it, although she was unwilling to admit it.
It can be said that except for an Yizhi, who was paid, she had no cards in her hand.
——It's so miserable. You'd better get married quickly!
Being asked by an Yizhi, she was speechless. Then LAN Mao saw an Yizhi take out a stack of documents from the drawer on the left side of the carriage.
"That's the case file... Forget it, just read it if you want."
At least she is not stupid enough. If she wants to handle a case, she must at least have some information about the previous case.
These materials are basically composed of the situation at the crime scene and the speculation of some investigators. The latter half is meaningless. The materials at the crime scene are attached with "pictures" of magic images, which has a certain reference value.
The victims of all cases were put in specific positions. Some hands and feet were nailed up and hung on the wall, while others were supported by chairs and other things, which looked a bit like ballet.
Posture has nothing in common. What you insist on saying is still a little artistic.
——Abnormal artistry.
The gemstones placed at the crime scene are generally not far from the body, the number is equivalent to the number of victims, and the types range from small stones picked up on the ground to fire agate with more than ten gold coins, which depends on the identity of the victim. The higher the identity, the better the quality of gemstones.
At present, the highest status of the victims is a government civilian with a non hereditary title. Although his status is not particularly high, it also makes people panic. Some noble families have strengthened their vigilance for fear that they will become the next target.
Looking down at the file, an pointed and asked:
"By the way, what's your name?"
“……”
Seeing an Yizhi speak, sister LAN Mao thought he wanted to discuss the case. Who knew that such a sentence came out, and she could hardly maintain her cold face. She especially wanted to pinch an Yizhi's neck and ask, "didn't you see my signature just now!"
So she replied dryly:
"Carla, Carla Westford"
Carla... Isn't it a dog?
I always feel that this sentence is probably going to make complaints about it.
"Where are we going now?"
"No purpose."
Carla said:
"Just wandering in the street. I'm waiting for the report of the guard."
"Then go and fix my pay first. I'm idle anyway."
An Yi pointed out that the required gemstones are custom-made products, not easily available. It's right to place an order in advance.
As an Yizhi said, idleness is idleness anyway. Carla didn't object to it. She turned and opened the small window of the through coachman and said:
"Go gem psychedelic."
"Yes, miss."
As she sat down again, she continued:
"After reading the file, I hope to discuss the case and see..."
"Who are there in your family?"
Before she finished, Ann interrupted with a finger.
Who knows why he suddenly asked such a question, Carla said helplessly:
"My father is the fortress, and my brothers and sisters are the front-line commanders under him. At present, only my brother and I are still in the imperial capital."
"Oh."
An Yi pointed to change the posture of looking at the file and said:
"How is your relationship?"
"Generally speaking, since I went out to study, we seldom met... Does this have anything to do with the case?"
"It doesn't matter. I just ask."
“……”
The desire to hit people has never been so strong
"If I have time, I'd like to discuss the case..."
Before she finished, Carla saw Ann point up and look out of the window:
"The street seems very busy."
"It's a parade to celebrate the Midsummer Festival. Bards and performers selected from all over the country will perform on specially modified flat cars. There are several such teams. They will tour the whole city on Midsummer Day."
The effect is basically similar to the parade float.
Seeing an Yizhi's attention returning to the file from the window, Carla was about to speak, an Yizhi said:
"Tell me about Midsummer Festival. I kind of want to know how emperors celebrate it."
Carla's patience was almost wiped out by Ann's fingers. She said patiently:
"Midsummer Festival is the most important festival. As it is also your Majesty's birthday, it is more lively than other places. In the evening, there will be a special banquet in front of the palace, allowing all civilians to participate... Can you tell me the case now?"
"Well, No."
“……”
Ann refused cleanly. If she couldn't fight, Carla would take out the huge sword at her waist and shoot it!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Along the way, Carla repeatedly proposed to discuss business. She was always interrupted by an Yizhi for various reasons. The angry girl had a strong idea of cutting her own bodyguard.
Obviously, you have to intervene, but you don't ask anything serious. You ask some messy things. Everyone has a fire.
Fortunately, the adventurers' Association is not far from the gem psychedelic, otherwise whether Carla can hold it or not... That's another matter.
Naturally, when getting off the bus, an Yizhi took the lead in jumping down, and he didn't have any plan to help. Even if Carla doesn't intend to be a lady raised in her boudoir in the future, at least she should be a gentleman?
——Unfortunately, No.
It's called gem psychedelic. It's actually a gem store.
Its customers are not only adventurers, but also many non magical ornaments and gemstones are within its business scope.
At the same time, it also provides gem customization service. You can customize any effect or shape of gem you want. Of course, it is also valuable.
An Yizhi followed Carla into the door. The first thing he saw was the glass counter of the real gold and silver jewelry store. The corner of the counter was also specially equipped with magic lights to make the gemstones inside look more dazzling.
It is estimated that the luxury marketing strategy of the magic world is similar to the reality
However, the gemstones here can't interest an Yizhi, because no matter how exquisite their shapes are and how many zeros there are on the price tag, they are decorations without any special effects. This thing is only worth selling money for an Yizhi.
Carla seems to be a regular visitor here. Even if she is not a regular visitor, the clerk has considerable insight and knows the eldest lady of the Duke's family.
"Miss Carla, what can I do for you?"
Immediately, a clerk greeted him with a business smile. It is estimated that there must be a profit from selling one
"I'm looking for master Clark to customize a magic gem."
The clerk smiled and said:
"Master Clark is not here, but his students can provide magic gem customization services. Please follow me and discuss the specific matters in detail."
Ordering a gem is not just a matter of saying a few conditions. Many parameters need to be explained by the customer in advance.
The clerk led them through the counter to the second floor and found a luxury box upstairs, which was prepared for rich people who specially customized gemstones.
In fact, customized gemstones are not only rich, but also ordinary gemstones. The customization of magic gemstones requires members, that is, talents with certain status have this qualification.
If Ann points to herself, she won't be kicked out, but it's certainly impossible to order magic gemstones, not even if she has money.
Soon after entering the box, someone brought black tea, snacks and other things. The clerk smiled and asked:
"What kind of magic gem is Miss Carla going to order?"
Carla simply pointed to ANN with her chin:
"I'll leave it to you."
I guess I was angry in the carriage and didn't bother to talk.
Ann didn't care, and said:
"I want a perfect magic gem."
"Perfect..."
The clerk pondered:
"Sorry, this guest, it's difficult to make perfect gemstones. The order has been scheduled for next year."
"Not even with the Duke's face?"
An Yizhi will take advantage of the situation, but the clerk just won't let go.
"I'm very sorry. I really can't decide. Only master Clark can customize the perfect magic gem. Although others can also make it, I'm afraid it can't meet your customized needs."
The so-called customization means that the parameters including effect, shape and size should meet the needs of customers, which is much more difficult than making a magic gem alone.
When an Yi was about to say, "the effect doesn't matter, as long as it's perfect," there was a deliberate cough outside the box.
"You go down and leave it to me."
An old and small guy walked slowly into the box
