The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 601 Event Escalation

The level of social development in Serviala is very high, which is a very big advantage in Lin Tianci's view. At least the city environment is clean and tidy, and it is comfortable to look at.

On the other hand, in Dosu, Eastern China is better, and there is also a sewer system, but Oga Adut’s side is not necessarily the case. Many cities find a place where domestic sewage is not in the way, which is quite medieval. In other words, it is almost like India, and people have to be careful when walking on the street, otherwise they will step on shit.

The thousand-mile tracker led the two of them along the main road for a while, and then began to float in the direction of the river, and the two quickly followed them down the embankment.

Here you can occasionally see civilians who come to fish or hang out for a walk, and there are also small cargo ships passing by the river. Even if it is not as lively as the main road, it is not a secluded place.

After walking along the embankment for another half an hour, the light ball of the thousand-mile tracking talisman turned, as if leading them around a corner.

The two looked in the direction where the ball of light was floating away, and saw two huge drainage pipes that looked like tunnels.

This pipeline is mainly connected to the rainwater well of Nolde Harlan, because the city is low-lying, if there is no excellent drainage facilities, it is easy to flood one-third of the city when it rains.

So this main drain and the river that connects to it is very important to the city.

At the same time, in order to prevent people from entering by mistake or beggars and the like from using the drainage pipe as a temporary residence, the outlet of the drainage pipe has a blocking net and is also locked.

The two stepped up the slope, and saw that the small fence door beside the tunnel was firmly tied with several rounds of chains, and locked with a palm-sized lock.

"Is it right here?"

Brother Lin looked at the ball of light that was still about to float in, nodded and said:

"It should be right."

Meili tugged at the chain, it's best to talk to the city management about this matter, and let them open it with the key so they can get in.

But with just such a tug, the palm-sized lock fell to the ground, and the chains that bound the door also scattered all over the floor.

Lin Tianci picked up the lock, and could see that the keyhole was full of air bubbles and cavities as if it had been corroded by strong acid. The lock was not so much a lock as it was a decoration, and it completely lost the function of a lock. Just snaps the chain and looks like it's locked.

Meili put her hand on the newly forged sword hilt:
"This is unusual. The locks in this place are all made of corrosion-resistant magic alloy. It is impossible to become like this just by wind and rain."

But it also shows that they probably did find the right place.

"Be careful, I feel that the locked head is corrupted by ghost energy... That is, the negative energy has become so virtuous."

Meili nodded in agreement, then pushed open the gate and was the first to go in to investigate.

Even though Brother Lin had already told her, and even saw it when fighting side by side, a monk is not equal to a magician, and his physical ability is much better.

But Meili still walked in the front habitually. After all, her armor looked rough and thick, and Brother Lin seemed to be the type who couldn't resist beating.

The light ball of the thousand-mile tracker can't illuminate, that thing is this indicator, which is equivalent to the 'arrow' of the task guide, so Brother Lin used a dancing light spell to control the real lighting spell to illuminate the way forward.

It hasn't rained recently, so the drainage pipe connected to the rainwater well looks very dry. At the same time, because the underground is isolated from the gradually vicious sunlight on weekdays, it also makes the temperature inside dry, cold and comfortable. No wonder the door must be locked. , otherwise this kind of good place will definitely be lived in by homeless people and the like.

And because it is the main drainage pipe, the two of them walked all the way to the depths and did not encounter a fork in the road. At most, they could occasionally see round holes appearing on both sides of the tunnel, which were part of the huge drainage network in the city. Water from other places will eventually be discharged here.

It's a good thing not to have to go through the maze-like sewers, and they didn't go too far.

After going straight for about five or six minutes, the light ball of the thousand-mile tracker disappeared without a trace with a soft crackling sound, which indicated that it had arrived near the target.

Meili looked around vigilantly, while Brother Lin manipulated the dancing light technique to circle around.

The tunnel is too big, even with dancing light technique, it is impossible to fully illuminate it, so we can only use this stupid method to expand the lighting area.

A few disturbed mice fled away with a squeak, and the light source of the Dancing Light also swept out a shadow close to the drain on the left.

It looks like a person leaning against the wall. Although the clothes are full of dust, it can be seen that the materials are very high-end, not cheap.

Lin Tianci was lucky first, checked the surroundings for traps and the like, and then nodded at Mei Li.

The latter held the hilt of the sword, approached the person step by step, and turned the person with his back over with his feet.

"Heavenly gift, this is a corpse, it seems to be a new victim."

It was a man about 50 to [-] years old, with a medium build and a little short. Because of the preservation magic, the corpse did not rot. Except for some traces of being bitten by rats, he could see a stick stuck in his heart. A small knife used for cutting meat at banquets.

This kind of pocket knife is very common, and its popularity is basically similar to that of fruit knives.

