There was not much emotion in this voice that was truly hateful.
Rafa pursed his lips and hurriedly shook his head to wake himself up. Then he took a deep breath and turned around to head back.
Until now, she didn't know what she was thinking.
......
A few minutes later, Jingchen and Alice arrived on the national highway in the mountains, about 100 kilometers away from the magic city.
This is an area located in the south of the Magic City. Within the Southern Continent, the Magic City is already the southernmost country, and further down is the "Hess Sea" in the south, which is also an unknown and mysterious sea for humans.
The depths of the Hess Sea are connected to a forbidden area of glaciers. However, due to the boundary, the huge glaciers have only formed two small islands, and there is a large amount of smoke in the southernmost area of the world near the glaciers, allowing delusions to pass through that place. The ships could not see the direction they were heading.
The weather in the sea area of Hess is unpredictable, and there are often strong winds and waves. It can be said that almost no ship in the main sea area can get out alive. After sailing to the vicinity of the boundary and then returning safely, it is a quite scary place.
247. A crime scene with no clues
Different from ordinary crime scenes, this time the crime scene was handled so completely that Jing Chen was not able to find any useful information here.
The location where the case occurred was on a hillside. In the past, my father had made an agreement with the supply chain that in order to avoid industry competition, the drugs supplied to Jing's family would all go to the old national highway.
This old national road is also a secret passage for the royal family to transport military rations and some supplies to the border troops. Even the Duke's close cooperation with the royal family took a long time to get the royal family's consent to let their raw material transport trucks. One of them was shipped to this place.
The national highway passes some royal outposts at regular intervals, and the location where this attack occurred unfortunately happened to be in the middle of the two outposts. Although the two outposts were quickly dispatched to investigate after the incident was discovered. Personnel came, but still could not reduce the damage.
Jingchen and Alice landed on the small flat ground next to the crime scene. This was a relatively narrow and hidden mountain road. This road could only accommodate at most two small transport vehicles traveling side by side at the same time. There were guardrails on both sides of the road. Because it has not been repaired for many years, it is now in dilapidated condition. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and be buried in the valley bottom.
Generally speaking, what happens most of the time on this kind of road is that the vehicle falls off the cliff, causing the car to crash and kill people. In this case, the body and some products that have not been damaged can still be used, and the officers and soldiers can just report the crime directly, so to speak. Poor driving skills lead to accidents, so everyone will save the trouble of continuing to struggle.
But in this case, the fragments of the vehicle were scattered directly on the road. The distribution of the fragments was very uneven. It seemed that it was directly exploded by a sudden attack. There were even traces of fire on some fragments. Preliminary speculation may be that It was detonated by explosive magic.
Most of the people in the car died in the explosion, and the body fragments were unevenly distributed on the road. Some people were lucky enough to keep their intact bodies, and they also fell directly on the roadside.
Not far from the pile of vehicle fragments and corpses, there was a fire. In the fire, many precious medicinal materials could be seen piled together and burned, leaving ashes on the ground.
This is obviously a man-made event.
Jing Chen immediately confirmed it in his mind after observing his surroundings.
Alice looked at the ashes on the ground that seemed to have been fully burned all night. Even now when she squatted down, she could still smell some strong medicinal fragrance in the ashes. Obviously, all the burned medicinal materials inside should be Very good and precious.
When she was very young, her family told her that there were so many pharmacies in Shanghai. You don’t have to believe anything else, but the Jing family’s pharmacy is completely trustworthy because they only use the best quality medicinal materials. The Jing family’s raw materials are outstanding. The investment is quite large, so it’s no wonder that it has become a leading company.
She then asked: "Has the transport team been attacked by other competing companies? It doesn't look like a robbery."
"If it was to be robbed, it wouldn't have been burned. I also find it strange that it could be burned so thoroughly. Who did it?"
Jing Chen murmured, touched his chin, and continued to release his magical aura to track down possible clues left at the crime scene.
But it's strange that his magic aura can't find any clues near this place. It's as if these criminals don't exist at all. He can't find any magic residue in the surrounding terrain.
There was nothing useful left at the scene, everything seemed so weird.
"What the hell happened to this place?"
He looked at the vehicle fragments on the ground. These randomly scattered fragments could not explain anything. They were all direct damage caused by a remotely released magic.
Jingchen remembered that the transport team would usually send one or two magicians with a magic level of over 20 to follow it. If others could not detect the attack, how could two magicians with a magic level of over 20 not notice it?
And what’s incredible is that no magic fluctuations were found on the blown-up vehicle fragments, as if they were directly blown up by bombs.
It seems that the flames used to burn the medicinal materials were also ignited with the help of external objects. Some wood used for ignition but not completely burned can also be seen at the scene.
