Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 98 The Incident Begins

264
Judging from the appearance of the assistant's shattered death, this murder can be regarded as very vicious, so Klein was interrogated for a longer period of time and the questions were more rigorous.However, with the company of regular lawyers and Klein's innocence, the interrogation went smoothly.

Klein took the initiative to tell the whole story about his contact with Essinger to agree on a meeting time, and the police inspectors successfully found the corresponding letter in his residence, but these things were not enough to dispel Klein's suspicion of murder.Fortunately, the body of Essinger Stanton was not found in the mansion. As long as the victim can be successfully found and he can testify, things will turn around.

Thinking of this, Klein said decisively to the police officers: "Mr. Isengard Stanton and I were once employed by the Backlund Police Department to investigate the previous serial murder case."

"The murderer behind the serial murders has brutal methods. Judging from Mr. Essinger's assistant, the victim, the murderer this time is very likely to be related to the previous one. Maybe he is an accomplice to avenge his companion."

These things came to him after he saw the "Legend of Demons in the Sivelas Region" that fell on the floor in the living room. His intuition accurately grasped the connection between this matter and the "demon", so Only then did he think of calling Mr. Edward when he informed Jurgen to come and get him.

When the police officer opened the door and went to his residence to look for letters, Klein took a look outside and saw the fellow angel sitting upright on one side of the long corridor, with his head slightly lowered and his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap. wait.

After all, you don't know when you can leave the police station. The "devil" will not wait for you. The sooner the news is delivered, the better.

Therefore, Klein immediately changed his strategy, and described the process of getting acquainted with Isengard Stanton due to the serial murder case in great detail.

In addition, he also took the initiative to mention that Isengard Stanton organized a group of detectives to investigate serial murders and successfully obtained part of the reward.

"In that commission, although I only gave some ideas, um, in the professional terminology of the private detective industry, I provided consulting opinions, but Mr. Stanton still thought that I contributed the most, so I got the most Bounty." Klein finally concluded.

The two police officers in charge of the interrogation took notes on the situation and asked if anyone could prove the above. Klein gave the names and addresses of Stuart, Kaslana and other private investigators.

"Very good, Mr. Moriarty, your answer is detailed enough." A police officer stopped his pen and asked instead, "How long have you been at Isengard Stanton's house today? I mean from entering to be discovered by us."

Klein thought for a while, and without consulting Lawyer Jurgen, he replied directly, "Two to three minutes."

He's talking about real personal feelings.

Another police officer raised his eyebrows and said, "Many nearby residents can confirm that you entered Isengard Stanton's house around 28:8 pm, and we arrived at the scene at 3:[-] pm, that is to say, you Been inside the house for [-] minutes or so, not two to three minutes!"

"What have you been doing for such a long time? Why didn't you leave and call the police?"

Eighteen minutes have passed?Klein suddenly frowned.

He felt that he had been in a stalemate with the one who was watching silently for at most a minute, how come a full 1 minutes had passed?

This question is unfavorable to Klein, and there are some suspicions of irrational words. The accompanying lawyer Jurgen leaned forward slightly, trying to appropriately change the subject.But Klein was not afraid of the shadow slanting, stopped Jurgen, and said his true feelings without embellishment.

"I do think it's only been two or three minutes."

He emphasized "his own feelings".

By the time the interrogation was over and all the evidence had been extracted, it was almost dark.

After tossing and tossing for so long, and finally being charged 50 pounds of bail, Klein was in a very bad mood.

After everything was over, it was already past dinner time. Jurgen originally wanted to invite Klein to his house as a guest, but considering the devil, he had to tell Mr. Edward quickly. Klein reluctantly refused this delicious dinner. .Jurgen was not surprised when he heard that, he had already guessed that the two had something important to communicate in private.

He was worried that Mrs. Doris was old and in poor health, and would be lonely at home alone, so he told Klein a few words, and got in the carriage first and left.Only then did Klein finally have the opportunity to talk about this matter with Edward in detail.

265
"I understand."

After listening to Klein's introduction, Edward replied rather disappointed: "I didn't expect the Beria family to have withered their talents to such an extent. The devil's way is really dead. A Sequence 5 kid actually didn't kill that Detective Essinger." , didn’t kill you, but you two joined forces for a full ten minutes, and dragged the neighbors to call the police. It sounds like I don’t need to do it at all, and this skill will be arrested by the church soon.”

