The Truth of Magic

Chapter 108 Different Ways

When Zhao Xu was a magistrate, even if the whole town did not lack all kinds of brave adventurers, this kind of murder was not common.

Seeing this scene, he already knew that they didn't need to try to find customs clearance certificates, intelligence and so on.

Looking at the entire inner room, all kinds of drawers and chests of drawers have been emptied out, and the books on the entire large desk have been pushed upside down.

After a bottle of ink on a desk was touched, the ink flowed directly down the table and dripped at the feet of the deceased.

"Burglary?" Maple Leaf murmured when she saw this scene.

The situation looked like a robbery and murder case. Considering the cold and humid environment in this remote place, it was the best place to start.

Zhao Xu shook his head. The underground forces in this world are indeed closely related to the Wanderer's Association, but they don't completely overlap.

Among the underground forces, there are even more differences between the gang of thieves and the gang of killers.

As a security officer in his previous life, Zhao Xu deliberately lurked into the underground forces and received training, so he knew something about the inside story.

"It's not the same. The traces here seem to have a clear target. As soon as the killer came in, he was killed with a sword, and then he slowly searched the entire inner room for what he wanted. That's why the ink was covered with blood."

At this time, Zhao Xu had already walked in front of the dead fortune-teller, who they were going to meet to obtain information this time.

He lightly checked the situation under the other party's sleeves, his pupils shrank slightly, "There is no trace of binding, obviously even the intelligence torture has been skipped."

"Leave Crescent Moon Town quickly," Zhao Xu said.

"Don't need to find any more information?" Rainbow asked the rogue. He scanned the entire inner room. "Perhaps we can find some more information from here."

Zhao Xu shook his head, "It's meaningless. I'm afraid the caravan will have to go home this time. This is not just a simple murder case."

Zhao Xu's decisions have always been correct, and the subsequent development has also verified the correctness of his thinking.

Thinking of this, Maple Leaf and Rainbow didn't say much, so they followed Zhao Xu and left this place first.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu used his mage as a mage to scare off the thieves from the Tallinn brotherhood, so that they would not dare to follow them.

Otherwise, if they noticed that the three of Zhao Xu entered here, after the murder was discovered, the three of them would definitely be wanted and explained the situation.

After going out, Zhao Xu and Maple Leaf Caihong still carried out some anti-stalking methods cautiously.

After digging around corners and making way, they confirmed that there was no follower, and they left Crescent Moon Town together with the flow of people.

After returning to the place where the caravan had been hidden, the three breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly told Roja about today's experience.

After Roja heard their statement, his complexion changed a few times, and even his breath was uneven.

"Maybe this is just a case of seeking money. If the clue is broken, it will not hinder our next plan." Roja said slowly after taking a deep breath.

Zhao Xu's heart shuddered.

It seems that everyone's fate has come to an end at this moment.

"Do you still think so?" Zhao Xu said, "I don't think a rogue who is at least level 2 will be killed by a simple blow."

Roja's eyes suddenly revealed an unbelievable look, but he immediately suppressed the tension in his heart and explained: "Mr. Zhong Xia, you misunderstood, the person who connected with you is just an 'expert' who is good at "forgery documents". He is An ordinary person has no fighting power."

Zhao Xu shook his head, raised his hand slightly to signal Roya to listen to him.

"Leader Roja, although I don't know why you are lying about this. But some details are still obvious."

Zhao Xu said calmly, "The calluses developed by holding a weapon to practice'sneak attack' ability and the calluses trained by forging documents have different positions and sizes."

Roja was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect his explanation to be debunked on the spot.

At this moment, Maple Leaf and the others looked over in surprise, not expecting Zhao Xu to discover this detail at all.

"That person should be the dark line sent by Katan and Buso City to Crescent Moon Town."

Zhao Xu slowly expressed his speculation.

"If my guess is correct, then the whole logic can be explained clearly. Why the fortune teller was not hunted down by the guards of the Merchant Alliance in Crescent Moon Town, but was killed by the killer directly. Because some people already know about Crescent Moon Town. We don’t want to let the news leak out, so we directly use the underground forces to solve it.”

Seeing Roja's tired expression, Zhao Xu said with a bit of pity: "And this also means that even Kaso and Butan City have been infiltrated a lot by the Merchant Alliance. Otherwise, I don't think The business alliance has such great confidence, it would rather cut off the opponent's claws in Crescent Moon Town than detain it for interrogation."

It is a bit extravagant for a wanderer of more than one level to be placed in a remote town as an ordinary connector.

A rogue with the "sneak attack" ability, to put it bluntly, is barely qualified to be a killer.

At this time, including Yoyo who looked at the most innocent, also fell silent.

The degree of crisis in this situation is already obvious.

"Mr. Zhong Xia, I didn't expect you, as an earth adventurer, to have such a profound sensitivity to the ecology of the town. I'm sorry that I didn't—"

"So you still have to move on?" Zhao Xu retorted lightly. "I don't think the Merchant Alliance can't even send out the most basic investigation force when they know that there is a smuggling caravan like us."

It's just that Zhao Xu didn't have enough evidence for the rest, so he didn't say anything more.

For a moment, the entire tent fell into silence.

Zhao Xu had never done smuggling, but Roja was different. He must have sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he still refused to give up. Obviously he wanted to take a gamble.

Bet he can make it through.

Zhao Xu's three hole cards, Antinoya let him use them to gain experience by taking risks, not to protect anyone.

Otherwise, he could have asked the Mage Association of Crescent Moon Town to issue them a certificate just now.

In this way, the entire smuggling caravan can reach the front line openly.

"There are two ways now." Zhao thought for a while, and then said: "Either transport these materials back and treat it as a failure. Or bury these things on the spot, and wait for a new change in the whole situation here, and then make a decision." Action. You can consult with your leader first."

The second half of Zhao Xu's sentence was short of waiting for Ka Suo and Butan city to fail.

At this time, Roja stood up directly, and he said with a trace of emotion, "Believe me, Mr. Zhong Xia, I am confident that I will lead the entire caravan to the front line smoothly. With your help, we have the confidence. And we I will definitely offer you a higher reward. I can now-"

"That's how it is." Zhao Xu interrupted Roja's generous speech lightly.

"The matter has come to this, let's part ways," Zhao Xu said.

Tick ​​tock, the tent began to be knocked by raindrops.

The clouds and fog that had been suppressed for a long time finally couldn't bear it, and the sound of pattering rain spread throughout the Nanyu forest.

The summer rainy season has finally arrived.
