Chapter 26

"According to the rules, I should ask human beings to stay away." Zhao Zhiyan said slowly, looking for the last chance to make Du Zhengyi unhappy, while keeping his contempt for Guan Xinyue.

"If you want to talk to me," Guan Xinyue tried to keep her voice from trembling, she stood firmly in the center of her living room, "just say it to my face, don't act like I belong to both of them Like a pet dog."

"Is this necessary?" Luo Qi said slowly from the side, as if deliberately imitating Zhao Zhiyan's tone. "Can you stop acting like a country bumpkin who won't let his wife eat at the table? She's the granddaughter of the mage, and all the humans in the mage's family have a silent pact with the committee."

"The contract of silence can always be circumvented by logic, especially since all the mages in their family are dead, and the force that restrained her from keeping silent to human society has almost disappeared." Zhao Zhiyan was beaten, Luo Qibi Du Zhengyi was more sharp-tongued, and the Northern College didn't even have the legendary boldness.He bit his lip in annoyance, and put his hopes on Du Zhengyi.

Du Zhengyi was wandering away and half listening to them arguing about this matter, until the room became quiet and everyone was looking at him, he seemed to come back to his senses.

"I was thinking just now," he smiled slightly, "If Guan Yushan is still alive, would anyone dare to drive his little granddaughter out of his home? If no one dares, forget it."

The room was completely quiet, no one spoke or even moved, until Guan Xinyue suddenly turned around and walked to a chair, sat down hard, and raised her head.

Luo Qi exhaled softly, he looked at Guan Xinyue in a relaxed manner, then put his eyes on Du Zhengyi, and stared at him for a while.

Zhao Zhiyan turned around abruptly, without saying a word, rubbed his fingers against the finger, and a cluster of flickering ancient symbols rushed out like an explosion, spinning in the air between them.

Roach swallowed, looking expectantly at the whirling symbol.

The ancient symbols gathered together and shrunk down to almost indistinguishable dots. The magic behind them swayed them, and the dots became planes together, stretched from two dimensions to three dimensions, and then a phantom of an old man appeared among them.

With gray hair and a thin body, he is wearing a ceremonial robe, a Gebu belt, and a ceremonial jade pendant hanging from his waist.He stood calmly among several people, with a calm face and deep eyes, as if resurrected.It's just some small words following around him, showing his name and date of birth and death, revealing the fact that he has passed away.

Roach had only seen his photos before, but now the photos did not capture his charm. The deceased standing in the house must have been a very stylish old man when he was alive, and he did not match the image of an alcoholic he had heard.But this image may have taken place many years ago, before his life fell apart.

Guan Xinyue did not expect that the mage's image would appear in the form of a three-dimensional projection. Suddenly seeing her grandfather appear, her body shook violently.

Zhao Zhiyan sneezed, ignoring the little girl's emotions, and wrapped the blanket tightly around his body, "Guan Yushan, has three first-level mage licenses, and enjoys the special allowance of the great mage." He sneezed again, covering his nose Then he said, "The executive mage at the first level of the Supreme Council is still a life-long tenure, so he is a master. As for the achievements and...resume, do you think this part is a bit mediocre? I guess a large part of his life is classified, Du Six, do you know?"

He asked Du Zhengyi frivolously on purpose, but Du Zhengyi just shook his head, "Even if I know, I don't care, let's talk about his children. As far as I know, the trigger of the matter may be his daughter and son in law."

"Indeed." Zhao Zhiyan made a gesture, and the symbols gradually gathered the images of the other two people in the air.

They stood beside the old man. The woman lowered her head slightly, looking reserved, while the man had an extremely rich expression, as if he was looking back and forth at the living people in the room.Luo Qi secretly thought that Cunying would always record the essential characteristics of some people. From an intuitive point of view, the Guan family couple seemed not suitable for being together.He glanced at Guan Xinyue, she looked slightly disgusted, and avoided looking at her uncle.

Zhao Zhiyan said over there, "Guan Ya, the daughter of Guan Yushan, a calculating mage in the Sixth Institute."

Roach grunted, "That's great."

