The top floor of the Continental Hotel in Cedarville was divided into several areas by Ye He.

Except for the practice room that was prepared from the beginning, these rooms are basically relatively large luxury rooms. However, since Ye He came back from Shigwig, two of the rooms were connected together to form a larger room. Large guest rooms.

Ye He has not forgotten his promise to Yekaterina, so in this larger guest room, one of the master bedrooms has been transformed by Ye He into a bathtub of the same style as the one in the First Grand Hotel.

So Ye He prepared this large guest room for Yekaterina.

Even so, the relationship between Yehe and Yekaterina still does not involve the relationship between a man and a woman. It was just for Yekaterina to give up the First Hotel to Yehe as a branch of the Continental Hotel Siegwig. It's just a return of favor.

However, after Yekaterina returned to Cedarville, she went back to live at the Imperial Research Institute. As the director, she was busy with all kinds of business, and occasionally had to deal with matters related to the "relief for work" program. Maybe Ye He Without a special invitation, she wouldn't have time to come and enjoy the bath this year.

So of course, after the bathhouse of Cedarville Continental Hotel was built, Ye He himself became the first user of this bathhouse.

After coming over in the morning to inform Rose about the arrival of the detectives who delivered the machine, Ye He ran to this bathhouse to take a bath.

This feeling of being immersed in hot water is like returning to the mother's placenta. The touch of primitive memories is a pleasure that anyone can enjoy, except because Ye He is an orphan.

Of course, Ye He is not so selfish and enjoys this bath to himself.

From the water in front of him, a head with soaked pink skin suddenly emerged.

Hannah arranged her wet hair, then leaned into Ye He's shoulder, breathing heavily.

Her eyes seemed to be very blurred due to soaking in water for a long time. After she took a deep breath, her eyes regained a trace of clarity, and she told Ye He who closed her eyes and enjoyed it:

"According to my investigation, there are currently almost two thousand monsters in Saidaweil and more than seven hundred demons."

so much?

This unexpected amount made Ye He open his eyes.

However, considering the population base of Cedarville and the fact that at least 20% of these people are extraordinary beings with "official" status, it is not unacceptable.

"Can you "get" them?"

Ye He's question fell into Hannah's ears, causing Hannah to immediately show an expected expression.

"As far as public opinion is concerned... it's absolutely fine. Previous incidents have greatly enhanced the Continental Hotel's voice and authority."

"Very well, public opinion is enough."

A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of Ye He's mouth. This was what he needed. Hannah was truly an out-and-out talent, a born politician. In the future, all the authority of Continental Hotels may need her help. .

Ye He reached out and pinched two slightly melted ice cubes from the ice bucket beside the bath, then put them into Hannah's mouth with a smile.

The cold feeling failed to clear up Hannah's spirit. Her eyes quickly blurred, turning her only girlish emotion into a little complaint. She quietly glared at Ye He, and then obediently sank her head into the bathtub.

This made Ye He's expression quickly become more and more satisfied.

……

The happy time is always short, for the sake of Hannah's chin, and because the carriages of Patron and Catalina have arrived at the door of the Continental Hotel. After Ye He got up and changed his clothes, he just sent away Han who was a little dizzy after drinking. Na, we met Catalina who walked upstairs.

The two hadn't seen each other for almost ten days, but these ten days were enough. Catalina tossed and turned last night, too excited to sleep.

Especially Ye He had just finished taking a shower and was wearing trousers and a white shirt with a few buttons unbuttoned. His hair was still a little wet, and his whole person exuded a lazy and clean temperament. Catalina was even more excited.

"Ye He."

Catalina couldn't help but didn't throw herself into Ye He's arms, but she couldn't help but breathed in the warm breath that was still exuding from Ye He's body after getting close to Ye He.

The arrival of Her Royal Highness the Princess was a bit beyond Ye He's expectation. It would not be surprising when Ekaterina would come back, but Ye He did not expect that Katerina would also come with her.

He is not yet deceived by the appearance shown to him by Katarina's performance. Even if this terrifying and scheming princess is really pursuing him, in the process of this "pursuit", every step of her behavior, They must all have multiple benefits.

