Around Atkins castle stood ten guards, all of whom had been transferred from the nearest town of Salo. Their task was to protect the scene from anyone.
Inside Atkins castle, there was a cold white fog.
The origin of the white fog is the various phalanx arranged in the castle. The array keeps the temperature inside Atkins castle at about zero, which can prevent the body from rotting because of the heat.
At least until the nobility's office sends investigators, it must remain in a state of discovery.
It's also standard practice, and the nearest city of Saro has arranged for this since the tragedy of Atkins castle was discovered.
The Minister of Gershwin noble affairs stood outside the castle. He was not a professional investigator, but came to coordinate the relationship between the noble affairs office and the local government, so that the follow-up investigators of the noble affairs office could act more conveniently when they arrived.
"Coming!" The Minister of noble affairs of Gershwin looked up at the sky. In the sky, a "star flying boat" was descending, which belonged to the noble affairs office.
"Star boat" circled in the air, as if to check the situation of the castle in the air, and then slowly fell on the open space in front of the castle.
The Gershwin Minister of noble affairs welcomed him with a smile, but the smile on his face disappeared when he saw the man who came down.
A middle-aged man wearing the office robe of the noble affairs office came down first from the star flying boat. The middle-aged man had sharp eyes and looked at people like eagle eyes.
The middle-aged man was the investigating Minister of the noble Affairs Office, Dryden, and one of his opponents.
There was not much hatred between the Dryden investigating minister and the Gershman aristocracy minister, but they belonged to two different camps of the noble affairs office.
Wherever there are people, there are factions, and so is the office of nobility.
So when the Gershwin aristocracy minister saw the investigation Minister of Dryden, the original good mood disappeared.
However, when the investigating Minister of Dryden turned to help the next man, the Gershman noble affairs minister rushed forward.
"Master IX, how did you come here in person?" Said the Minister of noble affairs of Gershwin.
"The noble affairs office attached great importance to this incident, so they arranged for me to come here!" The alchemist replied with a smile and a nod.
The investigating Minister of Dryden glanced at the Gershman aristocratic affairs minister. In fact, the reason why ixar alchemist came here in person instead of arranging for an alchemist to come over was mainly due to his superior's invitation.
On the one hand, the Baron family was destroyed. The nature of the case was extremely bad. The noble affairs office needed to give the nobles an account.
On the other hand, there are also reasons for the involvement of the Gershman noble affairs minister.
When the noble affairs office got the report of the case, it used the intelligence network of God's world to investigate the relationship network of Atkins family.
Among them, the investigation focused on all the forces that had enemies with the Atkins family, and found that the Luce family was the most suspicious.
The new Baron of the Luce family, Baron Arthur, did not receive the aristocratic education of God's great world, but lived in the interstellar Federation.
In the eyes of the people who belong to the big world, the places in the interstellar Federation are abandoned by gods. Without the protection of gods, the souls of the people in the interstellar Federation are vulnerable to evil thoughts.
Such cases of killing barons are extremely rare in the God's world. People in the god world rarely do this, and only Baron Arthur from the interstellar Federation is likely to do so.
When found here, Dryden's investigating minister found that Baron Arthur had a deep relationship with the Gershman nobleman.
Baron Arthur and the Gershwin Minister of noble affairs were supposed to be official relations, but after finishing the mission, the Gershman aristocratic affairs minister stayed in Luce castle and tried to influence the Atkins family through their own relationship.
When the investigating Minister of Dryden found out this, he was very happy. According to his judgment, Baron Arthur was very likely to participate in the case.
Once it is confirmed that Baron Arthur is the murderer of the murder of Atkins castle, the Gershman aristocratic affairs minister will be implicated and suppressed by them, which can completely damage the Gershman noble affairs minister and the forces behind him.
It is precisely for this reason that the Minister of investigation of Dryden applied to his superior, and the master alchemist of ixes would follow him.
In the past, the alchemist would go to the scene to collect evidence. If the alchemist was unable to deal with the case, the alchemist would hand over the collected items to the alchemist, who would handle it in the workshop.
You should know that alchemists are very busy, in addition to their own research, there is a lot of work.
Gershwin Minister of noble affairs was also very confused. The arrival of the alchemist made him smell the unusual smell.
"IX Alchemist's time is precious, Gershwin, don't block the master's work!" Said Dryden, the investigating minister.The Minister of aristocracy of Gershwin gave a fierce stare at the Minister of investigation of dreden, and the confrontation between the two made the atmosphere very nervous.
The master of the alchemy of IXS ignored the hostility of the two. His position in the noble affairs office was very transcendent, and he didn't need to rely on any influence at all.
If this time, not for the boss of the Secretary of inquiry, dreden asked him to come, he would not come in person.
The master of the alchemy of IXS went to the gate of Atkins castle, the gate was concealed. He took out a plate and held it in his hand, and the spirit activated the plate.
There is a flow light flashing along the pattern, and then a pattern composed of white light appears above the array disk.
Seeing the master of the alchemy of Ixia starting to work, the Minister of investigation of derriden and the Minister of aristocracy of Gershwin stopped looking at each other and came to the side of the master.
The master of the alchemy of IXS took the plate into the castle, ignoring the body on the ground, but fixed his eyes on the white light pattern projected from the array plate in his hand.
"Eh!" After ten minutes' walk, the master of the alchemy of IXS passed most of the castle, and he gave a startling voice.
"Master, what's the problem?" "Asked the Minister of inquiry, in a whisper.
"This time, the killer is not a knight. There is no remaining soul fragment on the scene, as if all souls are cleared up. Only the believers of evil gods will do this!" The master of the alchemy of IXS explained in a deep voice.
