I was sleepy, brushed my teeth, took the letter from him, and went away without saying a word.

Lamia put her arms around me from behind and asked, "Who is it, dear?" ”

I said, "I'll see who sent the letter?" ”

The messenger was Michael, and when he opened the envelope, the words inside were full of bells and whistles, and Michael wrote: "Dear Longinus.

It is with great regret that I inform you that the trip to the Transamericana Pyramid has had to be postponed. The Evil Statue of Ix has evil intentions left in it and must be dealt with carefully.

I have consulted the venerable Duke of Macon, who knows an exorcist who is well versed in the occult, and who lives at 60 Hecot Street on the fifteenth floor, and asks me to invite him to my house on my behalf.

You may be worried about Valkyrie United's errand today, no, I have asked Lesteel for your leave. ”

Lamia sighed, "He has made you a servant." ”

I said, "It's 'the best human friend.'" But it's also a good thing, I can get away with a day's tolerance." ”

The fifteenth floor is the lower floor, and the residents are all humble and hard-working people, trying their best to stay in the black coffin, whispering and living cautiously. But I've also heard of tyrannical forces, sneaky trades, shady scandals, and goods that are banned by the Black Coffin.

It's like the narrowest and most hidden corner of the mansion, where too much dust is gathered that can't be cleaned up.

Lamia frowned, "Do you want me to send a few Rangers to accompany you?" ”

I hurriedly said, "I don't want to pay the pension, forget it." ”

"You've been promoted to captain," said Lamia, "and it's better that someone follow you, and I'll let Salvador follow you." ”

I smiled and said, "That's not bad, I happen to be familiar with him." ”

Either way, El Salvador is certainly more familiar with the Black Coffin than I am.

When Betty heard that we were going to the fifteenth floor, she immediately made a list of purchases, because the small goods on the fifteenth floor were rich and varied, and some special snacks were also very cheap.

I said, "We're going to work, not to travel." ”

Betty said, "I'm talking to Sammy, and besides, Longi, you're a big guy anyway, so you don't have to be so rigid." ”

Her yin and yang weirdness made me secretly unhappy, and I thought, "One day, I will break you up with Salvador and make you regret it." ”

We went to the first floor to take the elevator and happened to see Misser, who was very surprised and said, "I happened to be looking for you." ”

I told him that luck was not bad, and it happened that I was going to the fifteenth floor on a business trip today, and it was estimated that it would not take long, which was equivalent to giving me half a day off.

"That's good," said Milser, "for you are taking me around, lest people think I am a spy." ”

I laughed and said, "Haven't I become a mole?" ”

Misser sighed and said, "Don't be public, keep it a secret." ”

My brother seems to be a good mixer in the Sword and Shield Society, and his sense of humor has grown significantly.

Salvatore said, "Don't worry, there's nothing secret about the fifteenth floor, and the consul can't wait to forget about it." ”

Misser said, "Salvador, right, you are Langi's brother-in-law?" ”

Both of them have an upright innocence in their personalities, and they have met many times, and they soon became familiar with each other. I had intended to train El Salvador to be a hard-hearted and resolute character, but I was so mixed up by Mirse that I was afraid that I would lead El Salvador on the right path again.

Misse said to me secretly, "I want to know about Daria. ”

I nodded and said, "If you really want to know, I'll tell you later." ”

The elevator on the fifteenth floor opened, and I was taken aback by the cries of the market vendors. This floor is a meeting place for the low-rise residents, and the streets are filled with shops and stalls, and it seems that people from all over the world are rushing here to join in the fun.

I asked Salvador, "Where is Hecote Street?" ”

Salvatore said, "Come with me." ”

I didn't go far, I met a team of patrols, led by a Ranger second lieutenant, followed by three militia hunting regiments, the militia hunting regiment is a supplement and reserve of the rangers, sharing the busy police work of the rangers, directly responsible to Ms. Tifeng, their equipment is very poor, a bit of cannon fodder.

I showed the second lieutenant my ID, and he said, "So sir, what are you doing here?" ”

I said, "Come to an exorcist, and the nobles above will see him by name." ”

The second lieutenant said, "If you are free, would it be convenient to help us investigate a murder?" ”

I admit that I am not a hard worker, and I don't want to waste that half day of vacation, but out of politeness, I ask, "What kind of murder?" ”

The second lieutenant said: "A female corpse was found in the shanty town of Mann Street, and it was ... Cruelly... Split .... Ahem, and then burned her beyond recognition. ”

I said, "I'm not in charge of the homicide investigation, I'm sorry. ”

The second lieutenant said, "The deceased was a Ranger major. ”

Salvador and I shouted in unison, "What? ”

The second lieutenant said: "There is a badge and badge she left behind at the scene, it is a Ranger major. ”

The Major has a high position in the Rangers, and there are not many of them, so why is he in the paupers? And why was he brutally killed?

