Chapter 9 Cases and Strange Acquaintances

The viewing angle of the black and white photos is a bit tilted, and the photographer is like squatting behind a wall to shoot. Donald turns the photo and adjusts to a normal viewing angle.

Under a new moon, a monster with a height of two meters was standing on the stairs next to the river, with both hands... It should be said that the strange claws clamped someone in mid-air. During the shooting, it was just the state of the liquid flowing down from the human feet.

Donald carefully observed every detail in the photo. He had seen too many specious rumors in his previous life, such as the water monster in a certain pool, the savages in a certain frame, and those who discovered that people were serious and difficult to tell whether they were true or false.

So is there any technology to fake photos in this era?

On the premise that there are indeed demons, is it natural that these monsters exist?

"In 1808, several floating corpses appeared in the urban river channel of Puston, North Hackshire. The causes of deaths were all caused by excessive blood loss caused by physical breakage. It was rumored that monsters were injured. The case caused extremely bad social impact. The Puston City Police Department was ordered to solve the case within five days."

Sherlock appeared behind her, and the sudden sound of the sound shocked Donald, who was focused, and after showing his existence, Sherlock continued:

"Three days later, the case was solved. The murderer was a group of thugs. They looked for targets next to the city river channel, beat the target to death with iron rods, hammers and other weapons. Then they threw it into the river, pretending to kill monsters, trying to blur the public's vision."

"Then this photo?"

"This is a photo I got from a special channel. I heard that the clearest photo was bought and collected by a rich man. There is no doubt about the authenticity. The monsters in the photo do exist. As for the external remarks, it is just that the government does not want the people to come into contact with such things."

Take the photo from Donald's hand and stuff it back into the file bag. He picked up a file bag next to it and pointed to a paragraph above:

"The deceased case on the roof of the shed was found in the attic of an abandoned house. All the doors and windows of the house were locked tightly. Only a skylight on the top was open, with a five-meter-high mud wall, without any traces of tool clinging. How did the murderer drag the three dead to the roof of the shed and then dismembered the corpse on the roof?"

From beginning to end, Donald stood by the table and watched Sherlock pick up and put down the documents. There were nearly ten cases in total. The scattered information on this table was actually special cases. No case in his description was not surprising. It was either the method of committing the crime was beyond human capacity or some special traces found during the case investigation were confusing.

"So are there any re-offending of these cases?"

"Well? Shouldn't you ask why I'm so full that I'm collecting these case information? These are all conclusive cases, and the earliest ones were from more than ten years ago."

Looking at Donald with interest, this assistant seemed to have a different focus from ordinary people, which aroused Sherlock's curiosity.

"You should collect information on these special cases to prove the existence of monsters like this in this photo. If the police station just uses excuses to prevent the case and these monsters do exist, there is no reason why they will not continue to commit the crime."

Donald thought Sherlock was dissatisfied with the police department's perfunctory attitude and continued to talk about it according to the principle that the boss is God.

"You underestimate the police station in Puston City that also has the special forces to protect the city. They are far more powerful than ordinary people think. These cases are covered up the truth after they are resolved."

"Then you still..."

"What are you doing to collect these case information? This is a secret, and I will not answer you."

Smack your lips, what else can Donald say, as long as the boss is happy.

Holding the desk with one hand, Sherlock handed over the contract between the two parties, and Donald had no idea of ​​asking questions. He was not interested in these so-called supernatural special cases. After all, what was happening to him was more serious than these things that had already ended.

If you are unable to protect yourself, you will have no time to care about others.

The contract simply lists the work content and salary issues. What is more important is the three precautions at the end of the contract.

1. No entry into the second floor area without the permission of the employer.

2. No information in the firm may be disclosed to others (including the employer's family) without the permission of the employer.

3. During work outside, the employer's instructions are used as the first code of action and any private action is prohibited.

"If you have no objection, then sign it below and start work tomorrow. Declare in advance that this contract is entirely voluntary. I will give you a weekly salary of 1 gold pound, so that the work you do is in line with this price."

"What if there is a work content that exceeds this one gold pound?"

