Chapter 129: Lady Athena

In the end, it was written that the case was closed by Chris, Paul, and a city lord's palace guard named Zach Hand, but in the end, the killer was rescued by a female companion.

Wardhouse roughly guessed what had happened, and then lied to Chris, and sure enough.

"If you want me to forget about it, it's okay. Wardhouse smiled, "But I need you to help me with a tricky case." ”

"No problem, Corps, please. James patted his strong chest and said loudly.

"In a small town on the outskirts of the city, there are frequent disappearances, and we have sent two members of the 'Disciplinary Ones' before, but they have never returned, so I need to send a whole extraordinary team to investigate the situation. ”

As he spoke, Wardhouse searched the table, pulled out a stack of report files, and threw them in front of James, and Chris glanced at them, only to see that the first page above read:

The case of the missing person in the small town of Solari.

James picked up the dossier, flipped through it roughly, and said with a serious expression:

"The corps can rest assured that this case has been handed over to us, and the murderer behind the scenes will definitely be found. ”

Wardhouse leaned back in his chair with a relaxed expression and cheered:

"Then I'll wait here for your good news, give you a week, if nothing progresses, then the recent rumors ......"

James hurriedly interrupted:

"Since this case is so tricky, can we apply for seals and magical items?"

Wardhouse waved his hand, "The seal can't be done, because I don't know what the situation is there, and there are only three magical items." ”

As he spoke, Wardhouse held out three fingers.

"Headquarters, this ......"

"Two pieces. Wardhouse's fingers withdrew one.

"Okay, Corps. James hurriedly agreed, fearing that if he continued to talk about it, there would be nothing.

Then Wardhouse placed the box containing the black stone in his hand on the table, and said to Chris:

"Since this extraordinary trait was given to you by that lady, take it back and keep it for yourself. ”

How dare Chris leave this hot thing by himself, he quickly shook his head, and made an excuse:

"This extraordinary property has been contaminated, and it is useless to give it to me, so I would better leave it with you. ”

Wardhouse gave Chris a surprised look, and then laughed:

"Also, I can't sell it for a good price from you, so I'll try to see if I can extract the extraordinary properties of the 'Pyroman' from it, and maybe make a magical item. ”

As he spoke, Wardhouse looked at Chris with dark blue eyes and said with a smirk:

"But I can't work in vain, you're going to have to pay me for the labour. ”

This...... The poor Chris smiled stiffly and asked in a low voice:

"I don't know how many gold pounds I have to pay, if it's too expensive......"

James on the side patted Chris on the shoulder and laughed:

"What are you talking about, if you are short of money, I can lend it to you, after all, there are not many opportunities for the corps to personally help us make magical items. ”

"Two choices. "The first is the cost of 2,000 gold pounds for labour, which includes the labour of extracting the intact part from the extraordinary properties of the pollution." ”

"And what about the second one?"

Chris had already given up on this choice when he heard the number 2000. He couldn't afford 200 gold pounds, after all, the only few hundred gold pounds were his joint property with Bert and Bonnie.

Wardhouse looked like this, and smiled:

"Then the next time you see that lady, please bring her to me. ”

It suddenly occurred to Chris that neither option could be realized.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I can wait. ”

With that, Wardhouse waved impatiently, signaling that they could leave.

After coming out of Wardhouse's office, Chris looked at James and asked:

"Shall we go to Solari tomorrow?" asked Chris, following the long-legged James.

"Let's wait two more days, since this is a case that the general team finds difficult, we also need to prepare well. ”

Don't look at James's humble appearance on the surface, in fact, he is the most thoughtful person as the leader of this extraordinary team.

Chris then followed James to the police station.

Except for Wayne, who was on duty last night, and Bert, who injured his right arm, everyone was here.

"Paul, have there been any cases at the police department these two days?" asked James as soon as he entered the police office.

Because the sewer ghost case has been dealt with in the past few days, and the black feather case that extends next, the police department has not paid much attention to it.

"There was just one thing, and just this morning, Mrs. Athena died of a heart attack. But the police department felt that it was not so simple, so they submitted the file. Paul replied with the report in his hand.

"Lady Athena, what a pity. James lamented.

"Who is Lady Athena?" asked Bonnie, who was sipping coffee.