I said, "Did you report to your superiors?" ”

The second lieutenant said, "It has been reported, I thought you were sent to investigate the case. ”

El Salvador whispered to me: "If someone has already taken over, we can't take care of it, lest we afford the conflict." ”

I said, "I'll go to the scene of the murder, but it's not my responsibility, you tell me the address." ”

When the second lieutenant had gone, Misser said, "The rangers are really not good, the casualty rate is too high, and even in the black coffin they are not safe. ”

Salvador said eagerly: "This is a big deal - the officers of the Ranger were tortured to death in the slums, and if this happened in the wasteland, it would be fine, but in the black coffin, it is tantamount to challenging the authority of the entire black coffin legal system, and the higher authorities will definitely demand a thorough investigation, and I think this market will be closed for a while." ”

I wondered, "Do you want to make such a big fuss?" This bazaar may not have anything to do with the murder. ”

Salvatore said: "You don't understand, the elders only need to give a slight signal, and the lower ones can only strike hard, and they are afraid that the elders will say that they are derelict in their duties, so they are too late." ”

Will this alarm the House of Elders?

I couldn't help but imagine the glory and benefit it would have been if I had solved this case—I had defended the dignity of the Rangers, avenged all my colleagues, and saved the thriving bazaar. If the recovery of Yune and the acquisition of the idol are distant and illusory deeds for the common people, then this murder that happened to them will make me a hero to the people in any case.

I said, "Let's go to the scene of the murder right away." ”

Salvatore asked, "Aren't you going to find an exorcist?" ”

I said, "Don't be brainless, listen to me, take me there." ”

At the same time, I contacted the lack of growth: "My little angel, tell me which Ranger is currently coming to investigate the case?" ”

"Le Gang has just received a report and is discussing. ”

I asked, "Can you let him know that I'm on the fifteenth floor?" ”

"It's easy, he'll get a hint," he replied. ”

Soon, a voice came from the microphone on the floor: "Captain Longinus, please rush to 3 Mann Street immediately and contact Ranger Ensign Pol." ”

Salvador was unaware of my little conspiracy with Laca, and he was surprised: "How can it be so coincidental? ”

I smiled and said, "God help me." "It's half ridiculous, I can't help but worry that if I can't solve the case, won't it be a loss of face?

Misser asked, "Why don't you laugh?" ”

I said, "Have you ever been killed?" ”

Misser said, "No, we Sword and Shield will not care about such matters. ”

I looked at El Salvador, who said, "I happened to have a few homicides, usually just ask someone to talk to, collect evidence, and then hand it over to the chief who handled the case. ”

That's hopeless, but I'm the chief.

When I arrived at the scene of the crime, I saw that the wooden shed had been burned down, and the fire fighting system of the black coffin was extremely advanced, and the fire was quickly extinguished, but the deceased had been burned to death.

Second Lieutenant Pol, the man he had met earlier, said, "Sir, we meet again. ”

I said, "Good, good, what do you think of the case?" "If this man has any insight, I might as well give him a small credit.

Pol said, "I am all at the command of the chief. A sentence pushed the question back to me, and I glared at him, and he pretended not to see.

I walked upstairs, and a burning smell came to my nose, and the dead were neatly "separated",

Milse reminded, "Your potion will enhance your senses. ”

I immediately woke up and drank the Eye of Odin, and the details in the room were a little stronger, and I saw messy marks, nails scratches on the floor, slight damage on the walls, but fortunately the fire was extinguished in time, otherwise no clues would have been left.

I said, "There was a fight here. ”

The Ranger Ensign brought a flashlight and lit up the room, revealing the details to our eyes. Misser said: "One side of the brawler is abnormal. ”

Indeed, judging from the marks on the wall, one side is a sharp weapon, but this sharp weapon is like five fingers, leaving deep cuts in some places.

In addition, I felt that the house was oppressive, cold, and disgusting, and disgusting to the bottom of my heart, and that this disgust did not come from the corpse, but from the house itself, as if it had been cursed.

The Pol shuddered, didn't say a word, and soon slipped away. Salvador's face grew paler and whiter, and he shouted, "I'm sorry! "Fleeing the road, running outside the house, breathing heavily, Milsea and I can endure it.

Misser said, "It is the Blade that protects us. ”

I said, "This house is eroding our will?" Someone has set up a wacky ritual here? ”

Misser said, "No, if you think about it, these two people are fighting here, and the corpses are decomposed and messed up, so how can the murderer have the leisure to arrange some kind of ritual in an elegant manner?" After he killed someone, he set fire to the place and fled. ”

He's not necessarily right, but at least it's better than having no clue at all.

Suddenly, I found something even more peculiar, I looked at the Major's body, and some parts of her had traces of needlework.

The fractures of her body had been stitched with stitches.

Could it be that she had been badly injured and her limbs had been stitched together with a firm stitch?

So why is the part of her skull doing the same?

Her whole person was like scattered doll parts, each of which was once held together by threads.

After the murderer killed her in horrific ways, did he try to piece her together completely?