From the bottom of his heart, Ye He likes this kind of partner who gets more for one job, but at the same time, he doesn't like this kind of overly smart woman from the bottom of his heart.

But on the surface, he still welcomed Catalina: "Welcome back to Cedarville, sit inside."

"Ah."

After letting Catalina enter the large guest room, Ye He hurriedly followed.

He had already seen Karl, who was a step behind Katerina, walking up. Taking advantage of the few seconds when Katerina's back was turned to him, Ye He quickly cast an inquiring look at Karl, and directly gestured to him with his mouth. road:

"reason?"

Karl immediately understood what Ye He meant. Although he was Catalina's cousin and personal guard, he and Ye He also had a solid "ally" relationship.

He immediately opened the box in his hand. The lock on the box had already been opened by him when he went upstairs. Obviously, he also expected that Ye He would come to him to "ventilate".

Catalina walked into the guest room and was already ready to sit down on the chair in the living room, leaving only the last second for Ye He.

When Karl completely opened the box, Ye He had already met Catalina's gaze and walked into the guest room without any flaws.

Karl sighed inwardly, as if the "ventilation" failed.

But in fact, no, Caesar had recorded all the contents of Carl's suitcase for Ye He and sent it to Ye He.

Ye He sat on the main seat in the living room, smiling and listening to Catalina's greetings, but his attention was completely focused on the things Caesar recorded.

Karl came in and stood behind Catalina. Inside the small box in his hand, which he had relocked, was a pile of special documents and a very peculiar stone.

Each piece of paper in these documents was sealed in a special sealed bag with the Holy Emblem of the Moon's Glory. The stone was wrapped in a transparent liquid. Together with these liquids, they were contained in a closed, fully transparent In a cube container.

A product of relics? Or a new commission?

In short, Ye He's interest was piqued, and his eyes looking at Catalina became much gentler.

He welcomes anyone who finds something to do for him.

Because Karl was present and there was "business" in Karl's hands, Catalina did not express her feelings of missing Ye He too deliberately. After a few pleasantries, she waved her hand and signaled Karl to put the box away. Put it on the table, open it, and get to the point.

Before Karl took action, Ye He suddenly raised his hand to stop Karl.

Rose's figure just appeared at the door. She knocked gently on the open door, bowed to Ye He and others and apologized for the interruption, and then gave Ye He a look.

"It's okay, Catalina is my friend, she is not the princess today."

Ye He explained to Rose so that Rose didn't have to be so formal.

Catalina's face immediately showed an expression of surprise. Ye He was actually willing to call her a friend? Does this mean that his relationship with Ye He has a further foundation?

"Are Patron and the others here? Let's bring them in, just in time to let Catalina see our products."

Ye He did not look at Catalina's face and continued to explain to Rose.

Rose immediately understood what Ye He meant, nodded and returned to the corridor outside the door.

After a while, the two detectives, who only brought the big suitcase, followed Rose in.

Patron spent all his energy on managing his expressions, but Magda's expressions had begun to get out of control.

Catalina really came to find Ye He. Now, she finally realized that the princess was not just here to "find" Ye He.

No matter who is pursuing whom, no matter how far they have gone, the current result is somewhat unacceptable to Magda.

She had nothing that could compare to Catalina, no, she clearly understood that she was not even qualified to compare with Catalina.

【calm……】

【calm. 】

【calm! 】

Some strange sounds that only Magda could hear sounded in the heart of Magda, who almost lost control of her emotions and ran away.

【You helped me...】

【You are a kind girl. 】

[She's just a princess, are you just backing down? 】

These voices come from some wronged souls that Magda once helped. They only have a little bit of consciousness left and can only exist in the form of monster power as an accessory to Magda's class abilities. Just a product.

Now, they are using their own way to save this lost but kind-hearted little girl and help Magda regain her confidence.

The negative emotions in Magda's body, those emotions of fear, loss, and depression, began to be quickly taken away by the power of these monsters. Coupled with the words of encouragement from these people, Magda quickly adjusted her emotions. regained his footing.

It was a very stupid act for her to directly express hostility to the Royal Highness the Princess without going to see Catalina directly. After all, the relationship between her and Ye He was only between superiors and subordinates. Even if Catalina was not the Princess, she might The forerunner, Magda is the latecomer.

