The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

At this moment, Leo was extremely calm, swept his right hand around his waist, held the king in his hand, and slammed into the big mouth of the monster's stomach twice.

When two incendiary bullets hit the monster's stomach, huge heat and flames erupted instantly, directly turning the monster into a ball of fire.

Even if it turned into a ball of fire, the monster still didn't stop attacking and rushed to Leo to hug him, and the two died together.

However, Leo didn't give him this chance at all. The twins in his hands turned into long cross swords. The scene of the knight fighting appeared in his mind. Moved back, easily avoiding the big mouth on the abdomen that was biting him.

Then he took a quick step and moved to the side of the target. The left and right long swords twisted and dragged the target in front of him in a somewhat weird cross posture. It was soon burned into a ball of coke.

Although it seemed that the president of the Skull and Bones Society had been dealt with, Leo did not leave immediately. Instead, he watched the flames on the monster's body go out completely, and then cut open the corpse that was almost as coke with the Gemini's cross swords to ensure that the skeleton was completely destroyed. President Hui is really dead.

After cutting open the monster's corpse so that it was almost impossible to restore it, Leo turned the twins back into fists and turned to leave, but a red lump in the corpse caught Leo's attention and made him stop. step.

When he picked up the block, the analysis content transmitted by the sub-brain system made him stunned for a moment, then he put the red block in his pocket, walked out of the building, and disappeared into the alley on the opposite street middle.

Albert is the Chief Sheriff of the First Quarter Lake District. He is only fifty-seven years old this year, and he is considered a young man among all the high-level officials.

It's just that he doesn't like to find ways to get his position up again like other young men, but hopes that he can retire in his current position, and then use his generous pension to buy a piece of forest and farm in his hometown and live some leisurely life. Life.

The First Quarter Police Station, located on the outskirts of the city, is jokingly called a pension area in Miria City, because most of this area is the holiday villas of the rich and powerful in Miria City, and usually only some servants maintain these manor villas. Those dignitaries would bring their bodyguards with them when they came on vacation, and even if something happened, they would not let the police officers handle it, they would only solve it by themselves, so the police working here were very leisurely.

For aspiring cops hoping to get ahead, Crescent Lake is hell, and for a cop like Albert, it's heaven. So when he applied for a transfer, he did not hesitate to bribe the officials of the administrative department and specifically asked for a transfer here.

Now after drinking morning tea every morning, he reads the newspaper for a while, then fishes with a fishing rod, and returns to the police station in the evening.

It's just that, just when Albert was holding a fishing rod and preparing to go fishing by the lake, an express order from the Miria City Headquarters made his good mood today extremely bad.

"Boss, what happened? Why is your face so ugly?" Albert's secretary couldn't help asking worriedly when he saw the gloomy expression on his boss's face.

"Something has happened!" Albert simply responded, and then immediately ordered: "Immediately call all the off-duty and off-duty police officers, and everyone must bring weapons. We are going to garrison the XC area."

"What? XC District?" Albert's secretary also showed a surprised expression, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be a gang riot?"

"It's worse than a gang riot." Albert threw the instructions in his hand on the table, and while reaching out to retrieve the weapons he had collected for many years, he said, "The president of Skull and Bones was assassinated last night."

After finishing speaking, he left the secretary with a frightened expression on his face and walked out of the office.

Yes, in Miria City, the assassination of a gang leader is far more concerned by the residents of Miria City than the assassination of a certain country's ambassador. All the newspapers in the city have issued a supplement at the same time, dedicated to To report this matter, at the same time, they also sent their best reporters to infiltrate the XC area, which has been sealed off by martial law, to collect news materials.

Now the XC district of Miria City not only gathered more than 70% of the police in the city, but even the gendarmerie stationed outside the city all the year round and not allowed to enter the city without the order of the administrative council has also moved into the XC district, and all the streets of the XC district It was blocked, and all irrelevant personnel were only allowed to go out, not allowed to enter, and as long as the members of the Skull and Bones were on the street, no matter whether the other party had violent actions or not, they would be controlled first.

