Chapter 4: Makeover
Pong~
The teacup fell to the ground, shattered into pieces and scattered in all directions due to the violent impact.
Jim Adams, the director of the Bureau of Aliens in Renas City, walked up to several of his subordinates, the anger in his eyes undisguised, his face darkened with the darkness of the night and the restless rain outside the window.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be five of them if I count what I found this morning, right?"
Due to the extreme suppression of a certain emotion, the momentum on Jim Adams's body even froze his breath.
Awakened-level powerhouses are already at the top of the city...... In fact, this is true in most cities.
"Yes, Director. β
As the department that manages all the special events in Renas City, they are naturally responsible for solving the recent series of serial murders.
"The Davy family, the Britz family, etc., the situation of these families and the relationship behind them, I think you should know...... Does anyone not know?"
As if he had suddenly thought of something, Jim took two steps back, sat down on his desk, with a part of his left leg hanging on the edge of the table, and asked as he picked up a cigarette and lit one for himself.
"As we know, almost all of the victims are connected to the Taros family, and they are also involved in some black businesses in the city of Renas......"
Boom!
The heavy sound of stepping on the ground suddenly sounded, and the person who spoke one second ago was lifted by the neck the next second, his feet off the ground, and his face soon turned red from lack of oxygen.
"Since you know, why hasn't there been any progress so far, the inquiry call from the Talos family has just been directly called to my office, do you know what that means?"
Jim's figure was inexplicably taller than before, and he lifted his subordinate to a parallel position to himself, looked at the pain and pleading in the other party's eyes, and then said,
"That hateful wild dog, he is already threatening my status, if I can't show my worth, I will be given up by that adult, if I lose the position of the director of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, you people as my henchmen, I shouldn't need to remind you of the consequences!"
Speaking of which, Jim put the man down again, breathed a long sigh of relief, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm in a bad mood, you know, there's been a lot of troubles lately, you won't hate me, right?"
"The director's rebuke is the cultivation of his subordinates, how dare his subordinates have resentment!"
No matter where you are, there is always no shortage of sycophants, no matter what you think in your heart, you still have to show the standard posture of a dog's leg on the surface.
"Let's talk about it, what new discoveries are there, I don't want to mention those clichΓ©s with the news agency, I want to know the most real situation!"
Settling back in his position, legs resting on the table, Jim's face hidden in the smoke.
"At present, we can confirm that the murderer in these cases is the same person, this person should be a powerful outlaw who will leave a sign at the scene after the murder, and I have asked people to take a photo, which is in the file bag in front of you. β
"Go on. β
He opened the file bag, took out the photos in it and looked at it carefully, but continued to speak.
"At present, we are going to trace the origin of this special mark and the investigation of the recent appearance of aliens in the city of Renas, and the second is to find out the motives of the murderer through the commonalities between the victims...... Director, there's a saying I don't know......"
"Say!"
"As you know, there are some peculiar commonalities between the current victims, and the translation on the stone tablet that was recently unearthed in the city of Renas ......"
Some words are half enough, and saying them too clearly will seem redundant.
Since Jim can be the director of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation, his ability is naturally no problem, and when his subordinate mentions it slightly, he immediately understands the meaning, and immediately thinks of the content of the translation and the fit in the current incident.
"Do you mean that someone is imitating the translation of the tablet to commit a crime, or that there really is some black-robed sage?"
Jim himself was born and raised in the non-religious area, and he was not interested in some religious matters, and although he was concerned about the Lost Slate, it was only concerned, and in his opinion it was nothing more than that the news agencies had nothing to report, so he randomly found a meaningless thing to promote some special content all day long, so as to attract those stupid civilians.
"Director, in fact, we don't need to care what the murderer is, we just need to know his intentions, since his style of action has the meaning of moving closer to the translation......"
"As long as you find someone who is similar to the victim in terms of status, status and power, it is possible to find the murderer!"
"That's right, your idea is exactly the same as the arrest plan that a few of us came up with, we have made a list, there are not many families in a similar situation to the current victim families, we can squat and guard. β
Since the topic was at that, he immediately took the paper out of his pocket and sent it over.
