"Did you get it?"
Immediately after returning, Sylutia was asked about the results of the mission.
"Got it." She took out the bag, then asked the police officer to use tweezers to carefully remove the tin box and spray it with a special spray to show the marks left on it.
Afterwards, the police officers took out the previously saved records and compared them, and found that they were basically consistent.
"It should be him." Several people breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were seven suspects in total, based on various conditions, only 1-2 people were the most likely. If this waiter was not the suspect, then they might have gone in the wrong direction.
In the early morning, when the waiter left "Night Fragrance" after get off work, a police car suddenly stopped on the way home. Several police officers rushed out and surrounded him, and then arrested him.
The next day, the police officer who got the preliminary results told Sylutia with a tired look on his face.
"We may still not have found the real murderer."
"Why?" The girl was puzzled.
"The other party did not have strong fighting strength, nor did he remember that he had committed a murder. He recalled that during the time when the crime occurred, he was doing other things. Although he was alone, some of the traces he left behind can be matched."
"More importantly, another death occurred last night."
"This..."
"It seems that the other party is also a capable person who is proficient in tracing methods. He deliberately found this waiter as a scapegoat, and even used some method to imitate the same fingerprint as his. If the waiter is traced, he deliberately makes this waiter take the blame. Once the waiter is caught, he will let the other party know and be careful to avoid it."
"Is it too late for us to put the waiter back now?"
"I'm afraid it's too late. This waiter's mentality is unstable. Besides, on the day he left, "Night Fragrance" probably also laid him off." someone answered.
"Wouldn't all the hard work done before be in vain?" Some people are unwilling to do so.
Inside Police Station, everyone was discussing the results. After Sylutia walked in, he stood and waited for a while, listening to people's discussions while constantly thinking and analyzing.
No, no, there must be a flaw in this, and the other party will definitely leave a flaw in his identity, she thought silently in her heart.
This is not because she thinks that the other party is not capable enough, but to use this "strange news" to condense Secret Speech Aspect, she must leave a channel or some kind of information to "guide" the power of Aspect Power to herself. Otherwise, it will be a wedding dress for others. He will definitely leave some clues for people to discuss the "strange news". When they believe the "strange news", they will identify him as the target, otherwise it will not be him to condense the Aspect Power rank.
So what exactly are the clues left by the other party!?
Fingerprints, height, weight, and footprints are all things that only investigators will pay attention to. When ordinary people discuss this series of events, what is their first impression? What is the image of the man behind the scenes in their minds? What is the difference between this series of events and other ordinary murder cases?
Hatred Orc, manipulation of threads.
The image of hatred Orc is vague. Asura District Has anyone publicly issued a declaration of hatred?
On the other side, the image of manipulating silk threads is clearer, so who in Asura District is good at manipulating silk threads.
Sylutia is indeed good at it, but her ability has not been shown in front of her classmates and the public, and only Police Station staff knows more about it.
So, when it comes to people who are "good at thread", who do you think of first?
In the Mage Alliance, there are very few factions that play with silk thread alone, and the "silk thread" runes and related abilities that Sylutia currently knows are all from School No. 89's special course "Sobis Magic Thread Manipulation".
"Sobis Magic Thread Manipulation" is one of the skills of "Phantom Puppet School". Except for School No. 89, this skill course will be taught to new students. Outsiders who want to learn can only join
Only Phantom Puppet School or Academy, a subordinate of "Phantom Puppet School", will have a chance.
Those who can join Phantom Puppet School and Academy are all Transcendent of level three or above, and those behind the scenes use "strange news" to condense Aspect Power people will never exceed the third level, because this kind of "little fight" can only bring the second level to the third level at most. If you want to condense Secret Speech Aspect above the "fourth level", it cannot be easily achieved by such rumors and secrets.
In other words, the other party can only be a second-level apprentice who has also studied the "Sobis Magic Thread Manipulation" course at School No. 89 and is well-known in the local area...
After telling the police about this guess, the director took Sylutia to the school again and went to the office for investigation and questioning.
