West End, 6 Edward Street.

Iconser Bernard pressed his black top hat, pointed to the door of the house behind the fountain pool, and said to Klein, Issinger, and Kaslana:

"We reversely investigated the various channels of information and data leakage, combined with the profile outline of the depicted face, and, with the help of the magic mirror, we initially locked down a suspect. ”

When it comes to the magic mirror, you pause obviously, and you don't know what price to pay for the answer you want...... Klein sensed the problem in Iconser's tone, and was inexplicably a little sympathetic to the other party.

"Is this the owner of this house?" asked Kaslana almost definitively.

Issinger Stanton looked around and said, as if thinking:

"You chose to notify us directly because you found other corroboration?"

"Yes, the portrait of the owner of this house proves something, heh, he never took pictures. "In addition, the surrounding residents have seen a large black dog in the vicinity, many times. ”

"This basically proves that the target is the 'apostle of desire'. Speaking of this, Isenger suddenly smiled, "I'm sorry, we were too anxious for you to even have a chance to introduce the suspect." ”

Ecensor walked around the fountain and towards the main entrance of the house, and spoke quickly:

The owner of the house was Patrick Jason, a major shareholder in a small bank, and according to his neighbors, he was described by his neighbors as a cheerful, enthusiastic, optimistic middle-aged man who had never been married, but who should have had mistresses, several.

"In his class, he employs a severely insufficient number of servants, and every time a dinner or ball is held, he needs to call in an additional group of temporary attendants from the 'Metropolitan Association of Helping Domestic Servants', to which he explains that he has trouble sleeping, and that too many servants will spoil the silence he needs. ”

"It was evident that he had many secrets to hide, so he did not dare to hire too many servants. Isenger said half-jokingly.

Klein, who had not hired a single servant, said a little humbly:

"Maybe it's just because his finances aren't as good as everyone thinks. ”

"Yes, this is a factor that cannot be ruled out. Isenger stepped up the stairs to the front door.

Iconser glanced at Klein and said abruptly:

"You don't hire servants, but only have the landlord's maid do the temporary cleaning twice a week, just to hide the secret that you are extraordinary?"

Of all my secrets, this is the least ...... Klein deliberately smiled bitterly:

"Yes. ”

As he spoke, Iconse reached out and pushed open the main door, and an indescribable stench wafted from inside.

"The smell of rot ......," Issinger judged in an instant.

Iconser called over to a member of the "Heart of the Machine" team:

"Carlson, what did you find?"

The extraordinary, Carlson, wore a pair of glasses with thick lenses, and said with a complicated look on his face:

"We found a lot of bodies here.

"In the cement of the basement, in the thick walls, in the overgrown weeds of the garden, there are corpses hidden one after another, the earliest probably dating back more than a decade, and the latest the servants who were still alive a few days ago.

"Some of them are only bones, some of them are just a little rotten, deacon, this is like a human slaughterhouse!"

As he spoke, corpses were pulled out by members of the "Heart of the Machine" and hand-picked police officers behind him.

Some of the corpses were completely dismembered, tongues, fingers, stomach pouches, eyes, etc., messed together, and some were just piles of white bones.

"It seems that many of Beckland's disappearances will be solved as a result. Isenger pinched his nose and sighed.

Crane let out a sigh of relief at the sight of a intestine that had almost dragged to the ground, and turned his head to examine the situation around the house.

Carlson, a member of the "Heart of the Machine", muttered two more words:

"Jason paid his servants a lot of money and gave him a lot of vacations, which were the envy of the servants of the surrounding residents...... Jason's chef also promised his kids that he would come home once this week and take him to the circus to see a show......"

"What a demon...... Caslana was slightly moved.

Looking around, Klein restrained his emotions and asked solemnly:

"Why is the furnishings of the house so shabby?

"As a banker, even if he owns a small bank, Jason should have fine porcelain, excellent paintings, extravagant wall clocks, and all sorts of things made of fine silk, why can't you see these things on the spot? Well, the wood used for his furniture is still very good. ”

Carlson glanced at Deacon Iconser and received an approved bow before he said:

It can be clearly seen that Jason has been planning for a long time for this revenge, selling valuable and inconspicuous items in the room one after another, and even agreeing to the acquisition of his own property by the Bank of Bavaat.

