Chapter 75: The Famous Detective Ah Xuan [Please read]
When Chen Xuan finished preparing and just walked to the door of the yard.
The kitten girl Rebecca has also hurried back on her bicycle.
She carries a walkie-talkie with her, so she can naturally hear Ophelia's report.
"Master..."
Chen Xuan easily sat on the back seat of the tablet and ordered without her needing special greetings.
"Let's go to the caravan station of the Western District of the Colchicum Merchant Group!"
...
Seven or eight minutes later, the master and servant arrived at the caravan station.
They wore hoods and were welcomed in by Ophelia herself.
Soon the three of them arrived at the scene of the incident.
Two pale corpses were placed on the straw mats, with wounds caused by slit throats.
Pointing to the two corpses, Ophelia introduced them softly.
"What happened was the temporary workshop in the station responsible for packaging and processing alchemical items." "The
junior alchemists hired by the caravan and the supervising guards had their throats cut and died of massive bleeding." "
The other party's hands and feet were very fast, and they robbed I bought twenty-three magic tears that were just packed..."
"The guards have the strength of black iron level. If the opponent can sneak in quietly and kill quickly, then they are at least bronze level scouts." "
The rest of the merchant guards immediately heard the news . Came, but it was still a step late, the other party withdrew very quickly."
"There are some traces of the struggle left at the scene, do you want to see it?"
Chen Xuan frowned when he heard what she said.
Judging from the appearance alone, this is an incident of killing and grabbing goods.
But he discovered some unusual details.
That is, the other party's goal is very clear, and it is clear that they are coming for the Demon Tears.
Such a precise and fast seizure operation must be supported by sufficient intelligence.
In other words, there is a high possibility of a spy in the caravan.
This kind of eating and drinking is not uncommon.
So Chen Xuan expressed his opinion to Ophelia.
But she shook her head decisively.
"Everyone in the caravan has signed a confidentiality contract."
"You cannot disclose the secrets of the caravan to others in any way."
"Including the heart and spirit."
When talking about the contract, Ophelia's face Still a little unnatural.
Chen Xuan nodded suddenly and didn't add anything more.
He just slowly raised his eyebrows and followed her into the temporary workshop.
This is said to be a workshop, but it is actually a small house with a mixed structure of stone and wood.
There were only two barred wooden windows in the house, one of which was broken.
There is a large workbench in the center, as well as various alchemy test tubes and potions.
There was a sour smell in the air.
There are still many magic cores on the table that have been exhausted.
The chair next to him was kicked over and fell to the ground, even leaving several marks from sharp weapons.
Two pools of blood were slowly solidifying.
The blood stains were relatively fresh, and it could be seen that not too long had passed since the incident.
As Ophelia said, the guards resisted.
Although the process was short-lived, it definitely happened.
This is completely a premeditated action, and it is an unsolved case with no beginning or end to anyone.
As for contacting the garrison in the city, it is even more useless.
Unless everyone gets the stolen goods, the garrison will be helpless, or they won't take it to heart at all.
The half-elf eldest lady looked depressed at this time.
She was ready to be punished by her master.
However, Chen Xuan did not give up hope of detection.
Because he also has [Insight] as the last channel to obtain clues!
Without any delay, he walked forward quickly, not missing any trace.
Soon I found a few footprints stained with dust and dirt next to the blood stains.
He stared for a moment, and the [Insight] effect was activated, looking at the traces on the left and right respectively.
Golden reminders keep appearing in my mind.
[Footprints left by a certain dexterous female human scout]
...
[The draft horse excrement from the Boltan Village Hostel in the eastern suburbs, the excretion time does not exceed one water hour] ...
[
A maqila seed]
...
The footprints contain a lot of clues.
It could be a grass seed, or feces stepped on somewhere.
These traces are meaningless to the native people of Naroa, but they can provide Chen Xuan with additional information.
Then, he stood up and walked to the window sill.
A palm-sized piece of black linen was soon discovered on the broken wooden window.
There is also a small straw stuck on it.
Violent window breaking is fast, but it will inevitably leave some scratch marks.
He stared again and activated the [Insight] effect.
[Fragments of a linen jacket made by Mullen Tailor Shop in Magtan City and sold in Three Naroa a few days ago] ...
[
A mediocre piece of straw, from the shack behind the hostel in Boltan Village in the eastern suburbs, A certain scout accidentally hooked it on his pocket while discussing with his companions]
...
Picking up this piece of cloth, Chen Xuan slowly narrowed his eyes.
Two clues have already pointed to the Boltan Village Inn in the eastern suburbs.
The enhanced [Insight] will often provide some additional clues.
At this moment, he has gathered the elements for detection.
The hotel in Boltan Village is very likely to be the opponent's stronghold!
Even if not, there will most likely be more traces left there that can be used for [Insight] tracing!
Detective Ah Xuan is officially online!
After confirming this, he immediately grabbed Ophelia and Kitten Girl.
The three of them each rode a bicycle and rushed towards the eastern suburbs.
According to Ophelia, it should have only been half an hour since the other party evacuated.
Except for the nobles in the city, the messengers from the city hall, and the garrison, no one is allowed to gallop on the streets, so if the other party leaves the city, they will not move too fast.
Now they can barely reach the east gate at most, and they have every chance of catching up.
After all, there is no ban on bicycles in the city.
...
At the east gate of Magtan City, a young woman riding a brown gelding followed the crowd and left the town.
After entering the pseudo-night, there were obviously many fewer people leaving the city.
She was carrying a baggage, as most travelers do.
The rough chestnut hair was tied up at the end, and there were a few freckles on the face on both sides of the nose.
He looks a little green and looks young, but his eyes are shining.
He was as cunning as a sewer rat, warily eyeing everyone along the way.
Hidden under the hem of her waist were two daggers, which had just slit her throat not long ago.
The blood on it has not completely dissipated.
After riding the gelding for another three or four miles, she entered the village of Boltan on the outskirts of Magtan City.
At the crossroads in the village, the signboard of Boltan Hotel is particularly conspicuous.
Turning over and dismounting, she led the horse into the courtyard from the nearby stable.
He threw two black iron coins to the groom and asked him to keep an eye on his horse.
Then she walked towards the shed in the corner of the yard.
There were two parties in the room looking forward to it.
"Mehriban is back!"
"Have you got the goods?"
"Master Harward can't wait to receive the goods!"
...
