The style of the bedroom before Kieran's eyes was different from the current one. Although the candles on the wall were gone, they were still there, including the bulky wardrobe that should have been abandoned.
Even without [Tracking], Kieran could tell something was fishy from the abrupt decorations.
He grabbed the candlestick on the wall and slightly pushed it back.
Kak!
Amidst the sound of the spring, the bulky wardrobe opened outwards, revealing a passage that led downwards.
The electric lights in the passageway dispelled the darkness.
Kieran sized up the bedroom once more before heading downwards.
After 40 steps, Kieran entered a brightly lit living room.
Thick fur blankets covered the entire living room. Beside two round tables, there were eight chairs, and on one side of the wall was a row of sofas.
Opposite of the sofas was a bar counter and a cabinet.
There were some food and drinks on the bar counter and many bottles of opened and unopened wine were displayed in the cabinet.
No doubt, this was the gathering place for the mystics.
However, it wasn't what Kieran was looking for.
He was looking for the bedroom of the owner of Mecathy and Borjane Bookstore.
As for the bedroom on the surface?
It was just a cover.
It was impossible for a mystical individual, one that could cast spells, to not have any spellcasting materials, related books, or notes in the bedroom.
Kieran didn't really care about the spellcasting materials.
However, Kieran was eager for the books and notes that might be in the bedroom.
He was dying to know more about the current dungeon world's mystical realm.
It was too much of a waste of time to get the information from others.
Besides, Kieran didn't have that much time to differentiate the real from the fake.
So, he occupied the magpie's nest.
He used a more direct method to get the information he wanted.
For example, the real Marulyn, the Elder Council, etc.
Activating [Tracking] again, Kieran's eyes were looking at the side of the wine cabinet. Through [Tracking], there were too many traces there.
When Kieran pulled on a bottle of wine in the middle of the cabinet, there was another sound of a spring.
Just like the big wardrobe, the wine cabinet in front of him opened up like a door.
Behind the wine cabinet was a spiral staircase.
It wasn't tall. Although there were many stairs, each one of them was very short.
Kieran easily crossed five or six steps at a time. After two steps, he saw the room behind the wine cabinet.
A large laboratory table was filled with all kinds of utensils.
There were modern glass, ancient stone tools, and many wooden tools.
Opposite the laboratory table was a bookshelf leaning against the wall.
The bookshelves were as tall as a person and a half and were divided into ten layers. They were packed to the brim.
Next to the bookshelf was a sofa.
It was very ordinary, no different from the bed.
Obviously, this was a spellcaster's room that was a combination of a bedroom and a laboratory.
Kieran checked the surroundings. After confirming that there were no traps in the room, he quickly walked to the bookshelf. After roughly looking through it, he pulled out a book and carefully read it.
…
It was noon. Under the slightly scorching sun.
Hoskin and Teresa arrived in front of Mecathy and Borjane Bookstore.
The bloody stench had faded away after meticulous cleaning, leaving only a faint detergent smell.
There was a sign hanging on the glass door of the bookstore.
'Temporarily closed!'
Teresa glanced over the sign and took out her phone.
After a while, the glass door of the bookstore was opened from the inside.
"Good afternoon."
Kieran said to the two of them with a smile.
Kieran was in a good mood at the moment.
It wasn't just because he found a reliable record of the current dungeon world's mystical realm, it was also because following Teresa's arrival, the sub-mission related to her, [Slander], had been completed and it granted him an extra 3 days as a reward.
It was 2 more days than the first sub-mission, [Accident].
Kieran was eager to spend more time on his own.
It was already the third day since he entered the dungeon world.
Even though it was already evening when he first entered the dungeon world, the system clearly recorded it as his third day.
The 10 days of searching for the main mission was almost a third of the time, the urgency had already bloomed in Kieran's heart.
Kieran stepped aside and invited Hoskin and Teresa in.
The young man smiled and strode in.
Teresa was a little hesitant but she eventually went in.
Kieran knew what was going on when he saw Teresa's hesitance.
Hoskin's personality made her unable to accept Anne Aldrich Augen clearing her name because in her eyes, Anne Aldrich Augen was also a criminal.
However, she had to regain her chief officer identity before she could continue her investigation.
The conflicting thoughts made Teresa hesitate.
After pulling over two chairs for both of them to sit down, Kieran looked at Teresa and said, "I thought you were going to scold me out loud."
"I really want to do that."
I even wanted to give you a couple of punches!
But the deal between you and Anne Aldrich Augen wasn't your idea alone but the three of us came up with a plan. I can't push all the responsibility to you. "
Teresa said.
"At least you can walk on the streets openly, chief officer!"
Hoskin said beside her.
Hoskin was very satisfied with his current situation.
As for using Anne Aldrich Augen to achieve such a result?
Hoskin didn't mind either.
After all, he had gotten the result he desired the most.
Of course, Hoskin still didn't have a good impression of Anne Aldrich Augen.
If it was possible, Hoskin wouldn't mind throwing Anne Aldrich Augen into jail.
Kieran smiled as he glanced over the young man who played a key role in the three of them coming to a decision. He agreed with Kieran.
"Teresa who can walk on the streets freely is the real Teresa."
"And 2567 who went through the trials and tribulations with you before has a new piece of information for you. Among the five bodies, other than Cymede Augen and Rudder, the other two are Tonita, Cymede Augen's driver cum bodyguard. The other one is an archaeology professor from Yuda State University. It should be easy for you, Teresa, to find out his identity, right?"
"Maybe we can find out who the fifth unknown body is from this professor and piece together what kind of deal that mysterious guy is trying to make with Cymede Augen!"
Kieran said.
As Anne Aldrich Augen provided some valuable information, Kieran nodded.
Kieran reconstructed a new deduction.
Barney the Jackal chose to sell his stolen goods at Winchester House and Cymede Augen knew about it. He even purposely lured Barney into it.
Cymede Augen needed Barney to cover for him.
He wanted the outsiders to think that Kieran was just there to buy some treasures from the museum.
No doubt, Cymede Augen did it perfectly.
Of course, Cymede Augen would never have thought that the treasures from the museum would really contain some special items.
Even more so, he didn't think he would lose his life there.
"I'll go investigate right away!"
Teresa stood up right away when Hoskin mentioned the related case and walked out in a swift and vigorous manner.
"Hoskin, what are you waiting for?
Do you really want me to send you to guard the storeroom? "
Teresa, who was standing at the entrance, couldn't help but shout at the young officer who didn't move at all.
Hoskin stood up with a bitter smile and bid farewell to Kieran before leaving in a hurry with Teresa.
Kieran watched the two of them leave with a smile on his face.
When the car was out of sight, Kieran kept away his smile.
He was looking at the direction of St. Reid Hospital.
Coldness appeared in Kieran's eyes.
No one wanted to be lied to.
