Chapter 644: Visit

Camus thanked the telegraph operator, picked up the telegram that belonged to him, and unfolded it to browse:

"Louis Berry, Intis, the most famous adventurer in the Fog Sea in the last half year, likes to wear a golden straw hat, hunted the 'Devil Wizard' Bulman, got a bounty of 600,000 gold pounds, and cooperated with the 'Mother Goddess of Earth' Church in Port Santa, solving the crisis of the prayer sea ritual there, specific situation unknown..."

After reading the telegram, Camus muttered silently:

"He really is a great adventurer. No wonder he easily solved that 'serial killer'..."

Camus didn't actually know how powerful the "Devil Wizard" was, but the bounty could explain everything. Being wanted for 600,000 gold pounds was enough to prove the power of the "Devil Wizard," and Louis Berry, who could hunt such a powerful supernatural, was undoubtedly a great adventurer even if he only had such a famous feat.

You know, the Bram who committed multiple murder cases and kept the Patrol Force busy for nearly two weeks only had a bounty of 50,000 gold pounds. This was enough to make Camus feel moved and choose to cooperate with Louis Berry.

After sighing at the bounty of 600,000 gold pounds and understanding why Louis Berry was so generous, Camus put away the telegram and praised the telegraph operator's help with a flamboyant flying kiss.

He rubbed his fluffy brown hair and went down all the way to the lobby.

It was already evening, and he didn't need to be on duty tonight, so he could go home to rest.

Suddenly, Camus's gaze froze, and he saw Louis Berry, who had black hair and green eyes and a handsome appearance, sitting on the sofa in the waiting area of the lobby, playing with the golden straw hat in his hand.

"You, is there anything else?" Camus walked over and asked vigilantly.

Lu Mian stopped turning the straw hat in his hand, straightened his body, and said with a smile:

"There are still some things I want to chat with you about."

After discovering that one of the three shops where he could buy Fermo coffee was on Kania Street, not far from the Patrol Force, Lu Mian's first reaction was:

"Siso" wouldn't be hiding in the Patrol Force, would he? Is he one of the Patrol Force members?

The most dangerous place is the safest place?

After repeated deliberation, Lu Mian thought this was possible, but not particularly great:

On one hand, among the seven supernaturals who were killed, the "God of Death" believers hiding in Port Pylos, the peripheral members of the "Rose School of Thought," and the spies left by the Intis Republic in Matani all paid attention to confidentiality and lived in the state of ordinary people. If "Siso" didn't have enough intelligence sources and only relied on his own collection of information, it would be very difficult to discover that these three people were supernaturals and target them.

This showed that either "Siso" had a way to identify supernaturals and ordinary people—this might be his special ability, or it came from some kind of magical artifact he possessed—or he controlled or could contact a huge intelligence network. And the Patrol Force was the organization that knew the most about the various situations of the entire Matani and the entire Port Pylos. They might have already discovered that the "God of Death" believers, the peripheral members of the "Rose School of Thought," and the Intis spies had problems and were observing them further.

"Siso" being a member of the Patrol Force could well explain why he could accurately find supernaturals with hidden identities and complete the murder.

But on the other hand, if "Siso" was really a supernatural of the "Demon" pathway and joined the Patrol Force, once the serial murder case occurred, the people here would definitely suspect him. Unless he hid his true pathway from the beginning. But it was different in the Patrol Force and the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society." There were too many scenarios in daily execution of tasks that required the use of his own abilities. "Siso" could hide it for a few days or weeks, but he definitely couldn't hide it for months or years.

He couldn't avoid encountering any accidents, and he couldn't prepare for every task, wearing corresponding magical artifacts and only showing this ability.

Even if he was a "Demon," he couldn't!

Because many accidents in tasks were not specifically aimed at anyone, so "Demons" couldn't foresee danger in advance.

With suspicious and uncertain thoughts, Lu Mian specially came to the Patrol Force again to visit Camus to see if he could get new clues and new inspiration to determine or exclude the corresponding possibility.

"What do you want to chat about?" Camus frowned.

This guy wouldn't want to use the bribery this morning as a handle to threaten me, would he?

That case file wasn't any particularly important thing. Even if I lost it, I would only receive a punishment!

Lu Mian put on the golden straw hat, stood up with a smile, pointed outside the door, and said:

"How about going for a cup of coffee?"

Camus deliberated for a moment, his voice low and answered:

"Good."

Lu Mian walked out of the Patrol Force's gate and walked toward the Matani Import and Export Shop.

In the sunset, he saw the Port Pylos Police Headquarters located not far diagonally opposite the Patrol Force at a glance.

There were many people wearing dark blue police uniforms coming in and out, and some were even holding cup-sized coffee in their hands.

This... Lu Mian felt a move in his heart.

"Siso" isn't actually a member of the Patrol Force, but a police officer with a relatively high position in the Police Headquarters?

After reaching a certain rank, police needed to cooperate with official supernaturals to do things and could contact a lot of intelligence. And many investigations by official supernaturals were realized through the police, after all, there weren't that many people.

