Chapter 105: Investigator (300-subscription bonus chapter)

Glamorgan District.

The white marble building had been stained a dim yellow by the washing of time, but this had not in the slightest diminished the majesty of the structure.

It was the location of the Green Forest City Police Station headquarters, and because it was situated in the Glamorgan District, it was also known as 'Glamorgan Field'!

At the main entrance, there were two police officers in black uniforms standing guard.

A glance inside revealed a large number of police officers, some walking briskly, some holding folders, others escorting prisoners, all converging into a busy stream of people.

A police officer who looked to be in his twenties, wearing shoulder straps and having azure eyes and high cheekbones, held a file and walked through the long corridor, arriving at the depths of the police station.

After opening a side door's hidden door, he entered an underground passage and walked for a while, seemingly arriving beside Glamorgan Field.

"The preliminary judgment of the entire case is that the manservant Jack harbored resentment after being fired, was seduced by that hidden 'Pupa' Extraordinary, stepped into the gate of the Mysterious, and used the Benjamin family to hold a Ritual, while simultaneously taking revenge... He had the bad luck to encounter a robber who was also a Mysterious, skilled with a rapier, and was killed on the spot... That robber gentleman looted all the cash in the house and left, while also pointing out the burial place of Mrs. Benjamin..."

Sinderson lit a cigarette and asked calmly.

Although he had gained nearly a hundred pounds last time, it was soon spent at the gathering.

The legacy of an Extraordinary was certainly not small, and furthermore, it was more suitable for trading at the gathering.

Percy Anias took a deep breath.

Sinderson Kappler shook his head and said: "You can secretly investigate the identity of that robber, but you cannot disturb too many people of noble status... Our main energy must still be placed on Jack's mysterious mentor! A manservant would not become an Extraordinary for no reason! There must be someone behind him!"

"Yes..."

"I also investigated the manservant's background; he was a local, had an alcoholic father, was kicked out of the house when he was very young, was addicted to gambling and streetwalkers, and thus owed a large sum of money, later being fired for stealing his master's property..."

"That piece of human skin is not easy to sell; perhaps next time I can try to sell the Secret Transmission of the *Song of the Worker Insect*? But according to what Clark said, this kind of Secret Transmission trade is hard to succeed at once because the authenticity is uncertain."

Furthermore, if things go wrong, there are still many social obligations with neighbors to deal with this month, and all of these cost money!

"If I'm pushed to the limit, I'll go rob a gang..."

He paused, his expression becoming resolute: "I think we can seek the help of a Diviner! In a case like this where there are certain clues but a large amount of investigation is needed, a Diviner can point out the direction for us, saving a large amount of manpower and material resources!"

Golden Rose Street.

The azure-eyed Percy Anias gave a start, as if he had heard the screams of countless evil cultists and Wild Beyonders behind the door.

The road forked from here, with a downward passage blocked by a door filled with various Magic signs and Mysterious Talismans, with people in black uniforms guarding it nearby.

"Half a month... It just so happens to be the Node where I am on the verge of promotion; I can go and purchase the necessary materials, but these all require money!"

He walked toward another bend, went up the stairs, and arrived in a Mysterious building.

Accompanied by a low voice, he pulled open the room door and saw his superior—Sinderson Kappler!

The other party was in his forties, had a high hairline, and possessed a pair of Mysterious light purple eyes.

Aaron, at home, carefully counted his wallet and let out a sigh: "Short on money..."

Sinderson stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and smiled: "Percy... do you know how noble the status of a Diviner who can accurately divine is? Those are big shots; there aren't even a few in the entire Invis, and the only one loyal to the Investigation Bureau is in our capital—the headquarters in Plymouth, receiving a large number of assistance requests from all over every day... This kind of request report that is not too urgent and not too high in danger level will be rejected once submitted."

"Currently, my pockets are empty, with only 33 pounds and 5 Shillings left... I can barely make it through this month; by next month, I might not even be able to pay Sylvia's weekly salary..."

He looked at the sky outside, changed into a white shirt, paired with black trousers and a black vest... preparing to go out to watch an opera.

"Hehe..."

Percy said excitedly, while looking at his superior's expression, he hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean you."

Percy found an office with ease and knocked on the door.

Especially that Secret Transmission, it could absolutely be used for divination!

"At the moment of death, he encountered a cruel skinning Ritual, which can be judged as the work of a 'Pupa' Extraordinary, with the essence level between the Second Layer and the Third Layer."

Percy opened the file in his hand: "According to the coroner's report from Glamorgan Field, we confirmed the identity of the corpse buried in the garden at 19 Qiaode District; it is indeed Mr. Hark Benjamin! His time of death, judged by the degree of decay, was around April..."

Aaron pondered.

According to what Clark Das said, such gatherings were basically held once every half month, and when they started, a secret sign would be left on the wall at a fixed location.

Because he had to maintain the decency of a person of the upper class, some expenses simply could not be saved.

Although he did not have many clues, they were very critical.

"That robber gentleman used a disguise and kept his face covered; Mrs. Benjamin even seemed to have some subtle gratitude toward him, and her initial testimony was somewhat evasive. I used a 'Deep Sleep Potion' on her, only then did she finally reveal that although the robber gentleman was masked the whole time, he had a pair of purple eyes... As long as we investigate one by one..."

Even though he was considered the youngest and most promising investigator in Green Forest City, he was still very helpless in many matters.

"Or perhaps... continue to investigate Jack's mentor based on the clues found last time?"

Compared to a robber, a murderer was naturally more eye-catching.

"Come in!"

"There aren't many people with purple eyes in Green Forest City, but there aren't few either, and most of them have not-so-low status... This kind of investigation is very difficult to carry out."

"And during the period from when Jack was fired until this April, he lived a wandering life, changed several jobs one after another, and was kicked out by landlords many times because he couldn't pay the rent; he even lived in a church poorhouse... He came into contact with too many people, making it very difficult to investigate."

Percy answered with a bitter smile.

It was a famous existence throughout Invis, the branch of the Investigation Bureau in Green Forest City that was secretly cursed by countless Wild Beyonders.

"Is there progress on the Benjamin case?"

Then, incidentally, dine at a high-end restaurant that was said to have a master chef and specialized in South Innis-style meals, continue to watch a circus performance in the afternoon, or stroll through shopping malls and exhibitions.

No way... the life of a rich person is just this boring and dull.
