Clay is dead.

Bernice's second son was lying on his back on the floor, his throat slit, blood running down the floor, his eyes wide open.

Heywood looked at this scene, and his whole body was stunned.

At No. 2 Kirk Street, Heywood had never doubted Arthur as much as Bernice, and the other party, who had seen Arthur's abilities, was convinced of Arthur's abilities.

However, the black-hearted landlord never imagined that Arthur would be so powerful.

It can be 'prophesied'!

If I could, I would like to meet him, but I don't want him to meet me. ’

Take a look at this quote!

At that time, Lord Credos probably had already anticipated what happened to Clay, but the benevolent Lord Credos did not give up, nor did he want the Bernese to suffer this unprecedented grief, so he gave up 14 Kirk Street and 333 Russell Street, which were obviously more cost-effective, and chose to come to 17 Xilin Street first.

In order to save poor Clay.

It's a pity......

It's still too late!

"I see—your mind is really admirable, and even in the face of misunderstandings, you still give help to each other regardless of previous suspicions."

Realization crossed Heywood's face and bowed to Arthur.

This time, the black-hearted landlord looked at Arthur with a little more respect than the fear he deserved.

Arthur was tempted to show that you were thinking too much.

Coincidental!

It's all a coincidence, I just wanted to avoid becoming a 'house maker', but who knew that I would collide with the 'Favor of Death'.

Arthur, who was roaring in his heart, had a faint sadness on the surface, he looked at the corpse and said softly-

"Go call the police."

"Yes, Lord Credos."

Heywood rushed outside, and the landlord was still in a panic when the police arrived.

Maltz, who walked into No. 17 Xilin Street, looked at Arthur standing next to the corpse, and couldn't help covering his face, and when he walked over, he couldn't help but whisper-

"Arthur, why don't you recuperate at home for a few weeks before you go out?

Or how many weeks can you travel to other cities?

Everyone at the Shire police station was overloaded, and looking at Dico's dark circles, he hadn't been back to see his daughter in two days. ”

Arthur rolled his eyes as he listened.

He doesn't want to!

But it's such a coincidence, wherever he goes, there are dead people.

'It can't be that the so-called [Dark Serpent] bloodline has some unknown side effects, right? ’

Arthur muttered to himself, and raised his hand to pat the old sheriff on the shoulder.

"What about Bob?

I'm looking forward to the arrival of this friend of yours – I have a hunch that with his arrival, we won't ever experience anything like this again!

There will definitely be a whole new change! ”

Arthur pointed to Clay's corpse on the ground and swore an oath.

"It should be soon, although that guy didn't reply, but I know, he will definitely come!"

The old sheriff assured.

Arthur nodded, and then both looked at Clay.

"The technique was quite professional, and, without the slightest hesitation, wiped the neck of the deceased directly from behind."

The old sheriff stared at the wound on the corpse's throat and said with great certainty, but the next moment, when he saw the rest of the wounds on the corpse, his brow furrowed slightly.

There were four wounds on Clay's chest, lower abdomen, and so on.

Looking at the wound, it was caused by a knife or dagger.

However, the wounds are of different depths.

Moreover, the angle of the piercing into the corpse is also skewed.

The old sergeant, who served in the 'Seven Years' War and served as a police officer for another 30 years, suddenly thought of a possibility: multiple people committed crimes.

Subconsciously, the old sheriff cast an inquiring glance at his partner.

Arthur agreed with the old sheriff.

At the same time, he also pointed to the floor that was drenched in blood.

"Huh?"

The old sheriff squinted his eyes and looked closely, only then he was surprised to find that under the cover of the corpse's blood, someone had drawn a pentagram on the floor with white and red powder.

Suddenly, the old sheriff was startled.

"Won't it be?"

"It's not."

Arthur replied in the affirmative, and at the same time, he picked up a little of the white and red powder in the corner, which was not drowning in blood, and handed it to the old sheriff.

"It's ...... Salt and red brick powder? ”

The old sheriff took it, twisted his fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then his face appeared with surprise.

"Salt can ward off evil spirits, and red brick powder can keep evil spirits out of the prying eyes - this is true, but salt needs to be coarse salt, and red brick powder needs to choose red bricks from the family's thriving buildings, and it also needs blessings! What's more, the two can be used at the same time, but they must be distinct, and mixing them together like this will only interfere with each other's effects, or even be counterproductive. ”

Arthur explained.

This is the most common method of exorcism used by 'hunters' mentioned when communicating with 'Detective' Albers, if you can make salt into salt bullets and shoot them out with firearms, the effect will be better, and with iron and silver, you can effectively kill evil spirits - but there is a premise, you must use the blessing of the 'hunter' in a way that belongs to the 'hunter' to work.

To put it simply, it is useful after blessing, and if there is no blessing, it is decoration.

"In other words, some people don't know much about these things, so they make a mistake?"

The old sheriff said his guess.

"If that's all there is to it, that's really the best outcome – half-or something, always the most terrifying.

Especially on the mysterious side, these guys are the ones who do big things! ”

Arthur lowered his voice and gestured to the old sheriff from a position out of sight.

The old sheriff immediately looked grim.

The quiet old sheriff turned around and began to shout according to the process—

"Hunter, Newt, you cordon off the house.

Dico, you're going to investigate the identity of the deceased......"

"He's Clay, Bernice's second son."

Arthur said lightly on the side.

"Hey, his soul is nearby?"

The old sheriff looked to the left and right curiously, apparently trying to find the soul of the Clay.

"No, it was his parents who asked me to find him."

Arthur shook his head.

Suddenly, the expression on the old sheriff's face became complicated.

He didn't know what to say about Clay's parents.

Of course, there is absolutely no malice in this, and the old sheriff has a lot of trust in the ability of his partner, but is this kind of behavior of asking someone who is favored by the 'Grim Reaper' to find his son too imprudent?

Alas, poor Clay.

The old sheriff sighed in his heart and continued his previous words-

"Dico, you go and inform the relatives of the deceased.

Simon, you take people to visit the neighborhoods and see if anyone heard or saw anything last night. ”

"Yes, Sheriff!"

The officers and the patrol officers began to move.

The old sheriff was not idle, and together with Arthur, he carefully inspected the area at 17 Xilin Street.

However, the murderer cleaned the entire building clean, and there were no clues.

About half an hour later, Mr. and Mrs. Bernice, who had just said goodbye, reappeared, and Mrs. Bernice wept aloud as she watched her son die in a tragic manner.

Mr. Bernice's face turned pale, and the murderous intent in his eyes began to boil, and Arthur clearly saw that the gentleman made a few gestures to his bodyguard.

How can it be simple for someone who can start by balrowing a boat?

Then, the gentleman walked directly in front of Arthur and said solemnly-

"20,000 golden tickets, help me find the person who killed Clay!"

Mr. Bernice quoted a really high price.

Arthur was surprised by this, but the attention of the young 'psychic medium' was still attracted by the person walking down from a carriage behind him, and there was even more surprise in his eyes-

She, what's coming?
