The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 598
Let professional people do professional things, so as to ensure maximum efficiency.If you ask a car repair expert to repair an airplane, he will definitely be blinded.

The so-called art industry has specialization.

The reasoning is the same. As a knight of the church, Meili specializes in dealing with monsters, not investigating criminal investigations. Asking her to do this is a typical trouble.

Facing Brother Lin's question, Meili also sighed:
"It wasn't my business at first, but it just happened to happen, maybe it was the guidance of the goddess."

All right, you say yes.

Tell devout believers that their goddess who never performs miracles is a feudal superstition?
Brother Lin still doesn't want to be kicked out by Meili...

"About three months ago, I came back from a mission. When I went to the church to report on my work, I happened to encounter a murder case that the police were dealing with."

It is true that this aspect is not under the jurisdiction of the church. They are separated from the royal power, and the police are naturally the royal power faction.

However, as a knight, Mei Li had the obligation to appease and protect the panicked civilians. Seeing that rumors had spread at the scene, she went in and asked the police what was going on.

Mei Li pulled out the crystal pendant that had been hanging around her neck:
"You still remember this, it can sense the power of demons and demons. When I approached the corpse, there was a reaction on the pendant."

Lin Tianci did remember this, I heard that all church knights have one.

After all, Mei Li's career line made him very impressed...

"So, the murder is related to the demons? Did the demons infiltrate Nolde Harlan to make trouble?"

Meili nodded:
"There is such a possibility, but it is relatively low. My personal guess is that the apostles did it."

"apostle?"

EVA that?
Obviously, the apostle here is not what Brother Lin thought.

"They are the minions of the demons. The main body may be monsters and humans have been found in rare cases. The demons will bestow their own power on other monsters. They will obtain special abilities far superior to those of the same race. They are the right-hand men of the demons."

After explaining the existence of the apostles, Mei Li said again:
"I immediately went to the city defense team to obtain the operation details of Nord Harlan's defensive barrier."

There are so many monsters in this world, and there are so many types, so big cities have special magic barrier protection to prevent monsters from breaking in, but the smaller villages and towns can't afford it, and most of them can only rely on the kind of magic barrier to expel monsters. Incense.

The so-called operation details of the defensive enchantment is a journal-like log, which records the operation of the enchantment, such as when a certain area is shut down for maintenance.

Their magical barriers are not only effective against monsters, but of course they are also effective against demons and their minions. Although it is unlikely that they can block too strong ones, they can at least be detected.

"According to the detailed records, the magic barrier fluctuated for about a few seconds. The relevant personnel maintaining the magic circle said that it was normal interference caused by the magic power fluctuations in the air, but I think it may be that the apostle used some way to pass through the barrier. record left by the world."

"But no one believes it?"

Meili is also very helpless about this:

"Yes, the city defense team didn't believe my judgment, so I reported the matter to the upper echelons of the Knights Order and the local royal family of Nolde Harlan."

The status of the church is very detached. They do not have real management power. At most, they only have the right to monitor. What happens in the local area needs to be told truthfully to the local government, so that the local government can assist them.

Nolde Harlan is the capital, not only the royal family, but also the palace is here, so it is natural to let them know that there may be apostles sneaking in.

"The upper echelons of the Knights have doubts about my judgment and are unwilling to send more people."

"Why? Didn't you say that the corpse has the power of the demons?"

Since there is a reaction, let the other knights hold the pendant to try it out.

"not that simple."

Meili shook her head and said:
"There was only a very weak reaction from the demon power on the corpse, and it only lasted for a moment. When the knights sent people to investigate again, the reaction on the corpse had completely disappeared."

Brother Lin squeezed his chin:
"You just said it was a serial murder case. Did you guess that the murderer was the apostle? Didn't the other corpses respond?"

"If there is a reaction, the upper echelon of the knight order should pay special attention. If I hadn't seen the pendant react with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that the demons would dare to reach out to Nolde Harlan."

The reason is very simple. The famous Sun Knights of the church are stationed in Nordhalan. It stands to reason that if the demons want to make trouble, they shouldn't come to the place with the most powerful combat power...

But this principle is a bit similar to the evil cultivator who went to the fairyland in the clouds to do things. The strongest place may also be the weakest. This is a typical blind spot of vision, which is the so-called darkness under the lamp.

Brother Lin guessed:
"The apostle who may have sneaked into Nordhalan is becoming more and more cautious, and he is learning and improving. Although I don't know what his purpose of killing people is, but the more careful he is, it means that he is far from his goal. It's getting closer."

Meili was taken aback for a moment:
"You monks are really like magicians, you are all equally smart and wise."

