"So why didn't you try to contact the Su Yalan Office in the first place? This demon acted so purposefully, it stands to reason that those detectives would have played a greater role, right?"
The carriage became Lorenzo's temporary office. He and Joey sat in it. The foldable table was piled with information about the dead.
"There are many reasons. Our Purge Agency has a special investigation team, but this is the first time we have encountered a rational demon. The reason for not using the Su Yalan Office is simple. The crime scenes are still eroded by demons, and ordinary people will be affected."
Joey said slowly, the most bizarre thing in the fight against demons is the crazy corrosiveness, just like a foreign monk whispering in your ear until he drives you crazy.
Most of the people who can accept demon incidents have undergone training, and can keep their minds calm even when facing the weirdness. The higher-level ones are specialized knights like Joey, who are the ones who can truly look demons in the face.
It is absurd and disgusting, beyond the comprehension and comprehension of mortals.
Lorenzo picked up the document. The cold wind of the old Dunling rushed in through the gaps in the carriage. He flipped through it casually. Based on the identities and status of the dead, a fragmented story was pieced together in Lorenzo's mind.
The first victim was Luo Wei, a man in his forties who came from a city outside of Old Dunling. Like many people who came to Old Dunling to work, he initially had a good job in a factory, but was later fired for drinking at work. He eventually fell into the downtown area and became a gang member, not a core figure, just an ordinary member.
He was found dead in his own home, having suffered great torture before his death. The murderer left bloody words of revenge in his house. That was the first time that the Purge Agency detected the demon's actions. Because of the residual erosion, the Geiger index in the house remained high.
This was the cause of the incident and the first target of the demon's revenge.
Lorenzo pondered that in fact, a lot of hidden information could be inferred from the first death, just like when Lorenzo had investigated some things. The first person must have known something, and the demon found the location of the rest from his mouth.
The second deceased was named Duolun, who was about the same age as Luo Wei. According to the documents, they were good friends from the same hometown. They came to Jiudunling together to work hard. He worked in a shop and visited Luo Wei several times after Luo Wei lost his job.
The cause of death was basically the same. He was found dead at home and was the second person to be avenged by the demon.
As Lorenzo guessed, the demon only knew the location of Rowe when he first took revenge. During the torture, he found the locations of the others and then took revenge one by one. Rowe and Duolun were also connected, they were from the same hometown, so the demon was likely to be their fellow villager as well.
"They're from...Berhans."
Seeing the last page of the document, Lorenzo was a little surprised. The hometown of these two people turned out to be Berhans, the largest industrial city in Inglvig, where the famous Berhans Military Factory was located.
But this made Lorenzo think of another doubt. It was an extremely large industrial city. There should be no shortage of jobs and opportunities to make wealth. So why did these two people come all the way to Jiudunling
