Chapter 173: Special Groups
After several policemen quickly arrived at the hotel, ran up to the third floor with guns.
They saw first the unconscious lady on the floor, with a pillow and a blanket, another woman and a boy sitting next to her, opposite a young man leaning against the wall, and an old man in an easy chair.
Esther looked at these police officers: "You'd better go to the Special Operations Department of the National Police Agency immediately, it's the seventh team in charge of the Golden Sycamore District." โ
When the old man heard this, he raised his eyelids in surprise and looked at Esther again.
Among the officers, the man with two silver stars on his epaulettes walked towards them, although his clothes were slightly propped up by his stomach, but the thick brown and yellow beard on his face was still majestic.
However, the police inspector first saluted the old gentleman sitting in the easy chair: "Good night, Mr. Viscount." You're not frightened, are you? I'm Inspector Toller, representing the Tingen City Police Departmentโ"
The old man waved his hand with a calm face, interrupting the police inspector's words: "You can do what you want, that lady's measures are the most reasonable." If you want to confirm the severity of the incident, look at the door of the house and be prepared. โ
Inspector Toller swallowed, but in the presence of the illustrious viscount, he pushed the door open and glanced into the room.
When Inspector Tole retracted his head, his face turned pale, and he instructed the police officers behind him: "You hurry down and wait for the police inspectors of the seventh group, and by the way, let the police officers take care of the passengers on the second floor, no, take all the passengers to the second floor...... We'd better close the whole 'Lilac Inn' first. โ
After instructing the other police officers, Inspector Tole looked at a few more people and carefully observed the face of "Mr. Viscount": "Then everyone, please stay here for now, and there will be a full-time police inspector to ask about your situation later." โ
Seeing the old man's bow, Superintendent Toller breathed a sigh of relief, and like the other police officers, he called out the passengers who were still in the room one by one, and told them to go down to the second floor to meet the others.
Superintendent Toller tried to make a good impression on "Mr. Viscount" with his busy figure, but the old man did not look at him, but at the lady with light and gentle eyes:
"Are you a doctor?"
Esther was suddenly asked such a question, and couldn't help but be a little dazed: "What, me?" No. โ
The old man's gaze fell on the unconscious woman's face: "Then this is a matter of small talk, after all, we are not professionals." Is she okay now? โ
Esther hesitated for two seconds, but still said what she thought directly: "I don't think it's good, it's bad, I used a little trick to make her fall asleep." I was worried that if she woke up, she would fall back into that emotional breakdown. โ
The old man sighed heavily: "Alas...... I really didn't expect this to happen in Tingen, these rampant cultists. โ
The rabbit was eager to ask what it meant, but he kept his mouth shut at the thought that the officer had just called him "Mr. Viscount". The rabbit is afraid that what he says will cause the other party to be unhappy and condemn them to something - these big people are quite distant and unfamiliar to the rabbit.
And the young man leaning against the wall did not have this distress, he straightened his glasses with his right hand: "I don't know which viscount you are?" โ
"Just call me Ode, a little viscount, and it will only be in Tingen that people will be taken seriously. If you were in the West End of Beckland, you would be able to hit seven or eight viscounts by throwing a brick at any chance. โ
The corners of Esther's mouth moved: "This is also what Russell the Great said?" โ
Viscount Odd smiled and stroked his goatee twice: "Of course, of course, that is a very interesting leader, many of his famous quotes are worth our time to recall, and I am also getting older, the more I think he is very special." โ
Esther rolled her eyes in her heart, feeling helpless at the boasted achievements of the "No. 1 Copyist in the Northern Continent".
If Russell's diaries were translated one day, I don't know if it would make the world even more touted for his "merits" - peach lace is always easier to reach the masses than famous quotes.
But this kind of thing seems too bad, if there is really a "junior" who can understand Chinese in this world, I hope that no one will do this, and give this senior who has left a lot of news a little privacy.
The "Mystery Queen" will certainly not be happy.
โโ
A four-wheeled carriage with a single horse parked outside the door of the "Lilac Hotel", and the side of the carriage was engraved with a police badge with two swords intertwined and a crown clustered, proving that the person riding in this carriage had a special status.
The first to step out of the carriage was a man with a pale face, black hair and blue eyes, and a pair of thin lips made his already indifferent temperament even more gloomy.
The next two are both ladies:
One had white hair, which was also rare in Rune, with an elegant look between his eyebrows, and carried a small box in his hand. The other, with black hair resembling silk and tied into a neat ponytail, wore a more slim, simple, masculine police inspector's uniform, with a gun pouch dangling brightly from his waist.
The night watchmen of Tingen rushed to the district of Golden Sycamore as fast as they could.
The man at the head gestured to the coachman: "Cezel, go find the carriage of the police department, stop there, don't be left alone." โ
The coachman in the special squad was just an ordinary person, and he had long known the corresponding rules of action, he nodded, and drove to the side street according to the captain's instructions.
"Fry, you're getting more and more like a captain." The white-haired lady, Siga Teang quipped.
