"I didn't expect Mr. Grant to become a 'corpse collector', and obviously know the 'playing method', where did he get the potion formula and related knowledge?" Abner habitually pinched his chin and thought with some uncertainty, "Is it really the Spirit Order?" Well, I remember that in the novel, the Spirit Order had a nominal head in Beckland, named Patrick Blaine...... Wait, Brian? That Mr. Bryan who made Jane's dad look up so much? ”

At this moment, Abner finally combined reality with the storyline of the novel, and glimpsed a glimmer of the truth of the matter.

Hugh thinks that Mr. Grant, while theoretically solid, is naïve in his attitude towards the extraordinary world...... That's fine, if he's really the one Miss Courier calls 'that...... Immortal...... Target...... If Mr. Bryan of the fool ...... 'leads into the extraordinary road, then it is normal! After all, Mr. Bryan is just a by-product of the 'Artificial Death' project, a quick outcast, and he himself has little understanding of the extraordinary state of the world today. ”

After thinking about this, Abner decided to end this investigation immediately, after all, that Mr. Bryan was a parallel import, no matter how clever he was, and he was also a real demigod, how dare he investigate the matter involving this big man in a sequence 9. What's more, sooner or later, this demigod will become a real goddess believer, and it is not a big problem for Mr. Grant to follow him.

Hugh looked at Abner's uncertain face and asked a little strangely, "Is there any problem?" ”

Abner shook his head, not intending to tell her what he had guessed, lest she add to her annoyance.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to say anything, Hugh didn't ask, but turned to another thing: "Furth's new book "Stormstorm Villa" has been published, and I will send you a copy when the sample book is sent." ”

Abner was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Say 'congratulations' to Miss Folth for me...... At the same time, congratulations on getting closer to getting in touch with the aristocratic circle and exploring the truth. ”

"Thank you!" Hugh smiled happily. She was grateful to Abner because he had pointed her out the direction of her efforts, and let her see the dawn of finding out the truth about her father's death, and she would no longer be as clueless as before.

After a small conversation with Miss Hugh, Abner said goodbye to her and left the Eastern End. Then, I came to the police station in Jowood District again.

As soon as the foul-mouthed police officer Edith saw Abner coming in, she immediately walked up to him and looked at him carefully for a long time before saying, "Are you mentally ill?" ”

"Mentally? Why do you ask? Abner asked, puzzled. Even if it's a little strange that I passed out yesterday, I should suspect that there is a physical problem, right?

"Because it's hard to imagine that a person who is strong enough to pick up that cane with one hand can faint from physical weakness, it must be a mental problem!" Edith said firmly.

"So you sent me back yesterday......" As soon as he lifted the cane, Abner suddenly realized what the other party was going to say, which was to imply that he helped him yesterday and brought back the cane.

"Who else but me?" Atrath raised her chin and continued, "Your cane, while it's heavy, is still lighter than I thought it would be......"

"Thank you!" Abner first thanked him, and then said helplessly, "Don't you feel tired of talking like this?" ”

"Isn't that your detective's style? Never talk about the key results directly, but list seemingly unrelated things and show your reasoning. Officer Edith pouted.

Am I so familiar with this product? What's going on with this sense of immediacy that hurts friends and bickering? The corners of Abner's mouth twitched, and he ignored the awkward self-acquaintance, intending to go upstairs to the office to find the teacher.

At this time, Edith said behind her, "Detective Atsinger Stanton has gone to check the evidence...... Also, there's a very troublesome person upstairs right now......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Abner heard an angry voice from the second floor:

"I've said it several times, that guy is just staying at my house! I didn't want to kidnap him, nor did I partner with him to blackmail his parents for money! It's all that bastard directing and acting on his own! ”

Edith shrugged her shoulders and said, "You heard it, this man is Emlyn White, the friend of little Mr. Heidi. We found his address last night and detained him for questioning. But this guy looks arrogant and has a foul mouth, which can be sarcastic about anything. His parents found a lawyer to bail him out, and this was only the last routine questioning. ”

Isn't that the same as you? Abner almost said this, but before he could open his mouth, he saw a man with his hair combed back diagonally and a little dashing in a serious way coming down from the stairs, and this should be Emlin. And behind him was a middle-aged man with a serious expression and meticulously groomed hair, obviously his lawyer.

