Later, under Doom's guidance, Shado quickly found the investigation report on the recent attack and disappearance of the investigation team. This report seemed very detailed and had the signatures of multiple responsible persons.

From the initial discovery of the incident, to the launch of the investigation, to the conclusion, all the processes were clearly and unambiguously documented, but Chateau still discovered something unusual.

For example, the report mentioned that the investigation team that Mycelato joined as an accompanying expert tracked the traces of a suspected demon a month ago, and submitted the target's aura as a tracking clue to the Alliance Demon Research Laboratory.

Afterwards, the mage from the Demon Research Laboratory discovered through testing that the target's aura was not enough for real-time tracking, so it was temporarily recorded in accordance with the procedures, and the investigation team also applied for accompanying experts in accordance with the procedures.

Mainly used for real-time tracking of instant clues discovered on the road.

It stands to reason that even if the breath samples submitted by the investigation team are not enough for real-time tracking, they should be preserved. Especially when the team and accompanying experts all disappear, it is even more necessary to verify the previous sample materials.

The results of it--

The investigation report was very clear, saying that it was consumed during a routine review, but Xia Duo was not an ordinary person who knew nothing about this aspect. He knew very well that the so-called breath test would not use the sample. Completely consumed.

In other words, the consumption of this type of inspection is extremely low, or even negligible. The reason why tracking cannot be implemented is mainly because of insufficient directivity.

In other words, the total sample size is not enough and the (target breath) concentration is not enough.

This can actually improve the detection success rate by improving the detection method, that is, improving the directivity to achieve real-time tracking.

But the prerequisite for this is that the sample is still there, otherwise even if the method can be improved, there will be no sample available!

When he saw the words in the investigation report that the breath sample of the initial tracking target was exhausted, Sha Duozhen felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as familiar as the police who were always the last to arrive on the scene in the movie.

This is full of conspiracy atmosphere. It is impossible to say that there is no problem at all.

What’s even more coincidental is that the person who conducted the routine reexamination of the breath sample was from Erlan. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Sha Duo himself didn't believe it. He felt that either there was something wrong with Ye Erlan, or someone was framing Ye Erlan and trying to push Ye Erlan into a conspiracy.

…

In addition, Xia Duo also discovered procedural flaws in the investigation report. It was not that there was any problem with the subsequent investigation, but that the missing investigation team violated procedures in the process of tracking the target.

The report mentioned that after entering the territory of Yeerlan, the reconnaissance team followed the advice of the accompanying expert, namely Mycelatio, and went directly to the area where the target was likely to go.

There was no problem with this step, because the reconnaissance team received authorization from the Northland Alliance and did not need to have any direct contact with Yeerlan. However, later, the reconnaissance team bizarrely deviated from the tracking route and went to Tevi Mansa.

This was not mentioned in the investigation team's trip report, but was discovered during the subsequent investigation.

If there were no subsequent disappearances, then a trip to Taivi Mansa on the way would not be a serious mistake. It would be normal to take a trip while out in the field, but something happened later.

Therefore, Xia Duo suspected that the investigation team might have discovered some clues, but they were revealed to the Yeerlan side by the Yeerlan elves in the team, and then led the team to Tevimansa.

The subsequent disappearance may be reasonable.

But the investigation report also mentioned that the reconnaissance team left Taivi Mansa alive, and then followed him for a while before something happened.

Moreover, during the subsequent investigation, the place where the team was attacked was found, but the bodies of the team members were not found, and all the clues stopped there.

Of course, from the perspective of the Northland Alliance, confirming the location of the incident is equivalent to closing the case. After all, there are too many magics in this world that can destroy corpses.

Compared with whether the body is found, whether the incident can be successfully completed may be more important.

…

After reading the entire contents of the investigation report, Xia Duo's intuition told him that there was most likely a problem, but he had no evidence.

As for Master Ye Erlan, who used up all the breath samples during the previous review, the matter itself was not a major mistake, and he had already been punished.

Even if you have doubts, it is difficult to get on the right track.

"well--"

Xia Duo sighed silently in his heart, then put down the investigation report in his hand and turned to check the field records of the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory in recent months.

The records themselves are well kept, and even the records of the missing investigation team are included. This does not require the investigation team to do it themselves. The itinerary report before each operation is a record. There will be a dedicated clerk here in the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory. After sorting, the last returned record is missing.

Xia Duo noticed that in recent months, the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory's outings were mostly conducted to investigate or track down elves suspected of being Demons, and there were only a few combat incidents.

Of course, it is also possible that records of combat events were kept in other archives.

Many investigations or tracking are just based on an uncertain piece of news. For example, an elf reported that his neighbor was sneaking around at night and was suspected of performing some evil ritual.

But in reality, it may just be a minor conflict between neighbors.

The process of going out to the field at the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory is generally as follows——

Any information related to demons will be forwarded directly to the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory by all countries. As for whether they will conduct investigations privately, that is their own business.

However, after receiving the news, the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory will definitely conduct a preliminary investigation and confirmation. This part will be conducted by specialized mages to conduct spellcasting and prophecy to determine whether further investigation is necessary.

If necessary, then transfer to a higher-level mage to conduct spell investigation. At this point, if it is found that it is indeed related to the demon, then report it to the top of the alliance to ask how to act.

Usually this is done by clearing out or capturing.

And if no connection with the demon descendant is found, then long-term tracking and observation will need to be carried out, and then it will be the turn of the investigation team to take action.

It can be seen that the investigation team is relatively low-level in the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory, and this also means that although the disappearance of an investigation team seems to be a big deal, it can be easily calmed down.

The main thing is that a team is missing. As for the specific members of the team, it is not important.

But no one expected that there was an expert accompanying the missing investigation team this time, and because the time of the incident was coincidental enough, Xia Duo was targeted.
