Hearing Crane and Frye's speculation, Leonard ripped off the collar of his shirt and paced back and forth a few steps:

"It would have to be a hassle to investigate all the people Sauls had come into contact with in the workhouse and everyone he met since he was evicted from the house...... We'll hurry up and split up here to do an investigation, then head straight to the third death in the West End and hand over the rest to the police. ”

"Okay. Klein replied without hesitation.

Frye didn't object, and turned to the few poor people who had slept near Sauls last night.

Klein was about to look for another target when he saw Leonard wink at him and point his chin at the side hall of the workhouse.

He was confused, pretending that nothing had happened, and circled the Mass hall for half a circle, and then, without Frey's attention, followed in Leonard's footsteps, entered the side hall, and through the partition, came to a secluded and uninhabited corner.

"I have a guess. Leonard stopped in front of the window with shattered glass and spoke suddenly and directly.

Klein glanced left and right suspiciously, "What guess?"

Leonard asked rhetorically with deep green eyes:

"What do you think would have happened to Mrs. Lawris had it not been for the supernatural factor?"

Klein thought for a moment, and said with a bit of a heavy heart: "It's still the same ending, but it will be postponed for a week, two weeks, or a month, and for their kind of family, they will definitely not go to the doctor until they can't support it, and as long as the heart disease becomes serious, death can come at any time, and there will be no room for salvation." ”

"What about Sauls, what would have happened to him if he hadn't been instigated?" Leonard asked again.

Klein pondered and spoke:

"From the information presented, Sauls has long been resentful of bankruptcy and extremely resentful of not being saved, and I think sooner or later he will take revenge, but it will not be against the bailouts, but against the owners of the companies that caused him to go bankrupt, and the bank employees who took his house. ”

"What will happen if he gets his revenge?" Leonard asked.

"There is no doubt that he has already intended to end his own life, and whether the revenge is successful or not, he will die. Klein replied in the affirmative.

Leonard bowed slightly, revealing his trademark flirtatious smile:

"May I say, then, that both Mrs. Lawvis and Sauls are destined to die in the near future?"

Klein is a "well-informed" keyboard powerhouse, and when he heard this question, he immediately had a guess:

"Are you saying that their deaths were artificially preceded by supernatural factors?

"It would be more accurate to describe that the 'life' they should have was artificially shortened and stolen by the supernatural factor, and 'life' has always been the best material for summoning evil gods, demons, and performing terrible curses. The corners of Leonard's mouth curled slightly to correct Klein's guess.

"Summoning evil gods, demons, and performing terrible curses......" Crane said as he stared into the other party's turquoise eyes, half questioning and half speculating, "You seem to be very sure, but our sample is only two ...... for the time being."

Leonard smiled cynically, "Klein, we don't need to pretend to be between us, I've seen you break free from the control of the seal '2-049' and know how special you are, and you should vaguely feel that I'm different from the average extraordinary." ”

He retracted his smile and met Klein's gaze and said:

"I once told you that there are many special people in this world who can always do things that others can't, such as you and me. ”

"This world has a long history, there are magical objects of one kind or another, there will always be people who get them, master them, and become the protagonists of different dramas, there are not too many such people, but it is certainly impossible to have only one or two. ”

"I don't think that extraordinary people who hide secrets are necessarily villains, villains, and I don't think it's necessary to figure out what makes them special and why...... As long as your actions do not endanger me, the night watchman and the entire city of Tingen, then you are still my teammates, and in the same way, I hope you will treat me with a similar attitude, of course, this kind of thing is better not to tell the people above, those guys are old-fashioned and conservative, always think that special people like us will inevitably get out of control, and will inevitably be tempted by evil gods and demons to fall. ”

But I know more secrets than you think...... Klein muttered to himself silently and said calmly:

"I do have such an attitude, only looking at your actions and purposes, not caring about your specialness, not trying to pry into your secrets. ”

After saying this, he silently added in his heart: No, in fact, I still care, quite curious, but I can only forcibly endure it, well, Leonard feels that he is the protagonist of a drama?

Leonard unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, chuckled and nodded:

"I'm glad we came to a consensus. ”

"In those adventure novels, it's called the two protagonists meeting, and the wheels of history begin to roll forward. ”

Shameless!Klein smiled perfunctorily.

He was well aware that "the wheels of history began to roll forward" came from Russell the Great......

