Chapter 191: The Disappearing Silk Thread

Patrick Jason, the main shareholder of a small bank in Backlund, was described by neighbors as a cheerful, enthusiastic, and optimistic middle-aged man who had never been married just for some personal reasons.

The report used fewer words to describe the true identity of the crazy ripper, and roughly introduced this good gentleman who could almost be called a model citizen.

But putting aside these inconsequential disguises that have been exposed, what is left is the bloody fact that truly makes Klein sigh.

There were more than thirteen victims who died in the Crazy Ripper case. This Patrick Jason had committed a similar case many years ago. However, due to lack of evidence and too long delay, in the end

Slowly it fell out of people's sight.

Moreover, after he was shot dead by the police (actually the Heart of the Machine), the special team of Silveras Field immediately conducted a thorough investigation of his property and discovered a shocking scene.

Under the lawn of the villa in his name, the police unearthed more than a dozen decomposed corpses. Not only that, but in the thick cement walls of the basement and in the partitions of the rooms, they also found broken corpses that could be hidden with only bones left.

After rigorous investigation, it was finally determined that there were as many as 32 victims.

Klein calmly followed the layout of the report and looked at the two side-by-side photos again.

One is a standard personal portrait. A middle-aged man with high cheekbones, unknown eye color, ordinary facial features, and neatly sparse hair is smiling gently, and what follows is a scene on the barren grass.

, broken carrion and yellowed white bones were densely piled up into a small hill. If you didn't observe carefully, it would be difficult to tell which part corresponded to it.

Klein looked away, picked up the cold milk, and took a sip.

After doing all this, he looked back at the unfinished reports.

Compared with the blood evidence mentioned above, which basically does not use rhetorical descriptions, the reports in the latter part appear to be full of flexible political terms.

Basically, it is explaining that His Majesty the King was deeply saddened by such a bad incident in the area under his rule. He almost forced the Prime Minister and the Parliament to pass the relevant laws as quickly as possible, made changes and additions to the original laws and regulations, and prepared to enlarge it.

The police department has investigative powers to prevent such serious scandals from happening again.

Is this a way for the king to restrain the nobility and new rich?

Although he did not explicitly say that he would establish other agencies outside the police system, if you pay attention to the paragraph about the special operations team, it can be said that the king is almost overcoming all objections to establish a second agency loyal to the royal family in addition to MI9.

Extraordinary organization.

If MI9 is ​​like Loen's Jinyiwei, then this new agency is like Loen's Dongchang?

Klein really wasn't in the mood to imagine a group of Loen gentlemen who had lost some important image, but the unexpected news he interpreted still aroused his interest.

After all, it's too abnormal.

Looking back now, it seems that the hasty implementation of the civil service system at that time was like rushing a duck to the shelves. King Loen seemed to be pursuing change, so there was no foundation for this. It all relied on Klein's mouth and Miss "Justice" to fool a few people.

The new system that this noble lady just launched has easily taken over the political market and even caused a chain reaction in other fields.

The same goes for the proposal to form a special police agency this time. In Klein's view, it was too deliberate, almost to the point of being unabashed.

However, compared to these fictitious things that were closer to the interests of the upper class, the real reason that made Klein give up cleaning his home and sit at the dining table for nearly an hour was the few words about "devils" that were revealed in the newspapers.

Sure enough, due to the existence of the role-playing method, some paths themselves are almost unable to avoid indulgent killings. Although Miss Sharon and her temperance faction are different from other "prisoners" path extraordinarys who indulge in lust, they also have the weakness of losing part of their power during the full moon.

.... Klein recalled the names of the sequences related to "Witch" and "Devil", and found that if he brought himself into these two sequences to play, as long as he was seeking promotion, he would not be able to avoid the reverse effect of the magic potion on the extraordinary.

Erosion, in the end, it can only be reduced to the same level as Patrick Jason this time,

The bowl on which the soup was placed on the dining table was completely dry, leaving a layer of greasiness on it.

Klein sighed, put the newspaper aside, stood up and cleaned up the mess in front of him, without saying a word.

............

Although he was depressed by the "Backlund Post" report in the morning, Klein still insisted on following the original plan and cleaned the entire room that had not been thoroughly cleaned since moving in, and focused on the kitchen.

The bathroom and bedroom are the most important places to you.

After doing all this, he took a hired carriage to the edge of the East District, trying to get information about Kaping.

But unfortunately, this time he did not meet the enthusiastic people like Lao Keler. Instead, he was targeted by the local gang and surrounded by several tall and thin plateau people in the alley.

Of course, as an experienced "clown" and a not-so-experienced "magician" who had only watched a few circuses, Klein kindly used illusions to create scenes, greeted several fellow plateauers, and then

Then physical means were used to let these poor people rest early, and finally facilitated his channeling.

That's right, this is the first time he has channeled a living person's spirit since coming to Backlund.

With the blessing of extraordinary power, these plateau gangsters who originally belonged to Meursault revealed the conspiracy of Capin's men secretly kidnapping young girls of school age in various places in the East District, and Crane used some means to dig out

Several accident-prone locations were identified.

"It's probably near the garment factory that Kapin snatched from other gangsters last time..."

Klein stepped off the tram, tapped his cane, and walked slowly and unhurriedly towards the depths of Iron Cross Street, muttering to himself, a rough map of the direction quickly appeared in his mind.

Although most residents in the East District know that it has become Kapin's territory, the factory is among the factory clusters and is almost impossible to avoid. In order not to lose their jobs, those girls who are easily regarded as prey, even if they know the danger,

It is also necessary to move around dangerous areas.

There were several strong men standing at the door of the bar in the distance. Klein looked at the faint figures reflected in the wooden door from a distance. He suppressed the vigilance in his heart and approached the bar with a normal expression. Under the eyes of those strong men,

, walked in as usual.

Feeling the warmth on different streets, Klein, who turned on his "substitute" silently, subconsciously looked behind the bar and almost stopped in his tracks.

In his vision, in the room where Maric usually stayed, several spiritual threads were slowly disappearing.