Frye tugged at the corners of his mouth stiffly, he still didn't adapt to his new identity: "There's no way, not long after the captain was promoted, he joined the 'Red Glove' with Ms. Dali, and as a result, they were even on a mission on their honeymoon after marriage......"
The black-haired Loyo Lytin corrected his statement: "It's the former captain, or Dunn, because now you're our captain." โ
Frye sighed, "I'll probably never change my words." โ
Siga teased him with a smile: "Then you have to get used to it as soon as possible, Captain Dunn has said that he is going to hand over Tingen to us." โ
"Daly says they're all good, Dunn, and Leonard, who was the first to join the 'Red Gloves,' and he's now in Sequence Six." Luo Yao's always cold expression also became a lot gentler.
"Leonard's progress is so fast, we can't live up to Captain Dunn's instructions," Siga lifted the box up in his hand and focused on the vicinity of the hotel, "Let's go, let's go and investigate what happened." โ
Frye glanced nearby and frowned slightly, "Something isn't quite right." โ
"What's wrong?" Luo Yao asked vigilantly, his hand already pressed on the gun on his waist.
But Frye pressed his right hand, signaling her to be calm, and after carefully sensing the nearby environment, his face was slightly puzzled: "The nearby spirits have been dispersed, no, it should be said that they are avoiding something, and subconsciously stayed away from this place." โ
Xijia and Luo Yao's expressions were much more serious: "Very tricky? โ
"Let's go to the hotel first and see what the hell is going on."
The three of them greeted the guards and then stepped through the cordon, and as soon as they entered the antechamber of the "Lilac Hotel", there were police officers waiting here and introduced them to a simple situation.
The police have conducted brief interviews with all the guests in the hotel, and the accounts obtained are basically the same - screams on the fourth floor, a crazy lady, and some of them saw the horrors in the house, and guessed that there should be a person involved, who was her companion who died in a miserable state.
At the front desk, Frye was given information about the lady, who had stayed with her husband and had all her identity documents.
The husband, the "victim", was the manager of a trading company in the South Continent headquartered in Beckland, and the two appeared to have come to Tingen for a holidayโat least those who came into contact with them had a corresponding impression.
Frye led Siga and Luo Yao up the stairs and quickly came to the room on the fourth floor where the murder occurred, where in addition to the two people stationed there, there were a few additional guests.
Since spiritual intuition did not indicate any danger, Fry led Luo Yao into the house first, while Siga took the initiative to walk towards the guests, as well as the lady lying on the ground.
This is Tingen's current night watchman team, which is gradually getting used to their own division of labor, because Frye is not good at communicating with the living, and his temperament also affects the trust of the parties in him, so he gives priority to Siga, who is also promoted to Sequence Seven not long ago, but has more affinity, to contact the people affected by the incident.
โโ
Esther watched as the grim man walked into the room, followed by a woman with supple black hair, and another woman with white hair and black eyes approaching the hallway.
She lowered her head and focused her gaze on the unconscious victim.
Only the young man leaning against the wall noticed this, and when he saw the soft sparkle in Esther's eyes, he looked suspiciously at the lady who had come as he approached.
"Hello, you can call me Inspector Siga, may I ask you about what happened here?"
After questioning the other guests downstairs, Superintendent Tole went back to the fourth floor, now also guarding Viscount Oder, and he stepped forward to shake Siga's hand: "Oh, you're finally here, this is Viscount Ode, and then ......"
Inspector Toller looked at the others hesitantly, and for some reason, he had forgotten to ask them for further information.
The bespectacled young man on the side of the wall looked calmly, quietly looking at the "night watchman" of Tingen City who had come to communicateโhe had already obtained this information from Inspector Toller's head, and further information could be obtained by directly observing the other party, including the star spirit that was exceptionally bright because he had just been promoted.
Two sequences of seven and one sequence of eight, it is really a small city that can't withstand the wind and waves. The young man thought this, and there was no fluctuation on his face.
Viscount Odd cleared his throat: "Ahem, Odd Vixon, I think you've heard what the guests downstairs have to say. I lived in room 2 on the fourth floor, and when I heard the screams, I was at the door to observe the situation. I beg your pardon for the anxiety of an old man to protect himself, but I am not old enough to fight before the group......
"I'm sorry, I'm always used to talking a lot, I'm here to visit a friend, that place in Beckland is not suitable for us old people to live in all year round, and the doctor said it's not good for the lungs."
Esther also had to raise her head: "Hamel Brooke, this is my brother Rebit, we have just come to Tingen to relax, this kid ran away from home without anything, I have to take him back to Port Priety." โ
The rabbit was very cooperative with Esther's words, and when he heard these words, he subconsciously pursed his lips and shrank back to Esther's side, still remaining silent.
Siga's gaze fell on the young man.
The young man smiled and straightened his glasses with his right hand, and his smile was very friendly: "Benjamin Jacob, come to Tingen to find an old friend." I live in Port Pletts, and I have an antique shop under my name, as you may know, the kind of shoddy little merchants. โ
Esther's fingers subconsciously closed, looking at the young man with both round glasses and lake-green eyes.
The Jacob family? Really?
