Weird Wizarding World

On the other side, in the inspection office.

The three of Berkeley were still talking.

"...How sure are you that they did this incident?" Berkeley asked Flower, tapping his fingers on the brown-red table unconsciously.

"Only about 30%." Flower shook his head,

"I went to the scene to see it. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it looks a bit like their style...but I didn't feel the familiar disgusting breath."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

This murder happened just after the pollution incident of Catherine at the west city guard, and he subconsciously linked the two together.

But after actually going to the scene to see it, he found that it was a little different from what he thought.

"We'll find out later." Price, who was sitting on the side, said, "If it's really a flesh and blood thorn, then they will definitely take another action in the future."

"What about Regina...?" Flower asked.

"Let them continue the investigation," Berkeley interjected.

"Okay." Flower nodded, and asked again: "Do you want to report it to Wizard Rapp?"

"No need." Berkeley shook his head,

"Nothing has been determined yet. It is not appropriate to bother Mr. Rapp... This may just be an ordinary murder as usual."

He turned his head to look out of the stained glass window, paused, and reminded again:

"But don't take it lightly. The source of the pollution on Catherine's body has been determined by the Rapp wizard to be the Lord of Flesh and Thorns..."

Flower nodded heavily, and the fat on his neck surged in waves.

The three said goodbye.

Berkeley walked out of the inspection office.

The sun is shining outside, the sky is blue,

People came and went in Black Rock City.

Calm, sunny, as always...

But no matter how he looked at it, he always felt that there seemed to be an undercurrent surging behind him.

79 Tulip Street.

At the openwork door carved with roses.

Pigou is saying goodbye to Regina and the others.

"Your Excellency Pigou, if you think of any useful information later, please contact us as soon as possible."

"It will." Pigou replied with a smile,

"Then I'll go back first."

He bid farewell to Regina and the two, turned around and boarded the carriage behind him.

drive!

The carriage drove him away gradually, and finally disappeared at the corner of the street.

Colin and Regina returned to the living room, sat on the apricot woolen sofa, and frowned at the same time.

Pigou's answer did not provide them with any useful information.

But no trace could be detected at the scene, and Regina's black cat could not smell any strange smell.

The homicide investigation has stalled.

"...Why don't you go back to the investigation office and look through the files of murders with supernatural factors recently recorded?"

After pondering for a moment, Colin suggested.

Obviously, this homicide is very likely to be done by cult members, and there is a high probability that it is not a vendetta.

And if it wasn't a vendetta, then from the investigation of interpersonal relationship, it is undoubtedly going in the wrong direction.

In the current situation where there are no other clues except for the iconic ghostly leaving no trace,

Finding out whether there is a homicide related to it is obviously the only breakthrough.

Regina obviously realized this too and nodded.

He got up quickly and went back to the inspection office with Colin.

In this homicide, the deceased was just an insignificant ordinary person, so it stands to reason that there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

But because the incident itself involves extraordinary power, and it is likely to be related to cultists, this is no longer a trivial matter.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the file room of the inspection office. The files here were all moved from the previous guard.

Stored on the huge brown bookshelf in the far corner are all the murders with supernatural factors that occurred on the island in the past sixty years.

In chronological order, the two flipped through each piece from now to the past.

The sunlight by the window climbed from the table legs to the table top, then from the table top to Colin, and finally faded away.

Until the evening, until after reviewing all the murders related to supernatural factors in the past year.

But they still couldn't find a single incident similar to this Tulip murder case, not even a similar one.

Night fell.

In the end, Regina and Colin had to put down the files, and returned home by car one after another.

Regina lived in the opposite place to him, and when his carriage reached the corner of Acorn Street, there was no sign of Regina.

"Go to Tulip Street first." At this moment, Colin suddenly ordered to groom Arthur with a thought.

"Yes, master." Arthur quickly replied, driving the carriage and turning towards Tulip Street.

Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped at No. 79 Tulip Street.

Colin got out of the carriage.

Outside the hollow gate carved with roses, there are still two armored guards standing guard.

"My lord." The two guards greeted respectfully. Although they were a little curious about why Colin came back so late, they didn't ask anything and kept silent. Opened the door for Colin.

But when Colin approached the door, his footsteps stopped. He waved his hand at the guard, then suddenly turned back to the carriage.

"Come on, Arthur," he ordered.

tap tap ~

The carriage moved.

In the carriage, Colin looked calm.

The only reason he came back here was to confirm the inexplicable feeling he had this morning.

When inspecting the scene this morning, although neither the detection of evil nor Regina's cat could find any traces, he always felt something strange...

A very faint strangeness, so weak that he once thought it was just an illusion.

It wasn't until after looking through the files in the afternoon that he settled down to think carefully that he gradually became sure that the strangeness was not an illusion.

It stands to reason that he is just an ordinary middle-level wizard apprentice. Since Regina and her black cat didn't find any abnormalities in detecting evil, he shouldn't be able to find any abnormalities either.

But he did find out...and it wasn't an illusion.

... Needless to say, this must also be one of the benefits of the strengthened soul.

After the golden clover is strengthened, the improvement of his soul does not seem to be as high as that of his body, and he does not have the same talent as his body.

But in terms of actual quantification, his current soul strength is undoubtedly one of the strongest among a small group of people on the entire island except Wizard Rapp.

In addition, the golden clover seems to have a special bonus to perception, and it is normal for him to feel strange things that ordinary intermediate apprentices cannot.

However, the matter of obtaining the golden four-leaf clover still needs to be kept secret, and the strength of his soul after being strengthened obviously cannot be easily revealed.

So after confirming the strange feeling in the afternoon, he didn't say it out.

Instead, I chose to come back at night to take a closer look.

But when he walked to the door, he was suddenly shocked.

There is absolutely no need for me to come here alone now.

At this moment, night had fallen, only the two guards outside the huge house at No. 79 Tulip Street were living people, and the rest were mutilated and terrifying corpses.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

If you want to double check...

It is undoubtedly a better choice to wait until tomorrow daytime, or to come with Regina next time, and then confirm.
