Chapter 84 The investigation continues.
After detailed inspection, Nicole and Ronald determined that the man was the shop owner who reported the disappearance.
And now his physical condition is extremely weak.
After a fierce and unusual wrestling match between men and women, this guy didn't eat or drink a drop of water for about three days, so he was now so weak that he was on the verge of death.
Nicole opened her eyelids for the last time and looked at the pupils of the man on the ground.
The face of the investigator girl darkened visibly.
"Haha——"
"It turns out to be Jennifer."
"."
Jennifer?
Who is this?
Holding a kerosene lamp next to Nicole, Ronald considered the scene before him.
While checking the shop owner's body, he also watched on the sidelines.
Although it was probably certain what this man had done before, and he was just an innocent victim, it was a bit outrageous to lie there like this for three days.
If you want to harm people's lives, why don't you just do it and be done with it?
And if you don't want to kill people, you won't make people like this.
At this moment, just like I promised when I left the investigation bureau this morning.
Nicole took the initiative to explain to Ronald as a senior investigator:
"Jennifer is a registered charm sorcerer."
"Their school is a loose and unorganized wild sorcerer. Basically, the teacher leads the apprentice. Relying on the relationship between men and women to develop power, we basically can't make any trouble in Greed."
Ronald silently took note of Nicole's explanation, and then asked:
"Are you sure it is this person?"
" Could it be someone else who did it?"
"Basically sure." Nicole nodded, stood up from the ground, but had not yet taken back the revolver, "Burrenwich's statistics on mysterious people are pretty good. Among the nearby charm warlocks, Jennifer is the only one who is not good enough to perform sexual acts on ordinary people." "
But it's not normal to do this to people."
While analyzing the situation, the investigator girl's eyes began to wander around the room. Li looked around:
"Ronald, just put the lamp on the ground."
"I'll search here again. You go outside and have a look."
"No problem."
Ronald nodded and walked over Check outside begins.
In the previous "Recommendations for Beginner Investigators" published by the Bureau of Investigation, methods of checking for traces of spells from different schools were discussed, and this time I was able to put them into practice.
According to a specific frequency, Ronald caused the black mist wrapped around his hand to vibrate slightly to ensure that ordinary people outside the store would not see the abnormalities on his hands. He selected a location and began to inspect the store.
If there are traces left by the caster, then the black mist will give feedback.
————
After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them came together inside and outside.
After some statistics, it was found that the leather store really had no other clues, and the situation seemed clear at a glance.
It's just a simple mysterious incident of someone hurting someone.
Looking at each other, Nicole and Ronald walked out of the store together.
Immediately, the investigator girl shouted loudly on the side of the road:
"Help!"
"The owner of the leather shop is collapsed inside and is dying, please help!"
Her shouts attracted the attention of passers-by around her.
Nicole immediately stopped continuing, grabbed Ronald and walked in the direction they came from.
After all, the investigators are just the secret police of the mysterious side, and that's enough.
Most of the lower-class people in this era retained the habit of helping neighbors to help each other. With this voice, the man who was unconscious on the ground would most likely be sent for treatment.
Nicole had just eliminated the influence of the Charm Warlock on him.
As long as the rescue is timely, it can still be cured.
————
After leaving the leather shop, Nicole’s target was still the locksmith on Ron Avenue.
After telling the other person what happened before, she took Ronald to the next place that needed to be dealt with.
The winter sun in Burrenwich gradually hangs in the distance.
Ronald pressed his hat to adjust the angle as he walked on the road, and then asked:
"Nicole, are we going to find that Jennifer now?"
"No."
Nicole shook her head simply, and then followed Ronald Nader lowered his hat:
"As for us, we need to go to the next place to continue the inspection."
"I just made a report about the leather store. After Pine collects news about gangsters and the like from the streets, This time the case will enter the specific execution process."
Speaking of this, Nicole couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh -"
"I know this may seem a little inefficient."
"But this is Burrenwich. "
Unless we are fully qualified to handle this matter, or find that there is a crisis of world alienation level, we cannot take action without permission. Find out the situation of the matter, and then find out what should be done Clues, that's enough."
"I understand."
Ronald nodded and did not discuss the matter further.
Gradually leaving Ron Avenue, the two walked to a street two blocks away.
This is a residential area in Burrenwich. The environment and security are guaranteed, and it is a middle-class residential area.
Looking at the street with few pedestrians, Nicole spoke to Ronald beside her:
"Ronald, you'd better be careful this time. According to the intelligence we have, the owner of the target house has relatives who have died many years ago. He is a famous scholar on the mysterious side. According to my experience, things here will probably be more troublesome." "
It's more troublesome."
Ronald silently hid the black mist deep in his coat, and then asked:
"Know the other party Is it a school of thought?"
"The report says it is a family school, and its abilities are related to hallucinations."
Nicole explained to Ronald, and the two of them continued to go deeper into the residential area.
Finally, they arrived at the door of the house numbered No. 41.
Standing outside, you can see that this is a typical two-story residential building, almost no different from other homes around it.
Bang, bang, bang -
Walking to the door of the house, Nicole slapped the door with her hand simply:
"Ms. Corona, open the door!"
"I know you're at home!"
The residential area was sparsely populated in the morning, and the voice seemed particularly clear.
Ronald and Nicole didn't wait long before a woman who looked to be in her forties came to the door.
When she saw how the two of them were dressed, her expression changed, and fear and nervousness appeared in her eyes at the same time.
But after thinking for a few seconds, she opened the door honestly:
"Sir, Sir, why do you want to come to my place?"
"I should have reported that there is no one here who has inherited my grandfather's abilities."
Looking at the panicked person The woman, Nicole's tone was cold and calm, and her eyes showed no emotion when looking at the other person:
"Three days ago in the morning, someone heard a strange scream suddenly coming from your house."
"Explain it to me. ."
"I, I am innocent!"
Faced with Nicole's attitude, the middle-aged woman immediately took two steps back, and then prepared to defend loudly:
"I"
"Shut up first!"
Looking at the other party's panic Like this, Nicole instantly took out a revolver and put it on the opponent's waist.
"Do you think this is a suitable place for people like us to talk?"
"Go in first!"
This simple and crude threat is the most effective.
As if resigned to her fate, the woman lowered her head and turned around to walk into the house.