You should be a monk, which is equivalent to a magician...

"The upper echelon of the Knights doesn't pay much attention to it, so doesn't the local government of Nordhalan also take it seriously?"

Even if the apostle did not do something, this is also a serial murder case. Just by the name, many people must have died.

Although justice is just a layer of skin for managers, social stability is the most important thing compared to justice.It is precisely because stability is important that the appearance of a serial murderer will inevitably make the common people uneasy, and the government should make every effort to arrest it.

It is no wonder that Lin Tianci has always felt that the atmosphere on the street is not right since he arrived in Seville these few days.

"I don't know exactly how the royal family thinks about it. I only ordered the police station in Nordhalan to assist in the investigation."

Looking at Meili's expression, Lin Tianci said:
"Could it be that the police are not very willing to cooperate?"

"I really don't want to cooperate."

From the police's point of view, this is a serial murder case. What demons and apostles are all scaremongering by you gangsters.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of face.Originally, the police were doing their best to investigate. Mei Li inserted a tank horizontally, which is equivalent to a so-called front-line commander being parachuted down. Regardless of whether this matter is resolved or not, the police will still be inferior to the Knights, and the police will have to face it. what.

It's not possible to stumble, after all, the royal family ordered this matter, but the royal family does not mean that it is the king. It is estimated that the police pretended to cooperate with Meili on the one hand, and did not work hard, and on the other hand, they secretly investigated and planned to snatch it. Meili found out before to take credit, which set back the prestige of the Knights.

Suddenly, I felt that Mei Li was sadly caught in the middle, and the two sides were not happy.

Even if she goes to the royal family who gave the order to complain to the police, they will reply that we have fully cooperated, and you will not be able to explain the reason at all.

When Lin Tianci first arrived in Sevilla, he met Meili with the police because she was investigating this matter, but judging from the fact that she could only order to arrest the gangsters on the street, the attitude of the police can be seen It's clear.

How do you say what do I do, want me to give advice?

I'm just a weak policeman, so the knight should figure it out on his own.

That's probably what it means.

"As time went by, the upper echelons of the Knights were also somewhat dissatisfied with this, and they seemed to regard this matter as material to attack me, and issued a formal order for me to find out the truth."

But I didn't send any helpers, I just wanted to see you laugh.

Lin Tianci silently added this sentence in his heart, then sighed:

"Okay, I'll try it for you, but I have no experience in investigating cases."

Brother Lin not only has no experience in investigating cases, but his attainment in puzzle games or detective novels is almost zero. If watching TV dramas and a certain Shinigami elementary school student counts as experience, then he has a little bit of experience.

That's what Mei Li asked, and she didn't think Lin Tianci would be good at these things, but magicians are very smart. Cultivators and magicians have a lot in common, so they should be equally smart, right?
So she pointed to the documents scattered on the coffee table, and pulled out a wooden sword from under the sofa:

"The files of all the cases are here, you can read it yourself, I will go to the backyard to exercise my body."

After he got up and wanted to leave, Lin Tianci quickly grabbed Mei Li:
"Have you forgotten, I can't read?"

"..."

Suddenly it felt a little unreliable.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Brother Lin, as a time traveler, of course doesn't know the local script, not to mention he is too lazy to learn it.So Mei Li, who had been troubled for almost three months, had to read the file that Lin had read countless times.

"The first victim discovered was an employee of a freight company. This is also the case where I discovered the reaction of the demon power."

There are not only texts in the dossier, but also photos of the scene, but the photos were taken by magic, and they look like short videos that move.

Lin Tianci looked at the photo. It was a young man about 20 years old. The cause of death was pierced through the heart by a sharp object. He was found dead in his own home. The murder weapon was a small knife used for peeling fruit, which belonged to the deceased.

"The police initially treated this incident as an impulsive homicide, and focused on investigating the range of friends and witnesses of the victim."

"What about the time of death?"

"It is difficult to confirm that the murderer used some kind of fresh-keeping necromancy on the deceased's body, which greatly interfered with the judgment of the time of death. According to eyewitness information, the victim was still alive on the 25th and 26th three months ago. In the morning, he was found dead at home by a colleague who came to ask him to go to work together. Several witnesses confirmed that the victim went home alone, and he did not hear that any of his friends went to the party. The investigation of the network showed that the crime might be committed Everyone has an alibi."

Brother Lin scratched his hair. It sounded like a clueless unsolved case. Solving the case in the magical world seemed to be more difficult than in the real world. After all, this world is not scientific at all...

Magic can do many things, and naturally there is a way to kill people and destroy evidence.

But on the other hand, magic can also help solve cases, it mainly depends on how it is used.
