In the afternoon, Rodin and William set off for the coroner's workplace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two of them were silent along the way, only the sound of squirming footsteps, both sides belonged to people who didn't talk much, and most of them discussed swordsmanship in their daily lives.

Eventually, Rodin broke the silence and asked, "Have you fought monsters before, William?"

He replied lightly: "Well, when I was a soldier in the Imperial Border Army to resist the dry tide, I killed not a hundred but eighty monsters. Retired and returned to Elden, I wanted to be quiet and quiet, I had nothing to do on weekdays to enjoy the flowers, fishing, who knew that monsters were everywhere, disturbing people and clean, and I had to be a leisurely scavenger. “

"Why did you join the Yankees? The empire shouldn't treat veterans who have been through a lot of battles?"

"I'm tired, I'm tired, no matter how beautiful a girl is, it will make people tired of getting along for a long time. I'm used to fighting, killing, and quiet

It's a treat. The Yankees are not in a hurry for quick success, they are humane, and they can still practice swordsmanship with young people on weekdays to relieve the itching of skills, and take care of the elderly, isn't it?"

A cool breeze blew through, blowing the slightly gray hair in William's ears, and a sophisticated red coat exuded a different kind of tranquility, and a touch of depression and vicissitudes.

This is a man with a story, and Rodin stares at his back, his heart inexplicably quiet.

"So, are your parents, wife and children also in Elden?"

William's unhurried figure paused imperceptibly. There was a faint hatred suppressed in his indifferent tone: "A long time ago, I lost them forever. “

"Oh, please forgive me for my presumptuousness. “

The conversation ended without a hitch, and the two soon came to a two-story building with a drab gray color and a rigid shape, behind a staircase that went down, and the iron door was half-hidden.

It turned out that the morgue was underground.

The two quickly walked through the unguarded iron door, and circled around several rooms filled with coffin-shaped corpse utensils to a large iron table, where a tall man in a white apron and a mask was handling a corpse with his back to the two.

"How's it going, McCarvey?"

The coroner continued his work and said in an urned tone: "This woman is about 30 years old, and the time of death was between two and three o'clock in the morning, and the cause of death is obvious.

Strangely, her body was like a sponge that had been squeezed dry, and her body fluids were depleted, not to mention blood, almost all the moisture in her skin was gone. I heard that those pig killers like to stab the pig's neck to drain the blood, so as to remove the fishy smell from the pork and make the meat more delicious. ”

"Hey, stop and ask you about business. ”

At William's urging, the coroner put down the knife in his hand, took off his mask, and turned to face the two of them.

His first impression was that he was handsome, with a tall nose bridge, eyes as deep as the morning star, red lips, but white skin that could not see blood, ape arms and bee waist, neat and clean clothes, and exuding a gloomy aristocratic temperament all over his body.

His tone was hoarse but with an indescribable charm that made one want to hear more.

"Didn't you tell you that before, and do you want me to repeat it again?"

"Did you ask about the witness?"

"Of course, but it's worthless, he's only the first to discover the dumping site, and he hasn't been able to provide any more clues. “

William stopped questioning, walked past Coroner McCarvey, and examined the body on the platform.

Rodin looked away with only one glance, and the corpse was disemboweled, revealing its internal organs and exuding a foul smell.

"Wow. McCarvey smiled lightly, "Our kids don't seem to be used to this kind of scene. Do you want your big brother to comfort you?"

Rodan resisted the urge to vomit, and it seemed that were everywhere.

William persuaded him indifferently: "Don't worry about him, he is a madman and a pervert." “

McCarvey was full of fancy: "So you pay so much attention to me, William, it seems that we brothers are still in love." “

There was no response, and William quietly finished his investigation, called the tangled Rodin, and left the morgue directly.

"Hey, you're leaving, don't worry, chat with me more. “

The two of them didn't stop, ignoring the goosebump-inducing shouts behind them.

Rodin suddenly muttered to himself, "It's just a living vampire." “

"Oh, vampires?" William said in surprise, "It's a very expressive name, but I haven't seen it, I only know that there is a kind of monster called the Night Demon, which is also a bloodsucker." “

"Oh, I'm just making it up, just casually. Did you see the corpse and find anything?"

"Well, you probably know the bottom of your mind about the murderer?"

William said quietly, "Daredevil, or a pervert with a special fetish. ”

Rodin had seen the Night Demon in his Monster Notes, a humanoid monster with two horns and a pair of black wings. The Daredevil's body is huge, usually able to reach three meters tall, males are the majority, most of the strength levels are at the level of one star, the level of the black iron power, and a very small number of powerful individuals can reach two stars (corresponding to the bronze powerhouse).

