"Mr. Mayor, may I ask what the black flame flag in your town is used for?"

Seeing that Zhao Bai had just closed his eyes and meditated on the theft case, when he opened his eyes, he suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

The mayor couldn't help but wonder, does this have anything to do with the case?

Although he was confused, he still answered honestly: "That black flame flag can absorb enough energy and transfer it to every household. We use special lamps and stoves in our town. This energy can be used

It can be applied to lamps, stoves and other household items.”

"Are there no other functions besides this?"

"Well, that's the only function of the Black Flame Flag!"

After answering the question, the mayor still didn't understand the purpose of Zhao Bai's question.

After listening to the village chief's description, Zhao Bai immediately showed a smile of understanding.

It turns out that the problem lies here.

When he was investigating the Black Flame Flag before, he saw information about the investigation of the Chaos Yin Yang Stone, and gave three feedbacks in total.

One is the function of transmitting energy.

One is a function that can transmit energy wherever it flows.

Another is to observe the functions of the whole town.

The mayor said that the Black Flame Flag actually only has one function of transmitting energy, so the remaining two functions were obviously put up by unknown people.

After combining the details of the strange thief case mentioned by the mayor, everything became clear.

Mysteriously entering various homes in the town, stealing items without any trace of entry.

This can be achieved through the second function, which is the function of transmitting energy wherever it flows.

If you want to know where the treasures in each household are hidden, you can use the third function to find out.

Now that the criminal's criminal methods have been successfully deciphered, the next step is to catch him!

To catch the criminal, more clues are needed.

At this time, Zhao Bai also felt the difficulty of civilian tasks.

He can easily obtain the information on the Black Flame Flag through the Chaos Yin Yang Stone, but if it were another player, he would have to investigate step by step to get such information.

And this is just the method that has been deciphered. To catch the culprit, we need to continue the investigation.

Although civilian tasks basically do not require combat, the difficulty and troublesomeness of the tasks are no less than a difficult battle.

Even for some people who are not particularly bright-minded, this civilian task is actually a hundred times more difficult than a combat task.

If you want to track down the criminal, you need to start the screening slowly from the beginning.

"Mayor Mayor, do you still remember when this first happened?"

Hearing Zhao Bai suddenly ask about this again, the mayor immediately said: "This is very clear, because we have recorded the case after it happened. This initial case happened a month ago."

"Then do you have any surveillance equipment near the Black Flame Flag? After all, the Black Flame Flag should be a very important thing to Black Flag Town. Isn't it unattended?"

Listening to Zhao Bai asking a few jumping questions, the mayor, although he didn't know the reason, still said: "Actually, many restrictions have been placed on the Black Flame Flag in our Black Flag Town, and ordinary people cannot take it away quietly or take it away quietly.

Destruction, so we usually don’t pay too much attention to the Black Flame Flag!

Just put a photo mirror in a dark place for observation and recording."

The mayor continued: "Just like so many strange things happened this time, the Black Flame Flag is obviously the best treasure in Black Flag Town, but it still exists and has not been stolen, so the Black Flame Flag is still very safe!"

Zhao Bai immediately smiled and said, "That's it, then I'm relieved!"

It is much easier to find the murderer after hearing that there is a recording device like a photographic mirror.

"Your Majesty is worried about us when we come here. It really worries you!" The mayor thought that Zhao Bai was simply worried that the Black Flame Flag would be stolen.

At this time, Zhao Bai smiled and shook his head: "That's not the case. What I'm relieved about is that the Phantom Thief has already found a way to find him!"

"Huh!? Are you serious?" The mayor looked in disbelief.

Because the Lord from the Internal Affairs Department had a brief chat with him, and he had a clue to the Phantom Thief?

This person is so inhuman!

The detectives in the town had searched for so long and found no clues, but Zhao Bai knew the clues of the Phantom Thief in just a few words. The gap was indeed too big. No wonder the mayor sighed like this.

It's just that he didn't know that Zhao Bai discovered the clues hidden in the Black Flame Flag from the beginning because of the Chaos Yin-Yang Stone. Otherwise, he would also be looking for trouble.

After all, the Black Flame Flag is the blind spot for all explorations.

