When Ozma saw the jar, he excitedly bid 3000w. Then the whole group was confused. Upon closer inspection, the first one was the Eye of Terror (2 pieces), and the jar was the second one.
Regret filled my mind. Just when I thought I was going to become the emperor of heaven, someone offered a higher price than me.
Chapter 24 Tattoo
The eternal night passed.
At the end of the seventh day, at dawn on Monday, the first ray of sunlight broke out from the sky, slightly illuminating the girl's face.
Still wearing her long dress, she leaned on the table with her hands and knees, trying to discern what was happening outside through the window and low bushes.
The lights were on in the room. On the table lay a book called "A Complete Guide to Daily Writing Grammar in Sarai" and a notebook filled with practice characters. Further away was a bottle of ink and a pen.
"Is the doctor here?"
"I've been here before."
"How's it going?"
"It was very bad. All six people were killed in one blow. Except for the inspector, there was no one left alive."
"What's his name?"
"Ethan...Ethan Doyle."
"Ethan?... It's amazing that he was able to subdue that monster single-handedly."
"Yes, all the team members are talking about him."
"But you said six people...but I just saw nine stretchers?"
"The six stretchers in front are definitely bodies. I don't know what happened to the other three. Ethan Doyle and Sheriff Rand are guarding there. No one is allowed to go over and check. They are not even allowed to get close to the stretchers."
"But I saw several people enter the house just now, including a beautiful woman..."
"Shh...!"
"You idiot, that's not a beautiful woman..."
The sound of somewhat noisy discussions drifted from the bushes and iron fence in the front yard to the second floor. It was a little blurry and intermittent, but the general meaning could still be understood.
Hitzfeld's mind was now filled with thoughts of her beloved gun.
After everything was over, she was chased back by Ethan. She climbed up the second floor to her room on his shoulders without disturbing the lady, and she really had to thank him for that.
He promised to keep the matter confidential. Hitzfeld actually didn't believe that he would hide his own affairs when giving a report, but for her, it was enough as long as she could keep it secret from her wife.
She probably didn't show any special abilities during the adventure, so she wasn't afraid of Ethan reporting it.
But the Madam was different. If the Madam really regarded her as Anna...even if she was just a substitute, she would be very sad if she went out on an adventure with the Shadow Lions without saying hello.
After all, that’s how Anna died.
"They said that the bullet from this gun killed him, so they used the gun to fool their superiors..."
While eagerly looking towards the yard next to her, the girl recalled Ethan's words.
"This should be enough for me, right?"
"I'm going to be supervised in practice later... He'd better send it to me quickly."
At the same time, a team of police officers once again entered the Weir family's home.
A group of people searched and rummaged through the house, repeating what they had done a few days ago.
At the stairs to the second floor, Sheriff Rand leaned on the handrail and looked at the paintings on the wall, looking a little depressed.
He was kicked out of the room.
It's not nice, but there's nothing I can do. I can only try to find some joy in the midst of adversity, thinking that it's pretty relaxing not to have to worry about anything.
There were three simple stretchers in the room, covered with cloth, one of which was slightly collapsed.
"This is it?"
Xia Yibing walked into the house wearing high-heeled boots and a brown wool coat, pointing at the collapsed stretcher and asked.
Ethan and the other two followed behind, and immediately nodded when they heard this: "That's it."
With a "swish", the woman lifted the white cloth, revealing a long windbreaker, a shirt underneath, a pair of pants and a pair of shoes.
The reason for describing it this way is that they are spliced together. It is as if there is an invisible person wearing them to keep them intact.
He moved his chin, and one of the two people besides Ethan immediately stepped forward to check. After a while, he raised his head and said, "It's rotten blood and corpse fluid."
"It gets stuck inside the clothing, soaks it up and hardens over time, which is why they remain like this."
"Take a blood sample."
she ordered.
"I'm doing it."
He nodded, walked to the other side, and uncovered the other two stretchers.
Harvey Weir's horrific corpse and a thin mummy were suddenly revealed, and the smell of blood and decay in the room became several times stronger.
Xia Yibing seemed unaffected. She carefully examined the two bodies, looking at Harvey's severed head and the hole between the corpse's eyebrows.
His eyes fell on the mummy's head.
There lay a silver Prang pistol, with all six removed rounds of ammunition and four shell casings.