But the point is who he is.

With fair skin and no calluses on his fingers, he looks like a pampered person, not a manual laborer, and his clothes are made of high-end materials. Ordinary ordinary people only have one or two pieces of this kind of clothes to support their appearance and wear them as ordinary clothes , higher financial requirements for ordinary people.

Most importantly, Mei Li found the coat of arms on the small cloth bag at the waist of the deceased.

The coat of arms is an emblem that only nobles are allowed to use, and it represents a noble symbol.

The one who died this time was a nobleman.

Things seem to be getting bigger...

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Even if the police said on the surface that they cooperated and actually did not work hard, they still had to contact them to deal with the discovery of the body.

Meili took out a foldable microphone similar to a flip phone from her pocket. This was the magic version of the phone. After making a call, the police rushed over to kill her not long after.

Dead civilians and dead aristocrats are completely two concepts, not to mention that life is not high or low, this is a feudal society.

As a knight class, Meili is also a member of the nobility. Identifying the coat of arms is a basic skill, but Meili still has no idea who the corpse in front of her is, because there are too many nobles, and the honorary nobility that cannot be hereditary , the number of coats of arms is too many to be too lazy to memorize.

However, the police are still very good at investigating. It took them less than half an hour to find out the details of the deceased after they arrived.

This man was originally a decent businessman, but he had a wide network of contacts and had connections with many nobles. After kneeling and licking for half his life, he finally got the title of a lord.

However, the police also found that this person was not very clean.

He is a businessman, yes, but the goods he sells are not all legal.

He will sell expensive works of art, rare cursed items or controlled products, and even human trafficking and sex transactions.

I didn't check him before, mainly because the clients he interacted with were all big nobles, and there was no way to check him under the pressure of someone above. Now that everyone is dead, all the bad things from before have been revealed.

This person deserves to die, but what should he do next...

That's another problem.

According to Brother Lin's judgment, the apostle who sneaked into Nordhallan approached his target step by step by means of "packaging tricks", so as long as he found out who the discovered corpse had been in contact with frequently or met alone, he would naturally be able to Follow the vine to find it.

That being said, it is not so easy.

The previous deceased who was discovered was the lobby manager of a jewelry store. He had to personally receive a lot of distinguished guests every day, but this time he was simply a dog of a nobleman. , many of the meetings were held in secret.

Moreover, the nobles who got the news also began to test the pressure on the police from above, telling them not to continue to pursue the matter of the deceased. After all, their buttocks were full of shit, and if they really shook it out, it would be revealed to the world, even the nobles would be slapped to the end.

It was not easy to check, but some people put pressure on them not to check.

The police were aggrieved, and Meili was also aggrieved.

Therefore, many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, and it can be said that it affects the whole body. Even if Meili belongs to "investigating the case by order", the support for her is very limited.

What's even more ridiculous is that the deceased found now is already a dog leg who often associates with the big nobles. If the apostle uses this person's identity to secretly meet with the real power faction and successfully replace him...

pill!

Of course, Meili immediately asked the police to check whether the deceased had any eyewitness testimony. If someone saw him elsewhere, it meant that it was the apostle.

But I have to say that they were just one step too late. According to the police records, the servant of the deceased came to the police station to report the case the day before yesterday, saying that his master had not come home all day and had no news.

As for other information and clues, there is no clue at all, that is to say, the clues are broken again here.

Mei Li and Lin Tianci stood on the bank of the river, watching the police below pull up the cordon and carry the body out, without even doing much investigation work on the crime scene.

This is the result of pressure from above.

In fact, there is no need to be particularly anxious. After all, Lin Tianci estimated that besides Meili, there must be other more secretive people who will investigate this matter, and they will not be affected by the pressure of the nobles.

But Mei Li is a stronger girl. This matter has become a task assigned to her by the Knights, and it is also material for making things difficult for her. She will never give in to any making things difficult.

But Brother Lin seemed much calmer. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, it is mainly to help Mei Li.

Almost all of his attention is now attracted by the newly opened cake shop across the road.

There is no cake in Eastern China. The last time I ate cake was when I was with Redicia and the others. After Nolde Harlan found out that there was cake, Brother Lin would buy some almost every day.

Meili glanced at the policeman below, snorted softly, turned her head and said:
"God, what should we do now?"

Suddenly realizing that little brother Lin's mind is easy to use, Mei Li began to ask him for help.

"I was thinking that the black and white cake with whipped cream and black raisins in the window across the road might be good."

Mei Li also looked at the samples displayed in the window of the store, they were indeed very attractive, she sighed:

"If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll think of a way. God sent you to find the fragments of the extremely blue star."

"No, this cake gave me a little inspiration, I know where we should go next."

What was the inspiration for the cake?Sweets help brain activity?
