Chapter Eighty-Seven: Obvious Anomaly
Since he was the only one to do the mission this time, Barry didn't delay much in the Security Bureau, and planned to go directly to the mission location.
Phoenixine had just described the mission to Barry, and her tone was flat and there weren't many ups and downs, as if it were a trivial matter to her.
Things are probably like this, James's wife died of illness at home some time ago, and due to the customs of Bauhinia Market, after filing the case with the police station, James directly buried his wife's body.
But in the past few days, his wife has appeared at home every night, and James at first thought it was a prank or a hallucination, but then he suddenly realized that it was true, and his wife really appeared every night.
Frightened, he quickly called the police, because James's family is quite wealthy and has a certain social status, so although the police station thinks he is talking nonsense, they still accompany him home to investigate.
As a result, after the sheriff inspected James's home one by one, he still found nothing unusual.
Moreover, there were no casualties, and no one else saw the return of James's wife, everything was what James himself said, and the police intended to end the case directly.
However, money can make ghosts grind, and large tax payers have privileges, so under James's unrelenting entanglement, the police station really had no choice but to submit the matter to the Security Bureau.
Regardless of whether there is a resentful spirit, even if there is a resentful spirit, it has been several days, and there is still not a single murder, so it was evaluated as the lowest case by the Security Bureau, and Barry was easily caught and took over the case.
The helper that Phoenix wanted to find for Barry was a trainee spellcaster, and in the caster's circle, this kind of person has no real profession, but has a certain amount of transcendent knowledge, and is generally called an apprentice.
They can rely on certain foreign objects, and can cast some small spells to deal with low-level mobs such as ordinary ghosts, water ghosts, etc.
However, since the spiritual attribute has now reached the limit of ordinary people, only relying on the spiritual impact, or attaching the spiritual power to the fist, can solve the resentful spirit, so Phoenix has canceled his apprentice teammate.
Since he watched many episodes of Conan in his previous life, Barry understands that as long as such an unreasonable thing happens, there will definitely be murders.
And considering the existence of extraordinary abilities in this world, coupled with his experience of barely being the protagonist, there must be a lot of hidden secrets in this ordinary-sounding event.
But Barry doesn't care, after all, he is now fully equipped and in just right condition, and this is his first mission to join the Security Agency, so there must be twists and turns in the process, but the result should be good.
After all, how can there be a protagonist who dies directly in the first case, it is impossible.
The whole Bauhinia City is divided into six urban districts, which are simply summarized as the east is rich in the west, the south is cheap in the north, and the commercial suburbs are idle.
And as a rich man, the owner of a small factory, James's home is naturally in Xicheng District, which is the so-called rich area.
Since it was still early in the morning and Phoenix didn't have a time, Barry planned to walk over and check along the way to see if there were any shops selling quirky materials.
On the way to the super pet store from Barry's home just now, he didn't find this kind of shop, so Barry still wanted to look for it, after all, if he could buy employment materials with money, he wouldn't have to spend credit points to exchange them at the Security Bureau.
After all, credit is not worth earning, and it can be used in more important ways, compared to the fact that there are too many sources of gold gallons.
However, Barry's luck was good, and when he was about to leave the downtown area, he did find a shop that sells strange things - "Papa Antique Shop".
Why did Barry know that this antique shop might sell the materials he wanted? It was a huge plaque in front of the store.
Below the name of the shop, there is a more detailed introduction: "Our shop has a variety of antiques, such as totem poles from primitive societies, monster teeth from swamps, ...... of exotic animals and plants, man-eating flowers from the tropical rainforest, poison dart frogs with bloody throats, and ......."
Looking at the introduction of this "daddy antique shop", Barry felt that as long as one tenth of it was reliable, he could make up more than half of his [Hunter] professional potions.
However, Barry didn't go in directly to inquire now, as for the reason, of course, it was shy, after all, after entering the store, people had all the things, but they couldn't come up with the money, and the scene was too embarrassing.
How could Barry, a face-loving person, accept such a scene.
"It's better to complete the mission first, then knock some money from the mission objective, and then go to the store to buy and buy."
"No, how can it be called blackmail, it should be the cost of transportation and horses to help him solve the problem, tea and water, I ran so far and didn't give some hard-earned money, is that still a person?"
With the goal of making money, Barry is more motivated, and the frequency of his legs is faster, and it doesn't take long for Barry to come to Xicheng District, and after walking around Xicheng District for a while, Barry finds his target location.
The entire Xicheng District is not smaller than the other five urban districts, but there are too few residents in it, not even hundreds of manors, if it is not close to the center of the city, Barry would still think that this is a suburb.
"No. 23, Third Street, Xicheng District, that's right, this is it."
Barry looked at the building in front of him, the area of the entire manor was about four or five times that of Barry's house, and the exterior decoration was also very exquisite, which made people directly understand that the owner of the house was a rich man.
If the location of Barry's house is expressed by the number of rings, it can probably be regarded as the fourth ring road in the suburbs, and the location here is within the second and third ring roads, so their house is still larger than Barry's.
"These hateful capitalists, I don't know how much workers' blood and sweat have been looted, it is really infuriating, and they will charge him a little more money for a while, and be a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor."
"As for who is poor, then you don't need to ask, of course it is Uncle Barry who doesn't have a gold galleon in his body."
"Ding Dong"
With a mouth full of lemons, Barry rang the doorbell at the door, waiting for the servant to open it.
After all, this kind of capitalist will definitely hire a lot of servants, otherwise you still expect him to be able to take care of his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, so won't their money be earned in vain?
However, this time Barry waited a little long, and just when Barry was a little anxious and was about to ring the doorbell a few more times, there was finally some movement on the other side of the door.
"Squeak, squeak"
The big iron door in front of the bar slowly opened, and at the same time made some noise, I don't know if the servant was lazy, and he didn't apply lubrication to the door shaft for a long time, and the condition of the door didn't look very good, and it was a little rusty.
Barry looked at the man who opened the door in front of him, and saw that he was about twenty years old, with a pale face, blank eyes, and a look of indulgence... Bah... Haggard look.
only has upright facial features, and it can be vaguely seen that it should be a beautiful man.
"But of course it's much worse than me."
Although Barry boasted about his appearance in his mind, he was already wary in his heart.
"The belated open-door servant has such a bad complexion, if there is nothing strange in this manor, it is a complete insult to people's intelligence."
"I don't know how sloppy the sheriff who investigated before was, and he couldn't even find such an obvious anomaly."
The haggard man in front of him, looking at the young Barry at the door, asked in a hoarse and low voice.
"Is there anything you can do?"
