"Is the dissection over?" Leang changed the subject.
"Not yet, but with Zoe and Carlson here, I don't have anything to do. I'm bored inside, so I come out and walk around." Wein patted Leon, "Not bad, I didn't tell the boss behind his back. Bad words.”
"Ha ha……"
A Commissioner of the Solemnity Bureau walked upstairs, looked around, and came to Li and Ang: "I'm sorry, where is Captain Zoe?"
"She is busy, tell me if you have anything." Wein gestured toward the master bedroom.
The commissioner understood that the outsiders who were now able to move around in the mansion were presumably external experts, so he simply handed over the paper materials in his hand: "This is the test result of the footprints left by the murderer."
Wei Yin took it, glanced at it, and threw it to Leon.
Leon looked at the report: "Beamon 147 mid-calf boots, shoe size 42, produced by Jushen Industries..."
"Behemoth type boots, I remember they are exclusively for the military." Wein glanced at Leon and knew that he had no knowledge in this field.
In other words, it was a military boot that left this footprint.
"Yes, and it has been around for some years. All the mid-calf boots of type 152 are in circulation now." The commissioner replied seriously, "According to the data, the circulation time of type 147 mid-calf boots was from 1080 to 1083."
This year is 1098. In other words, these boots were made at least 15 years ago.
"The Beamon type military boots from Titan Industry are strong and wear-resistant, but they are definitely not comfortable to wear. It is precisely because of this that they are updated and updated after only three or four years of production." Wein said, "It is difficult to commit crimes with such a pair of boots. Let no one doubt the deep meaning behind this.”
"Could it be that he is a veteran?" Liang guessed. "According to what you said, these boots are exclusively for the military. They are uncomfortable to wear and have been out of date for a long time. I am afraid that only veterans who have special feelings for them would choose to still wear them today." He even wore it to commit crimes."
"Well, and the circulation time of these boots, don't you think it's close to something?"
"What's up?"
The commissioner interrupted: "You must be talking about the 'Eastern Exile Dispute' 17 years ago."
Being mentioned in this way, Leon also remembered what Vein had mentioned. The reason why the Eastern Exile was independent from several regions was due to the "dispute" between the three grand dukes, and this dispute occurred in 17 years. ago, which happened to coincide with the reported release time of the boots.
If there is any event that can leave a veteran with deep feelings, there is no doubt that a war in the name of "dispute" is the most likely.
"So, it is possible that the prisoner is a... magic warrior who participated in the dispute in the East Exile 17 years ago?"
Liang wanted to laugh as he said this, it was too magical.
Wei Yin shook his head: "Tsk, tsk, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to meet these characteristics."
"How to say?"
"There are extraordinary people in the military, but they all start as lieutenant-level officers, and it is impossible to wear cheap products like the Beamon 147. So if there is such a veteran, then he was not a wizard or a mystic 17 years ago. Witch apprentice."
"As for later embarking on the path of magic and becoming a wizard...Magic is a test of talent and resources. If you are not in the Secret Witch Alliance and have not become a secret wizard apprentice before the age of 16, you basically say goodbye to magic."
"The disputes between the Grand Dukes are not so short of men that they openly recruit strong men. The soldiers are all over 20 years old. Even if the veteran retires at the speed of light, he is still in his 20s. If he wants to become a real wizard at this age, it is probably more difficult than buying a real wizard. It’s hard to win the lottery unless you spend resources and blood to cultivate it.”
"But as mentioned before, since he started as a grassroots soldier, his family background should not be very good - otherwise it would be safer to buy a non-commissioned officer status - so he should not have too much money to spend on the path of magic. Magic is not very good.
Very expensive.”
"But..." Wein changed his subject, "There are exceptions to everything. Maybe there really is such a genius."
Liang covered his face: "...You've just been talking a lot of nonsense these days?"
"No, I'm just demonstrating the possibility."
Seeing that the two external experts were getting further and further away from each other, the commissioner quickly reminded: "By the way, we tested the composition of the footprints and found silt."
"Let me guess, from the sewers?"
"Yes, the composition of the sludge in the footprints is basically the same as that in the sewers. We are currently trying to further analyze which area of the sewers it is closer to."
