Chapter 1490 Obvious clues
In fact, Leo and Sylvia do not need to investigate this incident involving extraordinary power by analyzing ancient texts or investigating the mayor's information. They have a more efficient and direct way to investigate this matter, and it takes no more than one day at most.
This method is actually very simple. It is to directly find the corpse of the mayor who died of the curse, directly extract the remaining curse power from the corpse, and then find the person who imposed the curse by tracing the source of the curse power.
The reason why they did not use this direct method, but used non-extraordinary power methods, was to hide the fact that they had extraordinary power and give the people they came into contact with a hypothesis of the identity of scholars.
They don’t know the situation in Teresa’s Kingdom now, and naturally they don’t want their situation to be understood by the people in Teresa’s Kingdom. Proper hiding some abilities can also allow them to use more cards in their hands when an accident occurs.
Just when Delkan sent someone to the investigation team of the Kingdom of Teresa to second the mayor's qualifications for the Teresa mercenary group in the town, the three members of the investigation team were also feeling extremely headaches for this clueless case.
Merkel, as the leader of the investigation team, was extremely anxious and didn't like anything. Even a beautiful mechanical pocket watch he bought from the School City for a lot of money some time ago became ugly and hateful in his eyes. He always had the urge to smash it.
He knew very well that his emotions were wrong, but he couldn't vent it because it was completely his own question. He could have chosen a simpler and easier task as a trial task for his position promotion, but he chose the current damn task because of his face. As a result, he had no clue about the investigation and was blocked in Dashu Town for several months. He was about to see the trial time in a few days.
If he cannot complete the mission in the past few days and has not investigated the reason for the mayor's curse, then his trial mission may have failed. The next promotion trial will take several years later. He needs to complete double the regular mission before he can get the promotion opportunity again.
His two colleagues also knew about his situation, so they tried every means to find any relevant clues during this period, but they still found nothing.
"Do you really want to ask that guy for help?" Merkel said to himself for the fifty-seventh time after pressing the urge to crush the pocket watch in his hand again.
In fact, he also has a way to solve the current problem. This method is very simple, to find a helper, and there happened to be a very powerful helper to investigate another incident involving extraordinary power near Dashu Town. It only took half a day to send the message to invite the man over. With his understanding of that person's ability, it should not be difficult to solve the mayor's curse.
But he also knew that the favors he owed that person was like borrowing money from usury. In the end, he might have to pay far more than expected. Among the people he knew, he eventually lost all his money to repay the favors he had and never recovered.
Just as Merkel was hesitating, one of his colleagues suddenly spoke, "I know that Viper is investigating the case in the nearby Changmeng Village. Why don't we ask him to come and help?"
The proposal of this colleague coincides with what Merkel is thinking now. Viper is the nickname of the helper. As for his real name, only a few senior officials such as the director of the Bureau of Investigation and others know that some people speculate that this person may be related to the royal family, or that a member of the royal family came to the Bureau of Investigation for trial.
Just like his nickname, Viper attacks are quick and vicious, and the targets he attacks are not only his enemies, but also his companions. It is said that he has followed seven investigation teams one after another, and these seven investigation teams were eventually disbanded due to heavy losses in personnel. Now he is the only lone hero in the Investigation Bureau, because no investigation team dares to accept this person.
Just as Merkel began to seriously consider this proposal that fits his mind, another colleague said in shock: "You are crazy, ask that guy to help. Do you think we have lived enough? Do you know how the ninth team was disbanded? It was that guy who used his team members as bait to detonate a powerful heresy who was blocked. As a result, when the team members fought with the heresy, he ran out to clean up the mess and robbed all the credit. I don't want a guy who stabbed the knife in the back. If you really let that guy participate, I will immediately release it. I would rather have an extra record of failure in my resume and would not work with that guy."
Seeing his colleagues decisively expressing their attitude, Merkel and the other person didn't say anything else.
At this time, the attendant who was arranged by the military camp to the investigation team suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, and then reported to the three of them that the academic exchange team in Xuecheng sent someone to second the information about the mayor who died of cursing.
Merkel asked with a confused look on his face: "Communication team? What do those scholars want this information?"
My colleagues around him seemed to remember something and said, "I remember in the morning, a scholar sent someone to tell me that they wanted to assist in investigating the mayor's curse. I didn't care so much at that time, and felt that they were just adding some social practice experience to the apprentice." As he said that, he was stunned again and said, "Now it seems that they may have discovered something?"
"Discover? How could it be discovered?" Another person expressed disbelief and said: "We have been investigating here for several months. More than a dozen churches, including the Church of Justice, have sent Inquisition Paladins or heresy hunters to investigate, but no clues were found. Now the scholars from the school town have only been here for less than a day, and the formal investigation has not been conducted for three hours. Do you think this is possible?"
"How is it impossible?" the man retorted: "The method and process of investigating this matter are based on previous experiences and habits. These experiences and habits may make us ignore some clues that do not match our experiences, and teach those people that are similar to us. Now these scholars in the school town investigate this matter from a completely different perspective, and they may find some clues we missed."
My colleagues were a little displeased and said, "I'm not until you admire the scholars in Xuecheng, but you don't have to exaggerate their abilities and knowledge so much. No matter how strong their abilities are, they are just ordinary people."
The man said unhappily: "I am just explaining the facts, and I don't..."
"Okay!" Merkel interrupted the conversation between the two, ending the conversation that might trigger controversy, and then thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's send the information to yourself and see if the scholars have really found useful clues."
