Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 119 On-Site Investigation
The gas lamp on the ceiling of the hall is extremely bright with the help of several sets of lenses, covering the sunlight from the windows on both sides, and covering the whole room in its orange light.However, on the expensive carpet covering the entire room under the chandelier, there are several bloodstains that have been absorbed by the carpet and are almost dried up.

It is not accurate to say that there are bloodstains, the astonishing amount of blood on the carpet has congealed into puddles of jelly, more, irregularly shaped pieces of minced meat spread radially in different places, red muscles and internal organs, The yellow-white skin and fat were mixed together, exuding a bloody smell that was almost visible to the naked eye.

The last time Angel saw so much blood and human tissue was in Enmat Port, in the cellar of the port area.

Subconsciously, she raised her head and looked around the hall, trying to see if she could find the hanging giant statue of the "Aurora Order".

Of course, nothing.

How could there be "Aurora Society" everywhere?After Enmate Harbor was destroyed and Mr. C, "Bishop of Roses" was seriously injured, they should stop most of their activities and act with their tails between their legs. This is in line with the positioning of a cult organization... right?

Thinking of how they dared to build an altar in the port of a big city and sacrifice their flesh and blood to the evil god, Angel became a little uncertain.

"Please tell me about the situation when you found the scene."

Leonard's calm and reassuring voice came from beside him.

But looking at the tight corners of the poet's mouth, it seems that his heart is not as calm as the words express.

"Okay... okay," the policeman who retreated to the door pretended to be calm and took two steps forward, and replied, "The deceased should be the Plaque family, Alan Plaque is the head of the household, an immigrant born in the southern continent, He lives with his wife and teenage son."

The policeman spoke with a trembling voice, his eyes kept turning to the hall behind the door, and then quickly moved away.

According to the policeman, the first discoverer of the murder was a laundry woman hired by Pluck's family. She entered through the side door at noon, but found that the clothes to be washed were not placed in the usual place.Curious, she came to the house and didn't meet anyone, including the servants or the master's family, until she came to the hall...

"Fortunately, this female worker didn't rush into the street and yelled. Instead, she kept her sanity and went to the nearest police station to call the police. Otherwise, it would not be us, but reporters from various newspapers who are here now."

"You're lucky."

Leonard replied indifferently.

He put on his leather gloves, took a deep breath, and walked into the hall.

Angel was about to follow behind him, but found that the policeman beside him looked hesitant and stopped.

"Please go to No. 34 Zuotland Street, 'Black Briar Security Company', and ask Mr. Neil to come over, um... Tell him about the situation here, he knows what to bring."

It seems that even the police who are often involved in murder cases can hardly get used to the situation in front of them. Angel simply sent him to find Old Neil. His divination and psychic abilities should be used here.

In fact, the best candidate is Klein, who has cooperated with Angel many times, but he has already arrived in the town of Ramud, and when he comes back tomorrow, there should not be much useful information from divination here.

The policeman who received the new order, as if he had received an amnesty, hurriedly saluted and left the cloakroom quickly. His hurried steps seemed to be chasing him with a monster behind him.

Seeing that the door was closed from the outside by the police who had left, Angel turned around and walked into the hall.

Leonard had already walked around the periphery of the hall, and returned to the door from the other side. The leather glove on his hand was stained with blood. He had obviously checked the scene. Seeing Angel following in, he nodded slightly. said:
"The corpse is completely destroyed, almost no complete limbs can be seen, look at these," he pointed to the nearest "remain", where several square meters of blood and broken flesh were scattered radially. The flesh and blood are denser, but there is no recognizable limb. "A whole human body exploded from the inside and turned into what it is now. What is the first thing you can think of?"

Promotion out of control, exploding to death?

Angel almost blurted it out, but after thinking about it, he felt that Leonard probably didn't mean it.

"Aurora Society?"

She asked tentatively.

A smile appeared on Leonard's face, which was replaced by seriousness in an instant: "That's right, the Aurora Society's 'Secret Prayer' pathway, didn't you meet a 'Rose Bishop' in Enmat Port? Isn't it a bit familiar?" ?”

You seem more familiar than me...

Angel cursed, and nodded.

"But what is the purpose of their murder? To seek revenge, or simply to seek pleasure? Or to sacrifice to their Creator?"

She looked around the entire hall, and found that there were five radiating flesh and blood in total. It was no wonder that the female workers on the scene and the police who arrived thought that the three members of the Plaque family had died here, and some unlucky servants and housekeepers might even be included. .

She couldn't think of any other possibility to kill the family in such a cruel way other than seeking revenge or being a crazy murderer herself.

"Maybe there are other possibilities, like rituals, like some kind of misdirection."

Leonard added, squatting next to the nearest corpse, frowning and searching for a while, he found a few pieces of clothing, a bunch of copper keys, and a few pieces of tattered note paper.

"I can't find any useful clues. This is just a blank note. It seems that I can only wait for Old Neil to come." Turning over the blood-soaked note paper, Leonard did not find the words on it, so he could only start again. Stand up and turn to face Angel.

"You did a good job. You ordered the policeman to call Old Neil to the scene in advance. It seems that you have learned quickly during this time."

"It always feels like you forgot."

Pointing this out mercilessly, after Leonard showed a slightly embarrassed expression, Angel continued: "Then shall we continue to wait now, or go to another room to search?"

"Let's go to other rooms first, maybe there are other victims, other clues, or..."

Or is the killer still alive?

Although Angel felt that this possibility was very remote, he subconsciously touched the holster on his waist.

The two carefully avoided the remains on the ground. In order to avoid leaving bloody footprints in other places to interfere with subsequent investigations, they also wiped the blood from their shoes on the expensive carpet.

"Hehe... Remember that this is our footprint, so that old Neil won't find our footprints all over the place when he does divination."

Leonard suddenly made a joke, and laughed a few times after he said it.

"Your sense of humor is as good as your own poetry."

Twirling the corners of his mouth, Angel still failed to cooperate with his cold joke against his conscience.
