For other people, it is normal for a woman to appear in a man's room in a place like the Wanguo Hotel. After all, this is a place where local communicators often come and go.
But for Leo, it’s a bit unusual for a woman to appear in Pasaka Goran’s room, because Pasaka Goulan is a beast soul warrior, according to what he knows, unless the beast soul warrior is in a specific Time, otherwise it is impossible to have an impulse to any opposite sex, so this woman who left shoe marks is definitely not a communicative flower.
Leo squatted down, stretched his hands and wiped the parts of the woman’s footprints that were not contaminated with other footprints, rubbed them carefully under the nose, and at the same time raised the perception of the olfactory organs to the extreme. A large amount of dust information contaminated by the footprints was in the sense of smell It is quickly analyzed under the resolution of the resolution, and is included in the brain memory.
After obtaining the desired information, Leo immediately restored the olfactory organs to normal, and then stubbornly blew his nose to remove the various odors he had just smelled.
Although Leo has been able to control and enhance various sensing organs of his body for a long time, he has rarely used this ability. Most of the time, he will keep it in the state of a normal person because of the various discomforts caused by super-perceptual organs. Even people like him who have experienced countless harsh environments will feel strong discomfort.
Just like just now, just in a short period of time, the perception of the olfactory organs has been raised to the extreme. There are thousands of odors flowing into his nose, except for the odors he wants related to clues. Most of the odors are useless environmental odors, and most of these environmental odors are extremely unpleasant. After amplification, they are almost as toxic as gas bombs to drive a normal person crazy.
At this moment, although Leo could not smell the strong smell, the discomfort did not completely disappear. Fortunately, it would not affect his normal behavior.
After finding the clues he wanted, Leo left the hotel where the murder was located and returned to the police headquarters from the original road. Without alarming anyone, he returned to the room where he was installed.
For the next two days, Leo stayed in the room, and his Spirit Net was always concerned about the situation in the police headquarters, and controlled the progress of the investigation of Pasaka Gurran.
Because of the completely wrong direction of the investigation, the investigation progress of the case was naturally untouched, and the Panil mission was originally irritated and frightened by the death of their deputy, and now they are even regarded as suspects by the police, making them more inward Annoyed, and this sentiment was directly brought into the negotiations with the Kingdom's mining rights, and even directly indicated that if the case is not investigated clearly, the negotiation is not necessary to continue.
The stagnation of the negotiations naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the high level of the Kingdom. For this reason, Congress also sent two members of Parliament as supervisors to the police headquarters to supervise the progress of the case. At the same time, it also strongly suppressed the dissatisfaction of the police department and transferred the special bureau to the The police headquarters came to assist in the investigation of the case, and to resolve the case in the shortest possible time.
At this time, Frank Fussen came to the police headquarters, told Leo of the news, and took Leo to the storage location of the eternal wisdom artifact.
"It actually took two days, it seems that the resistance is not small!" In the carriage, Leo looked at the constantly moving scenery outside the window, as if talking to himself, said.
"It would have taken a while, but the royal family did a lot of work in this matter." Frank Fawson explained, "The batch of potions you shot at the royal family played a great role."
Leo slightly looked at Frank Füssen unexpectedly, and the royal family would help him on the artifact of eternal wisdom. This was what he expected, but what he expected was that the royal family helped him even because Wizard potions.
Although from the perspective of Frank Fawson and Otto Wizards fighting for potions, Leo could feel that wizard potions are very precious, but now he finds that he still underestimates the value of wizard potions.
"Is the wizard's potion so valuable?" Leo asked doubtfully.
"It may not be of such great value at other times, but in this period of time, the value of wizard potions is not low." Frank Fushen explained: "I heard that the royal family found the star chasing sea charts that were left in that year, ready to send people to go Falling into the sea of stars, looking for a new land suitable for colonization, your potions can help the expedition to reduce casualties, naturally it is precious."
"Ping Xinghai?" Leo couldn't help moving when he heard the name.
Falling Star Sea is a sea area located in the middle of the three continents of Mosang, Weilun and Sigma. According to the statistics of scholars from various countries, its area is more than twice the total land area of all the three continents.
In addition, some scholars speculated that based on the falling star sea, the surrounding islands, and the shape of the three continents, the world had only one land at first. Later, because a star city fell and hit the land, the land fission , Scattered, and finally formed the current three continents and countless islands surrounding the star-falling sea.
The Starfall Sea has always been the sea most conquered by all countries that want to gain hegemony at sea, because as long as it can occupy the Starfall Sea, it is equivalent to completely mastering the sea route of the entire Weilun civilization world, unlike the Kingdom of Inge Even the maritime hegemons cannot prevent the fleets of other countries from crossing the sea.
At present, the sea route linking the three continents presents a circular ring shape. Any ship from one continent to the other two continents needs to make a roundabout to reach its destination, and because of the relationship between ocean currents and air currents, the climate of the route is also ever-changing. It’s elusive. More than 80% of the shipwrecks are caused by sudden changes in ocean currents.
During the period of the great voyage, many countries hoped to find a new route from the star-falling sea, because they found that after entering the sea of the star-falling sea, both the ocean currents and the airflow became much smoother. Even in rainy days, they could not form a storm. On the contrary, there is no threat like the continuous light rain on the land.
It's a pity that if the ship enters the star-falling sea, the ship will be inexplicably disorientated. If you are lucky, you will be able to leave the star-falling sea for a few days, and the bad luck will stay in the star-falling sea.
"How can there be charts in the star-falling sea?" Leo asked curiously.
Frank Fussen also had no scruples and said, "Of course there is, the gift of Poseidon."