But Magda had figured it out.

She is not a third party!

Therefore, if Ye He doesn't get married for a day, she will always have a chance.

Relax... relax... Difficulties are certain, and they can definitely be overcome and solved!

Magda's vision became clear again. Under Rose's instructions, she and Patron saluted Ye He and Catalina. Then she helped Patron remove the puzzle detector from the large suitcase. Take it out.

On the contrary, Pein was frightened and confused by Magda who suddenly became calm, but now was not the time for him to think about Magda.

"this is?"

Catalina looked at the machine placed in front of her with interest.

She knew that Magda and Pein were Ye He's men, and she also knew that Pein was making some kind of instrument for Ye He, and this one was the finished product.

But she didn't know what the use of this machine was, but through Ye He's deliberate behavior of letting the two detectives show it in front of her, Catalina had realized that this machine should be something Ye He wanted to sell to her, or in other words, to sell it to her. Some kind of "product" for the Empire.

"This is the Puzzle Detector, I decided on the name."

Ye He introduced it to Katrina with a smile. Just as Katrina thought, the puzzle detector was the product he wanted to launch.

If this machine is practical, no force would mind owning it. After all, the products of the Mysterious Realm are good things that everyone is interested in and needs, including Ye He himself.

So far, Ye He has only entered the puzzle once and collected two or three "emotional seeds".

Considering the probability that ordinary people will rarely encounter a puzzle once in their lifetime, if there is no puzzle detector, it is not known how long it will take for Ye He to collect all the emotional seeds of seven emotions and six desires.

"Perplexity... Detector?"

Catalina realized the importance of this instrument almost as soon as Ye He said the name.

The reason why the puzzle is called the puzzle is because the generation of this kind of space gate has no rules at all, and its entire existence is a mystery.

If this puzzle detector can really detect the location where the puzzle is generated, the value of this machine will be immeasurable.

Since this instrument was made by Patron, an ordinary person, Catalina had already seen the possibility of mass-producing this instrument.

If... the empire officially had enough of this kind of instrument, wouldn't it be possible to firmly grasp all the puzzles generated within the empire's territory?

Even if not all puzzles can safely produce puzzle products, this quantitative change will sooner or later lead to qualitative changes... Is the era of the empire really coming? !

Catalina's eyes widened, and even Karl, who was standing behind her, followed Catalina and stared at the instrument in front of Pain, his eyes as hot as if they were carved from a mold.

"What's the actual effect?"

Ye He asked about Patron, and he no longer needed to explain more to Catalina.

"It's pretty ideal. I've increased the coverage area to ten kilometers in diameter, and I've pinpointed the exact location of the puzzle to within two meters. I just need to put the map in..."

Like a parent introducing his outstanding child, Pein excitedly introduced it to Ye He, but before he could finish speaking, with him as the center, the entire time and space of Cedarville suddenly froze.

Just like the time and space freeze caused when Mad took out the ticket for the Void Train and summoned the Void Train, everything in the whole world suddenly stopped moving.

A pair of green eyes opened out of thin air in the living room where Ye He and others were, and looked at everyone in the living room.

It was Jenkins Williamt, the founder of the Williamt family.

The black mist appeared out of thin air, formed Jenkins' body, and allowed him to use this body to stand in the living room.

After briefly looking at Catalina who showed excitement in her eyes, Jenkins shook his head helplessly for the ignorance of his descendant.

"The confusion... is only temporarily harmless to this world. This era has just begun. Don't be so eager to end it..."

Jenkins muttered to himself, then glanced at Ye He again:

"It doesn't matter if it's just you entering the trance."

Ye He is the person of the Buddha, and the Buddha will naturally look at him. However, allowing people in this world to over-exploit the Puzzle will only cause the end of the era to accelerate, a consequence that no one can bear.

Jenkins happens to be the person responsible for "this aspect" now, so he must take away the puzzle detector and erase the memory of this instrument in Pain's mind, and... this young man can create an instrument like the puzzle detector. The... [Power of Creation]!

So Jenkins reaches out to Patrón, who is frozen in time and space.

