It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 333 Is the suspect absconded in fear of crime?

With two lists in hand, one by one detailed comparison, this is a big project.Minister Colin was so busy that he didn't even drink coffee. He held a piece of parchment in his hand, and his eyes were almost cross-eyed:
"I've only been to this one once... this one too... this one hasn't been to a public water source... neither has this one..."

The number of nobles participating in banquets and hunting is not large, so it is easier to check.But Minister Colin thought with his toes, and he didn't think that the cursed necromancer would sneak into the team with his real identity.Most of them are still pretending to be servants or guards, or, simply avoiding people to sneak in?
For the latter possibility, he has already asked the staff guarding the sand table if there was anything unusual a few days ago.

Edgar the Master also watched with him.Even if he had never seen the necromancer in Nevis, he had probably heard of it.At this moment, the two of them turned over page by page, and Master Edgar suddenly said "Hey":
"What is this family doing here?"

"Which one?"

Johnny Colin looked sideways at once.Master Edgar pointed to a line of names:
"Baroness Hopman? Are you still free to attend the banquet?—their eldest son just died in their family!"

"...Maybe it's because the Baroness and her son have a bad relationship?" Minister Colin speculated. "Why do you care so much about this?"

"Their family has a grudge against Little Gretel!"

In order to prevent the baron's family from retaliation, Lynn reported to the teacher the process of the feud as soon as they returned from the banquet.After listening to Master Edgar's narration, Minister Colin clamored:

"...It's really suspicious! This clue should be investigated!"

The results of the survey were not so optimistic.

The eldest son of the baron, Knight Hopman, died recently, and the second son, who had been sick for many years and had no sense of existence, had to be pushed to the front of the stage in a hurry.In order to make him familiar to the aristocratic circles, starting from the funeral of Hopman Knight, the baron and baroness took their second son and his wife and became active in the surrounding social circles one after another.The banquet at Viscount Cadron's house was just a stop of their social activities, and nothing unusual could be seen.

According to the memories of the viscount's housekeeper and waiter, when the baroness came to the banquet, there were no strange people in the team...

"It's really not them?" Master Edgar put down the report in a daze.Minister Colin frowned and shook his head:
"No, check again. I have a hunch there's something wrong with their family—"

He plunged into the pile of documents.Personnel list, movement track, past information, family relationship... I checked and checked, and suddenly I slapped the table:
"Yes! The baroness has a sister who is a magician!"

In the magician management department next to the emergency management department, the family information of each magician is stored, mainly for the convenience of handling inheritance.Before Master Slinmin, when he applied for the mage badge, he happened to register the Baroness as the heir to the estate...

And the way magicians investigate cases is that as long as they have clues, they don't care whether the means are legal or not. ——In other words, they don't have the concept of "legitimate means".

Master Edgar looked up Master Slinmin's lineage from the database in Black Crow Swamp, and brought her mentor along.In order to prevent Master Slinmin from escaping or refusing to tell the truth, he specially invited a ninth-level mage from the divination department.Minister Ke Lin joined the team with a seventh-level enchantment mage from the emergency management department, and headed straight to the mage tower of Master Si Linmin in the deep mountains.

"That..." At the gate of the mage tower, several apprentices were trembling in the face of the powerful lineup that fell from the sky:

"The instructor went out a few days ago, saying that he was looking for a rare herb, but he hasn't returned yet..."

"Absconded in fear of crime? Chase!"

Master Edgar sneered.They went into the mage's tower and searched, and confirmed that Slinmin was indeed not in the tower, and left half a month ago, turned around and left.The oldest apprentice in the tower watched them leave, and quickly returned to the top of the tower, releasing a huge crow.

Half an hour later, the crow fell into the palm of Johnny Colin.The experienced magician held the message bird for a while and looked at it, but did not untie the message barrel on the crow's feet, and only made a few gestures lightly.For a moment, a deep black floated on the outside of the news barrel.

"This is a specific message to pass." Johnny Colin sneered.He turned around and handed the crow to his subordinates, pointing into the distance:

"Move a team of people to follow up secretly to see who the news is conveyed to and where the person who receives the message is going!"

A group of people divided into two groups.Johnny Colin led two teams of operatives from the Emergency Management Department to follow the crow's whereabouts, and it didn't take long to reach the barony.They put on makeup, dispersed, and patiently lurked for two or three days before intercepting Baroness Hopman, who was in a hurry, on a passenger ship that had already set sail.

On the other side, the crowd followed all the way under the guidance of the prophecy mage.There are magic guides and mysterious eyes all over the place, and they also successfully intercepted Master Slinmin.This magician was actually lurking near the Mage Tower. When he saw a large group of people coming to the Mage Tower for interrogation, he quietly passed them by!

As long as the emergency management department moves a little slower, the ship destined for the New World has already set sail!

This pass back and forth made the great magicians sweat all over their bodies.On the tenth day after the outbreak of the epidemic, a magic wall was raised in the prison of the Emergency Management Department. On both sides of the wall, two groups of people began to interrogate:

"Master Si Linmin, the emergency management department has judged that you are suspected of poisoning in the recent plague incident. We are here to ask you some questions under the order of the review committee. You can refuse to answer, but in that case, we have the right to use Confusion control magic, forced interrogation."

"You can also lie, but please note that each of your answers will be judged by a divination magician. If it is judged to be a lie, your guilt will be aggravated in the subsequent trial."

"Of course, you can also commit suicide...but as a Necromancer, after committing suicide, your soul will be captured and you will continue to interrogate him. Presumably you should know?"

"Now, please answer the first question:
In the past two weeks, have you been away from the Mage Tower and been around the city of Nevis? "

Magician Slimmin clasped her hands, trembling slightly.On the other side of the magic wall, two magicians of noble origin asked the baroness seriously:
"Sorcerer Slimmin has confessed. She said that it was under your instigation that the curse and poisoning were done with the intention of harming the citizens of Nevis. Baroness, do you admit your sister's accusation? ? Why did you instruct her to do this?"

"—I didn't! It has nothing to do with me! I haven't seen her for more than ten years!" The baroness screamed:
"I demand treatment in line with my status! You have no right to lock me up for interrogation because of her allegations!"
