Ember Gun

  Chapter 114 Firmly Believe in Something

   "So why didn't you try to contact Suyalan Hall in the first place? This monster acts so purposefully. It stands to reason that the detectives will play a bigger role, right."

  The carriage became Lorenzo's temporary office. He and Joey sat in it, and the folded table was piled with information about the dead.

"There are many reasons. Our cleansing agency has a special investigation team, but this is the first time we have encountered a sensible monster. The reason for not using the Suyalan Hall is very simple. People will be affected."

  Joy slowly said that in the confrontation with the demon, the most weird thing is the insanely aggressive nature, just like a foreign monk whispering in your ear until it drives you crazy.

  Most people who can accept demons are trained to hold their minds even in the face of the weirdness. The more advanced ones are the specialized knights like Joey, who can truly look directly at demons.

  Absurd and hateful, mortals cannot understand and cannot predict.

  Lorenzo picked up the file, the old dull wind poured into the gap of the carriage, looking at it casually, and according to the identity and status of the dead, a broken story was pieced together in Lorenzo's mind.

The first deceased was Luo Wei, a man who was nearly forty years old and came from a city outside of Old Dunling. Like many people who came to work in Old Dunling, he had a good job in the factory at the beginning. He was expelled due to alcoholism at work, and finally fell to the Xiacheng district and became a gang member, not a core figure, just an ordinary member.

He was found dead in his own home. Before he died, he suffered tremendous torture. The murderer left words of revenge in his house. The Geiger index in the house has been consistently high.

  This is the cause of the matter, the first target of the monster's revenge.

Lorenzo meditated. In fact, from the first deceased, a lot of hidden information can be inferred, just like Lorenzo once tracked down some things. The first person must know something, and the demon only learned from him. Find the location of the remaining people in your mouth.

The second deceased was named Duolun, who was about the same age as Rowe. According to the documents, they were still friends from the same hometown. They came to Jiedunling to work hard together. He worked in a shop. After Rowe was unemployed, he went to see it. Visited Rowe several times.

  The cause of death was basically the same. It was found that he died tragically at home, which was the second most revenge of the demon.

Sure enough, as Lorenzo guessed, the demon only knew the location of Rowe when he took revenge at first. During the torture, he found the position of the others, and then took revenge one by one. There is also a connection between Rowe and Doren. They They are fellow villagers, so the monsters are likely to be their fellow villagers.

   "They are from... Burhans."

  Looking at the last page of the document, Lorenzo was a little surprised. The two people’s hometown is Burhans, the largest industrial city in Inervig, where the famous Burhans military factory is located.

  But this made Lorenzo couldn’t help but think of another suspicious point. It is a huge industrial city, and there should be no shortage of opportunities for work and wealth. Then why did these two people come to Jiudunling all the way?

  With such doubts, Lorenzo opened the file of the next deceased.

  The next deceased were the Na Eds, and it was the case that Lorenzo participated in under the invitation of the Suaran Hall.

Mrs. Ed was the woman who died tragically in the **** house, and Mr. Ed was the deceased found in Lorenzo’s chase. They were a couple, but they were separated temporarily because of the quarrel, but they were not too far apart. This also explained the reason why the demon continued to commit crimes after killing Madam Ed.

  The last is the deceased found today, Hughes, the gang leader in Xiacheng.

Lorenzo feels a headache. What he has to do now is to piece together the connections between these people. Although their status and identities are different, they must have an intersection in some way, and this intersection is why the demons list them. The reason on the revenge list.

   Lorenzo then asked.

   "Are there no witnesses?"

  Many cruel crimes, Lorenzo didn't believe that the demon could do it seamlessly, someone would definitely see it.

  Joy shook his head in disappointment.

"This is the tricky part of demons. We do have a few witnesses. They witnessed the demons directly, and the demons unexpectedly didn't kill them. As a result, those witnesses were basically affected by a great spirit. Trauma, currently recuperating in the hospital, can't ask anything."

