Chapter 321

Macon must have killed people in order to hide his tracks. He will do anything to achieve his goal.

This is in line with what happened today. In order to hide his tracks, Macon did not hesitate to burn down the whole botanical garden.

This is an extremely cruel man.

Lena thought.

The next morning, he told Mrs. Freya a few things to take care of Claire, and was ready to leave the hotel.

Uncle Mason didn't go on with his birthday decorations. He just sat behind the counter and wrote something on the account book. Lena didn't disturb him or know what to say. He walked out of the hotel door in silence.

Lena took a rental carriage to the site of the plantation, which is still blocked by the magic association. Due to the information provided by Lena, the investigation work here has been transferred from the sheriff's department to the magic association, and more detailed magic exploration will be carried out at the scene.

Midland magic association has been committed to promoting the identification of magic traces, which is similar to forensic science. It is a means to restore the situation of the case according to the magic flow and residual magic traces on the scene. It is mainly aimed at the magic crimes that often appear in Midland Federation.

Recently, because of the flood of blood rock, there are many vicious crimes in Midland. At first, these crimes are all because of money. Because it takes a lot of money to buy blood rock, some outlaws resort to the idea of robbery, killing people and stealing goods, and use the money to buy blood rock.

As the blood rock not only circulated among the lower class, but also between the mages and nobles, it also gave birth to some crimes involving magic, which made the federal department in charge of public security complain incessantly.

When Lena came here, several mages had been investigating at the scene.

"Mr. Ian gray."

The first mage has the level of four rings. Ohmster has no magic association. He was transferred from a nearby city.

"I'm Claude, who is sent by the association to take charge of the investigation. We have some results of today's investigation. Would you like to have a look?"

Lena's fame in the magic world made the four ring mage respect him.

"Hard work."

Nodding slightly, Lena took the record from the other side and began to read it.

Many traces of Magic have been detected in the ruins of the warehouse, which must have been used as an alchemy laboratory recently.

In addition, traces of kindling were found on the outside of the warehouse, which should have been Macon's hand in setting the plantation on fire.

On the way out of the warehouse, you can also find the traces of Lena's casting.

"There are traces of tidal surgeries here, but it's strange that there is no water source nearby. Ordinary tidal surgeries can't affect the artificial rivers in the distance."

Crowe pointed to the man-made river in the distance. The river was nearly dry, and the water in it could not be used to put out the fire.

"Surge technique?"

Lena seemed to think of something, then confirmed.

"If there is water, what role can surge surgery play in a fire?"

"Surge is essentially a spell to control fluid movement. If there is water, it can form a water curtain around people and isolate fire. There have been cases of such escape in the past."

Crowe explained.

Lena nodded, which was consistent with his idea that when rescuing farmers, the water mist around them should be the result of surgeries.

But the question is, where does the water for surgeries come from?

"If you come to this location, it's enough to take water from the artificial river nearby to make a water curtain."

Crow pointed to a position and said that Lena looked around. This should be the place where he met the farmers trying to get out of trouble.

So the fog that Lena saw was caused by surge?

Lena some doubts, followed by Crowe at the scene again, they came to the warehouse.

"This should be where Mr. West fell."

Said crow, pointing to the ground.

"According to the restored scene, after being stabbed by a sharp weapon, Mr. West fell to the ground and did not move much, so he stopped moving."

There were traces of crawling on the ground. Lena squatted down and took a little soil from the ground.

"The soil here has been tested, but strangely, there are not many traces of bleeding. After all, the cause of death of Mr. West is excessive blood loss and inhalation of toxic gases from the fire, but there are very few blood residues in the soil under his body."

When Klaus saw Lena's action, he made it clear.

"We think it's high temperature evaporation, but it's not very logical."

"Little blood..."

Lena thought, and soon, an inspiration flashed in his eyes. Lena kept wandering in the same place, and everything in the ruins flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he stopped and had an idea in his head.Lena quickly left the ruins of the plantation, came to ohmster hospital, found the forensic, confirmed his guess.

After reaching a positive conclusion, Lena went back to the hotel.

The half decorated hotel was a little lonely. Aunt Gwen sat behind the counter, feeling disappointed. Lena came up to her.

"Aunt Gwen, where's uncle Mason? I have something to tell you. It's about West."

"Ah..."

aunt Gwen came back to herself for a long time. She hesitated for a long time before she slowly got up and walked to the restaurant. Her back was very small.

Ten minutes later, uncle Mason and aunt Gwen sat opposite Lena.

"Uncle Mason, aunt Gwen, about your son West, I have basically been able to confirm the cause of his death and the process of his death through investigation today."

Lena said as peacefully as he could. He knew that it might be exciting for the two old people to say this now, but Lena didn't want to let all that West had done be submerged in the dark.

"What can he have to say? He left, came back and died without considering other people's feelings!"

Uncle Mason clenched his fist and trembled slightly.

"No, uncle Mason, West is not like that."

Lena said in a negative voice.

"West didn't know why he came to the plantation. He found the farmers who were imprisoned by criminals. He tried to rescue them, but he happened to meet the criminal. After a battle between the two, West was stabbed in the chest by a sharp blade. The criminal tried to destroy the body and ignited the warehouse of the plantation."

Listening to Lena's statement, the windmills did not speak.

"The criminal left, but west didn't die immediately because of his chest injury. He used magic to untie the ropes for other farmers and let them leave the fire, but the fire was so big that people couldn't break through the flames outside."

Lenaton paused, seemed to be adjusting his mood, and then said.

"At this time, West used his last strength to cast a magic. He used his own blood as the carrier and tidal surges to clear up the high-temperature flames for other farmers and open up the way."

"..."

uncle Mason's expression froze.

Shock, remorse, sadness, and forbearance were all mixed together. His hands trembled slightly and his fists clenched, trying to suppress his emotions.

"West's surge was taught by me. It was the first spell he learned. I told him that if he was trapped in a fire, he could use this spell to escape..."

after a long time, uncle Mason spoke and said in a choked voice.

"... so you always remember, stupid son."
