leading to the throne

Chapter 28: Connecting Wires
Watching Colin and Davelin walk out of the gymnasium on the screen, Captain Robin looked away.

"Any new discoveries?" Professor Verna's voice came from the small radio next to her.

Captain Robin said in a low voice: "He was sitting all the time, didn't speak, and didn't make unnecessary movements, but for some reason, he just didn't fit in with the surroundings, and the sense of disobedience was very heavy. And at the last moment, his body seemed to show some kind of Hidden danger."

"With your characteristics, since you found out that there was a violation in him, you didn't find the source of the violation?" A chuckle came from the radio, "That means that there is indeed a secret in him, and you still want to recruit him?"

"I never gave him a guarantee," Robin said as a matter of course, "however, whether it is from the perspective of the case, or from a personal point of view, or from his talent, I must guarantee that he will in sight."

"Oh, heartless man, do you just treat others as tools?"

"No, I am very optimistic about him, otherwise I would not spend so much energy observing him," Robin said calmly: "If it was other people involved in the case, I would not give them such a chance, but this Colin Varlin, his performance exceeded my expectations, so I am willing to give him some opportunities, but you know very well that there are some things that even I cannot decide."

When Colin got into the LMW car again, he noticed that Daveline's hands were shaking with excitement.So, feeling ominous, he offered to drive a car.

"Do you know the way?" Davelin asked, without the slightest intention to give way.

Colin sighed and said, "Slow down, I have something to ask you."

Davelyn laughed. She turned the key to start the ignition, stepped on the accelerator, the engine hummed, and the whole body trembled.

But the wheels didn't budge.

She looked down suspiciously.

"Press the clutch and put it in gear." Colin pointed his head over and reminded him in a low voice.

"Mistake," she also responded in a low voice, then restrained her emotions, put the gear on carefully, and started the car, "What do you want to ask?"

Ke Lin said, "About this case, how much do you know about the three deceased?"

"I can't tell you, this is the rule." Devlin wanted to turn her head to speak, but was reminded by Colin to look at the front, "However, it is thanks to you that we are so tired today, and you really guessed it right! This case , It is indeed related to a cult ritual! Perhaps, this will be the first major case I have solved!" Her spirits were very uplifted!

"..."

Didn't you say it all?

Colin suspected that if he continued to talk with Miss Moran, he might be under house arrest by the authorities because he heard too many secrets, so he decisively changed the subject: "Okay, let's talk about another question, I want to Join the special search team, what can you do?"

"Why do you want to join the special search team?" Davelin looked curious, and she almost turned her head again, "Didn't you just have a good job? Are you unhappy in the funeral home? After listening to your analysis today, I think This job is very suitable for you! You must be able to do well!"

"No, it's because..." Colin thought for a while, and decided to tell some of the truth, "I have already been exposed to the extraordinary and the mysterious, and I am very interested, so I want to seek more knowledge."

"Mystery may not be a good thing for us." Devlin's expression was a little serious, and she still wanted to turn her face away, "However, I can understand your thoughts, after all, I came here like this back then, um, but you told me These are useless, I don't have the right to recruit players, and I can't contact the assessment office."

"Then how can I join?" Colin asked, "Do you have any suggestions? Or, if I want to receive formal mysterious teachings, what should I do?"

"This is not easy for you. After all, you are involved in a murder case, and you are also a major suspect. Don't be depressed, you can wait, and a new captain will come in a few days." Speaking of this, Davelin's emotions A little depressed, "The captain is here to replace Captain Jameson and reintegrate our team."

Colin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Speaking of which, why didn't I see many members, including that day, the day the wrist-cutter died. I didn't see too many special search members before and after."

"Because there are not many team members in total, don't you think we have enough manpower?" Devlin finally turned her head around, and she made a helpless expression, "Although the members of a team have their own division of labor, there are often only Four or five people, including a logistics support staff. A little more, maybe six people, extraordinary people are still very scarce. In addition, the captain of our jurisdiction, he... Forget it, don't mention it him."

"Pay attention to the front!" Colin's voice became urgent when he saw the oncoming tram.

"Thank you for reminding me!" Davelin was startled, she quickly turned her head back, turned the steering wheel abruptly, and turned into the alley where they lived.

The road was rough and the people in the car were up and down, but Colin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he resumed his thinking, sorted out his thoughts, and asked again: "Since there are few people, why not merge the teams and increase the number of each team? If there are enough people..."

"Because every team is useful, there are too many things to deal with, and there are so many districts, Clovis is a big country! There are eight districts alone!" Devlin shook her head, "For example , Captain Robin and their original tasks are not the current ones..."

Colin really wanted to stop Davelin, because he knew there were some things he shouldn't know, and it wouldn't do him much good if he knew, but he just couldn't help being curious.

"...they are looking for a handsome city hero!"

"Urban hero? What's that?" Colin thought for a while, "Fake 〇 knight?"

"〇-faced knight? What is that?" Devlin thought for a while, "I'm talking about that vigilante!" She took her hands off the steering wheel and made a flying gesture, "Haven't you read the news? That bandit A man with a mask?"

"Vigilante wearing a mask?" Colin had a weird expression, "Bateman? I'll go, you hurry up and hold the steering wheel! The road here is very narrow!"

"Well, it seems that you really don't know." Davelyn held the steering wheel again, and talked to Colin Cope enthusiastically, "About a year and a half ago, there appeared in Fort Bolsen a righteous man who was secretly fighting crimes. Police! At first, he was just making trouble, until about a month ago, he... In short, he did some big things, let the headquarters recognize him as a transcendent who has not yet waited for registration, and his level is not low, but he sent people one after another to deal with it. He came into contact with him, but he avoided them, so this time Captain Robin led the team to search for his traces."

