Wizard: Gou adds a little bit of hunting in the era of steam

Chapter 18 The Feast at Lister Manor
Wei En walked into the secret investigation department, only to feel that the guards at the door looked at him strangely.

what's the situation?
Could it be that his charm is so great that it crosses gender?
Wayne shook his head and quickly dispelled this thought, it was too terrible.

Then he came to the door of the logistics and investigation office on the third floor, exhaled, straightened his uniform, and then opened the door.

"You guys are early...er?"

I saw that there was no one in the huge office.

"Are you here early? It's almost nine o'clock."

Wayne looked at the clock on the wall and scratched his head.

But he didn't care too much, he had changed jobs several times in his previous life.

After arriving in a new company, you have to face a new environment and reacquaint yourself with new colleagues... Occasionally, it is normal to meet some colleagues who have no sense of time.

Thinking of this, he went straight inside and found an empty table to put his things on.

After sitting down, Wei En looked at the office carefully.

I have to admit that the layout of this office is very comfortable, neat and tidy, and the air is fragrant. I believe that working here in the future will make me feel very happy.

In this office of nearly [-] square meters, there are six desks at the entrance.The tabletop is large and made of nanmu, which looks very simple and heavy.

The middle position is hollowed out with the gun fire logo of the secret tune department, and it is also specially painted in dark green.

The chair was one of those high-backed chairs with a soft back and cushions.

The back of the chair is engraved with the same pattern, and it seems to be the iconic building of the city-state of Custer - the city-state council hall.

I have been there several times before, it is next to the Krims Cathedral, which belongs to the central area of ​​the Custer city-state.

In addition to these six sets of tables and chairs, there are two sofas at the back by the window, and a small table similar to a coffee table in the middle.

It should be a place for reception or rest, because he also saw a cabinet in the corner next to it.

On it lay a complete tea and coffee-grinding set, several carafes, and a photograph?
Wayne stood up and walked over, picked up the photo and looked at it.

"Lacey, Roger, and a white-haired girl, a funny young man, and the one in the middle... let's call him the old man."

This is a group photo of five people, probably taken a few years ago.Among them, Lacey and Roget were several years younger than they are now.

From the smiles on their faces, it can be seen that several people are in a good mood.

Hmm...except for the white-haired girl—with a blank face, or facial paralysis?
Wayne had a strange feeling when he looked at her.

It feels like this girl hates the whole world, her eyes are too empty.

"I didn't expect Rogeret to be quite handsome when he smiled. It's a pity."

It's a pity that he is a mental polluter, and he is about to lose control.

But what made Wei En even more unexpected was that this photo was not in black and white, but in color.

This shows that the level of technology in this world is unexpectedly high, at least in terms of optics, it has an extremely high level.

of course.

Or maybe it's not using technology, but magic...you can confirm it later.

In addition, there are several oil paintings hanging on the walls of the office.

The most conspicuous and largest painting shows an old man wearing a monocle, and there is a signature below - Ales Coulibaly, the 13th Director of the Secret Service.

Ok?
Wei En walked over to confirm it again, and then opened the panel to search for the prompt.

[You are scanned by Alais Coulibaly’s mental perception, reward: survival point +1. 】(Chapter 12)
"It turns out that the one who gave me a mental scan that day was the director."

He remembered that on the way to the property management department with Lacey yesterday, he had indeed seen the office building where the director was located, which was in an unremarkable small building next to the detention area.

The director who likes to spy on his subordinates, tsk!
Wayne returned to his desk and sat down, looking at the clock again.

"It's already nine o'clock, isn't it?"

He knows that if there is only one outlier in a matter, it means that the party with the most people is correct.

The working hours are not nine o'clock!

No wonder the guard at the door has such weird eyes...

After coming to this conclusion, Wei En was a little depressed.

If I had known this, I would have studied those parchments again...

Forget it.

Since he came early, let's regard this as the first lesson taught to him by the Secret Adjustment Department.

Then he opened the file bag that Lacey gave yesterday, preparing to familiarize himself with the work content of the first investigation.

Snapped!
Wei En just opened the first page of the first file, glanced at it, and closed it directly.

"Is it so exciting..."

He reconfirmed the name on the cover of the file—a feast at the Lister Family Manor.

That's right, this name looks very ordinary.

Unlike several other files, the Living Sacrifice of the Eternal Sleeper, the Assassination of the Bishop of the Church of Storms, Lilith's Doll... it seems to be a rather scary case at first glance.

But why, why is that photo on the first page?
Does this have anything to do with the feast?
Wayne wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Thinking that he would often deal with these cases in the future, he gritted his teeth and opened the file again.

"Fuck, it's still scary!"

On the first page of the file, there was a photo of a gorgeous banquet hall.

Of course, the point isn’t the location where this photo was taken.

It's the "people" in the banquet hall.

In the large and luxurious banquet hall, there were broken limbs and arms everywhere, and blood stained the carpet, the walls and even the huge chandelier.

Under the chandelier, there is a "pyramid" made of human heads.

The photos were so clear that Wayne was taken aback when he first saw the scene.

It's just that the expressions on those heads are too weird.

Among these heads were men and women, old and children, and it was certain that they were all participants in this feast.

The expression on everyone's face is the same, not ferocious, but the corners of the mouth elongated, a stiff and "bright" smile.

At the same time, their eyes were pale and empty, without the slightest smile.

Coupled with the surrounding blood and scattered limbs, the whole picture... can only be described as weird!
Finally, in the lower left corner, Wayne noticed a line of black handwriting - November 1577, 11 in the new calendar, Lister Manor, No. 03 Bangluolan Street, Custer City.

This case happened last year?
He glanced again, and couldn't help turning to the second page. It was really unbearable to bear such a scene.

"His mother's, the case of this world, the painting style is too scary."

The content on the second page is much more normal, and it records in detail the investigation process of this well-named case.

"The feast at the Liszt manor killed more than 113 people, including 32 members of the Liszt family, and Farouk Liszt, an alternate member of the Custer city-state, was also killed."

"After investigation, it was determined to be the sacrifice ceremony of the Eternal Life Society - Bloody Eternal Life. The aura of the deep abyss creature - the Skeleton Knight was also found at the scene."

"In the end, Lacey Janice Montoya led the team to investigate the crime, and killed the member of the Eternal Society who caused the bloody crime—Blood Bloody Borras!"

Eternal Life?
A creature from the deep abyss, a skeleton knight?

Wei En didn't find any relevant information in the memory of his predecessor, so he shook his head and then looked at several other files.

Needless to say, just like the Lister Manor case, the scenes at the scene are quite impactful.

Either weird, or bloody... none of it is normal.

However, the same thing is that the investigators of these cases are Captain Lacey, and in the end, the perpetrators did not end well.

Like to collect the cases you are responsible for?Tsundere.

Wei En put down the file and smacked his mouth, "It's like watching a horror movie..."
