A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 227 171. Henry’s body returned
"Now the relationship between the angel and the butcher can be settled, right? I think in this case, even if it may intensify the conflicts in the capital of Lausanne, we have reasons to arrest her by force."

Reese smiled and said proudly.

"Haha... I think it's better to be cautious..." Levi said a little guilty.

No, don't make any drama about going on a surprise attack tonight!
I just met her!

However, Reese didn't seem to hear it, and nodded after thinking for a while.

"Indeed, what the headquarters hopes is to protect Harrison's safety while waiting for the next decision. It is better to report this matter to the headquarters first..." He raised his head as he spoke.

"The captain has gone on surveillance rotation. I will write a report and send it out on his behalf."

"And you, do something for me. I was originally responsible for it, but unfortunately I'm really not good at it."

"What?" Levi asked confused.

"Return Henry's body to Mr. Brown. Everything we need to know is clear. It's time for him to be buried and returned to heaven."

……

After walking into the underground morgue, a blast of cool air hit my face.

Levi opened the door. The lights in the morgue were dim, and some instrument made a beeping sound every once in a while.

There were two rows of large steel cabinets in the room. At least when he looked at them, Levi imagined that they were full of corpses.

"Mr. Agent?"

At this time, a voice attracted his attention. Levi turned his head and saw a forensic doctor wearing a mask and a white coat waving to him.

"You are responsible for returning Henry's body, right?"

"Yes." Levi nodded and replied.

Usually at this time, family members are asked to come and claim the body, but this time the situation is a bit special. The body will be sent directly to the funeral home by the police.

Mr. Brown's family has also been notified and will be waiting at the funeral home.

"Okay, actually you can take it away a long time ago. The body will stink after waiting for a while... But Mr. Brown always hoped to wait until the real culprit is caught... Sorry for going too far, please follow me." Mr. Forensic Medical Examiner said .

Henry's body had been wrapped in a white body bag. Levi tried to touch it and could feel the rough touch.

It’s hard to imagine that the person inside was once a living person.

Two police officers waiting nearby came over. They lifted Henry's body, left the morgue, and walked up the stairs.

The car to take Henry's body away has been prepared. In fact, there was no need for Levi to follow him, but this matter belongs to the witchcraft world, and BOI is responsible for matters in the witchcraft world.

Levi looked at their upward figures and suddenly remembered BOI's order.

Protect Harrison and continue to watch Eli the Butcher.

If he had followed their instructions, Mr. Brown might never have waited for the day when his son could rest in peace.

……

Inside the Lausanne Metropolitan Funeral Home.

Henry, who was wrapped in a white body bag, was placed on a table, and his family members formed a circle. Levi stood aside silently and saw Mr. Brown, maid Maura, Miss Karina, and Many people he didn't know.

A neatly dressed but haggard-looking lady stood beside Mr. Brown. She should be Henry's mother.

Soon, the white body bag was opened, revealing Henry's pale face. Although the police forensic doctors had tried their best to modify the wounds, they were not professionals after all, and Henry's face already showed the color of a dead person.

Fortunately, the morgue was fully equipped and Henry's body was well preserved and did not stink. As the zipper slowly went down, the sadness seemed to overflow the range of silence, and the sobs were like some kind of late-night requiem. I don't know who started, but slowly began to rise.

Levi glanced at Miss Karina, who was holding the pearl necklace tightly in her hand, which Levi had brought back just now. He had checked that the necklace was made of real pearls.

At this time, the beautiful lady couldn't help but shed tears. Her voice was very low, almost silent, as if she didn't want Henry to hear it.

She slowly stretched out her hand, but the face she touched was as cold as a stone.

Levi closed his eyes and did not look at the reactions of the group of people in front of him. A sudden feeling of guilt came to his heart, so he turned around and left silently, outside the funeral home.

He let out a long sigh.

Due to a confidentiality agreement, Mr. Brown cannot learn anything related to Henry.

Who killed him and what he died for are matters that Mr. Brown will be excluded from.

His child met with misfortune, but he couldn't know anything about it. For a father, this is probably the greatest sorrow.

The wind blew silently, and Levi's clothes were fluttering in the wind. In the sky, the thick clouds changed shapes at will, like a show of light and shadow.

The Tyndall effect fell through the clouds, and the city in front of us seemed to be a scene from "Wanderer on the Crossroads", rendered dreamlike by the light beams.

At this time, Levi noticed the footsteps behind him.

The footsteps were slow and heavy, and Levi almost didn't have to look back to understand who was coming.

"Mr. Brown, what's the matter?"

The man behind Levi paused, and then a voice sounded.

"I just... came out for some air."

Levi turned around and saw that there were no tears in Mr. Brown's eyes, and he couldn't even see the sadness, only the deep exhaustion surrounding them.

"It's so heavy inside that it's unbearable. Dorothy is really so fragile even after becoming a mother." Mr. Brown forced a wry smile.

"Really, then let's go together."

Levi turned his head and continued to look into the distance.

Mr. Brown's smile slowly faded, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

But soon, he looked at Levi again as if he had made some kind of determination.

"Mr. Li, can you tell Henry what's going on?"

Sure enough... Levi thought as expected that it was impossible for him to not care at all.

"What did the police say?"

Levi didn't answer directly and turned around to ask.

"They said the murderer had escaped, and the reason for killing Henry was purely because he was a pervert. As for more details... they didn't mention it at all." Mr. Brown said in a deep voice, even a fool could detect the problem.

"Really, then this is the fact, it is the fact." Levi did not say more.

"Can't you say that... I know that you do have strict regulations." Mr. Brown let go of his hand and suddenly smiled with relief.

"However, the last time you asked me about Mr. Harrison... does this mean that the BOI believes that Harrison is related to this matter?"

"I, I didn't give up after that...yeah, I found something."
