Chapter 230: Strange Things Happen

By the time Wren and Adam arrived, the "Executioner" had already left, and Councillor Heston's body was lying in the podium, his head rolling out.

Adam took out two white cloths out of nowhere, covered the bodies separately, and then ran to ask nearby onlookers if they had seen the prisoner flee to where.

Wren walked over to the place where the head had fallen, crouched down, and lifted the corner of the white cloth slightly to look at the people inside. Although there was a lot of blood on the face during the fall, the deceased's original appearance could still be vaguely recognized.

"It's the Heston Councillor, but who killed him?"

The confusion of Brica's high-level members was experienced by Wren, and Alexia also pointed it out in the letters left behind, so when a councillor was killed, Wren was shocked but also calm. It's just that why did the murderer dress up like that, why did he choose to kill people in this place?

Is it a simple provocation?

If so, is it a bit of a coincidence that I only heard the name Heston Heston in the morning?

Just as Wren was distracted, he was suddenly lifted up by the collar from behind.

"Don't mess around here!"

You can tell who it is by listening to the voice, and this is the way that he is called, which makes Wren feel like some schoolboy.

He stood up and straightened his clothes again before he said to the solemn Captain Seven, "That's what Councilor Heston assigned us with a mission in the morning, right?" ”

Wren tried to tie the two things together, asking for something from the captain, but Captain Seven didn't seem to want him to get involved too much.

"Are you done?"

"There's one left...... But things are prioritized, and I think the murder case is more important at the moment. ”

Captain Seven pushed Wren back, and several members of the security team immediately pulled him out: "You are just an informal member, and it is not your turn to intervene in this kind of thing until your professionalism is assessed." In addition, since you have taken over the task, you must complete it, and there is no priority. The person who reported the crime is waiting for you, hurry up! ”

“……”

Wren finally left to investigate the last mission, and after thinking about it, he was not a professional, and he probably didn't see anything wrong with staying. He has already said what he should have said, and the Captain Seven who can think of it must have thought of it too, so it is better to ask about the results of the investigation afterwards.

He was accompanied by Adam, the "old driver" who was still a little frightened by what had happened, so the car drove very slowly.

"Wren."

"Huh?" Wren was leaning against the window thinking about things at this time, and casually responded.

"I think I'm going to have a big mess lately."

Wren was slightly interested, he turned his head and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Ever since the appearance of the Armored Monster, many criminals have been imitating him to commit crimes."

Wren nodded, "I know that. ”

"Some of these people are directly disguised as armor monsters, and some are like armor monsters, wearing all kinds of strange clothes when committing crimes. Most criminals don't have the same powerful and magical powers as the Armored Monsters, so they tend to be caught immediately, but if they don't, they usually commit the crime again. ”

Wren frowned when he heard this, and then shook his head, he didn't think that this "executioner" was an imitation of his "criminal methods". But there is one thing Adam said that he agrees with:

"Do you think the offender will commit another crime in the near future?"

"There is a great possibility. What a headache, how can there be so many rampant guys. ”

Wren didn't answer, and began to look out the window again in thought. It is not clear what the true identity and purpose of the "executioner" is, but if the other party is coming for him, then he must make some preparations in advance.

……

Ten minutes later, the car stopped outside a residence on Fast Avenue, and Wren and Adam got out of the car and saw the landlord who called the police, a tall female orc.

It's just that the other party's courage seems to be a little different from the impression that this race has always given people.,Very timid.。

After seeing the two of them, they kept crying.

"You're finally here!" The landlord pulled Adam's sleeve, and tears were about to fall: "This has really scared me to death!" ”

Adam smiled awkwardly, feeling like his uniform was about to be torn apart.

He couldn't personally investigate such a big case as the killing of a parliamentarian, and he had to come to do such a trivial matter, which is all to blame......

It seems that the person to blame is dead......

"Okay, ma'am, I've seen the records when you reported the crime, and we've checked the identity of the other party, and there's no problem. It's just that the rented house uses a lot of electricity, isn't it? Didn't the tenant pay? ”

"It's not!" 520

The orc landlord grabbed Adam's hand and shook it a few times, and Wren looked as if he was about to lose his footing......

"The one who rented the house paid a whole year's rent, and I went to the power station to check, and the person paid a large amount of electricity bill in advance."

Adam asked listlessly, "Can't pay enough for electricity?" ”

"That's enough, it's a lot of money."

"That's not the end of it."

"But I've calculated that all the electrical appliances in my room, even if they are all turned on all day long, they won't need so much electricity, not even a fraction."

Adam still couldn't get interested, and the situation wasn't worth the fuss, especially since he had just seen a member of parliament beheaded in public.

"Ma'am," Adam reassured, "that the other party uses a lot of electricity, but it is also within the normal range, and the people have also paid the rent and electricity bills, so we can't suspect him because of that." Maybe he just purchased some high-power electrical appliances by himself, or he was conducting some magic experiments, and now many magicians like to use electricity as an energy source, which is relatively stable. As long as it is not a dangerous experiment, a mage with relevant safety credentials can carry out the experiment. ”

Adam explained, but the timid landlord still didn't believe it, and she desperately searched for something she thought was suspicious.

"That guy never went out!"

"Every day, people bring food."

"The person who delivered the food also said that he had never seen the guest take the food in person, and he let it be placed on the living room table."

"And ......"

"Alright, ma'am, we're ......"

"We can look into it."

Adam looked at Wren in some surprise as he interrupted the landlord's chattering complaints, only to be interrupted by Wren himself.

Wren pulled Adam back, and then said to the landlord, "Let's go visit this tenant, and if he's really experimenting, let's check his permit, so you can rest assured, ma'am." ”

The landlord hurriedly thanked him, and Wren led Adam to the residence.

Standing in the doorway, Adam asked in a low voice, "Wasn't you impatient before?" Why did you suddenly become interested in this? ”

"It's nothing, it just feels like things might be a little more complicated than we thought."

Adam wondered, "Why?" ”

"It's just a feeling."

"It's not in order, and although we usually do a lot of research into what seems out of the ordinary, like I said, there is nothing wrong with this tenant. Heavy electricity consumption abounds in Brica, and finding someone to deliver food to the door may just be because he is very busy, which is a very common thing, not abnormal at all. It's like you can't investigate a person just because he has a sweet tooth. ”

"Knock knock~"

Wren had already knocked on the door by this time, and he said to Adam, "Let's take a look first." ”

Adam had no choice but to stand aside and see what Wren was going to do, thinking that Wren was on his first mission today, so he always wanted to make a big news.

After all, doing chores all day long is a bit discouraged.

A middle-aged man's voice came from the room: "Who is it?" ”

"Deliver lunch!"

"The door is not closed, just put the food on the living room table, sorry, I'm busy."

"Okay."

Wren glanced at Adam, who pouted and motioned for Wren to take care of it himself.

So Wren pushed the door open and walked in. I looked at the living room, it was very clean and didn't look like no one had lived in it.

Wren stood in the living room for a while, and soon the man's voice came from upstairs again: "Kaka, help me bring up the food." ”

Not long after, a flower cat wearing an apron and walking upright ran down from the upper floor, jumped onto the table, and when he found that there was no food, he glared at Wren.

Wren glanced upstairs and shouted, "Sorry, sent to the wrong place, excuse me." ”

There was no response from upstairs, and Wren smiled at the cat and exited the room.

Adam teased, "Shame on you?" They also have magic followers, and they look quite smart. ”

Wren was noncommittal.
