Chapter 969: Section 634: Some Promises (Part 2)
Mendel’s case had reached a deadlock—no sufficient clues could be found in Victor’s house, and the Dark Fellowship Guild didn’t have enough clues either—the one who took the mission at that time was the Canine Lady, opposed by an illusionist expert. According to those present, each saw the guest with a different appearance; what the Canine Lady saw was a white-haired, face-markless female elf.
Another staff member saw a tall and slender man.
The sentry on the lookout outside saw a half-human.
It can be said that apart from Malin, who is immune to illusions, there were not many who could handle this guy.
And after this guy dropped the money and confirmed the mission target, he left the scene, then the Canine Lady might have been influenced by a Suggestion Spell, she didn’t ask anything and just listed the task. Normally, Victor wouldn’t show up at the guild for half a month, but that day, right after the target left, he came in right afterward.
Malin, Jason, and Sostack No.3 had discussed the possibility of Victor being under a Suggestion Spell; both Jason and Sostack No.3 thought it was possible—Suggestion Spell could imply to the victim through language, something that could be done without a Spell Formation, and given Victor’s half-crazed state, it was possible to be manipulated by the power of words to take on a task.
And after Victor took on the task, Malin knew what happened next.
Victor found Mica and his group, who then found the two non-guild Assassins they silenced, eventually leading to Mendel’s death.
Mendel probably wouldn’t have imagined that the two who appeared to be vagrants would be the killers sent to murder him.
And due to the special nature of the Guild, a Spellcasting is performed every day after business hours to disrupt the possibility of tracing back, Malin couldn’t possibly trace back to the appearance of the killer, and a week after it happened on the streets, any pursuit of the murderer was a real headache.
It was simply an impossibility, after retracing, Malin could only helplessly shake his head at the sight of hundreds of targets.
After comparing five testimonies and personally questioning the witnesses, Malin had to regretfully inform Todd and Lagrov that the clues were probably truly cut off here.