At the age of 30, she was a well-known capitalist in Federenburg, and at the age of 30, she had already set up a public school in her own name and set up a foundation for poor children. Elton, sitting on the couch, replied.

"Yes, although all her assets come from her deceased father, she is a good philanthropist. James followed suit.

"And does she still have a living family?" asked Bonnie.

Her husband, Mr. Lizzie Kirk, and her sister Mona. Elton said.

"Well, after all, Lady Athena helped a lot of people during her lifetime, Chris and Paul, you two should go over and help find out. James thought for a moment and commanded, "Since Elton and Jeffrey, you go out to collect extraordinary cases, and Bonnie and I stay here." ”

"No problem, Boss, wait for the good news. Chris patted his chest as James did, and hurriedly agreed.

"You kid, don't go yet. James smiled and waved.

So Paul and the others walked into the noisy and busy police station hall, where they saw Officer Andre in a police uniform.

"You two, is it for Mrs. Athena?" asked Andre as Paul and Chris walked in, after all, he had sent someone to report the case to the second floor in the backyard this morning.

"Yes, Mr. Officer," Paul replied.

"Well, we're on our way to Lady Athena's house. Andrei laughed.

Then, as if thinking of something, he called a young policeman behind him and said to him:

"Todd, it was their team that saved you last time, oh and the brother and sister who reported the crime, and now they have also joined the special ops team. ”

The young policeman named Todd immediately bowed to the two and thanked them:

"Thank you so much for keeping me alive. ”

It turned out that he was one of the two policemen who were kidnapped by the three vampires, and the lucky one survived.

Paul and Chris naturally hurriedly helped Todd up, and said with a smile:

"We're all colleagues in the police department, and fighting crime, that's all as it should be. ”

"Alright, let's go to Lady Athena's house now. After AndrΓ© finished speaking, he walked out of the police station with the three of them.

When the four of them arrived at Mrs. Athena's home in the West Side in a public carriage, a crowd of reporters had already surrounded them, but they were stopped by several police officers outside the cordon.

Chris couldn't help but ask suspiciously:

"With Lady Athena's status, how could she choose to live here?"

The implication is obvious, the West End is a Fedelenburg slum, and Mrs. Athena, who has a lot of money, really shouldn't live here.

"You don't know. "Her father came from the West End, and after her father died, she moved in with her husband and sister. ”

Immediately, the four of them walked through a group of reporters and people watching the excitement, and walked into a three-story building with simple decoration.

In the hall on the first floor, a young lady in the most fashionable dress of the moment was crying the sofa.

She is Lady Athena's own sister, Mona.

Her sister, Mrs. Athena, was lying quietly on the carpet beside her, as if she were asleep.

Seeing Andrei coming in, a tall policeman ran over and said:

"Officer, it has been examined, and Mrs. Athena does not have any wounds on her body, she should have died of a heart attack. ”

Then Andrei walked up to Mona, who was convulsing and crying, and asked:

"Your sister has a history of heart disease?"

"Yes, Mr. Officer, she has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has been complaining about heart discomfort a few days ago, I thought I would take her to the hospital for a check-up in the past two days, but I didn't expect ......"

As she spoke, Mona couldn't help but cry.

Andrei glanced at the coroner who was squatting beside the deceased, and seeing Andrei's inquiring gaze, the coroner nodded thoughtfully.

A moment of silence ensued, for Paul had gone to the rest of the living room by this time, and had carefully surveyed every corner.

Chris, on the other hand, looked at Mrs. Athena quietly, thinking to himself that it would be nice if Jeffrey was here, not only could he know the truth through the other party's undissipated spirit in minutes, but he could also comfort the other party's soul.

Now Chris doesn't know that at any time, it's good not to have anyone here, once this kind of thought arises, it means that he is not confident in himself.

It also has to do with Chris's growing up environment, and if Bert had been here, he wouldn't have had that idea, even if he didn't have a clue about it.

"Lend the light, lend the light, let me in!"

A middle-aged man with short blond hair and a decent black tuxedo silhouette squeezed in from the noisy crowd outside the door.

Seeing the lady lying on the blanket on the ground, the man hurried over and shouted:

"It's not true! What the hell is going on?"