They live in solitary groups, lurking day and night, feeding on the blood of humans and animals. It is worth mentioning that the night demons are different from the vampires on Earth in that they are not afraid of the sun, but hate it, and the light only makes them uncomfortable.

"Eh, Daredevil can mate with people?" said Rodin without hesitation.

"Of course, these brutes are very attached to the blood of humans in their climax state. William immediately sent the answer intimately, which was not recorded in the notebook.

Then Rodin fully developed the quality of shameless questioning, and cheekily continued to ask: "Why did the murderer risk being found and dump the body next to the brothel?

William took the trouble to say his speculation: "Throwing it in that position must have something to do with a brothel, a warning, or a purely perverted act." ”

muttered in a low voice: "That **** is not necessarily the night demon." ”

"I think the brothel girls should know something. ”

Soon, the two returned to the brothel without stopping.

Business here is very hot on weekdays, but today it is deserted and full of people. Prostitutes with fancy, big breasts and fat buttocks wandered around the hall boredly. In this place, the girls do not take the initiative to go up to talk to someone, but stay in their own place, dance, perform, scratch their heads, attract customers to come automatically, the two negotiate the price, and after paying, they can go to the bedroom on the second floor.

When Rodin entered the brothel for the first time, he felt a little apprehensive in his heart, as if there was a fire in his chest, and his body trembled slightly. William discovered his abnormality, couldn't help but smile, and joked for the first time: "I didn't expect you to be an innocent little virgin, are you interested in opening meat, putting down the case, and refreshing it first?"

Secretly calmed down the restless mood, in fact, at first worked in Melissa's tavern, and rubbed shoulders with prostitutes all day long, it stands to reason that he should have been used to the temptation of these women, but after not being in contact for a while, his heart still couldn't help but make waves.

He hesitated to refuse, "No kidding, William, it's important to get down to business. ”

William didn't know what bad taste had erupted, and he joked unrelentingly until Rodin's face flushed.

Then the two of them casually found a prostitute in a tight leather coat and an unusually majestic chest to talk,

"Do you want to have a fun with the two guests, I Jinna will not refuse to come, and three people can also do it. ”

"Well, actually, we're from the Yankees, and we're looking for you to investigate something. “

"Alas, although it is afternoon, but from morning to now, there is not a single guest today, can you take care of my business first, and go to the second floor together, I promise to answer all questions, so that you can be happy." “

"Seriously, I'm down to business. “

William scolded the prostitute twice and asked, "You all know about the murder at noon today, right?"

The prostitute Jinna said helplessly: "Alas, it can make people angry to death. It's not good to throw the corpse somewhere, but it was thrown next to the brothel, early in the morning, the guests were woken up, one by one frightened, who would dare to come?"

William lowered his voice and asked, 'Has anyone been missing from the brothel lately?'

"What you said, that corpse is shriveled like an old woman, which of our girls here is not like a flower and jade, and she has an excellent figure, I don't believe you can just find a touch. “

As she spoke, Jinna provocatively pushed her chest forward majestically and approached the two of them.

William didn't seem to see her movements, and said without changing his eyes: "You answer me first, have any girls asked for leave in the past two days, or have they not come to work?"

"Well, I really don't know, you have to ask Miss Misha. “

Sister Misha, a middle-aged woman in her thirties who is still charming, is also the person in charge of this brothel, and when the two appeared in front of her, there was a moment of panic on her face.

Rodin, who wore an eye patch and carried a big sword, acted as a villain, and stepped forward to ask fiercely: "Misha, we are from the Yankee gang, and we were ordered to investigate the female corpse incident." ”

"After our investigation, this corpse is from your brothel!"

"Ahh The middle-aged woman was so frightened that she shuddered.

"This big brother, you can't talk nonsense, you are serious about a small business, and you can't stand your toss. ”

"My words are truer than real gold. There's a girl who hasn't been here for the past two days, right?"

"How do you know?"

Misha looked like she was hell, and William and William looked at her with blazing eyes, until she no longer concealed it, "Don't hide it from the two masters, there is a girl who has just been working for two months, she has always come early in the morning, and she hasn't come here at this hour today." ”

"The corpse had nothing to do with her. ”

"Shriveled huh, I'll tell you she was sucked dry of blood by something to get like that!"

"This,"

There was a hint of panic on Misha's face, and there was nothing to hide.

The two looked at each other, tacitly.

"Which girl's name, address, is from the truth. ”
