Chapter 398 397. It’s Time Again for the Famous Detective Who Looks Like a Child but Is Smarter than Ordinary People.

According to Dorothy's description, she was called over by Principal Muzer that day because the batch of instruments was seized by the Mage Academy of the Kingdom of Bozeco, so Principal Muzer quickly asked her to come over and deal with the matter.

Although there is a considerable degree of minor conflict between Aundair and the Kingdom of Bozeko, this does not affect the communication between the mages.

Even for mages, nationality is not an absolute attribute. No matter which country they arrive, mages can become decent people in the upper class.

Therefore, for contacts and exchanges between legal practitioners, as long as they do not hold positions in important domestic departments, communication with mages from other countries only requires reporting.

And it is not necessarily necessary to report, because many mages think that reporting is too cumbersome.

In fact, this rule is just a decoration in many cases, because Aundair knows very well what she can provide, and there is basically no possibility that the Baizeke Kingdom can provide it.

Aundair is the country of mages. It can be said that if a priest wants to go further in his career path, he needs to study in Aundair instead of going to other places because of certain benefits.

Logically speaking, this is the case, but it is very clear that in this incident, there is definitely an insider inside the Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy.

"The principal asked me to lead a delegation on a mission to the Napa Port authorities. At the same time, it would be best to secretly get the instruments back through trade."

The Comprehensive Academy of Magic in Winterhold invested an unknown amount of money for that batch of instruments, and Principal Muzer would never give up the instruments just like that.

Obviously, the "best" way Dorothy said is to use trading methods secretly, so the "worst" way is very intriguing.

"Then we came to Napa Port and met with the city owner of Napa Port. The other party said that this matter was a misunderstanding and that the instruments would be returned to us as soon as possible."

"Misunderstanding? Uh-huh."

He made a long sound with his nose and had already seized the instrument before he said it was a "misunderstanding". Mo Cheng didn't believe this kind of thing.

If it was really a misunderstanding, then Mo Cheng could say that the people he killed were all suicidal. In order to prevent them from thinking too hard, Mo Cheng first rescued those people before taking action.

As long as you are thick-skinned enough, you can say this, but how many people believe it...

"Of course, the misunderstanding was just what the other party said. We don't know what happened and we don't want to know. But the other party showed a great willingness to return the instrument, so we got along quite happily at that time."

"I'll interrupt, I have a question." Mo Cheng pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and asked, "If the other party makes it clear that they don't want to return it, what is your preliminary plan?"

"Don't plan to pay it back?"

Dorothy smiled, like a thorny rose, tempting and dangerous, "The principal left something with the manufacturer and asked them to install it in the instrument. It was considered as insurance to prevent it from being robbed midway. ]. Once the [insurance] is activated, at least half of Napa Port can fly into the sky."

Burying a time bomb in your own experimental equipment?

Fucking mad scientist!

Although it is understandable to install [insurance] for valuables, there is something hidden in the precision instrument that can blow up half a giant port...

Principal Muzer's image had some subtle changes in Mo Cheng's eyes.

Mo Cheng did not continue to ask questions, and Dorothy continued: "We spent a few days negotiating the price to be paid. The principal gave me full responsibility, so the two sides quickly discussed a suitable price."

"After that, in order to celebrate, the city lord also planned to laugh at our jokes. He held a banquet in the manor and invited us to attend."

"Since the things are still in his hands, we can only attend even though we know it's not a good banquet."

"I guess that's when something happened to you."

Mo Cheng's face looked a little strange. The city lord held a banquet and then something happened. It seemed like he had just experienced this kind of scenario.

But think about it, in addition to creating humans and more artificial humans, the nightlife of the nobles in this world probably only consists of having banquets at night.

"The city lord is dead, killed by our people."

Quietly, Dorothy said something very remarkable.

"The city lord was assassinated and confirmed dead. The clear evidence left at the scene pointed out that the murderer was a member of the delegation."

"You didn't deny it?"

A member of the delegation killed a powerful nobleman in the Kingdom of Bezeco. This kind of thing was not handled well enough to trigger a war.

"We also want to deny it, but at the murder scene, everyone saw with their own eyes that Bulwer stabbed the city lord in the chest with a long sword. The wounds and fingerprints all showed that the murder weapon was in Bulwer's hand."

"We insisted that Bulwer was under mind control, but that guy told his plan to assassinate the city lord in a clear and coherent language, as well as the causes and consequences. Others planned to subdue us and take us into custody, but we were not very willing, so we planned to break in first Go out and investigate slowly."

"Then we found out that we were poisoned, our magic power was suppressed, and there were many strong men on the other side, so we were sent to the dungeon to be guarded."

"On the second day after being detained, something incredible happened."

When she said this, Dorothy's face was full of confusion and fear, "Everyone went crazy. Everyone in the entire mansion took up weapons and attacked others indiscriminately. We also escaped from the dungeon because of the chaos. , when I was about to escape from the mansion, I met the group of people who were chasing me."

"Because the magic power was suppressed, we simply scattered and ran away. Before leaving, I saw the city lord's mansion being [cleaned] by the group of people and setting a fire at the same time. With the equipment on me, the pursuers and I were able to get around each other. For a while.”

"Then I was caught up by the pursuer, and you know what happened next."

After listening to Dorothy's story, Mo Cheng said nothing and tapped the table gently with his hand. He tried to find some clues from what Dorothy told him, but found nothing.

He couldn't help but look at his task panel, hoping to get some hints, but it was obviously in vain.

"The suspicion of the incident lies in the palace of the city lord."

Mo Cheng lowered his head and muttered: "There are two doubts that need to be clarified. One is that Bulwer assassinated the city lord. Is he still alive?"

There was only Dorothy left in the delegation, which Mo Cheng knew through the system, but he asked about Bulwer, obviously he planned to test Dorothy.

"He died. When he escaped from the dungeon, he was killed and dismembered by those mysterious people alone. Because of this, we had no idea of ​​counterattack at that time, but directly chose to disperse and escape."

Yes, that's right.

Mo Cheng's mission panel prompts that the first item is Bulwer's death, which is completely consistent with Dorothy's statement.

"Unprovoked assassination, mysterious killer, and setting fire to others..."

"We need to go back to Napa Port. Obviously, there must be some clues in the city lord's mansion."

Thanks to [Nine-Tailed Yanhu] for the reward
