Chapter 295: Simple and Crude Reasoning

"Where are the survivors of the ship now?"

Raising his head, Karl spoke while looking at the representatives of the Fioran family and the Linland family, who were the main parties.

He was afraid that the two people would say something like "They were greatly frightened and had already gone back to the dormitory to rest."

"They have been imprisoned in the temporary prison at the port. We have verified the number of people and their identities to make sure that no one is pretending or sneaking in temporarily."

Looking at Carl with a very approving expression, the representative of the Medani family, who held the detection dragon mark, briefly explained how to deal with the crew. It seemed that he had thought of something similar to Carl.

Probably because he thought that Karl could think of this, it might mean that his insight ability was far superior to others, so the half-elf of the Medani family simply walked over and started chatting with Karl.

"We also found a plank made of activated wood in the maintenance cabin that should not have been there, but the purpose of this thing has not yet been found."

Activated wood is mainly popular among elves, and even druids rarely use this wood with "living creature" characteristics to make utensils.

With that said, the half-elf waved to his men and asked them to bring the board over.

Looking at the board in front of him, Karl narrowed his eyes slightly.

He felt a strange dragon pattern energy from this wooden board, but he could not confirm this as he had not focused on training his own dragon pattern power.

"Mr. Cook, come here!"

Fortunately, the representative of the Exploring Dragon Mark Family was here, so Karl chose to rely on the power of others without hesitation.

"Hey! Here we come!"

Hearing Karl actively calling him, Cook Sarashik came closer with a ferocious smile.

As a half-orc, it was difficult for him to make such an expression.

"Mr. Cook, could you please sense if there are traces of dragon pattern energy on this board that do not belong to the twelve dragon pattern families."

Hearing this request, Cook was stunned for a moment, and then with a serious look on his face, he activated the power of exploring the dragon pattern and sensed it.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again and nodded with a solemn expression.

Karl took the wooden board from the opponent's hand again, then closed his eyes and used his spiritual energy to sense the remaining traces of dragon pattern energy.

This process is a little long, and the representative of the Ringland family with the worst temper already wants to go to the temporary prison at the port to interrogate the innocent crew members.

At this moment, Karl opened his eyes again and said: "The spell cast by this dragon pattern energy should be tree jumping."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the surrounding Dragon Mark family representatives all changed.

Tree Jump is a spell used to jump between spaces. Does this mean that someone really sneaked into the ship through this spell and then did something?

"I see, the tree leaping technique needs to be performed between two living trees, and activated wood still meets this characteristic even if it has been made into a tool!"

In the corner, the dwarf of the Sivis family, who had the least connection with this incident and had the smallest presence, whispered.

He is the representative of the Dragon Scribe family and a lover of detective novels. He feels that he can write this operation into his own book.

"So, is it true that such a group of people sneaked into our family's ship, killed our family's captain, and then poured dirty water on the poor guy's head?"

Probably finally understanding the key, the representative of the Linland family slowly came to Karl's side and asked in a low voice.

The airflow around him seemed to fluctuate significantly with his emotions. This was only possible when the dragon mark ability was developed to a high degree.

Seeing that his colleagues were a little excited, the representative of the Medani family pointed out what he and others should do now in a not-so-funny way.

"Yes! And if they are smart enough, they should be ready to escape from Storm Bay by now."

Clenching their fists tightly, the representative of the Linland family suddenly turned back and looked at his subordinates.

"What are you still doing here? Do you want those rats to go away! Use your channels to inform the pirates who are familiar with you and ask them to strictly inspect the passing ships! Inform the clan leader about this, and then Ask a master of the prophecy school to locate them!"

The storm dragon mark holders who were also angry about the murder of their family members were about to leave, but Cook probably felt that he could help because he was also a dragon mark family, so he quickly stood up and said:

"They probably haven't gone too far yet, so let's bring the good guys from our family with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, members of the Medani and Fioran families also signaled that they would help.

Soon, a team dedicated to tracking the murderer was formally established.

…

In a residential building near the port area, Kasha and Tumu, who had negotiated the rental price and time with the landlord, walked out of the house and prepared to follow the landlord to go through the relevant procedures.

But as soon as they walked out of the gate on the first floor, they saw two guards from the Storm Dragon Mark family walking over.

"Which apartment do you live in? This is our search warrant. Please cooperate with us in our investigation!"

Although their tone was somewhat unkind, the two of them took out the search warrant temporarily approved by Karl and showed it to the three of them.

This is the "law and regulation" of Storm Bay, mainly to prevent people pretending to be official personnel to randomly search other people's homes.

In a world with magic, you can never imagine what methods those professionals will come up with to cheat.

First, the identity documents of the three people were checked, and then the five people walked back to the corridor of the apartment.

The landlord was a relatively easy-going person. When Carl built the underground building in the port area, he was one of the first few people to respond to the call, and he worked very hard, so he was rewarded with six rooms and became a landlord who could live comfortably by renting apartments.

After carefully looking at the official seal stamped with magic marks on the document, he smiled apologetically to Kassa and Tum, and then returned to the apartment.

"The third apartment on this floor is mine, and it is currently rented to these two tenants. The rest are in other units and floors. Do you need me to take you to check them one by one later?"

After opening the door and checking, the two Storm Dragon Guards frowned and declined the landlord's kindness with a regretful voice.

The effective range of the tree jump is 500 feet, with the port as the center of the circle. The only apartments that meet the conditions are the corresponding floors of the two adjacent units.

"Sorry to bother you. By the way, are all the other residents on this floor occupied?"

After asking the landlord for some information about several nearby households, the two guards took the search warrant and began knocking on doors one by one.

Kasha and Tum followed the landlord to the city hall, intending to complete the temporary accommodation before leaving get off work, but just after arriving on the surface, Tum suddenly remembered the six guys who had passed by Kasha and him before.

'Is the Linland family not looking for them? '

Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Tum quickly shook his head and dispelled it from his mind.
