Our family is in decline

Chapter 645 Secret Investigation

The administrator ran out in panic, and soon the theft of the memorial hall was reported to the person in charge.

The theft of the memorial hall was such a big deal that the person in charge was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He had never been so panicked even when faced with a charge from cultists.

It is self-evident what the things that can be placed inside represent. When I heard that the lord's things were missing, he couldn't help but tremble when he raised his hands to wipe his sweat.

"Are you sure about this? You can't joke about this kind of thing...Is this some kind of drill? Why didn't you notify me..."

“I can name every item in the memorial museum’s collection, and there is a record of every item in it. I checked it specifically and found that it was indeed missing.

Not to mention, would I make fun of the lord? "The administrator looked serious and was not joking at all.

Now even if he doesn't want to admit it, he can only accept the reality, and there is only one way before him.

"Come, follow me to see the lord."

As for hiding the information and trying to find it, or forging the collection and pretending not to know...

They didn't dare to use these methods, it was a betrayal of the lord.

Lance was the only one who could come back to sleep after running on a moonlit night and killing the Screaming Demon.

He slept well after the hidden danger of the Screaming Demon was eliminated, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly hear such news so early in the morning while he was eating crabs and drinking milk.

“The memorial was stolen?”

Lance couldn't help but look serious. Many of the things inside were even relics and must not be desecrated. This was a slap in his face.

At this moment, he could only hide his anger, looked at the two people and asked: "What was stolen?"

But soon a strange look appeared on his face, because he really didn't understand the answer.

"A blood-stained shirt was put in with the lining of the armor from the bandit war."

"Only one piece of clothing was lost? No other things were lost?"

"No, I checked it specifically and found that one item was missing."

Receiving confirmation could not explain the doubts in Lance's mind, which made him even more confused.

Because there is nothing valuable in this place, but it has special meaning.

If you want to steal it, you can only do it with a special purpose.

For example, in order to attack his regime and weaken his dominance.

Just throwing something can hit him in the face, and he can't even protect the relics of heroes.

And if Hamlet cannot be recovered, he will completely lose his prestige. Even if he is recovered, it will be a major blow.

Lance had even suspected the Mercenary Guild just now. Those guys had just fallen out with him, so they might not be able to take action.

But...Lance just doesn't understand.

Damn it, why steal his clothes if there are so many things inside?

He's not dead yet, so those things have no special meaning.

Could it be that he has some perverted quirk?

Lance remembered that in his previous life, he often saw some outrageous news, such as stealing underwear and socks...

"Blood, that dress is stained with your blood, and it will become the material for some curse rituals."

However, Amanda on the side put forward an opinion from the aspect of mysticism, and also added a very key clue.

"It is impossible for ordinary people to enter so easily without alerting the guards. It is very likely that they are extraordinary people."

As for why Amanda was with Lance and had breakfast together.

Everyone knows that Lance is diligent and studious, but he still can't forget the Screaming Demon Scroll even after he came back. It's normal for him to find Amanda to study it and see if there are other places where the Screaming Demon is haunted.

But these are not important anymore. Lance listened to Amanda's words. It was self-evident what she meant. Someone wanted to do something to him, and he was a transcendent.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t go to great lengths just to steal a piece of clothing.

The royal family, the church, the guild... It's hard to say who did it, after all, it has offended so many people, and the ruins are about to be opened, and the benefits are exciting.

The intertwining of various circumstances made this matter instantly troublesome, and even Lance couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

It wouldn't be a big deal if the man stole the clothes just to deal with him, but if the effect was on the entire Hamlet, it would most likely disrupt his plan.

"No matter what, let's suppress the news first. When we release the news, we will say that traces of rats were found in the memorial hall and we will seal it off and say that it will be renovated.

I will notify William to investigate this matter, and you will continue as usual and cooperate with the police to find the prisoner as soon as possible. "

No matter what the reason was, he had just rectified the law and order not long ago, and now someone dared to challenge him in just a few days. He had to hit hard, otherwise the Hamlet police officer would be embarrassed.

"Is there anything else you two want?"

Lance looked at the two of them before they left and looked at them.

"The loss of the collection is my problem as the administrator. I hope the lord will punish me!"

That person took the initiative to bear the consequences, and the camp director could only follow him when he saw this, or he was already prepared for this.

"The collection was lost in the training camp. I am also responsible and I hope to resign as the person in charge."

It's just that Lance didn't react much to what the two said. He didn't frown just now, but now he looked at them with dissatisfaction, and his tone was a bit stern.

“If there is a flaw in security, wouldn’t you study the source of the flaw and then solve the problem?

Why are you telling me this now? Not thinking of a solution to a problem and resigning at any time is a cowardly act! "

Lance scolded them directly, with a rare harsh tone.

"What I need is a warrior who can take responsibility, not a loser who runs away from minor setbacks!

I'll deduct one month's salary from both of you. Now go back and investigate, and then take out the security issues, study them thoroughly, and solve them.

I want the rectification plan to be put on my desk within two days, instead of me here thinking that resigning can shirk responsibility and pretend it never happened. "

The lord gave instructions, and they could only take responsibility for this and go back to deal with it quickly.

Lance looked at the backs of the two people leaving, but the angry look was quickly dissipating.

If those heroic relics were lost, Lance would definitely be furious. Not to mention the two of them, not one of the people on duty last night could escape. It couldn't be that simple.

Because it is really an item that condenses the lives of those soldiers. It is a testimony of loyalty and cannot be desecrated.

But one of his blood-stained clothes was something he deliberately made by being miserable, just like the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake and the rice in Wuchang. Just find any clothes and put them on him, and you can have as much as you want. For him, There is no value at all.

Also, the security in the training camp may be really lax, but it is undeniable that the gap between extraordinary people and ordinary people is too big.