But Ye He happened to be present, and when Jenkins erased this memory from Patron's memory, he was somewhat helpless to discover that Patron was actually a puzzle detector commissioned by Ye He.

Jenkins cannot ignore this period of cause and effect.

He was silent for a moment, looked back at Ye He, and suddenly chuckled.

The relevant memories in Pain's mind were still erased by Jenkins. His [Power of Creation], a drop of unknown golden liquid, was also casually pulled out by Jenkins, crushed and dissipated in the air.

But Jenkins did not take away the Mystery Detector on the ground. Instead, he stretched out his hand and let a little black mist wrap up the instrument.

The black fog that completely obscured the Mystery Detector quickly gathered towards the center, as if they had swallowed up the Mystery Detector. However, when the black fog was concentrated to the extreme and returned to Jenkins's hand, Jenkins' hand But there is a very strange card.

He lowered his head and checked the card. The front of the card was printed with a photo of the appearance of the Maze Detector, and the back was dark.

After Jenkins used his green eyes to emit a green light, shining on the dark back of the card, causing it to slowly emerge like a swirling vortex of green flames, Jenkins smiled slightly and flicked the card towards Ye He.

The card seemed to have no concrete entity. When it came into contact with Ye He's forehead, it entered Ye He's mind without any hindrance.

"It's done!"

Jenkins clapped his hands with satisfaction. His body and eyes began to turn translucent. Within a few seconds, his figure completely faded and disappeared into the air.

The effect of freezing time and space suddenly disappeared without knowing when, and all time and space in this world returned to normal.

"...Put it in...Put it in...Eh?"

Pain, who was still smiling, suddenly stopped laughing.

There was nothing in front of him, and there was only a large empty suitcase beside him.

There was also some change of clothes of his own in the suitcase. Looking at the wrinkles in those clothes, Patron knew that something had been put in this suitcase.

But what exactly is being let go?

Pain suddenly discovered to his horror that he had forgotten all the memories related to the Puzzle Detector!

He could still clearly remember what he had made at Ye He's request. He had made it and sent it to Ye He today. He was introducing the thing he had made to Ye He and Catalina.

But now he has forgotten the name of this thing, and it has disappeared into the air.

"Huh? Where's the Puzzle Detector?"

Magda on the side also noticed that the confusion detector was missing, not to mention Ye He, Katarina and others who had been staring at the confusion detector. They didn't even have time to be dazzled. In just an instant, this huge instrument disappeared under their noses.

Catalina's expression changed, and Karl became even more sullen, looking around.

Ye He also immediately called up Caesar's surveillance, but the confusion detector included in Caesar's surveillance records also disappeared in an instant.

This feeling... Ye He suddenly discovered that this feeling of things suddenly disappearing like a disconnect was exactly the same as when Mader left on the void train!

Someone stole the Puzzle Detector? !

The same thought appeared in everyone's mind.

[Keywords received: Puzzle Detector! 】

The personal panel suddenly popped up in front of Ye He's eyes, and the following text appeared:

[Activating additional function card: [Puzzle Detector], please wait...]

【Loading completed! 】

[You have obtained the extra function from the extra function card: [Mystery Detector]: Mystery Detection! 】

【You have received a message:】

"I'm Jenkins.

Ye He, you can only use this thing for yourself. I'm sorry for cutting off your way of making money.

If compensation is needed... I, the great-grandfather, made the decision to marry Catalina to you.

You are welcome. "

Message by: [Jenkins R. Willamt]

Tsk, what a beautiful thought!

After reading the message, Ye He helplessly glanced at the additional puzzle detection function in his personal panel.

What could he say? Jenkins can even add "functions" and "messages" to his personal panel. The power of this first-generation Williamite is unprecedented. It seems that this way of making money is really going to be cut off.

Katerina didn't know that Ye He was checking her great-grandfather's message in her personal panel. If she could see it, she would definitely find an opportunity to go back to the royal tomb that Sigwig had just repaired and pay more tribute to her great-great-grandfather. Worship several times.

She looked at Pain and others who looked confused, and then looked up at Karl.

Karl shook his head at Catalina with an ugly expression, indicating that he had not noticed any trace of the thief around him.

"It doesn't matter. If it's stolen, just steal it. Mr. Patron, please build another puzzle detector."

