The intelligence officer shouted angrily, and the magic power of the seventh-level wizard turned into substance and pressed down. Cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes of several guys who were howling for injustice, and their bodies trembled like sieves.
"Master, the seven people who have been found to have handled the letter are all here. There is also a border trader named Matthew Fraker who left Weiss by boat along the canal last night. The hunters are pursuing him."
"Matthew is a native of Weiss. He runs a caravan with his brother Sam. They have been active in the border areas in recent years. A month ago, he returned to Weiss alone under the pretext of visiting relatives."
"Matthew ran away, what about his brother?"
Lucius held the pen and wrote on the paper, circled the name of Matthew Fraker.
"Something went wrong. When the hunters found Sam, his wife and children had all been killed. Sam himself was also seriously injured and dying, with only one breath left. According to him, the murderer was Matthew."
"..."
Lucius's pen stopped. He didn't expect that Matthew was such a ruthless person.
"I understand. Uncle Nick, please continue your investigation and let me know if you find anything."
"The duty lies."
The intelligence officer bowed and left. Lucius turned to look at Iveliya and whispered:
"Well, did you figure out anything?"
"No." Iveliya shook her head. "None of them are Fallen. The problem must be with Matthew."
"And did you notice, Brother Lu, starting with Matthew and ending with you, exactly nine people handled that letter. Whether it was intentional or accidental, this number doesn't give people a good feeling."
After being targeted by the Chaos Cult, Iveliya crammed a lot of relevant knowledge, and the current figures immediately aroused her vigilance.
Each Supreme Lord has a representative number. The Fallen believe that by using the corresponding sacred number in sacrifices, they can please the Supreme Lord and gain more glances.
And the sacred number of [Destiny] is exactly nine.
Damn it, it’s this damn destiny weaver again. He’s responsible for all the bad things!
"Are you saying that this might be a trap deliberately set by the other party?"
Lucius smiled lightly, not feeling any pressure at all:
"Isn't that great? Finally, some fun."
We're in Ves now! Ves is our territory, and it's time to show off our skills!
Today, Brother Lu will use himself as bait to attack the Chaos Cult's lair.
"Let's first interrogate these guys and see if there are any clues we've missed."
Lucius put down his pen, stood up from his chair, and looked at the seven suspects who had handled the letter with eyes as sharp as knives.
"I am Lucius, son of Grand Duke Glade. I am here to interrogate you. Each of you now has two minutes to state yourselves."
"Start from you!"
Lucius pointed to the first person who handled the matter after Matthew Fraker - Suspect A.
"I, I really didn't know it was a threatening letter. That bastard Matthew gave me this letter and 20 gold coins. The letter was in several layers of envelopes. He told me to open the first layer and follow the instructions on the cover."
Suspect A trembled as he spoke, "After I opened it, it triggered the magical contract inside. It required me to hand the letter over to Suspect B and give him half of the gold coins. If I kept all the gold coins, I would be punished by the contract."
"what?"
Hearing this, the first person to lose his composure was Suspect B. He looked at Suspect A with uncontrollable rage and said furiously:
"But you only gave me five gold coins! You piece of shit!"
"Did I let you talk?"
Lucius glanced at Person B, who immediately shut up.
"The arrangement you received should be similar to A's. You'll also receive half of C's reward, right?"
B nodded.
"So, how many gold coins did you give to C in the end?"
B raised a trembling finger...
"Wang Chaolimenma!"
After the interrogation, it was found that the person who was most vulnerable was the postman responsible for delivering the letter.
The others at least received some compensation, but the person who handled the letter before him was instructed to put it directly into the mailbox.
The postman, who was doing his normal work, suffered an unexpected disaster.
"Okay, I have a basic understanding of the situation."
Lucius called the guards up and made arrangements for them:
"Release the postman and give him some gold coins."
"As for the remaining few, send them all to the mines. They can only return after earning sixty gold coins and paying the fine."
The normal monthly income of a miner is ten gold coins, which means these people have to mine for half a year.
It's very unreasonable, but people always have to pay the price for their greed. When the powerful take a one-size-fits-all approach, they don't care whether it's fair or not.
"It seems that the focus should still be on Matthew. Should we go to his brother's place to investigate the situation?"
Iveliya took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. The dark and damp interrogation room was really uncomfortable.
"No rush, let's shake some people first."
Lucius took out the communication crystal and muttered a few words. After a few seconds, the crystal flashed green light.
"Okay."