At this time, Leonard paced briskly twice, his green eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth outlined:

"Well, I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure I suspect that the protagonists of these deaths should have died in three months, but they were brought forward to the last two weeks by various means, and the other party's purpose was to summon evil gods, demons, or perform a terrible, widespread curse. ”

"It's easy to disguise the early death of someone who shows signs of death, and it won't get the attention of the police department soon, and it won't be ......destroyed by the night watchman, the substitute punisher, and the mechanical heart in the preparation stage," Crane whispered to himself, analyzing the thoughts of the one behind the scenes****** Nader echoed with a smile:

"Yes, if a healthy, normal person dies suddenly and inexplicably, as long as there are more than three cases, it will definitely be noticed and will be routinely investigated. ”

"Then how do we find an altar for the ritual? Whether it is to summon evil gods, demons, or to create terrible curses, we need altars, we need rituals, and those 'lives' that are harvested in advance must have a similar place to store them. Klein believed the other party, after all, he didn't find any other clues, and he couldn't make another judgment.

Try it and it won't work!

Leonard chuckled twice and said, "Crane, shouldn't this be your area of expertise? Can't you imagine what it would be like around a ceremonial altar?"

Without waiting for Klein to answer, he preemptively described: "The breath of death is strong, with the altar as the center, and within a radius of 10 meters, there will be no living creatures except for the presiding officer of the ceremony...... The ambient temperature was at least 5 degrees Celsius cooler than normal, and there was a constant cold wind blowing through...... In the altar sealed by the spiritual wall, there is also the 'life' that Mrs. Lawris and others have been taken away......"

Speaking of which, he looked at Klein and jokingly said:

"I'm sure you'll be able to tell where the altar with these characteristics is. ”

Crane frowned slightly, and replied in a deep voice:

"As long as it doesn't go beyond the city of Tingen, and in addition, I need an absolutely quiet, undisturbed environment, such as my house, well, and the belongings of Mrs. Lawvis and others. ”

At the same time, he muttered to himself, feeling that Leonard knew too much about this kind of black magic and black witchcraft.

"No problem. Leonard laughed, and Huo Ran stepped past Klein and walked towards the Mass Hall, without being verbose.

This guy's style of doing things is really unique...... Klein scolded and followed the other party back the way he came.

Finding Frye, who was seriously questioning and taking notes, Leonard said with a serious expression and seriousness:

"I had a guess and was going to give Klein a try. ”

"What speculation?" asked Frye, seemingly cold.

"I'll tell you when the results come, I don't want to be the target of ridicule from Rozan. Leonard made a random excuse and put things on the side.

Without further questioning, Fry went to the nearby police station and borrowed Saulse and Mrs. Lawvis' belongings, and then met up with his teammates at Crane's house.

"Wait in the living room, don't let anyone disturb me. Klein pulled out his pocket watch, snapped it open, and looked at it.

It was close to 6 o'clock, and Melissa could come back at any time.

"You can trust us. Leonard walked up and down the small living room with his hands in his pockets, while Frye sat quietly on the couch.

Crane pouted and returned to his bedroom on the second floor, locking the wooden door and sealing the room with a spiritual wall.

Immediately afterwards, he set up the altar and prayed to the goddess for help in order to initially remove the distraction.

Klein then wrote the corresponding "divination statement" on a piece of paper:

"The location of the altar. ”

The restrictions he gives are very broad so as not to make mistakes.

Taking the piece of paper and the deceased's belongings, Klein half-lay down on the bed, recalling Leonard's description of the scene, and then silently reciting the "divination statement" seven times.

- He didn't try to do it with the help of the special above the gray mist, firstly, because Leonard, this weird and mysterious guy, is downstairs, and no one knows if he will detect any clues this time, and secondly, he belongs to the "soothsayer" who is about to finish digesting the potion, and with the assistance of the ritual, it should be enough.

If there is really no result, Klein will consider finding another opportunity to go to the gray mist, after all, summoning evil gods and demons will threaten Benson, Melissa, and his own affairs!

With the help of meditation, he quickly entered the dream realm, and "saw" the vague, hazy, illusory, and fragmented scenes.

Soon, a picture appeared in front of him.

It was a two-story gray-blue house bathed in the glow of dusk, the windows on the first floor were closed, and the dark curtains showed no gaps, but they expanded and contracted from time to time.

The soil around the house was dark brown, not a single grass or flower had grown, and the surrounding garden seemed to be clouded, dilapidated and dim.

Not far from this house, there is a river that flows quietly.

......

After a while, Crane, who didn't see any more images, withdrew from the dream.

Leonard's speculation is true...... Where would that house be? There are so many places in Tingen with a river, such as the West Quarter, the Marina District, the University District......" He opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and thought with a rather serious expression.
