In fact, there was an obvious clue, but Lu Ning did not tell it. After all, it was already a secret that only belonged to tourists.
She had read the biographies of the twelve official members before. According to the rules of the parliament, these people must come from different cultural backgrounds, so "The Myth of Karui" is actually a very directional one. However, another problem is that the Magic Emperor who came out of the Spiral Mountains near the northwest continent, the birthplace of the Karui myth, was not the three assigned to be on duty, but the oldest Liszt.
So should we expand the scope of suspicion or narrow the investigation channels? After all, almost no one here has the ability to ask which congressmen Liszt has close friendships with. And after all, given the erudition of the emperors and saints, knowing a copy of "The Myth of Karui" doesn't seem to be anything special.
Fortunately, for magical investigation methods, finding the murderer may be as difficult as the methods Lu Ning knows, but it is very simple to eliminate a person's suspicion. The magician just took out a microphone-like prop for Lu Ning to hold in his hand. After a moment, without knowing what happened, he announced that Lu Ning was not the murderer.
"Okay, I think we need to put the clues together. Mr. Stevenson, how are your memories?" After dealing with Lu Ning, the magician returned to focusing on business.
"Indeed... Dilea seems to have mentioned this, but it has something to do with the previous cases involved."
"Huh? Please tell me, I can call the file at any time."
Stevenson sat down at a table with a dejected look on his face: "That was before, Delea was accidentally involved in an incident involving an alien monk disguised as a monk. She found some clues during the pursuit, but some of them require us We worked internally to assist in the investigation. At that time...she told me about relevant things."
Lu Ning sat next to him, flipping through the newly brought "The Myth of Kari", and listening carefully to Stevenson's story.
"Their investigation had already been launched at that time. I think it is not good to touch too many things. They should focus on a little investigation. About... seven or eight days after the public day, when I talked with her, she mentioned got this.”
"What is the specific content?" the magician asked.
"Dilea said that the companions who were investigating with her unexpectedly discovered that several murders that occurred in the city had some characteristics that were very consistent with the story "Abeloa's World Tour" in the Kare mythology. This clue is A magician from the northwest discovered it. After jointly checking the previous cases, the overlap was actually about 70%. But the problem is that the Kare myth itself contains legends from various places, and the records are relatively messy. We found There is no book that sums it up clearly."
Lu Ning quickly turned to that chapter according to the table of contents.
"However, the chapter opened when Miss Delea died was not this story." Jin said, "The chapter opened in that book was "The Supreme Creation War."
"I don't know this..."
"Well, can I ask?" Lu Ning raised her hand, "You just said that the legendary records of the Karui myth are confusing. Which part is more confusing?" In the impression, the book in front of Dilea has been opened to the end. About one-third of the way in, and judging by the chapter name, it obviously shouldn't be so far back if sorted in chronological order.
"I can answer this question." The magician crossed his arms. "The myths in the Karui area are roughly divided into three parts, the past events of Tianchen, the war of creation, and the narrative of the human world. The first part is basically about gods and gods. The fantasy of their lives, the second part is similar to an epic, describing how the world today came to be, and the last part is about gods and various things that happen in the world... But you also know that many stories are not made up. time, so it’s hard to say there’s an order, or there’s no order at all.”
Lu Ning lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand. These three parts were not marked, but the catalog showed a clear sense of time.
"Abeloa's World Tour" is naturally a chapter in the third part, and it is relatively late. If Dilea was not killed while reading, then she stayed in the Creation War chapter for some reason.
As a chapter that can be cut into parts, it is a bit too long.
"What is the Creation War about?"
"I'm not sure about this. After all, all parts of the world have their own myths. If I don't study this in particular, I won't study a certain myth system." The magician shrugged.
"Then the overlapping points of the world tour also need to be found, right? Maybe we can find someone to help? I think he must be one of Dilea's friends." Lu Ning suggested.
"No problem, as long as you know the name and address, I can send someone immediately." Jin nodded immediately.