If "Siso" was really a senior police officer at the Port Pylos Police Headquarters, then he indeed might know that those three people with hidden identities were supernaturals. And when performing tasks daily, there would be no risk of exposing his own pathway, and it would be very convenient to buy the Fermo coffee he loved.

Even thinking about it from the other side, it was precisely because the Matani Import and Export Shop was here and there was a scene of choosing a variety of coffee beans that "Siso" fell in love with drinking pure, bitter, and fragrant Fermo coffee without sugar.

Of course, this was just one possibility. Lu Mian had other speculations. For example, "Siso" was just a person who loved excitement and was confident to the point of arrogance. He specifically went to Kania Street instead of other places to buy Fermo coffee to appreciate the incompetence and anger of the Patrol Force. As for the intelligence of supernaturals, there were other sources. For example, "Siso" was not a supernatural of the "Demon" pathway, just holding a corresponding sealed artifact, thereby mastering the special ritual to please demons. Hiding in the Patrol Force didn't need to disguise at all. For example, I guessed wrong, and the serial murder case four years ago had nothing to do with "Siso."

Thinking of this, Lu Mian suppressed the joy that emerged in his heart, entered the Matani Import and Export Shop with Camus, arrived at the area selling various coffee beans, and found a seat in the attached coffee shop.

"A cup of Highland coffee, with milk, two cubes of sugar." Camus ordered the waiter very familiarly.

Lu Mian also wanted a cup of fragrant Intis coffee.

During the waiting process, Lu Mian observed what kind of coffee or coffee beans the customers coming and going were buying, and asked Camus as if chatting:

"By the name, you are a Feysac person?"

Camus hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully:

"My full name is Don Givil Camus Castilla."

He was willing to report his full name because he thought of the telegram mentioning Louis Berry and the "Mother Goddess of Earth" Church having a good cooperative relationship.

Lu Mian laughed:

"So it's a noble master."

Castilla was the surname of the royal family of the Feysac Kingdom, and the name of Camus also had a "Don" in front, meaning "respected," which represented the status of a noble.

Camus smiled bitterly:

"If I were really a noble master, how could I come to the Patrol Force of a native state in the Southern Continent to be a member?

"Our branch has long since fallen, but I don't deny that this surname and the prefix of Don did give me a starting point higher than ordinary people. I obtained a potion as soon as I became an adult and became a Sequence 9 supernatural, but the subsequent advancement was the result of my own efforts."

Accepting my bribe of 50,000 gold pounds is part of the effort? Lu Mian teased in his heart, cast his gaze toward the two cups of coffee brought by the waiter, and asked as if unintentionally:

"Don't taste other coffee, only drink Highland coffee?"

"Used to its taste." Camus picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Lu Mian took off the golden straw hat on his head, followed by taking a sip, and smiled in agreement:

"Yes, just like I will never get used to Fermo coffee. If you put normal sugar, it's too bitter. If you put too much sugar, it's greasy to the point of being undrinkable. And some people just love the bitterness and aroma of Fermo coffee, and even put only a little bit of sugar."

Lu Mian waited for Camus to say "Yes, some people drink Fermo coffee without even putting sugar," but Camus's answer didn't satisfy his wish:

"That's it.

"What exactly do you want to chat about?"

Lu Mian exhaled and said frankly:

"You should have seen it. I am very interested in the serial murder case four years ago. This is the only purpose of my coming to Port Pylos, a commission with a very high value."

"Very high value? That should just be a 'Serial Killer'." Camus saw that what Louis Berry was discussing was this matter, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if he didn't have eyes, he could see that Louis Berry cared very much about the serial murder case four years ago.

Lu Mian used a vague tone, smiled and explained:

"This case hides many secrets you can't imagine."

For example, transmigrators, for example, that Tianzun...

Camus took another sip of Highland coffee, recalled and said:

"I came to Matani more than five years ago. At that time, the Intis people had just left for not long, and the kingdom and the church's forces had completed preliminary infiltration. I felt there were many opportunities, and I might be able to mix into a prominent position by relying on my surname, so I specially took a boat from the Fog Sea. The result was not quite the same as I thought, but it was considered okay."

Speaking of the past, Camus, who was only twenty-five or twenty-six, was quite sighing.

He continued:

"When the case happened, I was just Sequence 8, and followed Deputy Captain Reyasa with several teammates to investigate this matter."

He stopped and looked at Lu Mian with a smile, as if saying "if you want to know more, you have to show more sincerity."

Lu Mian was thinking about another question at this time:

If "Siso" was indeed a supernatural of the "Demon" pathway and joined the Patrol Force, was there any way to hide his own pathway?

Lu Mian substituted himself and found that hiding the ability of the "Hunter" pathway was really not a problem:

He could deal with most situations just by relying on the characteristics of the "Ascetic" pathway and the assistance of one or two items!

Of course, the ability of the "Ascetic" itself was also worth doubting.

Could it be that "Siso" was also a gifted person, and what he showed daily was the gifted pathway? Lu Mian picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee, didn't pursue the details of the "serial murder case," and looked at Camus thoughtfully:

"Does the Patrol Force have supernaturals who are good at divination or decryption?"
