Chapter 13: The Bloody Case Resumes
"The male deceased, who was about 50 to 55 years old, was split in two by a huge tearing force from the middle of the thoracic vertebrae, and was killed on the spot...... "Although the weather was very cold, Deacon was wiping the sweat from his head at this time, listening to the report of his subordinates.
The scene of the murder was in the bedroom, a very spacious bedroom, large enough to fit the living space of some civilian's family. The exact number of deaths is not yet confirmed because the bodies are all fragmented, but at least there are more than five people. The scene inside the room was like a slaughterhouse, and even though most of the stumps had been removed, the residual blood, bodily fluids, and some slippery substance of unknown things still gave off a disgusting smell.
Paper Man came in through the door: "Okay, okay, this familiar smell......" He frowned as soon as he took a step in, and pulled the neckline of his trench coat up a bit.
Deacon looked back and said, "How did you get out of the hospital?"
Paper Man said: "I went to the HL branch to do something just now, and then I received the news there, since they are all here, tell me about it." β
"I left the hospital, picked a restaurant, and as soon as I sat down and ordered two dishes, the chief called me and told me in the tone that the Black Death had broken out in the city, that something was wrong. β
The paper man said: "Ah, noble...... I think it was Baron Giuseppe's mansion. β
Deacon continued, "He must have died in the early hours of this morning, and the servant, as is customary, did not knock until noon, and there was no response, and then he smelled a strange smell. β
"Looking at these marks, the baron is not the only one who died. Paper Man crouched down to examine the bloodstains.
Deacon said: "Ah, the baron must be dead, the part above his chest is still relatively intact, you can confirm it from his face, what about the others...... Maybe four, or maybe five women. β
"Oh, if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will have a group of wives and concubines. Paper Man sneered: "This huge bedroom, soundproofed on six sides, the maid 'customarily' didn't knock on the door until noon, it seems that it was a night and night singing, and he died a well-deserved death." β
"Don't comment on his style of life now, there are so many nobles who live like this, let's do our job well. Deacon also occasionally said a few words that were quite sincere, apparently he didn't want Paper Man to make some inappropriate remarks in public.
The paper man didn't care: "Of course, of course, this is how it should be, but I don't think there's much work to be done here, judging from this scene alone, it's already very obvious who killed someone." β
Deacon wasn't stupid either, and he continued, "The one at the Copper Parrot Bar?"
Paper Man said: "His name is Blood Lord." β
Deacon hurriedly asked, "Do you have a clue to his whereabouts?"
Paper Man smiled bitterly: "No, even if there is, I can't catch him." He said and was about to leave: "I have to admit that Jim was right about what he said to me, and the prisoner of danger level 4 can only let HL send rescuers." β
............
That night, Jim Malone's office.
When Paper Man visited, Malone and Faro had been waiting for a long time.
"Sorry, I'm late. Paper Man said this to Faro, with his friendship with Ma Long, there is no need to be so polite.
"It's okay, we didn't wait long. β
The paper man also sat down and said: "I have seen the scene, Giuseppe is undoubtedly a blood lord." β
Malone lit his cigar again: "What do you think his purpose is?"
"According to normal people's thinking, what he did this time is at best to do the right thing for heaven, and at worst to eliminate harm for the people." β
Faro cleared his throat, "Mr. Ness, be careful about your wording. β
Paper Man shrugged his shoulders and turned to say, "But in my opinion, there is no point in speculating about his purpose. I didn't have much contact with him, but I was pretty sure he wasn't a normal person, but a complete lunatic. He does whatever he wants, daring to kill anyone, anytime, anywhere, for any purpose, or for no purpose at all. He said to Faro, "You heard the conversation between the Blood Lords and Botrini that night, and he killed not only the ordinary thugs in the bar, but also the priests of the Iron Commandment. The Inspector General of the Holy City, with the flag bearer and a group of warlike knights, came to seek revenge with great fanfare, and it can be seen that he has definitely killed a lot, maybe thirty, fifty? Who knows, do you think there will be that kind of lone person in this world who has the ability to be alone and somehow to form a bond with steel discipline? Think about it, if you, or I, like him, have no legal identity and no position, would you dare to do such a thing?"
Faro pondered for a moment, then replied, "Judging from this case, the blood lord is still in Venice, and he is indeed different from a normal wanted criminal, and after the events of that night, ordinary people must choose to hide for a while, and wait for the limelight to pass before waiting for an opportunity to leave the city. But he committed another bloody crime after more than a month.
I think this is also something that can be exploited, and since he is so rampant, or in terms of personality, then we will mobilize forces far beyond his imagination to hunt him down with all our might. Let this murderer with no one in his eyes see the horror of HL's upper combat power. β
"Do you have a plan or a candidate?"