After killing the servant, he sped up his cash and sold oil paintings and other things, as if he knew very well that he would definitely be found, and did not take chances. ”

"Before the operation, all he had left was his house, furniture and an identity, and he didn't know where he had moved a lot of cash, precious metals and jewelry. ”

After listening to Carlson's description, a few adjectives popped up in Klein's mind:

Calm, sane and crazy!

"A real demon. "He is very clear-headed, very calm, but he also has a strong tendency to madness and a sense of adventure, which is in line with the characteristics of the previous two actions." ”

"So, we have to watch out for his adventures?" Klein keenly grasped the point of Detective Stanton's words.

"Yes. Isenger nodded.

Next, several detectives searched the house and found a lot of evidence that Patrick Jason had a problem, as well as the portrait hanging in the living room.

Above is a middle-aged man with high cheekbones, blue eyes with gray, ordinary facial features, and neat hair combed back, without any features.

Just then, Iconser came in and said to Klein and the others:

"We found some items in a secret room that confirmed that Patrick Jason had tried to summon more powerful demons but somehow failed, and those items confirmed his identity, that he was a member of the demon family of Belial, and his real name was supposed to be Jason Belial. ”

The Berial family?Klein nodded unsurprised.

"In the ancient Quaternary Period, the demon-worshipping human forces formed a loose alliance called the 'Blood Cult', and the internal division of this organization was very serious, and the three demon families of North, Andrerad, and Belial stood on their feet, and their ancestors all received gifts from the abyss, and they worshipped an evil god called the 'dark side of the universe', believing that he was the master of the abyss, and that he was the destroyer who would surely erode and corrupt the entire vast universe of the real world. Isinger introduced Klein and Kaslana to the Wild Extraordinary.

Iconse shook his head and added:

"A deeply divided organization is not eventually divided, and merging and unification are inevitable, and various circumstances and rumors indicate that since at least a thousand years ago, Beria and the Andrelade family have gradually weakened, and in recent decades have become vassals of the North family, well, the emblem of the Beria family is a combination of the pentagram and the abstract symbol of the sheep's horn. ”

In any case, Beria is still a deep, unusually old family, no wonder Jason can raise an additional demon dog, hey, this is one reason, and the other reason is that he opened a bank, even if it is not big...... In the Second Age, the ancient god corresponding to the "dark side of the universe" was the demon king Fabuti, is there any connection between the two? Crane sighed and wondered.

After repeated searches, the three detectives and the members of the "Mechanical Heart" were only able to confirm that Patrick Jason was the "Apostle of Desire", but were unable to locate the other party's current location.

Under the pretext of asking for help, Crane took a handkerchief that Jason had used in the demon-summoning ritual, intending to have a chance to go to the gray mist for divination—something Jason handled very well with the things he often touched.

It didn't take long for Iconse to find them, and said with a solemn expression:

"The night watchman is going to come with the seal, let's leave first. ”

"Okay. Esinger and Kaslana replied at the same time.

As for Klein, he had already raised his hands and feet in his heart in approval.

After leaving Jason's villa-type house, which had a large footprint, Klein glanced back, his expression gradually calming.

He said with a little confusion:

"I don't think there's a problem right. ”

"What's the problem?" asked Kaslana quickly.

Klein pondered and said: "Selling the bank, selling the property, and selling many valuable items in advance shows that Jason was ready to give up his current identity and life in advance, and if he was just to avenge the demon dog, the motive could not support such an act." ”

"Maybe he has a very deep bond with that demon dog? Sherlock, you probably don't think so, but I've really seen people who treat their pets as family members. Kaslana said disapprovingly.

Isinger next to him said solemnly:

"No, Sherlock is right.

"Kaslana, do you know what the ancient name of 'Demon' Pathway Sequence 8 is?"

Kaslana had a thoughtful expression, she seemed to have heard but couldn't remember it at first.

At this moment, Klein answered in a deep voice:

"Cold-blooded. ”

Cold-Blooded ...... Kaslana chewed on the name, and suddenly understood why the two great detectives, Moriarty and Stanton, had just said that.

Seeing her reaction, Klein pointed in another direction and said:

"We went our separate ways, starting with our own channels. ”

After receiving an affirmative reply from Issinger and Kaslana, he hurried away, but did not rush to find Emlyn White in the south side of the bridge.

He had to go to the Hissac police station first and get the £50 bail back.

He has been shown to have no problems, and Eisinger Stanton and the official Extraordinaire have testified accordingly.
