The sun was scorching outside, and the clouds of the next state could not be seen at all, like two worlds.

Glassland is mostly mountainous, but Oclaire is a little better, and if you continue to the center of Glassland, you will see many peaks.

"So, that's how this plate of mountain fries works!"

Lawrence looked at the assortment of french fries and meat strips on the table, rubbed his hands, and grabbed it without any image.

I have to say that the dishes in this restaurant are generous, and the fries are indeed piled up like mountain buns.

"You eat first, I'll look at these files."

It is possible that the missions released in Fort Thirteen do not involve the otherworld, but they may be sent to Fort Thirteen if they stump the local police officers, such as the case of Downey's death in the secret room.

The deceased was a local antique dealer named Docoste Tabor, a well-known dealer, who was over half a hundred years old, and none of his family was in Orclaire, only he lived in the antique shop.

In addition to his death the night a week ago, his apprentice, Matt Rose, who usually slept at the counter of an antique shop, also had an accident.

The apprentice did not die, but went mad, and no one understood what came out of his mouth.

At first, the officers thought that it might be the most poorly treated elementary school apprentice who killed Taber, but they soon realized that he had not done it.

Because Tabor didn't die in the house, but in the basement under the antique shop.

The basement was where Tarbor's valuables were kept, and there was a safe that was intact until after his death and no one opened it until the officers came in.

The situation inside the basement was chaotic, the mess was turned to the ground, the electric lights that followed from above had shattered, and Tabor seemed to have fought with someone, and finally lost, his throat was torn open, and part of his internal organs were missing.

It looked like it had been attacked by a beast, but the problem was that the only door in the basement was closed so well that there was no one else in the basement except Tabor himself.

If nothing really came in through the door, it could only be that Tarber did it himself, but that doesn't make sense, if he really suffered an injury like Tabor, he would have died a long time ago.

So the case was quickly sent to Fort Thirteen, and Lawrence took it due to the agents' shortage of manpower.

"Which job do we take care of first?" Donnie asked, after a cursory look at the information.

"Let's look at the one in the chamber first, and the other two have other people involved." Lawrence said as he ate, having almost eaten up what he had ordered.

"The pastor of the Glorious Church went over to see it, and they left just before we went, so let's not meet them."

Donnie nodded immediately, completely agreeing with Lawrence.

Even if Fort 13 ignores Donnie's existence, if Donnie appears in front of the priests of the Radiant Church, there is a high chance that he will fight if he is found out as a dark wizard.

Even though Downey was not afraid of the people of the Radiant Church, there was no need to fight them.

Anyway, at this stage, because of the gradual improvement of extraordinary power, all kinds of troubles are constant, and there are other things that can be solved if you don't participate in this.

After eating, Lawrence still drove the impala and took Donnie straight to Tarbor's antique shop.

The antique dealer named Tabor died in the middle of the night a week earlier, and the exact date cannot be determined.

Although this period of time is not very long, it is enough to dilute the clues left behind by the vast majority.

In particular, the contents of the antique shop have been moved, most of the items have been taken away, and all that is left is an empty room.

This was not uncommon, and Downey went in to take a look while Lawrence was outside reading the newspaper.

There was really no obvious information left in the room, even the counter was taken away, and soon Downey walked into the place where Tarber had died.

It is true that iron can drive away evil in the Federation and in some places, but powerful demons and spirits can resist or ignore the presence of iron.

Tabor seems to know a little bit about this, and given his profession, it's not surprising that he knows more.

The basement door was covered with a layer of iron sheet, which didn't look too thick, and it looked like it had only been made recently, not like it had been there for a long time.

Did Tarble know he was in danger?

Donnie thought as he looked around.

There was indeed a layer of iron plates pasted in the room, which were all hastily nailed, and it looked a little untidy, which was more consistent with Donnie's guess,

It's just that the things in the house are so missing that Downey can't possibly find out why Tabor is being targeted.

This result was not unexpected, so he stayed here and went straight outside.

Lawrence was still reading the newspaper, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome.

"I think Tarber may have received some cursed artifact, like my Soul Jar."

Speaking of this, Donnie suddenly remembered that the Soul Jar with only three spirits left had not been filled yet, and it was still in the stage of continuous loss of strength.

At some point, the Soul Jar will shatter completely.

"Then we need a breakdown of Tabor's supplies, but we don't know if we can find out what exactly is causing this situation."

Lawrence said, driving to the officer who had received him that morning.

"What do you say? Not only was it taken back by Tarbor's family, but it was also sent to auction? ”

With this result, Lawrence was a little speechless.

It turns out that shortly after Tarbor's death, his family rushed over from other cities and took Tarbor's belongings.

Most of the antiquities went straight to Orclair's auction, which has now been over for three days.

Lawrence's face suddenly became a little ugly, there was obviously something wrong with what had been sold, and it made him feel strange to be taken away so quickly, but it was too late to say it now.

Now all Downey can do is find Tarbor's list of items and compare them with the information from the auction.

Not only that, but it is also necessary to determine the current condition of the people who bought the antiquities left by Tabor, and whether they have found any anomalies.

After all, it was as if Tabor himself had discovered the anomaly, so he installed those precautions, but they didn't work.

Donnie didn't need to deal with this matter himself, and handed it over to the police officers.

"It's not good to be out of school!" Standing in the doorway, Lawrence sighed and said to Donnie, "In this way, there is much less hope of solving this matter, and I hope it can be found." ”

Donnie nodded, and suddenly it seemed as if someone was watching him!