Patron, who was called out by Catalina, finally came to his senses.

But he still looked at Catalina blankly, and asked awkwardly: "Excuse me, Your Highness, you are talking about...the confusion detector? What is this?"

Everyone, except Ye He, looked at Pei En with drastically changed expressions.

……

Ten minutes later, after confirming that there was no longer any information about the Puzzle Detector in Pain's memory, and that he could not figure out the principle or inspiration for making the Puzzle Detector, Ye He asked Rose to take him and Magda down to rest. .

Regarding the personal panel, Ye He did not tell the truth to Catalina, who looked solemn, but he still gave Jenkins the reason:

"It seems that the gods don't want to see the rise of mankind yet."

This sentence successfully brought Catalina's attention back, and Karl's face became particularly ugly. He finally stopped the urge to ask Ye He if he knew something.

"Maybe so."

Catalina's nerves were much stronger than Karl's, and she quickly pushed this information that could not be discussed in detail into the depths of her mind.

After a moment of silence for a second or two, she adjusted herself, waved to Karl again, motioned for Karl to open the small box, and continued to talk about the business she had brought to Ye He.

The topic of the puzzle detector was just dismissed by Catalina. Since this kind of thing is not allowed to appear by those great beings, maybe it was a mistake for Ye He to let Pain make it in the first place?

Of course, Catalina's cognition was only deliberately influenced by Ye He. Ye He knew that it was Catalina's great-grandfather who didn't want the Puzzle Detector to appear, and it had nothing to do with the gods.

The gods are still busy with the "trouble" caused by the approaching god's birthday. Ye He has been asking around for the past two days, but he has not found out what the "trouble" is.

It seems that Ye He can only reveal this "trouble" until the God's birthday in a month's time, and he can't have the fun of watching it in advance.

Karl unlocked the lock on the small box again and displayed the documents in the box and the stone contained in the cubic container in front of Ye He and Catalina.

"I wonder if you have heard of the [God's Punishment] incident that happened in the Aishan Islands fifty years ago?"

Catalina picked up the sealed documents and signaled to Ye He:

"Three days ago, some fishermen who went out to sea discovered that in the former "Aishan Islands" and now the "Aishan Hollow", the darkness hovering there showed signs of dissipating.

Some fragments that should have come from the Aishan Islands were washed out by the ocean currents. This stone still contains some kind of special power that is quickly dissipating. The [Sound of Tide] church that first discovered this stone discovered it. It was sealed and finally transferred to Siegwig.

According to the investigation of the Moon Glory Church, the Eshan Islands are turning into ruins and may reappear in the near future. "

"Oh?" Ye He looked at the ordinary stone with interest. He turned on his moonlight vision and saw a special energy dissipating from the inside of the stone.

Ye He first heard about the information about the Aishan Islands from Yulia.

It was the first night conversation between Ye He and Yulia, and Yulia used this incident to illustrate to Ye He how terrifying the existence of "foreign gods" was.

Then there was Krent, who was being beaten in the practice room next door. This kid claimed to have entered a special mysterious city. The people there called the place Yharnam, and Yharnam was a well-known city on the Eshan Islands.

"You mean, you want to hire me to go around this place?"

Ye He did not share the information about Krent with Catalina. Katerina most likely did not know that anyone from Ye He’s side had been to Yanan. If Ye He brought Krent with him, maybe this kid would Maybe it will play some extraordinary role.

"Yes, the location of the Aishan Islands is very good. The Empire can occupy this ruins alone without being affected by the Federation. I think you won't want to miss this adventure."

Catalina smiled, knowing that Ye He would be interested.

The things in the ruins may bring considerable benefits to the empire, but the dangers of the ruins cannot be compared to other puzzles.

Therefore, although the ruins are fixed there and will not appear and disappear like a mysterious place, it is too dangerous to excavate the ruins. Every exploration of the ruins in the history of the empire has to pay a very high price first.

But Catalina knew that Yekaterina had already decided to take this trip, and now coupled with Ye He, if these two people could not break through this ruins, there would be no need for the empire to spend more resources on it.

"Well, I am indeed interested, but what about the reward?"

Ye He's reply was a little unkind, but that's normal.