"Do you want to know who has been good at the course "Sobis Magic Thread Manipulation" before?" Mage, who teaches this course, was thoughtful.
After recalling it for a while, he said a name.
"Abs Jellion, he graduated ten years ago. He studied this course very well. When he was still graduating, he performed the Doll opera using silk threads, which aroused heated discussion among the students. This incident was very popular at the time. Many people discussed him and believed that he would become the elite of "Phantom Puppet School"."
"What happened next? Where did he go?" Sylutia was curious.
"I don't know, I came here to teach six years ago, or I heard the name Abbs Jellivan from my colleagues in casual chat."
"He seemed to have encountered some setbacks later on, and things were not going well." Another older teacher who came over answered.
"I met him when I was young and I was deeply impressed."
"Can you tell me your impressions at that time?"
"At that time... Abbys Jeliven was about 19 years old at the time. He came from a small town near the North Sea. When he first arrived at the school, his foundation was not good, but his talent was good. During the three years at the school, he quickly laid a good foundation and learned the "Sobis Magic Thread Manipulation" course very well. Because of this, many female students were obsessed with him at the time."
"But he is not in love because he wants to enter the advanced Academy first. At that time, he will have a wider range of choices and can meet better girls."
"This statement is not my fabrication or speculation, but what he said himself at the time. At the party, he said that the reason why he achieved good results was because he avoided a lot of time-wasting things."
"Then you just said that he encountered setbacks. What do you mean by not going well?"
"After graduating from school, he has already entered the second level. At that time, he will prepare for the third level. He hopes to condense better core abilities, so he chooses a more difficult secret method, which requires very expensive resources." These words reminded Sylutia that she also spent a lot of rare gems when she advanced to the third level of gardener.
"At that time, he was very eager, but lacked funds, so he went to the black market to buy resources. It turned out that the resources were actually defective, causing the advancement ceremony to fail and tainting his destiny." He sighed.
"After the failure, he was ridiculed by many jealous classmates for his greed for gain, which led to the fiasco. At that time, he was hit hard and disappeared from sight after that." The teacher answered.
"No one knows where he went now?"
"I don't know, maybe other acquaintances know."
After getting this information, although there were still many questions, Director Police Station became particularly excited. After he returned to Police Station, he immediately had people start checking various files and records.
"Retrieve nearly three years of rental contracts." The director waved his arm.
"He definitely can't afford the house in Asura District. If he rents a house, the contract must be signed every three years, and a copy of the contract will be filed at Police Station. His current address can definitely be found."
Then Sylutia saw a dozen people from Police Station rummaging around the thick stack of various forms and sheets on the table, extremely busy.
Time passed by minute by second, and it was not found until dark. At this time, the lights in Police Station were brightly lit, and a police officer went out to order food for dinner at the instruction of the chief.
An hour later, the purchased food was delivered, and each police officer was assigned a portion of steaming wheat bran bread, two scallion sausages, and a cup of hot water.
"Miss Hedra, please have one too." The director handed her a Rosemary Bread wrapped in a carton.
"Thank you." Sylutia took it, ate it in small bites, and continued to look through the case records during this period.
"Why did the other party specifically target Orc?" She was a little curious.
"Maybe it's because the Orc victim can control this "strange news" just right." The director thought for a while and answered.
"If the person who died was a human student, there would probably be a descendant of a big shot among them. In that case, he would face a very severe investigation. Since the other party is only at the second level, the risk he can bear is limited and he does not dare to take too big a risk."
"Orc Is there no big shot in the Mage Alliance?" Sylutia feels that there are still many Orc classmates in the class.
"Of course there are, but the number is very small, and the probability of encountering them is also very low." The director simply answered.
"Beast blood will give them advantages in movement and flesh and blood abilities, but the price is that it is difficult to calm down. For most Orc, calming down means becoming weaker, preventing them from using the intuition and instinct hidden in their blood."
"Mage is a profession that requires a lot of rationality and control, so it is destined to be unsuitable for Orc."