The demon's speaking style is really demonic, it's like "neither of you would survive if it were me"... well, it probably is.

Klein blushed: "Have you confirmed that he is Sequence 5?"

"Yes." Edward used a fork to cut off a corner of the butter muffin on the plate, and replied thoughtfully, "Killing people by disturbing emotions belongs to the basic use of the ability of "Apostle of Desire".In situations of high tension or panic, the mind misjudges the flow of time.The simplest example, in novels, there is often a description like "the moment when the bomb explodes seems to be extremely long", right?Not only to express that atmosphere, but also because human senses are easily affected by various emotional factors and create illusions. "

Humans have very keen senses and are therefore easily deceived.The five senses such as sight, taste, and smell can easily mislead humans as long as they are properly deceived, and even strong emotions can affect their judgment.

"So it is."

It was already dark outside, and the club's chef should have left work, but Klein hadn't had dinner yet.So Edward simply invited him to take a rest and eat something in a pretty good cafe, and bluntly said that these were all given by the information.

After glancing at the price list, Klein immediately turned his face up in shock: "Isn't my information worth so much money?"

"How come, you have to believe that even some small news, there is the possibility of benefiting others."

Edward tactfully brushed aside this topic, and of course he would not say bluntly, "Because I have been waiting for Beria to do something for more than a month, and now you tell me this information is really a timely help."Having said all this, Klein stopped being polite and ordered a thick soup, a cake, and a staple lobster pasta, while Edward chose his favorite light cream muffin with some chestnuts Crushed, the taste is very refreshing.

"As for that Beria, do you have any other ideas?"

Klein rolled the pasta with a fork, picked up a lobster shell, took a big mouthful, chewed and swallowed hard, and then said: "The information is limited, the first victim now is Essinger Sir, I can only guess that the Devilhound associates are taking revenge on every detective involved in the investigation. Even if I don't run into him today, he will come to kill me sooner or later."

"Yes." Edward didn't take it seriously, "It's actually a good thing to meet you early, you saved Isinger's life, and you also successfully found out that a demon has been secretly eyeing you, otherwise it would be great to hide in the dark It’s because he’s not clever enough to expose himself that he hasn’t succeeded.”

...It's so easy to do... Klein choked on this devil's speech again.Judging by Edward's expression, he probably, possibly, perhaps, is really thinking about how to kill all the detectives one by one without leaving a trace if he is a Sequence 5!

It's not incomprehensible, haha... Klein wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist in his heart, and thought differently, if I saw a fake fortune-teller who was bluffing and deceiving, I might think the same way.

Talking to demons can be really stressful.But now I know that among the many families related to demons, the most powerful Beria family has a tradition of cultivating extraordinary animals as assistants, which is really a luxury. This reminds me of Miss Justice and her pet dog.

And it formed a loose organization "Blood Cult" together with the Andrerad and North families. Although some information only said that the latter was declining, it now seems that the latter two should be attached to the former.

Although a lot of knowledge about the ways of demons can be obtained from the little "sun", after all, the land abandoned by the gods has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and a lot of information is outdated.

The delicious food calmed Klein's depressed mood to a certain extent, and the presence of Edward also made Klein feel very safe now.So, in a relatively relaxed environment, they settled for dinner.

266
When the two returned to Minsk Street in Jorwood District, it was completely dark, and the light from the gas street lamp was even brighter than the crimson moon that seemed to be absent in the mid-air.

After getting a delicious and sumptuous dinner from Senior Angel, Edward chose to take a walk back with Klein out of safety considerations and because he lived in a large neighborhood.Under the cold red moon, in the cold winter air, an old survivor and an alien god leisurely came to No. 15 Minsk Street.

"Then I'll send it here." Edward stood still on the side of the street and bid farewell, "Goodbye, Klein."

"Thank you for sending me back, maybe we will see you tomorrow." Klein couldn't help but joked.

There was "Becklund Daily" in the mailbox at the door. Klein's thoughts diverged for a moment, and he remembered that the angel behind him seemed to be one of the special editors of this newspaper.

He took the newspaper, opened the door and entered the room, just as he put the cane down, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

His diviner spiritual intuition told him that a stranger had entered his home!

