When they heard there was a mission, Zheng Wen and Wu Shana's eyes lit up.
Seeing the two of them looking very motivated, Xu Le smiled. Being motivated is a good thing.
Joining the Night Watch is not just a game. The job of the Night Watch is very dangerous and you have to face monsters all the time.
I hope their next performance will be as strong as their enthusiasm.
Equipped with a gun, a uniform, and a knife, when everything was ready, Wang Shu suddenly walked out.
"Xu Le, we have been given a car. Can you drive it?"
"Uh..." Xu Le was speechless for a moment.
Both he and the original owner are essentially poor otakus, and driving is basically out of their reach for them.
But fortunately, no one will, Wu Shana said at this time:
"I will. Let me do it."
Xu Le nodded. Fortunately, his brothers came forward to protect his dignity as the team leader.
"Very good, this is the kind of useful companion we need."
After saying that, Xu Le glanced at Zheng Wen.
"Girls all know how to drive and volunteered to do so, but you don't know how to drive and you didn't say anything. This is a big problem. You should learn from this in the future."
Zheng Wen scratched his head. It was normal not to know how to drive.
And I don’t know if you can do it.
However, he didn't dare to refute Xu Le and could only nod.
"I see."
Holding the case report, the three men boarded the old steam car allocated by the branch.
On the way, Xu Le took a quick look at the report. Cases in the upper city were basically handled by the headquarters.
So this incident was, unsurprisingly, a downtown case.
However, the fact that the Night Watchman was able to come forward also indirectly shows that this matter is unusual.
Suddenly, an eyeball appeared on the glass behind Xu Le.
It also appeared in Xu Le's perception.
With this feeling of being watched, Xu Le knew that Gu Jianuo had started observing him again.
"Does this woman have a voyeurism fetish?"
Although he complained in his heart, Xu Le immediately picked up the file and began to explain the case to the two newcomers.
The first is to give a real explanation, and the second is to demonstrate one's abilities and value in front of Gu Jianuo.
“Although we haven’t yet investigated the scene, we can already know some of the circumstances from the report submitted by the guards.
The crime scene was in a villa area close to the river bank, which is already a very good environment.
People in downtown areas are generally not very wealthy, so the owner of this case should be a wealthy family."
Listening to Xu Le's analysis, the two newcomers nodded.
Zheng Wen continued to look at the information in the report.
"Four servants died? All the blood was drained? No clues were found? What else can be learned from this?"
“This family is very wealthy.”
"ah?"
"Four servants... If they weren't a top-tier wealthy family, how could they have four servants?"
"so."
When the three of them arrived at the scene of the crime, Xu Le finally understood what the guard meant when he said the crime was not that simple.
The whole villa was gloomy, but it was morning and the sun was shining brightly.
The gloomy and sunny environment of the villa in front of me created a strong contrast, which was very abnormal.
After ringing the doorbell a few times, a woman dressed as a maid came out soon.
She was wearing a pink and white dress, her short hair had a hairpin, and she didn't know if she was wearing white stockings or not. She was very cute, but also had a hint of hidden temptation.
Xu Le had seen many maid costumes in his previous life, each with its own unique style, which made Xu Le linger and yearn for them.
However, those maids are just fantasies from TV and anime, they are not real enough, but the maid in front of me is real.
Perhaps a real maid looks like this.
The life of rich people is so simple and unpretentious!
Xu Le's eyes moved away from the maid's thighs and began to look at her:
"Hello, we are members of the 6th team of the Night Watch in Area B. We are here to investigate the homicide case here."
"Master of the Night Watch, you are finally here. If you don't come, I won't be able to stay in this house any longer."
Home? This name...
It doesn't seem right for a servant to say this, right
Xu Le looked at the maid again.
Well, maybe he was overthinking it.
As Xu Le nodded, Gu Yin's multi-perspective view swept over the beautiful maid in front of him.
How can one not be proud
There was some fear energy, but not much, at least not as panicked as she showed.
A maid was able to maintain a stable state of mental energy after facing the consecutive death of four people in her master's house, all of whom were maids. This can no longer be described as having a big heart.
