Mystery: Start with the Reader

"I didn't expect Mr. Grant to become a 'corpse collector', and he obviously knew the 'acting method'. Where did he get the potion formula and related knowledge?" Abner pinched his chin habitually, a little uncertain Thinking, "Could it really be the Spiritual Cult? Well, I remember that in the novel, the Spiritual Cult had a nominal head in Backlund named Patrick Bryan... Wait, Bryan? That made Jane Your father respects Mr. Blaine?"

At this moment, Abner finally combined reality with the storyline in the novel, and glimpsed the truth of the matter.

"Hugh thinks that although Mr. Grant has a solid theory, he is naive in his attitude towards the extraordinary world... There is nothing wrong with that, if he is really that...fool who was called by Miss Messenger as 'that...undead... It's normal if Mr. Blaine of ...' brings him into the extraordinary path! After all, Mr. Blaine is just a by-product of the "artificial death" plan, a quick abandoned child, and he himself is not very familiar with the contemporary extraordinary world situation learn."

After thinking about this, Abner decided to end the investigation immediately. After all, no matter how parallel or not very smart that Mr. Brian is, he is also a genuine demigod. guy thing. What's more, this demigod will sooner or later become a real believer in the goddess, and Mr. Grant will have no problem with him.

Xio looked at Abner's uncertain face, and asked a little strangely: "Is there any problem?"

Abner shook his head, not intending to tell her the inside story that he had guessed, so as not to add to her troubles.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk about it, Xiu didn't ask any further questions, and instead talked about another matter: "Forsi's new book "Storm Mountain Villa" has been published, and I'll give you a copy when the sample book arrives."

Abner was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Say 'congratulations' for me and Ms. Forsi...At the same time, I also congratulate you on getting closer to the aristocratic circle and finding the truth."

"Thank you!" Xio also smiled happily. She was very grateful to Abner, because the other party pointed out the direction of her efforts, and let her see the dawn of finding out the truth of her father's death, and she no longer ran around without a clue like before.

After chatting with Ms. Hugh for a while, Abner said goodbye to her and left the East District. Then, he came to the police station in Jowood District again.

As soon as that foul-mouthed police officer, Ai Triss, saw Abner coming in, she immediately walked up to him, looked carefully at him for a while, and then said, "Do you have some strange mental disease?"

"Spiritually? Why do you ask?" Abner asked puzzled. Even if it's a little strange that I passed out yesterday, I should suspect that there is something wrong with my body, right?

"Because it's hard to imagine that a person who is strong enough to pick up that cane with one hand would be so weak that he would pass out, so it must be a mental problem!" Aitris said firmly.

"So it was you who sent me back yesterday..." As soon as Abner mentioned the cane, it suddenly dawned on Abner what the other party was going to say. This was implying that he helped him yesterday and brought back the cane.

"Who else but me?" Aitris raised her chin and continued, "Although your cane is indeed heavy, it's still lighter than I imagined..."

"Thank you!" Abner first thanked, and then said helplessly, "Don't you feel tired of talking like this?"

"Isn't this the style of your detectives? You never directly state the key results, but instead list seemingly unrelated things, and then show your reasoning." Police officer Ai Triss curled her lips and said.

Am I that familiar with this guy? What's the matter with this sense of sight that hurts friends' bickering? The corner of Abner's mouth twitched, he ignored this awkward familiarity, and planned to go upstairs to the office to find the teacher.

At this time, Ai Trisi said behind her: "Detective Essinger Stanton went to investigate the evidence... Besides, there is a very troublesome person upstairs..."

He didn't finish his words,

Abner heard a distraught voice from the second floor:

"I've said it several times, that guy is just spending the night at my house! I didn't intend to kidnap him, nor did I partner with him to blackmail his parents' money! This bastard is acting on his own!"

Ai Triss shrugged and said: "You heard it too, this person is Emlyn White, that friend of Mr. Little Heidi. We found out his address last night and detained him for interrogation. But This guy looks very haughty, has a bad breath and can be sarcastic about anything. His parents got a lawyer to bail him out and this is just one last routine questioning."

Isn't this the same as you? Abner almost uttered these words, but before he could speak, he saw a man with his hair combed back obliquely, with a serious look and a bit of chic coming down the stairs. This should be Emlyn. And behind him was a middle-aged man with serious expression and meticulous hair, who was obviously his lawyer.

