Lord God Investigator

The breakthrough in the case found by the task force was an unexpected surprise. Who would have thought that key evidence would be found in an anti-smuggling operation that had nothing to do with this case?

The Amn Navy intercepted a merchant ship while patrolling the waters off the city of Ascotra. The Navy's anti-smuggling team conducted a routine inspection of the merchant ship and found a batch of magic crystals in the mezzanine of the merchant ship's bottom warehouse.

This batch of goods was not reported and was intended to be transported quietly into Amn to avoid high customs duties.

This was originally just a normal anti-smuggling operation, and what was discovered was just an ordinary smuggling case.

Amn imposes punitively high taxes on magic items. In order to obtain more profits, magic crystal merchants often use smuggling methods to transport magic items into Amn and sell them to black market merchants.

However, the attentive customs officials remembered the joint investigation report on the bombing of the Bredreau Theater that caused a lot of controversy recently. The task force reported the case to various departments in Amn in the form of secret letters, which mentioned that the bomb used to blow up the theater was a kind of bomb. Magic bomb, magic crystal is one of the raw materials for making magic bomb.

So the customs officials provided the seized magic crystal samples to the task force. After inspection, the arcanists of the Masked Mages Association determined that the bomb used in the Bredlow Theater bombing was made of this kind of magic crystal.

This is a big clue!

The task force immediately interrogated the magic crystal smuggler. Under torture and extorting a confession, the magic crystal smuggler couldn't stand the torture and confessed to his black market counterparty.

This person is the ore merchant Jieliya!

Jelia was immediately arrested and subjected to the same torture.

As for why the task force tortured a suspect after catching it, this is not unusual.

There is no such concept as "human rights" in Faerûn in the magical Middle Ages. Even the regular political power of the lawful camp will not take any gentle measures against criminals and will fight wherever necessary.

If you find out after the beating that you arrested the wrong person, I'm really sorry. You are unlucky. Please be grateful (because you were not beaten to death) and get out of the prison to make room for the next unlucky guy.

The ore merchant couldn't stand the torture anymore and violated the rules of the black market merchant by leaking the secret client list.

In the past six months, there has been only one customer who purchased this type of magic crystal!

The magic crystal shipped by the smuggler was also ordered by that customer, and the deposit of 100,000 gold coins has been paid!

After the task force received this clue, they were extremely excited and believed that the truth was right in front of them. As long as they caught the customer who bought the magic crystal, they could solve the Bradlow Theater bombing case.

Jie Liya confessed that the customer made the purchase anonymously, and Jie Liya did not know who the person was.

It's not difficult to recognize someone who doesn't know him. The task force hired a portrait artist and asked Jieliya to describe the person's appearance, and the portrait artist drew based on his description.

According to Jieliya's description, the customer is a hooded woman with short hair and a cold and beautiful appearance...

After the portrait was completed, the task force took a look and found out that this was Lucite who had been imprisoned for falsely accusing Bradero a month ago?

It was determined that the customer who purchased the magic crystal was Lucite, but the task force was not in a hurry to arrest her because this woman was a member of Garros, the great businessman of Amn, and it was Garros who paid the fine for her release on bail.

In Amn, the amount of money is linked to social status. Garros is a wealthy businessman, and his social status is accordingly very high. According to intelligence, Lucite has been haunting Garros' mansion in the port area. Hidden in the mansion.

For the sake of caution, the task force started collecting evidence from witnesses near the ore merchant's shop. After questioning the testimonies of nearly 300 citizens who lived nearby and frequented the area, the clues gradually became clear.

Witnesses confirmed that just after Lucite purchased the magic crystal, the carriage transporting the magic crystal drove to the port area. Witnesses in the port area also confirmed that the carriage finally drove into the back alley of the Gallows mansion.

After the carriage entered the back alley, there were no witnesses who saw the carriage coming out again.

A series of clues lead directly to the big businessman Gallows.

Mayor Bailana, who listened to the report of the task force, immediately remembered that on the night of the bombing, Bredero had raised suspicions about Meloniya and Lucite, who had framed him, and believed that they were terrorists. Because the terrorist plan was ruined by Bredlow and he was resentful, he planned the bombing to retaliate.

However, the female mayor intuitively believed that it was impossible for two people from the good camp to do such a thing, so she did not invest in this line of investigation. After the task force found a series of evidence and clues, she had to admit that she Sometimes our intuition is wrong (in fact, it is not wrong).

"Arrest the major suspect Lucite immediately!"

The female mayor gave an order.

Attorney General Ungale led the Amn guards to rush to Gallows Mansion, but they were stopped by the Harper guards at the door of the mansion and were not allowed to break into the Harpers' secret base.

The secret base established by the Harper Alliance in Amn was hidden from the six-member Council of Amn. Once the base was discovered by Amn officials, the Harper Alliance would be very embarrassed, and the two sides would have to argue diplomatically for a long time.

No country in Faerûn, even those in the good camp, would like Harper agents to hide secretly in their country without reporting to the government.

What's more, Amn is not a country of the good camp. There are quite a lot of people from the evil camp in the six-person council. God knows if these Harpers are planning some "eating" operation against a certain big shot in the six-person council.

Once the Amn guards break into the Gallows mansion, they will see a huge Mystra sculpture and a very Harper-style decoration as soon as they enter the door.

These Harpers are also mentally ill. They are obviously spies. They have set up a secret base and spent a lot of money to decorate it in such a stylish way. Are they not afraid that someone will sneak in and the secret of the secret camp will be exposed all at once?

It's no wonder that the Zhentarim mages have been keeping an eye on him nearby. Such an obvious negligence will definitely expose his whereabouts.

As long as the interior is decorated like a normal home, even if there is an official inspection from Amn, there is no need to stop it like today.

Grand Prosecutor Bugalie even more believed that this building was suspicious. Even if the mansion belonged to the big businessman Gallows, and the security team of the Amn City Hall wanted to go in and arrest someone, they would not have reacted so violently, and even the gates were not allowed to enter.

Since these people dared to disobey orders even after revealing their identity as the Grand Prosecutor, and did not take the Amn regime seriously at all, they must be a group of outlaws. Bugalie thought that there was nothing to say, so he gave the order Just call the Amn soldiers to attack!

It's a pity that he came in a hurry this time and only brought a small group of Amn soldiers, only twelve people.

This group of Amn soldiers was defeated by the Harpers who rushed out of the mansion for reinforcements!

Prosecutor Bugalie fled in a hurry under the cover of his adjutant, and the arrest operation failed.