"There are evil believers who have participated in it!" There was surprise and joy in the voice of the Minister of inquiry by derridden.
Surprise is that once there are cult believers involved, then the event will be extended to the point where powerful knights are needed to take part. If there is a temple nearby, the Knights will rush to deal with it.
The joy is that he suspects that Baron Arthur is involved, and if this is confirmed, it is not a simple crime of murder, whether it is Baron Arthur or the aristocratic Minister of Gershwin.
"Go to the place where Baron Chapman was killed and see if the soul fragments after the knight's death may be preserved!" The master of the alchemy of IXS did not continue to look up, he told the Minister of inquiry.
"Baron Chapman was killed in the restaurant, where eight knights were killed together. Come with me!" Mr. dreden had received a preliminary case statement before investigating the minister, and he asked for a courtesy.
The master of the exquisiter nodded, and after the Minister of inquiry, deryden, the Minister of aristocracy of Gershwin was at the end, and they came to the restaurant together.
Although the Minister of investigation of dreden has seen the information of the case, he still had a cold war when he saw the scene in the restaurant.
The blood from nine knights, including their horses, dyed the dining room floor red.
If it is not for the help of the cold ice array, the temperature here will be reduced to zero, and the bloody smell in the restaurant alone will be unbearable.
The master of the alchemy of IXS walked to the corpse of several knights, and the tragic condition of the body had no effect on him.
Every master of alchemy needs to go through many experiments, which are far more bloody than here.
The master of the alchemy of IXS carried the array plate and walked over the body of each knight. Finally, he came to the body of Baron Chapman, and squatted down and placed it on the head of Baron Chapman.
However, the white light pattern on the array plate was not moving at all, which disappointed the master of the alchemy of IXS.
"There is a limited amount of things I can do here, no soul fragment, and I am not as good as your searcher!" "The master of the alchemy of IXS shook his head and took the plate away and said.
In general homicide cases, if you die, there will be soul fragments left. Soul fragments can be collected through special array.
Although the soul fragment can provide little information, it can usually trace back the fragments before death.
Because before people are killed, the emotion is the strongest, which directly affects the soul, making the soul fragments of this part less easily disappear than the rest.
Of course, there are limitations to this time. Usually, after two days, the soul fragments will disappear.
It is less than two days before the incident, so many victims can not have soul fragments left.
The knight, like Lord Chapman, is very close to the knight of the earth. Its soul strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the remaining time of soul fragments should be longer.
Until now, the master of the IXS alchemy can be 100% sure that someone has cleared the soul of the scene.
Those with this ability have only believers of evil gods except the gods of the temple.
"Please, I'll call my hand down and search!" "The Minister of inquiry, dreden, bowed to thank him.
He waved behind him, and five investigators who followed him quickly entered the work.
"Gershwin, I hear you have been close to Baron Arthur recently, and even you have proved that Baron Arthur is absent?" "The Minister of inquiry, dreden, looking at his investigation, turned to the Minister of aristocracy at Gershwin."I don't need to report to you what kind of friends I make." The reply of the Gershman noble affairs minister.
"I don't care if you make friends, but Baron Arthur is a major suspect in this case. Have you considered the consequences?" Asked Dryden in a deep voice.
Dryden, the Minister of investigation, said this in the presence of the alchemist, which he intended.
There was evidence from ex alchemist afterwards, which was much more useful than the evidence that came out of the investigation.
"You can investigate Baron Arthur's whereabouts, but you suspect a baron at will without evidence. Have you considered the consequences?" The Gershman Minister of aristocratic affairs was not empty at all and asked in the same tone.
Although the office of nobility has great power, in the final analysis, it is a service organization for nobles.
If there is no reason to suspect a baron and investigate without any evidence, if there is no proper investigation conclusion, then the investigation Minister of Dryden will bear the consequences of dismissal.
We should know that in the God belongs to the big world, the aristocracy is a privileged class, the aristocrats have great power, once someone dares to challenge the power of the aristocracy, they will be excluded by the aristocratic system.
"I'll have proof of it!" Dryden said confidently.
The investigators worked very quickly, and a report was sent to the Minister of investigation in Dryden.
The investigation Minister of Dryden looked at the report in his hand, and his heart was also in a dark surprise.
"The murderer has a very sharp weapon, which is at least level 3, or even level 4, which is probably the strength of the earth knight and the means to clear the soul!
In addition, the Atkins family treasure house has been moved empty, there is no sign of damage to the treasure house, there may be alchemists involved!
From the scene, it's very possible for the cult believers to participate. I'd like to report to the top and ask for help! " Said Dryden, in a deep voice.
The alchemist nodded his approval, and the Gershwin Minister of noble affairs would not say anything against it.
Gershwin's minister of noble affairs is still very confident in David. He believes that there is nothing to do with David here, because he has witnessed David's Knight enlightenment.
If we say that before the knight enlightenment, by virtue of David's extraordinary combat power, there is still a glimmer of possibility. After the knight enlightenment, the extraordinary power will be suppressed by the knight pattern. David just wants to act, and has no corresponding ability.
As for whether David has any help, the Gershman aristocratic minister knows better.
He and Lord Forbes brought David from the interstellar Federation to the divine world, where there was no one but the people in Luce castle.
Even if David wants to know the cult believers, he has no time to contact him.
Therefore, after the investigation Minister of Dryden said that there were cult believers at the scene, the Gershman noble affairs minister believed that David could not be involved in these matters.
"Please help me open the contact array!" Said Dryden, the Minister of inquiry, bowing to the alchemist.
There are two ways to open the contact array, one is the power of blood, the other is the spirit. The Minister of investigation of Dryden is just an ordinary official, but he can not open the contact array.