Is it the police who came to collect evidence earlier?Klein looked around vigilantly, and suddenly found a letter on the coffee table.

There should only be newspapers there!
Klein entered the living room on guard against attacks at all times, and moved closer to the coffee table. During the whole process, the surroundings were quiet and there was nothing unusual.

After looking down at the letter for a few moments, Klein took out his black gloves and put them on before picking it up and opening it.

Inside the envelope was a thin piece of letter paper. Immediately after opening it, a dark red color entered Klein's eyes, and a faint smell of blood lingered in his nose.

On the letter paper, a line of words was written in coagulated blood:
"You are all going to die!"

This... is really the owner of the devil dog?Is he taking revenge on the related people who caused his subordinates to die?It's really bullying, why don't you go directly to the Nighthawks who are in charge of the removal operation?Klein's heart tightened, and many thoughts flashed through in an instant.

But he quickly dismissed his complaints.It is the most normal choice for revenge to start with those who can deal with it, just like when he came to Backlund for several months, he never thought of looking for Ince Zangwill and that unidentified strong man, but chased Lanwusi is not the same.

After looking around again, Klein gradually felt that this matter was a bit confusing:

"Revenge in such a ostentatious way, aren't you afraid of being guarded by the official strong? Is this his requirement for potion acting?
"Or, because Detective Isengard Stanton escaped, he knew that he could no longer covertly eliminate the targets one by one, so he could only use another method, but this method is meaningless?

"Also, when he was at Detective Stanton's house, he clearly locked me in and kept watching me, why didn't he do it? Could he still be concerned about me, an ordinary private detective?

"No, it's absolutely impossible...he knows I'm a Beyonder? It's possible, because of the side effect of getting lost in the master key, I met the devil dog directly. It saw my appearance and figure, although I didn't do it at the time. A certain disguise, but I don't know if the 'demon' can see through this...

"Maybe, after that incident, it can be presented to its owner in some way...

"However, I couldn't even beat the devil dog at the time, so I could only flee in embarrassment. What did he have to worry about? Unless, he also worried about other things, such as Isengard Stanton who was hidden nearby due to injury?

"He wrote to me very ostentatiously, because he thought that I, a wild Extraordinary, would not dare to seek official help?"

Klein inspected the house with his mind full of doubts, all the way to the second floor.

When he opened the bedroom door, another letter jumped into his eyes.The letter lay quietly on the desk, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

Klein picked up the unpacked package, gently unfolded it, and saw a line of words outlined in dark red blood:
"You're next."

The next one... how arrogant... Klein couldn't help sighing a few words.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something, raised his head, and looked out the window.

The brilliance of gas street lamps reflected on their outer walls, forming areas of interlaced light and dark.

Suddenly, the shadows in those areas squirmed and twisted, forming a black shadow in a stiff tuxedo.

The shadow raised its right hand, made a gun shape, and pointed it at Klein.

Immediately, it withdrew its arm and blew on the "muzzle".

Immediately afterwards, it fell back silently, turning into countless disconnected shadows again.

……

"I didn't expect to see you so soon."

Edward, who hadn't reached the intersection of the street, stood under the gas street lamp, gently rubbed the head of the cane with his right hand, and his expression was a little funny: "You said he sent you a threatening letter? He left such an obvious mystical connection , really relying on anti-divination to suspect that my life will be long."

"Is this kid leaving the Beria family's jurisdiction for the first time?"

That's really good. He also knows how to use smoke bombs. If it wasn't for me, I would have guessed that Beria came to Backlund alone for some other purpose. Now I must feel that he is out of his mind.

Sending threatening letters to every detective who killed a dog with great fanfare, and doing something to that Isinger in advance, is it all to attract the attention of detectives and officials?The police will be under martial law for a long time, so that he can have enough space to do something secretly.

Not bad, although the strength is not good, but the cunning is barely qualified.

Considering the anti-divination characteristics of the devil path, Edward didn't ask too much.

Klein was also helpless, and had already started planning to call the police. He said to himself beside him, "After picking up the threatening letter, I saw a black shadow on the roof opposite from the window..."

Edward raised his eyebrows slightly: "The upstairs opposite, just now?"

"Yes."

"I see." He glanced there in the direction of Klein's finger, and smiled, "You are very brave."

I didn't see it, I didn't feel it at all.

It was, all the time, empty.