"However, not all the Alliance are Mage. Many positions are more suitable for Orc with strong close combat and athletic abilities." He looked at the night view outside the window and lit a cigarette to refresh himself.
"What do you think of Orc?" Sylutia asked.
"I don't like them because these guys are very impulsive and they are responsible for many cases in the jurisdiction. But it's easy to deal with them because these guys have straight minds and can easily figure out what happened."
"If the plotter of the case is Mage or an apprentice of Mage, it will often be very troublesome to investigate. Smart people, especially smart people with all kinds of knowledge, have always been a headache. Although they do not even account for one tenth of the crimes they commit, they also consume the most energy." He puffed out smoke.
"Hedra Have you ever considered making some extra money in the future?" the director suddenly said.
"Huh?"
"It's like this. After three years of graduation, many students will enter the stage of independent study to prepare for admission to the advanced Academy. At this time, they need to accumulate resources and improve their expertise in a certain field, so they need to study more expensive courses, etc., which all cost money, and many students will find a job or do something to get subsidies."
"You have a very sharp mind and strong observation skills. You are very suitable for being a detective."
"You complimented me." Sylutia thought for a while.
"I may not have that much time, but if I encounter trouble, I can provide some limited help."
"That's enough." The other party nodded.
Not long after, a shout came from the room.
"Found it! He lives at Lupine Street 341."
"Is that there?" The director listened and turned around and walked into the room with Sylutia.
In the room, a group of police officers gathered around the boring and ordinary form, and on one line, the name of Abbys Jelleven was clearly written.
"The construction there was earlier and the rent was cheaper. It seems like he was saving money." The director looked at the form.
"Without further delay, let's set off now. It happens to be late at night. He must have gone home to sleep and rest."
The group of people got into three police cars, rumbled out of Police Station, and drove to the target location.
Tens of minutes later, not far from their destination, three police cars stopped. Then the officers got out and quickly approached again.
After surrounding the apartment, a plainclothes policeman knocked on the door and entered. Under the guidance of the apartment manager, he walked to the room in the record.
After opening the door, the room was in a mess. All kinds of clothes were scattered around, and many things were overturned on the ground. The bedroom window was wide open, and the curtains were floating empty.
"He ran away!" the police officer immediately shouted, notifying people downstairs and outside.
At this time, the chief asked a small number of police officers to stay and continue to control, while he led most of the officers to investigate from various alleys around the apartment.
Staying downstairs in the apartment, Sylutia looked up, looked around the window for a long time, and then walked around the outside of the apartment. Then she walked into the apartment. She first reached the third floor where her target was, and then continued up to the corridor in the middle of the night.
There are not many residents in this apartment, probably because of its age. The corridors are a little damp and cold, and there are leaks in some places. Sylutia I walked up the stairs and didn't see a single resident coming out.
After arriving at the top sixth floor, she walked around and then walked towards the row of unrented rooms at the end. The doors here were loose, and the cold wind at night passed through the abandoned rooms and echoed in the corridors, making bursts of calls.
Suddenly, when walking somewhere, Sylutia stopped.
She blinked, and the seemingly empty passage in front of her was filled with several extremely thin transparent threads, which were almost impossible to observe in the dark environment. If she rushed forward with brute force, her entire body would be easily cut open by the threads and turned into pieces of flesh and blood.
Seeing that the ambush was unsuccessful, footsteps sounded from the room at the end of the corridor, and then a figure wearing a top hat and dressed like a magician appeared. Half of his profile was illuminated by the moonlight through the abandoned window, pale and cold, and the eyes on his face seemed to be full of resentment, staring at the girl who stood motionless.
"How did you know I was here?"
"I don't know, I just feel that the apartment needs to be checked because I didn't see anyone jumping out of the window." Sylutia bent down and raised her skirt to salute. Her black hair highlighted her slender waist, and the black and gold Griffin on her collar stood out slightly in the darkness.
"Yes, Master Abbys Jellivan."
"Humph."
