In a banquet, the exit of individual people is not conspicuous, even if it is the host of the banquet.
It was not until 11 o'clock in the night when some guests were preparing to go home and Councilor Maynard did not show up to see them off that a few people felt that something was abnormal.
"He might be working too hard, haha."
In a similar vein of banter, the guests kindly ignored Councilor Maynard's minor faux pas and rode home.
Some of the guests left in the hall were still eating, drinking and having fun.
They were going to stay the night.
Although the master did not show up, it was not the first time such a banquet was held at Senator Maynard's house. The servants could serve the guests well as long as they followed the old rules.
The first person to regain consciousness was the woman who was hidden behind the bushes in the garden.
Near midnight she woke up and ran hastily into the house to inform the guests in the hall as well as the housekeeper and servants.
Not long after, before the guests could reach a unified opinion, Councilor Maynard woke up.
After a brief exchange, Councilor Maynard sent his servant to the police station to call the police.
At this time, no one knew the seriousness of the matter.
In the time between the departure of the servants and the arrival of the police, Councilor Maynard mobilized the guests and servants to conduct a general inspection of the numerous rooms upstairs.
This investigation revealed the problem.
A woman pushed open the dark red wooden door of the guest bedroom and saw a snow-white body lying quietly on the bed, as well as a large dazzling dark red blood stain.
"ah!!!"
The woman who only took one look screamed out in shock, without even trying to identify who the deceased was.
Soon, Councilor Maynard and some guests arrived.
They discovered——
The deceased was Mrs. Sharon.
She died naked on the bed, her clothes intact beside the bed.
This scene is quite ambiguous, and it is easy to think of a man who got away from Mrs. Sharon after having fun and killed her ruthlessly.
The gentlemen present all secretly regretted that a generation of beauty had passed away like this.
Congressman Maynard had the heaviest heart.
Being knocked unconscious for no apparent reason was infuriating enough, but it turned out that was just the trigger. The real bomb was that his favorite bedmate died naked in the guest bedroom of his house.
The Tingen City Police Department is located in Jinwutong District, not too far from Councilor Maynard's home.
Not long after, the police department's exclusive carriage with the coat of arms of "crossed swords and surrounded by a crown" arrived carrying an inspector and two police officers.
At this time, Councilor Maynard had already put together a rough idea of what happened.
The murderer knocked out Ms. Bush, disguised herself as her and tricked him into the guest bedroom and knocked her unconscious. Then, disguised as himself, he tricked Mrs. Sharon into the guest bedroom and brutally murdered her.
Maybe before killing this pretty widow,...
Inspector Toller, who has a beer belly and is tall but not intimidating, has rich experience in handling cases.
As soon as he arrived at the scene, he found that the situation was far more serious than imagined, so he immediately sent one of the police officers back to call for reinforcements.
He then listened to Councilor Maynard piece together what had happened.
If fate happens, as an inspector, of course he will not just listen to one side of the story.
Even if he is a very prestigious congressman, that won't work.
However, this does not mean that he will ignore the opinions of Senator Maynard and others.
According to them, the murderer can quickly disguise his identity, which makes the situation a bit more mysterious.
Inspector Toler highly suspects that this case is related to supernatural powers.
Therefore, before reinforcements from the National Police Agency arrived, he asked another police officer to go to the second floor of 36 Zotland Street and notify the so-called Seventh Team of the Special Operations Department of the National Police Agency, which is the Nighthawks Squad.
Inspector Toler also asked everyone in Senator Maynard's house, including servants and guests, to gather in the hall on the first floor and watch each other.
As for himself, he stayed in the corridor outside the murder room, watching the murder scene and the people involved downstairs at the same time.
This may involve considerable risks, but due to his duty, he has no choice.
Fortunately, reinforcements will arrive soon.
…
After taking longer than when she came, Valeela returned to No. 6 Daffodil Street at about 10:30 at night.
After confirming that no one had broken into the room, she quickly packed her belongings.
In just a few minutes, Valeera transformed from the assassin image she had just now into the lovable and pretty female college student.
She took out a tube of "blood-producing potion" that had been cooked in advance from the drawer and drank it in one gulp.
Warmth melted in his stomach, and waves of tiredness also surged up.
Valeela lay down on the bed, preparing to take a short nap and recover before Qili initiated the next contact.
"The charm of 'joy' is really amazing..."
"Performing to that level, if I hadn't been promoted to a 'witch', I really don't know if the thing that stabbed Mrs. Sharon's body would have been a knife or something else..."
After a few distracting thoughts, Valeera used meditation techniques to directly enter a deep sleep.
…
At twelve o'clock at night, Valeela's heart began to throb again.
Valeela, who had repeatedly hinted to her before going to bed, woke up quickly.
Although she only slept for more than an hour, except that her face was still slightly pale, her condition had actually recovered a lot.
It's a pity that her status will be seriously damaged again... At present, her "Stealing Appearance" ability can only store one mask, which means that before she can connect with Qili, she has to use "Flesh Magic" to adjust her appearance. in image.
All she could do was give it a try, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Valeera's eyes.
She spreads her fragrance and raises a "spiritual wall" in the room, sealing off the inside and outside.
Then, she put on the "Bottom Line" pocket watch, flipped the folding knife in her hand, cut open the palm of her left hand again, and planted the "blood-thirsty tongue" on it.
Valeera adjusted her appearance and switched the mask stored in "Stealing Appearance" back to her male image.
Then, she restored the adjusted appearance and pulled off the "blood-thirsty tongue".
The negative effects of this magical item were too strong for her to use for a long time.
After a few operations, Valeela's face turned pale and blue again. If it weren't for the "bottom line" pocket watch to keep her brain active, she might have become drowsy.
Fortunately, most of her spirituality has been restored. As long as she wears the mask of "stealing appearance", there will be no flaws in her appearance.
After getting ready, Valila took out a small piece of communication paste and applied it to the dressing mirror.
Soon, Qili's figure appeared in the darkened mirror.
"Lily, I was at a banquet before and couldn't get away. I'm sorry."
Valeela first explained and expressed her apology, and then asked: "Did something happen that made you contact me in such a hurry?"
Across the mirror, Qili looked at Valeera carefully.
