"Valila, are you okay?" Klein looked concerned, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Valeera shook her head slightly, "I never told you that I actually have congenital heart disease."
"But I have medicine."
She forced a smile and continued:
"I suddenly got sick last night. I fainted before I could take the medicine."
"Melissa, open the drawer on the left side of the dresser. There should be a tube of potion in it."
The Moretti family looked in the direction of Valila's finger.
There are several small square or round wooden boxes neatly placed on the dressing table, which should be cosmetics and skin care products. There is also an exquisite jewelry box with the lid open. It is empty, even the silk doily has been pulled out.
Melissa handed the water glass to Klein, winked at him, and walked to the dressing table.
Benson pushed from the side and behind, pushing Klein to the head of the bed.
"Valeera, I...I'll feed you some water."
Klein handed over the water glass, his voice and fingers trembling.
This time, Valeera was in no mood to tease Klein any more.
She shook her head slightly again, took the water glass into her hand, and said slightly coldly: "No need, I have regained some strength."
Melissa came to the dresser.
She glanced at the cosmetics and jewelry boxes on the countertop with a bit of curiosity and envy, and saw some other things by the way.
There was a picture in the jewelry box, a picture of a beautiful lady, even prettier than Sister Valeera;
The drawer on the right side of the dresser is half open, and there seems to be a red ribbon and a gray button inside.
Melissa quickly opened the drawer on the left without looking or thinking.
There are quite a lot of things inside, including a small bottle of fragrance, a few bottles of strange potions, a few empty glass bottles... As for the potions for treating illnesses, there is indeed only one liquid in a glass tube that matches Sister Valila's statement.
Picking up the dark brown potion, Melissa closed the drawer and returned to the bed.
"Okay, I'm really fine."
After drinking the potion, Valeela's face looked much better, at least half of the green halo that showed through had faded away.
"You don't have to worry about me anymore. Go to work and school. I'll just take a rest."
"Klein, if the instructor asks, please ask for a leave of absence for me."
The Moretti family felt a lot relieved when they saw the change in Valela's expression. After a few more words of warning, they exited the room one by one.
Soon after, they finished their breakfast and left the house.
Hearing them leave, Valeela endured the pain of her injuries and the sleepiness caused by the "blood-producing potion" and got up to change clothes.
She is going to Backlund.
She wanted to find out what happened after she lost consciousness last night.
She had a feeling that Qili might be in a bad situation.
It didn't take long for her to organize the items she should bring, leave a message, and go out to the steam train station located on the north side of the South District.
…
Blackthorn Security Company, 2nd floor, 36 Zotland Street.
This is the seat of Tingen City's Nighthawks Squadron of the Church of the Night Goddess and the Seventh Group of the Special Operations Department of the National Police Agency. "Blackthorn Security Company" is a camouflaged signboard displayed to the outside world.
8am.
Old Neil, the "Peeper" with gray hair and a classic black robe, came to work on time.
After greeting several colleagues in charge of clerical work, he entered captain Dunn Smith's office.
"You asked me to come here. Did something happen, Dunn?"
He and Dunn Smith have been teammates for more than 15 years. It can be said that they have watched each other rise step by step, and eventually became the "Dream Demon" of Sequence 7, the witness who served as the captain of the Nighthawks team. They are quite familiar with each other and speak to each other. The tone also seemed casual.
"A fatal incident occurred last night."
Captain Dunn, who has a straight nose and a slightly high hairline, sat behind his desk, looked at Old Neil with his deep gray eyes, and continued:
"This is a tip transferred from the Jinwutong District Police Station. Mrs. Sharon, a famous widow from Tingen City, attended a banquet hosted by Councilor Maynard and was brutally murdered in the guest bedroom of his house."
"Inspector Toller, who was in charge of this matter, highly suspected that it was related to supernatural powers, so he submitted it to us."
Old Neil nodded clearly, "So you are going to let me go to the scene and hold a 'channeling' ceremony?"
"That's right." Dunn nodded, "Fly is still investigating the previous home invasion and murder. You are the only one in the team who can 'psychic'."
"I will also go with you to replace Leonard and Luo Yao who rushed to the scene last night."
"Most of the people involved in this case are rich or noble, and the Tingen City Police Department has been under a lot of pressure. Well, combined with my 'dream' inquiry and your 'psychic' results, I think we can Find out the truth quickly.”
"good."
Old Neil smiled and nodded and said:
"Despite my age, I can still accomplish this kind of mission."
"I'll go to the material warehouse to get some hydrosols, essential oils and herbs, then change my clothes, and then we can set off."
He turned around and walked to the door, then turned back and added with a smile, "Haha, I never thought we could work together on another mission, Dunn."
…
About 20 minutes later, Dunn and Old Neil, who had changed into the uniforms of the police system, arrived at Councilor Maynard’s house in Jinwutong District.
On the shoulders of their uniforms are badges with three silver stars on a black and white background.
This shows that both of them are at the level of superintendent.
The police hierarchy in the Kingdom of Loen is divided into police ministers and chief police secretaries at the top. Below them are the directors, deputy directors, and assistant directors of each police department. In the middle are the superintendents and inspectors. At the bottom are the police officers. Chief and Constable.
Of course, Dunn and Old Neil are both senior special experts in their official identities.
"Midnight Poet" Leonard Mitchell and "Sleepless Man" Luo Yao Laiting, wearing two-star inspector costumes, came over to report the general situation.
Afterwards, Dunn and Old Neil split up.
Dunn entered the chess and card room near the stairs on the second floor and asked the police on scene to arrange for the people involved to enter the room one by one for questioning; Old Neil walked into the guest bedroom and closed the door.
After a while, Old Neil frowned and walked out of the room. After thinking for a while, he approached Inspector Toller.
Not long after, Old Neil walked alone into a "restricted area" isolated by the police in the garden.
His channeling ritual in the room failed and Mrs. Sharon's remaining spirit was cleared.
Clearly, this is truly extraordinary.
In order to collect as much information as possible, Old Neil decided to venture to the garden to conduct another psychic ritual, targeting the natural spirits wandering around the house.
…
The investigations on both sides ended, and Dunn and Old Neil reunited.
They synthesized the intelligence and found that the information obtained by both sides was far less detailed than expected.
In addition to confirming the story pieced together by Councilor Maynard and others, all they could determine about the murderer were some extraordinary abilities.
"Invisibility", "Persuasion", "Appearance Changing", "Anti-Divination", "Vampire"...
With so many abilities, the murderer was at least an Extraordinary person, so why did he kill Mrs. Sharon?
Or did he use such a cautious assassination method?
Facing Inspector Toller's expectant gaze, Dunn coughed lightly and said awkwardly:
“There were some gains, but not as much as expected.”
"We need to go back and study it before we can draw a more definite conclusion."
"But one thing can be confirmed. There is nothing wrong with Councilor Maynard's statement. They are all innocent and the murderer is definitely an extraordinary person."
