Chapter 1190: 373. Deja Vu

Investigating theft cases involving extraordinary powers was always arduous, especially since the thief had never shown his face, making the investigation even more challenging.

Lamont was ordered to take his companions through the streets, searching for any traces within and outside the city, questioning all wizards and ordinary people who might be related to the case.

The Earth Vein Pillar wizards inside Revival City, he questioned.

The Acting Commander of Division Intelligence Unit Two outside Revival City, he questioned.

The “Imperial Fist,” who were only skilled in direct combat and not suitable for theft, he also questioned.

The Undead Cult spies caught by the Pure Light wizards, as well as the Grey Wizards roaming in the city and wilderness, he questioned them all.

But still, there were no clues.

Because he possessed the rather rare extraordinary trait of “Lie Perception,” Lamont had always been busy on the frontline of the investigation, feeling increasingly the profound gulf between himself and the thief.

It seemed like he and the other party were in completely different worlds, with no intersection except for this case.

Lamont even suspected that it might have been those Transcendent Wizards possessing sub-dimensional planes, who had sent their magic avatars to steal the gem box belonging to Pure Light Court.

This suspicion was not without reason.

For example, the first question, who could control Grand Inquisitor Jay Spade without leaving any trace?

Transcendent Wizards.

To be specific, a Transcendent Wizard skilled in Illusion Magic.

Such beings might be unknown to others, but as a senior Light Wizard, Lamont had heard of them.

Another example, the second question, how to remove the gem box from the range of the Tracking Array in the shortest time possible?

Undoubtedly, by teleporting away with the gem box.

After obtaining the gem box, the thief used teleportation at least twice.

The first time, the thief teleported with the gem box to a deserted place.

The second time, under no outside watch, the thief opened a Teleportation Gate and returned to his sub-dimensional plane.

This was the thieving process Lamont imagined in his mind.

Regardless of the accuracy of his fantasy, if someone in this world could effortlessly conduct this sequence of actions, it would necessarily be a Transcendent Wizard.

“…Sir, these are my deductions,”

Inside Jay Spade’s study room, Lamont respectfully reported his recent investigation results.

Pinching his forehead, Jay Spade asked,

“So, you ultimately suspect a Transcendent Wizard skilled in Illusion Magic stole the gem box?”

“Yes, sir,” Lamont lowered his head and bowed slightly.

Jay Spade had expected this answer and even had something to add.

Being directly involved, he carefully recalled the scene that day multiple times.

His body uncontrollably approached the high-value item warehouse, and somehow, the gem box in the warehouse disappeared.