Zhao Zhiyan nodded at him, "Yes, very powerful. The man's name is Lu Chengzhi, Guan Yushan's son-in-law, and he does some jewelry business. Uh, you know, he does both businesses. On the side of ordinary humans, he is a jade dealer. Here he sells all kinds of energy crystals."

As soon as he finished speaking, the symbols floating in the air gathered together several vague figures again, "Their daughter, Lu Xinchen, was supposed to start college this year, but she disappeared."

After he finished speaking, an elf-like girl appeared in the living room, smiling playfully.Her hair was waist-length with pink tips.She inherited most of the advantages of her parents, and played them perfectly. Both her appearance and temperament are very attractive.Zhao Zhiyan slammed his mouth and said, "Unfortunately, life and death are uncertain."

Before Roach had time to think, another woman appeared.She is about 30 years old, with big eyes and a pointed chin. She has an Internet celebrity face that Roach can't distinguish. She is slender and of medium height. "Qi Yue, formerly known as Qi Xiaoli. This person needs to be highlighted. She is from the village and works as a nurse in a clinic in the city. She suspects that she has an improper relationship with Lu Chengzhi. Before Guan Ya passed away, she once pestered Guan Ya endlessly, and even stalked Guan Ya, suspected to be directly or indirectly related to Guan Ya's death."

"That is to say, you also suspect that this woman is the direct cause of this series of events." Du Zhengyi said, using an affirmative sentence.

"Yes." Zhao Zhiyan said, he raised his head and looked at the image of the woman. The woman kept straightening her hair and blinking her long false eyelashes innocently.Zhao Zhiyan shook his head. This woman might not be to his liking. He said with a puzzled face, "Honestly, I don't know why Lu Chengzhi fell in love with her? Maybe the old house caught fire and couldn't control himself."

"That has nothing to do with us." Du Zhengyi said disinterestedly, "There should be a complete investigation report when Guan Ya died. The investigation was under the supervision of Guan Yushan. The investigation report should be credible, right?"

Luo Qi glanced at him again.

"Yes," Zhao Zhiyan replied, "but even if Guan Yushan was in charge and used our archmage and well-known human forensic doctors, he could not find any clues to Guan Ya's abnormal death. If Guan Ya died of a heart attack, then People have misfortunes and blessings, and that's reasonable. It's just that Guan Yushan didn't believe this for a day, and he, his son-in-law, and his son-in-law's little concubine have formed a bond since then."

"You mean, you can confirm that the cause of Lu Chengzhi's death is related to Guan Yushan?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"Lu Chengzhi died in a gas explosion, but he was actually injured and fell to his death." Zhao Zhiyan said, and he quickly generated some three-dimensional images in the air.On the top floor of a human community, there are scorched and damaged marks on the gable wall. The three-dimensional picture shows the hole from several angles.

"This is Lu Chengzhi's house in the city. The explosion point of the gas pipe was close to the gable wall. He should have been near this wall at the time of the incident. After the explosion, he was seriously injured and fell out of the damaged wall on the seventh floor. He fell on the cement platform on the first floor and died on the spot."

Du Zhengyi frowned at the picture, "It looks a bit like it was shot out by space distortion magic."

"That's right." Zhao Zhiyan nodded, "But it's actually not, it was indeed a gas explosion. We checked on the spot, and there was no trace of energy remaining. The police's investigation results also believed that the death was caused by a gas explosion. A cigarette was lit on the cupboard, and—boom!"

Zhao Zhiyan gestured at the equivalent of the explosion, and slowly scanned the death scene with viscous eyes.Luo Qi's attention was diverted from the information, he observed Zhao Zhiyan silently, he could see that death was attractive to Zhao Zhiyan.

"The two deaths are not directly related to the mage." Du Zhengyi didn't notice, his attention was almost all on the inference at the moment, he thought and concluded.

"But an experienced detective thought it was murder, and finally found Guan Yushan's head. However, Guan Yushan has an alibi, and someone proved that she was with Guan Yushan during the time when the gas leaked." Zhao Zhiyan hooked The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, she turned her head slightly, and looked at Guan Xinyue with malicious intent.