Abner didn't want to talk to Emlyn, but who thought that the future tarot would be 'Moon' walked straight over and said to Edith, "How is it?" I've said I've had nothing to do with it, but you guys say 'people who like dolls aren't normal, there must be something wrong', you have to bring me to the police! Can you apologize to me now? ”

Edith muttered "sorry" in an unpleasant voice, and then said in a weird voice, "Dr. White should really go check the birth records at Beckland Hospital." ”

"What do you mean?" Emlyn was already satisfied to hear the apology, but because of Edith's words, she turned back and muttered quietly, "When I was born, Beckland Hospital wasn't even built, where can I find records?" No, why should I go find this record! ”

"Dr. White is so respected, how can there be such an unconscious son as you? It must be the wrong one! Ai Cui said defiantly and unceremoniously.

Emlyn understood what he meant, but he wasn't angry, because there was no chance that the Bloods would be wrong. He only glanced at Edith with contempt, as if he was very disdainful, and then walked directly past him and out of the police station.

Edith was so angry that she wanted to fight with the other party.

Abner grabbed him, shook his head, and said, "Are you children?" ”

"You've seen how infuriating he is! He's even more annoying than you detectives! Edith said openly.

Abner was amazed by this and said, "What kind of policeman should you be with such a character?" "How nice it is to be a transcendent in the way of hunters!

"I didn't want to be a police officer, but my father insisted on me coming ...... I actually want to be an adventurer. Edith seemed deflated and said helplessly.

"Who is your father?"

"It's Sheriff Fassin."

Abner didn't bother to talk to this awkward police second-generation police officer anymore, and went straight to the office and carefully looked at the file of another disappearance case.

……

Deep in a narrow alley enclosed by buildings on Constant Street, southwest of Jowood, Sergeant Issinger Stanton and Sheriff Fasin and four police officers saw a scene of madness.

There are many bloody thighs, calves, feet in leather boots, feet in high heels, ribs and hearts, arm remains, eyes of various sizes and other human "parts" on the ground, and several white intestines hanging on the wall, although there is not much red blood around it, but it still sets off this place like hell.

The four policemen, who were still ordinary people, vomited and vomited on the spot. Sheriff Fasin also covered his mouth, and forcibly endured it for a long time before he finally retained his majesty. Only Detective Issinger relied on his extraordinary abilities to keep his composure, and after careful observation, he found some of the tissue from the disgusting human remnants that were clearly more thoroughly decomposed.

"Living corpses?" Detective Issinger's brow furrowed.

……

In the police station, Abner, who had carefully reviewed the file, already had a bottom in his heart, and called Officer Edith to go out with him again.

This case of disappearance is not complicated.

The report was made by a middle-class couple who were the department manager of an import and export company and were rarely at home. The hostess is a housewife who is mainly responsible for household chores and teaching her daughter. However, their daughter is more rebellious, and her personality is like a naughty boy, who always sneaks out of the house to play. But this time, she went out and never came back.

Abner could see from the file that the girl was a man of good intentions, with ideas and actions, and that she had been planning to run away from home since her mother had introduced her to a betrothed a few months earlier.

Starting with her social circle, Abner soon learned from a friend of hers about her adventure at sea under a false identity.

"It's still a man's fake identity...... There's something about this girl! Abner did not approve of her parting, but he admired her courage in the pursuit of freedom.

Thiel Sweig...... Or Anne Gwen? That's amazing! ”

Appreciation is appreciated, but Abner still handed over the results of the investigation to the young lady's parents, and the disappearance case was completely closed. After that, how her parents find their daughter who has left home is not the responsibility of the police.

However, Edith seemed to have been a little lost from the moment she found out that the young lady had gone to sea, and it was not until the case was closed that he returned to normal.

……

In the evening, when Abner said goodbye to Edith and returned to the teacher's house, he happened to see Detective Isenger also returning home in a car.

"Our commission is over!" As soon as Detective Isenger saw his student, he said directly.

"It's over? Did you solve those 6 disappearances? Abner asked curiously.

"No...... The police department has already transferred the case to the penalty substitute! You know, with those tyrants' minions, we're not fit to be there. Detective Isenger didn't seem annoyed at all, but said in a relaxed tone.

"Transferred to the penalizer?" Most of those families believe in goddesses, so they can't be transferred to the punishment just because they live near the Holy Wind Church, right?

"Yes, it was done by the fish that slipped through the net through the negligence of the punisher before, so naturally they have to solve it."