"These people focus on taking care of each other, each of you leads your own team to squat, I want you to find the murderer as quickly as possible!"
Jim scanned the list of lives, then picked up a pen and circled the names of several of them, and with his current position, he naturally knew more inside information than these men.
Several people took the papers, and without saying more, they left the director's office one after another.
Without Jim's power and oppression, several people straightened their waists a lot, and gathered in the conference room of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau to discuss the next task arrangement.
That's right, Jim Adams is just a person who gives the general direction in the Anomaly, he doesn't care how the people below him do it, he doesn't want the process, just the result.
When encountering such a boss, the investigation team leaders in these abnormal bureaus don't know whether to be happy or sad......
"Let's squat one at a time for the time being, Hubbard, you go and take charge of the Raphael family. β
"Why me?"
The man with the brown beard frowned, he knew a little bit about the Raphael family.
On the surface, he runs the textile industry, but secretly does a lot of shady things, and among the few people on this paper, he is the one with the highest probability of being found.
As for why he was unhappy, it was naturally because the murderer's record was really a bit appalling, after all, they were all people who had gone to the scene to investigate, and those guards and family members who were all killed by one blow were enough to prove that the murderer's strength was extremely strong.
If you really meet on a narrow road, of course, it is a great credit to be able to kill or capture the murderer alive, but what if you can't beat it?
He himself certainly didn't want to be on the list of sacrifices.
"I heard that there is a very strong newcomer in your team recently, a dual-talent melee alien at the power level, it seems to be named Anthony Clive, there is such a person, what's wrong with you squatting a person with a high possibility? β
Renus's Anomaly Bureau has recently recruited a group of people, and this Anthony Clive is one of them, and he has shown amazing strength in the evaluation.
"Okay...... Let me first declare that if the case is solved, you will all remember my credit!"
"Is it okay to talk about this kind of thing after the case is solved? It's not you who was choked!"
Before the case had any signs, the credit was raised here, which soon attracted the dissatisfaction of others, and for a while they were sneering at each other.
That is the end of the meeting.
After all, no one wants to be angry in this kind of rainstorm and still be in the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau.
......
On the other side, Donald was discussing things with a few "strangers".
"It's not hard to remember what you look like, but it's hard to piece together what you are like and what I remember. β
Donald took his coffee, his gaze swept over the faces of several of the changed men, and finally landed on the illusion potion placed on the table beside him.
There are five people in the team, and now he is still the same as before.
This is something that can't be helped, they are already wanted by the Righteous Sect when they escape from the Inquisition of the Righteous Sect, not to mention that the Holy Son Soul they brought with them has caused that kind of accident, although it is not known what the consequences will be for the time being, but it is certain that the Righteous Sect will definitely not let them go.
In addition, since Demingham's side dared to trap them, after learning that they were not dead, they would definitely find a way to find their whereabouts and eliminate those of them who knew part of the truth of the matter.
So if you want to continue to develop in Renas, Donald and the others will have to change their faces!
Fortunately, this was originally planned, and Donald already had the Illusion Fruit in his hand, and someone had shown him in Dmingham that it was not too difficult to find a pharmacist to configure it on the way back from Rapagade.
"Appearance is secondary, just don't call the wrong name, so let's use the original name, but the surname is the same as mine, change it to a new one. β
Compared with before, the facial lines are tougher, the nose is more erect, and the ears are made into a pair of attractive ears, Anthony looks at a few new faces, and there is a little smile on his face.
"Hey, I'm not worried about that now, I'm actually more worried about what will happen to my face...... It's good for you to change as you like, even if you change gender, it's no problem, I can't, I have to look at that guy's side, in case it's an ugly guy, when I look in the mirror, maybe I'll die awkwardly. β
Donald picked up the transfiguration potion and shook it gently, his eyes full of helplessness.
"If you're ugly, I'm going to have to reorganize our relationship. β
Stephanie, who had made herself look like a black-haired black-eyed figure according to Donald's idea, teased beside her.
Despite knowing that Stephanie did it on purpose, Donald cooperated by slumping in his chair and rolling his eyes.
There was another burst of laughter in the room......
