Chapter 98 The incident begins

264

Judging from the death of his assistant, who was shattered to pieces on the ground, this murder was considered very vicious. Therefore, Klein was interrogated for a longer time and the questions were more rigorous. However, he was accompanied by a regular lawyer, and Klein cleared his name on his own.

In vain, the interrogation went smoothly.

Klein took the initiative to reveal everything about his contact with Essinger to arrange a meeting time. The police inspectors also successfully found the corresponding letters at his residence, but these things were not enough to dispel Klein's murder suspicion. Fortunately, since

The body of Isengard Stanton was not found in the mansion. As long as the victim can be successfully found and he can testify, things will turn around.

Thinking of this, Klein immediately said to the police officers: "Mr. Essinger Stanton and I were once hired by the Backlund Police Department to investigate previous serial murder cases."

"The murderer behind the serial murders committed crimes with brutal methods. Judging from Mr. Essinger's assistant and the victim, it is very likely that the murderer this time is related to the previous one. Maybe he is an accomplice who came to avenge his companions."

These things came to his mind after he saw the "Legend of Demons in the Silveras Region" that fell on the floor in the living room. His intuition accurately grasped the connection between this matter and "the devil", so

Only then did he think of calling Mr. Edward over when he notified Jurgen to come to get him.

When the police officer opened the door and went out to look for the mail at his residence, Klein glanced outside and saw the fellow angel sitting upright on one side of the long corridor, with his head slightly lowered and his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap.

wait.

After all, you don't know when you will be able to leave the police station. The "devil" will not wait for you. The sooner the message is delivered, the better.

Therefore, Klein immediately changed his strategy and told in great detail the process of getting acquainted with Isengard Stanton due to the serial murder case.

In addition, he also took the initiative to mention that Isengard Stanton organized a group of detectives to investigate the serial murder case and successfully obtained part of the reward.

"In that commission, although I only gave some ideas, well, to use the professional terminology of the private detective industry, I provided consulting opinions, but I was still considered by Mr. Stanton to have made the greatest contribution, so I got the most

Bounty." Klein concluded.

The two police officers in charge of the interrogation recorded these situations and asked if anyone could prove the above. Klein gave the names and addresses of private investigators such as Stuart and Kaslana.

"Excellent, Mr. Moriarty, your answer is detailed enough." A police officer stopped his pen and asked, "How long have you been at Isengard Stanton's house today? I mean from the time you entered.

until we discover it.”

Klein thought for a moment and answered directly without consulting Jurgen's lawyer: "Two to three minutes."

What he said was his true personal feeling.

Another police officer raised his eyebrows and said: "Many nearby residents can confirm that you entered Eisinger Stanton's home at about 2:10 in the afternoon, and we arrived at the scene at 2:28 in the afternoon, which means

, you were in the house for about eighteen minutes, not two or three minutes!"

"What on earth were you doing for such a long time? Why didn't you leave and call the police?"

Eighteen minutes passed? Klein suddenly frowned.

He felt that the stalemate between him and the silently watching person had lasted for at least a minute. How come a full eighteen minutes had passed?

This question was unfavorable to Klein and seemed to be a bit unreasonable. The accompanying lawyer Jurgen leaned forward slightly and wanted to change the subject appropriately. However, Klein was not afraid of the slanting shadow and stopped Jurgen, telling his true story.

Feelings were expressed without any embellishment.

"I do feel like it's only been two or three minutes."

He emphasized "his own feelings".

By the time the interrogation was over and all the evidence had been extracted, it was almost dark.

After struggling for so long, and finally being charged 50 pounds for bail, Klein was in a very unhappy mood.

After everything was over, it was already past dinner time. Jurgen originally wanted to invite Klein to his home as a guest, but considering that he had to tell Mr. Edward quickly about the devil, Klein reluctantly refused this delicious dinner.

Jurgen was not surprised when he heard this. He had guessed that the two of them had something important to communicate in private.

He was worried that Mrs. Doris was old, in poor health, and would be lonely at home, so he gave Klein a few words and got in the carriage to leave. Only then did Klein finally have the opportunity to explain the matter.

Talk to Edward carefully.

"I see."

After listening to Klein's introduction, Edward replied rather disappointedly: "I didn't expect that the Beria family has declined to such an extent. The demon channel is really dead. A Sequence 5 kid actually didn't kill that Detective Essinger.

, I didn’t kill you, but I was restrained by the two of you for more than ten minutes, and the neighbor called the police. It sounds like I don’t need to do anything at all, this skill will be learned soon. "

The devil's speaking style is really devilish, and his words are like "If it were me, neither of you would survive"...well, that's probably true.

Klein was ashamed: "Have you confirmed that he is a Sequence 5?"

"Yes." Edward cut off a corner of the butter waffle on the plate with a fork and replied thoughtfully, "Killing people by disturbing emotions is a basic use of the ability of the "Apostle of Desire". In situations of high tension or panic,

The mind will misjudge the flow of time. The simplest example is that in novels, there is often a description of "the moment when the bomb explodes seems to become extremely long"? Not only to express the atmosphere, but also because of human senses

It’s easy to be affected by various emotional factors and create illusions.”