No one would ever think that the safest and most foolproof black flame flag would become a criminal tool for criminals.

So naturally no one started investigating based on this, and in the end nothing was found.

Looking at the shocked look on the mayor's face, Zhao Bai smiled lightly and said: "That monster thief can steal anything, but he can't touch the Black Flame Flag!

This is not just because of the restrictions on the Black Flame Flag, but because the Black Flame Flag is the basis for that guy’s fortune!”

"What do you mean by this?"

At this time, the food and wine were being served, Zhao Bai smiled and said: "Let's eat first, and I will explain everything clearly when I go to check the photo mirror later!"

Although the mayor was very itchy at this time, as if he knew the details of the case, after Zhao Bai said this, he could only nod and wait patiently.

Seeing the mayor's expression of eagerness to know the answer, Zhao Bai couldn't help but enjoy this feeling.

He finally understood why Bao San San, the God of Death primary school student, liked to talk about a lot of tactics and the like before telling off the criminal.

This is to whet everyone's appetite and have a big climax at the end.

This feeling is quite interesting.

Although we all live in different worlds, the taste of the dishes is quite suitable to Zhao Bai's taste.

After tasting dishes that he had never tasted on Earth, Zhao Bai just said, "I'm full. How about we leave now?"

Zhao Bai smiled and said to the mayor.

In fact, there was dessert after the meal, but the mayor was eager to know the truth of the case, so he did not mention it. Instead, he smiled and said: "I just had to eat and I have to leave. I don't have any time to rest. I'm really sorry, sir."

Got it!"

"After all, official business matters!"

To view the photo mirror, you need to go back to the backtracking room in the town hall.

After taking Zhao Bai back to the retrospection room, the mayor couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, what does that prisoner have to do with the photo mirror? Our photo mirror only faces the black flame flag and cannot illuminate other places!"

Zhao Bai smiled and said: "That's enough, what I need is the information near the Black Flame Flag!"

"My lord has been asking a lot of questions about the Black Flame Flag before. How does this relate to the Phantom Thief case?"

"This connection is huge! Mr. Mayor, your black flame flag really only has the function of absorbing and transmitting energy!"

The mayor nodded, looking forward to Zhao Bai continuing.

"That's right, actually when I entered the town, I did some research on the Black Flame Flag because it was a bit strange.

After investigation, I found that there are two formations attached to the Black Flame Flag!"

"Two formations!?" the mayor said in surprise, "It's impossible, we didn't put any formations on the black flame flag!"

"That's right, because these two formations were set up by the prisoner. You have always been curious about the prisoner's criminal methods before!"

The mayor nodded again, "Sir, have you even cracked the criminal method?"

"The criminal's tool of crime is the Black Flame Flag!"

"What!? How is that possible?" The mayor was completely shocked when he heard that the Black Flame Flag was actually the criminal's criminal tool.

After all, the Black Flame Flag existed before he became the mayor of the town, and it had always been safe and sound without anything happening.

How come this Black Flame Flag, which has brought great convenience to Black Flag Town, has become a criminal tool for criminals?

"Listen to me and tell me slowly!

There are two formations attached to this black flame flag at this time. One is called [Flow Energy Teleportation Array], which allows the caster to teleport back and forth at will wherever the energy source of the black flame flag flows.

Formation.

There is also an array called [Observation Array], which allows the organizer to observe anything within a kilometer range around the array!

After talking about the functions of these two formations, I believe the mayor will be aware of it!"

The moment Zhao Bai finished explaining the functions of the two teleportation arrays, the mayor suddenly felt like a thunderbolt flashing through his mind.

"A formation that can be teleported wherever the black flame flag's energy flows, and a formation that can observe the entire town!

this……"

"It seems that you already know the annoying criminal methods!

That's right, he uses the observation array to observe where all the valuables of everyone in the town are hidden, and then uses the flow energy transmission array to directly steal the treasure from the owner's house when they are not guarding the treasure!"

"No wonder, no wonder! No wonder our detectives couldn't find a single clue no matter how hard they searched. No wonder this phantom thief can sneak into everyone's home silently. No wonder this phantom thief can know where the treasures in everyone's homes are hidden.

It turns out that’s why!”
