Chapter 1197

The torn page in the account book order retained the words of imperial blue. When Jeremiah was assassinated, the assassin also left an imperial blue. At the same time, the boss and his wife of the magic consumables store were killed

I said it was a coincidence. Do you believe it?

No matter whether the account books and goods investigated by the guard are consistent with the number of gemstones lost by the serial killer at the crime scene, the nature of this matter has completely changed from this moment on.

It is no longer a case handled together with serial homicides, but a separate conspiracy against high-ranking nobles.

The guard did not know about Jeremiah's assassination, and Ann was not interested in making it known to everyone, but as Carla mentioned earlier, the mastermind behind the scenes must have erased all traces that might expose himself before planning the action. Unfortunately, the victim and his wife belong to the "erased" part.

This is probably how it happened.

The mastermind behind the scenes intends to make use of the serial killer to make profits for himself, such as assassinating hostile nobles, but for this purpose, he must get a gem that matches the identity of the assassin.

Magic gems are not cabbages, especially high-end magic gems in line with aristocratic status. Each one has a record.

This thing can only be purchased from gem psychedelic in imperial capital, but in this way, how to kill it has become a big problem. Clark's survival is certainly not as simple as his excellent gem processing technology. Once he can't kill it, he will leave a clue that is quite unfavorable to him and bite himself back.

So he chose this consumables store, because the owner of this store has contacts who can get precious stones, and it's not easy to kill the owner and husband of a magic consumables store everywhere compared with Clark, who controls the whole imperial gem business.

It's just that the owner of this shop can't get too high-end magic gemstones. He can only make do with an imperial blue. It doesn't matter. After all, imperial blue is also a very precious gem, but it has no magic effect.

An Yi pointed out that when he met the family in the car, they probably took the imperial sapphire with them. The whole family went out, probably to buy goods.

After a short separation, the family was assassinated by the murderer as soon as they returned to the shop. Maybe the assassin hid in the magic consumables shop not far from Duke Winifred's house before attacking Jeremiah

No!

An Yizhi suddenly remembered something. How did the couple's daughter disappear!

At this time, the guard had taken out a stretcher to carry out the couple's bodies. An Yizhi turned directly to the head of the guard next to Carla and asked:

"Have you found the body or whereabouts of a seven or eight year old girl?"

The head of the guard looked down at the document and said:

"The report did mention that the victim had a daughter, but we didn't find her whereabouts."

"There are no upper floors or nearby alleys?"

The man shook his head and said with certainty that he didn't.

That's weird.

Since the murderer killed the two couples in the magic consumables store, there is no reason to let a little girl go. As a martyr who regards the master's order as everything, he obviously can't be soft hearted when he sees a child.

Did the killer take her body after killing someone?

It doesn't seem very correct. What's the killer trying to do?

On second thought, the little girl may have escaped, but it doesn't make sense.

A seven or eight year old child has the ability to understand many things. Although she is not as evil as Carla's brother Charles, at least she knows to ask the guard or passers-by for help. If she escapes, the police will certainly receive a report in this regard.

Dead, no body found, alive? But no one.

Eliminate all the impossibilities and there is only one option left.

She's still here, right where her parents died!

An Yizhi looked around. There were indeed many places nearby where people could hide, and there were many places where a little girl could hide. But the killer must have been in the store at that time. As a professional killer, he couldn't have known that the store had a daughter. If he really hid, how could he escape the killer's tracking?

"Close the door and put down the curtains in the window."

The head of the guard looked at Carla, who nodded and agreed to do so.

With the door closed and the curtains pulled up, the light quickly darkened, so that you can't see things, but you can't see too far away.

Just after the light darkened, an Yizhi, who scanned left and right, saw a faint blue light behind the portrait of the goddess Sevilla.

He walked alone, took off the heavy hanging picture with the hand of the dragon and threw it aside. A safe about half a meter high appeared in front of him. It was embedded in the wall, like a place where the shopkeeper hid money and valuables.

A circle of magic pattern is drawn around the safe, like a circle to circle the safe.

"This is the spell text of the powerful confusion spell. It has been triggered."

Hella judged.

Strong confusion spell is a spell in the enchantment system. It can confuse the memory of the hit person.

That's a little hard to understand, for example.

