Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 52 Who is the murderer?

“This is the fourth case.”

In the living room of a townhouse on Noble Street in the Cherwood District, Al Hassan spoke in a low voice.

In front of him was the body of a woman in a brightly colored dress.

Like Eve and other victims before her, she also had a huge hole in her abdomen and all her internal organs were missing.

"Same as before."

Luo Luota closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "All the spirits here have disappeared."

"That means the murderer is most likely the same person!"

On the side, Simon Herbert, who was also investigating the case, clenched his fists, his eyes revealing deep hatred.

As he wished, the murderer struck again.

Although this will result in more victims appearing, it also gives him the opportunity to catch the murderer!

"team leader."

Just then, Borgia came in from the door.

"What is the identity of the victim this time? Have you found out?"

Al glanced at Rayleigh and asked in a deep voice.

"The deceased's name is Kathy Summer."

Borgia nodded and told him the information he had found. "She is a teacher at an elementary school in Cherwood. According to her neighbors, she returned home at about 8:30 last night and never left."

"It wasn't until this morning that a pet dog next door smelled the blood and kept barking at the house, which led to her neighbor accidentally discovering her body and calling the police."

"teacher?"

Al Hassan frowned.

Yu Jin suddenly said, "Someone is coming."

The expressions of Al and his companions changed slightly, and they immediately became alert.

Could it be that the murderer wanted to strike back?

However, not long after, three men walked through the door and into the living room.

The expressions of Al and the others also relaxed a lot.

They recognized each other as the Punisher of the Church of the Storm.

"Hello, I'm Alhassan."

Al glanced at Simon who was standing beside him with a gloomy face, and took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand to the Punisher.

"Garcia Zeon."

The leading young man reached out his hand and shook it with Al, then asked, "Mr. Al, I really want to know why you Nighthawks are here?"

Al smiled wryly.

Although the main faith of the people of Loen Kingdom is the Church of the Night, there are actually three orthodox churches in Loen Kingdom.

The Church of Night, the Church of the Lord of Storms, and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

Although the three major orthodox churches get along relatively well, conflicts are inevitable as they compete for believers.

For this reason, the churches of the three major orthodox churches will deliberately avoid each other.

For example, the Church of Evernight's headquarters in Backlund, Saint Samuel's Cathedral, is in the North District.

The headquarters of the Church of Storms, Holy Wind Cathedral, is located in the Cherwood District, and the headquarters of the Church of Steam, St. Hillran Cathedral, is located in the St. George District.

Although in theory, the three major churches are jointly responsible for Backlund's safety.

It's just that in order to avoid conflicts, they tacitly divided their respective jurisdictions.

For example, cases in the North District are generally handled only by the Night Watchers, while the Punishers of the Storm Church and the Mechanical Heart members of the Steam Church will avoid entering the North District.

By the same token, the Night Watchmen would not enter the Cherwood and St. George districts at will.

And now that Al Hassan and his men have appeared in the Cherwood district and are openly investigating a case, this has undoubtedly broken this unspoken rule.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Garcia."

Al Hassan was well aware of the tempers of the Punishers, so he first calmed Garcia down and then explained, "But in fact, the case in Cherwood is not an isolated case. We suspect it is a serial murder case." "Where is the evidence?"

Garcia did not let them go, but continued to ask.

Al fell silent and turned his gaze to Simon.

"Because our people died."

Simon spoke in a low and hoarse voice, "Just last month, she died in her own home in the same way. She was the first victim of this serial murder case. In the past half month, two victims were killed in the same way. Now this is the fourth victim."

"The Nighthawks were killed?"

Garcia was shocked and his expression immediately became serious.

Although on weekdays, the extraordinary people of the three major churches would abide by the rules and avoid entering the parishes of other churches.

There are exceptions to everything.

For example, a serial murder case like the one right now, especially one involving an official Beyonder.

At times like this, all the major churches must jointly handle the case.

Firstly, it is to prevent the murderer from taking advantage of loopholes and roaming around in various areas to commit crimes, and secondly, it is to solve the case as quickly as possible.

It is no wonder that these Nighthawks arrived at the scene first, even faster than them, the Mandated Punishers who were in the Cherwood District.

"I understand."

Garcia took a deep breath, nodded to several people, and then asked, "What clues do you have now?"

"rare."

Al shook his head helplessly. "The murderer handled it very carefully. He took away the victim's 'soul'. Even if we have a psychic, we can't know what happened at the time."

"The only thing that is certain is,"

Eldon paused, then continued, "We originally suspected that the murderer was a Beyonder from the Blood Worship Cult or the Rose School. But now it seems that the murderer is very likely a Beyonder from the Blood Worship Cult, and a Sequence 7 serial killer."

"Blood Cult?"

Garcia nodded silently.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the other party obviously held some kind of ritual when killing people.

Only those crazy people who worship the devil and evil gods such as the Blood Cult and the Rose School can do such a thing.

only.

It is a bit too arbitrary for these Nighthawks to suspect that the person responsible is a Sequence 7 serial killer simply because this is a serial murder case.

and.

There are really too few clues.

“What do the victims have in common?”

Garcia demanded.

If it is a serial murder case, there is a high probability that the victims have something in common.

This is the key to their solving the case.

"No."

El Hassan sighed softly, "The only thing they have in common is that the victims were all young, beautiful women living alone, wearing long, colorful dresses before they died, and they all died in their living rooms. But the problem is,"

Elton paused, then continued, "The victim showed no signs of being violated before he died."

Generally speaking, the purpose of choosing young and beautiful women is simply to rape them.

Even if it is a bit perverted or fierce, the man should rape the woman first and then kill her.

But the murderer simply skipped the process of raping the women and just tortured and killed them.

It was as if the murderer's purpose was simply to torture and kill these female victims.

"team leader."

At this moment, Simon's other teammate, Rayleigh, rushed into the living room with a young man who looked like a student and said quickly, "This man said he knows who the murderer is!"