Human senses are very sharp, so they are easily deceived. As long as the five senses such as vision, taste, and smell are properly deceived, they can easily mislead humans. Even intense emotions can affect their judgment.

"So that's it."

It was already dark outside, and the club's chef should have gotten off work, but Klein hadn't had dinner yet. So Edward simply invited him to take a break and have something to eat in a pretty good cafe, and frankly said that this was all because of

Information given as a gift.

After taking a look at the price list, Klein immediately raised his face in shock: "This information of mine shouldn't be worth so much, right?"

"How is that possible? You have to believe that even some small information can potentially benefit others."

Edward moved the topic away tactfully. Of course he would not say bluntly, "Because I have been waiting for Beria to take action for more than a month, and you telling me this information now is really a timely help." That's all he said.

, Klein stopped being polite and ordered a soup, a cake and a staple dish of lobster pasta, while Edward chose his preferred light cream muffin, with some chopped chestnuts, which had a very refreshing taste.

"As for Beria, do you have any other ideas?"

Klein rolled the pasta again and again with a fork, picked up a lobster meat, took a big mouthful, chewed hard and swallowed, and then said: "The information is limited, the first victim now is Essinger

Sir, I can only guess that the Devil Dog's associates are seeking revenge on every detective involved in the investigation. Even if I don't run into him today, he will come to kill me sooner or later."

"Yes." Edward didn't take it seriously, "It's actually a good thing that we met earlier. You saved Isengard's life, and you also successfully learned that a demon has been secretly targeting you. Otherwise, it would be too good to hide in the dark all the time.

If he takes action, it will be revealed that he has not yet succeeded because he is not smart enough."

...It's so easy to do...Klein was choked up again by such a demon's words. Judging from Edward's expression, he was probably, maybe, maybe, really thinking about how he would put all the people together if he was a Sequence 5.

The detective kills this thing one by one without leaving any trace!

It's not that he can't understand it, haha... Klein wiped away the non-existent cold sweat in his heart and thought about it from his perspective. If I saw a fake fortune teller, I might think the same way.

Chatting with demons is really stressful. But now I know that among the many families related to demons, the most powerful Beria family has the tradition of cultivating extraordinary animals as assistants. It is really a luxury behavior. This reminds me

Miss Justice and her pet dog.

It, together with the Andrerad and North families, formed a loose organization called the "Blood Worship Cult". Although some intelligence only said that the latter was in decline, it now seems that the latter two are dependent on the former.

Although you can get a lot of knowledge about the path of demons from the little "sun", after all, the land abandoned by the gods has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and a lot of the information is outdated.

The delicious food soothed Klein's depressed mood to a certain extent, and Edward's presence also made Klein feel that he was very safe now. So, in a relatively relaxed environment, they had dinner.

When the two returned to Minsk Street in the Jowood District, the sky was completely dark, and the light of the gas street lamp was even brighter than the red moon that seemed to be invisible in the sky.

After having a delicious and sumptuous dinner from Senior Angel, for safety reasons and living in a large neighborhood, Edward chose to take a walk back with Klein. Under the cold red moon and in the cold winter air

, a remnant of the past and an outsider came to No. 15 Minsk Street leisurely.

"Then I will send it here." Edward stood on the street and said goodbye, "Goodbye, Klein."

"Thank you for sending me back. Maybe we will meet again tomorrow." Klein couldn't help but joke.

There was "Backlund Daily" in the mailbox at the door. Klein's mind wandered for a moment, and he remembered that the angel behind him seemed to be one of the special editors of this newspaper.

He took the newspaper, opened the door and entered the house. As soon as he put his cane away, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

His diviner spiritual intuition told him that a stranger had entered his home!

Is it the police officer who came to collect evidence earlier? Klein looked around cautiously and suddenly found a letter on the coffee table.

There should only be newspapers there!

Klein entered the living room, always on guard against an attack, and moved closer to the coffee table. During the entire process, the surroundings were silent and nothing was unusual.

After looking down at the letter for a few times, Klein took out his black gloves and put them on before picking it up and opening it.

Inside the envelope was a thin piece of letter paper. After unfolding it, a dark red color immediately entered Klein's eyes, and the faint smell of blood lingered in his nose.

On the letter paper, a line of words was written in coagulated blood:

"You are all going to die!"

Is this... really the owner of the demon dog? Is he seeking revenge for the people responsible for the death of his subordinates? He is really bullying the weak and shying away from the strong. Why not go directly to the strong Nighthawks responsible for the elimination operation? Klein's heart tightened, and many thoughts flashed through him in an instant.

But he quickly denied his complaints. It is the most normal choice to start with those who can be dealt with in revenge. Just like when he came to Backlund for several months, he never thought of looking for Ince Zangwill and

The unidentified strong man was chasing Lanrewus.

After looking around again, Klein gradually felt that this matter was a bit confusing:

"Aren't you afraid of being guarded by powerful officials by retaliating in such a flamboyant way? Is this a requirement for him to play magic potion?
