"Independent agent, on mission. I need to look at the body of the dead the night before yesterday. "
Russell and Kellas did not take much time to rely on the sliding rope to successfully reach the purple outpost where Kelly''s body was parked. The red haired mage showed his school badge with ease and familiarity, which was also his identity certificate.
As a spy, he is not only lack of systematic work, but also given a certain degree of freedom to get help at various outposts.
"Russell? I didn''t expect you to be interested in this case. " Master Miyi, who guarded the post, looked familiar with the red hair. He greeted the comer, and then his eyes fell on the cat goblin.
"This is the helper I summoned through magic. He has a keen sense of smell and excellent perception. I want to rely on him for clues. "
It''s always hard for a cat in boots to explain. Especially if you tell the truth, Kellas is likely to be banned because of external identity problems.
After all, it''s impossible to be summoned here for all kinds of magic, but it''s impossible to be called here.
"Well, good luck. You are the third spy I received today. Seven people came yesterday. Plus you, there are just ten now. A case can attract the attention of ten spies. Oh, I''m afraid the teacher didn''t expect it. But I have to remind you that the people in front didn''t see anything from the body. Maybe they saw it but didn''t say it clearly. You''re more familiar with this than I am. "
The mage who led the way explained to Russell as he walked. Spies can be understood as free investigators. They belong to the law enforcement system of Miyi sect, but they are not a force in the conventional establishment.
The reason why this position appears is that many cases related to magic need detailed and long-term follow-up, and it is redundant to set up a person in charge position for them alone. Fortunately, some spies traveling on the edge of the establishment are directly set up for them to deal with.
But that said, the secret agent''s investment in the case is probably only one case and one person follows up. If it is more complex, there may be two partners. Ten cases of interest to the secret agent have not appeared for a long time.
This also triggered the last question that the mage said, hiding clues.
When multiple or more spies follow up a case, the final reward or credit will only focus on the cracker and a few or two people who provide extremely important information. Although other spies will also be rewarded, it will be very insignificant compared with their energy. In order to win the first prize, there is competition between spies.
Concealing clues that only you know, or even deliberately erasing them, so that those who follow up afterwards can not obtain intelligence, are all tricks often used in competition. The signal it sends is that there is no need for more people to take credit for this case.
"I wasn''t interested in this case either. You know, I''m not in a hurry for promotion. It''s just that the teacher''s death may be related to another case at hand. I need to confirm it. "
Russell spoke out his intention without being arrogant. He didn''t lie. Mr. Kelly''s death was indeed related to them, but it''s hard to judge whether this connection needs to be executed by a spy who received the custody instruction.
"I don''t care. Anyway, you spies are responsible for yourself. What you want to do is free. I just ask you not to hurt this body and let him return to nature safely tomorrow. Well, if you really find something and are willing to share it with me, I can. Although I am no longer in the field, I still have some previous experience, which may help you. "
"Stop hurting the body? What''s the meaning of this? I heard that the deceased was decapitated and his body was relatively intact, which can quickly confirm his identity in the case of loss of head. " Russell asked with some concern.
"You can see for yourself." The mage who led the way didn''t say much, but opened the door of the morgue in front and took them to a stone chamber.
The interior of the stone chamber is much colder than the outside. Russell has a strong impulse to sneeze, but the current field merger is inappropriate, so he can only try his best to resist it. However, Kalas didn''t show anything unusual. Maybe for the cat goblin who was already covered with hair, such a temperature change was not enough to make him feel unacceptable.
As for why carras has remained silent so far, this is what they agreed before. If the cat goblins speak freely, things may become complicated. Therefore, in order to avoid complications, Russell begged carras to remain silent for the time being, and the latter unexpectedly agreed.
The stone chamber is similar to that kind of underground tomb. Arched gaps have been excavated on three stone walls, and the body is placed in these gaps. On the outside of the gap, it is covered by a curtain reinforced by magic to slow down the possible accelerated decay caused by the contact between the inside and the outside air.
The master of the outpost came to the parking space No. 2 on the curtain and said the spell silently. Then the curtain rolled up and shrunk into a cloth barrel.
"You can take the body out and put it on the table over there, but remember not to make more damage. I''ll wait for you outside the door and call me when I want to put him back. "
With that, the mage left the stone chamber. Russell and Kairas looked at each other, and then the spy started first, put on the gloves on the wall, carefully dragged the headless body out, and put it on the stone platform with the help of the cat goblin.
The corpse looks really bad, not rotten. Due to the low temperature, its rotten condition is not serious. The real reason for its discomfort is a lot of acquired damage.
"Is that how you treat the bodies of your colleagues? I don''t see any respect for him. " Said keiras, standing on the stone table with a frown.
It''s no wonder he criticized so much. Kelly''s body was covered with a large number of cutting and anatomical marks, from the broken neck to the ankle. These cutting marks made the naked dead body look like it was tortured and tortured by some cruel monster.
This explains why the guard is unwilling to face the body again. Just looking at its tragedy is enough to make people''s back cool and throat tight.
"Anatomy is the most intuitive way to understand the cause of death. There is nothing wrong with them doing so. But I have to say, this is really going too far. "
Russell swallowed his mouth before he could speak. Of course, he had studied anatomy, but the city of ten thousand methods did not have sufficient resources for every student to dissect human corpses.
Although he had to deal with bodies after being a spy, they were rarely so miserable.
"Yes, the most intuitive way. The problem is that now we can only intuitively see a pile of rotten human meat. I don''t mind if you tell me now that he died of random knife. Can you really find a clue? "
"I don''t know. Try it."
