Chapter 552 Corpse Robbery

Because Miss Gothe's hometown is a coastal town in the east of the old continent , is too far from the city of Tobesque. In order to let the client receive the letter as soon as possible, Shade finished writing the letter and took Mia to the Tobesque post office immediately.

The reason why he didn't drop it into the mailbox at the St. Teresa Square street was because he wanted to go to the post office to order some magazines. Shade also wants to improve his quality of life after getting rid of the dilemma of not having enough pockets when he first came to this world.

Because there was nothing to do today, so after Shade sent the letter, he took Mia to the Church of Dawn and listened to Owen bishop's Scripture Lecture with August priest.

I went home after lunch at the church. I was going to borrow the potion workshop of Augustus priest in the afternoon to configure the potion that can change hair color introduced in the second grade course, but didn't 't expect As soon as I walked to the Sainteland square, I saw Iluna standing in front of the door.

She wore a brown coat over the white blouse with lotus leaf cuffs, a simple black skirt, and her usual pair of black leather shoes.

"What happened?"

Shade walked over in a hurry, Iluna shook her head and waved the kraft paper bag in her hand to Shade:

"Detective, do you mind if I take up your afternoon to complete a commission together?"

The seventeen-year-old girl asked.

"What commission?"

Shade asked while taking out the key to open the door. The two walked in together, Mia happily jumped off Shade's shoulder and jumped up the stairs.

"Find a missing body."

Blackstone Security Company can always receive strange tasks from the church, and in addition to the tasks of the church, ordinary citizens entrust them to quests are always filled with all kinds of strange content.

On this Tuesday after Darkness's death, Iluna, who had temporarily escaped from the follow-up events, finally submitted all her reports on "Godcaller and Feilianna", and completed it. A mission to search the area where the Darkness Domain once descended.

On the first day she returned to her workplace, Blackstone Security, she was put in a commission case by Captain.

"I think you've been busy lately. Since you just came back, you can deal with it yourself. There is a two-day deadline. After you've dealt with it, you can use the rest of your time freely."

In other words, this is equivalent to giving Iluna a vacation. This commission has been proven to have nothing to do with mysterious, and Iluna can close it after a little investigation.

"Looking for a body?"

Shade nodded in surprise:

"Of course I can help, but are you sure it's really not about mysterious? ?"

"Our squad has investigated and it has absolutely nothing to do with it."

"That's good, but I have to look at the data first. Speaking of which, why can't this kind of thing be allowed? The police at Dewitch Field? In Delarion, stealing a body is a felony."

"It's because the police can't find it, so it's entrusted to a private security company like us."

In this era, it's not just warlocks who steal corpses. Crazy scientists, doctors who need experimental materials, eccentrics with special hobbies, or ordinary people who seek mysticism will entrust corpse thieves or commit such crimes themselves. .

This kind of thing can even be said to be very common, so the cremation and burial of the body, which was not very popular before, has only become popular in the recent several decades. For example, Sparrow Hamilton, whose body was cremated, is absolutely not worried that someone will open the coffin for an autopsy.

The client who found the body was Mr. Hank Fennell, who lived in the Western District, and the body he was looking for was his wife, Peggy Fennell. Mr. Fennell is a well-known mechanical engineer in the Western District for the golden gear steam engine manufacturing plant.

Half a month ago, his wife died of illness and was buried in Tobesque Public Cemetery, Section 3. A week ago, on the ninth day of the poor woman's burial, cemetery No. 3 encountered tomb robbers, and three bodies were dug up and stole from the grave.

The police at Ridwich Field immediately launched an investigation, but there was no news. Therefore, Mr. Fennell was introduced by a friend and asked Blackstone Security Company to entrust him, hoping to find the trace of his wife's body.

Blackstone Security confirms that this matter has nothing to do with the ring warlocks, because the local ring warlocks will never use locally stolen corpses as materials. The outer ring warlock, because of Darkness, is being closely monitored and investigated by the Orthodox Church. At present, no one has been found to have bought the three corpses from local tomb robbers, so it is determined that they are the ordinary person. The tomb robbery case.

"It looks fine. But I want to make sure, are you sure this is not Mr. Fennell's own case?"

Shade sat on the sofa and looked through Asked with the document, in his hand is the dossier that Iluna got directly from the Ridwich Field.

Maybe this idea is darker, but Shade still wants to rule out a probability first.