Du Zhengyi was taken aback, and involuntarily looked at Guan Xinyue.

"What?" Guan Xinyue said warily.

When Luo Qi came back to his senses, he was also a little undecided, so he hesitated and asked her cautiously, "Is...really?"

"Of course," Guan Xinyue glared at him, and said in an unquestionably arrogant tone, "I never lie."

"Grandma," Luo Qi swallowed, "you lied a lot when we first met!"

"Don't you also lie a lot?" Guan Xinyue said immediately.

"Two different things!" Roach said. "You were really with your grandpa?"

"That's right!" Guan Xinyue exclaimed angrily, "Because I know that even if my grandfather hated him to death, he wouldn't kill my sister's biological father!"

Roach retreated a bit, and Du Zhengyi hurriedly turned his head away amidst a burst of silence.

"Okay," Zhao Zhiyan put the topic back, "Let's talk about Guan Yushan's death. Since his daughter died unfortunately, his alcoholism has become more and more serious, and his temperament has changed drastically, and he has had many conflicts with his family. Soon his wife would often come to live with her son, and Guan Xinyue used to live in her father's house, right? So the only person who can be sure of staying with the archmage in the end is his granddaughter Lu Xinchen. This is an old story , Just like the ending of all mages who are with humans, they will inevitably part ways in the end. Therefore, when Guan Yushan died and his granddaughter disappeared at the same time, there was no mage in the family. Of course, no one could report his death to the committee in time Situation. His body entered the police system’s processing flow. When we realized Guan Yushan’s death, we could only go to the autopsy report. I think at least the cause of death of alcohol poisoning is credible. But our people arrived too late It is no longer possible to judge whether there were other factors at the time of the incident based on the remaining energy."

Luo Qi didn't take the so-called alcoholism seriously, even Guan Xinyue thought it was impossible, and the consultation with Dr. Ma Jiang gave him more confidence.

"I think even if you arrived early, you wouldn't draw any other conclusions." Du Zhengyi said after thinking.

"How do you know?" Zhao Zhiyan asked.

"This series of incidents obviously have something in common." Du Zhengyi said, "All of them were deaths without any interference from magic, clean and neat but one after another, full of the smell of human murder, does this imply... …we might have been exposed?"

Roach's spine felt a chill, and he turned his head suddenly to stare at Du Zhengyi.

Du Zheng glanced at him, didn't understand what he meant, skipped him and continued, "If the mistress kills, the mistress can stop when she gets Lu Chengzhi. If it's Guan Yushan who kills, an archmage of his level There are many ways to kill Lu Chengzhi. The corpse should not be left for others to investigate, let alone make people die so dramatically. I assume that all the people we can see are pawns. Is there another one behind them? A larger organization is active, trying to wipe out us aliens scattered in their population?"

population?Heterogeneous?exposed?Luo Qi panicked, and the weird mage Li Xu from the night before came to his mind.The meaning expressed by him hiding his head and showing his tail is very similar to what Du Zhengyi said today.Li Xu once asked Ma Jiang what would happen if they were discovered by humans. He said that humans have the instinct to kill aliens.His mind couldn't be straightened out in a burst of confusion, Du Zhengyi continued to speak, he quickly stopped his confused thoughts, and continued to listen.

"It's only been a few decades since we were massacred last time." Du Zhengyi said, and subconsciously patted his left hand on the armrest of the chair. His thoughts seemed to have gone very far, and what he said was only limited part.Roach wished he could rummage through his head, revealing all his thoughts and information he refused to disclose.

"It makes sense," Zhao Zhiyan said.Roach looked over and found obvious satisfaction and approval on his slender face.To be honest, Roach didn't expect him to be a good-looking person. Three years ago, he was just a scumbag imitating the scum. At that time, Roach thought that he would not even get the qualification to serve as an executive mage.

So what is he now?Is he a normal man who has grown up and returned to the mainstream society, or has his old dream finally come true and entered the palace of the Lotus Burner?

As if sensing his gaze, Zhao Zhiyan turned around and glanced at Luo Qi.He hesitated for a moment, and gave Roach a smile, showing his thick white teeth.
