"And I also found out that this woman may have a deep relationship with the heir of the Ferguson family, Connor Ferguson, whom you asked me to investigate last time. Marguerite Rodriguez has been collecting large amounts of alchemy materials in the past, and the destination of these materials is very likely to be this Connor Ferguson!"
Edward paused for a moment, but when he was about to continue, Reyes, who had been quietly listening to him, suddenly interrupted him. "Edward, after saying so much, are you trying to tell me that old Victor's death has something to do with Connor Ferguson?"
After hearing Reyes's question, Edward was a little hesitant, but he still nodded and said, "Although I don't have any evidence to prove it, I think so. I know Marguerite Rodriguez's strength, and I have met with Steward Victor a few times in Loen, so I have a general understanding of his strength!"
"Marguerite Rodriguez is not weak among the advanced Apprentices, but in a one-on-one situation, she is definitely no match for Steward Victor. She might not even be able to protect herself, so if she killed Steward Victor, then there must be someone helping her! And Connor Ferguson is my main suspect. I suspect that the reason why my previous operations against Marguerite Rodriguez failed was because of Connor Ferguson! "
Edward obviously didn't know that Connor Ferguson was the student of this Secret Society professor, so when he mentioned the name "Connor Ferguson", Edward didn't hide the murderous intent in his heart and expressed his hatred for Connor in front of Reyes.
Reyes didn't say anything about Edward's murderous intent towards Connor, but perhaps because he knew from Edward that Marguerite and Connor had a close relationship, Reyes seemed to be a little interested in Marguerite. He continued to ask Edward, "Edward, why do you think this Marguerite Rodriguez is the one who killed old Victor?"
"Marguerite has a motive to kill Steward Victor! Marguerite is an orphan who grew up in the Church's convent. In the convent, Marguerite has a very close sister, Irene, who was once arranged to be an undercover agent in the Secret Society. "
"However, Irene was only undercover for a few days before she was caught by Steward Victor. Steward Victor found someone to gang rape Irene and killed her many times. He also threw Irene's body at the entrance of Carvalho Church. Marguerite was deeply affected and has been trying hard to find Irene's murderer. Not long ago, Marguerite received a top-secret letter from the Church and found out that Steward Victor was the one who killed Irene! Therefore, I have reason to suspect that Marguerite killed old Victor to avenge her good sister, Irene! "
Edward told Reyes about the situation he had investigated through his connections in the Church over the past few days. After Edward found out about this old superstition from Marguerite's investigation, he was really sure that Marguerite was the one who killed old Victor.
After all, the person who could kill old Victor definitely knew old Victor's identity and that he had the backing of a Professor from the Secret Society. To dare kill old Victor despite knowing this and humiliate him after killing him, it was obvious that the murderer had a huge grudge against old Victor. And Marguerite was undoubtedly very suitable for this!
After explaining Marguerite's motive for killing old Victor, Edward continued to explain to Reyes on the screen. "I'm certain that Marguerite is the murderer of Steward Victor. Apart from having a motive to kill Steward Victor, there's another important point. Ever since Steward Victor died, Marguerite Rodriguez hasn't appeared in Loen or the surrounding areas. I've arranged for many subordinates to search for her, but there's still no news at all!" At this point, Edward couldn't hold it in any longer, and an awkward expression appeared on his face.
As the bishop of the Church of the Storm in Loen, Edward controlled tens of thousands of Church of the Storm priests, arbitrators, nuns, and other church staff. In addition, there were millions of Church of the Storm believers in Loen. There was no doubt that the current Edward was one of the most powerful people in Loen. With such great power, it was clearly a failure to dig out Marguerite!
"Connor Ferguson, how's the investigation I asked you to do? Is he still in Loen? " After listening to Edward's introduction, Reyes pondered for a moment before asking, "What's the matter?
"Connor Ferguson? Ever since I received your instructions, Professor, I've been investigating this person. I have to say, this fallen noble really hid himself well. It took me a lot of effort to dig him out! "Edward said with some emotion.
"According to the information I have now, this Connor Ferguson is an advanced Apprentice Adept who is very accomplished in alchemy. He will occasionally sell alchemy items in Loen's underground black markets in exchange for training resources. Moreover, he has a very close relationship with Marguerite Rodriguez. I think there's reason to believe that Connor and Marguerite Rodriguez have cooperated a lot in the past. The reason why Marguerite has been using her channels to collect alchemy materials is most likely to provide them to Connor Ferguson!"
"In addition, under our in-depth investigation, we found that some of the unsolved murders and explosions in Loen over the past few years are actually inextricably linked to Connor Ferguson. However, this Connor Ferguson handled it very cleanly. At that time, the arbitrators who handled the case didn't find any traces of him."
"Yesterday, I personally went to Connor Ferguson's abode in Loen. I took a look at his apartment at No. 16 Rand Street. In that apartment, I found some very clever alchemy mechanisms. In addition, my subordinates also found two hidden residences of Connor Ferguson in Loen. However, we didn't find anything of value in those places!" At this point, Edward's aged face showed a little helplessness.