"Ethan."
Picking up the gun and taking a look at it, she raised her eyebrows, "You're not trying to tell me that this ordinary brass bullet can kill a corpse doll?"
"impossible."
The bespectacled man next to Ethan clenched his fist and coughed softly, "Only silver bullets can deal with evil spirits... Every student will be taught this knowledge in the first lesson."
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Ethan gave him a sidelong glance. "She just aimed the gun like that—and fired—and the thing fell down."
"If you quit, you can definitely find a job in the circus."
Seeing Ethan half-crouching there, using his right index finger and thumb to imitate the "shooting" action vividly, the man with glasses twitched his mouth.
"Oh? Is that so?"
With a smile on his lips, Xia Yibing picked up the gun again, disassembled it into a pile of parts at an extremely fast speed, and then reassembled it at an extremely fast speed.
"A regular Plank," she commented. "Probably made between 1960 and 1964, a style invented by Deco-Plank during the Great Patriotic War... it's considered an antique today."
“This gun is well maintained, but I don’t believe she can do it.
He led Team 17 to track down the "nightmare man" for so long, and had a head-on encounter with it before. The information they obtained was that this thing had the characteristics of all evil spirits - it could freely travel between the dream world and reality. And it was faster and more arbitrary than other monsters.
This makes it almost immune to conventional physical attacks, and only specially treated bullets - the kind that can penetrate the dream world - can harm it.
And now her deputy captain told her: An ordinary 16 or 7-year-old girl shot it to death with an ordinary Prang rifle and ordinary brass bullets.
How can she believe it?
"I think there must be something unusual about her."
Ethan moved his lips.
"There are many mysteries surrounding her... I heard that she was a noble lady who lost her memory and was picked up by her madam, but I have investigated the matter these days and found that she is not the real one!"
"You said her name was Hitzfeld?"
Xia Yibing suddenly asked.
"Yes, Hitzfeld—Esun Hitzfeld."
"So this is a surname. That's strange. I seem to have heard this word somewhere before."
"...Do you have any impression?"
She looked at the other three men.
Everyone shook their heads.
"It looks like I have to go back to headquarters or stay in the library for a few days."
Shaking her head, Xia Yibing decided not to think about it anymore.
"Until I get to the bottom of this, Ethan."
"Ok?"
"You need to keep her steady and build a good relationship with her. It would be best if you can gain her trust."
“I think we’re halfway there.”
Ethan smiled bitterly.
"But if you trust her...she's very wary."
"That's your business."
The woman smiled happily and shook her long hair.
"Mu Ke, come here and take care of these two bodies too."
"As you command, dear captain."
Leaving Mu Ke and the man with glasses studying the corpse inside, Ethan and her came to the aisle.
"This cannot be taken lightly."
She instructed, "We killed the corpse doll, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they have more or more evil sacrificial plans."
"Are you sure?" Ethan took out a pipe and played with it in his hand.
"Everything about the Eclipse Church is in line with the standards of the Sun. Since the church is located in the Sun City, there must be an Eclipse district leader in the Sun City."
"But that's just your guess."
"No, it's a woman's intuition."
"Then why can't men have intuition?"
"Men do, right? It's just that men usually use their intuition for other things."
"for example……"
"Use a retractable magic wand to test the other person's sexiness."
“…” Ethan found that nothing he said was appropriate.
Can he apply for a new captain?
She almost killed all his beautiful imaginations of "female detective".
"Before, they didn't show up and we couldn't catch them at all... Now they've made a comeback, we must not let this opportunity go."
Xia Yibing was still muttering to herself.
"We must catch them. It would be best if we can uproot the roots of the Eclipse from this city!"
"team leader."
Mu Ke's voice came from inside.
"I think you should take a look at this."
"What are you looking at?"
When they went back in, they saw Mu Ke and the man with glasses squatting beside the corpse, focusing on lifting up its left arm.
"Look at this, there's a tattoo here."
"It's the tattoo of the Silver Wolf Gang."
Xia Yibing nodded and glanced at Harvey's body beside her.
He also has a wolf head tattoo on his left arm.
"This body was created through possession and drugs. It's good to retain some of the original features..."
"It's not that."
Mu Ke interrupted her, sounding a little uneasy.