Pengshan Yuanzi had already left the library at this time - there was nothing she needed here. There was another person who left with her. Although the two went in different directions and had no connection to outsiders, in fact they had completed the most important exchange.
She stretched out her hand to pull a crystal button on her collar and asked in a low voice: "Tiangong, was there any accident before?"
"Someone died, Delea, that Paladin."
"What's the probability that she's a tourist?"
"It's very high. After all, as a military professional, if she is a local resident, her investigative ability and judgment are too high. Although we do not rule out that some people are gifted, we must also refer to the development of this world in this regard. To some extent."
"Indeed... if you use magic too much, you will rely too much on some convenient methods. So where is the murderer?"
"I think it's another tourist, Yuanzi."
"Another tourist?"
"Those who do it directly, of course, if you mean behind the scenes..."
"The person behind the scenes can almost be identified, Heinz or Liszt. It's just that neither of these two people can be dealt with by us."
"The Magic Martial Arts Emperor and the Magic Guidance Emperor are indeed more difficult to deal with than ordinary magicians. Yuanzi, do you think it is possible for them to join forces?"
"We can't rule out this possibility. Because of this, we have to start with the details. They don't care about some unexpected situations in the middle of the plan. We need to let these accidents develop out of control."
"...Yuanzi, that means turmoil in Evarang."
"There's always going to be some imperfections."
"I don't understand what you mean. You have avoided some small sacrifices through the Conferred God Platform, but are you going to make bigger sacrifices with your backhand?"
"I don't want to make it."
"...your secret?"
Pengshan laughed softly.
"I'm not worried about leaks now. You know that even in non-confrontational scenarios, tourists may still have conflicts because of their choice of camp."
"Are you in a similar situation? But since you have a choice... Hey, are you saying that Dilea's death was because a tourist chose to join the other party?"
"Yes, just like the behavior of the Magic Council this time, even if we don't take the initiative, those who join the other party will definitely make things get out of control in order to complete the task. After all, I don't think that kind of people are used to being controlled by others."
"who's that person?"
"You have to ask Fujii this question. She is a detective with spies everywhere, and I am not. My information is only inferred through the complementation of divination and Shu's necromancy, and maybe there is something provided by an insider. No more. I’m not that godly, Tiangong.”
"Nonsense, Yuanzi, you must be 100% motivated for this scene. Because of the special nature of the mission, almost all the tourists here are acquaintances. I don't want to find out that seven or eight of my friends have died as soon as I return. "
"...I remember you said the same thing in the last game. It's very similar."
"Just tell me whether you agree or not?"
"You go to Opal District now." Pengshan sighed.
"What are you going there for? Jaze is in charge of that area. Unless the Emperor personally runs over and takes action, what trouble can be caused?"
"Jaze is not one of our people."
"Of course, tourists cannot be assigned to the level of the Grand Magister. Otherwise, how can we maintain a balance?"
"I mean, I asked you to find our people."
"who?"
"Kaios, he is Jiao Mengqi, a talent specially selected by the Silver Star Society to train. He has extremely strong leadership and situation control abilities. He is also assisted by Misha, the real internal core member of the Star World Temple. Duan Yunxiu, I’m afraid there is no stronger combination among the tourists in this scene than the two of them.”
"Strong? Can you be strong enough to help us confront the Emperor's wrath if something goes wrong?"
"The Emperor dare not take action casually and will only send his subordinates... Of course, if you don't go and take a look, you won't know what these two people are doing secretly in the Opal District."
"What about identity?"
"I will send a message to Jiao when I get back, and you can visit tomorrow. I think Fujii has already talked to Lu. You can just find an 'eyesman' to pass the message to her and ask about the murderer. Michio Ichiki We should meet up with Mr. Hawkeye in the Turquoise District now, and when their investigation results come out, we can judge whether Fujii's lock is accurate."
"Don't you care about others?"
