Mystery: Outlander Gods of Bloodborne

Chapter 8 The Mystery of the Case

"My goddess!" Edmund stood up in panic.

The woolen coat restricting physical movement reminded him of the occasion and kept the lawyer from jumping on the desk, but his violent reaction still pushed the thick wooden chair with a screeching sound.

The sharp sound made Viscount Clint tremble in fright, and his trembling hand couldn't hold the box even more steadily, causing it to knock over on the table with the fingers inside.

The severed finger with coagulated blood at the root rolled and fell to a corner of the table.

In the early morning, the bright sunlight passed through the window, illuminating every corner of the room, but at this moment, Edmond and Clint only felt chills all over their bodies.

They looked at each other, and no one dared to pick it up.

A rosy and slender hand pulled a tissue from the table, wrapped it around the severed finger, and put it back in the box.

Yager handed the box back to Clint through a tissue: "Mr. Viscount, hold it steady."

"This is the key piece of evidence."

Up to now, only his expression has not changed much in the whole room.

Fingers won't wriggle, so what's the big deal?Jagel thought grimly.

At most, let the tentacle monster eat another bite, or three bites.

"Thank you, thank you." Clint trembled and didn't want to reach out, "You'd better put it on the table."

Yager silently put down the box again.

In the past few days, the number of times he handed things over and no one dared to pick them up exceeded the limit.

Speaking of which, Clint's reaction struck him as odd.If you were really so scared, how dare you run all the way to the law firm with your fingers?

Haven't brought anyone else yet.

His doubts were quickly answered.

After his fingers were put into invisible places, Edmond finally slowly regained his senses.After all, he is a criminal lawyer, and this is actually not the first time he has seen this kind of scene.

But it's still scary.

"So, Mr. Viscount, what do you need us to do?" Edmund wrapped his black coat tighter.

"To be honest, it's better for you to call the police in this case. We can't help you much during the investigation stage."

"Yes, I'm about to call the police." Clint seemed to feel that Yager's performance just now gave him a great sense of security, and Clint moved a few inches towards him secretly.

"But this Lunze's finger was not sent to me by someone."

"Yesterday, we made an appointment to meet at my manor, but he didn't come. I thought he had something to do to change the day, so I didn't care." The Viscount licked his lips nervously.

"As a result, in the evening, I walked back to the study after eating and found this finger on the table."

"I was so shocked at the time, I picked it up subconsciously to confirm whether it was real. Then I saw the ring on it. The ring was given to Lenzer when he went to sea."

Clint took out another gold ring from his bag.

"I wanted to call the police immediately, but I thought that I didn't have any evidence to prove that the finger and Lenzer's disappearance had nothing to do with me. I was afraid that other parties would use this to attack me."

He lowered his voice, speaking urgently and quickly: "In the polls a month ago, I won one-fifth of the popular vote. Just wait until the election!"

"I can become an MP."

Clint's blue eyes stared nervously at Lawyer Emond.

"Now, tell me, which of these pieces of evidence might serve as an excuse for someone else to attack me?"

The room was silent.

Even Edmond hesitated for a while.

Yagel couldn't help but raised his head from the messy notes, and carefully examined the young man in front of him.

One-fifth of the votes, according to the percentage representation system of the parliament, even if only half of the votes are obtained, the seats can be locked.

Worthy of being a candidate for Congress, when ordinary people are still panicking after receiving a friend's finger, he has already passed the police, thinking about interrogation, suspicion, hostile factions and lawyers, this mental journey is amazing.

In short, a business veteran with deep thinking.

Compared with Yager's conservative estimate, lawyers with deep experience in capitalists have already thought about the next stage.

Edmond coughed and leaned closer to Clint: "Mr. Viscount, before I start the assessment, I need to ask you a question. Did you or, is there a possibility that Mr. Lenzer had an accident in your manor?"

The seasoned lawyer looked suggestively at Clint.

"You can rest assured of our non-disclosure agreement, if it is, our work will go in another direction." He added.

Viscount Clint's face was flushed because of this sentence: "No! Lun Ze is my friend! Friends! I have no motive, how could I not!"

His hair was about to smoke, and he clenched his fists angrily and thumped the table.

Edmund hurriedly brought water to accompany him with a smile: "It's necessary for work, I don't doubt what you mean. But it's easy to handle, you just need to pay attention."

Edmund took out a document from the pile of documents on the desktop, opened it and showed it to Clint, and muttered a bunch of words like "Emperor Russell's fingerprint test", "suspect", "keep silent" and "they have no evidence".

Yager, who just needs to watch and get paid, got up idle and began to draw turtles in his notebook out of boredom.

There was no mystery in this case, and the owner of the finger, Mr. Lenzer, was simply choosing between kidnapping, murder, and factionalism.

Wait, faction fighting.

Yager turned the pen twice and added a tentacle to the turtle.

There are quite a few Extraordinary people in this world, and he met two of them yesterday, not to mention people from the church.The nobles are rich and powerful, so it is not surprising that they can cultivate several extraordinary people.

And Lunze, excluding personal grievances, is most likely to be sunk into East Balam Port by hostile nobles.

There is a real possibility that there is a transcendent element involved.

He closed his eyes and silently activated his weak spiritual vision.The new weakened vision is his improved version based on the knowledge of the god of steam and machinery. It turns out that his vision only tends to observe the invisible higher-level life.

When he opened his eyes again, the color of the whole world had changed.

On the left, lawyer Emond's head is pink, which represents his excited and confident mood, while Clint on the opposite side is blue and purple, indicating that he is sad and anxious.

It appears Clint wasn't lying about his friend's accident.

As for the finger, Yagel turned his attention to the retro wooden box on the table that was kept away by everyone.

Under the spirit vision, the front part of the finger was dim, indicating that it belonged to ordinary people no matter whether it was or is now, and the blood in it was the same.

What stands out, however, is the interface at the end.At the trace of the fracture, there is faintly lingering gray and white silk thread representing mystery.

The silk thread spanned the room, extended outwards, and flowed towards Backlund's chaotic eastern region.
