Lelouch took off the 'Sincere Deception' and gave it to Buyani. Because of the presence of outsiders, Alisa had to use the power of the ring to maintain the appearance of the female assistant Xi Laiwei. Without the ring, the crystal dragon Buyani would be gone. Although Lelouch is still unable to completely hide his aura as a black dragon, he can't see through the truth as long as the other party doesn't bring a high-level mage.
After getting it done, Lelouch went down the road and saw people from the city security team. There were only five people, but they were led by a man with a Chinese character and a mustache. Although he looked ordinary, his eyes were sharp, as if he was hunting. Eagles are generally impressive.
Although they have been in Freedom for a while, it was the first time for Silver Wings to teach with the security team last time. Alisa told Lelouch that the security team is mainly responsible for maintaining security in the upper area while avoiding the lower levels. Poor people from the area entered here without relevant documents.
According to Alisa, Lelouch believes that the so-called security team is just a tool to maintain the interests of the high-level giants of the free city, the order of the middle-level businessmen, and the cornerstone of the poor at the bottom. But at least the other party has done some serious things.
"I'm Gravin Lukes! Investigator of the Public Security Team. We received news that a theft occurred here. Can you give us a detailed explanation of the situation at that time?"
Glaven got to the point without saying too many polite words. Glaven had already heard about Lelouch as the president, but after seeing him for the first time, Glaven couldn't help but take another look. .
To Glaven, Lelouch is very much like a replica of himself. He is also from a famous family, but it is really courageous to leave the family alone for his own ideals. Such an underage boy can actually occupy a place in this free city where the jungle is strong. , whether it is luck or strength, it is worth showing off.
Lelouch didn't pay much attention to Graven, but gave a general explanation of last night's situation in a formulaic manner. Of course, there were some secrets that should not be told. Lelouch was naturally tight-lipped.
"I would like to ask a detail, Mr. Lelouch, did the magic circle in your chamber of commerce show no reaction or was it directly destroyed?"
Lelouch was slightly startled and said: "No response┉┉"
"It seems like no one has ever been here, and nothing useful has been recorded."
"It sounds like you have already guessed this situation, right? Mr. Glavin!"
The magic circle was arranged by the crystal dragon Buyani. According to Buyani, her dragon magic circle did not respond at all, and did not even record any situation. Even though Buyani has checked back and forth more than ten times, there is still no information to be found. But Glavine's tone seemed to have expected it early on. Could it be that this situation was not just his own chamber of commerce
Graven nodded and said with a thoughtful expression: "Secondly, Mr. Lelouch, there have been several thefts in the upper areas of Free City recently, and the same situation has occurred in various stolen chambers and shops. The protective circle did not work. There was no warning effect or even any record.”
"Does that mean the thefts from our chamber of commerce should all be committed by the same person?"
"Yes Mr. Lelouch, that's for sure."
Lelouch took a sip of the tea brought by the maid and said, "So do you have any clues about the prisoner?"
"I'm sorry, this is confidential and I can't answer it."
"It seems like you don't have many clues. After all, the other party can leave no clues at the crime scene. I'm afraid they haven't even determined the prisoner's general identity and appearance." Lelouch was certain that the prisoner's method was definitely not simple. After discovering that it was stolen today, the entire chamber of commerce was checked inside and out several times. Especially Crystal Dragon Buyani, who almost turned her room upside down and found nothing related to the criminal, such as footprints, handprints, hair, etc. clues.
In response to these somewhat rude words, Glavin smiled helplessly and said: "The search work did encounter difficulties, but there are still some clues. Not only can the opponent break through the magic circles of most chambers of commerce, but even the large-scale freedom of movement in the warehouse area The protective magic circle has been broken through, and there are not many people on the entire continent who can do this. According to this point, the search scope should be narrowed down. "
There is another clue that Glaven did not tell Lelouch. It was the theft of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce that further allowed Glaven to narrow the scope of the prisoner's activities. The area between the rivers in the upper area and the lower area should be where the prisoners often move. area. Recently, many spies have been deployed to be active in these areas. Even the underworld has many informants to track down any clues that may appear. As long as the stolen items are taken by the prisoner, the prisoner's identity can be locked immediately.
"Do you think the prisoner is a mage who is proficient in magic circles?"
"It's possible, but maybe the prisoner has other ways to avoid the detection of the protective magic circle. There are so many magic circles made by different mages. The prisoner has to analyze them all one by one. This can no longer be done by mastering the magic circle. Come to judge, it’s like the magic circle doesn’t work on it at all.”
