Chapter 62: Worms (5) A Simple Investigation
After Zhao Tianhe was attacked, Gerals took him directly to the headquarters of the security patrol.
At this time, the headquarters was in chaos, and a large number of people were running around, and they were investigating the last whereabouts of the previous victim and the location of the murder.
"What?! Attack the brave?! When the old captain Jeff heard this, his eyes slapped on the table and stood up, which startled the angry Geralt.
"The brave are the cornerstone of world peace and the noble existence of sacrifice for the world!" Jeff, who had been a brave man, roared with a serious expression. "This is a capital offense against Article 10 of the Supreme Law of the Parliament! Absolute capital offense! Even if the murderer is the president of the Holy Council, as long as he is caught, he can be executed on the spot! ”
"So......" Geralt was about to speak, but Jeff had already pushed open the office door and walked out.
"Listen, everybody! The murderer is a vicious criminal who is extremely evil! And the means are extremely cruel! has even targeted the attack on the brave Mr. Zhao Tianhe, and he must be brought to justice as soon as possible! Jeff walked into the office and yelled at the busy crowd, his voice loud even in the office.
"Manipulating and creating monsters is also a secret law ban! After the criminal is found and confirmed, he can be directly executed on the spot! Jeff yelled. Also, lockdown! No air routes! All personnel are dispatched! Activate all the old 'Seekers (the metal balls) in the warehouse, and don't miss a single clue! Overtime tonight! ”
Gerals sat in his office, his expression a little embarrassed. He originally planned to come to pressure and increase the intensity of the investigation, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said that Zhao Tianhe was attacked, the old captain's performance was actually more exciting than him.
"I have also fought on the front line, I know the hard work of the brave, and I also know how valuable talents like Mr. Zhao Tianhe are." Jeff returned to the office and said with a serious face. "Don't worry, Mr. Geralth, you won't find that thug for a day, and Port St. Ross won't lift the lockdown for a day!"
Gerals was a little tempted to say if this was too much, but he thought about the danger of that kind of demon worm, and suddenly felt that this lockdown seemed a bit necessary.
"There's no need to lock down the city." However, Zhao Tianhe said very calmly. "I guess since that guy is going to have his eye on me, it means that the attack on Mark and Britanelle at the previous press conference was not accidental, and it's clear that you've found some clues, and I'd like to hear about it."
When he just passed by the office area, Zhao Tianhe subconsciously listened to the words of the office staff and had a general understanding of the progress of the case, but he still needed to listen to the specific situation.
"Oh?" Jeff's eyes lit up, and he sat back at his desk with a smile, picked up a stack of materials, and explained it to the two of them as he sent them.
The victim, Ludeth Muffin, was a material designer who used magic to weave and transform all kinds of fabrics, worked in Britney's design studio, and disappeared two days ago.
However, because this person has been divorced and lives alone, and in recent days, various designs have come to an end and he is on a long vacation, so no one has noticed his disappearance.
"Judging from the video surveillance of the magic network in the relevant witnesses and some public places, this person should have disappeared a day ago, and the possible location of the disappearance is in the north of the city, and the specific location of the murder is still under investigation." Jeff pulled out a map and pointed to the area marked with red lines on it.
"Hmm......" Zhao Tianhe looked at the situation on the map, frowned and fell into deep thought, and then asked again. So, have all the people in Britney's studio been checked? ”
"Of course." Jeff nodded.
"What about those who resigned before?" Zhao Tianhe asked again.
"This ......," Jeff frowned. Based on the testimony of relevant witnesses, we have screened all those involved in the victims, as well as several former employees. ”
"Aren't all the resignations happening?" Zhao Tianhe asked. "Since you deliberately chose to attack Britnale at the press conference, you must have an enmity with her."
"Well, I really didn't expect that." Jeff scratched his hair, these people are indeed too dependent on magic props, of course, even if Zhao Tianhe doesn't remind him, he should still find out about this in the end.
But if it is a small case, I am afraid that it will become a death case at this point, and the patrol team will not continue to invest in human resources investigation.
Even in a magical society, human nature and interests do not change.
"Also, I'll go with Geralt during the investigation." Zhao Tianhe suggested. "That kind of demon insect is very hidden, although it can be prevented with detection magic, but if the opponent has a considerable number of parasitic demon insects in his hands, I am afraid that there will be further personnel losses."
"Yes, indeed." Jeff nodded, conjuring up a warhammer and shield in his hand. "I'll go too, old man, I've been brushing C-level for decades, even if the combat power is not good, I still have experience."
Jeff's words are pure modesty, although a brave man with little potential like him will not be allowed to advance to the B rank, but will be left behind to guard the C rank. But the accumulation over the years can allow him to have sufficient professional levels and skills, and it is difficult for him to please Zhao Tianhe, even Geralt.
"Ahem! Ahem~~"
In the dark cellar, a violent cough sounded.
"Hmph, am I just a piece of waste?"
A scalp-tingling rustle sounded......
"I can't get recognition, I can't open the last door, but I can't even complete the last revenge...... Damn it...... The brave man who appeared out of nowhere, and the old guy ......"
"Squeak!"
An eerie roar rang out.
"Someone's coming? Damn ......" In the dark cellar, the footsteps gradually faded downward. "Stop that guy for me! Damn, damn it! No one will recognize me! I'm a descendant of a hero! Why, why?! ”
"Ah, what a nasty sound!" On the outskirts of the north of the city, outside a private villa, Zhao Tianhe plucked his ears and said with a frown. "This is it, the disgusting sound of bugs is everywhere, go in after the magic protection is done, don't be parasitized."
The windows of the villa were smashed, and more than a dozen insect monsters and hundreds of parasitic demon insects of different sizes, as well as an overwhelming dense number of demon beetles, rushed towards Zhao Tianhe and the others!
"The murderer isn't in the house, is he?" Gerals looked at the surging insect tide in front of him and confirmed to Zhao Tianhe.
"Well, there's a basement with faint human voices." Zhao Tianhe nodded.
"That's good." Gerals closed his eyes in contemplation and floated slowly.
Several patrol members were about to step forward under Jeff's leadership, but Jeff reached out to stop them.
"The murderer can't just die......" Jeff opened his eyes, and the scorching heat gathered above him. Otherwise who am I going to get angry with? ’
