Chapter 66: correct way of reading

Views:

That face was covered with blood and smeared, and the original appearance could not be seen at all.

But the more this is the case, the more frightening it is.

The young Finch was momentarily intimidated.

Jason raised the muzzle of the 'Winchester Brothers', and Bundy on the side was also about to pull the trigger of the revolver.

But at this moment—

bark.

The face stuck on the glass seemed to have been pasted for too long, and began to slide down as if unable to catch it.

Moreover, when it fell to normal, it just turned into smoke and dissipated.

If it weren't for the remaining blood stains on the glass, no one would have believed that there was a face stuck here just now.

Bundy was taken aback.

Subconsciously, the sheriff turned to look at Jason.

Jason walked towards the window instead.

but,

Just took a step.

"Ahhhh!"

"Dead!"

Horrible screams sounded from the street below.

Bondi and Finch turned around and ran downstairs.

Jason didn't act right away, but walked to the window as planned, wagging his nose slightly.

No food... no, no 'mysterious' breath.

"What was that just now?"

Jason stood in front of the window, looking through the glass at the scene downstairs that had been under martial law under Bundy's command.

From his angle, he could clearly see a face down person crawling there.

Jason looked around and up again.

After confirming that there was nothing worthy of attention, he turned and went downstairs.

When Jason walked out of the police dormitory, the crawling corpse had already been turned around, but everyone who saw the face of the corpse gasped.

because…

This corpse has no face!

The opponent's face was completely 'peeled' off, leaving only flesh and blood.

Almost subconsciously, Jason thought of the face that had just been taped to the window.

Bundy and Finch undoubtedly thought of this, and they looked at Jason at the same time.

Jason didn't speak, but squatted down and began to examine the corpse.

Clothes are ragged, not even the texture can be seen.

Without shoes, the feet were covered with mud.

Average build, but strong muscles, should be regular exercise.

There are calluses on the palms and index fingers, which should be left from contact with firearms.

pity…

The most important face is gone.

"Is that face that was pasted on the pane of my window just now his?"

"If so… "

"Why do you want to do this?"

"Deterrence? Warning?"

Jason thought.

But there is no clue.

He couldn't figure out the other party's motives.

Threats and warnings are untenable!

Because, he knew very well that after the previous explosion, those mysterious people who were attracted by the 'Helke Potion' would definitely not use such a simple method to deter and warn them.

As for the local mysterious side of Lord

Even more will not.

Those guys also knew that this kind of method would not scare him, but would cause trouble for themselves.

"How about it?"

Bundy came over and asked in a low voice.

"I have no clue for now."

"Do it your way first."

Jason said truthfully.

He's not one to show off, especially when this could be a matter of life and death.

"Well, leave it to me."

Bondi nodded, and began to arrange manpower to investigate and find the source of the corpse.

Jason returns to 305 and waits for the message.

Leave professional matters to professional people.

Undoubtedly the best choice.

However, after returning to the room, Jason frowned when he saw the blood stains on the window glass.

He wasn't sure if this would be a clue, and of course, he wasn't sure if it would carry the possibility of 'peeping'.

therefore-

Swish!

He drew the curtains.

Then, picking up the spoils collected by Finch and the trade items returned by Tanier, he walked straight out of the room and walked towards 303.

303, Hall's office and bachelor apartment.

At this time, Hall apparently received Bundy's order and was about to leave.

"Borrow your office."

Jason pointed to his room as he spoke.

Hall, who had worked with Jason more than once, understood immediately.

The detective gestured to ask Jason if he wanted to deal with it.

Jason waved his hand.

"clear."

Hall nodded immediately, and then ran downstairs with the door open.

Just as Jason is willing to believe in their profession, they also believe that Jason can handle the incident on the 'mysterious side' well.

As for Jason borrowing the room

There is no problem.

After all, there is nothing shady about a middle-aged single man's dormitory.

Apart from…

The taste is a bit rush, a bit choking.

Jason opened the window and ventilated for a few minutes before walking into 303.

There is no difference in the layout of the 305.

Just one more filing cabinet.

Glancing at the filing cabinet, Jason pulled out his chair and started sorting out the trophies and trade items without touching any files on the desk.

The trade items given by Tanier are well sorted out.

Because, except Jin Ke, it is a common sense book on the 'mysterious side'.

Although the young teacher of the Deer Academy wanted to exchange for some monster corpses, the previous wave of transactions had already wiped out everyone's inventory at this 'gathering'.

Want more

We can only wait for the next time.

Tanier gave a total of 55 gold grams, which was much more than Jason had imagined. Obviously, Tanier's 'trading talent' was at work.

After Jason counted, he put all these gold coins into the money bag.

At this moment, he has a total of 71 gold grams, 12 silver grams and 14 copper grams, without copper horns.

Looking at the bulging money bag, Jason felt a sense of satisfaction.

However, he knew better that Jin Ke in the purse could not keep him safe.

"The money should be able to buy some ingredients."

Jason thought so.

Candidates for acquisition

Does that need to be said

Besides Tanier, who else is more suitable than him

With this in mind, Jason picked up the 'mysterious side' common sense book given by the other party.

Yes, it is given.

According to the other party, such books are very precious to ordinary people, but not worth much to people on the mysterious side, because people on the mysterious side know these things, and everyone cares more about secret arts, rituals, and power systems. everything of.

But it was precious to Jason.

Because, this common sense is exactly what he lacks.

Flipping through the book in his hand.

Jason opened the bag of loot that Finch had collected.

Inside are some weapons and prop fragments.

Although it is broken, a keen person can still find that there is a trace of extraordinary in these fragments.

Before these weapons and props were shattered, they were arcane weapons and props that incorporated 'mysterious materials', and their value was definitely not low.

And now

Jason took out a fragment and put it to his mouth and sipped it lightly.

A hint of deliciousness blooms on the tip of the tongue.

Kind of like escargot.

Well, braised.

Slightly spicy.

Next, turn a page of the book.

Then, take out another fragment and take a sip.

This is like a bovine spinal cord.

It is also braised and tasty.

Also a bit spicy.

Is it because of the 'explosion' process

Jason couldn't help thinking.

Moreover, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jason found that when the taste of food bloomed on the tip of his tongue, his reading speed actually improved considerably.

Is this the correct way for me to read

Jason couldn't help but think this way in his heart, but he temporarily put down the book in his hand.

Because, he had already heard Finch's familiar footsteps.

Boom, boom, boom.

Finch, who obviously knew that Jason had changed rooms, directly knocked on the door of room 303.

"Enter."

Following Jason's voice, Finch opened the door and entered.

As soon as he entered the door, the young man said simply:

"The identity of the body has been found."

"yes… "

"Tick."
