In Rock Town, the still lazy young mercenary Lin Xiao yawned and lay under the big tree.
After defeating Laux, the count fulfilled his agreement and gave the townspeople three days, and the matter came to an end.
But troublesome things came one after another. After everyone returned, they found a dilapidated iron box sitting quietly outside the door of the warehouse in Rock Town. After receiving the notification, Mayor Sal hurried over and discovered that there was something inside.
It was a magic crystal, and it was the same one that had been stolen in the town, but part of it was missing. Even so, it was enough to surprise Sal. Under his arrangement, the townspeople quickly started working.
Because there were too many important things, Lin Xiao and Artolis just received the thanks from the townspeople and then were left aside, feeling a little bit left out.
But forget it, you have to be low-key, and Lin Xiao just hates dealing with troublesome things. Because Artolis needs to recuperate, he stayed in Rock Town for the past two days.
The past two days have been really peaceful. I have been looking forward to it for a long time but I haven't seen the minions sent by King Bei. I am a little disappointed. By the way, any human being would hate the enemies lurking in the dark, so he wanted to confront me head-on.
"Mr. Lin Xiao, the mayor has something to do with you and wants you to go back to his home to discuss it." The voice of a middle-aged town citizen with a kind face interrupted Lin Xiao's thoughts.
"Okay, you go ahead and help me tell the mayor that I will come right away."
Artolis was of course also present at the mayor's house. He was a wounded soldier who was always being fed and fed at the mayor's house.
The mayor complained about the reason for calling Lin Xiao over, but he had guessed the reason early on.
After helping Rock Town defeat Laux, the Rock Town crisis mission was completed, and the so-called favorability of the citizens of Rock Town was 6o.
Therefore, the townspeople who called him just now also respected his expression, and after completing this task, they automatically triggered the crisis task in Rock Town: to find the truth behind the theft of the magic crystal in Rock Town. The mission was successful.
Reward the townspeople of Rock Town with 4o good feelings.
After listening to the mayor's complaint, it turned out that it was indeed related to the mission.
It's a pity that the favorability points are rewarded, which is really a bit baffling.
"Mayor, do you need us to find the stolen magic crystal for you?" Artolis is almost fine after two days of rest, but he seems a little lack of energy.
"Yes, magic crystal is very important to us. The magic crystal in Rock Town is used to make magic dolls. We have spent a lot of money from everyone in the town to buy the magic crystal.
But for some reason, the crystals in the warehouse were stolen. Later, I don’t know why most of the crystals were returned after they were stolen. Although we have replaced the magic crystals now, the prisoner has not yet.
Found it, actually I..." Sal paused and said with a sad tone: "As the mayor, I really neglected my duty..."
Looking at the mayor's bitter expression, Lin Xiao thought about it and came up with his own speculation. After all, he had been taken care of by the mayor these days.
"Mr. Mayor, I can still understand how you feel. In fact, the crystal has been lost and returned. I guess the thief must be someone from the town."
"This is impossible. No one in the town would do such a thing." Sal's face changed after hearing this. He was obviously not confident in the second half of the sentence. Perhaps it was because the only outsiders in the town were Lin Xiao and Atuo.
Because of the two Leis, it seems that the lost magic crystal was made by people in the town.
However, Artolis did not notice it, but echoed: "The mayor is right, everyone is very nervous about this incident, and the magic crystal is very important to everyone, there is absolutely no reason to do such a thing.
"
Lin Xiao had no choice but to explain: "It is precisely because the magic crystal is important to everyone that the prisoner returned the magic crystal. I am afraid that the prisoner was just greedy for a moment, but he did not expect that it would lead to subsequent events."
I have actually thought about Lin Xiaoge's speculation, but I don't want everyone in the town to fall into mutual suspicion. That will only make things more messy. But who are the prisoners in the town with so many people? "Sal.
"It depends on what clues you have, mayor." Lin Xiao.
"Clue? There seems to be no clue, because the magic crystal seems to have disappeared out of thin air, from the closed warehouse." Sal thought for a while and said in frustration.
"Mayor Sal, tell us what happened on the day of the theft." Artolis asked.
"Let me think about it."
Sal: The door to the warehouse was closed tightly that day, and there was no sign of it being opened. As soon as the four of us entered, we saw a wooden board standing in the middle, with the words "I accept the magic crystal" eye-catchingly.
"The four of us immediately rushed over and checked the box containing the magic crystal, but saw that the magic crystal in the box containing the magic crystal had disappeared and turned into stone. This is our life, and then
The four of us immediately went to call the townspeople to come over, and then this is the situation now."
This kind of secret room theft, the door that could not be opened by anyone, was opened by someone, and then he calmly took away the magic crystal and left a criminal declaration. Is he the descendant of Kidd?
Artolis: It means that the magic crystal in the closed warehouse was swapped. Doesn't the warehouse have vents or something like that?
If there are no vents, stacking things in a place like a warehouse can easily cause some things to rust and rot, so there are usually such settings, and this can be regarded as a place that can be accessed.
Thrall: There's a big vent, but there's no way to get in there.
Lin Xiao: This is a typical secret room crime. Are there other people who went in with you and the mayor?
Thrall: Well, of course the door to this warehouse is made using magic technology. Its key is divided into four pieces. I and the other three townspeople each hold one piece.
Lin Xiao: Mayor, can you recall? Do you still remember the reactions of the other three people at that time?
Four people each hold part of the key. If the mayor is excluded, then it means that one of the three people has a dislike, or more. For example, the three accomplices can easily get in by secretly replacing the mayor's key.
Sal: No, we were all very shocked, and then we went to inform everyone in the town.
Lin Xiao: Please ask the mayor to call those three people over. I want to ask them in person.
Not long after, the mayor and three townspeople came over. Luo Ge asked these three people again. The answers of these three people were almost the same as those of the mayor, and they did not get many useful clues.
Lin Xiao: Mayor, please take us to the scene to have a look.
In front of the warehouse.
I saw that the warehouse in Rock Town looked old but very sturdy. The door was reflecting light under the sunlight.
The mayor took out four keys at some point, and then magically combined them together to open the warehouse, and the three of them entered the warehouse.
Lin Xiao took a closer look at the warehouse, which was larger than expected. It was filled with a lot of things for storage, some sundries, and some weird machines, probably for making magic dolls, and walked a few more steps.
, a few scattered stones fell on the ground, perhaps the stones that were dropped last time.
There are no other doors in this warehouse except this one, which is the entrance and exit. The only thing worth noting is that there is a vent on the upper right side of the warehouse near the ceiling, but like the mayor's office, a normal adult can't get in at all.
