Chapter 138: Locking in the Suspect

King Arthur’s Court ‘Knights of Honor’, Desmond hurried back to King Arthur’s Court and directly entered the Temple of Honor on Knights of Honor.

In the main hall, an old man with white hair and beard stood beside the throne. King Arthur sat upright on the throne, and his appearance was still unclear.

"My king, Solomon's messenger died deep in Diagon Alley, and no prophecy ball was found on his body..." Desmond bowed and then reported the progress of the investigation to King Arthur.

King Arthur did not speak. The old man Merlin beside him said: "It's the young master of the Welfare family again. Are you sure this matter has nothing to do with him?"

"Preliminary investigation can clear his suspicion. The murderer's strength is much higher than that of Count Diploch. The black magic used by the other party should be 'Devil's Flame' and magic similar to 'Void Grasp'. It is understood that the Welfare family The young master does not master these two kinds of magic, and the murderer can kill with one strike, which the boy cannot do with his strength."

"Then why did he appear near the crime scene? What's even more coincidental is that the kid had a conflict with Diplochi." Merlin said coldly.

"I learned from Caius Rozier, who was in charge of the reception, that Diploge left the duel club after the duel between Filius and Pest. Before leaving, Diploge had been staring at Qin Weijie and the others. .

My guess is that Count Diplochi had a grudge against Qin Weijie, so he followed him all the way, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. However, he was intercepted by the murderer when he passed the crime scene, and he eventually died at the crime scene. "Desmond reported it truthfully.

Merlin didn't say anything more, but looked at King Arthur on the throne. After a long time, King Arthur slowly said: "The murderer's strength is far greater than that of Solomon's Count Diploch. He can kill with one strike, and his strength is most likely to break the realm." Level, have you investigated the realm-breaking wizard who came in and out of Diagon Alley today?"

"We have already investigated. There are five realm-breaking wizards who entered and exited Diagon Alley today. They are Armando Dippet, the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Albus Dumbledore, the accompanying vice-principal. The No. 2 Blood Guard of the Welfare family, the gray-robed bachelor Tie Yanzhanlong of the Omniscient Alchemy Society, and the last teaching director of Durmstrang Magic School, Lulos Barron."

"Does the action line of these five people overlap with Diplochi's?" King Arthur asked again.

"Two professors from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had negotiated with each other in the Duel Club, and the Iron Dragon of the Omniscient Alchemy Society had a quarrel with Diploch in the Leaky Cauldron."

"There was an altercation, what was the specific situation?" Merlin interrupted Desmond's narration and asked.

"You should also know that the crazy sages of the Omniscient Alchemy Society believe that the hearts and blood cores of vampires are extremely rare alchemical materials..."

Merlin nodded: "Okay, no need to say more. I probably know what the situation is. Let's continue talking about the others."

"Durmstrang's dean of education, Rollos Barron, has a good personal relationship with Cowis Rozier. After investigation, the other party inadvertently inquired about Diploge.

The other party seemed to be very interested in Diploch's purpose of sending a mission to England, but Coius Rozier didn't know about it either, so the other party didn't know that Diploch was here to deliver the prophecy ball.

Moreover, Rollos Barron did not meet with Diploch on the day of the crime. At the time of the crime, the other party was meeting privately with Cois Rozier and secretly traded a batch of contraband.

As for Blood Guard No. 2 of the Welfare family, after questioning, it was found that there was no overlapping line of action between the other party and Dip Lodge, and the two had basically no intersection. However, it cannot be ruled out that Blood Guard No. 2 learned that Qin Weijie had a conflict with Dip Lodge. In order to protect the young master of the welfare family, he committed murder. "

After listening to Desmond's report, Merlin and King Arthur were silent. They were both thinking. After a long time, Merlin asked: "Who do you think is more likely? What are their motives?"

"Judging from the missing prophecy ball, the other party should be heading for the prophecy ball, but among the five known people, there are three people who may be interested in the prophecy ball. One is the former leader of the Hungry Knights, Albus Dumbledore, he is probably still investigating what happened fifteen years ago.

Then came Blood Guard No. 2. The other party probably killed Diploge to protect the young master of the Welfare family. Then he obtained the prophecy ball and discovered that the content in the prophecy ball was related to Qin Weijie, so he took the prophecy ball away.

The last one is the Iron Dragon of the Omniscient Alchemy Society. Recently, the 'Magic Strategic Deployment Office' has been investigating the host of the Seven Deadly Sins. During the investigation, the Omniscient Alchemy Society often obstructed us. The specific intention is unknown, but there is a high probability that it is to stop us.' The Seven Deadly Sins Plan', so the opponent is also very likely to take action to snatch the prophecy ball. After all, the prophecy ball is related to the 'Seven Deadly Sins Plan'. "

After listening to Desmond's analysis, King Arthur nodded, and then issued an order: "Okay, in that case, Desmond, I order you to investigate these three people with all your strength and retrieve the prophecy ball as soon as possible."

"Yes, my king!" Desmond said, saluted, and then planned to leave the hall.

At this moment, Merlin, who was standing next to King Arthur, stopped Desmond: "Wait!"

"Sage, do you have any other instructions?"

Merlin ignored King Arthur's slightly dissatisfied look and instead ordered Desmond: "The little guy from the Welfare family is also very suspicious. Find someone to monitor him. The investigation on the host of the Seven Deadly Sins must also continue. ...How is the progress of the London orphanage investigation? Has the greedy host who disappeared that year been found?”

"We have checked most of the orphanages. There are 57 children with matching birth dates. Only 6 of them have magical blood, but they are too thin and are all duds. After inspection, they did not show the aura of the seven deadly sins." Desmond handed all the investigation documents to Merlin.

Merlin used the flying spell to summon all the documents to his hand. After a brief glance, he asked, "There is a problem with the direction of our previous investigation. Don't pay too much attention to the date of birth. The Muggle world often does not record the date of birth very strictly. Thoroughly investigate the children born in London orphanages throughout 1926 and 1927, and focus on finding children who have awakened magical talents. Dumb cannons are not enough to support the seven deadly sins!"

"Yes, sage, I will ask my men to check it out now! But the workload should be relatively large, and it is difficult to lock the target in a short time."

"Do your best! By the way, find a chance to check the little guy in the Foley family to see if he is also one of the hosts of the seven deadly sins. After all, his mother had a deep connection with the All-Knowing Alchemy Society."

"Yes, sage!" Desmond replied respectfully. Judging from his expression, Desmond's respect for Merlin is even higher than that for King Arthur.

Desmond turned and left. Watching Desmond walk out of the hall, King Arthur on the throne stood up silently, ignoring Merlin and turned to the back hall.

"Where are you going?" Merlin asked coldly, without any honorifics this time, as if he was questioning an ignorant junior.

"The rest of the matter has nothing to do with me, I'm leaving first, anyway, everything is up to you to decide, I still have to practice!"

Merlin sighed and slowly said: "Make your position clear, you are King Arthur, the meaning of your existence is to revive the royal court, if the former king had not been seriously injured and died fifteen years ago, I would have helped you to overcome all objections in the Glory Council, you would not have been able to sit in this position."

"Oh, then I have to thank you very much! Master Merlin!" King Arthur said, and walked into the back hall without looking back.

Merlin stood there with his fists clenched, looking at King Arthur with a little more coldness in his eyes.