If it was Ye He who discovered that this ruin was about to appear and approached Catalina to ask to join, it wouldn't be convenient for him to ask for a reward, but now it was Ye He who was approached by Catalina to invite her.

It seemed that Ye He would ask about remuneration, so Catalina's smile did not change. She put down the documents she had summarized, stood up, winked at Ye He "condescendingly", and said:

"My reward will satisfy you. See you in Gaffaria on the 30th."

After speaking, Catalina walked out of the room and prepared to leave.

The purpose of her trip had been achieved, and there were still many things she needed to prepare for, so she did not stay here willfully to harass Ye He.

Karl quickly packed up the documents, locked the box again, and held it in his hand.

After giving Ye He a "take care" wishing look, Karl also turned and left, leaving Ye He with subtle eyes alone in the room.

Ye He couldn't help but take another look at the message sent to him by Jenkins. What Catalina just said was a reward that would satisfy Ye He...

Is Her Royal Highness the Princess not going to sacrifice herself on the sea?

Who is paying whom?

Intuition told Ye He that Catalina was not such a superficial woman and would not use such a superficial "reward" to offend Ye He.

...Let’s see it then.

There are still several days until the 30th, and there is a direct train from Cedarville to Gaffaria. Yehe still has many days to prepare.

It just so happened that Floy was also tutoring Tiffany in Jafaria to build the Continental Hotel there. When the time came, Ye He would definitely bring her and Tiffany with him.

As for Krent, I have to take him with me, but don't worry, let him continue to be beaten first... practice swordplay, and then call him when it's time to set off.

"Now……"

Ye He stood up and came to the window, watching Catalina getting into the carriage below and being driven away by Karl who was driving the carriage.

The personal panel appeared in front of Ye He again, and the "confusion detector" fixed in the personal panel was activated by Ye He.

If you have nothing to do, let's try the actual effect of this thing first.

[You have activated the puzzle detection function. Do you want to spend one hundred survival days to activate the puzzle detection? 】

A prompt appeared in the personal panel, and Ye He casually passed a confirmation message over.

If you don't collect enough emotional seeds, it will be useless even if you save enough days to survive. Now that Saidaweir has restored the normal generation of monsters, Ye He has no shortage of days to survive at all.

By just going out for a walk at night, Ye He can collect hundreds of days of survival. This is already very efficient, but Ye He is already a little tired of this kind of harvesting behavior.

"Buzz!"

A special lavender ripple that only Ye He could see quickly spread out in all directions from Ye He's body.

This ripple was roughly in the shape of a circle with Yehe as the center. Within a few seconds, it traveled for several kilometers, covering almost the entire Cedarville, and then returned to Yehe at a faster speed. in the body.

[The puzzle detection is over, and no puzzle was found within the current detection range. 】

The expression on Ye He's face remained unchanged. If it wasn't there, it wouldn't be there. He was just trying this function, and he didn't expect to find the puzzle right away.

……

"what?"

Feier, who had just jumped off the carriage, seemed to see something purple flashing in the sky.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Bruce, who had been ignored by Mayfair, quickly asked Mayfair politely. He raised his head and looked around, but of course he found nothing.

"Well, maybe I saw it wrong. Let's go."

That bit of purple disappeared so quickly that Fei'er wasn't even sure whether it was purple or not.

In addition, it was something in the sky. Even if Fei'er was sure that it was happening, she couldn't fly up to the sky to check it, so she quickly diverted her attention and started walking towards the farm in front of her.

Bruce, who followed Mayfair, was overjoyed because Mayfair was willing to talk to him.

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket that he had randomly stuffed into it before. This was a brief summary of the case that occurred at the Machuli Farm that James had given him when he left Klein Field.

While continuing to approach the Machuli Farm, Bruce read the information in the briefing to Faile:

"Well, someone reported the case to the patrol at nine o'clock in the morning on the 23rd. Someone dug up a body in the field on the farm, and then the patrol reported the case to the church and Klein Field around eleven o'clock.

People from the church came and left, it should be a normal murder case..."

"Nonsense, otherwise would James let us two ordinary people come over? Just get to the point."

