Chapter 27: Investigation of the Nightwatch

"Valeera, are you alright?" Crane looked concerned, "What the hell is wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Valera shook her head slightly, "I never told you, I actually have congenital heart disease. ”

"But I have medicine."

She squeezed out a smile and continued:

"I suddenly fell ill last night, and I fainted before I had time to drink the medicine."

"Melissa, go open the drawer on the left side of the dresser, there should be a tube of potions in it."

The Moretti family looked in the direction of Valeera's finger.

On the dresser were neatly arranged several small wooden boxes, square or round, which were supposed to be cosmetics and skin care products, and there was also a fine jewelry box with the lid open, which was empty, and even the silk cushion had been pulled out.

Melissa handed the glass to Crane and winked at him as she walked to the dresser.

Benson gave a hard push from the side and back, pushing Crane to the head of the bed.

"Valeera, I'...... I'll feed you water. ”

Crane handed the glass over, his voice and fingers trembling.

This time, Valilla wasn't in the mood to tease Crane anymore.

She shook her head lightly again, took the water cup into her hand, and said slightly coldly, "No need, I have regained some strength." ”

Melissa came to the dresser.

She scanned the boxes of cosmetics and jewelry on the countertop with a look of curiosity and envy, and saw something else in passing.

There was a picture in the jewelry box, a picture of a beautiful lady, even better than Sister Valeera;

The drawer on the right side of the dresser is ajar, and there appears to be a red ribbon and a gray button inside.

Melissa didn't look much at it or think about it, and quickly pulled open the left drawer.

There was a lot of stuff in it, a small bottle of perfume, a few strange potions, and a few empty glass bottles...... As for the potion for healing, there is indeed only one liquid in a glass tube that matches Sister Valeera's statement.

Picking up the dark brown potion, Melissa closed the drawer and returned to the bedside.

"Okay, I'm really fine."

After drinking the potion, Valeera's face looked much better, at least the blue halo that was revealed had indeed subsided by half.

"You don't have to worry about me, go to work and school, I'll just rest for a while."

"Crane, if the mentor asks, you can help me take a leave of absence."

The Moretti family was indeed relieved to see Valeera's face change, and after a few more words, they exited the room in turn.

Soon after, they finished their breakfast and left the house.

Hearing them leave, Valira endured the pain of her injuries and the sleepiness caused by the "blood-producing potion" and got up to change her clothes.

She's going to Beckland.

She had to find out what had happened to her last night after she lost consciousness.

She had a feeling that Qili might be in a bad situation.

It didn't take long for her to gather her belongings, leave a message, and head out to the steam train station on the north side of the South Zone.

……

36 Zotland Street, 2nd Floor, Black Thorn Security Company.

This is the location of the Night Watch Team of the Church of the Night Goddess in Tingen, the 7th Group of the Special Operations Department of the National Police Agency, and the "Black Thorn Security Company" is a camouflage signboard displayed to the public.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Old Neil, a gray-haired "voyeur" dressed in a classical black robe, arrived at work on time.

After greeting several of his clerical colleagues, he entered the office of Captain Dunn Smith.

"Did you come to me, is something wrong, Dunn?"

He and Dunn Smith have been teammates for more than 15 years, and it can be said that they watched each other rise step by step, and eventually became the "Dream Demon" of Sequence 7, a witness to serving as the captain of the Night Watch Squad, and they are quite familiar with each other, and their tone of voice is also casual.

"A fatal accident happened last night."

Captain Dunn, with a straight nose and a slightly high hairline, sat behind his desk, looked at Old Neil with deep gray eyes, and continued:

"This is the eucalyptus transferred from the Sycamore District Police Station, the famous widow of the city of Tingen, Mrs. Sharon, who attended a banquet hosted by Councillor Maynard, and was brutally murdered in his guest bedroom."

"Inspector Toller, who is in charge of this matter, highly suspected that it had something to do with supernatural powers, so he submitted it to us."

Old Neil nodded knowingly, "So you're going to let me go to the scene and hold a ritual 'psychic'?" ”

"That's right." Dunn nodded, "Furry is still investigating the previous burglary, and you are the only one in the team who can 'psychic'." ”

"I'll also go with you to replace Leonard and Luo Yao, who arrived on the scene last night."

"Most of the people involved in this case are either rich or noble, and the Tingen City Police Department is under a lot of pressure, well, combined with my 'dreaming' inquiry, and the results of your 'psychic', I think we can quickly find out the truth."

"Okay."

Old Neil nodded with a smile and said:

"Don't look at my age, this kind of task can still be done."

"I'll go to the material library and pick up some hydrosols, essential oils, and herbs, and then I'll change my clothes, and then we'll be on our way."

He turned to the door, and then smiled and added, "Hehe, I can't imagine that we can work together on another mission, Dunn." ”

……

About 20 minutes later, Dunn and Neal Sr., dressed in police uniforms, arrived at Congressman Maynard's house in the Golden Sycamore district.

Their uniforms have insignia with black and white staggered bottoms and three silver stars shining on the shoulders.

This indicates that both of them are at the rank of superintendent.

The police hierarchy in the Kingdom of Rune is the Minister of Police and the Chief Police Secretary at the top, followed by the Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, and Assistant Superintendent of each police agency, the Superintendent and Inspector at the middle, and the Sheriff and Constable at the bottom.

Of course, Dunn and Neal Sr. are both high-level distinguished experts.

Leonard Mitchell, the "Midnight Poet" and Loyo Lytin, the "Sleepless", dressed in two-star inspector attire, walked over to report on the general situation.

After that, Dunn and Neil Sr. went their separate ways.

Dunn entered the chess and card room near the stairs on the second floor, and asked the police officers at the scene to arrange for the personnel involved in the eucalyptus to enter the room one by one for questioning; Old Neil walked into the guest bedroom and closed the door.

After some time, old Neil walked out of the room with a frown, and after some muttering, he found Inspector Toller.

It wasn't long before Neil Sr. walked alone into a "no-go zone" that the officers had isolated in the garden.

His psychic ritual in the room failed, and the remnants of Lady Sharon's spirit were cleaned.

Obviously, this is truly extraordinary.

In order to gather as much information as possible, Old Neil decided to venture into the garden to perform another psychic ritual, targeting the nature spirits that roamed around the house.

……

The investigation between the two sides is over, and Dunn and Neil Sr. reunite.

They synthesized the intelligence and found that the information obtained by both sides was far less detailed than expected.

In addition to confirming the claims cobbled together by Councilor Maynard and others, the only thing they can determine about the murderer is some extraordinary abilities.

"Invisibility", "Persuasion", "Physiognomy Change", "Anti-Divination", "Vampire", ......

With so many abilities, the murderer is at least an extraordinary person, why would he kill Mrs. Sharon?

Or is it such a cautious assassination method?

Facing Inspector Toller's expectant gaze, Dunn coughed lightly and said with embarrassment:

"There were some gains, but not as expected."

"We need to go back and look into it before we can draw more definite conclusions."

"But one thing is certain, there is nothing wrong with Congressman Maynard's statement, they are all innocent, and the murderer is definitely an extraordinary person."
