When Aili arrived at the scene of the crime, it was already surrounded by a police cordon. The police were searching everywhere. Nangong Nayue, who was wearing a black Gothic suit, was standing inside the cordon, looking at the scene in front of her.
"This is the third case this month."
Aili whispered to Nangong Nayue with a broom. Nangong Nayue nodded solemnly.
"That's right. How troublesome."
"What about the surveillance?"
"It's been destroyed. The other party is obviously very cautious."
"That's why I said, wouldn't it be better if we use my method?"
Aili pursed her lips. Nangong Nayue also raised her head and glanced at her.
"You mean that magic version of surveillance? The higher-ups won't agree so easily. "
"I know. It's just a pity."
Aili was naturally referring to the magic "Omniscience" she invented in the Harry Potter world. It was a magic version of surveillance with 360 degrees of vision without any blind spots. In fact, after the first case, she had already made this suggestion, but the higher-ups had never approved it. After all, this was not the Hogwarts in Harry Potter. In modern society, people always liked to be serious about things like personal privacy. Besides, Ailee was the fourth True Ancestor, so people were afraid that there might be some dark secrets hidden in this magic ….
"What's the result of the autopsy?"
"One hit kill. There was basically no resistance."
"So the other party is very strong, and they must have a way to restrain the power of the Nephilim...."
After all, Fangzheng had worked as a consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department in the Detective Conan world, so he was naturally familiar with criminal investigations. There wouldn't be any problems with Aili.
"Let me take a look at the investigation report."
"Here."
Nangong Nayue handed the investigation report to Aili. The latter picked it up and browsed through it.
"So the Nephilim victims this time are also gangsters with criminal records.... What is this, a modern version of Jack the Ripper?"
If he wanted to summarize the cases, he had to go through an investigation. The reason why these three cases were grouped together was because of the characteristics of the investigation — — All the victims were notorious criminals of the demon race. Of course, strictly speaking, they were not particularly dangerous criminals. After all, there were two demon attack masters on Xuan Shen Island, the Spatial Witch and the Silver Witch. Most of those dangerous criminals who didn't care about their lives had already been dealt with.
The victims of these three incidents were basically those who had criminal records of petty theft and hooligan crimes. So, judging from the current situation, it was basically certain that the other party had deliberately lured these guys to attack and then killed them.
"The higher-ups are considering whether to impose a curfew, but they're worried that it'll cause a commotion and chaos if things get out of hand …"
"The only thing we can do now is to strengthen the patrols."
Allie jumped off the broom and walked around the crime scene. Then she frowned.
"It's almost a one-hit kill. It's a one-sided overwhelming advantage. What can we gain even if we kill this kind of trash?"
"Do you have any ideas?"
Nangong Nayue looked at Aili. The latter shook her head.
"That's the crime scene, but I want to see the corpse."
"To be honest, as a teacher, I don't think bringing a student to see a corpse is the right choice."
"What are you talking about, little Nayue, I'm a demon attack master."
Facing the Gothic loli's reproachful gaze, the smile on Aili's face didn't change in the slightest. The two stared at each other for a moment, then Nayue sighed as though she had given up.
"Fine, you'll still go even if I stop you …. Anyway, be careful, although I don't think you'll encounter any danger with your strength."
As her voice faded, Nayue disappeared into thin air. As a Spatial Witch, her ability to manipulate space was top-notch. That's right, it was like ….
"Granny Violet?"
Allie looked around, then called out in a low voice.
No response.
That's right, even if they were all manipulating space, not everyone would be as crazy as a certain old woman.
At present, the police outside the crime scene had already returned to their station. The records had been completed, and the investigation had also concluded. The remaining troublesome matters would be left to the demon attack masters to handle. After all, this wasn't the first time Allie had cooperated with them. They were familiar with each other and had long established a relationship of trust.
"Ah, here you are! I've finally found you, Senior!! "
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Allie then saw a black shadow jumping from the roof and landing in front of her.
"Really, Senior, you're really hard to find!"
"Shelley?"
Looking at Ji Zhuo Xue Cai, Aili was a little surprised, and the latter nodded.
"Yeah, I'm Senior's eunuch …. partner. Naturally, I have to work together with Senior. But Senior, you ran away without saying a word. It took me a long time to find you."
She was about to say surveillance, right? This child was really honest.
Hearing Shelley's reply, Allie smiled faintly. But soon, she looked at the girl in front of her with a puzzled expression.
"But why did you run out dressed like this?"
It wasn't surprising that Allie would have such a question. Shelley was currently drenched from head to toe. Her hair was also stained with water. Her white uniform stuck so tightly to her skin that one could even see what was underneath.
"I-I didn't have a choice."
Shelley blushed when she noticed Allie's gaze. She hurriedly covered her chest with her hands.
"Because I noticed Senior going out when I was taking a bath, so I hurriedly followed you …. that …. so …."
"No matter what, you should tidy yourself up first. It'll be troublesome if you catch a cold."
Gazing at the flustered and bashful Shelley, Aili let out a sigh. She extended her hand, picked up the magic wand, and tapped it on Shelley's head. Shortly after, a scorching, warm airflow rose from the ground and enveloped Shelley. After a few moments, Shelley's drenched clothes and hair were dried completely. She widened her eyes in astonishment as she gazed at her body.