Leo puzzled: "Why have there been charts before..."
"Because even charts are useless." Frank Fusson explained: "After entering the star-falling sea, the wind and waves will become smaller and smaller. At the back, the wind and waves will completely disappear, and there will be no ocean currents, just like the dead water. Before All are sailing ships. Entering that sea area is equivalent to entering the dead ground. Now that you have a steam ship, the biggest threat to that sea area is gone. As long as you find the correct route with the chart, the kingdom can control the entire sea of falling stars. Really control the world’s sea routes."
Leo listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask: "You tell me the development plan of the whole country like this, is there no problem?"
"Will you say it?" Frank Fussen asked.
Leo did not answer, and there was no need to answer.
"Is it dangerous to fall into the sea of stars?" Leo asked again.
"It's not clear, this matter is dominated by the royal family, and even Congress can't participate, let alone a person who is about to retire." Frank Fuson shook his head, then paused, and said: " However, judging from the various materials they have collected recently, there should not be much peace there."
Leo didn’t ask any more questions. Although he was also very interested in the falling star sea, he didn’t have enough information for him to judge the situation, so now it is definitely not a good time for him to participate, at least wait for some news from Inge After the royal family revealed it, consider whether it should be blended.
The reason why Leo is also interested in the falling star sea is because he thinks the hypothesis made by those scholars that the stars fell to the ground and split the earth is correct, and whether the stars are meteorites or other things, maybe it is related to the Veja people. .
Afterwards, Leo and Frank Fusson chatted about some things about the star-falling sea, but Leo did not get more useful information from them, and the two sides also lost the interest in talking, sitting silently in the car, each thinking about their own affairs. .
However, soon Frank Fussen couldn't help but said, "We have blocked all the passages leaving Turin, and conducted strict checks on all those leaving Turin, and every major road is guarded by a special bureau. As long as the murderer did not leave that night, he would never escape."
"Hmm!" Leo groaned disapprovingly.
Frank Fussen could see that Leo was dissatisfied with the method he said, and vaguely felt Leo seemed to know some things he didn’t know, and these things might be the key to finding the murderer, but even if he could feel these, But he was not good at asking.
Therefore, he had nothing to say, saying: "You said that Pasaka Gurran is a beast soul warrior, is there any evidence? I have asked a lot of Panir missions in the past two days, and none of them Know this."
"Hmm." Leo responded casually again.
Frank Fushen frowned impatiently, and said in a solemn tone: "Is the matter you said that day really true?"
"It's true." Leo responded, and asked back: "But knowing what is the use of these, you have investigated the wrong direction from the beginning. Such a long incident may have left the Turin long ago."
Frank Fusen did not refute Leo's guess, because this is also the biggest guess in his mind these two days. If the murderer is really a beast soul warrior as Leo said, then the special bureau and police set up a special level for it becomes a joke, the murderer is likely to directly pass through the swamp forest around Dulin and escape to other The place may even have left the Kingdom of England.
Thinking of this, Frank Fusen became a bit heavy.
"Rest assured that things haven't reached a bad time." Leo suddenly said.
Hearing Leo say this, Frank Fawson was stunned and asked anxiously, "Did you find something?"
However, in response to the inquiry, Leo just smiled, and did not go on.
Seeing Leo like this, Frank Füssen is both angry and funny, but he also knows well that if he asks more, Leo can't say his findings, so he can only stop this topic.
After traveling for about ten minutes on the road, the carriage entered the commercial area on the east side of Dulin and stopped in front of a magnificent building composed of dozens of marble columns and giant rocks.
"National Bank?" After Leo got off the carriage, he looked up at the English language engraved on the eaves of the building and recited it.
Previously, Leo had speculated that the artifact might be stored in a secret place, protected by some powerful people, and only those who passed the special test could be approached by touch, but he never thought that the artifact storage point was actually the Kingdom of the Inge Kingdom. National Bank, and this is where everyone can see.
However, in addition to his surprise, he felt that this approach was very reasonable. After all, except for a few special places in the entire Kingdom of England, almost all other places were inferior to the National Bank in terms of security, not to mention Putting things in the National Bank can also protect the property in the National Bank at the same time, which is simply a double benefit.
"Some accidents!" Frank Fussen looked at Leo's expression and knew Leo's thoughts at the moment.
"Yes, it was a little unexpected." Leo nodded.
"I'm the same~EbookFREE.me~ I was also surprised when I knew that the artifact was placed here." Frank Fusin also smiled at himself and said, "However, it is safer than the headquarters of the Special Bureau. ."
Leo turned to look at Frank Füssen, without opening, but his eyes showed doubt.
"You will know when you get in." Frank Fusin smiled, without explanation, but led Leo to more than one hundred steps in front of the bank.
As soon as the two entered the bank, a few people waiting at the door greeted them. After paying a salute to Frank Füssen, they turned to look at Leodord, and then turned to look at Frank with questioning eyes. Fussen.
"Yes, he is." Frank Fussen nodded and said.
After receiving a response, a few people said nothing more, led the two into the side hall, and then entered the small garden area from the side hall. Then they turned to the two corridors and came to the small house in the center of the bank. In the garden.
In the middle of this small garden is a labyrinth built of a forest. The people walked straight into the labyrinth, followed by Frank Fussen and Leo.
After passing through the flower wall made of the third tree, the people leading in the front stopped almost at the same time, and then they reached into the bushes next to them and seemed to catch something, then pulled a few times.
After a while, I heard a very faint mechanical sound, and the flower wall not far away moved away on both sides like a movable wall, exposing a small pavilion behind the tree wall and a spiral staircase leading to the underground.
