Volume 1 The Investigator Chapter 24 Recent Events
After greeting Old Bill, Leon took the heavy envelope to his office on the first floor.
This office can accommodate three people, three log-colored tables are placed in turn, the tops of the three tables are very neat, materials, books, and writing instruments are very neatly placed, each table has a small round clock with gears exposed, the hands are all stuck at 10:30, the walls next to each table are inlaid with black pipes, these pipes are connected to the wall lamp, and the inner table against the wall is a cabinet, which is neatly placed with various archival materials.
Stacked next to the door was a pile of publications, the daily publications of the Kampra Daily Society, which old Bill had sorted out for Leon.
Leon's other two colleagues must have been sent out to work, and he was alone in the office at this point.
Leon leaned his work backpack against his desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, carefully placing the envelope in his hand into the cargo backpack.
Idle is also idle, he decided to see what happened to Holin during the time he was away, and also to see if there was any news that would help him return to his original world.
It has to be said that Old Bill was a very strict person, and all the newspapers were neatly arranged according to the date, which saved Lyon a lot of effort.
Knock, knock, knock
Leon, who was about to gather information, was interrupted by a knock on the door.
I saw old Bill holding a small disc in his hand, on which were placed two small cups, "Mr. Lyon, black tea or coffee?" I'll bring another one to Ms. Hawley. ”
"Black tea, thank you!" Leon smiled and thanked him.
"You're welcome, it's my job." Old Bill placed the cup full of black tea on the table in Lyon, "Hot." ”
The tea soup is deep red and fragrant, Leon picked up the cup and took a sip, there was no bitter taste, the taste was sweet and mellow.
"Very good black tea." Leon exclaimed and took another sip.
"These are the new black teas from the Sheldon Chamber of Commerce, which became popular in the small town of Holin last week." Old Bill introduced.
"Okay, thanks again, I'll see what's going on lately." Leon set his cup aside and pulled out the first publication.
"Okay, Mr. Leon, you take your time, you can call me if you have something, and if you leave after work, please help me thank Mr. Swan, the youngest of my family has been taken care of." Old Bill finished speaking, and left the office with a smile.
It seems that my brother has saved another favor.
In Leon's memory, his brother was a very warm-hearted man, and many people in the town of Horin had his help.
I'll talk to Swan when I get back, and gather the latest news first.
Leon withdrew his thoughts and read the newspaper in his hand.
In the first ten days, most of the news was some daily miscellaneous matters, such as a certain auction held by a certain chamber of commerce or association, such as the scandal news of a certain upper-class person, such as the conflict between the Sect of Knowledge and Life and the Anti-Fusion Life Association, which are all painless daily news.
Even though it was all trivial, Leon read it very carefully, gathering any information he could use.
When Lyon pulled out the April 3 newspaper, his eyes were drawn to the news.
"In 1930, the 7th year of Rooney III, on April 3, Rooney III passed the proposed bill of the Anti-Life Fusion Association, supporting the mass production and servitization of demons, suspending the research and development and production of life fusions, and making the Marquis of Flinnan, the president of the Clockwork Association, the Chief Chancellor of the Kingdom of Shavant."
Seeing this news, Leon also understood why he had just seen the demon spirit on the street, but he couldn't figure it out, the former Rooney III was a faithful believer in the Life Sect, and he didn't support the mass production of demon spirits, and he didn't know what was going on, Rooney III actually went against the norm and began to reuse the Clockwork Association.
This kind of political matter must be related to interests, and Leon feels that it is not helpful to think too much, and decides to continue looking down.
"In 1930, the 7th year of Rooney III, on April 3, the Marquis of Flinnan made a public speech that he would use the clockwork spirit in all fields, and that all types of demon spirits would replace the fusion of life with absolute cheapness and absolute loyalty."
"In 1930, in the 7th year of Rooney III, on April 3, a large-scale march broke out in Yale City, the capital of the Kingdom of Shavat, against the Marquis of Flinnan as the chief Chancellor of the Kingdom of Finance.
Good fellow, military-type demon spirit, it seems that Flinnan's Clockwork Association has been prepared for a long time, and Leon must have not appeared in the military field in the past so many years.
Well? This is?
Leon was about to give his thoughts, but his attention was drawn to the next message!
"In 1930, in the 7th year of Rooney III, on April 3, a bloody incident occurred in Horin, the important town of the Kingdom of Shavant. Cage, the body was found in the Sunsworth district, the murderer tortured it to death with extremely cruel means, the scene left an ancient secret language of Ampsin, the sheriff said that the murderer would be found as soon as possible, and the whole town began to investigate. ”
This is an illustrated news message, and Lyon is all too familiar with the pattern in the illustrations.
"Devout believers await your return."
The bloody text in the picture and the blood-colored pattern behind the corpse are the same as the words on the landlubber!
Maybe it wasn't for seeing these words on the spot, the weird whispers that appeared every time in Amp Sim didn't appear this time, but even without those whispers, Leon couldn't help but feel a numb scalp.
The same situation actually appeared in Holin, no wonder old Bill said that it has not been peaceful recently, could it be that it is also Pandia. Jones Trickster? But at that time, he was still at sea, how could he reach to Huolin?
Is there anyone else involved in this? Is this also a so-called ritual? What exactly do they want to do?
Can't make Pandya anymore. Jones's group of people scourge anyone, and Pandia. Jones spared the harsh words and will definitely come back to him.
In Pandia. Before Jones finds him, he must find out about this and be prepared!
For your own safety, but also for the sense of justice in your heart!
Leon continued to gather information and pulled out the next publication.
"In 1930, the 7th year of Rooney III, on April 4, there was another bloody incident in Horin, the important town of the Kingdom of Shavant. Montia, whose body was found in Queens, was found in Queens, and the murderer's methods were equally cruel, and the scene once again left the ancient secret words of Ampsin, and the sheriff began to pay close attention to it, calling on the citizens to reduce unnecessary travel at night. ”
The same reports dominated the headlines, the same words, the same graphics, and even the scene of death Leon could imagine.
"In 1930, in the 7th year of Rooney III, on April 5, the third bloody incident occurred in Horin, the important town of the Shavat Kingdom. Montia, whose body was found in the Wall neighborhood......"