Although some gangsters who were at odds with the Skull and Bones felt that this was a good opportunity to suppress the Skull and Bones after receiving the news, but when they saw a large number of heavily armed gendarmerie carrying steam crossbows stationed in the XC area, they sent all When the streets were blocked, they knew that they must not move around, otherwise, the gendarmerie would be willing to use them as a model to warn the gangsters.

Outside the Skull and Bones building, there are already more than 300 policemen and more than 500 gendarmerie guards at this moment. Some senior police chiefs and detectives gathered outside the building. They did not enter the building, but waited for something outside. .

Also on the other side of the building, dozens of gentlemen in black wool coats, collared shirts, and bow ties gathered and were discussing something.

At this moment, a carriage that drove into the vicinity of the Skull and Bones building was stopped by the gendarmerie, but the gendarmerie immediately let it in after seeing the documents produced by the people in the carriage.

The carriage soon arrived at the Qianping Square of the Skull and Bones Society, and a tall, thin, ordinary-looking man got out of the carriage. Although this man's clothes are very ordinary, but he has a pair of sharp eagle eyes, so that anyone who looks at him can't help but bow his head,

After the man got out of the carriage, the group of sheriffs and detectives came over immediately, and one of the sheriffs who seemed to have the highest position greeted the man very warmly, saying: "Ljungberg, you are finally here! We can..."

The man didn't have the slightest enthusiasm for talking to the police chief. Before the other party finished speaking, he interrupted coldly: "You didn't send anyone in, did you?"

"No, of course not." The sheriff was very familiar with Ljungberg's character, and he was not annoyed by the indifference just now. Instead, he said very conscientiously like a subordinate: "Of course, except for those who discovered that the situation here was abnormal at the very beginning. Except for the police officers, everyone else just walked on the first floor and did not go upstairs."

Hearing this, Ljungberg frowned, but didn't say anything, and asked, "Where is the patrolman who first discovered the scene?"

"In the hospital." A detective stood up and replied: "He is a newcomer and saw the bloody scene, and his mind collapsed. He is currently being treated in the hospital."

"Now anyone dares to call in the police station." After hearing this, Ljungberg looked coldly at the highest-status sheriff beside him, and muttered, embarrassing the other party, but not becoming angry from embarrassment.

Afterwards, Ljungberg walked towards the Skull and Bones building. The gentlemen gathered on the other side greeted him, and saluted Ljungberg, saying: "Good morning, Your Excellency Lord Ljungberg."

Ljungberg looked at the person coldly, and said with a little disdain: "Since when did the people in the Political Department take charge of murder cases? Is the parliament planning to reform the powers of the police?"

One of the leading gentlemen quickly explained: "Your Excellency Ljungberg, we were only sent to assist in the investigation, not..."

"Enough! I know what those guys behind you are thinking. They are just worried that there will be things that are not good for them in the Skull and Bones building." Ljungberg unceremoniously exposed the purpose of these people, and then said very seriously: "You can go in if you want to, but you have to wait for me to investigate the situation inside. Before that, you all stay outside obediently." As he said, his eyes swept over some gentlemen with angry expressions , turned to the policeman next to him and said: "Find someone to watch them, don't let them leave here, don't let them touch anyone."

After finishing speaking, they left on their own without waiting for these gentlemen to protest, and the sheriffs faithfully followed Ljungberg's order and sent people to keep an eye on the politicians' dogs.

When he came to the main entrance of the building, Ljungberg did not enter the building immediately, but walked around the building, and then stopped not far from a carriage, looked to the left and right, and looked again. The three bodies that were found before.

"The murderer took care of the three Skull and Bones security guards at this place." Ljungberg stood in one position, then made two throwing movements, and said, "Here, the murderer used a weapon similar to a throwing axe. At the same time, the two security guards on the left and right were dealt with, and the remaining one directly broke his neck."