At present, the investigators who came to investigate from the royal family were still unable to obtain any useful information after repeatedly investigating the scene, so they could only gather together impatiently. The leader said: "There are no clues. Let's continue the investigation like this." It's impossible to get any results in one day, so I think it's better to report it to the higher authorities as an accident."
Jing Chen listened to the officers and soldiers, but uncharacteristically did not say anything.
On the contrary, Alice on the side was a little unhappy after hearing this. She hadn't even finished the investigation yet. Why did she end the investigation so early? This must be too irresponsible.
She thought to herself that she would go up and stop these people from leaving.Alice has become much more proactive now than before. If it were before, she would definitely not have such thoughts of stopping him.
But at this moment Jingchen stopped her instead. When Alice looked over, Jingchen just said, "Let them go, their mission has been completed, not to mention that even I can't be here." Find any useful information.”
"Then we two have to continue investigating here?" Alice asked.
Jingchen was a little helpless.
"Why do you want to go back as soon as you come here?"
Alice looked a little unhappy and said: "There are pieces of meat on the ground here. I...I won't be able to eat after seeing it."
The little girl's family couldn't bear to see such a cruel scene.
In fact, not to mention Alice, even Kerr, who had actually seen the pile of dead people, had not eaten for several days after seeing the conditions inside the organ transplant facility.
Sometimes flesh and blood flying everywhere is really scarier than a person lying there injured to death.
But Alice was also afraid that Jingchen would miss any clues, so she said, "It's okay. If you want to stay here to investigate, I will just accompany you."
Jing Chen said: "That's no need, let's go."
"Didn't you check?"
Jing Chen nodded and said: "This crime scene has been destroyed to the point of losing its investigative significance. This criminal team should be a very skilled team. It is not an option to continue to waste time here. It is better to wait."
"This is not the only transport convoy that our Jing family has. Today I deliberately asked my father not to delay the transport convoy in order to allow these people to continue their attacks, so that we can directly track their whereabouts."
"If there is really a grudge against my Jing family, I believe they will never let go of the transportation of medicinal materials from other branches."
Alice asked worriedly: "But how did we track each other in the first place? Is it possible that you wanted to do something in the car?"
After hearing this, Jing Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed her head. The movement was a little abrupt, and Alice seemed a little resistant.
"Smart, I'm having this idea right now."
"The unified departure time is this afternoon. We can go directly to the supplier to install a magic circle on the car to detect magic."
The method is clumsy, but it's better than having no method at all.
248. Stack buffs
In the following time, Jingchen and Alice went straight to the downstream suppliers without stopping.
The supplier is located in the Linhai area in the south of the Magic City. Sometimes Jingchen did not expect that there would be such a large-scale area for growing medicinal materials in the Linhai area, but in fact it was just a warehouse for a downstream raw material factory, and it was occasionally shipped by sea. The medicinal materials are transported out in a certain way, and the medicinal materials are grown in other places.
The supplier will not easily tell others what is a commercial secret.
Currently, the only drug store in the entire Magic City is the Jing family’s pharmacy and this supplier. The Jing family and this supplier are also very close partners. From time to time, the Duke will come here in person to check on the situation, and treat the owner of this warehouse to food by the way. A good meal.
When Jing Chen and the others arrived at the raw material warehouse, employees wearing Jing's pharmacy clothes were still there carefully screening the medicinal materials as required. At present, one of the four store transport trucks had been damaged, and the other three were already full at this time, supplying Shang is arranging armed personnel to accompany the transportation.
But because of what happened yesterday, the transport team is now starting to panic. Jingchen was listening during the distribution, and he could see that the expressions on many people's faces were actually unhappy.
But there is no way, work is work, as long as you are still hanging around here, you must obey the management every time you transport.
As soon as Jingchen arrived, the warehouse manager recognized him almost at a glance and hurriedly came forward to say hello.
"You must be Duke Jing'en's son."
The administrator is a short, fat lady, well-dressed, speaks in a rough voice, but has a smile and looks very friendly.
Jing Chen also said hello.
"I'm Jingchen, are you the administrator of this place?"
"Yes." The administrator smiled broadly, and when he saw Jing Chen, it was as if he was seeing his reborn parents.
"I have received the Duke's attention over the years. Unfortunately, our warehouse is also busy and we have never had time to treat the Duke to a meal to express our gratitude. I wonder if Mr. Jing would like to have a meal with us?"
"This beautiful lady can go too."
"food?!"
Jingchen felt the anxiety coming from Alice beside him, but before Alice could say anything, Jingchen quickly held her down, and he himself smiled and said: "It's not necessary to eat. , if there is a chance later, the administrator might as well come to our Jing's house as a guest, we still have things to deal with today, it's really inconvenient."
The administrator is also a person who knows how to deal with things. He thought of something almost subconsciously, so he asked: "Young master said that he was busy. Is it because of the attack on the transport team yesterday?"