Normally, after four people died in succession, even if she didn't run away, her fear energy should have reached a very high level.
Is there something wrong with this woman
Everyone walked into the villa. The owners were a couple, about 40 years old.
After seeing Xu Le and the others, the landlord's wife hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
"Masters of the Night's Watch, you are finally here."
"Please be patient. We will handle your situation. Please trust our ability."
After Xu Le said this, the hostess's expression calmed down a little, and her mental energy also tended to slowly decrease.
From this perspective, the mental energy level of the hostess in front of him is more realistic.
"Please briefly explain the situation in your family. When did the first death begin?"
"It was 12 days ago."
"Has it been delayed from 12 days ago to now?"
“We reported the case on the same day, but the security investigation has not made any progress, so it has been delayed until now.
During this period, one person died at noon every three days. By the ninth day, four people had died.
Today is already the 12th day, and the guards really can't find any clues to solve the case, so I'm bothering you."
"Okay, we get it, ma'am, don't get too excited."
The hostess was a little excited, and Xu Le quickly made a downward gesture, signaling her to calm down.
"Sorry, it's my problem."
Xu Le then looked at the male host who had remained silent, and asked:
"Sir, you are the owner of this place, right? Do you have anything to add to us?"
"I... No, I just hope you can solve the case as soon as possible."
The homeowner's performance was also a bit dull, but his emotions did fluctuate, but not greatly.
Xu Le glanced at the landlord and his wife, then glanced at the beautiful maid. He had already begun to imagine the plot between these three people.
"Two or Three Things About the Landlord and the Beautiful Maid", "I Want to Drive the Mistress Away", "The Story of the Beautiful Maid's Promotion", "The Maid Killing Case"
The plot that Xu Le imagined was probably about the maid trying to drive the heroine away and become the new mistress...
But is the real case as simple as he imagined
Xu Le felt that the feeling of being watched had not disappeared.
Gu Jianuo is still peeping! Haha.
"Every time a case occurs, it happens at noon every three days, right? There are no other times?"
"Yes, this happens every three days, every time at 12 noon, no other time.
Mr. Night Watchman, it is already past 11 o'clock. Can you solve the case before 12 o'clock?"
"No one can guarantee this. After all, I just got here."
"Then... thank you for your help."
"Okay, I get it. I can look around. We'll be back before 12 o'clock."
"sure."
After Xu Le nodded, he waved to his two subordinates, and Zheng Wen and Wu Shana immediately followed.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"Boss? That's a good title. Tell me what you think."
Both of them listened to the conversation between Xu Le and several members of the other family. In this situation, they should give the newlyweds some opportunities to make some judgments on their own.
Xu Le remembered that Bai Jing often let him do things on his own.
Zheng Wen and Wu Shana looked at each other, and finally Zheng Wen made a gesture for you to go first, and Wu Shana followed suit and spoke.
“I think there’s something wrong with that maid. Even though she said she was scared, her attitude was too calm.
Under normal circumstances, if someone dies in the employer's family, she should have some emotional fluctuations, and the hostess's behavior is normal.
Another detail is that after we arrived here, the maid and the master were always communicating with each other through eye contact.
I think there are serious problems between them, and it is very likely that the owner of the house is having an affair with the maid. "
Xu Le nodded, then looked at Zheng Wen beside him.
"I thought so, but I didn't notice the communication between the maid and the man."
"I didn't notice it either. I was always looking at the hostess." Xu Le spread his hands.
In terms of attentiveness, Wu Shana seems to be more careful than him and Zheng Wen.
"Actually, my thoughts are similar to yours."
"If you think so, why don't you arrest the maid?"
"If the case is really that simple, do you think the guards can't handle it
The report said that they were unable to find out the cause of the servant's death, so they submitted it to us.
How could an ordinary human maid resist a warrior-level guard? One of the maids died in front of the guards. It was not that simple.
The maid showed a slight abnormality, perhaps it was the real murderer who led us to induce us."
Xu Le’s words stunned the two of them.
