Chapter 2 A Special Murder Case in Red Leaf Town!

There are always some cases that can be handled by the Church of Light in the wizarding world, the Church of Light has the power to investigate, but the law enforcement agencies of the Church have fewer personnel, and most of the energy is focused on punishing those who desecrate the supernatural power owners of the Church, and there is no time to take care of the supernatural power events in the world, in order to ensure the safety of the residents of the kingdom, the king and the leaders of the Church of Light jointly signed a document to establish the Paranormal Incident Investigation Bureau, which works under the supervision of both parties, and the salary is paid by the kingdom's treasury.

Occult Investigator members are primarily recruited from members of the Magical Society, so in order to become an official agent of the Paranormal Investigation, you need to be a member of the Magical Society.

In desperation, Cheng Xiao could only temporarily become a temporary worker in the Supernatural Events Investigation Bureau.

During this period, because of his good work performance, he was recognized by all the agents of the local Paranormal Investigation Bureau, and the agents unanimously recommended Downing to become an official agent.

However, this kind of promotion had no effect on the dogmatic and old-fashioned Alex, and he righteously refused, because the temporary worker did not enter the Magic Association, and directly summoned to the Bureau of Occult Events, and once he encountered an evil person with supernatural powers, it would be a devastating blow to Tangning.

Agents eventually found a convincing reason.

"Downing has a special ability in supernatural powers, because he lives like a normal person without a soul or a body, which in itself is a special ability, a kind of supernatural power. ”

There are twelve types of supernatural powers in this world, namely: Elven Magic, Dark Magic, Ancient Magic, Summoning Magic, Grand Ritual Magic, Illusion, Enchantment, Special Abilities, Spells, Spirituality, Transformation/Transfiguration, Divine Magic/Darkness.

The definition of special ability is the ability that magical creatures are born with, and the principle is the same as that of magic spells, but without chanting, rituals, etc.

However, in the face of this reason, Alex still chose to refuse!

So he can only continue to work here as a temporary worker, waiting for a turnaround.

I didn't expect to work for two years, and now I finally see a ray of light.

......

As I looked down at the card in my hand, I heard the sound of noisy footsteps outside the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation.

Downing quickly put the cards away, got up and walked quickly to the door of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau.

The door was slammed open, revealing a strange middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat and a Paranormal Bureau badge made of brass on his chest.

Behind him, many members of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau who had left earlier rushed in, with solemn expressions.

Tang Ning stepped aside and watched as everyone entered the large conference room on the first floor of the Investigation Bureau, and then the door slammed shut.

What happened?

He looked down and guessed that the atmosphere in the Bureau of Occult Investigations had never been more solemn.

Curious, I arrived at the door of the conference, and my ears were pressed against the black-and-red lacquered door to eavesdrop.

"Bang".

A black-and-red lacquered door opened, and a familiar agent's head sticked out.

Downing quickly retracted his head, and was thinking about how to explain his actions when the agent spoke.

"Tang Ning, come in quickly, don't be stunned. ”

Tang Ning was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he walked over and entered the room, the black pressure below was a crowd, the atmosphere was equally solemn, and the middle-aged man stood in front of everyone.

The door closed again, and the agent who had just called Downing in raised his right hand and pressed it to his chest to salute, which was the etiquette of the Supernatural Events Bureau when he met his boss, and then opened his mouth to explain.

"Chief Cross, this is Downing Stewart, whom we recommend. ”

Downing was still puzzled, the unofficial members were forbidden to attend meetings of the Bureau of Occult Investigations, and he would have to wait a week to become a full member......

The middle-aged man on the stage nodded.

"Downing Stewart, as the new Director, I am officially appointing you as the official agent of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau in Red Leaf Town. ”

"Isn't the new director going to take office in a week and handle the handover ceremony with Mr. Alex?" Tang Ning listened to the middle-aged man's description, and there was another question mark in his mind.

The new director did not intend to explain to the newcomers, and his voice was solemn and serious.

"Time is a bit of a tight now, and your badge will be distributed in a week. ”

Tang Ning's brain was completely blank because of these doubts just now, and he came back to his senses and sat down on the vacant seat under the whispering prompt of a familiar colleague.

Cross immediately issued the order.

"Director Alex was killed an hour ago, there are attempts to challenge the authority of the law enforcers, we must find the killer within a week and bring him to justice, otherwise Momiji Town will become a joke. ”

Director Alex was killed......

Tang Ning finally understood why the new director of the bureau would take office quickly and become a regular in advance.

Next is to assign work.

Director Cross will take five detectives to the scene of the murder.

The remaining agents are to be out and immediately investigate the occult owners within the town of Momiji, including members of the Magic Society's register and those in hiding.

Needless to say, Director Alex, who can kill a magician, must be the owner of supernatural powers who can do magic, and there is no problem with his thinking.

Immediately after the adjournment of the meeting, all members went to their assigned area.

Sitting in the specially assigned carriage, the two people who were traveling with Tangning looked solemn, as if to commemorate Alex's passing, a light rain like pine needles began to fall in the night sky, and the unpleasant smell of dust and feces mixed together was now subdued.

The horse's hooves clattered, and Vertonghen, who sat opposite, broke the peace.

"Alex is a good man, in a week, he will retire, he could have enjoyed his time with his wife, but now ...... It's hard to accept. ”

Erwin, who was traveling with him, patted Vertonghen on the back.

"What we can do now is to find out the murderer so that Alex can receive Heaven's mercy and ascend to heaven in a week's time. ”

According to the Church of Light, a person is resurrected a week after death and will be judged by heaven and hell to determine whether the soul of the deceased will ascend to heaven or fall into hell.

Compared with the rest of the people, Tang Ning's mood at the moment was a little complicated.

Alex was a good guy when he recruited himself into the Paranormal Investigation Bureau, who was completely incapable of practicing magic, but the dogmatic Alex rejected the joint offer of most agents to recruit him as a full member several times, citing the rules.

He gave himself a chance, but he prevented himself from achieving his ultimate goal.

If Alex is impeccable in terms of dealing with people, he is a good person in the true sense of the word.

During the carriage ride, Downing read the investigative accounts from the scene of the crime that were distributed to everyone.