As he spoke, he walked over to the side of the two corpses whose chest cavity had been split open and their hearts crushed by the tomahawk, and took out a ruler to compare the wounds carefully, and said, "It should be the Paneer tomahawk, the murderer It must have been the Paneer ax that killed these two men."

The sheriff and detective next to him were holding notebooks at this time, carefully recording every word Ljungberg said.

Ljungberg stood up and walked towards the building. After entering the building, he looked at the corpse leaning against the wall, then at the charred corpse on the ground that was no longer human-shaped, and then turned his head to look at the wall outside the security room cutting groove.

Standing in place for a while, Ljungberg walked to the beginning of the cutting groove, carefully looked at the smooth edge of the cutting groove, the expression on his face became very serious, and walked halfway around the security room along the cut. Circle, and then opened the door to see the corpses strewn all over the security room, the expression on his face became serious.

Although the sheriff and detectives present could be said to be used to seeing corpses, this was the first time they had seen such a scene where corpses were strewn all over the ground and blood flowed across the ground.

Many people's faces turned extremely pale, and a feeling of nausea surged up, forcing them to run out of the building quickly and find a secluded place to vent.

The faces of the rest of the people were also not very good-looking, but they still persisted, still holding paper and pens, waiting for Ljungberg to make an on-site analysis.

However, Ljungberg didn't say anything this time. He went directly to the second floor, opened the security room on the second floor, looked at it, and continued to walk to the third floor. He didn't stop until the seventh floor, and said in a deep voice : "The murderer's purpose is very clear, that is, to prevent the people in the building from getting out forever, so he cleaned up these people floor by floor, and he was very decisive."

After speaking, he walked to the main entrance of the castle in the air, looked around, walked in, saw the cracks on the special glass on the ground, and said in a deep voice as if talking to himself: "I remember when the skeleton would buy special glass It cost a lot of money, right?"

The sheriff following Ljungberg immediately echoed, "It's more than three million gold flanges. It was a sensation at the time. It is said that it is specially customized glass, and its hardness is not much worse than steel."

Speaking of this, the sheriff and detectives behind Ljungberg couldn't help but look at the crack on the ground.

Ljungberg's eagle-eyed gaze swept across the room, and stayed for a while at the crack in the glass wall on the right, the oversized coat on the ground, etc., then pondered for a moment, and said, "The murderer came in directly through the gate." After entering, he did not directly attack like the previous security room, but talked with the Skull and Bones president for a while, so that the Skull and Bones president was ready, and then he took action." As he spoke, he surrounded the special glass with The footprints under him turned around twice, and said: "This murderer is very strong. The president of Skull and Bones was beaten passively almost the whole time, and finally he was kicked out of the pavilion and fell into the garden below."

Then, Ljungberg walked to the door again, stared at the ground, entered the circular corridor, came to a metal door and pushed it in, and saw the room full of boxes.

At this time, all the sheriffs and detectives behind them were breathing heavily and swallowing dryly. It was obvious that they all knew what was in these boxes, and they were probably all thinking about how to do it right now. It is justifiable to return these boxes to the police station.

However, Ljungberg was not at all interested in these boxes full of money. His eyes fell on the empty safe next to the fireplace, and he said in a deep voice: "The murderer is very familiar with the headquarters building of the Skull and Bones, from the first floor I didn't go to the wrong place at the beginning, and the target of the shot was very clear. I knew better about the hidden safe in the Skull and Bones building. After solving the Skull and Bones president, I didn't leave but went directly to this room to open the safe. Taking away the contents, it is obvious that his target is not only the president of Skull and Bones, but also the contents of the safe."

After finishing speaking, he ran downstairs quickly, came to the garden, stopped at the place where the president of the Skull and Bones fell, took out a test tube, and scraped some bloody pus from the stone on the ground , Then seal the mouth and carefully put it into the arms.

Then, he looked at the entrance of the garden that had been damaged, looked at the spread of broken stones on the ground, and walked to the side of the charred corpses, carefully looked at each piece, and even got down on the ground to smell it. Makes those sheriffs and detectives sick to their stomachs.