Abner didn't want to talk to Emlyn at first, but who would have thought that the future Tarot Club 'Moon' would walk over and ask Aitris, "How? I'm fine, but you guys said 'People who like dolls are not normal, there must be something wrong', you have to bring me to the police station! Can you apologize to me now?"

Ai Triss murmured "Sorry" in a low voice unhappily, and then said eccentrically: "Dr. White should really check the birth records of Backlund Hospital."

"What do you mean?" Emlyn was already satisfied when he heard the apology, but turned around because of what Aitris said behind him, and whispered, "Backlund Hospital wasn't even built when I was born, where to go?" Looking for records? No, why should I look for this record!"

"Dr. White is so respected, how could he have such an uneasy son like you? He must have been hugged wrong!" Ai Cui provoked unceremoniously.

It was only then that Emlyn understood what he meant, but he was not angry, because there was no possibility of the blood race being wrong. Therefore, he only gave Ai Tris a disdainful look, as if he was very disdainful, and then walked past him and walked out of the police station.

Ai Triss's head was throbbing with anger from this attitude, and she almost wanted to fight the opponent.

Abner stopped him, shook his head and said, "Are you children?"

"You have also seen how annoying he is! He is simply more annoying than you detectives!" Ai Triss said without holding back.

Abner was amazed at this, and said, "Why do you want to be a policeman with such a character?" How great it would be to be a superhuman on the hunter path!

"I didn't want to be a policeman at first, but my father insisted on me...I actually want to be an adventurer." Ai Triss seemed discouraged, and said helplessly.

"Who is your father?"

"It's Sheriff Farthing."

Abner didn't bother to talk any more with this hypocritical second-generation policeman, so he came directly to the office and carefully read the files of another disappearance case.

...

In the southwest of Jorwood District, in the depths of a narrow alley surrounded by buildings on Conslet Street, Sergeant Isengard Stanton and Sheriff Farthing led four policemen to see a scene that made San value go crazy.

There are many bloody thighs, calves, feet wearing leather boots, feet wearing high heels, ribs and hearts, arm wrecks, eyes of different sizes and other human body "parts" messily placed on the ground here. There are several pieces of red and white intestines hanging on the top. Although there is not much red blood around, it still makes this place look like hell.

The four policemen, who were still ordinary people, vomited and vomited out on the spot. Sergeant Farthing also covered his mouth and forcibly endured for a while before finally retaining his dignity. Only Detective Essinger maintained his composure by relying on his extraordinary ability. After careful observation, he found some tissues that were obviously more thoroughly decomposed from the disgusting human remains.

"Living corpse?" Detective Essinger frowned tightly.

...

In the police station, Abner, who had carefully reviewed the files, had made up his mind, and once again called Police Officer Ai Tris to go out together.

This case of disappearance is not complicated.

The person who reported the case was a couple from a middle-class family. The man of the house was the department manager of an import and export company and was rarely at home. The hostess is a housewife who is mainly responsible for housework and teaching her daughter. But their daughter is more rebellious, like a naughty boy in character, always sneaking out of the house to play. But this time, after she went out, she never came back.

From the file, Abner could see that the girl was a person with good ideas and action, and there were indications that she had been planning to divorce since her mother introduced her engagement partner a few months ago. The family ran away.

Starting with her social circle, Abner soon learned from a friend of hers that she had taken on a false identity to go on a sea adventure.

"It's still a fake identity of a man... This girl has something!" Although Abner didn't approve of her leaving without saying goodbye, he still admired her courage to pursue freedom.

"Till Swiger...or Anne Gwynn? That's amazing!"

Appreciation is admiration, but Abner still handed over the investigation results to the young lady's parents, and the disappearance case was considered to be completely closed. After that, how her parents will find the daughter who left home is not the police's business.

It's just that Ai Triss seemed to have lost her mind since she found out that the lady had gone to sea, and he didn't return to normal until the case was over.

...

In the evening, when Abner bid farewell to Ai Tris and returned to the teacher's house, he happened to see Detective Essinger returning home by car.

"Our commission is over!" Detective Essinger said directly as soon as he saw his student.

"It's over? Have you solved those six disappearance cases?" Abner asked curiously.

"No... the police department has already transferred the case to the punishers! You know, we are not suitable to be present with the minions of those tyrants." Detective Essinger didn't seem to be angry at all, but said in a relaxed tone .

"To the Punisher?" Most of those families believe in goddesses, so they can't be transferred to the Punisher just because they live near the Holy Wind Church?

"Yes, it was done by the fish that slipped through the negligence of the punishers before, so it is natural for them to solve it."