Lucius put away the crystal with satisfaction, revealing a confident smile:
"We have four eighth-level guards around us now, so we're safe. Let's go."
Will it win?
Will win!
Sam Fleck currently lives in a church hospital on the edge of the city of Weiss. After being rescued by hunters disguised as sheriffs, they temporarily placed him here after comprehensive consideration.
This place is very close to his residence, and he himself said that he has acquaintances in the hospital who can transfer him to the special treatment ward, and he is very satisfied with this arrangement.
"Young lord? Ah, am I dreaming? Please forgive me for not being able to salute..."
Sam, lying on the hospital bed, immediately widened his eyes when he saw the face of the visitor. He couldn't believe that Lucius would come here.
"It doesn't matter."
Lucius waved his hand, brought two chairs, and asked Ivilia, who was accompanying him, to sit down with him.
"I happened to hear about your misfortune. I didn't expect Weiss to have such a villain."
"But don't worry, all evil will be brought to justice. Now, can you tell me about Matthew Fraker?"
"That damned, shameless birth!"
As soon as his brother's name was mentioned, Sam immediately became furious. His already bloodshot eyes became even more terrifying, and his chest heaved violently with his breathing.
But in the end, he could only wave his fists weakly, with tears streaming down his face.
"Scarlett...my poor wife, who was killed by him because she refused to obey that birth...and little Anne..."
Lucius:? ? ?
I'm funny, why are there still melons?
28-The Great Demon of the Supreme Heaven
Scarlett is the girl who lives next door to brothers Sam and Matthew. She is cheerful, enthusiastic, full of energy, and of course, most importantly, she is beautiful.
The three of them grew up together and had a very good relationship. When they reached the age of love, it was no surprise that the two brothers fell in love with Scarlett at the same time.
But there is only one Scarlett, and she has the right to make her own choices.
Scarlett finally chose her brother Sam, while her disheartened brother Matthew chose to take over the family's border trade business. From then on, he traveled to the border thousands of miles away and only came back occasionally.
"A month ago, Matthew came back from the border. He told me that he wasn't planning on leaving this time and wanted me to help him find a place to live. He also said that he was already old enough and it was time for him to find a wife."
"I originally thought that Matthew had really let go of everything and was enthusiastically arranging these things for him, but I didn't expect..."
Sam raised his hand to wipe away his tears and choked:
"That person attacked Scarlett while I was away!"
"Scarlett would rather die than obey, so that bastard just killed her... and my daughter Anne, who witnessed it all, was also killed by that bastard!"
"And what was I doing at the time? I had just found a girl from a good family for him, and I was so happy that I wanted to go home quickly to share the good news with him."
"But when I pushed open the door, I only saw the blood of my wife and children all over the floor and Matthew holding a knife. I fought him desperately, but I don't know when he became a transcendent. I was no match for him..."
Quack! What a good mouthful!
Lucius and Iveliya listened with great interest, never expecting that such love, hate and vengeance would be involved.
However, there was one thing that caught Lucius's attention——
"Are you saying that Matthew suddenly became a transcendent?"
"Yes!" Sam became more and more excited. "My brother and I are both mediocre, otherwise we wouldn't have been rejected by the magic school. How could that loser..."
The mood is not right.
Lucius frowned slightly, but he continued to ask:
"So, has Matthew come into contact with any suspicious people in the past month? Like the Fallen?"
"Ah! Yes! Yes!"
Sam's eyes sparkled, and he said hurriedly:
"The Fallen, it must be the Fallen! Matthew has been secretly interacting with a group of mysterious guys this month. No wonder he became a transcendent. It turns out he borrowed the power of the evil god!"
"This damned bastard, plane traitor..."
Hooked.
Sam's behavior seemed to be one that he couldn't help himself, but in Lucius's opinion, it seemed more like he was eager to accuse Matthew of being a fallen person.
Now, he was basically certain that there was something hidden behind this matter.
I looked at Ivilia and found that she had the same doubt.
"I already understand the basic situation. Someone will inform you if there is any progress."
"Xiao Ai, let's go first..."
"Hehe, my stupid brother, the way you lie is still so disgusting."
Just as Lucius was about to take Iveliya away, a sinister voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Immediately afterwards, a loud noise was heard from the ceiling, and a man in a black robe jumped down from the mezzanine.
Lucius:? ? ?
No buddy, how did you get in?
"It's you, it's you!"
Sam screamed as he looked at the man in black robe. Obviously, the man in black robe was his younger brother Matthew.
