Chapter 36
"Sir, 375 Oak Street is here." The coachman reminded.

"You just wait here." Chaoyang ordered, opened the door and got out of the car.

At this moment, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and Splendid Fort ushered in the long-lost sunny day. The slightly scorching sun penetrated the shade of trees on both sides of the road, printing swaying spots of light on the ground.This is considered a good weather to go out for a stroll, but there are not many people on the street—compared to a week ago, the city at this time seems to be much deserted.

A little further away, there were two cavalrymen in city guard uniforms patrolling the street.

Chaoyang lowered the brim of his hat and walked into No. 375.

This is a small two-story building, and it is also another secret residence of Kurt Dann.Judging from the decoration on the first floor, it looks like a fruit shop that is closed, with empty fruit shelves beside the wall.

Not long after he entered the hall, Judy greeted him.

"You are here. I have been looking forward to it since I received your letter..." Her expression was rather joyful, as if she was happy to see Mr. Detective again, "You said that you need help with something, as long as we can do it Yes, definitely spare no effort!"

"Judy, is it your Excellency?" Dan's voice came from the inner room.

Chaoyang noticed that this time he raised his title a lot.

"It's him!"

"Ask him to come in and talk."

Chaoyang followed Judy to the living room, where the freshly brewed tea was already placed on the low table.Dan sat stiffly at the low table, with thick dark circles around his eyes.Seeing Chaoyang coming in, he immediately stood up, bowed slightly and saluted.

Chaoyang glanced at him quite unexpectedly. In his impression, this reporter dared to investigate the truth of the serial murder case. Even when his life was hanging by a thread, he did not collapse and lose his composure. He was definitely not a coward. Why did he become so respectful now?
"Why, didn't you sleep well?" He took off his hat and sat down across from Dan.

The latter smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm afraid you are the only one who can fall asleep these days. You may not understand what it means to take down the North City Police Station, let alone a grand theater that was reduced to ashes overnight. Now as long as Where people gather, the topic must be this, even the sales of the Jedi Brothers newspaper have increased by [-]%!"

"We thought you would come back after the limelight subsided, but we didn't expect that you didn't care about the city guard's search at all." Zhu Di also echoed, "Honestly speaking, this is the biggest thing I've seen since I came to Brilliant Fort. The visit of the delegation did not cause such a big commotion!"

"So...Couch is really dead?" Dan asked softly.

"Well, I have confirmed this with my own eyes." Chaoyang nodded.In the end, using the real body took a considerable risk, but the rewards were extremely rich.If the harvesting power is not used indiscriminately, it will be enough to keep him alive for half a year, which is a qualitative leap compared to the previous nine days. "Although he is not the culprit, he is the direct mastermind of this case. Only when he is dead, will no one be able to track you down."

Judy's eyes sparkled even more.

"I just said that there must be a reason why Your Excellency Chao didn't suggest that we leave the city overnight."

"Koqi's death is one reason, and the other reason is that I am worried that the culprit may be in the Old Continent, and it may not be safe to escape from Fort Splendor." Chaoyang took a sip from his teacup.Of course he won't say, the main reason is that if these two people leave, he will have to re-establish the relationship network again.

"Thank you." Dan said after a moment of silence, "not only for saving me, but also for the other rescued. I doubted you, but now it seems that I was wrong. If I also have If I wish, I can give it to you together..."

Chaoyang directly interrupted, "Wish power must be established on the premise of signing a contract. Judy has already paid the reward. This matter is over, so there is no need to mention it. You just said that there are other people who were rescued?"

"Yes, the city guards found five more survivors in the dungeon of the manor. I heard that your lord has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter." Dan replied, "On the contrary, the sponsor of the North City Police Department has remained silent. , all interview applications were rejected, and people outside didn't even know that they were the real killers of the serial murders."

When he said this, there was obvious unwillingness in his eyes.

Chaoyang had no choice but to remind, "Since the lord wants to investigate, the truth will come to light one day, and there is no need for you to speak out now."

Otherwise, it would not be worth the loss to be targeted by the forces behind Ke Qi.

Dan gradually let go of his fist, "What you said is true. Let's talk about business. You said you need our help. What is it?"

Judy also held her breath at this moment.

Chaoyang was silent for a moment before speaking, "I need a few bodies."

"Body?" Dan was taken aback for a moment, "Can you explain in more detail..."

"Ah!" It was Judy who yelled bluntly, "Your Excellency, are you referring to dead people?"

"Ahem... It can be understood in this way." Chaoyang said calmly, but he was also quite embarrassed in his heart - because this request seemed too weird, almost like a cultist. "Must be fresh, not spoiled. And given the choice, I want them to be the following sizes."

After speaking, he handed over a sticky note, which recorded a dozen sets of data such as height, measurements, and weight.

After the last round of the game, Chaoyang found that more than half of his wish power expenditure was spent on creating the body, which also greatly limited the number of players entering the paradise.The solution is very simple, that is to use the physical body as the carrier. He only needs to invest a little willpower in the usual maintenance, and replace the severely damaged ones directly.

However, the method is simple, but it is not so easy to realize - in this unfamiliar world, where can he find a complete and fresh body?

So turning to the locals became the only option.

I hope they will not turn their faces because of this because they are life-saving benefactors.

"This..." Dan took the note, showing an extremely tangled expression.

"If there is no other way, let it be. I don't have to let you do it." Chaoyang was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he added in time, "As for using murder in exchange for a body, that is even more undesirable."

He originally thought that the other party would follow the trend and give up, but he didn't expect the reporter to look up at himself after carefully folding the note, "Your Excellency, I want to ask you a question first."

"You said."

"Excuse me... are you acting for a certain god?" Dan's tone was extremely solemn.

Chaoyang was stunned, but then quickly realized - that's it!This is why the other party has always been very cautious!
He regarded himself as the spokesperson of a certain god!
But think about it, is it possible for an ordinary detective to destroy the organizational strength of the Chengbei Police Department overnight, and kill the chief himself?
Even if there is such a person, it is absolutely impossible to be an unknown person.

Unless there is a stronger force behind him to support him.

It is reasonable for the press to think so.

Of course... the detective is not Chaoyang's real body, or any image that talks to people comes from his creation, so in a sense, the truth is quite similar to Dan En's guess, the difference is that he is for himself Just act.

And it doesn't seem to be doing him any harm to let reporters misunderstand him.

Thinking of this, Chaoyang simply responded, "Not bad."