He pointed to the file bag on the table next to him. In Donald's eyes, Sherlock, a private detective, was somewhat unemployed. He always felt that he would be involved in some strange events because of Sherlock's love for this type of special cases in the future.

“Add money.”

With a simple and effective answer, Donald signed his name on the contract without hesitation.

It’s great to have money!

"I'll leave first, see you tomorrow morning."

After signing the contract, Donald couldn't wait to leave, and he still had a lot to do.

"Please, now is your rest time. Remember to close the door when you go out."

Sherlock sat cross-legged on the sofa on the roadside, lifted his chin slightly, placed his hands on his knees and closed his eyes, and stopped communicating with Donald.

It was only 12 o'clock when Donald found a restaurant on Gesang Street, ordered a noodles, and reached out to get the book wrapped in parchment in a cloth bag. When he was about to pull it out, he put it back and took out a newspaper from June 13.

Things that were valued by the predecessors who had joined the cult at that time were even rewarded with a summoning array. It would not be normal no matter how you think about it. Therefore, the standard that Donald looked for in the newspaper was very simple: robbery, theft, the kidnapping...

It's always right to find bad things.

However, what Donald did not expect was that he underestimated the crime rate in this era. On June 13 alone, there were three theft cases recorded in the newspaper, including one of the injured. In addition, there were even a robbery and murder case in the east district of the city. However, after careful examination, it was found that the deceased died two days ago, so it should be unrelated to Donald.

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack. There are so many reports in the newspaper. What if the actions were secret enough at that time, or if the incident was not reported due to other reasons?"

When he really started to do it, Donald realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

It is too difficult to figure out what was done at that time based on an important thing in the diary and a vague date.

Lunch was placed on the table, a simple plate of noodles with just some powder and sauce.

The next second at the entrance, Donald began to miss the white rice and the shredded pork noodle soup he had left, and he didn't know if there was such a thing in this era.

The light at the table dimmed and someone sat in the seat in front of him. Donald remembered that the dining tables around him were all empty when he came in. He looked up and saw an acquaintance.

"Donald, did your ceremony succeed?"

The visitor couldn't wait to ask about the situation of the demon subduing ceremony. He knew that Donald had prepared this magic circle some time ago.

"Ronan, what about you? Have you succeeded?"

That's right, the person in front of me is the person who introduced Donald to the cult, Ronan!

He appeared in his dream before, but now he looks extremely haggard. His deep bags of eyes and pus on his face prove that he may have not had a real rest for a while.

With a simple observation, Donald did not immediately answer his words, which was to win time to think.

"I...I haven't tried it yet, you know, it's sad that something happened to Roy some time ago. He can't bear the gift of God. It's a pity..."

According to the content of the dream, Ronan mentioned the reward at that time, and his predecessor received the magic subduing array. If nothing unexpected happens, Ronan also obtained this ritual array. It has not started for a long time, but he just wanted to wait for others to try out the results first.

This Roy is probably one of the losers, please write down this name.

"I succeeded, you can try it with confidence, after all, I have been preparing for so long, right?"

Donald put down the iron fork in his hand and kept the noodles stained with sauce away from his nose. He wanted to confirm something that the stinky smell he smelled came from Ronan.

Like myself before, the person in front of me is also preparing for the devil-subduing ceremony.

Did he really succeed? The demon submission rituals in the sewer do not seem to be a form of receiving some kind of gift, but Donald cannot say that he has failed because he is still alive and alive intact. There are only two possible situations: either he has not performed the demon submission rituals, or he has succeeded.

Only by telling Ronan that he has succeeded will he reveal some key information. Just like we like to ask some experienced people for professional questions, not that we don’t know, but that we just want to gain confidence from other people’s experiences. This kind of matter that concerns wealth and life, Ronan hopes that someone can give him advice.

"You succeeded? What abilities have you gained? Please tell me, I've been driven crazy these days. The four of us, Roy and Jos, were unable to withstand God's gifts. Logically, I shouldn't have tried this again, but I can't help it. The rewards we took so long and hard to get... In fact, if I hadn't passed by this restaurant and saw you today, I would have to go and fight in a few days."

When Ronan heard that Donald succeeded, he could not hide his envy and yearning in his eyes.
