Chapter 23 First Mission

The sky in the evening was a bit intoxicating. The orange-red sunset covered the city. People also dragged their tired bodies and went home happily, ready to enjoy the rare night. Camus wore a black suit and held toast in his hand. He rushed to the Adventurer's Guild while eating.

"There are only a dozen copper coins left in the blink of an eye. I can't live without making money. I hope to gain something tonight."

Camus stepped onto the second floor with the sun's glory and pushed open the door of the Investigation Department.

"Squeak..."

"Oh... Is this Camus? I feel like a different person after changing clothes. Do you need black tea or coffee?"

When Camus entered the door, he saw Kaxiu making coffee and black tea. The aroma of coffee filled the whole room. After seeing Camus, he pointed to the teapot and asked what he wanted.

"Oh, thank you so much. I want a cup of black tea. Please."

"Don't you need coffee? Tonight is a very long night, and I make good coffee."

Camus shrugged, put his hat on the shelf next to the door, and smiled at Kaxiu.

"Then have a cup. Thank you, Kashu. Where are the captain and the others?"

"In the operations room. Go first. I'll come after I make coffee."

"Um... OK." Camus walked a few steps, saw the "Operations Department" on the doorplate, opened the door and walked in.

After entering the door, Camus was almost choked by the secondhand smoke. He squinted his eyes and found that everyone in the investigation department was there, so he felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh... Sorry, I'm late. Did I miss anything?"

Monroe raised the tobacco in his hand, "Camus, one stick? It tastes pretty good. This is the tobacco of the Doin River and the Yodel people. Their tobacco is famous far and wide. As for your question, I think you missed our afternoon tea, but you didn't miss the evening tea."

At this time, Kashu came in with six cups of coffee, distributed them to several people, and closed the door by the way.

Camus pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling at the few people, "We just finished eating, so it's good to have something to drink. As for the tobacco, well... Captain, you can enjoy it slowly."

Monroe took a big puff of tobacco, spit it out intoxicatedly, and picked up a cup of coffee.

"The coffee is really good. The people Susie found are all special. This is the information collected by the Adventurer's Guild. Take a look. The impact of this incident is very huge. The citizens are very panicked."

Seeing the white paper pushed over, Camus took it up with a solemn face and observed it carefully.

"Dead: Claude Shiliu, occupation: tavern waiter, age: 23, race: rabbit people, time of death: between 12 and 1 a.m., cause of death: abdomen opened, internal organs damaged, excessive blood loss, no clear enemy, no trace of crime.

Seeing this, Camus thought of the man in the hospital, thought about it, and turned to the second page.

"Dead: Makuin Dosi, occupation: student of Caldecott History College, age: 24, race: white wolf people, time of death: between 12 and 1 a.m., cause of death: abdomen opened, internal organs damaged, excessive blood loss, no clear enemy, no trace of crime.

...

Looking at the pages of the autopsy report, Camus narrowed his eyes and put down the information in his hand.

Seeing that several people had finished reading the information, Monroe put out the cigarette and tapped the table with two fingers.

"What have you found?"

Susie took a sip of coffee, "The deceased all died around 12 o'clock, they were all in their 20s, and there were no traces. Could it be that sequence that did it?"

Akali stroked the long sword on her body and said lightly, "You guys take care of these questions, I'll do the killing."

Caska patted the pen in his hand, "I'm sorry, my mind is full of "mechanical drawings", I can't spare any time, you guys think slowly."

As for the cat man Kashu, he was intoxicated by drinking coffee, and it seemed that he could not be relied on.

Camus knew at a glance why Susie was looking for him. They were all ruthless people who would never waste their brains if they could take action.

"Ahem... Actually, everyone has a purpose in doing things. In addition to the problem Miss Susie mentioned, I found another problem."

"All the dead are aliens, not a single human, and the murderer kills without purpose. We must find their motives before we can find the murderer. So who hates aliens the most?"

"Hearing this question, several people in the room fell silent. There is too much hatred between these races, and it is impossible to explain it."

Seeing that several people did not speak, Camus pushed the information, "Captain, I want to ask what sequence is keen on laparotomy? Or what do they want to get from the dead."

"Lapararotomy?"

Susie stood up when she heard it, "Evil rituals require internal organs, but their body organs are not lost, so it can only be some illusory things, such as "extreme emotions" or "strong desires."

"Then only two sequences need this kind of thing, "Sequence Seven Dreamer" and "Sequence Nine Lawyer", of course, the evil existence of Sequence One is not ruled out."

The captain shook his head, "Sequences are all evil." If you want to doubt, then doubt all sequences. You know, the "price of sequences" is high, "no one will be healthy after paying the price." Any sequence can do this. "

"Seeing this, Camus sat on the table and pondered, thinking about the details he had seen, and suddenly thought of what the police said, "Congressman," since only a few people died, why did the congressman go to the police station? Thinking of this, Camus looked up at Susie.

"Miss Susie, do you know how many people die and disappear in Caldecott City every day?"

Susie thought for a while and said a number.

"More than ten"

Hearing this, Camus was sure that someone was behind the scenes fanning the flames and causing panic among the citizens.

"Captain, I don't think we can participate in this matter, so let's choose another mission."

Monro shook his head when he heard it, "This is our first mission, and we must complete it at all costs. Have you found anything?"

Camus looked around the team members and slowly uttered two words.

"Coup"

"You have seen that in Caldecott City during this period, our mayor has been having a hard time. I saw a large-scale parade a few days ago, and the citizens knew too much about this murder too quickly."

Susie took a sip of coffee, "You mean, someone wants to frame the mayor for the murder and is fanning the flames from behind?"

"No, they don't need to frame, they need an outlet for their anger. The government's oppression and incompetence will lead to a public uprising. As far as I know, Caldecott City's policies are "very unfriendly" to aliens.

Monroe relit a cigarette, "You mean, these people were killed just to make the citizens angry?"

"The aliens are holding back a fire, and they are about to explode. Captain, are you still going to do this mission? This is just a small guess of mine. And, maybe things are developing in a good direction? ".

Monroe knocked on the table, "No, this may be a direction. We cannot participate in the coup, but since we know there is a possibility, we have to find the murderer."

When Camus heard this, he picked up a pen and wrote two words on the table, "Congressman", and knocked.

"Let's start with the congressman. If the mayor falls this time, who is most likely to take office?"

When Susie heard this, she spit out a name, "Dam Yangxi" Congressman, sheep man, president of the Caldecott Charity Association, president of the Alien Workers Guild, leader of the Caldecott Sheep Clan, and a strong candidate for the next mayor.

"Okay, go track him down and see if Camus's speculation is wrong. I have a feeling that this will be a thrilling mission."
