Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 112 Investigation
"It's over, it's over!"

Principal Horn sent them downstairs with excitement. He was sure that his home was not stolen. Now he just wanted to follow the direction proposed by Chris and thoroughly dig out the emotional experience of Emperor Russell.

Albert looked at Horn and asked in a low voice to Catherine beside him: "What's wrong with him? What stimulated him?"

"No," Catherine shook her head, "Maybe he just found his own happiness."

"Have he found his own happiness? Isn't he married?" Albert said to himself doubtfully.

Principal Horn rejected Albert's suggestion of full-time protection. He just asked them to solve the case as soon as possible and catch the criminal.

"It's okay, you all go back and don't disturb my work!" Horn stood at the door and waved to them.

"What happened to his spirit?" Horik asked.

"I don't know." Chris shook his head.

He knew it, but he couldn't say it.Mrs. Sharon is powerful enough to be at Sequence 6, and she also has a statue of the original devil. If she were to be arrested, she would definitely have to pay casualties due to the mechanical heart's combat power.

Mrs. Sharon's current status is very high in Tingen. Only Chris knows her truth, and he doesn't have any evidence to convict her. He can't even prove to his colleagues that Mrs. Sharon is an Extraordinary .

To find out the true purpose of the Witch Sect, he can only rely on him.

In the swaying carriage, Chris took out the white crystal copper chain and did a quick pendulum, which told him that Principal Horn's domestic worker was not an accomplice of the thief.

Chris grasped the slowly rotating white crystal. Maybe it was just a reckless thief who entered Principal Horn's house to steal.

To catch this little thief, Horik is all he needs.

The carriage slowly drove into Hoy University. Now that the graduation ceremony has ended, the campus is slightly empty, but there are still some students staying on campus. They are holding the camera invented by Emperor Russell in their hands, taking pictures as souvenirs.

As soon as Albert hung the police uniform on the coat rack, Anne knocked on the door and handed him a telegram from the police station.

After reading the telegram, Albert asked Anne to go to the conference room first.

He stood in the corridor and looked at the three people who came back with him: "Something happened in the suburbs."

Albert handed the telegram to Horick who was walking in front, and greeted them to enter the conference room.

"Many civilians in the suburbs have reported the crime. They have inexplicable insomnia at night. They can hear women crying and see ghosts?"

In the conference room, Horik put the telegram on the table: "They should go to the hospital instead of reporting the crime."

"You're right. Many of them have gone to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor prescribed them medicine, but they didn't get better." Albert replied.

"Then they should go to church." Chris gave his advice.

"Most of them are believers in the God of Steam and Machinery. The believers went to the Holy Mathematics Church to repent and atone for their sins, but it was of no use." Albert continued, "Moreover, the staff of the Holy Mathematics Church also had insomnia at night. Their The symptoms were similar to those of people living in the village, and the bishop still did not feel better after performing exorcisms on them."

There was silence in the conference room. If it was just ordinary insomnia, you should see a doctor. But if a large number of people in a specific area showed symptoms at the same time, there must be something wrong.

"The church staff also heard crying and saw ghosts?" Catherine asked.

"Yes," Albert nodded, "It's just not as serious as others."

"Captain, where did you get this information?" Chris asked.

"I often went to the hospital to stay with Fred and I heard it from other people. Most of the people who showed symptoms were people who lived in the suburbs. People who didn't stay overnight in the suburbs didn't have problems."

"That's the occult thing," Horlick said.

"So they found us. You and Chris go to the countryside at night and visit the people there."

Horik glanced at Chris and nodded.Evening, suburb of Tingen.

The setting sun hangs in the sky, with only half of it left. Night is about to fall, and the clouds are reflected in purple by the sunset.

"Do we really want to stay here for one night?" Chris asked nervously as he looked at the dilapidated hotel in front of him.

The second-story hotel is quite large and is entirely made of wood. The wood outside is already damp and moldy.

When the boss with a haggard look saw a customer entering the store, he stood up with strength.

"Both, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

Horik nodded, took out two one-sule notes from his pocket, put them on the table, and exchanged them for a rusty key.

"201. The key was inserted into the keyhole and turned a few times, and it became rusty." The boss yawned, looking like he hadn't slept for a long time.

"Boss, your mental state doesn't look very good."

In the state of spiritual vision, Chris clearly saw that the boss's head showed the color of overwork.

The boss rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Don't mention it, I've been having nightmares lately..."

Horik inserted the key into the lock and turned it several times before opening the door.

Yellowed bed quilt, damp and moldy walls, faint smell...

Chris didn't even have the courage to lie down on the bed. He followed Horik's example and pulled up a chair and sat on it. Rattan chairs were less likely to get moldy.

Chris broke the silence: "Horik, what do you think happened?"

Horik opened his pocket watch and took a look at the time: "We'll find out in the evening."

The two of them waited quietly until the sun completely set and the red moon rose.

The sound of insects outside the window made the silence even more suffocating. At some point, Chris suddenly heard a woman crying in his ears.

His eyes widened, and he turned to look at Horik, who nodded slightly and pointed to his ear, indicating that he also heard the sobbing.

The difference is that they didn't see the ghost, they only heard the crying.

The woman's cry lingered in his ears intermittently. Horik looked around, trying to determine the source of the sound.Chris covered his ears, but the sobbing continued.

Chris lowered his voice and whispered, "It's spiritual."

Horrick nodded in agreement, unsuccessfully trying to pinpoint the direction of the sound - he felt the eerie sobbing coming from all directions around him.

He stood up, the sound made him a little uneasy, and he didn't like this feeling.

"I'm going outside for a walk."

Chris said in his heart that it was just what I wanted. After Horik left, he silently recited His honorable name. After feeling dizzy, he came to the Island of Stars.

As soon as he arrived on Star Island, the sobs that were ringing in his ears suddenly disappeared.

He walked to the table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote the dream divination sentence on the paper: "The source of the crying sound."

He held the paper tightly and silently recited the divination sentence seven times.As soon as he finished his last words, the scene in front of him suddenly shattered.

He saw the woman again.
