157 auction houses
In early autumn, Oclaire was already feeling a little cooler.
Downey and Lawrence quickly made the decision to find the person who had taken the artifact first, and then talk about anything else.
It's just that the man is very careful, and it is probably a little difficult to find him out.
But there must be loopholes, and after Lawrence watches a boring show on TV and eats two plates of cheese and meat strips, Downey finally finds the problem in three pieces of information.
Since the police officers found out that they had made a wrong move after being reminded, they are now quite cooperative with Downey and Lawrence, and the few documents sent over are even the original versions, not copied later.
These include a list of the antiquities sold by the auction house that night and the signatures of the buyers, the signatures of the 'family' who took Tabor's relics from the police station, and the contract signed between the auction house and the Tabor family.
Finally, there are sketches of people posing as Tabor's family, which of course are of little use, because the person in the portrait appears to be Tabor's son-in-law, most likely disguised.
But Downey found a problem with several signatures, and the signature of Kus Tarr, also known as Tabor's son-in-law, was somewhat similar to that of a person who seemed unrelated to the matter.
Everyone's handwriting is different, and most people ignore or can't make out handwriting problems, but Downey is clearly not one of them.
This signature is close to the handwriting of the owner of Davis' auction house, Steidel Davis.
Downey had learned that Tarber had been a regular at Davis' auction house when he was still alive.
So it's likely that they've known each other for a long time, and it's possible that Davis did know what Tabor had in his hands.
"Don't eat it!" Downey patted Lawrence and told him what he had found.
"So what are you waiting for?" Lawrence jumped out of bed, wiped his dirty hands on his clothes, and put the silver rune pistol he had in his hand into the space curiosity.
Donnie is a little skeptical now, this guy can really teach himself how to hunt demons?
Despite this suspicion in his heart, Donnie followed Lawrence outside.
Davis's auction house is on Third Avenue in Orclaire, and now it is almost dark, as the owner and sole auctioneer of this small auction house, Davis should be in the auction house, ready for tonight's auction.
Considering that the guy should have been alert, Lawrence did not drive the conspicuous impala outside the auction house, but stopped in an inconspicuous place on the street corner.
The scale of Davis's auction house is very small, and most of the people who participate in the auction are regulars, if the person who stared at Downey and the two of them before is really Davis, then Donnie and Lawrence will undoubtedly fall into Davis's eyes, even if they sneak into the auction house, they will be discovered.
In that case, it is better to go directly to the door and see what tricks Davis is playing.
If he only attacked Tabor out of greed and took away the benefits that didn't belong to him, Donnie planned to take him down directly, and if he could get skill points for it, it would not be a waste of time.
At this moment, the lights were already on in Davis's auction house, and before the auction began, a small banquet was going on.
Naturally, those who can participate in the auction are people with small wealth, and the real rich often do not appear on this occasion.
Donnie and Lawrence soon made their way to the door of the auction house, only to find it closed, and only the sound of conversation and laughter could be heard.
Lawrence took a step forward and pushed the door open, only to find that something was wrong.
This classical-looking wooden door was not pushed open for some reason, not only did it not open it, but it did not even move in the slightest.
"Something is wrong, this door won't open, let's see if there are any other entrances!" After a few attempts, Lawrence said loudly.
Lawrence had enough strength, but he still couldn't open the door.
It didn't have much to do with his strength, at least not enough for Lawrence to break the door sealed by his supernatural power with one blow.
As a result, Lawrence and Downey had to look for other ways to get into the auction house.
Now that there is a very obvious problem at Davis Auction House, the Donnies don't need to continue to hide.
Not far from the door is the window facing the street, which looks very clean and can clearly see the situation inside, but in Donnie's opinion now, the scene inside the glass is not real.
Not only is the image fake, but the laughter coming through the door is also not real.
A layer of fog enveloped the ordinary-looking auction house, and Donnie's psychic powers could not penetrate it to get a glimpse of what was going on inside.
But it wouldn't be too good to think about, otherwise it wouldn't have bothered to keep Donnie and them out.
Lawrence quickly lost patience in the face of this situation, and directly took out the silver rune pistol, and pulled the trigger before aiming it at the unshatterable glass.
It turns out that even if you use extraordinary power to reinforce it, you can't make ordinary glass stop the bullet.
Of course, this also has something to do with the unusual gun in Lawrence's hand and the strength of the person who unleashes his extraordinary powers.
In short, after the closure of the auction house was broken, the real side suddenly appeared.
The smell of blood wafted out of the broken windows, and from the strong smell, it was inferred that most of the people in the room had already died.
Lawrence didn't hesitate to crash into it, and this time he didn't get in the way, and went straight into the auction house, seeing the situation in the room at the same time.
There was no surprise that there was a lot of blood on the ground, and most of the people who came to the auction fell to the ground, and a few fell on the table, and from the moment Lawrence burst in, he could tell that the situation inside was extremely miserable.
Lawrence coughed lightly, getting used to the unpleasant smell of the room, and it was only then that Donnie walked in through the door that he could easily push open.
"Something isn't right, go see where that Davis is." Lawrence finished speaking, and walked cautiously in the direction of the spiral staircase.
Donnie didn't say anything, just silently took the revolver of the ripping werewolf out of the empty wing backpack and walked towards the side door of the hall.
Just as Donnie was about to cast a spell to push open the side door, Lawrence's scolding suddenly came from behind him.
In the midst of his fragrant words, Lawrence fell backwards from his position on the second floor, slamming straight into the long table full of corpses with a muffled thud.
Donnie didn't hesitate to pull back, then raised his hand and pulled the trigger in the direction of the second floor.
The muzzle of the gun kept spitting out bullets, but the bullets that were moving forward at high speed suddenly stopped in the air!
