Chapter 162: The Detective's Advice
"So what exactly did you find?"
Facing the detective's serious and nervous eyes, Ronald stared at the other party's eyes without showing weakness, and then continued:
"I told you before, it's very dangerous."
"And I did see Lumir's body on the Black Mountain, so there's no doubt about that."
“......”
Faced with Ronald's answer, Swift fell silent.
The pestle remained motionless for a few seconds, and at last he shook his head as if deflated, then turned his head and led the way upstairs.
"Ahh
"Let's go upstairs first."
"There is a technique I asked someone to make in the living room on the second floor, at least it will not be eavesdropped, although my side is not exposed, but at least I must take due precautions."
"Okay."
Nodding yes, Ronald followed Swift up to the second floor.
It's still the same living room last time, after the two sat down separately, Swift poured a cup of hot tea for Ronald first, and then said with some emotion:
"The Lumir that Bach adopted could be a summon, or some kind of spell token, or it could be an otherworldly creature. I can't be sure of the specific type, but in short, that 'Lumir' is definitely not human! ”
"My school of spells specializes in perception and human behavior, and in my observations in the past two days, that guy is absolutely not in line with human characteristics in all aspects."
"Aren't you human......"
Hearing Swift's explanation, Ronald nodded noncommittally.
This is actually in his previous hypothetical situation.
After all, the things on the Black Mountain have proven a lot of things, but as Swift said, I just don't know what the hell is going on with Lumir.
At the same time, Swift's explanation continues.
Adjusting his sitting position on the sofa, Mr. Detective said in a serious and serious tone:
"Actually, that's not all I've investigated."
"During these two days, I sneaked into the warden's manor and discovered something even more surprising."
"Isn't there a man with Lumir all the time?"
Ronald nodded:
"yes, I remember."
Swift took a breath to calm his emotions before continuing:
"Tell you."
"That guy who looks like a valet on the surface is actually a master of the original texture!"
"Huh......?"
Ronald's hand that was originally holding the teacup also shook a little:
"Are you sure about this?"
To be honest, this news was a bit more than he expected.
At the banquet hosted by the Investigation Bureau, Ronald knew that the manservant was close to protect Lumir.
But I didn't expect that it was actually a master of the original text!
Are you kidding?
Has the situation in Brunwich been exaggerated to such an extent?
Even with the warden's social identity and status, it would be too outrageous to let a master of the original canon be a valet.
"Of course I'm sure he is."
Looking at Ronald's dumbness in front of him, Swift understood his surprise very well.
He waited a few seconds before he continued to speak more powerful information.
"Actually, that guy is more than just a master of the original scriptures."
"Even the explosion of divine energy in Brunwich two months ago, I suspect that there is a connection with the original text in this man's hand."
"After all, when I was following that guy, in his remnants of mana that overflowed extremely quickly, I felt the divine aura emanating from that mysterious event, and there was almost no difference between the magical nature."
“......”
Ronald was silent.
Another thing he hadn't expected before.
The culprit who caused the mysterious side fluctuations of Brenwich was actually the master of this original text?
- unimaginable situation.
But at the same time, it seems that he can also match what he has seen and heard during this time.
After all, the warden is a traitor, so it makes sense to harbor a dangerous person in his own home.
After a while, Ronald spoke again:
"What about the church?"
"The two clergy I said went into the warden's house."
"Church ......"
Hearing the word, a trace of sorrow flashed in Swift's eyes.
But he quickly suppressed his emotions and continued to explain to Ronald:
"The situation on the side of the church is very strange, and there is almost no reaction to what is going on here, as if the two clergy have been abandoned by default."
"In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, I also went to do a special investigation. Those two men were the same registered priests as you said, and they hadn't been seen in Brenwich for the past two days. ”
“......”
Ronald wondered if Swift had any other ideas, so he asked more:
"So what do you think of them now?"
Swift then replied:
"They were undoubtedly at the prison warden's house."
"But now, whether it's in a dungeon or a cemetery, I don't know."
“......”
After saying that, both fell into a brief silence.
After taking the tea and drinking it, Swift broke the silence first.
"Ronald, what do you think now?"
Ronald pointed to himself:
"My thoughts?"
"That's right, what you think." Swift nodded affirmatively, then continued, "Are you going to report this to the Bureau of Investigation, or are you going to just hide it as an inactive area?" ”
"From a friend's point of view, I suggest you choose the latter."
"This kind of thing, as long as it is stabbed out from your side, no matter what the final result is, you may not be able to avoid getting into trouble."
"We shouldn't be involved in this kind of big thing."
"This is my advice to you as an employer as a detective."
“......”
"You're right."
Looking at Swift's serious expression, Ronald nodded.
Mr. Detective's suggestion was undoubtedly made out of good intentions.
From the perspective of a normal person, no matter what aspect of the person, he should not continue to participate, and it is the right choice to get out and leave immediately.
But it's a pity that Ronald still has the Divine Comedy in his hands.
There are also some very subjective things that he can't let go of in his heart.
So he didn't intend to run away from it.
Taking out the commission for this operation from his jacket pocket, Ronald slowly placed it in front of Swift:
"In that case, let's stop this commission for now."
"I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Swift."
“......”
However, in the face of Ronald's actions, Swift showed a completely different reaction than just now.
"This commission is not complete."
Taking the initiative to push the commission back in front of Ronald, Mr. Detective shook his head:
"Next, we can conduct a follow-up investigation."
"This is my advice to a friend as a detective."
