By the time Lin Li came out with a group of suspects, Gerian had returned from the basement. The old fellow seemed to have gained weight again. His loose mage robe was bulging. It seemed that the basement was very, very suspicious!
"There's something good. I'll tell you when we get back …" Lin Li had just walked into the living room when Gerian came over impatiently. Then, he glanced at the mages who were tied up and asked curiously, "What are they doing?"
"They're suspected of murdering Mr McGrenn."
"…" Gerian was full of admiration. What did it mean to be shameless? This was truly shameless. Arresting more than a dozen mages just because they were suspected of murder. Compared to this kid, what was investigating the basement?
Then, he realized that it was too early for him to admire him …
"By the way, Mr Evan, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with."
"What is it?" Evan asked, trembling with fear.
"As far as I know, Mr McGrenn was kidnapped to the Merlin Family by violence, so I hope that Mr Evan can hand over the people involved in the kidnapping."
"What!" Evan almost jumped up violently, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He roared in the living room, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws. "You've gone too far! This is impossible! "
As soon as Evan's voice fell, he realized that the living room had suddenly quietened down. Then, he saw Gerian narrowing his eyes, and the 30 or so Magic Shooters behind him were all rubbing their fists and rubbing their palms, their eyes filled with excitement.
Evan suddenly realized that he had said something stupid. Now, this group of bandits was eager to have an excuse to continue the investigation, and he was stupid enough to give them a chance. Wasn't this pushing himself into a pit of fire?
"Mr Evan, you refuse to cooperate?"
"No, no … But Cromwell was the one who did it. I had no idea at all. Even if I wanted to hand him over, I wouldn't know who did it …" Evan looked troubled, but he was secretly pleased with himself. At this moment, he was really impressed with his quick wit. He could actually think of pushing the blame to Cromwell in such a critical situation. They should be out of ideas now. Should he ask who had captured him? Sure, you can ask Cromwell …
"It doesn't matter. If Mr. Evan really doesn't know anything, the Guild of Magic can do it for him. We can bring all of them back and interrogate them slowly. I believe someone will spill the beans under torture."
"…"
In the end, six more High Mages were captured. When Evan called out their names one by one, he really wanted to die. In the several hundred years of the Merlin Family's history, there had never been a precedent of losing six High Mages at once, and this time, he had personally pushed them to their deaths.
"Alright, Mr. Evan, thank you for your cooperation this time." When leaving the Merlin Family, Lin Li shook hands with Evan politely.
"You're too polite, Mage Felic." Evan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he squeezed out a stiff smile. He heaved a long sigh of relief inwardly. The heavens had finally sent these bandits away.
"But there are still many doubtful points in this matter. If necessary in the future, I might need to ask the Merlin Family's cooperation. I hope Sir Evan can understand." Who would have thought that the next sentence would make Evan faint on the spot?
Evan had gone completely mad. The first time they cooperated, and it turned out to be like this. You still want to come? Does the Merlin Family still want to live?
By the time the people from the Guild of Magic left, Evan wanted to cry but could not.
…
"Hahaha!" In the reception room of the Guild of Magic, Gerian laughed arrogantly. "I've wanted to do this for 30 years, and I've finally had a good time today …"
Lin Li, who was sitting opposite him, was obviously not in high spirits. He just stared blankly at the half of the arrow in his hand.
"You're still thinking about McGrenn?" After laughing for a while, Gerian felt that Lin Li's mood was not right, so he had to put away his laughter awkwardly and patted Lin Li's shoulder with a comforting look. "Take it easy. No one can avoid birth, aging, sickness, and death. No matter how sad you are, he won't come back to life."
"I'm not sad." Lin Li shook his head and kept the arrowhead. "I just feel that it's very boring. A good person is gone just like that …"
"It's precisely because of the existence of this possibility that life seems more exciting. Who can say for sure about birth, aging, sickness, and death? Maybe it'll be your turn to follow me tomorrow … Forget it, forget it, don't mention these disappointing things. Let me show you something good! "
"What is it?" Lin Li also knew that his mood was not right, so when Gerian opened his mouth, Lin Li changed the topic.
"Suspicious evidence!" The old fellow shamelessly took out a staff from his mage robe. "Do you remember at the auction last time I told you that the staff used by Matthew was worth a million gold coins?"
"This is it?"
"That's right!" Gerian laughed like a fox that had just eaten a chicken. "Matthew, that idiot, before going to Daylight Square, he actually left the staff that never left his side at home. I saw it in the basement just now, so I conveniently …"
"Eh …" Gerian went on and on, but Lin Li did not hear a single word because he saw that when Gerian took out the staff, he happened to drop something on the ground.
It was a piece of old rag. It looked black, covered with all kinds of stains, and emitted a sour smell. Most people would throw it away as an old rag when they saw it. But in Lin Li's eyes, it was very different because he had a similar rag in his hand. The difference was that the one in his hand had been smeared with all kinds of paint by the Leviathan Gorilla.
But apart from the paint and various stains, the strange runes on the two rag were exactly the same!
Lin Li carefully picked up the rag and asked Gerian curiously, "Where did you get this from?"
"Who knows …" Gerian rolled his eyes, but he was very sympathetic in his heart. It seemed that this kid had really suffered a big blow. He was someone who didn't even think highly of the Mannes Family's treasure vault, but today he was actually holding a piece of rag as a treasure.