"Since you want me to use my full strength, I won't care about other people's footsteps. Tiangong, if you can't keep up..."
"I see!"
The communication on the other side was immediately cut off.
Pengshan Yuanzi smiled and stepped onto a carriage waiting on the roadside.
"Those who are good at team combat are responsible for setting up and controlling the situation, and those who are good at individual combat are responsible for infiltration and surprise attacks. However, it is not yet known how many of us intend to join the other side's camp."
The carriage raised up fine dust and quickly left the central area.
"If you want to destroy a great demon, you must burn its hair, cut off its retreat, tie its hands and feet, make it physically and mentally exhausted, and then behead it. Everything in the world is dissatisfied. This is true for good things, and bad things are also natural."

Around dusk, Shizui was connected to the Violet Library.
At this time, the temporarily formed investigation team had already known each other by name, and Lu Ning didn't know what the magician Mr. Gabel was thinking. Such people with unmatched identities and backgrounds just stayed behind. " "Assist in the investigation", Jin and Candida didn't care. Pruitt, the student who accidentally helped, also became a member of this strange investigation team.
After hearing the bad news, Jingrui was really stunned for a long time. The two had already become good friends during the previous investigation together with Dilea, but unexpectedly they were separated from each other. After coming back to his senses, the monk in uniform recited a verse in a low voice, and then raised his head to look at Gabel.
"The monk will definitely help you, but I don't know where I can help?"
"It seems that you, monk, have not yet reached the state of no anger or resentment." Candida saw the anger in Jingrui's eyes, "But you'd better calm down. If the murderer's target is not just Dilea, you may It’s the next one.”
"Thank you for informing me, but if you really reach that level, you won't be called a cultivator." Jingrui nodded slightly, "So, Ms. Dilea died of assassination?"
"Indeed. The evidence we have obtained so far shows that this is likely to be a deliberate murder. The reason is that Miss Delea has found some key clues. It's just that we don't know what she is pursuing and who the target may be. I heard that Master Jingrui is investigating with her, so he probably knows more about this," Gabel said.
"That's it. At first, one of the monk's companions was replaced by a monk who broke the rules at some time. Ms. Lilian's investigation happened to reveal his identity. The monk who broke the rules was killed by an unknown person during our pursuit. The shadow was intercepted and killed on the way, and we knew that the matter would never end there, so we managed to launch an investigation in Evarang with the idea that since we were involved, we could not stay out of the matter."
"Did you find anything?"
"Captain Chen from Qingjin District and Mr. Oris who patrolled the city helped us a lot. We found a total of three similar cases in the city. One was a murderer who liked to disguise the scene as a secret room, and the other was a murderer who would pour the victim into a There is also a murderer who is a statue, and a wandering murderer who changes his appearance and identity every time he kills someone."
"There are so many evil spirits in the Eva Gallery?" Gabel's eyebrows rose.
"Sir, they know the bottom line of Ewa Hall very well. They will never take action against students or official residents, and they don't just commit crimes in Ewa Hall... I think the council just left it to the following to handle, but the following failed to do it. ." Jin explained.
Gabel sighed and looked at Jingrui: "Master, please continue."
"We found that these three murderers also died mysteriously before they were arrested, and the manner of death looked very similar to that of the monk who broke the precepts. From this, we concluded that this must not have been the first time that the shadow did such a thing, but there were no clues , the investigation stalled for a while. Until the second grimoire disaster broke out, although the suppression was timely in various places, there were still some criminals who took the opportunity to cause trouble. We finally caught a murderer who would collect the victim's ribs, and succeeded before the shadow attack Had a conversation.”
"chat?"
"Yes, we directly stated to him that there was a murderer in Evarang who was killing the murderer, but... the result was not ideal. The only gain was that Miss Dilea used her mobility to catch him for the second time. Black Shadow’s murder scene.”
"That's it!" Lu Ning raised her head suddenly, "What did she see? No, answer first, when was that?"