Faile looked back angrily and glared at Bruce. They came here to take over the case and continue to investigate the case. They had already gone through many investigation steps. Otherwise, how could there be this investigation brief?

Bruce was indeed a little stupid in reading the briefing from the beginning. He smiled flatteringly at Faile, and then began to read the key points in the briefing, which were about the identity of the body, the cause of death, and the owner of Machuli Farm. Inquiries and other information:

“The deceased was a woman, and her body was buried in the ground without protection and had begun to rot.

The face of the deceased was destroyed with a sharp weapon, making it impossible to visually confirm the identity of the deceased. Moreover, there were no clothes or jewelry on the deceased, making it impossible to identify the deceased's occupation.

The owner of Machuli Farm stated that he did not know the identity of the deceased, the existence of the body, or any other information.

That's about it. "

"Tsk, so this is not necessarily the scene of the first crime? Got it."

At this time, Bruce and Mayfair have stepped into the Machuli Farm. Similar to other farms around Cedarville, the Machuli Farm is also a large farm with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

The pastoral scenery is beautiful, but today the doors of the Machulli family are closed and the curtains are drawn, which seems to indicate that this family is unwilling to participate in the investigation of the case.

This is normal. Regardless of whether the Mercury family has anything to do with the corpse, they will not be happy for human corpses to appear on their farm. They will only hope that someone from Klein Field will take away the corpse quickly.

A tent was set up in a distant field, where the body was probably found.

Now is the period when autumn plowing is coming to an end. There are traces of plowing on the field land. These traces are just interrupted at the location of the tent, which also corresponds to the record of the reporter digging out the body from the soil.

"You are?"

When Bruce and Mayfair approached the tent, a forensic doctor wearing a beak mask, a black cloak and a white coat just came out of the tent and looked at the strange young man and woman curiously.

Bruce took out his police badge, gestured to the forensic doctor with the crumpled case brief in his hand, and introduced himself:

"Hello, I'm Brian, the police detective in charge of this case. This is our consultant at Klein Field, Miss Faile."

"Consultant?" The forensic doctor glanced at Fei'er in surprise. He reached out and took off the beak mask on his face, exposing his pale skin to the sun.

"Are you...Mr. Hannibal?"

Unexpectedly, Fei'er actually knew this forensic doctor and called him out by name.

In Hannibal's increasingly surprised eyes, Mayfair smiled at Hannibal and said, "Hello, Mr. Hannibal, I watched your speech at the Federal Medical College, and your research on the decay progress of corpses has always impressed me deeply. .”

"Oh! If you mean the speech I was expelled from the Federation for...but you..."

Hannibal's expression became more and more weird. Although he didn't remember whether he had seen Faile, this little girl's age...

Even he, a man who dared to be around corpses, couldn't believe that an underage girl like Feier would be so interested in his speech about rotting corpses, and even wrote down his appearance and name.

Bruce, who was standing next to Mayfair, didn't show any special expression. Mayfair was too smart. Bruce was not surprised by what she knew, what she was interested in, and what kind of strange knowledge she had.

"Haha, Mr. Hannibal, you are a true scholar and a true researcher. Those maggots at the Federal Medical College cannot recognize your value because their heads are filled with excrement.

In fact, your speeches and papers have helped me solve at least ten problems and brought several criminals to justice! "

Faile's sharp speech made Hannibal's eyes light up. He never expected that the first person who realized his academic value and could promote his knowledge by applying it would actually be such a person. A little girl.

"You are Miss Mayfair, right?"

Hannibal's eyes softened. He had an excellent sense of Mayfair. From now on, this Miss Mayfair will be his Hannibal's friend!

"Just call me Faile," Faile said with a smile. She really appreciated Hannibal's knowledge. To Faile, Hannibal was not only a rare academic pioneer, but also a great scholar in the corpse field. A leader in investigations.

Wisdom can only allow Mayfair to discover abnormalities on the corpses of the dead, but Hannibal is the one who can explain these abnormalities to Mayfair through rigorous scientific analysis.

Mayfair's discovery can be achieved by others who are more careful, but Hannibal's scientific research analysis and final objective explanation will be of clear and long-term help to the entire world of criminal investigation. Hannibal He is the pioneer who should be remembered by the world.
