Chapter 40: Precursors of the Night Attack
The vehicle quickly departed, and the carriage disappeared from view.
Director Alex is not dead......
Tang Ning stood for a long time and smiled helplessly, while understanding the origin of the letter.
This is the end of the case, and I got into the carriage on the way back and returned to Raven Town two days later.
When the local Bureau of Investigation caught fire, agents of the Bureau of Investigation who were not in the building for various reasons formed a new group and worked in temporary offices.
Upon entering the temporary premises, Director Cross was not seen.
"Mr. Stewart, Director Cross asked me to deliver this letter to you. ”
A local agent handed over a letter.
The contents of the letterhead informed the director of his whereabouts.
[Stewart, you were already back when I saw this letter, and I found some information, the name engraved on the ring is the wife of Greg Sabah, one of the directors of the Magical Association of Barbis City in the Kingdom. Sabah has a relationship, his identity does not stop here, he also serves as the king's staff, I suspect that they are plotting against the king, so I decided to take a trip to Barbis City, so that I can also find people involved in the Vision's incident, you can take a car to the Golden Water Bay Hotel in Barbis City to meet me, and summarize the information you have investigated with me - Tony Cross]
The content of the letter was brief.
Downing took out the ring that he had been carrying on his body.
Looking at the name engraved on the ring, the context of the case is already clear.
Director Alex's death is just an illusion, the purpose of the fake death is to let go of the voyeur's eye and make it impossible to suspect Alex, kill Elton and burn many agents in Raventown, the people who attacked him and Director Cross are all in the same group as Director Alex, and the identities of these people are all amazing, such as Greg Sabah, who was injured by himself, and Terte, who was killed by himself on the way west.
It is foreseeable that these people are indeed planning some huge conspiracy, but it is not clear what the specific purpose is, and it may be His Majesty the current King.
But what does His Majesty have to do with himself?
Downing didn't want to sacrifice, but Kroos, who was kind to him, didn't need to risk his life for it.
With this in mind, he decided to go to the city of Barbis and persuade the director to give up.
Before leaving, he had to meet Sonia Hello.
......
Entering the tailor's shop, Sonia Haylo was cutting clothes, and when she saw the young man entering the door, she immediately pounced.
"Downing, I heard that you went to the west, and I'm worried about you. ”
Downing hugged the girl for a moment before taking out the bounty he had received on the way.
"I'll buy you something, I'll have to rush to Barbis City tonight. ”
After a brief chat, leaving the tailor shop, Downing rushed to the local car dealership, this time renting a horse, after receiving a warning letter to change the itinerary, those people should not sneak attack themselves, they can go on the road alone, so that the speed is faster.
......
Located on the southern side of the Nobo Plain, the Barbis Hills are a long way to go, requiring at least two days to ride a horse.
In the evening, Downing set out, just in time to think about how to persuade Director Cross, who was obsessed with the case.
......
Barbis City
A local residential area inhabited by local nobles and officials.
Cross walked through the garden in front of the courtyard to a two-story luxury villa and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened.
An emaciated old man appeared in front of the door, looking kind.
"Are you ......?"
Cross looked at the old man's palm, which was missing a finger, and the wound on the finger had healed.
Healing wounds quickly in the Age of Magic is not a difficult task.
Bow respectfully.
"Hello Mr. Greg Sabah, I'm Tony Cross, the director of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau from Momiji Town in the Wild Plains. ”
Hearing the visitor's self-introduction, Greg Sabah smiled.
"Mr. Cross, is there anything you can do?"
Cross hesitated for a moment to explain quietly.
"I would like to visit you and ask about something, if it is convenient for you......"
......
Entering the house and taking a seat, Greg Sabah poured water for the visitors.
Cross glanced at the lack of water, looked around, and then asked deliberately.
"You should be aware of the Vision, I'm in charge of investigating. ”
Greg Sabah nodded and smiled.
"Of course, I know that His Majesty has ordered the investigation bureaus throughout the country to assist in the investigation, but unfortunately I can't help much in this matter. ”
Cross smiled.
"Okay, then bother. ”
After a brief chat, Cross left, and asked deliberately as he walked to the door.
"Isn't your wife there?"
Greg Sabah kept smiling.
"My wife has been dead for a long time. ”
"I'm sorry. ”
After leaving the villa, Cross's face flushed, and from the wound on his finger, he could basically confirm that the murderer was this person, but he couldn't act rashly, and when Tang Ning came, the two of them summarized the information they had investigated, and then informed the director of the General Bureau of the Kingdom Supernatural Incident Investigation Bureau himself, the case was no longer something that a person of his level could solve alone.
Back at the Golden Bay Hotel in the evening, lying in bed, Cross tossed and turned.
"I don't know how Downing's investigation is going. ”
At this time, there was a crunch sound from the window, and the glass was shattered.
Cross quickly sat up, ran to the window, and saw the figure downstairs across the street.
The figure on the other side of the street hooked his finger and quickly turned to leave.
Cross always slept in his clothes, and he quickly opened the door to leave, only to reach the door and return to the house, picked up the parchment paper on the table and wrote a line with a pen, and then closed the door and rushed out of the room.
The streets are deserted, and light snow is falling at this time.
The slippery ground made running a bit difficult.
After chasing several streets in a row, I turned into a small alley, which was pitch black and my vision was blocked.
Standing at the mouth of the alley, Cross reflected on the experience he had just had.
Every time the other party arrives at the end of a street, he will always stop and wait for him to follow, which is obviously a trap.
After hesitating for a moment, he stood at the mouth of the alley.
There was a whistling sound in the alley, clearly provocative.
Cross frowned, took a few steps back, and stood on the street, now more than Patience.
After waiting for a long time, the whistle in the alley disappeared.
Cross let out a long sigh of relief and returned to his hotel room.
After calming down, he suddenly felt that he was a bit presumptuous, and that he should not have visited Greg Sabah in the first place, and now this has aroused the alarm of the other party.
But at this point, there is nothing to regret.
When he came to his senses, he returned to his desk and threw the message on the parchment into the trash.
There was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door.
Cross frowned, and walked lightly to the door, a faint fire burning in his palm, waiting for the moment to break in.
