Chapter 379
Jadenโs eyes were filled with joy. โAlright, go ahead. With the surveillance cameras and the aura of the spellcasting, the evidence is complete. Even if that person doesnโt admit it, we can still punish him according to the law for special groups.โ
Phoebe nodded. โOkay.โ
She took out yellow paper, cinnabar, and talisman pens from her bag. First, she used talisman strokes to draw an imaginary talisman on Unaโs back to force out the aura of the previous spellcasting. Then, she dipped the cinnabar on the yellow paper and used her essence energy to draw another talisman. Then, she used the pen to draw in the void, as if she were drawing a bridge.
Then, Jaden and Soren saw traces of black gas emitting from Unaโs body. They slowly crawled into the yellow talisman. When the black gas no longer appeared, Phoebe used another pen to finish the yellow talisman.
After she was done, she picked up the talisman and handed it to Jaden. โIโve already sealed the spell-casting aura within this talisman. The Special Force should have some device or means to track auras, right?โ
That was why they could often lock onto the perpetratorโs aura when investigating a case. For example, when they captured Reynard Morse previously, as long as they were close, they would be able to detect and lock onto the other partyโs aura.
Jaden nodded and said, โYes, we have specialized instruments.โ
Most of the staff in their department were not horoscope masters. Most of the time, when handling cases, they relied on modern instruments targeted at unnatural methods.
โThatโs good. When the time comes, you guys can go and compare the aura of your spells.โ Then, she carefully checked Unaโs body. She suddenly realized that there was a small piece of cattail under the nail of the other partyโs index finger.
She used the tools in the room to pick out the cattails. โThis thing is most likely what Una caught when she struggled. You can bring it to the Horoscope Association to find something like this when you arrest them. Identify all of them and see if there are any matches.โ
The Special Force should have a lot of appraisal equipment. Jaden took out a container and placed the cattails inside. โYouโve been very helpful today.โ
It was amazing to find so much evidence in a row. If the person who killed Una knew that Phoebe had dug out so many cover-ups, he would probably vomit blood from anger.
Phoebe smiled. โI am non-staff personnel. This is my duty now.โ
Jaden smiled and said, โThatโs good.โ He put away the container and extended his hand. โWelcome aboard, Phoebe!โ
Phoebe shook his hand. โThank you!โ
Jaden then went to report the matter to his boss, while Soren drove Phoebe back.
On the way, Soren said, โArenโt you afraid that theyโll find someone to deal with you?โ
Phoebe smiled. โIโm not afraid.โ
Coincidentally, it was a red light. Soren tilted his head and gave Phoebe a deep look. โSince the last time we met, I realized that you have gained a lot of confidence.โ Moreover, this time, she seemed to give off a sense of mystery.
Phoebe chuckled and said, โItโs alright.โ The reason why she chose to fight head-on was naturally because she had advanced to the Ascendance Realm. Previously, because she was weak, the restrictions were too great. Now that she had reached this realm, she could use many methods.
Soren could tell that Phoebe did not want to tell him where her confidence came from. He tactfully didnโt ask further. He changed the topic. โBy the way, the voodoo warlock my mother hired to deal with you has left Oriar and returned to Vientiane.โ
Phoebe asked in surprise, โIs he not going to deal with me anymore?โ
Logically speaking, since the voodoo warlock had received Opheliaโs money, it was unlikely that he would run away. Otherwise, if word got out, he would have no credibility in the sorcerer circle. In the future, no one would ever hire him to do things again.
Soren replied, โI received news that he knows of your achievements outside Oriar, so he went back to get something. Within a month, he should enter the country again and come to look for you. Be careful from now on.โ
โAlthough that personโs strength is only at the late Conmate Realm, he has a mentor who is in the Ascendance Realm. Heโs famous in Vientiane, and heโs also sponsored by many large factions over there.โ
Phoebe nodded. โYes, I will.โ
She suddenly asked, โHave you seen your father!โ
Soren was stunned. He was obviously surprised that she would ask this. It seemed that Phoebe knew everything. He shook his head. โIโve never met him. However, Iโve contacted him twice. He sounded a little old. He looks like heโs in his fifties or sixties.โ
He continued, โIโm guessing that he might have deliberately changed his voice, or that his voice and face were different. If he was in his fifties or sixties, my mother definitely wouldnโt be so infatuated.โ He felt that his mother was love-struck. He added, โWith my motherโs personality, she wonโt fall in love with an old man. That man must be very charming.โ
Phoebe asked, โDid he contact you before I went to Oriar, or recently?โ
Soren replied, โBefore you went to Oriar. He hasnโt contacted me in the last three months. The people he arranged to contact me in the past have also temporarily stopped contacting me.โ
Phoebe caught two pieces of useful information from what he said.
The person behind the scenes might have been in his sixties on the surface. When he was with his women, he should be a handsome and charming old man. Therefore, regardless of whether there was a backlash or not, the target she should go after should be the old man.
She had originally suspected the uncle of the vice president of the Horoscope Association. However, Raylan said that the person wasnโt Siennaโs biological father, so the person behind the scenes wasnโt that person.
Phoebe asked, โAre you going to Oriar to make an arrest?โ
Soren nodded. โYes.โ
Although they did not say it explicitly, both of them knew that they had reached a consensus to cooperate.
Phoebe said, โThen use your identity as Special Forceโs captain to go to the place where the higher-ups of the Horoscope Association live and find clues. Una is your sister, so I suspect that her death was caused by your biological father. Of course, heโll definitely find a scapegoat. It depends on who it is.โ
Soren was the other person on Percivalโs list that she could trust. That was why she was so shocked when she saw it. In addition, after she entered the Ascendance Realm, she could see through Sorenโs aura. He did not have any murderous aura, which proved that he never deliberately harmed others. That was why she said that to him.
Sorenโs eyes moved. โIn that case, although we canโt catch him, we can find out from the scapegoat.โ Not only did he have no feelings for his father, but he also wished he could quickly capture him and cripple him. It was a pity that the other party was just an old man. He had been hiding and didnโt even leave any clues. This was indeed a good opportunity.
