I'm really not a top magician

Secondly, Fareus, the most likely suspect in this case, happens to have an alibi.

And what’s more,

Fareus's alibi is Luna herself.

No matter how much Luna doubted Fareus, she had to believe it because she saw it with her own eyes. Fareus did not take action at that time. Of course, it was this precise surveillance that made Luna more suspicious that Fareus must know something. Even if he was not involved, he must know something.

Judging from the current situation, perhaps Fareus deliberately showed up to attract his attention, and then sent his secret allies to assassinate Leif.

Although this speculation is reasonable, it leads to another possibility:

Because the building of the clock tower is protected by a barrier, outsiders cannot come in unless the barrier is broken, and Lord El-Melloi also said that no one has broken the barrier.

So if Fareus really has an accomplice, then this accomplice must be someone living under the same roof as him.

So who is this accomplice?

Or, is my guess wrong?

Thinking of this, Luna suddenly felt overwhelmed, because there was too little known information now, but there were still too many unknown doubts. It was difficult for her to infer more truth from the limited information.

She needs more clues!

……

Luna couldn't think of any other clues for a moment, so she handed the report back to Coroner Cattleya.

But when she looked up at Cattleya's face again, she gradually felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before:

"Excuse me"

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Cattleya's serious face never seemed to smile. Luna had a vague feeling that she was wondering what she had been through to have such a cold expression on her face.

"You look familiar to me. Have we met here somewhere?" Luna asked curiously.

If she really knew this cold guy in front of her, maybe she could take the opportunity to get closer to him and gather some information.

"Really? I think you've got the wrong person." Cattleya shook her head and before Luna could ask any more questions, she rushed her out of the autopsy room.

……

Coming out of the morgue, Luna thought she was here to solve the case, but unexpectedly, more and more questions arose.

This made her very distressed.

I don't even know where to start looking further.

Just as Luna was contemplating the case, a male voice called out from behind:

"Miss Luna!"

"Miss Luna!"

Luna suddenly came to her senses. She looked back and saw that the person who called her was a stranger. He looked ordinary and seemed to have no special features. Luna searched her mind for someone she knew, but after thinking about it over and over again, she found that she did not know such a person.

Could it be that I’m a fan?

Luna immediately thought of what happened to Aika Sajo's fans.

It's not that Luna is bragging, although many boys in the Clock Tower come to pursue her because of her family's money, of course, on the other hand, they are also attracted by her beauty.

Although she cannot be called a beauty of all ages, she is still a pretty good-looking woman.

However, most of the people Luna encountered before were bootlickers. After all, bootlickers can't get houses, so she rejected them all.

But she has no experience in this area when it comes to fans.

Being too beautiful is a sin.

"Who are you?" Luna decided to ask first, just in case.

"This is a letter that Senior Sajo asked me to deliver to you. She also said that it contains clues to this case." The strange man handed the letter to Luna.

Luna did not take the letter immediately, but stared at the man vigilantly until the man reacted. Then he took out a small gift for help from his pocket and handed it to Luna.

Luna confirmed again and again, and after confirming that the distress gift was written by Sajo Aika, she received the letter from the strange man.

Leon handed the letter to Luna personally. He carefully observed her facial expression, from seriousness to surprise, from surprise to confusion, and from confusion to seriousness.

Leon didn't dare to say anything during the whole process.

Before this, Leon followed Aika Sajo's request to investigate the mastermind behind the assassination in the clock tower.

Of course, in order to gain the trust of Aika Sajo, he took the opportunity to eliminate all the other assassins who planned to assassinate her.

At first, Leon was quite uneasy about this kind of killing first and reporting later, but every time he got rid of other killers, he would inexplicably receive a thank-you letter and a bottle of potion.

The content of the thank-you letter is actually very simple, just a simple praise of Lyon's recent performance, which is undoubtedly to Aika Sajo.

Furthermore, Leon had taken the additional potion, and his already broken soul had actually begun to slowly heal under its effects. If the formula for this potion were to be distributed, the Clock Tower might actually go crazy.

However, after confirming that Aika Sajo has this ability, Leon decided to help Aika Sajo. Only in this way would she help Lisa recover.

But later, as he conducted an in-depth investigation, he discovered that the mastermind behind the assassination seemed to be related to Fareus. In order to better investigate the incident, he also came to the temple area to conduct further investigation.

Of course, during the investigation, he also stumbled upon clues to Rafe's case.

After confirming the authenticity of these clues, when Leon was about to report it to Sajo Aika, the latter actually took the initiative to find him.

He also said that he had a general understanding of his intelligence, but hoped that he would report the information to Luna.

Then he handed me a letter and a token of trust.

As for how Aika Sajo knew about the operation, Leon didn't want to know at all.

Now he just wants to complete the task quickly.

Luna looked at it for a long time before finally looking up from the letter: "What's your name?"

"Leon, just call me Leon." Leon replied simply.

This time he did not use a false name to deceive others. Perhaps the last encounter with the child caused him to relax his faith at a certain moment, which led to the risk of being recognized and using his real name.

To be honest, Lyon himself couldn't figure out why he was doing this. He wondered if he had lost his mind.

However, when Luna asked his name again, he subconsciously said his real name. But Luna probably didn't know this name.

Luna pondered the name over and over again. After confirming that she really didn't know it, she closed the letter and asked seriously:

"Sha Tiao said you have a clue about this case. Can you tell me about it?"

ps: Two chapters today.

Do you want to persecute the author up close?

I put it all out there!

