Chapter 99: 99. Simple and direct approach

Views: NaN

After talking about the situation, Captain Hank was afraid that Gallo would lose face, so he complimented again and again:

"Pastor Gallo, you may not know that you are a celebrity in our security team. Everyone knows you. You are meticulous in observation, sharp intuition, and active in thinking. Those guys in Division 9 talk about you every day, Wendini Not to mention the lieutenant..."

"Hey, our family and Wendini's family can be regarded as family friends, and the relationship is very good. After all, she is still my niece!"

"Before, everyone was guessing who could conquer the flower of the security team, but now there is no suspense..."

Compared with his flattering and relationship-seeking rhetoric, Sir Donald is much simpler and more direct.

"Pastor Gallo, this matter is related to the reputation of our shop, I hope you can help, and I will thank you very much afterwards!"

Gallo nodded again and again, and replied seriously:

"I understand, I will do my best in this matter!"

Then, the three of them went to the underground warehouse where the crystal was stored, next to the processing room.

Like some unprocessed rough stones, they are naturally not as closely guarded as finished products, that is, they are stored in warehouses, and there is no special vault for sending them to the city, which is also convenient for craftsmen to rush to work.

Moreover, the law and order in Innocence City has always been very good, especially this Prosperous Avenue. There are sheriffs patrolling day and night, and Jazz has hired professional security personnel, which is theoretically safe enough.

But the crystal is still missing, and I don't even know when it's gone...

Gallo first used polygraph magic to question the security guards who were on duty last night, and found out that they were not guarding themselves, and they were not lazy last night, and they stayed on duty all the time.

Then he checked the scene again, and found no obvious traces visible to the naked eye, and even the safe with the crystals was intact.

The safe didn't look like a mortal thing, it looked very solid, and there were many magic circle-like patterns engraved on the surface and inside.

"So it looks like the thief used magic, right?"

"Mage is a profession that likes to steal things from others!"

Gallo came to a tentative conclusion.

Although Captain Hank and Sir Donald on the side didn't know why he was prejudiced against mages, they still explained:

"This safe itself is a magical item, and it has been blessed with many protective measures, which are specially used to prevent magical theft. I have spent a lot of money for this..."

Sir Donald introduced the origin of the safe, and then there was a vague expression of pain on his face. It seems that the huge amount of money spent is really a bit heavy...

Captain Hank then said:

"Yes, yes, this is a magic safe made by Master Winner himself. If someone uses magic to steal it, the master will find out immediately..."

"And the master is the most powerful and knowledgeable mage in this city. It is impossible for anyone to steal the crystal from him... That's why this matter is particularly troublesome."

But when Jia Luo heard this, his face showed joy, and he said quickly:

"So that's it, then I know who the prisoner is!"

"There is only one truth, that Wenna stole the crystal!"

"Since this Wenna is so powerful, and he made this box, then he must have a way to take away the crystal without anyone noticing, right?"

The captain and Jazz couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and at the same time showed embarrassing expressions.

After the air was quiet for a while, Captain Hank reluctantly explained:

"Although logically speaking, Master Wenna is indeed suspicious...but he is a highly respected master with amazing wealth, and he is backed by the towering tree of the Invoker School. Even the city lord respects him. ... "

"Even if such a big man is really interested in crystals, he wouldn't use such a contemptible means of stealing, right? He has absolutely no motive for committing the crime..."

As he spoke, he also cursed in his heart.

Is this young pastor really reliable? Even Master Wen Na dares to doubt? It doesn't look as brave as the guys from the Jiuke said at all.

Could it be because Wendini bragged forcibly in order to flatter him

Sir Donald on the side also said:

"I also don't think this matter has anything to do with Master Wen Na. He, his disciples, and his wives are regular customers in the store. We have always had a good relationship with him and get along well."

Hearing what they said, Gallo sighed helplessly:

"Hey, it's because of your thinking inertia that he dared to act so boldly..."

"Actually, this matter is also very simple. Wouldn't it be good to just go to his house and search his house? If the stolen goods are taken together, won't the truth be revealed?"

"this... "

The captain and the jazz were speechless for a while, how dare they search the home of such a big man? Even if there is clear evidence, I dare not dare, let alone just a guesswork...

And Gallo saw the expressions of the two of them, and knew that they didn't believe him at all.

snort! mortal wisdom...

However, he still has a second plan.

I saw him take out the crystal that Lilian Luo gave him from his arms, and asked:

"The lost crystal, is it like this?"

Sir Donald's eyes widened involuntarily. He took the crystal from Gallo's hand, looked at it carefully, and said repeatedly:

"Yes! Yes! That's it!"

"The color, luster, transparency, and the feeling of comfort are almost the same, except for the different shape and size, this one is bigger..."

"Pastor Gallo, can you give me this crystal?"

Seeing his eager look, Gallo scratched his head, showing distress, and said in a deep voice:

"Although you have spoken, sir, I should agree, but this crystal was given to me by a lovely believer..."

Sir Donald immediately adopted the simplest and most brutal means of persuasion:

"100 gold!"

"Uh... It's not about money, after all, it's a gift from someone else..."

"150 gold!"

"Come on, I didn't mean that..."

"200!"

"Since you are so sincere, then I can only reluctantly give up..."

Seeing Gallo nodding, Sir Donald let go, and immediately asked the butler at the side to fetch a stuffed money bag, and handed it to Gallo without hesitation.

As for the crystal, it was also sent to the craftsmen in a hurry, and they were asked to work overnight.

Although the process is different, the problem can be solved only by spending money, which is the best result.

Anyway, I can sell that lady for 500 gold later, so I can't lose money.

"It seems that asking you to come here today is indeed the right choice!"

Sir Donald said with satisfaction, and smartly did not ask about the specific origin of the crystal, but only expressed that if there is any in the future, he hoped to sell it to him at the same price.