Jingchen nodded and said: "Yes, this matter is a loss for both of us. I really can't afford to be careless."
Speaking of this, the administrator also looked helpless. It was obvious that they did not expect such a thing to happen.
Jing Chen also had a keen insight into the expression on the administrator's face, and found that her expression did not mean to show off at all, and he also dispelled the suspicion on the administrator's body that should not have existed in the first place.
The administrators and even the people at the medicinal warehouse had no motive to attack the transport convoy. The two parties had cooperated for so many years. If they really had any hatred for the Jing family, they could just kill people. Why destroy their own luck? What about the medicinal materials grown and sold?
Then Jing Chen said: "Administrator, I have a plan that I want to get your approval for. Do you want to listen to my proposal?"
The administrator nodded and said, "Sir, please tell me."
"I want to install a magic detection array and an alarm array on the other three transport vehicles that are not easy to detect. Once the convoy is attacked, I can receive the message as soon as possible and then rush over. That way, it can The murderer was caught.”
The administrator nodded repeatedly and complimented with a smile: "I have long heard that the young master of the Jing family is a genius student at the Magic Academy in the Magic City. It is no wonder that the Duke dares to leave this matter to you with confidence. Completely Okay, we don’t have any objections here, just feel free to arrange it.”
"Ok."
Then Jingchen wanted to walk towards the three transport trucks, but Alice behind him held his arm and forced him to stay.
Jingchen couldn't help but look at Alice in confusion. With his keen insight, he observed the strong resentment on Alice's face.
He was stunned.
Before he could ask what happened, Alice said in a rather resentful tone, "It's delicious..."
"Ah?" Jing Chen was stunned.
Alice repeated in a low voice: "I want something delicious."
Jing Chen scratched his head. Why did this girl suddenly want to eat at this moment?
"Be good, I'll take you to eat delicious food when this is done. Just bear with it."
But it was clear that Alice wanted to say something else.
"When someone invites us to dinner, why do you refuse? The seafood in this place along the coast must be delicious."
It turns out that this is what this girl cares about.
Jing Chen held his forehead, leaned close to her and explained in a low voice: "If someone asks you to eat, of course you have to refuse if you are not on a particularly good relationship with them. It's not like we don't have money to eat, so why do we have the nerve to let people spend money to treat us? Besides, this person is not the boss, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if word spread about it?”
"I'll just take you to eat after the magic circle is set up. Just be patient."
Alice then stopped talking, but there was still some resentment in her eyes.
Jingchen quickly arranged three magic arrays at the bottom of the three vehicles. One was to detect whether there was strong magic aura around them, and the other was a universal defense array used to provide certain defense capabilities for the three vehicles.
This magic circle was developed by himself based on the information in the library. It can be said that it perfectly utilizes the perfect mixture of various attributes to achieve the ultimate magic circle with full attribute defense. The only shortcoming is that this thing It's still very small at the moment, and whatever is released by combining all the attributes will be reduced to a very small size in the end.
The third one is a teleportation circle, which of course he developed himself. Once he senses an accident with a car, he can directly follow the teleportation circle to the location of the car.
Not to mention, setting up the magic array is indeed a physical job. In the next half hour, Jingchen got under the car like a car repairman and arranged the three stacked magic arrays little by little.
In fact, laying out a magic circle requires superimposing many marks in one array. When completed, each mark will directly turn into a stroke in a magic circle, or directly occupy most of the drawing. The magic circle relies on these different characteristics. Functional strokes and patterns are used to activate the final effect. How to put these scattered things together and activate the effect is the most difficult part.
Therefore, even if Jingchen has divine power, editing the magic circle cannot be done one by one with the help of divine power. He can only rely on his own skills.
249. You won’t leave, right?
Magic circle and mark are the most important things in the magic world. Jingchen started to learn these two core technologies almost as soon as he started.
What do you mean by coming up?It was probably the few days before returning to the real world after training with Ke'er in the Beyond the Clouds and breaking up with that woman. I used the adaptability of divine power to learn quantum reading. However, it is more reliable to officially start research and development. It's a matter of later.
Speaking of which, Jingchen's mind suddenly thought of his mission when he first came to this world. He seemed to have a grudge against a woman. Suddenly, the woman seemed to have completely left his world. It had been several days. They didn't meet each other and slapped each other hard in the face.
Now Jingchen doesn't even remember that woman's name.
It's a bit sad to think about it now.
"But because of you, Jingchen has grown into a very powerful person now."
Jingchen couldn't help but murmur, he had made a lot of efforts to avoid situations that were certain to kill him.
"Do you like talking to yourself while you work?"
Alice's confused voice came from the front, and before she knew it, the senior sister had knelt down and looked over. She seemed to have heard Jing Chen's words, and she complained.
Jingchen smiled and said, "Why, don't you usually talk to yourself?"