"If there is such an ability and criminals use it for theft, it will be overkill. Technology or ability like this that can make large protective circles ineffective. No matter where you go, there will be countries and forces willing to give up their huge wealth and status." exchanged.”
Lelouch said this and shook his head: "If it's just for money, there is no need to do such petty theft."
"That's true. In other words, the prisoner's original purpose was not to steal money, but to plan other major events."
"But this plan is too lame. Are there any conspirators who would just run out and implement the plan without even bringing enough working capital?"
"Indeed~" Glavine also had a headache and crossed his hands while thinking: "It's like it was completely improvised and there was no long-term plan at all, but it feels like┉┉"
"It gives people a very chaotic feeling. The action seems to be a completely unconventional behavior, which makes people a little confused."
Unknowingly, Graven started chatting with Lelouch as if he and Lelouch were old friends. Lelouch knew how powerful the Dragon Law Array set up by Buanyani as a dragon was, even if she was an equally knowledgeable person. It is impossible for the giant dragon to break through the protection of the magic circle completely silently. For this reason, Lelouch does not think that the so-called magicians on the mainland who are proficient in magic circles can do it. In Lelouch's opinion, the opponent must be some kind of being that is immune to the protection of the magic circle, probably just like the crystal dragon that is immune to magic. It's just that the other party's actions are indeed weird. It feels like a petty thief, but logically speaking, how could someone with such power do such a petty theft
Hmm~Okay! Although Buanyani had used 'sincere deception' to do some sneaky things before, that situation was more special, and even with the property of being immune to magic and a ring with a depressing aura, Buanyani couldn't do it. Completely ignoring the protective magic circle, according to the girl's own words, she still needs to destroy the magic circle to avoid exposing herself.
Glavin also gained some inspiration from Lelouch's ideas. There is indeed no trace of the opponent's modus operandi, but his methods are indeed too rough, as if there is no plan at all. He just grabs wherever he likes. The only thing that can be done now is to try to collect clues and narrow down the search bit by bit. The scope is that every time the other party commits a crime, it is equivalent to tightening the rope around his neck. It's not long before the prisoner is caught.
Wait┉┉How come I started chatting with the other party and said so much without knowing it
"Ahem~ I'm sorry, Mr. Lelouch, so the main reason for the theft this time is that your sister, Miss Buanyani, lost a space ring. I wonder if we can register the stolen items in the ring. If the prisoner We may be able to find some clues when disposing of the stolen goods.”
He quickly ended his discussion with Lelouch. Glaven said, quickly resuming his duties.
Register stolen items!
This request honestly made Lelouch a little embarrassed, because Buyani had also stolen several jewelry stores and products before, and at least half of the space ring was stolen goods! This registration seems to be self-inflicted~ But at this moment Lelouch has no reason to refuse. It is stolen and he is unwilling to tell what the stolen items are, which makes it more suspicious.
"Then please wait a moment, Mr. Glavin. I'll let your sister speak in person."
Let's talk. Lelouch told the maid a few words and then left. Soon several people from the security forces also returned. As before, they did not find any clues at the scene. In fact, this was what Graven had expected. Presumably Before the security team arrived, the staff of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce must have turned the entire chamber upside down. I can't find any clues like this, let alone someone like me.
"It's still the same as before. The prisoner is like a phantom. How did he do it? Hmm!?"
Suddenly, Graven noticed that his subordinates looked a little strange: "Hey~ What's wrong with you? Why do you look so distracted?"
Several members of the security team who came with Glavin were in a daze at the moment. Even when they reported the results to Glavin, they seemed to be still absorbed in another matter, and their faces still showed a drunken look. That look was simply Like a devout believer who has witnessed the most beautiful thing in the world.
At this moment, Lelouch returned to the lounge: "I kept you waiting for a long time, Mr. Glavine."
"Ah~ It's okay. Is that Miss Buanyani behind you?"
While Graven said with a smile, he had already noticed a beautiful figure behind Lelouch. Although he was still blocked behind Lelouch and did not reveal his true face, a smart and elegant temperament was already emanating from the flowing black hair. came out, but Glavine did not notice that his subordinate stood up straight as if he had been stimulated. Everyone's expression was serious, as if they were about to be inspected by the king, and they wanted to show their best and most charming side.
Lelouch measured his body and made a gesture to the girl behind him: "Come in, Buanyani~ Explain to Mr. Glavin what you have stolen."
The moment the girl named Buyani walked into the room, Gravin Lukes! The famous investigator in the free city was stunned. In Glavin's life, he had not only solved various suspense cases. Today, one more thing has become one of my few hobbies.
“So beautiful┉┉”
Looking at the girl who walked into the room, Gravin muttered to himself almost subconsciously. (~^~)
