His mental “hands” grasping, simultaneously caressing the brains of the suspects, releasing memories and random sensations as a byproduct of the process.The investigator is in deep concentration – meanwhile the guards flanking him stay on the ready for any issues that arise. He gives a curious look at a Barbazu amongst the group, and lastly, an even more curious look at Aasimar twins that stand beside the other six.“Those two," He points to the guards and then the Aasimar– “Take them to Lokaski”Looking back at the others, the investigator smiles – a very, very unfriendly smile.“One of the facto—leaders of the Dustmen was assassinated three weeks ago. Today, another one of their leaders is dead. It is not a small matter that two faction leaders are assassinated, nor is it safe for anyone involved in the assassinations themselves – the Sodkillers aside – Her Serenity would not condone actions that may well lead to a second Faction War. Tensions are running high, and we are going to end these killings before there is an escalation. We are taking no chances, as a result – no one may leave the premises of this crime until further notice from me- innocent or not.”The Barbazu snarls a low, dangerous curse, but takes no further action.The investigator looks at the fiend, then back at Shadrin – “Although you are certainly welcome to try” he smiles that horrible smile again, before slipping away towards the other investigators...But not before the collective notes several things of importance:Firstly, The dead tiefling has no spell residues on her, except for a minor enchantment on a dagger concealed in the woman’s thigh – the very same kind of minor enchantment that is apparent in every single guard’s weapons. This implies that no apparent physical, nor magical means were used for the assassination. Furthermore, the investigator was using more than simply psionics during the questioning – during his brief period of concentration – he was utilizing a “True Seeing” spell. In fact, looking once again at the investigators, it is quite likely that all of them are using that spell.A sudden, loud order steals the attention of the remaining five – (no listen checks needed)- looking over, they see the Aasimaars now surrounded by at least eight guards. “Disable that tattoo, before I rip it out of your flesh!” One of the guards snarls.</blockquote>
