Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 60 Kidnapping Case

Lewis had a rough guess about the location he saw in his dream. The building was undoubtedly located in the East District, which was the slum area of ​​Backlund, where the poor and lower-class workers lived.

The East District has many heavily polluting factories and is the source of Backlund's smog. Homeless people starve or freeze to death on the roadside every day.

Lewis took Mr. Dick's glasses and took Brough on the subway to the East Side.

"Are you still planning to use divination to find the other party's location?" Blau asked Lewis after coming out of the subway station.

Lewis nodded, holding Mr. Dick's glasses and using his cane to do divination to confirm the target's location.

"Tsk... I can't tell the truth!" Lewis looked at the crutch that was swaying from side to side but wouldn't fall down, and several possibilities flashed through his mind.

He could almost confirm that the reason for this result was not due to insufficient divination conditions.

"There is a power near the target person that can interfere with divination. This power could be a supernatural object or a supernatural person.

My previous dream divination was not affected, which means that the object that interfered with my divination was moving. "

Lewis once again had a clear assessment of Dick's disappearance. This was not an ordinary case, but most likely an extraordinary event.

He set his sights on Blau. The reason he couldn't get a divination result might be because his divination ability was not good enough, or the supernatural power near the target person exceeded his own.

If Sequence Six Brau were to use divination, perhaps he could find the exact location.

"I can help, but you have to give me half of the reward this time." Blau picked up the cane and took Dick's glasses from Lewis. He infused spirituality into the cane.

This time, the cane fell smoothly in one direction.

Lewis didn't say much, he just followed the "Staff Divination" all the way.

After half an hour of searching, Lewis finally saw a sign with the word "Black" on it on a street. He paused and said, "Dick is in the basement of a nearby building."

At this point, Lewis hesitated. It was not a good idea to go alone to find the murderer of the kidnapping case. With his abilities, he might not be able to defeat those extraordinary people.

“Do you need my help? As long as I don’t restrain myself and take a nap there, the problem can be solved perfectly.” Just as Lewis hesitated, Blau raised his head slightly and said proudly, “When I was just promoted to ‘Calamity Priest’, I was commissioned to investigate a small gang. The leader of that gang was a Sequence Seven. As a result, I just couldn’t restrain myself and lurked there for less than a week, and that gang was involved in a gunfight and completely disappeared in the dust of history…”

Lewis twitched his lips and secretly complained, "Thanks to you for being so proud to talk about your dark history. Being unlucky is not something to be proud of, especially for a calamity priest like you who is so unlucky that God is angry and people hate you."

"Can you guarantee the safety of the hostages?" Lewis asked coldly. He did not sympathize with the kidnappers, especially those kidnappers who might have supernatural powers.

"As long as you stay no more than 50 meters away from me, I don't think there will be a real death." Blau adjusted his crooked top hat and threw his cane to Lewis.

Lewis walked into the shadow with a cane. With the power of the cane, his figure was able to merge with the shadow, and it could not be detected unless you looked carefully.

Blau first went to the "Black" bar to buy a beer, then stood in the corner while drinking the beer, humming a colorful Intis tune facing the sun. About half an hour later, a violent explosion suddenly came from the target building, and the thunderous sound instantly attracted the homeless people on the roadside.

Seeing this tragic scene, Lewis suddenly faced up to his own role. At least, when he and Blau maintained a distance of less than 20 meters, he had never suffered any serious misfortune.

Blau signaled to Lewis to take action, and Lewis immediately broke into the room through the window.

After entering the room, Lewis used the power of his cane to hide himself. His figure became extremely inconspicuous, and only a pair of brown eyes could be vaguely identified.

The gas pipe in the room had exploded, breaking the pots and pans in the kitchen into pieces and scattering them in every corner of the room.

"Did those criminals discover the danger?" Lewis glanced around the room. He only saw a seriously injured and dying man with exaggerated tattoos on his arms.

Lewis took the man's money and a strand of hair, and found the entrance to the basement, hoping to take care of the matter before the police arrived.

When opening the basement, a fishy odor could be smelled. A complete human skeleton was hung on the wall opposite the door. Next to the skeleton was a half-dried human skin and some smelly pieces of meat.

Three people with black bags over their heads were tied to the pillar in the middle of the basement. When they heard the door being pushed open, they made a "whimpering" sound and their bodies could not help shaking.

"Ugh..." Lewis covered his mouth. After all, it was the first time he saw such a disgusting murder scene, and he needed some time to adapt.

It only took him a few seconds to suppress his psychological discomfort with the help of the machine's characteristics and carefully examine the room.

"The criminals who kidnapped you have left. I will help you untie the ropes, and you can choose to leave on your own." Lewis tried to lower his voice, turning it into a voice similar to that of a middle-aged or elderly person.

Only when these unfortunate kidnapped people started to whimper did Lewis untie the ropes that bound their hands and feet, and then left in the shadows.

……

"Is the matter resolved?"

Lewis' figure gradually appeared in the sunlight. Blau looked at Lewis and asked.

"I don't know if it can be considered solved. The criminals in the room have all escaped. The police will deal with this matter later. It has nothing to do with us." Lewis rubbed his eyes. He would do a divination when he returned. He always felt that things were not that simple.

If he guessed correctly, the dried corpse in the basement should belong to the owner of the house. The organs of the corpse had disappeared and it was unknown what they were used for.

Lewis speculated that this incident was related to an evil ritual, perhaps the work of devil worshippers.

"It is indeed a good idea to use the authorities, but it is a pity that most wild superhumans always have misunderstandings about the authorities." Blau smiled. Lewis's mind is very active, and his way of thinking is fundamentally different from that of ordinary wild superhumans.
