The white marble building has been stained with a yellowish color due to the washing of time, but this has not reduced the majesty of this building in the slightest.
It is the headquarters of the Green Forest City Police Department. Because it is located in the Glamorgan area, it is also called ‘Glamorgan Field’!
At the gate, there were two police officers in black uniforms standing guard.
Glancing inside, one can see a large number of police officers, some walking quickly, some holding folders, and some escorting prisoners, all forming a busy flow of people.
A police officer who looked to be in his twenties, wearing epaulettes, with blue eyes and high cheekbones, walked through the long passage and arrived at the depths of the police station holding a file.
After opening the secret door at the side door, he entered an underground passage and walked for a while, seemingly arriving next to Glamorgan Field.
The road bifurcates from here, and there is a downward passage, which is blocked by a door filled with various magic signs and mysterious symbols, and is guarded by people in black uniforms.
Percy Anias, who had blue eyes, was startled, as if he heard the screams of countless evil believers and wild Beyonders behind the door.
He walked to another corner, went up the stairs, and came to a mysterious building.
It is a well-known existence in the entire Inves, and is the branch of the Investigation Bureau in Green Forest City that is secretly cursed by countless wild Beyonders.
Percy found an office by the familiar route and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Accompanied by a deep voice, he opened the door and saw his boss—Hindson Kapler!
The other person is in his forties, has a high hairline, and has a pair of mysterious lavender eyes.
"Is there any progress on Benjamin's case?"
Hindson lit a cigarette and asked calmly.
"Yes……"
Percy opened the file in his hand: "According to the coroner's report at Glamorgan Yard, we confirmed that the identity of the body buried in the garden of No. 19 Joad was none other than Mr. Huck Benjamin! His time of death was determined by decomposition
Judging from the extent, it’s probably around April…”
"At the same time as he died, he encountered a cruel skinning ritual, which can be judged to be the work of a 'chrysalis' extraordinary person. The level of the original substance is between the second and third levels."
"The preliminary judgment of the entire case is that the valet Jack felt resentful after being fired. He was tempted by the hidden 'chrysalis' Extraordinary, entered the mysterious door, and used Benjamin's house to hold rituals and take revenge at the same time... He
Unfortunately, I met a robber, who was also a mysterious person, good at stabbing, and was killed on the spot... The robber plundered all the cash in the house and left, and at the same time pointed out the burial place of Mrs. Benjamin..."
"The robber Mr. had put on a disguise and kept his face covered. Mrs. Benjamin seemed to be slightly grateful to him. Her testimony at the beginning was a bit obscure. I used the 'deep sleep potion' on her, and she finally
Tell me, although the robber was masked the whole time, he had purple eyes... Just check them one by one..."
Percy said excitedly, while looking at his boss's face, he quickly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean you."
"There are not many people with purple eyes in Green Forest City, but there are quite a few, and most of them have high status... This kind of investigation is difficult to carry out."
Hindson Kapler shook his head and said: "You can secretly trace the identity of the robber, but you can't disturb too many distinguished people... Our main focus should still be on Jack's mysterious mentor! A man
The servant will not become an extraordinary person for no reason! There must be someone behind him!"
Compared to a robber, a murderer is naturally more eye-catching.
"I also investigated the background of the manservant. He is a local with an alcoholic father. He was kicked out of the house when he was very young. He was addicted to gambling and street girls, so he owed a large amount of money. Later, he stole the owner's property.
Fired..."
"Between Jack's dismissal and April this year, he lived a wandering life, changing jobs one after another, and was evicted by his landlord many times because he could not pay the rent. He even lived in a church workhouse...
There are too many people in contact, so it’s difficult to check them out.”
Percy replied with a wry smile.
After a pause, his expression became determined: "I think we can seek help from a fortune teller! In a case like this that has certain clues but requires a lot of investigation, a fortune teller can point us in the direction and save a lot of manpower.
Material resources!”
"hehe……"
Hindson put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said with a smile: "Percy... do you know how noble a fortune teller who can accurately predict fortunes is? That's a big shot. There are only a few in Inves, and the only one loyal to him is
The person who works for the Investigation Bureau at the headquarters in our capital, Pulmouth, receives a large number of requests for assistance from various places every day... This kind of request report is not too urgent and the degree of harm is not too high. Just type it up.
It will be dismissed."
Percy Anias took a deep breath.
Even though he is considered the youngest and most promising investigator in Green Forest City, he is still very helpless in many things.
…
Golden Rose Street.
Aaron, who was at home, counted his wallet carefully and sighed: "I'm short of money..."
Although I gained nearly a hundred pounds last time, I quickly spent it at the party.
According to Clark Das, such a gathering will be held basically once every half month, and when it is started, a code will be left on the wall of a fixed location.
"Half a month...is also the point when I am on the verge of promotion. I can purchase necessary materials, but these all require money!"
"That human skin is not easy to sell. Maybe next time you can try to sell the secret copy of "Song of the Insect"? But according to Clark, this kind of secret transaction is difficult to succeed in the first time because of the uncertainty of its authenticity.
"
"Currently, I am very short of money. I only have 33 pounds and 5 shillings left... I can barely get through this month. By next month, I may not even be able to pay Sylvia's weekly salary..."
Because we have to maintain the dignity of upper-class people, some expenses cannot be saved at all.
Moreover, there may be a lot of social interactions with neighbors that need to be dealt with this month, and all of this will cost money!
"If you're in a hurry, go grab a gangster..."
"Or... based on the clues found last time, continue to track down Jack's mentor?"
Aaron pondered.
Although he doesn't have many clues, they are crucial.
Especially the secret message, it can be used for divination!
The legacy of an extraordinary person must be quite a lot, and it is more suitable for transactions at gatherings.
He looked at the sky outside, changed into a white shirt, paired with black trousers, and a black vest... and prepared to go out to watch the opera.
Then, take the opportunity to dine at a high-end restaurant that is said to have a chef in charge and specializes in South Indonesian-style meals. In the afternoon, continue to watch circus performances, or visit shopping malls and exhibitions.
There is no way...the life of rich people is so boring.
