After the supporting mage arrived, water magic began to extinguish the warehouse from above. When the fire was slightly smaller, the warehouse door was opened, and the guards and security team in the warehouse area finally came into play and started to put out the open flames. A dark fire that may rekindle.However, it has been nearly an hour since the fire was completely covered, and the responsible person in the warehouse area finally arrived. However, looking at the scene in front of him, the person in charge who was still wearing pajamas almost fainted on the spot.

Several warehouses of Sir Phillips, one of the three giants in Liberty City, have been completely destroyed by fire. Goods worth at least hundreds of millions of miles have been burned. The high temperature even melted some of the precious metal minerals stored into molten iron. , The whole fire scene can be described as terrible.Thinking of the anger from the big slave businessman Sir Phillips, thinking of his instant bankruptcy and even his family members would all become slaves, the person in charge almost burst into tears when he woke up emotionally.

There was a fire in the warehouse area for decades, and it caused unimaginable losses. The most important thing is that all the warehouses that passed the fire belonged to Phillips. The conspiracy theory was almost the next day. The moment the sun rose, it spread all over the streets and alleys of the free city. Whether it was the gangsters in the dark streets or the nobles and merchants in the upper area, the fire in the warehouse area instantly replaced the previous slave riots and became everyone’s after-dinner tea. Topic of small talk.

But when the news reached Sir Phillips' ears, the Big Three of the free city was unusually calm, only issuing an order to strengthen the guard of his mansion and quickly ascertain the situation.

As for why such an order was issued, it was actually very simple. As a slave merchant, Phillips didn’t know how many people’s blood was on his hands. People on the entire continent who wanted to take his life together could form a legion. This time The several warehouses that caught fire happened to belong to Phillips' property. If it was an accident, it wouldn't make sense.There hasn’t been a fire in the warehouse area for decades. How could it be possible that Phillips’s industry had been recruited this time. Obviously, this was a targeted destruction.

If the opponent can sneak into the free city and set fire in the heavily guarded warehouse area, next time the opponent will find his head directly, Phillips has to consider his own life safety!At the same time, the intelligence network belonging to Phillips is also operating in an instant. This kind of challenge to his dignity must be suppressed immediately, otherwise his face will be knocked down!

Just as spies and spies began to spread across the free city.The investigation report of Huozhai District is also gradually released.

First, the investigators found some suspicious residues in the burned warehouse. After analysis, it was determined that there were magic spar and it was a magic spar injected with fire power. Obviously, this fire can be determined by no means accidental deliberate. Arson.At the same time, an empty box was found in several valuable safes with fire prevention effects. The very precious magical materials in it were taken away by the prisoners. The city security team is conducting an investigation based on this clue.The protective magic circle used to extinguish the fire, which should have been activated when a fire broke out, did not play a corresponding role. Now the wizards’ union responsible for maintaining the operation of the circle has dispatched personnel to investigate, and it has been determined whether the circle itself has a problem or Was destroyed by prisoners.

When investigators conducted a detailed investigation of the fire scene, the guards on duty at night were all detained by the city security team, especially the first patrol team that discovered the fire was even more closely questioned.From the time of the fire, the time of discovery, the situation of the fire, the surrounding environment, any details were not let go by the security team.After all, the person who suffered this time is one of the Big Three. If you don't handle it well, it is estimated that everyone's head will be hard to protect.

At the headquarters of the security team, there was a nervous atmosphere in the office responsible for investigating the fire in the warehouse area. Because it was Phillips who suffered the loss this time, the security team did not dare to neglect and immediately invited a free city. The legend-Ragwen Lux!This investigator who has repeatedly solved strange cases and is well-known in the free city.

The investigator Ragwen, who has a Chinese character face and a small beard, is sitting in his office and is tirelessly watching the records of the protective circle on the day of the fire. There are six roads and six records into the warehouse area. The screen that I clicked, Ragwen, has been watched dozens of times, but I still haven't found any clues. The screen shows that everything is normal.No suspicious outsiders have entered the warehouse area, and at night, except for the temporary delivery of goods by the staff of several chambers of commerce, no outsiders have entered.However, none of the staff members were suspected of committing the crime after the investigation.

"Mr. Ragwen, please take a break. You have been watching for more than fourteen hours." A handmaid came in and almost put it on the table.

