Please charm this NPC

The first page of the file contains photos and basic information of Thomas. There are photos from young to old, and the handwriting of the records is also different. It seems that this information was not completed overnight, but continued after Priest Thomas joined the Yellow Seal Sect. updated.

The young Thomas was a handsome guy with high spirits and high spirits; in his middle age, Thomas was a gentleman, gentle and polite; after his gray hair and wrinkled face, he was still a gentle and loving old man, making people feel kind—in short, No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a crazy cultist.

Oh, as a complete heretic, Ran Wenyu has no right to call other people crazy.

Thomas was less than 30 years old when he joined the church, and he went astray at a young age.He graduated from the literature department of a top university in the world. He should have a very bright future, but because he was too obsessed with ancient literature, Thomas accidentally saw "The King in Yellow" and missed his life. A good job at home, turned into a small librarian.

After entering the Yellow Seal Order, Thomas met his wife Shirley.Shirley is also a fanatical Yellow Indian who loves literature and art.The two were like-minded and connected, and soon entered the marriage hall, and gave birth to their son Jones the following year.

Looking at the family information on the file Thomas, Ran Wenyu frowned slightly.

According to the data, Shirley died ten years ago with an unknown cause, and their son Jones and daughter-in-law Meili also died suddenly ten years ago, leaving only a child named Louis.A good family fell apart so quickly, and Louis, who was only seven years old, had to live with his grandfather Thomas.

After reading this family background carefully and repeatedly several times, the suspicion that had been dispelled because of the "Wizard Order" regrouped. Ran Wenyu felt that the events that led to the simultaneous or successive deaths of Thomas' wife, son, and daughter-in-law ten years ago Accidents, nine out of ten have to do with the missing Holy Grail in the mod.

It's a pity that there is no mention of this important information in the data, and this kind of obvious dodge and concealment is what people care about the most.

After taking pictures of Thomas' information page by page, Ran Wenyu turned to the files of Shirley who died ten years ago.It's a pity that maybe it was because the other party was dead, but Ran Wenyu couldn't find it. At the same time, there was no information about Thomas' son Jones and daughter-in-law Meri in the filing cabinet. were destroyed together.

After looking for information on Thomas' family, Ran Wenyu took out the files of several high-ranking members of the church that Thomas mentioned earlier who knew where the Holy Grail was stored.

Since this is the biggest secret of the sect, apart from Thomas, who is the high priest of the sect, only four people know about it, namely Priest Kevin, the student and successor of Priest Thomas; Priest Jona, who is in charge of the finance of the sect; Priest Jacob, who is in charge of the personnel of the order; and Priest Anthony, who is in charge of the security of the order.

Ran Wenyu also took pictures of the files of these four people without discrimination.However, there were no obvious problems with their information, at least it could not divert Ran Wenyu's attention from the secret that happened in Priest Thomas' family ten years ago.

So, ten years ago, what happened?

Just when Ran Wenyu was thinking seriously, his cell phone rang.Ran Wenyu immediately connected to the phone. On the other side of the phone was a male voice whose exact age could not be identified, but who should be in his prime: "Hello, is this Mr. Ran?"

"I am." Ran Wenyu replied, "You are Ally?"

"Yes!" The man's emotions immediately became high, and his attitude was extremely reverent, "Good day, Mr. Deputy Priest."

"Good day." Ran Wenyu was eager to know the answer, and went straight to the point, "Has the video inspection result come out?"

"Yes, it's out." Ally didn't hesitate, and gave the answer simply and neatly, "There is no problem with the video, the picture is very coherent, without any traces of cutting, blurring, or modification."

Ran Wenyu frowned slightly: "Okay, I see, thank you for your help."

"It's my honor!" Ally's tone was full of excitement.Obviously, it is his supreme honor to have the opportunity to serve Ran Wenyu.

After exchanging pleasantries with this Ally, Ran Wenyu hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the current investigation, Priest Thomas himself should be fine.However, even if he is not the person in charge, he still has not completely escaped from the incident, but instead participated in it in a way that investigators are currently unclear about.

Clicking on the mobile browser, Ran Wenyu tried to enter keywords such as "ten years ago", "Thomas", "Shirley", "Jones", and "Merry" in the search box, but unfortunately, none of these names It is a popular name. Although I retrieved a bunch of information, I searched and searched but couldn't find any information that meets the requirements, which made Ran Wenyu a little dizzy.

"KP, if I'm lucky, can I get useful clues?" Ran Wenyu asked KP shyly.

