Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 59 No trace

   79 Tulip Street.

When    Colin came, the gate was already guarded by guards in plate armor.

  The passing crowds pulled away one after another, forming a vacuum in front of the mahogany gate.

  Colin walked through the crowd and strode through the gate. The guard at the door bowed to him respectfully.

The layout of this house is similar to his own home on Palm Street, but it is not a building but a single-storey bungalow. It also has one more partial house than him. European-style white column corridors with rose patterns are connected.

   Step into the main house.

   In the center of the living room on the first floor, several guards were standing in front of Regana and talking about something.

   "Colin..." Seeing Colin entering the room, Regana was a little puzzled, "Why are you here?"

   She looked at Colin with a somewhat complicated expression.

   The final result of the duel yesterday morning was quickly spread by the three apprentices who left the last record.

  Regana naturally knew that... She was a little surprised.

   "Regana, Captain Flower sent me to help you investigate this murder," Colin explained.

   approached slowly and handed Regana the paper warrant Flower gave him.

   He clearly felt that Regana's attitude towards him was different from before.

  'Sure enough, the low-key of the ignorance... can't bring true peace.

   Proper display of strength is also important. ’

   He knew it.

   "...I see." Regana nodded after reading the warrant, her face returned to calm.

   "I'll take you to see the scene first. The murder happened last Saturday night, about three to four in the morning."

   She took Colin to the side house on the right first.

   "No. 79 Tulip Street, there are 13 people living in the whole house, one hostess and twelve maids.

   Among them, ten maids lived in the side rooms on the left and right, with a total of six rooms. Only the hostess and two other personal knight maids lived in the main room. "

   Through the European-style corridor covered with beige floor tiles, the two came to the servant's room on the far right.

   The brown wooden door of the servant's room was open, and a strong smell of blood overflowed from it.

   "There are two maids living in this room. According to the traces, the murderer started to kill from here."

  Colin came a little closer and peered inside.

The corpses of the two maids in    were crookedly stacked on top of each other, and fell on the wood-grained floor, their faces twisted and their eyes protruding. The left chest has a huge hole running through the front and back.

   The dark brown blood that has solidified can be seen everywhere, on the walls, on the bedding, and even on the ceiling.

   It looked like a monster with enormous power suddenly entered the room, with unparalleled power, violently penetrated the maid's left chest, pulled out her heart, and threw them on the ground like straw.

   "Pay attention to the floor of the room." At this time, Regana reminded.

   Colin cast a glance.

On the   brown wood-grained floor, apart from the bodies of the two maids, there was a huge pool of blood, as well as some blood spots that were scattered and dripping radioactively.

   It doesn't look like anything weird... not right!

   Colin frowned slightly.

   These bloodstains are sputtering all around, in every direction, front and rear. But... if the murderer penetrated the maid's chest from the front, then obviously because the front was blocked by an arm or the like, there would not be much blood splashing out.

   But now, the sputtering traces of blood on the front do not seem to be blocked in any way.

   Looking at the ground carefully, apart from the maid's dark red blood, a little brown dust, and a few strands of hair that the maid had fallen, there was no trace of anyone else in this room.

  No footprints, no smell...nothing.

   Even the door is intact.

   As if a ghost did everything...

   "It seems that our murderer is invisible." Colin rubbed the surface of the smooth brown wooden door, paused and said.

   "Yes." Regana nodded and led Colin to the next room.

   "At first I thought it was a ghost, but the detection of evil revealed that there was no ghostly aura...or rather, no evil at all.

  There are no monsters, no ghosts, no evil things, no pollution, no traces of witchcraft, and nothing, just as if an ordinary person did all this. "

   She took Colin to quickly browse the misery of the maid's room.

   Most of them are not much different from the first one. They all have wounds through the chest and the heart is missing.

   "But judging from the traces on the scene, it's more like a cult done." Regana stopped in the living room and said.

   Colin nodded in agreement.

   The regular heart-pulling like this is mostly for other purposes.

  The two walked towards the master bedroom.

   As soon as he entered the master bedroom, Colin frowned.

   On the big bed with pink curtains, a naked female corpse had its legs split open, showing signs of being violated. A leather chain with a moon pattern is fastened around the ankle, which is attached to the wrist from the side.

The    chain was so short that her limbs were twisted.

   On the left chest, like the corpses of other maids, there is a big hole, and the heart is missing.

   Blood dyed the bedding under him a dazzling dark red.

   "There are traces of being violated, but nothing is left." Regana frowned slightly and said lightly.

   I don't know if the murderer was interested, or if it was some kind of ritual requirement.

   "Good morning, the two lords of the Lapp School." At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the door.

   A wizard with a goatee followed the guards in, his skin was dark and not wrinkled, but some gray hair still revealed his age.

   "Good morning," Regana replied indifferently, turning her head and lowering her voice to explain to Colin, "Pigou is the owner of this residence, a middle-level wizard apprentice, and the woman who died on the bed, Lisa, is his mistress."

   Colin nodded vaguely.

   "Your Excellency, what do you need me to do?" Pigou asked.

   He frowned slightly, glanced at the dead Lisa on the bed, and sighed.

   On the way here, he had already learned about it from the mouth of the guard. He was angry at first, but after seeing the strange situation at the scene, his anger gradually subsided.

   He is old and just wants to enjoy the last days in peace, and doesn't want to get involved in this kind of incident... Even though Lisa is his favorite mistress.

   "I need to know something about her." Regana said, pointing to Lisa on the bed.

   Pigou nodded and spoke slowly.

  According to him, Lisa, whom he met two years ago, has been raised here by him ever since. He usually lived in a residential area outside the Lapp School on the mountain, and only occasionally came down the mountain to find her.

   The last time he came to see Lisa was half a month ago.

   After listening to the story, Regana pondered for a moment and asked:

   "Do you have any doubts?"

"No, since I met Lisa, she has been living here, and she is also accompanied by a maid on weekdays. If there is a grudge against someone, the maid will tell me... At least until half a month ago, Lisa has also been from No enmity with anyone..."

  Pigou simply shook his head. Although Lisa was his favorite mistress, in the final analysis, she was just a plaything that was imprisoned. He knew her daily traces very well.

  … In his view, it was clearly not due to vendetta.

  Lisa, it's probably just a bad guy.