Neither Ragwen nor the security team captain who was sitting by the side had any plans to rest. The two still stared at the surveillance screen of the array without blinking, until the black tea completely cooled down and the two finally took back their gazes.

The captain of the security team, a middle-aged man who was born as a mercenary, hugged his head in pain: "Damn! How did the other party enter the warehouse area. So many defense and detection arrays are just decorations." There is not a single suspicious record!!!"

The maid standing aside did not dare to show up. The fire in the warehouse area has made the security team, which has been under pressure recently due to the theft, even worse. The entire security team, large and small, has been cancelled and all their vacations have been dispatched. Going out to collect clues, even the few people who stayed in the headquarters were anxiously reading the information and analyzing the case.

Seeing the captain of the security team who was almost anxious all night, Gravin still stared at the picture very plainly.It wasn't until after the playback was over that Gravin finally took a sip of the cold black tea: "No need to look at this thing, there is no clue."

"Damn ~ what to do then, Mr. Gravin, this time the victim is Sir Phillips. If we can't find the perpetrator, we will all be over."

"Don't worry." Gravin was still not surprised. He threw off his beard and motioned to the maid for a cup of tea: "I just said that there are no clues in the records of the defense circle, but no clues elsewhere, at least for now. I can roughly infer some situations."

The captain of the security team seemed to have caught the straw: "Please say~ Mr. Gravin!"

Gravin took a sip of the freshly poured tea from the maid, and then took out some documents under the anxious eyes of the captain of the security team. The documents were the contents of the recent theft in Free City: "This This is the content of a report from a chamber of commerce a few days ago. The chamber reported a few days ago that it had stolen some magic spar and lost some magic materials. Now these stolen items have appeared on the scene of the fire."

The captain of the security team quickly picked up the file and scanned it carefully.

Gravin continued to put other documents on the table one by one, pointing and saying: "And these are the recent theft cases in Free City. Coincidentally, all the stolen chambers of commerce use their protective magic for security. All the formations have lost their use, and no magic array has recorded any suspicious points."

"Difficult~ Could it be said?"

"Yes!" Gravin nodded: "This time the arsonist was also not discovered by the protective magic circle when he entered the warehouse area. I think whether it is the theft case or this arson case is the same person. The other party is very likely. He is a powerful magician and possesses a wealth of magic circle knowledge!"

Looking at the document, the security team captain finally recovered his calm, and the disturbing security team leader who had no feelings of anxiety began to calmly think.

Obviously, through the methods of theft and arson cases, it is indeed possible to judge that they should be the same person, but the other party did not usually leave any useful clues at the scene, there were no witnesses, and there was no picture recorded by the protective circle. To find such a person in the free city is obviously looking for a needle in a haystack.

While riding on the security team leader to look at the document, Gravin lit his pipe and took a sip: "I know what you are thinking, but although the other party did not leave any clues on the scene, they still left me with them when they were committing the crime. clue."

Standing up and walking to the city map hung on the wall, Gravin took a pen and drew a small x on the map. Each small x represents the location of the stolen chamber of commerce and shop indicated on the document. Finally, Gravin A big circle has circled all the small x's.In these days, as an investigator, although Gravin no longer serves in the security team, the security team will ask Gravin to help analyze any difficult cases due to his past merits. The recent consecutive thefts have a significant impact and the security team naturally The news of the case was sent to Gravin.

"Although the other party will not steal the second time at the same place when committing the crime, the range of activities of the criminals will be so far away, especially in this generation of the bazaars in the lower and upper areas of the East District. The Pirate Chamber of Commerce is very close. Obviously the prisoner should be active in this area!"

The captain of the security team immediately felt like a treasure: "As expected of Mr. Gravin, I immediately dispatched personnel to search here, even if the ground is turned over, I will find him."

"Don't worry!"

Gravin stopped the captain of the security team, and after looking at the map, he habitually smoked a few cigarettes before slowly saying: "Although it is certain that it is this generation, the range of activities of the prisoner is not too small. Carrying out a large-scale search may be horrified. For the time being, let’s take a moment to see if the prisoner will continue to act, and there is another doubt I haven’t figured out yet.

"But ~ Mr. Gravin, we don't have much time, where is Sir Phillips!!"

"Like the Jazz, I think Jazz is not the kind of unreasonable person, unless we really can't find the prisoner!" Gravin continued to hold the pen while drawing marks on the map.(To be continued...)
