Chapter 227: The Black Hand Hiding Behind the Incident
In the auction hall, under Lucia's words, everyone's eyes focused on Coles who was beside the Second King.
"The former director of modern magic department?"
Olga Marie looked suspiciously at Coles, "I heard that that man disappeared from the Modern Magic Department seven years ago and left the clock tower..."
Caleb was sitting on the chair, but his hands had already been stretched into his arms, and he could take out the black key to avenge the other party as long as the truth was revealed.
Beside Cowles, Gray's face was full of astonishment, only the second's expression was very flat, as if he had already known the result.
"No no... wait a moment, Mr. Liangyi, how could I be someone else?"
After being watched by everyone, Cowles quickly waved his hands, with a wry smile on his face, "This kind of joke is not funny at all."
"Are you still going to keep hiding it?"
Lucia didn't care about his sophistry, and took out a light mobile phone from her pocket, "I already got Miss Lainis's phone number from Teacher II this morning, and asked her to find it. The real Coles, now as long as I call back, I can talk to the real Coles immediately, so, do you have any room for refutation?"
Coles paused slightly when he heard the words, and a speechless expression appeared on his face, "Really? Did you send me away in the morning just to confirm my identity?"
"Honestly, I think my disguise is perfect, I don't know where it was exposed?"
When such words were spoken, his whole demeanor changed dramatically, and a smile appeared on his face, which was completely different from the impression that Cowles gave.
"Your disguise is indeed perfect. Even Teacher II and Gray didn't find any abnormalities. It should not only be the transformation technique, but also the spirit descending technique."
Liu Xia said: "Your only flaw is the magic lock. The magic lock used in the safe in the director's office of the modern magic department was made by you, right?"
"The safe uses two kinds of locks, a magic lock and a physical lock. The physical lock is fine, but if you want to crack the magic lock and get the holy relic of Teacher II, you are the only one besides Teacher II. maker."
The Second King's office in the Modern Magic Teaching Building was the one Hatteres had used seven years ago.
And the magic lock used on the safe in that office was made by Hateres himself, and he was the only one who wanted to open the magic lock, except for II himself, who matched the wavelength of the lock.
"So that's the case, it really was exposed there."
The counterfeit Coles blinked with a smile, once, twice, three times... When he blinked for the fifth time, a puff of black smoke suddenly gushed out from his body, and then the freckled boy disappeared .
It was replaced by a stranger. He was tall and tall, with long fiery red hair, fair skin like snow, and even the clothes on his body had turned into a sea blue suit. He was quite eye-catching at first glance. .
His age seems to be between his twenties and forties, but the strange thing is that none of the people present can accurately judge his age. He feels that he is suitable for twenty, and forty is also suitable. It should be a trait of his own.
There was a gentle and calm smile on his face, "Oh, I thought that as long as I pretended to be Corles who entered El Mello's classroom after you, it would be impossible for even a sub-servant to see through it. I didn't expect you If we actually found the source, then my disguise would be meaningless."
When Lucia was studying in El Mello's classroom, Coles hadn't entered the Clock Tower, so Lucia didn't recognize him when she met them at the abandoned station outside London.
If Lucia had known Coles a long time ago, she wouldn't have needed to spend so much effort, just relying on her breath would be enough to determine whether Coles was himself, and the case would have been solved long ago.
"If I had known that you were also on the train, I would not have disguised myself as Coles, but would have become someone else. What a mistake."
An interested smile appeared on his face, "And then? Did you find out anything else? After all, you are the emperor's disciple, and you are an unprecedented sub-servant. I am also very interested in you. If I would be glad if you could leave with me."
"Let's wait until night to talk about the dream."
Lucia paused, and after sorting out her words, she continued to explain, "The cause of the incident can be traced back to the Fourth Holy Grail War held in the Far East ten years ago. Although the magic ceremony was just a joke in the clock tower before That's all, but because of the death of the former monarch El-Melloi, some magicians in the clock tower changed their attitudes."
"Especially the monarch of the Astronomy Department, the monarch Animsfia, was the first to become interested in the Holy Grail War, so, seven years ago, he entrusted someone to investigate the magic ceremony."
Lucia looked at the red-haired Hatteres, and looked straight at him, "If my guess is correct, the person he entrusted was you, Hatteres?"
"Indeed." Hateres smiled and nodded sincerely.
"However, the Holy Grail War is still a big ceremony, and it is still in the Far East. It is not that simple to conduct on-the-spot investigations. At that time, you thought of other methods."
Lucia stretched out her hand and pointed to her own eyes, "You are trying to conduct ritual analysis of the Holy Grail War through a large number of magic eyes and the intelligence analysis ability of the magic eyes."
"That's why all the victims of the case seven years ago were magic eye holders. If so many magic eyes are collected, even the Holy Grail War can be investigated clearly."
Regardless of whether it is the past vision or the future vision, as long as you can get it, you can get a lot of information unconditionally. On this point, Lucia undoubtedly has a say. It is precisely because of this that he thought of using the magic eye to investigate the Holy Grail War. a little.
"Wait a minute, the magic eye is also an organ. After the owner dies, without the blessing of vitality, it cannot provide magic power. The magic eye should not be able to exert its effect."
Kagino Hishiri sat on the seat and asked aloud.
"This is indeed a dead end, but who said that those whose heads were beheaded all died?"
Lucia glanced at her, "The reason why the magic eye was taken away by beheading is just to give you the illusion that 'these people are all dead', but according to my guess, those victims were not actually He died immediately, but was kept alive by people using special technology, and was using the magic eye."
Didn't the news broadcast on TV say that modern times have invented technology that allows the monkey's head to live alone? For a magician, it is not impossible for the head that has lost its body to live alone.