For example, you just finished your meal and ate very well. After being hit by the strong confusion spell, you are likely to forget that you just ate your meal and wonder why your stomach will be flustered if you didn't eat.

No matter what you think when the spell takes effect, you can't connect the cause and effect relationship between 'eating enough' and 'just had dinner'.

By the way, because the player is protected by the system, this mind changing spell is invalid for the player.

Strong confusion spells are usually placed where valuables are stored. After all, the best way to deal with a thief is not to find a lock that is very difficult to open, but to make the thief forget what he is doing.

An Yizhi listened to Haila's judgment and without hesitation reached out to open the door of the safe.

The door wasn't locked, it was just open.

In the cold light blue light representing fear, an Yizhi saw that the little girl seen on the train was curled up in the safe, holding the emotional light in her hand, and the tears kept gathering in her eyes, but the strong she didn't make any sound or anything.

Until an Yizhi opened the cabinet door, she shrunk her neck like a frightened rabbit and turned to see an Yizhi.

"Big brother?"

"It's me. It's okay. You're safe."

It seems that she saw someone she knew, which led to the rapid collapse of the little girl's psychological defense in an instant. She said something in a tone that could not even form any sentences, but she couldn't hear it clearly. She just threw herself into an Yizhi's arms and cried hard, and her nose and tears pasted his shoulder.

An Yizhi was not normal, and even gently rubbed her hair, joking:

"Shoulders are for lending to women."

As a result, the little girl cried louder.

An Yizhi knows that she needs to vent well at this time. The psychological pressure of hiding in a narrow space for several hours is enough to crush an adult, not to mention such a small child.

After all, an Yizhi also knows what it's like to lose his parents.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The little girl had a good cry. She didn't stop until she was about to faint because of too much water. Now she has fallen asleep.

Through her weeping and intermittent narration, the course of events was roughly the same as Ann Yizhi's guess. They were attacked not long after they entered the door.

At that time, her mother arranged the goods in front of the shelf to open a shop, while her father just finished writing the account book, took out the imperial sapphire from the suitcase and prepared to put it into the safe for storage, waiting for the customer to pick up the goods with the balance.

Just then, the little girl playing with her father heard her mother's cry. Her father let her hide in the safe for the first time, and then she didn't know about it.

The place where the couple died coincided with the little girl's testimony. The murderer killed two people in a row at a very fast speed. When preparing to attack the little girl in the safe, he just triggered the powerful confusion spell on the outer ring of the safe, directly forgetting that the family had a daughter, so that she escaped.

It's unclear whether her father did it on purpose or whether he awakened his instinct to protect his children in a hurry, but anyway, it did save her life.

Even with this testimony, the guard attributed the matter to the serial killer, because according to the results of the audit system, the number of gemstones lost in the store was almost exactly the same as that left at the crime scene.

An Yizhi certainly didn't say anything rashly. Since the investigation results are consistent, it is likely to represent that the person behind the assassin also has an insider in the guard, and his status is not low. He has the right to look through all the files. Only by getting accurate information can he arrange the scene by chance.

It's really lucky that a little girl stayed unexpectedly, but if an Yizhi carelessly said what she knew at this time, she might be killed.

In view of the little girl's age and the loss of her parents, the guard only recorded some confessions. Now she is temporarily staying at the guard headquarters. She cried too hard before and is now asleep.

Ask the guard to take good care of her. An Yizhi and Carla leave the guard headquarters. The latter tentatively asks:

"An Yizhi, are you okay?"

In Carla's impression, an Yizhi is always a serious and joking image. Although he has strong strength, he is not difficult to get along with.

But now his expression was almost gloomy, as if he was going to drip water, and his face looked like 'I'm very unhappy now'.

An Yi pointed and youyou said:

"I just realize that I am still a human being. When I face strangers, I only have sympathy for small animals, but if I get along well and the other party suddenly leaves forever, I will still feel sad."

"Ah?"

Carla didn't understand what he said.

Take a deep breath, an pointed and said:

"Forget it, I'm fine. Let's go on with our business."

Then he took the lead in waving to the rickshaw passing through the road and motioned him to stop.

Carla's desire for survival is still very strong. She is knowledgeable and doesn't ask. She can't imagine how high the success rate of scanning all nobles who can raise dead people with shelling mode and magic ray is.

——Roll call!
