Connor shook his head when he saw George's violent reaction. He gestured for George to sit back on the sofa. Although George obeyed Connor's request and sat back on the sofa, he was still cursing Olsen for being so treacherous.
"George, the maid you bribed, can you confirm that Olsen has always been at the place where he was grounded? Did anyone go to see Olsen? "Connor frowned and asked George.
"Olsen was grounded by the old man in a manor in Fray Town, which is near Loen. Oh, right! I remember something. My mother had planted a few spies in Fray Town to monitor every movement in the manor. The latest report they gave me was that a few days ago, they saw an unusual carriage transporting ingredients to Olsen's manor. However, the maid I bribed didn't mention that no one else went to the manor … "George said with confusion.
Connor's eyes narrowed when he heard what George said. He seemed to have realized the crux of the matter. He asked George, "Think about it carefully. What's so unusual about the carriage that your mother's spies told you?"
"I think it's because the delivery time isn't right. Every morning, someone from Olsen's manor would go to Fray Town to buy the freshest ingredients of the day. However, after a carriage of ingredients was delivered in the morning, another carriage carrying ingredients would go to Olsen's manor in the afternoon. This might be because there's something wrong with the ingredients that were delivered in the morning, so another carriage was delivered. What's wrong, Connor?" George recalled with confusion.
After thinking for a while, Connor said to George seriously, "Is the timeline like this? After the carriage carrying ingredients made an extra trip in the afternoon, Olsen told the maid you bribed that he had the talent to become a wizard? And before that, there was nothing unusual about Olsen? "
Although George felt that the first possibility given by Connor was the truth, he thought about it carefully when he saw how serious Connor was. After a while, he nodded and said to Connor, "That's right. According to my mother's spies in Fray Town and the maid I bribed, it was eight days ago."
"It was eight days ago when we brought in an extra cart of ingredients. It was six days ago when Olsen told the maid I bribed that he had the talent to become a Magus. Before that, Olsen had been living like a normal person. Every day, he would just stay in the manor where he was grounded, eating, sleeping, and having fun with countless people!" At the end of his sentence, George's tone was filled with undisguised disdain.
"Before the extra carriage of ingredients was delivered to Olsen's manor, was your father, Mr. Harvey, not in Loen, right?" Connor stared at George and asked.
George thought for a while, and asked Connor curiously, "How do you know this, Connor? My old man left Loen for a business trip to Lecce before that day, and he only came back two days later! "
"George, go and investigate whether your old man went to Lecce or not!" Connor said to George in a deep voice.
"What do you mean, Connor? Don't tell me … "George was not stupid. He immediately understood what Connor meant, and his eyes widened.
"That's right! I suspect that your old man didn't go to Reiche. Instead, he went to Fray Town and sat in that carriage to test Olsen's talent! "Connor sneered and said.
George was stunned when Connor finished his words. After a while, he came back to his senses. He frowned and said to Connor, "But the maid I bribed told me that no one else went to the manor!"
"Wizards can erase a person's memory. Testing Olsen's talent is a big deal. It would be a lie if the maid you bribed didn't erase her memory after she saw it," Connor said in a low voice.
There was no doubt that George was more shocked by Connor's second guess than the first one. George leaned on the sofa in a daze, murmuring nervously, "It's impossible … It's impossible …"
Although he didn't know why, Connor's intuition told him that the second possibility was higher than the first one. However, looking at George's current state, Connor couldn't help but swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue. After carefully considering his words, he comforted George, "Everything is still a guess. What I think might not be the truth. We still need to continue uncovering the truth!"
"I'll investigate it right now …" Connor's words immediately reminded George. He immediately stood up from the sofa and walked out of the apartment.
"George, wait a minute …" Connor hurriedly stopped George when he saw how impatient George was. He needed George's help!
"Connor, do you have anything else in mind?" Hearing Connor calling him, George immediately stopped his footsteps. His eyes focused on Connor's body. He had already started to listen to Connor's words.
"Well, do you know if there are any underground banks in Loen? I have a batch of foreign currency that I want to exchange for the Empire's gold pounds! "Connor hesitated for a moment before he purposely said vaguely.
Although Connor was a little vague, George immediately understood what Connor meant. He pondered for a moment before he asked Connor in a low voice, "Where did you come from?"
Connor sighed in his heart and nodded at George. He knew that George would be able to guess it.
"Loen's East District Martais Casino. It has a strong background. I don't care where you come from. It's just that the price is a little high. It doesn't accept ordinary customers. If you go anywhere, just say that Saoul introduced you to Gondozzi. Saoul is a partner of Sanchez Bank. He won't expose you! " George didn't disappoint Connor. He immediately gave Connor the solution he wanted.
After getting a satisfactory answer from George, Connor nodded slightly and reminded George again, "When you go back, discuss it with your mother, Mrs. Christine. Your old man is very experienced. You might not be able to find out his whereabouts if you investigate him yourself."
"I understand. This is a serious matter. I won't act rashly!" George squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, then turned around and left Connor's apartment.