It might be medicine, it might be spells, it might be equipment... all kinds of mysterious methods are impossible to prevent.

Expect some guys who have never even been on the battlefield, who are not even new recruits, but just reservists? All Lance could say was that he tried his best.

Amanda on the side was also in a daze, and didn't say anything except the reminder just now.

She was quite natural at first, but after saying that, she didn't know why she immediately remembered some of the outrageous things that guy Sera said after hearing about the ruins.

To be honest, she was a little panicked, fearing that the Roma would attack Lance. Although she had suffered losses before, sometimes the people below might not be obedient, such as Sera who always wanted to prove herself.

This thought made her dumbfounded the moment it came up. After all, the ruins were about to be opened, and the blood clothes were stolen at this time. It was difficult not to make people suspicious, because she knew what those tribesmen looked like.

It's not that she's worried about Lance, she doesn't think any curse can hurt the lord, not even if the elders take action.

She is worried about herself!

If the Roma were really involved in this matter, whether they were the masterminds or not, as long as they offended Lance, the Roma would be in serious trouble.

What's even more unlucky is that I have to be involved, and I finally get his approval. By then, no one will believe me even if I cry out for injustice...

After a moment of reflection, Lance had already made a decision. He turned to Amanda and signaled: "There may be supernatural beings involved. You and Laura will join the investigation team to assist William in catching the prisoner."

Now that extraordinary people have appeared, stronger manpower is needed in accordance with the principle of priority in combat power.

Amanda is able to counterattack spellcasters, as well as discover traces of supernatural powers and interpret occult knowledge.

As an eagle, Laura is expert in dealing with some shady rats. As long as she finds traces and is targeted by her, she will not be able to escape.

With William and Figgus tracking him, Lance didn't believe he could catch the thief.

"Let's find Disma again. He is familiar with the methods of thieves. He has also been in the guild and knows those guys."

Lance remembered that Disma was in town during his recent vacation. He was a man who had been involved in various religions since he was a child, had gone to prison to study, and had traveled around as a mercenary for so many years.

If it's a guild or some ordinary thieves, no one knows those guys' methods better than him.

Amanda came back to her senses after listening to Lance's arrangement, but she was a little surprised to know that she had also joined the investigation team.

But instead of agreeing directly, he became entangled.

Lance looked at her and couldn't help but ask.

"Is there any inconvenience?"

Reason told her that she shouldn't say this, but she learned one thing from Hamlet, that is, don't lie to the lord, and she reminded her tactfully after calming down her emotions.

"The organization's psychic network in the empire has failed, and it can only be contacted through more cumbersome psychic techniques. This has resulted in the organization's control over the Roma people in the empire weakening..."

Why is Amanda suddenly talking about this?

Lance reacted immediately as soon as he heard it, and his expression was a little playful.

"You think the Roma are involved?"

"I don't know." Faced with Lance's naked topic, Amanda could only explain with a wry smile, "But there are many people outside the organization who specialize in dirty work. They may have cut off contact with the organization and may take on some tasks in order to survive. .”

Amanda is giving Lance vaccinations now to prevent something from happening.

After hearing these vague words, Lance lost interest and just waved his hand.

"As long as we investigate carefully, we will know who it is. Go quickly."

Now that we have talked about this, Amanda has already prepared for the lord to take her out of the investigation team, but now he is just urging her to work. What does this mean?

Seeing that she was stunned and didn't respond, Lance could only urge her teasingly.

"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you full?"

Amanda was relieved to hear this. Lance gave her a trust that would not be easily shaken, a sense of security that an organization full of calculations and suspicions could not provide.

The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, "I'm thinking about what to eat for lunch."

After saying that, he stood up without waiting for Lance's answer, but this movement was full of oppression.

As he walked towards the outside, his tall and straight body gave people a strong sense of confidence.

Now Amanda really wants to whip the guy who stole the blood suit to death.

Better pray you don't get caught by her, or you'll get a taste of her tricks.

Lance just smiled when he saw that. What she just said was to get this matter done before noon. It was a bit arrogant, but it also showed that strong confidence.

Just like when Lance was beating Tamara violently when he saw her for the first time, that confidence and sense of superiority seemed to overflow, bringing an extremely strong character. This is the real her.

But Amanda didn't seem to realize that the person in front of Tamara was the truest version of herself.

However, Lance did not make any further arrangements for this matter, nor did he intend to take action himself.

The Screaming Demon had no choice but to take action because it involved family secrets, but that was not the case in this case.

He spent so much money and raised so many people in Hamlet. If they couldn't handle this little thing and needed to take action themselves, then the territory would be meaningless.

After Amanda went out, she quickly gathered the team and explained the missing bloody clothes in the memorial hall and the mission that the lord asked them to investigate secretly and capture the prisoner.

Of course, there is also the speculation that he stole the bloody clothes, as well as the danger of the prisoner.

For Laura, she knew that her task was not to investigate, but to hunt, so she did not express any opinions.

William's vacation had just ended, and he didn't expect that he would be given the entire case as soon as he got to work, and he immediately started to get into the mood.

"Let's go and see the scene first."

The group of people rushed towards the training camp. They were either concerned about the prisoners or the cases, but Disma was different.

After questioning, he became a little more solemn when it was determined that the missing piece of blood was the bloody suit.

Because he had personally experienced the battle against the bandits and knew what the bloody clothes represented. It was the injury suffered by the lord.

At that time, because of his mistake in not discovering the hidden gunman among the bandits, the lord was shot. It can be said that he was responsible for the damage on the bloody clothes and the lord's blood.

Disma's strange behavior also made several other people curious. William wanted to know about the bloody clothes, so he asked.

Only after Disma's narration did others know about the situation at that time, and they couldn't help but be even more shocked...
