The status of the deacon in the local area is not low.

Before they were confirmed that they could not return, these ordinary guards dared to steal?

Put the valuable things in the room into their own pockets?

Wu Heng felt that this statement was untenable.

The other members of the association behind him also stared at each other.

Waiting for a reasonable answer.

The captain of the guard looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that he would be targeted when he came back to give money.

After a little hesitation, he replied: "My lords, I misunderstood, it's really a misunderstanding."

"What kind of misunderstanding, let me hear it." Wu Heng still looked at him.

The captain immediately said: "These things were not taken by us, but someone took advantage of the chaos in the city and took them away. Because it involves local deacons, we recovered some things, but..., the people below were not honest and divided some of them."

He looked up carefully and continued, "I learned that the adults from the headquarters came to investigate, and I was afraid of causing trouble, so I arranged for people to recall these properties and send them to the adults."

Wu Heng and others frowned.

I didn't expect him to come up with such an excuse.

In other words, they didn't take the things, but the recovered dirty things, and part of them were confiscated and divided.

This time, the people from the association headquarters came to investigate, and they were a little unsure, so they took the initiative to send it over.

"It's already taken, and if it's not sent back, we don't know." Wu Heng said.

"This sir, the City Lord's Mansion has ordered not to have conflicts with the association. The money distributed to each person is not much, and they are afraid of causing trouble." The captain continued to say, and said everything that happened in the team.

Dividing dirty things is not uncommon in any era.

When the association team handles problems, the seized items can be directly divided by their own team, and only important and special items will be handed over.

"Are all the things that have been distributed here?" Wu Heng asked.

"Some of them can't be found, so I will discount the difference for you. Please forgive me, sirs."

Hum~!

The old wizard Zhan Weito snorted coldly.

The other members of the association also looked ugly.

These people in front of him were either of high rank or with strong backgrounds, so who would lack this little money?

And these things that could not be found were very likely to be helpful to the whole case.

Wu Heng also looked at the other party up and down, and did not intend to ask any more questions here.

He said directly: "Please ask this captain to go back with us so that we can explain the matter clearly."

"Ah? Sir, I don't know the rest of the matter, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to help." The captain's face changed.

"Don't worry, it's just a simple inquiry." Wu Heng glanced back.

Several members of the association team stepped forward and walked towards the captain.

The guards behind the captain also began to get a little restless and were ready to fight.

"Don't move, don't move, I'll go back with you." The captain said, and then said to his men behind him: "I'll go to the association, and you can take this matter back."

Seeing that the other party was quite honest, Wu Heng nodded, "Just cooperate."

There were not many means that Wu Heng could use to deal with living beings.

The only [Sincerity Clay Doll] was obtained by killing the Association Supervisor in private, and it must not be used.

Just because I can't do it doesn't mean that other people in the Association can't do it.

Among the accompanying personnel, the 15th-level priest has the ability to [Detect Lies].

According to what Xilagui said to me before leaving, this ability is not something that everyone can detect.

But the team leader in front of me is obviously only level 7 or 8.

It's not a big problem to identify him.

It's confirmed that there are no clues here, so two members of the Association are arranged to stay temporarily, and the rest of them will go to the Association opposite.

Just as they walked to the gate, the dwarf 'Kaitan' who was arranged to go to the City Hall also came back.

"Hand him over to the elders, and explain the matter by the way." Wu Heng said.

The team members walked into the Association with the captain of the guard.

Wu Heng walked towards the returning 'Kaitan' and asked, "How is it?"

"Nothing was found. No real estate and information were found for the three names." The dwarf said directly.

Wu Heng frowned, and the matter was more difficult than he thought.

There were no clues in both directions.

The old wizard Gianvituo asked, "What should we do next?"

Wu Heng said, "Go and call out the local deputy deacon."

A member walked in directly and came back with the local deputy deacon behind him.

"My lords."

"You all said that many people died in the city. Where were the bodies buried?" Wu Heng asked.

"They were burned. There was black smoke for several days in a row, and the whole city smelled like burnt people." The local deputy deacon said.

"So many bodies, all burned?"

The deputy deacon thought for a while and said, "Some local residents with families should be buried in the cemetery."

"Take us there to have a look. By the way, prepare a carriage for Dean Gianvituo." Wu Heng said.

"Yes." The deputy deacon nodded and began to prepare.

Not long after, the carriage and horses were brought in.

The old wizard and the investigator took the carriage, and the others took the horses and followed the local deputy deacon out of the city.

...

At the city gate.

The guards only asked a simple question and let them go directly.

This was completely the opposite of their attitude before docking in the morning.

Wu Heng and the others did not stop and went all the way to the cemetery outside the city.

At a glance, there were densely packed graves.

Took out a few masks from the space ring and distributed them to the rest of the people, and ordered the skeleton, "Dig the grave, dig from the front to the back."

The skeleton swung the shovel and dug out all the corpses inside.

The coffin lid was opened, and the strong stench of rotting corpses instantly filled the air.

Many people subconsciously stepped back two steps and kept their distance.

Wu Heng released [Talk to the Dead] on a corpse, and the corpse sat up, turned its head, and its eyeballs fell to the ground.

"How did you die?"

The corpse replied hoarsely, "Two waves of people fought and killed me."

"Do you know any news about the association's deacon?"

"I don't know."

"During the civil war in the city, was there any news that you thought was special?"

The corpse was silent for a while, and said, "The City Lord's Mansion claimed that there were reinforcements and would help defend the city..."

...

Association, Deacon's Study.

Elder Tapani sat behind the desk, looking through some previous information.

Dongdongdong~!

The door knocked, and two level 15 professionals in the team walked in.

The priest said, "Elder, the man was taken away by the people from the City Lord's Mansion, and nothing was found out from him."

"Is everything he said true?" Tapani frowned.

"With his rank, he can't lie to me. Several people privately divided some things. This time we came here, and the City Lord's Mansion didn't allow us to have conflicts with us, so they sent the things back." The priest replied.

"Did the investigator record everything?"

"Recorded."

As he spoke, the door knocked again.

Wu Heng, Janvito and others all walked in.

Tapani's eyes lit up, "What did you find out?"

"We checked the deacon's residence and went outside to dig up the graves and ask about the corpses. So far, nothing has been found." Wu Heng asked back, "What about the captain?"

The priest said, "Everything he said is true. The things were divided privately."

At this point, everyone fell silent.

The fact that the association members entered the city could not be concealed.

So, Wu Heng and others immediately began to investigate.

But after walking around, no clues were found.

"It's not a good start." The elder muttered, and then said: "Wu Heng, what are you going to do next?"

"First, collect information from other secret talkers. If necessary, you can also publicly offer a reward for the information." Wu Heng said directly.

An association cannot have only one secret talker.

Maybe other secret talkers can send some useful information.

Publicly offering a reward for information is a last resort, and of course it will damage the image of the association.

"Maybe there was an accident, not the murderer." One person said.

Wu Heng did not answer immediately, but found a seat to sit down.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I'm thinking about a question."

"What question?"

"There is no body, the place of death cannot be found, and the things in the house have been moved. If there is no secret talker who went to Treasure Island to deliver the message, it is fine to say that the deacon left because of the war in the city."