"That's it." Ke Lin's heart moved, and he asked, "Then why did your team come here? A serial killer?"

"Not exactly, we are for Tebron's experiment..." Davelyn finally became vigilant in the middle of speaking, "Hey, you are the person involved in the case, don't get close to me."

"..."

It was you who offered to carry me.

Colin protested silently.

Davelin said again at this time: "By the way, you performed well today! Let me have a good face in front of my friends, and cook something delicious tonight."

"..."

Colin always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Davelin stepped on the brakes to slow down, then turned the steering wheel, turned towards the small building where they lived, and...

crunch.

"Not good! It's scratched!" Davelin's face turned pale, "The paint on the car is very expensive!"

Amidst the screams of the red-haired girl, Colin took over the steering wheel, and after parking the car, Davelyn squatted on the front of the car, lost her mind.

"This time, I'm afraid it's a month's salary, one month, one..."

Ke Lin wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only say, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Only then did Davelin regain some anger, and she said weakly: "Meat, a lot of meat..."

"Okay, let's eat barbecue." Colin nodded and opened the door.

Whoosh!
On the opposite side, an orange flash rushed towards his face, and then he was embraced by Colin in the air, relieved, hugged, and stroked, all in one go!
Then, Miss Petty, the orange cat, squinted her eyes and "meowed" in Colin's arms.

This scene happened to be seen by Davelin outside the door, and her mood suddenly became even more depressed, and then the red-haired girl gritted her teeth and interrupted the harmonious time of one person and one cat: "Don't patronize the cat, now is not the time to enjoy it! If you have time in two days, you have to go back to your apartment, prepare some materials and materials, and take some photos of your residence."

As Davelin said, she threw a bunch of keys and a Polaroid to Colin.

"The door of your house has been replaced, here is the key."

"Why do you want to take pictures?" Colin hasn't taken time to go back these days. He still remembers that there is a spiritual gun that needs to be dealt with, but Davelyn's sudden words still caught him by surprise, "Is it safe to go back now?"

"Photography and information are all required for the registration of extraordinary people." Davelin raised a finger and emphasized: "You should have no problem going back. We have already identified the identity of the wrist cutter, so you are not in any danger for the time being. Go at ease."

"Reliable! What is his origin?" Colin became interested.

"You can't say it!" Devlin immediately became vigilant: "That person is involved in a lot, but in the central region, you are still safe, just be careful not to be alone, and choose to act during the day."

"It still sounds dangerous." Colin muttered, and then, under the urging of Davelin, he went into the kitchen with the cat in his arms.

The next day, after Colin got up, he ran into Daveline again at breakfast.

"What happened between you and Chloe?" She was full of curiosity. "She called me last night and asked about your business."

"Forehead……"

Only then did Ke Lin realize that yesterday he dug a big hole for himself in order to show his holiness in front of others.

"Forget it, I don't care about this, but if you plan to pursue her, then you have to be careful." Devlin picked up the bread on the table, walked quickly to the door, bent down and lifted her shoes, "The time she spends dealing with the dead every day , much more than living people! Hehe, this is really big news!"

"You're worrying too much. It's not about this at all." Ke Lin rubbed the space between his brows and thought to himself, "I should take another half-day off to deal with the apartment matter first, and avoid the forensic examiner by the way."

With that in mind, he called the funeral home again.

"Do it well! Make a good impression on the police station! Don't worry, the salary will be paid as usual, and you will be considered full-time!"

The old Carl who received the call didn't say much. The old man thought that Colin was working for Sheriff Tebel and the others, and he agreed very readily, and promised not to deduct his salary.

"Sure enough, there are people in the court who are good at handling things. No wonder so many people like to pretend to be powerful."

After hanging up the phone, Colin was in a happy mood. He hummed a little song, boarded the public trolleybus, and returned to the unnamed apartment building where he lived half an hour later.

But when he was about to walk over, his heart moved, and he opened his left eye to search for traces around him.

After a quick scan, a lot of data appeared in front of his eyes. Layer upon layer of analysis, changing according to Colin's thoughts, finally helped him locate a person's footprints.

This person's footprints are all over the surroundings, but they are all in the corner, or on the wall. According to the data analysis of the left eye, the location of this person can clearly observe the entrance of the apartment and the location of his own home!

You must know that the windows of Colin's house are all opened in very hidden places, and the light is not good, but because of this, it is easier to judge the hidden purpose.

"Is this someone watching me? It must not be someone from the special search team. After all, they know that I don't live here anymore. That's a debt collector? According to the analysis of Data Eye, this person comes almost every day, but every time It's not long, and it doesn't look like a professional debt collector, so, is it the force behind the wrist cutter?"

Looking around, he didn't find any suspicious person, but he hesitated about whether to go home.

At this moment, an unexpected person came from a distance.

After seeing Colin, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled in surprise.

"Mr. Varlin, you are finally back!"

Colin followed the sound and saw that the target was a young policeman in police uniform.

"You were the police officer at the scene of the police detective, why did you..."

Suddenly, he was surprised to find that there was a vague silk thread connecting himself with the police officer in front of him!

　That’s all for today. Unfortunately, I still have a low-grade fever. I will try to restore two updates tomorrow.

　　I was a little tired in the morning. After making breakfast for the whole family, I couldn’t bear it anymore and fell asleep again. I got up at noon to make lunch, and after cleaning the whole house again, I finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

　　When I woke up in the afternoon, I already had a low-grade fever. I didn’t have code words today, and I was resting. I only got up and changed the manuscript, so there is only one sheet, so I have some buffer.Trying to recover tomorrow...
