"It's possible that the mole doesn't feel that he is involved in stealing the original copy."

Regarding Earl Phoenix's doubts, Ian thought for a while and put forward a possibility: "For example, the insider did not actually participate in the direct theft of books - he was just responsible for handing over some things in the library to outsiders, or someone Use his identity to quietly take away certain things, or even simply use some kind of spiritual power to eliminate the memory of this aspect."

"So it may be useless to simply check the memory. On the contrary, investigate the recent whereabouts." Ian said: "Even if investigating the whereabouts does not work, you can also investigate the surrounding interpersonal relationships. There will always be a way."

The young man was listening just now, and after listening for a long time, he didn't hear anything about ordinary criminal investigation methods. He thought about it and felt that Terra had the power to search for memories, and it might even be able to make the dead speak. In that case, other methods might be more primitive.

Anyway, that’s an idea.

The old earl frowned slightly at first, and then relaxed: "That's right. Not bad, young man, you are really smart."

He smiled and stretched out his hand and patted Ian's shoulder. Earl Phoenix asked curiously: "Speaking of which - how did you tell that those books were fakes? If you didn't read them, even I wouldn't be able to tell from them. You can tell whether these books are genuine or not by their appearance, they are very well reproduced and the details are quite right!”

"And you can tell just by looking at it... Could it be that it's your spiritual power?"

Ian could feel the gentle hand patting his shoulder.

But remembering that the other party had easily crushed the neck of a third-level knight before, he still pretended to have a slightly frightened expression. After the Earl of Phoenix noticed this, he carefully retracted his hand. Slowly said: "Yes, Lord Earl... it is my spiritual power."

"My observation system psychic power allows me to see the 'traces left by time'. So when I was in Nanling, I was still an appraiser, an appraiser with a professional certificate, whose level was similar to my alchemy level. almost."

"The traces left by time?"

Earl Phoenix was stunned. He also had a deep understanding of psychic powers. In an instant, seven or eight different psychic powers that matched Ian's description and performance popped up in his mind. He immediately smiled and expressed his understanding: "Good luck! Dreams are enough. Big!! That’s great, no wonder, I totally understand.”

——What did you understand?

Ian didn't know what Earl Phoenix understood. Anyway, the more these high-level psychics knew, the more they could guess. It had nothing to do with the truth anyway.

But the old man did not continue. He thought for a moment and took Ian directly outside, asking the young man to stand in front of the Knights members and staff who were still kneeling on the ground, waiting for the follow-up lie detector psykers to arrive.

"Ian, come and take a look, which one of these people is more suspicious?"

Earl Phoenix said this. He was staring at everyone present closely at the moment, as if he wanted to use this method to see if the insider would reveal his flaws again.

Ian looked at it, then raised his hand and pointed to a middle-aged man in the front row of library staff: "That's him."

"He is probably the one who cooperated in stealing the book."

At this time, everyone present was shocked.

Earl Phoenix turned his head and looked at Ian in astonishment. The named middle-aged man opened his eyes wide, and even the goblins shouted, 'Wow! '' Actually! ’ ‘Father is amazing! ’ With such praise, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle.

"How did you find out?"

Earl Phoenix originally wanted to ask Ian why he said that. He is indeed a rational person in essence, but he just can't control his mouth - no matter how much he trusts Ian and the goblin, he can't just believe whoever the boy refers to. Who, the old man has to check it out, right?

But at this time, he noticed a strange emotional fluctuation coming from the identified person. This emotional fluctuation gave rise to a large number of fears and incredible thoughts of regret. It was obviously like a traffic light, and the old man was immediately disturbed. The count turned his head.

He widened his eyes and said angrily: "It's really you?!"

Highly sublimated people may sometimes act more directly, but this is not because they don't doubt or don't look at the evidence... but because their power is so powerful that it penetrates the soul, thinking and material world. ——They can directly see the vibration of particles, see the truth behind the event, and see through the shallow flow of thoughts in the brain and soul of ordinary people.

In this case, evidence and derivation are unnecessary.

Because they can see it directly and know it directly.

"Catch Drunk!"

After giving the order, the man with light blue hair and gray complexion was surrounded and held down by a group of knights. He trembled as he watched Earl Phoenix walk up to him step by step. He did not even dare to say, "I am wronged." ah! 'This sentence.

"Flying Flame Land?"

Earl Phoenix knelt down, grabbed the deputy director's hair, and forced him to look at him, but he couldn't see any clues from the other person's soul.

So he then asked: "Isn't it? Sure enough, is it the Dragon Worship Sect or the Cangtian Royal Court?"

Deputy Curator Drunk was stunned for a moment, and Earl Phoenix nodded, pointed out one hand, shattered the man's spine, and paralyzed him directly to the ground: "Sure enough, he is from Feiyandi."

"You should continue to pretend to be confused. Feiyandi is pretending well, but as soon as I mention the last two, your soul will feel like 'heaving a sigh of relief' and 'what is this old man guessing about?'"

The old man laughed angrily: "Hmph, although I have learned to cover up the soul fluctuations, have I not fully learned it? Feiyandi's spy education has not been up to standard in recent years."

——You have such a bad temper. And why is it Feiyandi again?

Ian on the other side watched this scene, and he couldn't help but sigh: "But it feels like sometimes you have to have such a direct leader, so that you can feel comfortable doing things."

"Of course." Hua An said matter-of-factly: "He is the 'Extreme Flame Fairy' with a bad temper among the fire fairies. Raziel's temper has gotten better and better in recent years. Let him go, this book thief." The moment you said your name, there were no other body parts except the head!"

"It's not that exaggerated..." Mo Feng said weakly for his friend: "Lazier is not that cruel. At most, he just burned his limbs and they grew back."

Ian discovered that, probably because they were fairies, these little guys were adorable, but they paid as little attention to physical damage as humans did to the mental state of passers-by - they didn't care at all.

No wonder, some goblins are also rumored to be "cold and heartless", especially young goblins. When they see a human's head falling off, they may still think to themselves, "Isn't it just that the main observation lens has fallen off? Why did they suddenly stop talking?" Such a feeling.

Hua An and Mo Feng were fairies with considerable experience, but for the punishment of such a book thief, they could only lament that Earl Phoenix was soft-hearted.

In fact, Ian felt that his hand was quite light, but the words of the old earl later made him take back his thoughts: "Call the psychics and people from the medical department to come over, dig out his head and soak it in the culture fluid. "

Obviously, this is not a description, but the head is actually dug out and soaked in culture fluid to make a brain in a vat.

"You don't want to explain?"

He snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter, Delanke, we don't need your explanation. Just wait until we cut your head and soul into pieces and dig out all the information!"

"I will confess! I will confess!"

After hearing the order from Earl Phoenix, Deputy Director Dranke, who had been keeping his teeth silent, immediately collapsed. He shouted loudly: "I, I did cooperate to help people take things out of the museum, but I didn't do it either. You know it’s the only classic book!”

"Besides, that person is definitely not from Feiyandi! He or she is a big shot in the imperial capital. He even has a residence in the upper city. I don't dare to refuse!"

Snapped.

Before this fool could say more things that he shouldn't have said, Earl Phoenix put his hand on the head of the Deputy Curator of Drunk, causing him to pass out - Ian couldn't even tell what the other person should do. Wake up, I'm afraid only psychics can dig out some information.

At this moment, the old man's face was heavy and his brows were furrowed.

"This is not a lie..."

Earl Phoenix whispered to himself, with a hint of trouble in his tone: "Damn, it's really a 'ghost'... Uptown... things are in trouble now."

"Which of my colleagues did something good?"