"The real murderer? Who is it?"
"Isn't this currently under investigation?"
As Xu Le spoke, he came to the master's room, the maid's room, and the mistress's room.
The rooms looked a bit messy, as if someone had rummaged through them.
Xu Le stood in front of the dressing table in the hostess's room, picked up a few medicine bottles on it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This is a mental energy neutralizer..."
"Maybe she's been too scared lately, so she ate it?"
Xu Le pondered for a while, and suddenly, he said to his two subordinates:
"Oh no, get down."
"What's wrong?"
“Someone’s going to die.”
"Um?"
Xu Le jumped directly down from the stairs on the second floor. Wu Shana and Zheng Wen, the two warriors, naturally did the same thing.
As soon as they went downstairs, they saw the maid kneeling on the ground with her hands covering her neck and her face purple.
Without saying a word, Xu Le took out a handful of strange ashes and scattered them into the air in front of him.
He can actually see ghost species directly.
But for the purpose of teaching, and also to perform it for Gu Jianuo, I still added this action that a normal night watchman would do.
Then he pulled out his cane, and the handle turned a circle in Xu Le's hand, turning into a black double-barreled gun.
Bang!
The psychic bullets were sprayed directly at the ghost's face. This level 1 ghost body could not withstand Xu Le's spray at all.
He was beaten so hard that his soul was scared out of his body.
"No!" The hostess yelled, she took out a pistol from the drawer and was about to kill Xu Le.
Wu Shana and Zheng Wen in the distance immediately drew their guns and prepared to shoot.
But as students who had just graduated from school, they couldn't fire the shot no matter what.
Bang!
A gunshot was heard and the bullet pierced through Xu Le's body.
The electric current just flashed by, as if it passed through the air.
"Why aren't you afraid of bullets? Go to hell!"
Bang bang bang!
At this time, the female landlord had gone completely crazy. She raised her pistol and fired several shots at Xu Le.
Her mental energy has completely exceeded the warning line.
Xu Le shook his head slightly and pointed the gun at her.
Bang!
Xu Le controlled the psychic power of the black gun, so this shot only made a hole in the female landlord's chest.
It won't be the kind that gets blown up with one shot and no body left.
After killing the man, Xu Le walked expressionlessly to the stunned male owner and the maid who had not yet recovered from the shock, and briefly explained the circumstances of the case.
"It's written on the file that your name is Zhou Qiming, right? Mr. Zhou, at this point, the homicide case in your family should have been solved.
The murderer is the ghost monster that I have killed. Don't worry too much, it's just a level 1 monster.
It should be caused by some kind of obsession and resentment. There are not many ancient sounds and energies here, and the environment is also very beautiful.
Plus, your wife is dead, so it shouldn’t appear again.”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Xu Le's words.
"Uh... Got it."
The man lowered his head. He didn't dare to provoke Xu Le, the fierce man.
"Zheng Wen, notify the guards to come and deal with the scene. We will leave after the guards arrive."
"Oh, yes."
After the guards arrived at the villa, Xu Le and the others left naturally. There was not much conversation or investigation throughout the process.
This time, the guards had been unable to complete a task for a long time, but Xu Le completed it in just 20 minutes.
Sitting in the car, Zheng Wen and Wu Shana didn't speak or drive.
Wu Shana lit a cigarette for herself, and Xu Le could see her nervousness from her trembling fingers.
Xu Le didn't say much. He got out of the car, went to the small shop across the street, bought some ice water for the two of them, and handed it to them.
"First time seeing someone killed?"
The two nodded.
"Drink some water, are you feeling better?"
"Senior, I'm sorry." Wu Shana lowered her head.
"Boss, I didn't do it well either."
Xu Le knew that the two men were talking about the fact that they did not fire the gun just now.
That's true.
If it were someone else, such as another level 1 warlock, if they had no means of defense, they would have been killed by the female landlord just now.
However, such situations are actually rare, and normal warlocks will have the protection of warriors.
The configuration is 2+1.
Moreover, warlocks rarely act as aggressively as Xu Le. If Xu Le did not have many defensive measures, he would move forward slowly and eliminate the threats bit by bit.
