Chapter 33: Rape and Murder
Friday, May 5.
Two o'clock in the morning.
36 Zotland Street, 2nd Floor, Black Thorn Security Company.
Dididi, the transceiver in the captain's office suddenly quieted, and it seemed that a new telegram was about to appear.
Dunn Smith, the leader of the Tingen Value Nights, perked up and shifted his attention from the papers in his hand.
He put the paper in his hand on the table, took a sip of the Filmer coffee from the Paz Valley on the southern continent, and turned his deep gray eyes to the transceiver.
Obviously, he takes the news that is about to arrive quite seriously.
On the desktop, the document recorded the essence of Mrs. Sharon's murder, which was yesterday...... To be precise, the message he sent to the Templar the day before yesterday.
After returning from the scene, he consulted all the information behind the Chanis Gate, but was unable to analyze the inside of the case, so he had to ask for help from the church in Beckland.
Nearly thirty hours passed, and the Templar's reply finally arrived.
Da-da-da-da.
The transceiver spits out the pages little by little.
When the reception was over, Dunn picked up the extra-long telegram and read it carefully.
"Warning, this message is classified at the level of Captain."
"There is not enough intelligence to provide reasonable guesses."
"The deceased, Lady Sharon, is suspected to be an extraordinary person in the middle order, a member of the Witch Sect."
"Depending on the ability of the murderer, there are two most likely scenarios."
"First, the murderer is a member of the Aurora Society, Sequence 5 of the 'Secret Prayer Man', with the purpose of devouring the grazing Lady Sharon and gaining her extraordinary abilities."
"Second, the murderer is a member of the Esoteric Order, and the purpose of the 'soothsayer' path is unknown."
"Be vigilant and investigate carefully."
After reading the telegram, Dunn reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, realizing that the eucalyptus situation was even worse than he expected.
After a moment of quiet thought, Dunn picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote down the conclusion.
"Mrs. Sharon died in a long-planned rape and murder, the murderer was a cult believer who coveted beauty, please inform the end of the sentence according to this statement, comfort the family of the deceased, and the follow-up investigation will continue to be the responsibility of the night watchman team."
He walked out of the office, came to the team members who were playing cards, and handed the note out, "Luo Yao, run and send this news to the Jinwutong District Police Station." β
Luo Yao got up and took the note, opened it, looked up, and asked, "Captain, has the Holy Hall come to a conclusion?" β
"Well, secrecy."
Dunn glanced at Luo Yao with deep gray eyes, turned around and prepared to leave.
After taking two steps, he turned back again, "By the way, there's one more thing. β
"Do any of you know what happened to the burglary investigation that Furray was responsible for?"
Hearing the captain's question, Leonard Michel, a black-haired green boy with an obvious poetic romantic temperament, put his hand on the back of the sofa, sat sideways and turned his head, kept a casual smile on his face, and replied:
"It didn't seem to be going well, I had seen his sketches...... Haha, I promise, it's one of the most mocky portraits he's ever made. β
"Except for the round face, eyes, and mouth, almost everything else is dark."
β¦β¦
Seven o'clock in the morning, Beckland.
Valera woke up in her newly rented one-bedroom apartment yesterday, and although she had rested, she still felt a little tired and cold.
Yesterday, she changed her appearance and rented a house, and she lost a little blood, and it seems that the physical loss has been quite serious.
When we return to Tingen tonight, let's set up a "regeneration potion...... At the same time, the "bloodthirsty tongue" can no longer be used for a short time.
With that in mind, Valela got up and dressed.
Lingerie, petticoats, stockings...... Finally, she put on a high-waisted green dress with lace trims, changed into bright white lace-up booties, and put on a beige wide-brimmed gauze hat with a light blue ribbon and bow, and carried a small suitcase out to the steam train station on White Rum Street.
This dress originally belonged to Qi Li.
In addition to some important items, Valeera also brought two sets of Qili's clothes as a thing of missing.
In addition to this one, the other set is the one worn by Qi Li in the jewelry box photo.
With a clang, the train walked along the tracks and gradually moved away from Beckland.
Valilla was unwell and soon leaned back in the seat of the first-class carriage and fell into a deep sleep.
It wasn't until the train arrived in a small town called Vigna that she woke up and felt a little better.
The small town of Vigna is the last steam station on the way from Beckland to Tingen.
After stopping for a short time, the train starts again.
Soon, a lady flight attendant dressed in a standard uniform brought several of the latest newspapers to the passengers in the first class.
Valilla probably flipped through the pages and found that only the news in the "news section" of the Tingen Morning Post had attracted her attention a little.
ββ¦β¦ According to the police department, Baron Hoyin's widow, Lady Sharon, was raped and killed by a cultist who had been planning for a long time at a banquet at Councillor Maynard's house because of her beauty. It is reported that this cult believer has also mastered a bit of weird tricks, and can temporarily disguise his identity. β
"This is a violation of the laws of the Kingdom! This is a provocation to public safety! No one wants something like that! Of course, the good news is that the police department quickly identified the killer and has arrested him, and the details of the investigation are being interrogated, and we will give a follow-up report as soon as possible. β
"Journalist, John Browning."
Although few words of this report are true, Valera can still see some hidden insider information in it.
First of all, the most blunt point is that the night watchman did not find any valuable clues.
Otherwise, the report will definitely be accompanied by an "accomplice" arrest warrant.
Secondly, referring to the practice of the original Welch and the night watcher, the intensity of the investigation is obviously not much higher.
I'm afraid there are only five regular members of the Nightwatcher team now, and even if they make Kornley a month early, there will be no qualitative change in staffing.
As long as she doesn't commit eucalyptus again, it can be said that it is almost impossible to be traced again.
Moreover, it is speculated from the statement of the "cult believer" that it may be because she used the "bloodthirsty tongue" to absorb a large amount of Mrs. Sharon's blood, causing the night watcher to misjudge and attribute this fate to the members of the "Aurora Society"?
Of course, this is just a reasonable assumption on Valeera's part, and she's not sure.
After reading the Tingen Morning Post, Valilla flipped through the previous newspapers, mainly some of the Beckland newspapers.
It took some time, but Valeera didn't gain anything other than learning that yesterday "Mr. A" had called a gathering of the extraordinary, and that tomorrow Mr. "Eyes of Wisdom" would also have a partyβshe had already recalled the code for the gathering through the "state of reasoning".
In the report, there was no news about the "Labor Union Party" in the docklands that she most wanted to see.
Putting down the newspaper, Valera looked out the window.
In the orange-red glow of the sunset, the city of Tingen comes into view.
On the train, you can see the wide Tasok River, the dock area where boats come and go, and the thick smoke and dust emitted by many factories in the southern area, which are black, yellow and white.
Woo β
The whistle screams.
Ahead of the city of Tingen, the train has arrived.