KP, however, was extraordinarily "iron and selfless" after a broken relationship: [Sorry, you can't find useful clues in such a simple and rude way. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——Heh, if you fall out of love, you will turn your face, even if KP is not a man, he is still a big pig!

Frustrated, he threw the phone on the table. Just as Ran Wenyu raised his hand to grab the little curly hair, he heard a soft knock on the closed door of the reference room: "Master Deputy Priest, are you in?"

It was Gerak's voice, and Ran Wenyu raised his voice to respond, asking them to come in. Gerak immediately opened the door and walked in, while Aliya followed behind him.

Inviting the two to sit opposite him, Ran Wenyu crossed his fingers and placed them on the table. He was the first to speak in a leadership manner: "What did you gain from your investigation?"

Jerak shook his head dejectedly: "I haven't gained anything here. There are indeed quite a few cameras around the library, but all of them are in the direction of the street, and they don't cover the three-story building."

Ran Wenyu nodded and looked at Alia again.

Aliya hesitated and took out her mobile phone: "I haven't gained much here, but I barely found something. Based on the library address and clues from nine days ago, I located the location and time of posting, and searched for the night nine days ago, in the library. In a post posted near the library, some people said that when they drove past the library, they saw a strange black figure with a long body, like a rope, and seemed to have wings. However, the black figure just passed by in a flash. He didn’t see it clearly at all, and thought it should be a plastic bag tied to the rope, which was blown into the sky by the wind, which gave him a wonderful illusion.”

"The fact that the body is very long matches the black shadow on the video, and it appeared outside the window on the third floor of the library. It is logical to have wings." Gerak said, "But just these two points, we still can't Judging what it is can only prove that the video is not faked." Speaking of which, Jerak looked at Ran Wenyu, with a hint of pride in his tone, "My lord, have you checked the authenticity of the video? "

"Yes, I have already had someone identify it." Ran Wenyu ignored Jerak's veiled pride, "There is indeed nothing wrong with the video, and I used the 'wizard order' to test Thomas. It is true that he did not steal the Holy Grail."

Although the two investigators were a bit frustrated by the lack of results, when Ran Wenyu admitted that he had suspected the wrong person, Jerak and Alia smiled at the same time, feeling that they had finally raised their eyebrows in front of the NPC - they had been under the control of the NPC before The rhythm of the investigation really made them feel uncomfortable.

It's a pity that just as the two investigators smiled, Ran Wenyu changed the subject: "However, although Priest Thomas is not a thief, there is a high possibility that he has something to do with this matter." After finishing speaking , He pushed the file of Priest Thomas, which had not been put back in the file cabinet, to Gerak and Alia, motioned them to read it, and explained the doubt about the "accident ten years ago".

"Don't let go of any abnormalities. This should be the basis of our investigation. Among all the high-level personnel I investigated who knew where the Holy Grail was stored, Priest Thomas was the only one who made me suspicious." Ran Wenyu said calmly, "I think, Next, we should investigate what happened ten years ago that led to the deaths of three members of Priest Thomas' family in the same year."

The two investigators whose smiles gradually disappeared: "..."

Touching their consciences, Gerak and Alia had to admit that the direction of investigation pointed out by Ran Wenyu was indeed worthy of attention.Although on the surface, the past ten years ago has no connection with the current theft of the Holy Grail, investigators with a little common sense know that in the Cthulhu module, KP will not give investigators too much meaningless Information - After all, it is very difficult to investigate from scratch in a short period of time. If there are more confusing options, it will simply not give players a way out!

However, intellectually they knew that what Ran Wenyu said was correct, but emotionally, they had to be depressed because of their broken self-esteem.

After working for such a long time, the two players gained little, and the NPC investigated alone. Although the initial guess was denied, other key discoveries were made, and even a plan for the next step was made. This is simply "humans are not as good as NPCs" ah!

It was as if the world-renowned chess players were defeated by artificial intelligence one after another in the fields they were most proud of, shocked, powerless, and suspicious of life.

Of course, although it is difficult to accept that a living human being is not as good as an NPC, the investigators will not make life difficult for their precious little lives just because of their poor self-esteem and pride.Silently digesting the fact that they were useless and were instead taken away by their fellow NPCs, Jerak and Alia quickly adjusted their emotions, looked at Ran Wenyu with admiration, and offered rainbow farts: "Master Deputy Priest is really amazing, You can see through the key at a glance!"

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——The insincere words in your tone are really hard to ignore.