"This is …."
"Sometimes, magic is more convenient."
Allie retracted her magic wand and looked at Shelley.
"Well then, Shelley, you go back first. I still have work to do …."
However, Shelley clenched her fists and shook her head forcefully in response to Allie's words.
"No, please let me go with you, Senior. I'm also a Magic Striker. I'll definitely be able to help!"
"This has nothing to do with whether you're a Magic Striker or not …."
Although Allie really wanted to refuse, she sighed when she saw the determination in Shelley's eyes.
"Are you sure you want to come with me? I'll tell you in advance that what happens next is going to be very exciting. You might not be able to handle it. "
"I-I'll be fine."
Shelley felt a little nervous when she heard Allie's words. Although she didn't know what Allie was going to do, the more Shelley didn't want her to go, the more she wanted to go. After all, she still had the mission of monitoring the Fourth True Ancestor!
"Please let me go with you!"
"Alright."
Allie thought for a moment and nodded.
Because there were two of them, Allie didn't use a broom to send her off. Instead, they hitched a ride to a funeral parlor in the northern part of String God Island. It was already late at night. The whole road was pitch black and there was no one in sight. Shelley felt a little nervous when she saw the pitch-black building in front of her.
"Funeral parlor."
"Huh?"
Xue Cai was taken aback by Ailey's answer. But before she could say anything, Ailey had already arrived at the entrance. After exchanging a few words with the security guard, Ailey took out her Mage Attacker license. After the security guard verified it, he nodded and opened the door. Ailey then walked in. Shelley hesitated for a moment, but she hurriedly followed after her.
"What are we here for?"
"To investigate the victims and see if we can find any clues …. You should have seen the news, right? There have been a series of Demon murders in the past few days. The victims were all thugs with criminal records, including tenacious races like Vampires and Orcs, but they were all killed in an extremely short period of time. In order to investigate the situation and gather some clues, I'm here to take a look at their corpses …. Are you alright with that?"
Allie looked at Shelley again. Although the latter's face was pale, she still forced herself to pull herself together.
"No, I'm fine, Senpai! I'm a true Magic Striker, a Sword Magus of the Lion King Corps. I won't be afraid! "
"I hope so. Of course, if you can't take it anymore, you can leave."
Allie looked at Shelley and retracted her gaze. Indeed, a Magic Striker who was good at fighting would definitely have a higher tolerance for corpses. But the problem was that dissecting a corpse wasn't as simple as simply killing the target. Even Nangong Nayue wasn't willing to look at this and would rather find an excuse to run away. Allie didn't have high hopes for this rookie Sword Magus' reaction.
"Welcome, little Allie."
When the two of them arrived at the basement, a female doctor in a white coat welcomed them with a smile. Shelley took a step back in fright when she saw her appearance — not only because of the doctor's thin face as if she had stayed up all night, but also because of the blood stains on her white coat.
She looked like a murderer who dissected corpses.
"Long time no see, Miss Haruta."
Allie nodded as a greeting. The latter curiously looked at Shelley behind Allie.
"Who's this child?"
"My assistant … I think you already know why I'm here."
"Of course. Follow me."
The female forensic doctor snapped her fingers and brought the two of them to an autopsy room. On the metal bed in front of them was a corpse covered by a white cloth. The female forensic doctor strode over and pulled the white cloth away.
"Eek —!!!"
Shelley screamed when she saw the corpse under the white cloth. It wasn't because of the terrible state of the corpse, but because the corpse in front of them was a naked man. To Shelley, this was much more shocking than the corpse itself.
Allie didn't care about this at all. She directly approached the corpse's chest.
"This is the fatal wound, right?"
"That's right.
There's only one spot. The opponent attacked very quickly and killed him in one hit. "
"How strange …"
"Is that so?"
"Of course, it's because the deceased is a vampire. It's not that easy to kill an immortal vampire. Needless to say, a vampire's vitality is tenacious, and they also have the ability to atomize. Even if it's a sneak attack, it's difficult to achieve the effect of killing them in one blow."
Staring at the corpse in front of her, Allie's doubts didn't decrease. Instead, they increased.
She put on a pair of plastic gloves and stretched out her hand.
"Miss Haruta, please bring me a scalpel. I want to see the situation inside."
"Okay."
Hearing Allie's words, the female forensic doctor handed her a scalpel. Allie took the scalpel and pierced it into the corpse's chest. Then, she slowly spread it downwards. She then stretched out her hand and peeled off the skin and muscles on the surface of the corpse, revealing the bones and internal organs inside.
Shelley's face was pale, and her body was swaying.
"Did you find anything?"
"I did find something."
Allie fiddled around in the corpse's body for a while before taking out a heart.
"Look, its heart has shrunk. Not only that, but its internal organs are also showing signs of shrunk rapidly. There are signs of dissolving in the muscles … "
"So?"
"This is a sign of rapid loss of magic power, so I suspect that the murderer used some method to absorb or remove its magic power in a short period of time. That's why it lost its ability to attack and was killed …."
"Wah!!"
Just as Allie put the heart on the tray next to her, Shelley finally couldn't help but cover her mouth. She turned around and rushed out.