"Go on."
The commissioner finished his report and left. Wein frowned: "Is it a sewer...Leon, what do you think?"
What do I think? Am I Yuan Fang? Liang twitched his lips: "Maybe he entered the mansion through the sewer."
"The possibility is very high, and it is possible to escape through the sewers after committing the crime. The sewer system of Caspers is quite large and complex, and even the black market is located in it."
"black market?"
"Don't worry, I will have a chance to go in the future."
Liang thought for a while: "Speaking of which, isn't there any means of channeling? It's just to summon the spirit body and soul of the imperial minister for questioning."
"I'm afraid not. Abilities such as channeling belong to the Wanzhong lineage and Lingshu lineage, and extraordinary people from these two lineages are very rare. As far as I know, Caspars officially does not have such talents. And necromancy
Master, haha, if they dare to show up, they will definitely get a pursuit from the Suzheng Bureau instead of a letter of appointment. You know, the current mainstream view of the Suzheng Bureau is that aphansia is a trick played by necromancers."
Liang touched his nose. It seemed that necromancy had a negative image no matter which world it was in. He didn't know if the so-called necromancers would be just like the skeletons in various movies and games in previous lives.
"By the way, an imperial envoy like Swift should have good bodyguards. Where are they?"
Wein raised his chin towards a door: "Inside, they are being interrogated. According to these bodyguards, Swift asked them last night to only patrol other floors and not go to the third floor."
"Why?"
"Because he brought a pretty maid into the bedroom in the middle of the night." Wein smiled, "Forcing a maid is one of the three favorite sports of nobles, along with beating servants and incest."
"...It's all physical work."
Wei Yin took out the communication terminal and opened the database. After a while of operations, he retrieved the personal file of the Imperial Envoy from the database of the Solemnity Bureau:
"Furthermore, Wilson Swift was not a big shot in King's Landing originally. Swift was able to be the minister of envoy for this visit only because his father currently has an official position on the regent's council."
"Wilson's family has produced many politicians, but he did not enter politics at the beginning. After all, King's Landing is full of big people, and the Swift family is not a famous family. Wilson planned to gild himself before officially entering politics, and
The best way to get gold-plated is to join the army and get a medal of merit. According to the data, Wilson served in the 12th Squadron of the 6th Pioneer Battalion of the 37th Combat Division of the Second Army."
Liang raised his hand: "Stop, stop, stop, it's such a long list, something like 37 or 12, I can't remember it at all!"
"There is no need to remember, just know that the 37th Combat Division was the mediation force sent by the emperor during the dispute in the Eastern Exile 17 years ago."
Liang took a breath: "Hiss... another dispute in the Eastern Exile? Was the Imperial Envoy himself involved?"
"Yes, looking at it this way, it seems that the murderer has more connections with the imperial envoy. Otherwise, it would be difficult to tell the relationship between a magic soldier and an imperial envoy."
"Furthermore, since the imperial envoy had a military career, it is not difficult to explain why he has the habit of wearing dog tags - even if soldiers retire, they like to maintain this tradition and regard it as an honor.
I don’t even take it off when sleeping.”
Vin clicked on a few photos, and Leon looked at them. In these photos, Wilson Swift had an identity tag hung on a chain around his neck.
The identity card is a steel card half the size of a palm, and when worn on a chain, it looks a bit like the "dog tags" in America's army in the previous life.
"Think about it again, what is missing from the body of the imperial envoy we inspected?"
Leon recalled the horrific charred corpse: "...It seems that the identity tag is not on him."
The flames that burned the imperial envoy to death should not be able to burn the iron plate. In other words...
"Someone, most likely the murderer, took away Swift's identity card!" Leon looked at Wein, "This move should have some special meaning, right?"
"For soldiers, recycling other people's identity tags means either the friend collects the body for the comrade, or the enemy takes it back to prove their military exploits and use it as a collection."
Considering that the murderer would not burn his former comrades alive, Liang guessed: "Is it possible that the murderer's army fought with the Imperial Envoy's side and formed a rift that the murderer could not let go of even after 17 years...
…and specifically killed the imperial envoy during his visit to Kaspers?”