  The weird corrosive nature of demons has been a huge resistance against them so far.

   "So indirect? Can it be said that there is no trace even after it has been observed?"

   Lorenzo asked again.

   "No, it's weird. After it was over, no matter how we tracked it down, we couldn't find a trace, and we couldn't even list the suspect."

  Joy answered Lorenzo’s question. He also had a certain ability to eliminate organs in investigation, but they still had no clues in the follow-up investigation. It seemed that the demon could appear anywhere in Old Dunling at will.

   "Appearing in any place, it will not arouse anyone's alertness."

  This is a ghost-like opponent.

In Lorenzo’s field of vision, the entire world has become countless ghosts, and the red ghost steps into it, like a monster hidden under the ice. It may appear from any point at any time and then descend. Diving, and Lorenzo and the others can't chase him.

  Lorenzo felt the difficulty of the incident for the first time.

   "There is one more thing, why do demons leave handwriting?"

  After a brief meditation, Lorenzo asked a new question. This is also the point that Lorenzo can’t figure out the most at the moment.

  Why did the demon leave a handwriting... or did he want to show it to someone? Leave words of revenge to tell someone that he is coming, and is he next?

   "I think I have a clue."

  Lorenzo said suddenly, and then looked at Joey.

   "Did you keep this case blocked forever?"

  Joy nodded.

   "All things related to demons are under the blockade of the decontamination agency. Even if some of them can't be concealed, our public opinion guidance department will modify the incident, such as misleading why the gas exploded."

   "That is to say, no one knows about this series of cases except you?"

  Joy nodded.

   "We can't find the next unlucky ghost. Of course, there may be no next unlucky ghost. For example, the monster's revenge has ended."

   "We can try to release the news, maybe we can attract the potential unlucky ghost, and then wait for the rabbit."

  Lorenzo's eyes lit up.

   "And maybe it can connect the whole event together."

  Joy's expression also became serious, and he said calmly.

   "This will be very risky."

   "Is there a reward if there is risk? Maybe before we take a shot, that potential unlucky ghost will come to us."

   "Then Lorenzo, just like you said, what if the monster's revenge is over? Are we not stunned?"

  Lorenzo denied Joey's words.

   "My thoughts have just changed, and I also thought about this possibility, but it's wrong. If the monster's revenge is over, he doesn't need to leave revenge in the handwriting, right?"

   "There is only one result, the revenge is not over yet."

  Lorenzo looked at the **** field outside the car window, cruel scarlet everywhere.

   "Of course, it is also possible that we guessed wrong at the beginning. Maybe the demon's writing is just performance art? After all, all our speculations now are based on our own ideas."

  Lorenzo is not a detective with an IQ like a monster. He can only speculate everything based on his own conjecture, and find the one that is closest to the truth among all the possibilities.

Thinking of this, Lorenzo couldn’t help feeling that it would be great if he were a demon hunter from the Shangdafen branch. Unlike his own iron bump, which can’t be killed no matter how he fights, the power of those demon hunters can foresee the future for a short time. Think about it. It's too simple to use that kind of power to detect cases.

  Lorenzo once met a mysterious Shangda Pian demon hunter. He babbled at a map of Fei Leng Cui, and with a random finger, he found the location on the map where the murder would happen next.

  "Are you sure you want to do this?"

   Joey asked again, confirming to Lorenzo.

"Yes, and we don’t need to disclose the specific cause of death. We just need to tell the other people on the revenge list that their friend is dead. They may find a way by themselves, or they may come to us, of course, no matter what the outcome is. Will affect the demon's actions, that's enough."

Lorenzo said that he picked up the file again, and then he will find out the connection between these people in the time he has bought. He also knows that this strategy is only a bad strategy, maybe the unlucky person on the list is not at all. What do you care about newspapers?

  So the hope of solving the case is still at the original starting point, the contact of these people.

   "Joy, please get out of the car and stay for a while. You shouldn't want to see the next things."

  Lorenzo spoke and took out the exquisite tin box, which contained rows of rolled cigarettes.

