Chapter 68 68. I am a professional
But in fact, it is not because they are powerful that they can use magic without chanting spells, but because the magic they use is the magic of the World Tree, so the magic they cast is more powerful.

When the magic is used enough, the World Tree will take the initiative to sign a contract.

It sounds very simple and the threshold is not high, but in fact it is very difficult to reach that level. After all, the king stipulates a magic limit.

But there are always special reasons why the king lifts certain people's quotas, large beasts attack the city, fight other countries, or fight against evil elements.

Another situation is to make your own wand. This was the case with the group of people Jiang Yingbai and his party met before.

In short, there are very few magicians who have reached this point.

Bolai quickly invited the three of them into the house and poured them a glass of water made from an unknown source.

In order to show his professionalism, Jiang Yingbai had already thought of his words before coming in.

Jiang Yingbai handed over the quill and parchment bought in the town to Luota who was sitting next to him.

Lotta sat upright, lowered her head and looked at the parchment on the table, holding a quill in one hand and looking serious.

Jiang Yingbai has already made an agreement with him, and she will record all the conversations between her and Bo Lai later.

As soon as Polai sat down, Jiang Yingbai began to ask questions.

She stared into Pale's eyes, making him a little nervous, "Name?"

He didn't react to Jiang Yingbai's first sentence for a while.

"Huh? Oh, Paule Petit."

"I mean the name of the missing person."

Paulet said stumblingly, "Sissy Pettit."

"age."

"12."

"gender."

"Female."

"Where did your daughter go missing?"

"on the way home."

"Where did you come home from?"

"College."

"When?"

"4 to 5 p.m."

"Do you have any doubts about the target?"

"No."

"Have you ever asked where other people in the town disappeared?"

"Have."

"Tell me what you heard."

"They all disappeared as soon as they left the academy."

"Do you think there's something wrong with the academy?"

"No."

"Is there any special person living near the college, whether it has a particularly good reputation or a particularly bad reputation, or is famous in some respects."

Bolai thought about it for a long time, "There was an old man with a weird temper."

"What's weird?"

Then Bo Lai introduced the old man to Jiang Yingbai in detail.

Three years ago, the old man came to Pingyu Town from outside. No one in the town knew where he came from, no one knew him, and no one knew his name.

He didn't have a penny on his body and lived by begging all day long. He had a very weird temper and ignored anyone who spoke to him, so the townspeople called him a mute old man.

There was a deserted house near the college where the children used to like to play after school.

A month ago, the mute old man suddenly moved into the abandoned house. He occupied the house by force and kicked out all the children who came to explore the house.

Over time, the children in the town were very afraid of this strange old man who never spoke and kept a straight face, and the children no longer dared to play in the house.

Jiang Yingbai nodded slightly, "I see, is there any more?"

"Uh..." Pale racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything.

Jiang Yingbai opened his mouth to remind, "Is there anyone in the town whose house always smells?"

There are two situations when a person disappears: the person is sent out of the town, and the person is still in the town.

These two cases are further divided into two cases.

Outside the town, people were not dead, but were abducted, dragged into experiments, and so on.

People were killed, their bodies were buried, they were abandoned, such as thrown into lakes, eaten by wild animals, etc.

In this world, technology is underdeveloped. There is no surveillance, no fingerprints, and no mobile phones. In this case, it is difficult to determine a person's whereabouts throughout the day.

And the people in the town are either at work or resting at home, and few people go out all day to visit.

In particular, many people like to be alone as a family, even if they are away from home all day, no one may know.

When being interrogated, as long as the suspect insists that he is at home all the time, nothing will happen. Of course, except for those with a very bad reputation, no one will believe even if they don't kill people if they have a bad reputation.

People usually magnify the other person's behavior infinitely and interpret the other person's behavior to add credibility to their suspicions, regardless of whether those behaviors are abnormal or not, whether they over-interpret them or not.

Once doubt arises, everything around you becomes untrustworthy.

Therefore, there are only two difficulties in killing people in this small town.

[-]. How to dispose of the body secretly. As long as the process of hiding the body is not discovered, this crime is only half the perfect crime.

[-]. How to prevent the body from being discovered. If the body is dumped outside the town, there is no need to consider this.

If you are disposing of corpses in the town, you only need to consider one question: how to deal with the odor caused by the decay of the corpse.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem, such as burying the corpse in one's own garden, or throwing it into a well, etc.

Jiang Yingbai decided to investigate in the town first.

Bo Lai replied, "No."

"Is there any family who always hears the sound of cutting things in the house?"

"Hmm...does it count if you buy meat?"

"Calculate."

"There are quite a few meat sellers in the town, but it is often said at home that there is only one family that cuts meat."

"Location."

"Lake west of town."

"Did you ever see him go around the academy?"

"No."

"What kind of meat does he sell?"

"A wild beast caught in an uninhabited mountain."

Luo Ta's hand paused while he was recording frantically, and Jiang Yingbai was also a little surprised.

"A wild beast caught in an uninhabited mountain?"

"Yes, he and Magician Perkodo are good friends. The two know each other because they both like to take risks and hunt. They often go to uninhabited mountains to hunt wild animals together, and bring the captured wild animals back to the town to sell."

Jiang Yingbai always felt strange, "Have you eaten it?"

"I have eaten it, because the selling price is affordable, and many people in the town have eaten it."

"what about the taste?"

"Fortunately."

"Is there anyone in town who is very grumpy and very skilled, like learned to fight."

"Except for Lake and Perkodo, there seems to be no magicians. Everyone is ordinary people. At most, some people are stronger, but there are no very special people."

"What do you think of Percodo Wizard?"

"Magician Perkodo is a very nice person. He often gives money from selling meat to the academy, and sometimes he treats the townspeople for free. He is also very kind."

"His age."

"Probably more than 40."

"How's your face?"

"Very close."

"Why did he come to Pingyu Town?"

"Because he likes to explore, or he particularly likes to explore uninhabited mountains, so he chose to give up developing in Liberty City and come here instead."

"How do you know this?"

"When Wizard Percodo first came to town, many townspeople were very curious about why he came here. He said it himself at that time."
