When Lux calls Chai Anping like this, it means that the patience of the little princess of the Crown Guard family has been completely worn out: "Where is today's investigation plan?!"
"Well, your highness said that I am an inspector of the Inspection Department, but I also have other professions."
Chai Anping righteously refused. Three days had passed since he went to Alfred's gym to investigate. During this period, he took Lux to visit the place where the second case occurred and the tavern where the drunkard went before his death.
Unfortunately, as Chai Anping expected, the second case revealed the appearance of a crime of passion, so Chai Anping naturally gained nothing...except for the unexpected discovery that the deceased was in the same training gym as him.
Of course, the deceased's family did not practice martial arts, and he only did some daily fitness, so he had no contact with Chai Anping.
There were many reasons why the investigation had to be interrupted. The most important one was that Chai Anping had almost used all three of his tools. Due to Demacia's backward technological level, Chai Anping had to regret that he could not catch the prisoner for the time being.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Simmons came to visit him quietly last night... He was trying to avoid the investigation of Amda Laurent.
As a man who reported the crime and knew about Amuda's upcoming appointment as deputy minister, and who had also watched the finals of Swordsman of Suffering and Knight of the Sun, Chai Anping himself wanted to arrest him.
"Then what are you going to do today?"
Lux sat back weakly, her cute little head resting on the experimental table, and her thin chin was wrinkled.
Today she is wearing a neat detective uniform, with a hat that Chai Anping put on her head when she arrived. She looks very detective. Unfortunately, in Chai Anping's opinion, this young lady has no qualifications for detective work.
nothing.
"Today I decided to try refining a healing potion."
The letter sent by the Illuminator had already stated to him the quantity of healing potions needed and the start time of the event. Also arriving was an invitation from Sir William to the official event.
This is the advantage of living in the capital. In addition to postmen, the streets are also full of servants who deliver letters to wealthy families, so even if there is no Internet for Chai Anping to surf, news spreads very quickly.
Healing potion is an urgent need. Chai Anping cannot use his magic power to copy the potion to help him recover on any occasion. He also needs the cover of the potion.
Healing potions are similar to blood bottles in the game. They can basically restore health points without any difference. Of course, broken limbs cannot be reconnected.
Potions with different effects are also divided into about nine levels, which are consistent with the potion levels. However, according to the book, no one can refine this vitality potion beyond level six...
No formula, no alchemy materials!
This is also another major doubt and research topic in today's alchemical world.
"boring……"
Lux wasn't interested at all when she heard this, as she was already used to healing potions.
Because of her, the little fat Prosesi has not dared to come to the laboratory recently, for fear of disturbing Chai Anping's good things. Chai Anping couldn't help but twitching his mouth when he saw this, you are bored, go home!
Look at how many people don’t dare to read and study!
Prothesi's learning progress is quite fast. He has almost finished reading the tome he gave him. Then he will be able to teach him some simple alchemy and complete his task.
"Na, na na na~"
"I heard that there are some duels between outsiders at the training ground in Nancheng today. Let's go watch them together!"
"Didn't His Highness always ask Kashina to be with you for this kind of thing?"
"...Kashina has been guarding her brother during meals and sleep these past few days, and has never left her. I can't call her."
"ha--"
This is something that Wujie Brother Control can do. Judging from the murderer's actions, Kanos's survival is indeed a loophole. Look at the suffering swordsman... It should be said that this kid is really blessed with great fortune!
"going or not?!"
"Well, what's so interesting about a duel..." It's not that Chai Anping doesn't want to watch it, it's just that most of these duels are more gimmick than strength, and there's really nothing interesting to watch. He had a flash of inspiration:
"How about your Highness reading a book? I just borrowed it from the library these days."
He rummaged through his backpack for a while, found a storybook and handed it over.
""Release the Miko" is so good."
"Miko?"
Lux's expression froze slightly, then she raised her head and took the book with a guilty conscience.
"I heard that it was a book written by a certain Demacian compatriot who came back after traveling to the mainland."
"Well, then I'll just try to take a look."
Lux has never read this kind of story-telling novel, after all, her tutor doesn't allow it.
Chai Anping grinned, rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare the ingredients for the healing potion.
Today he will refine a lot of first-level and second-level potions. Although he has not tried it, it should not be difficult.
The laboratory quickly returned to calm, leaving only the sound of reagents bubbling in the flames.
…
…
At night.
The wooden door of Charles' office was violently opened: "Director! Another murder has occurred!"
No one needed to explain what the case was. Charles stood up and grabbed the coat hanging behind the chair: "Let's talk on the way!"
South of the city, along the Baker River.
Two bloody corpses were sitting on their knees under a remote willow tree. The blood soaked half a meter around them. The chests of the corpses were close to each other. Two long swords with different shapes were pierced up and down from their hearts.
It looks like a capital "X".
"According to the blood test at the scene, the time interval was less than half an hour, and the identities of the two deceased have been confirmed." The assistant quickly reported the situation: "The two foreigners arrived in the capital two days ago with the purpose of participating in the Glory Competition.
.”
"Outlander?!"
Charles' voice suddenly became louder in the carriage.
It's impossible for this guy to talk about the vendetta anymore, right?
"According to people nearby, these two people participated in a duel in the south of the city today. The two were opponents, and the game was indeterminate... That's not the point, Director."
The assistant opened the hastily written report and carefully considered the words: "This time the murderer left a message on the willow tree!"
The carriage quickly rushed to the south of the city. With the help of a kerosene lamp, Charles looked at the bloody words on the willow bark with a cold expression.
The words in blood appear to have been written with a sharp weapon stained with blood. There are sixteen words in total:
"The fate of hypocrites is death, I will bring glory!"
"madman!"
Charles cursed in a low voice and clenched his fists tightly, wanting to smash the tree trunk with one punch.
When the wind blows, the strong smell of blood can spread for tens of meters, and the catkins rustle, adding a bit of a cold atmosphere to the scene.
