Looking up, Carl looked at the representatives of the Feolan and Linland families, who were the main parties involved, while speaking.

He was afraid that the two would say something like "They were quite frightened and have returned to the dormitory to rest."

"They have been detained in the temporary prison at the port. We have verified the number of people and their identities and confirmed that no one is impersonating or sneaking in temporarily."

Looking at Carl with an expression of approval, the representative of the Metani family who possessed the detection dragon pattern briefly explained the treatment of the crew members, and it seemed that he had thought of something similar to Carl.

Perhaps thinking that the fact that Carl could think of this possibility showed that his insight far exceeded that of others, the half-elf of the Medani family simply walked over and started chatting with Carl.

"We also found a plank of living wood in the maintenance bay that shouldn't have been there, but we haven't found out what it does yet."

Living wood is mainly popular among elves, and even druids rarely use this kind of wood with "living" properties to make tools.

As he spoke, the half-elf waved to his men and asked them to bring the wooden board over.

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

He felt a strange dragon energy from the wooden board, but since he had not focused on training his own dragon power, it was difficult for him to be sure.

"Mr. Cook, come here!"

Fortunately, the representative of the Dragon Pattern Family was here, so Carl chose to rely on the power of others without hesitation.

"Hey! Here they come!"

Hearing Carl calling him, Cook Sarashik came closer with a slightly ferocious smile.

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

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

Hearing this request, Cook was stunned for a moment, then with a serious expression he activated the power to explore the dragon pattern and began to sense it.

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

Carl took the wooden board from the other party again, then closed his eyes and used his psychic power to sense the remaining traces of dragon energy.

The process was a bit lengthy, and the Linland family representative with the worst temper already wanted to go to the temporary prison at the port to interrogate those innocent crew members.

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

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the representatives of the Dragon Mark Family around them all changed.

Tree Leap is a spell used to perform space jumps. Does this mean that someone really used this spell to sneak into the ship and did something? "I see. Tree Leap can only be performed between two living trees, and even if the living wood has been made into an instrument, it still meets this characteristic!"

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

He is the representative of the Dragonmark family and a fan of detective novels. He thinks he can write this kind of operation into his own book.

"So, there really was a group of people who sneaked into our family's ship, killed our family's captain, and then threw the dirty water on that poor guy?"

Perhaps he had finally figured out the key to this. The representative of the Linland family slowly came to Carl's side and asked in a low voice.

The air currents around him seemed to fluctuate noticeably with his emotions, which was a situation that was only possible when the dragon pattern ability was developed to a very high level.

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

With his fists clenched tightly, the representative of the Linland family turned around abruptly and looked at his subordinates.

"What are you still doing here? Do you want those rats to get away? Use your channels to inform the pirates you are familiar with and have them strictly check the passing ships! Tell 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 thought that as a member of the Dragon Mark family, he could help, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "They probably haven't gone too far yet, so take the good fighters from our family with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the Medanni and Feoran families also indicated that they would contribute manpower and manpower.

Soon, a team dedicated to tracking down the murderer was officially formed.

…

In a residential building near the port area, Kasa and Tum, who had agreed on the rental price and time with the landlord, walked out of the house and prepared to follow the landlord to handle the relevant procedures.

But as soon as they walked out of the first floor door, they saw two guards from the Storm Dragon Mark Family walking towards them.

"Which apartment are you living in? This is our search warrant. Please cooperate with us in the investigation!"

Although their tone was somewhat unfriendly, the two men still took out the search warrant temporarily approved by Carl and showed it to the three of them.

This is the "law and regulation" of Storm Bay, and it is mainly to prevent someone from pretending to be an official and searching other people's homes at will.

In a world with magic, you could never guess what tricks those professionals would come up with to cheat and deceive.

First, the identification of the three people was checked, and then the five people walked back to the corridor of the apartment.

The landlord was a relatively easy-going person. When Carl was building an 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 a carefree life just by renting an apartment.

After carefully looking at the official seal stamped with a magic mark on the document, he smiled apologetically to Kasa and Tum, 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 want me to take you to check them out one by one later?"

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

The effective range of tree leap is 500 feet, with the port as the center. The only apartments that meet the requirements 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 homes, the two guards took the search warrant and began knocking on doors one by one.

Kassa and Tum followed the landlord to the city hall, intending to complete the temporary accommodation procedures before the end of get off work, but as soon as they arrived on the surface, Tum suddenly remembered the six guys who had passed by him and Kassa before.

'The Lynland family isn't looking for them, is it?'

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