   "Huh? I've heard about this. They say that your cigarette is like hallucinogen, and it will give you ‘inspiration’."

  Joy looked a little curiously, and Lorenzo nodded.

   "People can't imagine what they haven't seen, so we need some little help."

  Lorenzo said, smoking a cigarette, but did not light it, he was dumbfounded, and then said.

"Of course, sometimes human beings can’t see it, but it’s actually a protection for ourselves, because we shouldn’t be looking at it. Our brains can’t accept those things, just like you’re looking at a complicated pattern. The impact will make you unable to distinguish any texture at all. There are countless nicks under each pattern. If you repeat this cycle, you will go crazy."

  Joy felt a nameless chill. He looked at Lorenzo, not knowing why he suddenly said this, but he seemed to understand a little bit, nodded, and got out of the car with a worried look.

   "So peeping into those things, there is always a price to pay."

   Lorenzo muttered to himself and lit a cigarette.

  In front of him, Watson was smiling and sitting where Joey had just been. Her appearance became clearer as Lorenzo took the bellflower, then the light disappeared and everything fell into darkness.

   "Lorenzo, you said you would never touch bellflower again to deepen your connection with the darkness, but you really couldn't help it."

  Watson’s voice echoed back and forth in the dark, but Lorenzo did not respond. He held a cigarette and quietly looked at the document in his hand.

  Lorenzo would sink deeper into the darkness every time he smoked the bellflower, but now is not the time to hesitate, the appearance of the inferior secret blood has completely aroused Lorenzo's killing intent.

   Breathing hard, feeling the fishy throat in his throat, the woman's sarcasm kept ringing, but this could not interfere with him.

In fact, he has had many chances to look back. He can completely ignore the monsters. With Lorenzo's power, he can live very well, everywhere, but Lorenzo does not, because he believes in certain things. , He believes that there will be nothing if you stick to it, so he keeps holding the nail sword, burning with blazing white flames.

  He believed so, and was willing to fight for it, even if he fell into the deepest part of the darkness.

  So the whole darkness shattered, and Watson's white hand grasped the broken corner, and then handed it to Lorenzo.

  Rovey, Doren, Hughes, Naeds...

Their faces were cut into countless pieces in the shattered darkness, but there were slender threads that pulled them together. The text on the document seemed to come alive at this moment. They rose and revolved in Luo. Renzo's eyes were disrupted and then rearranged into a new look.

The same words, but arranged in a different sequence, is a new story. In the gap between the words, Lorenzo vaguely saw the fuzzy dots, and now there is only a key line connecting them. Together.

Duo Lun and Luo Wei, who are from the same hometown, stated in the document that they first tried to contact the gang members in Xiacheng District, but for some reason, Duo Lun finally quit and became an employee of the shop, and Luo Wei became a worker in the factory. Joined the gang.

  The gang they contacted is unknown...

  Lorenzo fiercely looked at the other corner of the Shattered Veil. Some time ago, Hughes’ gang was still a small group, and it has grown recently...

  The nameless line connected the three of them together, and finally turned to the Eds.

  Darkness shattered, Lorenzo dropped the cigarette **** in his hand and looked tiredly at the top of the car.

  Dorren and Rowe both have connections with Hughes, and Hughes’ business in the lower city is smuggling. It must be the same as the Ende Town operation that Lorenzo had contacted before. These three unlucky ghosts may have smuggled something.

So imagine this way, Rowe and Doren first had contact with Hughes and smuggled something, then Rowe and Doren left with a vote and then separated from Hughes... Then the Eds were in this connection. What is its positioning?

   Coughed vigorously a few times, the feeling was really bad after smoking, the whole person's actions seemed to be sluggish, Lorenzo pulled the car door and shouted to Joey.

   "Is he coming?"

  This incident happened in Xiacheng, if anyone here is reliable, he must be the only one.

   "I have arrived, when you just got inspiration."

  Shrike walked out of the door and smiled at Lorenzo.