Seeing that Merkel had made a decision, the other two in the investigation team were not saying anything. In this way, the three of them left the corps camp with the information and the students who came to second the information, entered the town, and went straight to the town mayor's residence.
Gu saw that the people from the investigation team sent the information personally. Delkan and other scholars were a little surprised, but they didn't care too much. They greeted Merkel and others, informed each other of their identities, and then took the information to the study to hand it over to Leo and Sylvia for review.
"What? Are two foreigners who found the clue?" Merkel was a little surprised after inquiring about the situation.
"Scholars, they are all foreign scholars, not the foreigners you call them." One scholar seemed dissatisfied with Merkel's attitude of mentioning the Leo couple, frowned and retorted.
Merkel and the other two other investigative teams looked at the scholar in surprise, and then at other scholars around who also showed dissatisfaction expressions. They were curious about the foreign couple they met by chance, because they knew very well how arrogant and introverted these scholars were in front of others, but these scholars now showed such obvious respect to the two foreigners who had only known each other for a few days, which made them feel incredible.
So, the three members of the investigation team followed Delkan with curiosity and came to the study. They happened to see Delkan handing over the information to Leo sitting on the sofa.
Seeing the three members of the investigation team coming in, Delkan just frowned, and then introduced the identities of the three members of the investigation team to Leo and Sylvia very formally, and then introduced the identities of Leo and Sylvia to the investigation team. However, the attitude changed significantly during the introduction, which made the three members of the investigation team feel a little annoyed and depressed.
However, they quickly adjusted their emotions and focused on Leo and Sylvia.
Compared to the identity of a travel scholar introduced by Delkan, they believe more in their own experience and judgment. Through the behaviors and special temperaments of Leo and Sylvia, they judged that these two are definitely not an ordinary foreign couple. They probably have extremely noble identities, because they have only felt the special temperaments of the two in front of them in a few people, and those people are undoubtedly all big figures with extremely high identities.
In their opinion, Leo's husband is fine. Although he also has that special temperament, it is not strong. Instead, the temperament of Sylvia, as his wife, even formed an invisible power, allowing anyone who can feel this temperament to feel suppressed. Under the influence of this feeling, they couldn't help but lower their heads and dared not stare at each other too presumptuously, just like facing their superiors' subordinates.
Although they knew that something was wrong with their emotions, they could not solve it because their keen perception prevented them from blocking this power. Instead, those scholars as ordinary people would not be affected in any way.
In fact, compared to the surprise and doubts in the other two members of the investigation team, Merkel was more shocked in his heart, and this shock was instantly aroused in his heart after seeing the wife named Sylvia, because this female scholar from a foreign country looked like a noble lady he had met before, and that lady was absolutely impossible to appear abroad, and even more impossible to become a foreigner's wife.
Although the three members of the investigation team covered up their emotional changes well and did not turn them into expressions on their faces, this concealment was useless for Leo and Sylvia. The two clearly inferred the emotional changes of the three members from the subtle movements of the investigation team.
But they didn't care too much, because they could feel the energy fluctuations generated by the extraordinary power of the three people, so they judged that the three people must have been suppressed by the bloodline of their superiors, so they did not expect that there were other reasons.
After taking the mayor's information, Leo quickly read it and handed it over to Sylvia, and then asked Merkel: "Captain Merkel, have you ever investigated the origin of this mayor when you investigated Mayor Jason?"
Merkel did not show any resistance to Leo's question. Instead, he replied as if he was reporting his work to his superiors: "Of course I have investigated. The mayor came from Yinguoshu Town, Taolun Province, the Kingdom of Yadian. We also sent someone to investigate and found no abnormalities."
"No abnormality was found?" At this time, Sylvia also put down the information in her hand, looked at the three people in the investigation team with some disdain, and said, "You didn't even notice such an obvious abnormality on it, which is really disappointing."
After hearing this, the three members of the investigation team looked confused and did not understand what Sylvia was saying. The scholars were also curious about Sylvia's words. They picked up the mayor's information and quickly read it. But just like the three members of the investigation team, these scholars also found no abnormalities.
"Before being transferred to Dashu Town to be the mayor, this mayor, Jason has been working in the Taolun Province. He has never left Taolun Province. Even if he travels, he is only in the surrounding areas. Taolun Province is located in a basin with a warm and humid climate and has never snowed even in winter. However, the Mayor Jason's medical records record that he has very serious patirotis disease. This disease only occurs in severe cold areas in the north. It is a special disease that can only be suffered from due to long-term living in extremely cold areas. A person who lives in warm areas all year round has a disease that can only be experienced in cold areas. What do you think is the reason?"
"Is this Mayor Jason fake?" Before the investigation team could speak, a scholar immediately said in surprise.
As soon as this statement was spoken, the room was in an uproar. They were all surprised by the discovery, and the three members of the investigation team looked embarrassed. They had never thought that the mayor who had been in Dashu Town for more than ten years was a fake. Not only did they not expect that, but no one who came to investigate this matter had thought of this.
At this time, Leo turned to Delcan and said, "Mr. Delcan, do you still remember the ancient and exotic texts we discovered before?"
"Of course I remember." Delkan responded immediately.
Leo followed and reminded: "The arrangement of ancient and different languages is very special, different from the conventional arrangement."
Delkan was stunned when he heard this, and then after thinking for a moment, he seemed to think of something and said with surprise: "I understand, it is the Tamink arrangement method. This arrangement method is the Tamink arrangement method that only exists in the northern snowfield area."
