Chapter 372 Clues
"Any clues?"
"No, I can't find anything."
Private detective Antonio. Kanon, a little irritably answered Annan's question that had been repeated countless times.
He is currently sitting in his car, eating a takeaway lunch.
Sitting aside, Annan arrived not long ago.
"I haven't slept much these days, and I have to thank that boy Roderick...his top thug, it's best not to cause any big incident for me that everyone knows..."
Antonio, like Annan, usually doesn't pay attention to the personal matters of Roderick from the alliance.
Before this new commission came, he had no idea that Roderick had other dark races under his command. I have to say that this incident gave him a big surprise.
Antonio doesn't want to end up attracting those troublesome white knights because of the identity of the dark race. He also wants to find the target person as soon as possible and calm down the matter silently.
"Annan, since that guy can even fool you, a black magician, and has been secretly studying black magic, does he know some magic that can hide his traces? Is it possible that that guy has been showing off all this time? Activity?"
"Most black magic is magical and outrageous, but I don't think Caleb Russ has this ability. He is not a genius in black magic."
Annan has also considered the detective's speculation, but it is basically impossible to realize it.
Even if there is some unknown person behind the scenes, it should not be able to improve a werewolf so much.
Annan had carefully examined and questioned other people, Caleb. Before Ruth disappeared, she was not wearing any suspicious jewelry.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that things are hidden.
However, since there is no substantial evidence, there is no need to think about it so much for the time being.
If you really have to use your wild imagination, then the possibilities are really endless. In the end, you are just asking for trouble, so it is better not to think too much.
But this way, it means there are no more clues.
"Can't you find it even with your abilities?"
Antonio finished his lunch quickly.
Next, he will continue to pursue the target person who does not know where he is hiding.
"No, I've been to the places where that guy usually hangs out and around his residence, but I didn't find anything useful."
Annan used all the methods he could, but failed to find any clues. Caleb. Ruth was too prepared to find anyone.
"Recently, I learned a new magic, which is a magic that can detect traces of magical power. It's called magic aura detection. I found a lot of residual traces of magic in that guy's house, but they were all only inside the house. There’s no sign of it outside.”
Annan did not learn a detection magic just for this incident. He just chose it after he learned the previous magic.
Unfortunately, his detection magic was unable to track the target person's whereabouts.
"Then we can only continue to find someone steadily. I hope it won't take too long..."
Antonio continued to investigate the next suspicious destination, while Annan took a ride halfway and got off at the next destination.
The place Annan was going to investigate was Caleb. A property that Ruth secretly purchased under another identity and name.
Caleb. Although Russ usually only knows how to fight with his muscles, it doesn't mean that he can't use his brain and give himself a way out.
According to Paige. According to Buck, Veronica. Buck was once given to Caleb. Ruth suggested that you should deal with the property in your hands as much as possible. Don't just put it in the bank. You can arrange an unknown insurance for yourself.
Caleb. Ruth did exactly that. He used the modest funds on hand to buy a property that no one except himself knew about.
If it hadn't been for the accident and Roderick's diligent investigation, no one would have known about Caleb. Ruth has a secret residence that is never officially used.
Caleb. The property that Ruth purchased was a residential unit in a twelve-story commercial and residential building. It was located on the outskirts of the city center and belonged to a subtle area where houses were not expensive but not cheap either.
Annan took the key to the unit that Roderick had obtained somehow, came to the target floor, and then opened the door very smoothly.
Behind the gate, there is darkness.
Annan didn't notice anyone's presence nearby, so he boldly stepped inside and turned on the light.
All the curtains in the empty unit were drawn up, so the outside sunlight could not shine in, creating a complete darkness.
"Sure enough, it's not here."
Annan looked around and found that there wasn't much furniture in this place, not even a TV, just a few chairs placed randomly.
It has been decorated here and looks pretty neat, but that's all.
Annan spent a few minutes walking around the empty unit thoroughly.
"Well, it's strange that nothing is left."
Annan originally thought that he might not have found anything here, just like the places he had walked before, it was a wasted trip.
However, after using several different methods to observe the surroundings, he really saw some traces.
Annan did not see the aura of death nearby, but the detection magic he had learned earlier was reflected.
After casually releasing the reconnaissance magic, the remaining bits of fluorescent light representing the magic aura appeared on the floor of the unit.
You must know that this most basic detection magic can only find traces left recently. It is better to say that too much time has passed, and no matter how advanced detection magic is, nothing can be found.
Since you can see this somewhat inconspicuous fluorescent light right now, it means that the target person has been here not long ago.
"It seems like it was a day ago."
Annan quickly confirmed the approximate time. After all, the most basic detection magic he had learned had a limited time for discovering things, and it could only take two days at most.
If you open the curtains now, the residual light representing the traces of magical aura may be difficult to detect with the naked eye, which shows that the traces have been left for more than a day.
Annan took out the city map of the main body that he carried with him for tracing.
"The last time I found traces of that guy was at the new residence in the city center that Veronica bought more than half a year ago, and then he came to the outskirts of the city center, um..."
With only two clues, it was impossible for Annan to guess the whereabouts and whereabouts of the target person out of thin air. He was not a super-genius young detective with an open mind.
"Anyway, let's tell others what we have discovered here first, or others can solve the problem here."
