Chapter 18 Feast at Liszt Manor When
Wei En walked into the Secret Adjustment Department, he felt that the guard at the door looked at him strangely.
what's the situation?
Could it be that my charm is so great that it transcends 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 Department office on the third floor, exhaled, straightened his uniform, and then opened the door.
"Are you guys early... uh?"
There was no one in the huge office.
"Are you here early? It's almost nine o'clock."
Wei En 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 at a new company, you have to face a new environment and get familiar with new colleagues... It is normal to occasionally encounter colleagues who have no sense of time.
With this thought in mind, he walked straight inside, found an empty table and put his things on it.
After sitting down, Wayne 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 I will feel very happy when working here in the future.
In this office of nearly 200 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 and engraved with the gunfire logo of the Secret Adjustment Department, and it is specially painted in dark green.
The chair is a high-backed chair with a soft backrest and seat cushion.
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 right next to the Cathedral of Krims and belongs to the central area of the city-state of Castor.
In addition to these six sets of tables and chairs, there are two sofas placed by the window in the back, with a small table similar to a coffee table in the middle.
It should be a reception or resting place, because he also saw a cabinet in the corner next to it.
There is a complete set of tea sets and coffee grinding tools, several glass bottles, and a photo?
Wayne stood up and walked over, picked up the photo and looked at it.
"Lacy, Rogert, a girl with white hair, a funny young man, and the one in the middle is... let's call him the old man."
This is a group photo of five people, which should have been 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 of them are in a good mood.
Well... except for the white-haired girl - expressionless, or maybe 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 Roget to be quite handsome when he smiles. It's a pity."
It's a pity that he is a mental polluter and 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 science and technology in this world is unexpectedly high, at least in terms of optics, it is at an extremely high level.
certainly.
Or maybe it's not technology, but magic... I 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.
Um?
Wayne walked over and confirmed again before opening the panel and looking for prompts.
[You are scanned by Alais Coulibaly’s mental perception, reward: survival point +1. 】(Chapter 12)
"It turns out that the one who performed a mental scan on me 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. It was in an inconspicuous 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 knew that if only one outlier appeared in an incident, it meant that the party with more people was correct.
The working time is not nine o'clock!
No wonder the guard at the door looked so weird...
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 given by Lacey yesterday and prepared to familiarize himself with the work content of the Investigation Department.
Snapped!
Wei En just opened the first page of the first file, glanced at it, and closed it directly.
"Is it so exciting..."
He once again confirmed the name on the cover of the file - 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.
But 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 photo was so clear that Wayne was shocked when he first saw this scene.
The expressions on those heads are really 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 hint of smile.
Coupled with the surrounding blood and scattered limbs, the whole scene... can only be described as weird!
Finally, in the lower left corner, Wayne noticed a line of black handwriting - November 3, 1577 in the New Calendar, Lister Manor, No. 66 Roland Street, Custer City.
Is this a case that happened last year?
He looked at it twice more and couldn't help but turn to the second page. It was really unbearable to see such a scene.
"Damn it, the paintings of the cases in this world are too scary."
The content on the second page was much more normal, and it recorded in detail the detection process of this beautifully named case.
"More than 113 people were killed at the feast at the Liszt Manor, including 32 members of the Liszt family. Farouk Liszt, an alternate member of the Custer City State, was also killed." "After investigation, it was determined to be a sacrificial ceremony of the Eternal Life Society
. ——Bloody Immortality, the aura of the deep abyss creature—the Skeleton Knight was also found at the scene." "
In the end, Lacey Janeseth Montoya of the Secret Investigation Department led a team to detect the Immortality Society that will cause this murder. Member - Bloody Boras kills!"
Eternal life society?
A creature from the deep abyss, a skeleton knight?
Wei En did not find any relevant information in his predecessor's memory, so he shook his head and 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 in these cases, the investigators were Captain Lacey, and in the end, the perpetrators did not end well.
Do you like to collect the cases you are responsible for? So arrogant.
Wayne put down the file and smacked his mouth, "It's like watching a horror movie..."