"At least in the case materials obtained from Ridwich Field, there is no mention of the client's abnormality. Moreover, if it is really him, the police can't find any clues, shouldn't he be more happy? Why would you entrust us?"

Iluna said, and then holding a reluctant Mia curiously asked:
"When you receive an entrustment, you always doubt yourself for the first time. The client? I thought that detectives always investigate cases without any subjective opinion."

"Where did you get this statement from?"

"The "Hamilton Detective Stories" serialized by Steam Bird Daily."

Iluna said with a smile, and teased Shade again:
"I heard Luvia say that the author is you My friend? Oh, detective, you have to show your detective skills this time.”

After Shade sorted out the materials, he set off with Iluna, first to the public tomb in the east of the city Park, conduct on-site investigations and inquiries.

The third cemetery where the crime happened, Shade visited once two months ago and witnessed the end of a family grievance half a century ago, and even had a fight with a ghost. German card. Returning here two months later, didn't expect is still related to delegation.

The arrival of autumn has brought the temperature to the point where it is necessary to add clothes when going out, and it is still foggy in Tian City today, even in the cemetery in the eastern suburbs.

After getting off the carriage, the two walked along the gravel path to the iron fence gate at the entrance of the cemetery. Shade still holds a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He plans to visit Detective Sparrow, who is sleeping here, and inform the detective that the fifth day of the Harvest Moon is coming, which can be regarded as an explanation for Sparrow Hamilton. .

The seventeen-year-old girl looked at the cemetery that was getting closer, moved closer to Shade without a trace, and said in a low voice:
"I'm not a timid person, but I always I don't like coming to the cemetery."

"Why?"

Shade was curious about this. Iluna was assigned to this diocese after finishing her studies in the Holy See in the first half of this year. Yes, there should be no dead friends in the Tobesque public cemetery.

"I hate death, no, not the fear of death, but the sadness of death."

She whispered to Shade, and the two walked through the door of the cemetery together. , with iron fence gates decorated with iron thorns on both sides to enter the tomb area. I don't know if it's an illusion, but the temperature inside the tomb area is slightly lower than the outside.

"It's normal, and it's normal to infect your emotions because of the sadness of strangers, which shows that you are a person who can easily empathize with others."

Shade commented.

I heard that Shade wanted to visit Sparrow Hamilton, and Iluna was happy to go with him. So the two of them chatted and entered the second tomb area. After placing the bunch of white daisies in front of the tombstone embedded in the ground, Shade sighed and thought of when he first came to this world. .

Passing through the fence gate between the two cemeteries, looking up towards the shrouded mist, it is easy to see the white chapel standing in the center of the cemetery:
"Iluna, Next to the church is the gravekeeper's hut. If we are lucky, we may be able to find the gravekeeper who is chatting with the priest. However, what identity do we use to inquire about the situation?"

"Don't forget , I'm the female police officer Iluna Beas of Ridwich Field."

Iluna reminded, looking through her handbag to find the documents:

"Look, wasn't that the identity I used when I first visited St. Teresa Square?"

On Tuesday afternoon, the priest took a nap in the church, but the two were at the church entrance, I met an old tomb keeper who was carrying a toolbox and humming a tune, preparing to trim trees in the tomb area with his apprentice.

The old tomb guard was wearing a one-piece overalls, and hesitantly stopped when he saw two people walking in the fog. After Iluna took out her certificate and explained her intention, the old gravekeeper looked at Iluna's too young face suspiciously, but slowly gave her help:
"We have nothing here. Clues, it was me who found that the body was stolen, because I have encountered similar things before, so I found someone to notify the police as soon as possible. No one heard the abnormal sound the night before, and we did not find the body to carry the body. ruts, but there are indeed unusual footprints, but they cannot be traced. If you want to find clues, you can go to the tomb that was dug up."

"It has been a week. , hasn't the tomb been reburied?"

Shade asked, the old tomb keeper nodded, glanced at Shade and seemed to recognize the detective who had visited in midsummer:
"After the corpse is found, the corpse has to be reburied, so there is no more burial. It is a newly opened tomb, and there are no other burials nearby, so there is no need to worry about other people protesting."

"Okay."

Iluna wrote down these things with a small notebook, and then asked:

"Is there a high frequency of tomb robbery in this park?"

"Of course not high, this is the third time this year, do you think I'm eating plain rice?" Na also knew she said the wrong thing, sorry laughed.
