Dawn of the Grey Tower

"Independent spy, on mission. I need to look at the body of the deceased the night before."

Russell and Kailas didn't take much time to reach the purple outpost where Kelly's body was parked. The red-haired mage showed off his school emblem, which was also his identity certificate.

As a spy, he was given a certain degree of freedom while lacking systematic work and could get help in various outposts.

"Russell? I didn't expect you to be interested in this case too." The secret instrument mage guarding this post seemed to be no stranger to the red hair. The familiar one greeted him, and then his eyes fell on the cat goblin.

"This is the helper I summoned through spells. He has a keen sense of smell and excellent perception. I want to rely on him to find clues."

A cat in boots is always very laborious to explain. Especially if you tell the truth, Kailas is likely to be barred from entering due to foreign identity issues.

But after all, this is the city of ten thousand laws, magic can make many impossible things possible, and it is not uncommon for all kinds of aliens to be simply summoned here.

"Okay, good luck. You are the third spy I received today. Seven people came yesterday, plus you are just ten now. One case can attract the attention of ten spies, heh, this one I'm afraid I didn't think of it myself. But I have to remind you that the few people in front didn't see anything from the body, or they could have seen it but didn't say it clearly. Hidden clues, you are more familiar than me."

The wizard who led the way explained to Russell as he walked. Secret agents can be understood as free detectives. They belong to the law enforcement system of the secret sect, but they are not a force in the conventional establishment.

The reason for the emergence of this kind of position is that many cases related to magic require meticulous and long-term follow-up, and it is a bit redundant to set up the position of person in charge for them. Fortunately, some secret agents who travel on the edge of the establishment are directly established. , Let them handle it.

But having said that, the spy’s investment in the case is probably only one case for one person to follow up. If it is more complicated, there may be two partners. A case of ten spies that are all of interest has not been seen for a long time.

This also caused the last question that the mage said, hiding clues.

When multiple or more secret agents follow up a case, the ultimate reward or credit will only be concentrated on the **** and the few one or two who provided extremely important information. Although other secret agents will also be rewarded, It will be very insignificant compared to the energy they put in. In order to win the title, there is competition among spies.

Concealing clues that only oneself knows, or even deliberately erasing these clues so that those who follow up after the event cannot obtain information, are common tricks in competition. The signal it sends is that this case does not need more people to grab the credit.

"I didn't have much interest in this case. You know, I'm not really in a rush to get promoted. It's just that the death of this faculty member may be related to another case I have, and I need to confirm it."

Russell said his intentions neither humble nor arrogant. He didn't lie either. Teacher Kelly's death was indeed related to Cheese and the others, but it would be difficult to judge whether this connection needs a spy who has received instructions from the custody to execute it.

"It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, you spies are responsible for yourself, and you are free to do what you do. I only ask you not to hurt this body again, and let him return to nature tomorrow. Well, and if you It’s okay to really find something and be willing to share something with me. Although I don’t go out to work anymore, I still have some previous experience, and I might be able to help you."

"No more hurting the corpse? What does this mean? I heard that the deceased died from beheading and his body is relatively intact, so that he can quickly confirm his identity if his head is lost." Russell asked with some worry.

"You can see by yourself." The wizard who led the way didn't say much, just opened the door of the morgue in front of him and led them to a stone chamber.

The inside of this stone room was much colder than the outside, and it was too late to prevent Russell from having a strong urge to sneeze, but the current situation was not suitable, he could only hold it back as hard as he could. However, Kailas did not show anything strange, maybe for the cat fairy whose body was covered with hair, such a temperature change was not enough to make him feel unacceptable.

As for why Kailas has remained silent until now, this is what they have agreed before. If the cat goblin speaks at will, things may become complicated. So in order to be out of line, Russell begged Kayla. Si remained silent for a while, but the latter agreed unexpectedly.

This stone chamber is similar to that kind of underground tomb. Arched gaps have been dug out on three stone walls. The corpses are placed in these gaps. The outside of the gap is covered by a magically reinforced curtain to slow down the inside. Accelerated decay may occur when things come into contact with the outside air.

The mage at the outpost came to the parking space numbered No. 2 on the curtain, and silently uttered a spell. The curtain then rolled up on its own and shrank into a cloth tube.

"You can bring the body out and put it on the table over there, but remember not to cause more damage. I'll wait for you outside the door and call me when you want to put him back."

After speaking, the mage left the stone room. Russell and Kailas looked at each other, and then the spy first started, putting on the gloves on the wall, carefully dragging the headless corpse out, and placing it on the stone platform with the help of the cat goblin.

The corpse did look very bad. It was not decayed. Due to the low temperature, its decay condition was not serious. What really made it look uncomfortable was the large amount of acquired destruction.

"That's how you treated your colleague's body? I didn't see a trace of respect for him." Kailas said, standing on the stone table with a frown.

It’s no wonder that he criticized him. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is densely covered with a large number of surgical anatomy marks on Kelly’s body. From the broken neck to ankles, these surgical marks make this naked corpse look like it was What cruel monster tortured and tortured to die.

This explains why the guards are reluctant to face the corpse again. Just looking at its horror is enough to make your back chill and throat tight.

"Anatomy is the most intuitive way to understand the cause of death. There is nothing wrong with them doing this. But I have to say that this is a bit too much."

Russell swallowed his saliva before allowing himself to speak. Of course, he had studied anatomy, but the city of magic did not have sufficient resources for every student to dissect human corpses.

Although he had to deal with corpses after being a spy, those corpses were rarely so miserable.

"Yeah, the most intuitive method. The problem is that we can only visually see a bunch of humanoid rotten meat. You tell me that he died of a messy knife. I don't have any opinion. Can this really find a clue? "

"I don't know, try as much as possible."