[cover face]

Chapter 126: Swearing to the Soul (Part )

"Sha Tiao said you have a clue about this case. Can you tell me about it?"

Luna looked at the young man named Leon in front of her again. He seemed to be in his early twenties, but she always felt that the guy in front of her was much more mature than his youth.

He doesn't look like a normal grown-up young man.

However, since it involved the other party's privacy, Luna did not ask too many questions.

"Before this, I was ordered by Sajo Aika to investigate the mastermind behind the [assassination incident]. According to my investigation, the mastermind is most likely Fareus, so I followed the team to the temple with the purpose of investigating Fareus."

According to Sajo Aika's request, Leon directly explained the cause and effect of the matter. The purpose of this was also to achieve accuracy when conveying information.

However, after hearing that Fareus was the mastermind, Luna was also stunned. Could it be that the assassination rumored in the clock tower at the time had the shadow of Fareus?

Luna's suspicion of Fareus deepened.

Lyon continued:

"Just last night, when I was passing by the clock tower, I happened to see a black shadow using projections to attack Leif's room. However, Leif didn't catch up with the shadow right away. I saw him take two letters out of his pocket, but they disappeared in an instant. I think he must have used some special method to hide the letters."

"Then I secretly followed Leif. I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid far away. Leif shook me off halfway, but in the end, I still arrived at the temple with Leif. But strangely, the person who met Leif in the temple was the same black shadow. I believe it was the same person."

"There's another very strange thing. After Leif met with the shadow, they didn't fight. Instead, they had a brief conversation. However, due to the distance, I couldn't hear their conversation clearly. Afterwards, Leif committed suicide with a sword, and the shadow was responsible for disposing of his body."

"After Leif committed suicide, the shadow's behavior was very strange. He immediately returned to Leif's room. From outside, he seemed to be cleaning up the scene, but it looked more like he was looking for something."

Lyon described everything he saw in great detail.

But this time, Luna was silent for a long time.

In fact, Luna didn't really believe what this person said, because what he said was a bit incoherent and full of doubts in many places.

For example: First, when he encountered someone attacking Leif, he did not report it to the people in the clock tower, but instead followed Leif. This behavior alone is very suspicious. What is his purpose in following Leif? Is it curiosity or fun?

Also, if the previous point can be explained by Sajo Aika's informant, then why didn't he report it immediately between Leif's death and Lisa's awakening? Was he busy with something else at the time?

For these two reasons, Luna shouldn't have believed what Leon said.

However, considering that the other party was able to produce a token of Aika Sajo's legacy, and the handwriting on the letter and the unique traces of magic were indeed the same as Aika Sajo's, Luna temporarily chose to believe Leon's words.

Luna was silent for a long time, then she looked up and asked, "Did you see the shadow's face clearly?"

Leon shook his head: "Because it was dusk, I didn't dare to get close for too long, so I didn't see the other person's appearance clearly."

"It's okay," Luna shook her head and said solemnly, "The information you provided is very useful."

After briefly confirming some more detailed details, Leon quickly said goodbye to Luna.

He quickly escaped into the depths of the forest. His years of experience as a killer convinced him that no one was following him.

After repeatedly confirming that no one was following him, he walked to a big tree and said:

"Ms. Sajo, I have conveyed all the information you asked me to pass on to Ms. Luna."

"very good."

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like Sha Tiao's love song came from behind the tree.

For a moment, the wind stopped breathing,

The rustling jungle suddenly became silent at this moment.

Suddenly, something black rose from the shadow behind the tree and formed into a human shape.

When Leon looked carefully, it was the shape of Sajo Aika.

Leon judged that this should be Sajo Aika's magic, which seemed to be a magic that could move shadows at will.

But what surprised Leon even more was that Sajo Aika could actually use this magic to create another self.

The most terrifying thing about this kind of magic is not only that the shadow magic has a human appearance, which only requires magic power, but the more difficult part is how to put one's own consciousness into the shadow that can move freely.

Such a great magic trick is worthy of being created by Aika Sajo!

"Soon after, I will help you cure the child." After listening to Leon's report, Sajo Aika gave the other party a simple reply.

Hearing this, Leon was quite happy: "Thank you very much! Thank you, Miss Sajo!"

After hearing that the child was saved, Leon felt that the burden that had been weighing on him was finally lifted.

However, Shadow felt nothing for Leon's gratitude. After all, she did so much just to achieve her own goals. Moreover, she had seen through everything in the world since she was a child, and she had long been insensitive to emotions such as gratitude.

After all, if she hadn't encountered such an interesting soul a year ago, she might have driven out things that went against society. Compared to her previous joyless life, the daily persecution she endured was full of freshness. This creature's gradual growth always surprised the omniscient being.

"All this is what you deserve." Shadow said perfunctorily.

Then he took out a piece of letter paper from somewhere and handed it to Leon.

When Leon saw the contents of the letter, the expression on his face changed from surprise to anger, and from anger to relief.

"Is this true?"

Leon's voice was obviously not as trembling as it was at the beginning. On the contrary, it was very smooth because of relief. "If I go over, that girl won't die?"

"Who knows? Even the wisest of calculations cannot predict the future. Believe it or not, but before that, I want to confirm one thing with you."

Shadow was mumbling.

"What's the matter?" Leon asked.

"You should understand that I have my own unique way of observing the future. In the future I see, you will die protecting that child. But before that, I ask you again, even if this is the case, will you still go to save that child?"

The sound of Shatiao Aige weighed on him,

It made him breathless for a moment.

It's like facing death.