“You two really didn’t do very well. Although this was your first mission, your reaction and judgment were terrible.
Let’s take what happened today as a lesson. I hope that next time I encounter a similar situation, I can shoot without hesitation.
If you fail to react quickly, your teammates will be hurt or even killed."
"knew."
"By the way, Senior, how did you know that there was something wrong with the mistress?"
Facing Wu Shana's question, Xu Le smiled. He could feel that Gu Jianuo was still monitoring him. It was just right that he should show more of his strength in front of the monitor.
"You noticed that the maid and the master were having an affair, which was actually a correct judgment.
But you can't just pay attention to those. As a night watchman, you should have a broader vision. "
Unconsciously, Xu Le used the words that Bai Jing once said to him.
"A wider field of vision?"
"Well, if we look at the contents of the file, we can know that the male master was not having a tryst with this maid, but with all the maids.
The servants who died in the files were all maids, aged between 20 and 26 years old. One of the descriptions was that they had pretty faces.
You only noticed the ambiguous look between the male master and the maid, but you didn't see that the female master was also looking at the male master, but her eyes were full of hatred."
"Then what's with their weird anima? They're too calm."
"Psychic energy neutralizer. There is a psychotropic neutralizer in the hostess's room."
"Then she might have eaten it herself."
“If she had taken the Heart Energy Neutralizer, her Heart Energy wouldn’t be that high. The appearance of that ghost species should be due to the mistress.
It is even possible that she has some relationship with the mistress, so she wanted revenge after I killed that ghost species."
"I see."
Gu Jianuo, who was spying on Xu Le, couldn't help but applaud after hearing these layers of analysis.
She might have also thought about whether it was worth spending such a huge price to recruit a level 1 warlock like Xu Le.
But her thoughts now had turned into complete affirmation.
This kind of talent with quick thinking and high judgment is itself of extremely high value.
Xu Le looked at the two newcomers in front of him with admiration and smiled, narrowing his eyes.
Is the case just now really as he described
Not at all.
As a Red Moon Warlock who possessed the power of Ancient Sound's Multi-Vision, he actually noticed some strange traces as soon as he entered the room.
Everything that was done just now was to give the two newcomers a proper teaching.
And just make himself look powerful in Gu Jianuo's eyes.
Only by making Gu Jianuo recognize his own value will he have a chance to lure Gu Jianuo into his trap and thus turn defeat into victory.
"Okay, let's go back."
"yes."
…
After finishing a day's work and returning home, Xu Le could still feel the sense of being watched.
Xu Le wondered, doesn't this guy Gu Jianuo have to go to work
Just watching him like this for the whole day? Aren't you tired
Xu Le began to think of ways to induce further.
In addition to investigating the cause of Bai Jing's death, his purpose was that the medicine bottle he found before was actually a prop that could be used.
But if you want to start with the medicine bottle, you need a reasonable reason.
For example, push-ups.
So, under Gu Jianuo's supervision, Xu Le once again forced himself to do 100 push-ups.
During this period, Gu Jianuo's surveillance was interrupted once, for about 40 minutes.
Xu Le guessed that she was either going to eat or take a shower, but then she started again.
Just watched him complete the exercise.
At this point, Xu Le knew that his chance had come.
He took out the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, placed it in front of himself, and showed hesitation.
"In order to become stronger..."
Xu Le murmured something, but Gu Jianuo, who was spying, sat up directly. Seeing Xu Le take out the pills, she was even a little nervous.
"Asshole, you can't take that medicine, stop!"
At this moment, Gu Jianuo wanted to rush to Xu Le and stop him, but fortunately Xu Le's fingers gradually dropped.
This made Gu Jianuo feel a little relieved.
But she still felt doubtful.
Xu Le, this guy, did 100 push-ups before, but now he wants to take medicine.
Why would a warlock always want to improve his physical fitness
While hesitating, Gu Jianuo had already made a decision.
"No, I have to go find Xu Le tomorrow... At least I can't let him take the wrong medicine."
