Shaking the World

Chapter 421 Traces

A few seconds later, Wen'er Lisa stretched her sword eyebrows, but she was still firm in her judgment.

"Marty, measure the size of this footprint and collect data."

Mattie on the side responded, took out the tool and started measuring.

Thompson stood quietly for a while without saying anything. After all, this was his job, so it was not easy to disturb him. After Mattie finished measuring and took notes, he continued to lead them forward.

After passing the iron gate is the storage room, which is where the real warehouse is.

But at this moment, the doors of those storage rooms were almost all broken open violently, and it could be vaguely seen that the interior was already messy.

"Which room was that elf in?" Wen Erlisa asked.

"Oh, the elf is in the innermost room, please follow me, my lord."

The four of them went directly to the innermost door. It can be said that the door of this storage room was the most completely damaged, even the door frame was almost removed.

The door was open, and inside was an empty cage.

When they got closer, the four of them saw that the cage was still covered with hay, and there were still a few pieces of metal lying on the ground beside it.

The iron door of the cage was open, and the chain that had been torn off by violence was thrown beside the door.

Wen Erlisa walked into the cage, came to the haystack, knelt down and picked up a half-ring metal with a delicate chain, and asked Thompson who followed: "What is this?"

"My lord, these are the seals and shackles specially customized for the elf for the sake of safety. It seems that they were cut off by that person." Thompson said.

Wen Erlisa nodded, picked up the other three fragments, and put them together on the ground to form a complete set of sealed shackles.

The shackles were indeed very delicately made, like a pair of bracelets on chains.

There are five breaks in the shackles, one for the chain, and two for each ring.

After the shackles were put together, Lisa found that the fractures of the shackles could not be completely overlapped, and there was still a gap in the middle, but the gap was so small that it would not be noticeable if you didn't pay attention.

At first Wen Erlisa thought it was caused by the uneven incision, but she changed her mind after careful observation.

She picked up the two shackles and put them in front of her eyes, and then slowly joined the broken parts together.

From then on, when the shackles were placed horizontally in the air, those few gaps became extremely obvious.

Wen Erlisa frowned, what kind of sharp weapon or tool was used to create such an effect?

The shackles themselves and the metal at the fracture did not show obvious deformation, indicating that it was not broken by a heavy sharp tool. If so, she would not be so curious, and its incision is not a tool saw like a wood saw broken.

There are indeed traces of cutting back and forth on the gap of the shackles. It can be seen that the cutting technique is very neat. The incisions are deeper than each other, and there are no traces of repeated grinding. This shows that the cutting tools are extremely sharp and very small, but they are not weapons like swords. .

Wen Erlisa stared at the shackles tightly, enlarged it in her mind, and continuously simulated various weapons, and finally found that only the hook and sickle could produce such an effect.

A small, sharp weapon like a hooked sickle, coupled with a certain amount of speed and accuracy, can indeed create this effect to a certain extent, but it is extremely difficult in practice because the shackles are so small.

After careful consideration, Wen Erlisa handed the shackle fragments to Mattie and asked her to keep them away.

"Did that person just kidnap the elf? Has he been to other rooms?" Wen Erlisa looked at Thompson.

Thompson pretended to ponder for a while and said: "From the time point of view, he should not have entered the second door, and his 'method' to open the door is obviously different from others."

Of course Thompson can be sure that the mysterious person has only entered this room, because he arranged the others by himself, but he can't reveal too many flaws in his wording, so an ambiguous answer is necessary.

As for Wen Erlisa, all her thoughts were on the masked boy, and she didn't go into Thompson's hasty arrangement and flawed rhetoric at all. For her, investigating the boy was the most important thing, and the rest was just Incidentally.

Of course, since it is a case, it needs to be investigated, and the boy and these thieves appeared at almost the same time, so whether there is any connection between the boy and these thieves, maybe we can get the information from the organization of these thieves. There are still many doubts about the boy's clues and the case, such as why did the boy snatch the elf girl?

Premeditated or just a coincidence, how did he know which room the girl was locked in, whether he was filming the insider or his insider should provide him with information and so on.

What happened was too coincidental, as if it was connected by something. Wen Erlisa, who has many years of experience in handling cases, also smelled the smell of conspiracy.

"The man in the red cloak may be the key person in this case. If you have any clues, please provide us with all of them. Also, your warehouse is so easily infiltrated by thieves. It is necessary to check whether there are traitors among you. I will ask my subordinates to transport all those corpses away later, and please give me a list of the lost items in your bank."

Thompson hurriedly took out a piece of white paper, on which there were densely recorded things, many of which were crossed out with red ink.

"My lord reminded me that I will definitely conduct a thorough investigation within the guild to find that damned insider!" Thompson handed the paper to Wen Erlisa and said, "Look, this is all the auction items in the guild. , the ones ticked off in red are all the items stolen this time."

Wen Erlisa took the list and briefly glanced at it, then handed it to Mattie.

The investigation of the masked boy came to an end at this point, and the next step was the investigation of the robbers that Thompson said. The opponent's organization, at most, is just a waste of time.

Wener Lisa, who returned to the passageway, glanced around, and her keen insight made her immediately discover something wrong.

"Where did those thieves come from? Why are there corpses only in the underground warehouse, but not above?"

Thompson immediately explained: "The robbers all escaped from the sewer after they succeeded. The entrance to the sewer is in the other three rooms."

"Take me to see."

About half an hour later, a group of people came out of the auction house. Wen Erlisa told Marty: "You take someone to carry the corpses of those thieves back to the guard, remember to prevent someone from robbing the corpses, and start investigating the red-clothed man from tomorrow." All the whereabouts of the Cloaked Man in Naluo City."

"Yes, sir!"

ps: It was another [-]-hour shift, and I did two rounds of nucleic acid. It rained heavily today, and I got soaked...