Faro said: "I plan to contact the Luca instructor at the headquarters, that Lord is my mentor, if he is willing to come to Venice to help us, even if he is a blood lord, he will die without a place to be buried." β
At this moment, the phone on Ma Long's desk rang again, and he just picked it up, and before he could say half a word, the other side shouted in a trembling voice: "Ma...... Colonel Malone...... Total...... Governor ......"
The expressions of the three people at the desk changed sharply, could it be that something happened to the governor?
"The Governor's son...... It has just been confirmed that he has been killed!" the man finally finished.
Although this is also bad news, the good thing is that the governor is fine, which makes people break out in a cold sweat.
Paper Man got up and said, "Okay, I'll take a look, but as far as I guess, there's no one else who would do this kind of thing." β
Faro couldn't sit still: "I'm going to contact Instructor Luca now, hoping to stop him before this madman kills all the dignitaries in Venice." β
Ma Long, the eldest of the three, did have the demeanor of a general, he put down his cigar and said with a solemn expression: "The work of mobilizing troops for support, as well as all those aftermath matters, will be handled by me." Until the strength to defeat the Blood Lords is assembled, the safety of the city depends on the two. He is just a person, to put it bluntly, he is a powerful and brutal murderer, but people are human beings after all, there is no individual in this world who cannot be defeated, we can't mess with ourselves, we have to do things according to the rules. β
Both of them answered, walked out of the office, and went their separate ways.
Faro walked alone in the corridor, thinking back to the scene when he first came here a month ago, just getting off the plane, the jet lag was a fierce battle before the jet lag was reversed, at least two people who were above him in one night, and then he was wounded, and then there was a series of reports after the incident, countless questions to be answered, countless lies to be announced, and to this day, the serial bloodbath has been rekindled......
In the past month, Faro has also secretly investigated many interesting things, such as the relationship between Paper Man and Ma Long, and the history, the two served in the same army twelve years ago, and eight years ago, after four years of chaotic fighting on the South African continent, the two returned alive and triumphantly. Ma Long was originally an officer, and he was promoted several ranks, and was transferred to this branch of HL as the top officer, and Paper Man actually went to work as a police officer.
Now it seems that this water city can really be described as a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and the dispatch of the army that night, as well as a series of leaky information blockades and diplomatic wording afterwards, can all show Jim Malone's ability to do things, and a person with this talent is far more useful to the empire than a person with the ability to fight.
And the paper man seriously hurt Faro's self-esteem, this ability who has not undergone any HL intensive training, is also a strong level, but far surpasses him, which can only be said to be a gap in talent. If Paper Man also joins HL, his current military rank is very likely to be one level higher than Faro.
Although these thoughts are quite concerning, Faro does not have the energy and time to delve into the details of these two now, and the most important thing in front of him is to hunt down the blood lord, this demon king of the mixed world has been wandering outside for a day, and he has to sleep with one eye open.
He quickly returned to his room, turned on the video communication screen, and connected to a name named Luca......
............
Fifteen minutes later, as soon as Paper Man arrived at the door of the Governor's Son's mansion, he bumped into Deacon, the fat man who looked like he was about to go crazy, anxious, and without a master.
"Elot!Do you know what's going on?If you know, hurry up and think of a way to make the whole bureau lose their jobs?!"
Paper Man only thought it was funny: "You calm down, don't worry, you can treat these cases as some kind of natural disaster that is beyond human resistance, and HL will soon send god-like guys to solve everything." β
Recently, no one has reported any robbery, burglary, or sex crime for a long time, and in addition to posting a search notice to people to find a few drunkards who do not return home at night, there are almost no hooligan fights at night, and I thought that the crime rate had dropped significantly, and the social atmosphere was a good and harmonious scene, but as soon as you were discharged from the hospital, suddenly there was an incident in the city that killed two nobles in a row in one day, and I said that you were cursed with some voodoo! It's okay to go back to the hospital and lie down for a few more days!"
Paper Man didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked to the big house, "You've finished the survey, I'll go in and take a look at the scene, and I'll see you in the bureau later." β
Deacon gestured his middle finger, roared a few times, and went back with a few of the officers who were with him. Paper Man walked all the way to the house, and the rest of the police officers at the scene knew him, so they didn't stop him.
This time, the corpse at the scene had not yet been transported, and the Governor Gongzi, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, his whole body was twisted like a wrung out towel, this twisted corpse, the bones were dislocated from the body, the expression was extremely twisted and painful, and a large pool of blood stains spread on the ground.
The Doge of Venice had a son in his old age, he was already in his sixties this year, and according to Paper Man's estimates, the old man's emotions should be three steps in the coming period: griefβ anger β madness.
Of course, he can't care about this, the paper man at this time, his mood is already different from the past, he no longer only has the idea of "justice", and the identity and duties of the police have long been put aside by him.
Beneath the increasingly frivolous attitude, and the decadent and indifferent surface, another emotion is quietly growing in Paper Man's heart, and will change the fate of the rest of his life in the not-so-distant future.
