Chapter 48 Investigation
Bureau of Investigation Headquarters.
Leaving the experimental site of the Royal Institute of Engineering, Sigmun came to the Bureau of Investigation for the first time as the CEO. Almost all the staff expressed great curiosity about his arrival, but taking into account Sigmun's identity, everyone kept respectful while hiding their emotions in their hearts.
When they entered the conference room, Charlotte and others were all present, and there was a thick stack of documents in front of each person.
"Let's get started." Sigmun went straight to the point.
"Alic and I searched for most of the extraordinary files established by the Bureau of Investigation, and we got a lot of discoveries unexpectedly." Ruben spoke first.
Naturally, there is no computer search in this world. Normally, files should be recorded on paper, but there are always some extraordinary means at the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation to do something that can only be done by technology, so Ruben and Alic have obtained the information they want in a very short time.
"Generally speaking, when an ordinary person enters the state of extraordinary enlightenment, or enters certain special areas and comes into contact with some taboos, he will show a certain degree of manic state. Therefore, during the investigation, we focus on those extraordinary events where blood plays a major role."
Ruben showed the documents in his hand to Sigmun.
In early spring, the snow had just melted, and a traveler disappeared unexpectedly in a village in Bolin, Ronto. Later, the commercial mutual aid organization he joined sent people to search, but there was no news. Because it was located in a remote place and the economic situation was not good, there was no exclusive police station in the town.
After the incident, a nearby team of Mounties received orders to investigate. At first they only regarded this as an ordinary animal attack.
After all, the winter in the northern province of Ronto is relatively cold, and the large beasts on the mountain do not get the necessary food and occasionally sneak into the farmland and break into the households.
But something strange happened. The pair of Mounties who went to investigate never came back after leaving. The police chief in charge quickly realized something was wrong and reported the matter to the nearest demon hunter team.
Leaded by a third-level demon hunter, a team of five extraordinary people entered the town, and they were attacked the night they entered the town.
The attack on them was the villagers living there. Some of the villagers' bodies undergo unknown changes, are irritable, extremely photophobic, and have an irresistible desire for raw flesh and blood.
After the changes at night, these villagers were powerful and quick to move. Although it was not difficult to deal with it alone, they appeared in groups, coupled with the ordinary people mixed in it, and then three teams of demon hunters were transferred from nearby to completely kill the mutated villagers.
However, the subsequent investigation did not find the reason for the villagers' mutation.
Ruben explained the whole incident clearly and quickly introduced to Sigmon the entire incident. The information he provided was also very comprehensive. The team of Demon Hunters responsible for the investigation recorded a large number of confessions and even left a few precious photos.
"It's really suspicious." Sigmun nodded.
"And it's not an isolated case," Ruben continued, "in the same year, in the cold northern areas and remote mountainous forests, four or five similar incidents occurred, some of which were big and small, and some seemed to have been resolved, but the investigation of the cause was somewhat far-fetched."
"Henrik, you should also know that because of the uncertainty of extraordinary events, we can only speculate through experience in most cases the real cause of things, and we cannot guarantee 100% correctness."
"So some of the answers I determined back then now seem to be full of doubts."
"And this, time is closer now, probably 5 years ago, when things happened in a relatively warm place in the south."
A wealthy businessman who lost a lot of money killed his wife after drinking. This was originally a manslaughter, but later something happened, which attracted the attention of the Bureau of Investigation and included the incident in an internal archive.
Relying on local influence and financial support, the wealthy businessman successfully avoided legal sanctions and soon married his second wife.
Their married life was very happy and everything went on normally. His wife even got pregnant soon, but strangely, in the second year, when his wife was about to give birth.
In a similar season, one day, after drinking, the wealthy businessman killed his second wife in bed for some reason, and also killed their soon-to-be-born children.
After the incident, although the wealthy businessman escaped the legal sanctions again, he died two consecutive wives, so he had to leave the local area even if he was worried about the impact.
A year later, the storm subsided, and he returned to the city where he lived and brought back another woman, but unexpectedly, after a banquet, the tragedy began again.
But this time, not one was killed, but a total of five!
Although he did not escape sanctions this time, the investigation into this strange incident was terminated here.
Listening to Ruben's words, Sigmun looked through the documents in his hand and then noticed one of the common points in the three incidents.
"Wine?" he asked with his head raised.
"Yes, he drank the same wine in three incidents. This Xiangmang wine is made of a local fruit. Because of its special taste, it has the best drinking experience in a specific season of the year, so it is very popular in the local area."
"Although many people drink it, the wealthy businessman should have bought one of the more special ones," Ruben replied. "But unfortunately, the demon hunters in charge of the work in the original investigation did not notice this. They only regarded it as an ordinary random event."
"Is there any?" Sigmun asked.
"There are many." Ruben showed Sigmun one by one the documents in his hand. "The time, place, and crowd are uncertain, the randomness is too strong, and the internal rules cannot be found at all, and it is not completely limited to the aristocratic class."
"There should be some coincidences," Sigmun said, but also put forward another view, "Can they be doing some kind of experiment?"
"In improving the final product? After all, we don't know what functions the blood will have under the transformation of the church."
Ruben's eyes lit up, and then nodded with agreement, "It's true that this is possible! There are too many cases here, Alic and I set out immediately, act separately, and re-investigate all the incidents as much as possible."
The issues involved in this matter are too critical. Even though the Demon Hunter Team and the Bureau of Investigation were created by Duke Dressel, not everyone is trustworthy.
In order to avoid leaking the news, Ruben and others could only try their best to put down other tasks and do their best to investigate the thirsty person.
Several people carefully discussed, planned the specific action route, and set the time for the dream communication. Then Charlotte also took out a document.
"Look at this."
