Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 109: The Desolate's Request (2/7)

Early on Tuesday morning, because the news of a lone hero bravely rushing into the tiger's den to save people was gradually outdated and replaced by some new shocking news, Abner finally was no longer besieged by the tabloid reporters and left the office quite comfortably.

After arriving at the police station in the bridge area, many policemen took the initiative to say hello when they saw him. This made Abner a little flattered and truly felt like being a celebrity.

However, after he checked the latest case file of the police station, there was no relaxed expression on his face. Because from last Friday to today, in just two or three days, there have been 16 deaths caused by sudden dementia or sudden stroke madness in the bridge area.

"Moreover, all the parties involved in the incident are believers of the Lord of the Storm...Is anyone provoking the'punisher'?"

While Abner was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside the archives, and then sheriff Eli of the Bridge District Police Station accompanied a gray-haired, aged gentleman who appeared to be in his 60s or 70s. .

"Detective Bryan, this is Inspector Reid from the 13th team of the Special Operations Department of the National Police Agency. He has something to ask you." Sheriff Eli saw Abner stood up and introduced with a smile.

Abner glanced at the old man in front of him and saw that he had a high nose, deep eye sockets, blue eyeballs, a beard, and his body was full of folds. It seemed that he hadn't been taken care of for many days. It doesn't look like an inspector at all.

And, the Special Operations Department? This is the vest of the official extraordinary team, right? Punisher or night watcher?

Abner was on guard secretly, and on the surface he shook hands with Inspector Reid enthusiastically, and said politely: "It's an honor to know you, Inspector Reid."

"I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Hero of Backlund." Inspector Reid responded with a smile.

I’m taking you as a provocation... Others don’t know what’s going on, but as an official Beyonder, they must have obtained detailed information from the "Desolate". After all, their transnational law enforcement is to report to the Storm Church and the Steam Church. of.

After a few words of politeness between the two, Rhett knew what he was coming for. He wanted to find a case file of a sudden onset of dementia or madness in the last few days.

Fortunately, I just sorted out the information, otherwise it would be bad if my employer found out that I was a salary thief. Abner secretly rejoiced after passing the previously selected case to Inspector Reid.

Although this Reid did not identify himself, the identity of his special operations team, coupled with his attention to these cases against the followers of the Lord of the Storm, allowed Abner to confirm that he was a member of the "Punisher".

Like Abner, after a quick scan of the dossier, Inspector Rhett no longer smiled and left the police station with a solemn expression.

When Abner saw that the punisher had taken over the case, he decided not to continue to intervene. He looked at his watch and it was almost noon, so he said goodbye to Sheriff Eli and wanted to go to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

Who would think that as soon as he left the house, he saw Miss Judy the "Desolate" in a blue dress walking towards him with a cup of sweet iced tea, and when she saw Abner, she waved her hand far away .

Seeing that she seemed to be here for herself, Abner asked in surprise: "How do you know that I am here?" It was obvious that the dead bird with silver feathers did not follow.

Judy pointed to the vegetation on the side of the road, and said with a smile: "I went to the detective office. Because I didn't find you, I could only rely on the guidance of my partners to find it all the way."

Madam, you can actually ask the male servant of the teacher's house, he shouldn't hide my whereabouts... Abner glanced at this eldest lady who was born an extraordinary, and wisely did not say this.

"By the way, I almost forgot to do business. Karen found some key information and asked me to come back to discuss it with you... Do you have time now?" Judy said after taking a sip of sweet iced tea.

Looking at your leisurely attitude all the way, I also know that this matter is not very anxious... Abner sneered, looked at the pocket watch, and said: "I have time... But can you let me buy two disies first? pie?"

"of course can."

...

In the south of the bridge, on Rose Street, Abner pulled the top hat down, leaving the rental carriage and walking towards the Harvest Church, listening to Ms. Judy beside him muttering:

"Disi's pie is not as good as Sevia's pastry pie..."

"Abner, when you come to Fenebott in the future, I will ask you to try it."

Because it is not a Sunday, the inside of the church is still exceptionally clean. As soon as Abner pushed the door, he saw two "giants" praying in front of the holy emblem, while the blood viscount Karen was sitting in the first row of seats watching a novel.

"Captain, priest, Karen, I brought Abner back." After Judy greeted him, he ran to Karen and sat down, then took out a few flowers of different colors from his pocket and handed it to him. "This is the night vanilla, deep sleep flower, and chamomile you want. I almost got into a fight with the owner of the herbal shop for them today."

"Thanks, Judy. Silica likes the taste of'Amanda' pure dew, and now the ingredients are finally complete." Karen smiled and thanked him, and then asked curiously, "With your personality Can you even quarrel with people? It's really rare."

"You don't know how annoying the shopkeeper is! I also said a few words with him, and he called me'Han Han Girl'." Judy was still a little angry in retrospect.

"So you punish him?" Karen asked with a smile, and sympathized with the shopkeeper.

"He hasn't been able to speak for at least three days! Hmph, the medicine I prescribed is not something he can solve with a ‘pharmacist’." Judy snorted with a smirk.

The herbal shop owner you are talking about is Darkwell, right? Well, if Judy went all the way from the detective office to the Bridge District Police Station, he happened to pass by the Fat Pharmacist's shop... Abner was dumbfounded, and instinctively guessed right.

At this time, Bishop Utravsky and Captain Asenov stood up, and the shadows of the two giants directly enveloped Judy and Karen in the first row, causing them to shut their mouths at the same time.

Captain Asenoff waited for the bishop and Abner to say hello, and then sincerely said to him:

"Mr. Blaine, I'm sorry to disturb your normal life, but we have a tricky thing that needs your help..."

"What's the matter?" Abner asked cautiously without agreeing immediately. Although he also wanted to catch the witch as soon as possible, if it was too dangerous, he would definitely not agree.

Captain Asenoff looked at Karen in the first row at this time and said: "My Loen grammar is not good, and most of the descriptions are too blunt. Let's introduce the situation to Mr. Breen."

"Okay, Captain." Karen nodded, then turned to face Abner and smiled gracefully:

"Mr. Blaine, let me explain it for you in detail below."

"Please speak." Abner said kindly.

Karen said in a beautiful and magnetic voice:

"Because the warehouse of the company was completely destroyed before, and Leonardo's family has no more clues, our investigation has reached a deadlock, and we can only passively wait for the witch who raises the ‘alienated monster’ to take the initiative to show up."

"So the captain and I decided to change the direction of investigation, planning to figure out where the heretical perfume came from."

"Through the relationship of the local blood family, I investigated the interpersonal relationship of Doctor Leonardo during the period before becoming the "Harvest Sacrifice"... After a series of investigations, a very suspected lady was identified."

"She is Windsor Belling, the wife of a coal merchant, and the mistress of Viscount Loveland."

"We found out that Leonardo had a close relationship with her, and was even warned by Viscount Loveland. Even after Leonardo became the "Harvest Ritual", he still did not cut off contact with her... I have a blood family. The younger generation also saw the two of them go to a secret circle party together last month."

"To sum up, we intend to control this Ms. Windsor Belling first and get some important information from her mouth."

Windsor Bellin... the name is a bit familiar... Abner frowned, recalling the contents of the original book seriously. Generally, the characters he has never seen but are familiar with are the characters that have appeared in the original works.

Yes, Windsor Belling was the first "Primitive Moon" believer that Emlyn killed when he took part in the "hunting contest" of the blood race! It turns out that the one I almost looked directly at when I was looking back was the original moon...

Although Abner does not remember the knowledge of the outer gods, the "primitive moon" as the outer god's vest is also a widely circulated name among the low- and middle-level Beyonders, and the plot related to it can still be remembered by Abner.

After recalling the origins of Windsor, Abner had new doubts, and said to his heart: Are you not all official Extraordinaries recklessly doing things? Why not just bring people back for interrogation? Also, what's wrong with me in this?

Seems to see the question in Abner's heart~lightnovelpub.net~ Karen explained:

"Whether it is Windsor Belling’s husband or her lover, they are ostensibly believers of the Goddess of the Night, and their residence is not far from the Church of St. Samuel... It is impossible for us to enter the house in such a place to enforce the law... Attracting the intervention of night watchers."

"And that Ms. Windsor is also very simple, she will not leave the North District easily, and even if she comes out, she will always follow the Viscount Loveland, it is difficult to start."

Also, although the Mother Earth and the Goddess of Dark Night are secretly allied, they still have to show hostility on the surface, otherwise they will be seen by the God of War...

But what does this have to do with me? Can you tell me to lead that lady out? Abner sneered and asked on the surface: "Please tell me directly, what do I need to do?"

"We have heard that Windsor will go to the "Daily Observer" dance party with Viscount Loveland this Friday evening..."

"We hope that you can give me or Judy a chance to enter the prom venue through Detective Isinger's contacts."
