Did the witch get her wish today?

"Paul" died.

To be precise, suicide.When the hunters under Siduri found the man, he had already done the same behavior as his friend in the dilapidated hotel.

Eyes gouged out.

After that, before a few people could react, this? The poor man cut off his own neck without hesitation.

"I heard from the shop owner that his mind is a little abnormal. He often talks to himself, and he also said that he would see a yellow mark in the hotel."

Siduri's voice was unhurried, and she told Lilium about the information she had collected so far.

"When our people went in, he had just gouged out his eyes and said with a smile, 'I can't see now?'"

"'I leave it to you afterwards.' These were his last words."

"I'll leave it to you later"? Who is "you" referring to?Lilium who also pursued the Foundation?Or is it another investigator hiding in the shadows?

All of these have become unsolvable mysteries because of the death of "Paul".

"Ah, there is one more thing." Priestess' voice became serious, "That? The man's real name is not 'Paul'. After investigation, the friend he said had his eyes gouged out a few months ago. That’s the name of the man who jumped to his death.”

And this? The man who claims to be investigating the death of his friend and has been hunted down by followers of the Foundation is called John.

"He was also the one who joined the Foundation in the first place, and it seems that, in telling the story, he totally? identified himself as a friend."

But? At that time, she didn't know whether the man at that time chose to bear this? Name because of guilt, or was overwhelmed and already mad.

Another thread of the Calcosa Foundation was cut off just like that.

The place where the dead man lived was mixed with fish and dragons, and there was no surveillance. Siduri was sending his men to conduct a more detailed investigation.Including, but not limited to, the deceased's recent trajectory, who he had contact with, and even the testimony of the regular residents of the store and the boss.

As Wang's assistant, she has long been used to all kinds of emergencies, and she is better at taking post-event measures.

"The details of the situation will be discussed when you come back."

Time flies, after going through the sky arena, investigating the foundation, returning to Cyrenia, and even going to Brown's mansion and other events, before we know it, it's already the beginning of August.

There is only about a month left before the new round of Youkexin auction.

Taking the airship, Lilium and Enkidu returned to the city where the atmosphere gradually became warmer and the flow of people increased a lot.

And Siduri's investigation has also progressed to a new step.

"This is a photo taken by the company's staff." In the meeting room, a woman in a green dress and black veil placed a stack of photos in front of Lilium. "Among the professional hunters we hired, there is a Mr. Jerome whose ability is reading and writing. He can use his ability to take photos of a fixed location for a period of time."

These are the results.

The girl quietly looked at the photos on the table, feeling that this group of people really worked hard.

"As soon as the investigation came out with some results, the person died right under his nose. Wang was very upset and ordered a thorough investigation."

After Siduri became the secretary and director of the personnel department, the professional hunters he recruited were all good at detectives or intelligence, so they naturally shined in this investigation.

"That Paul...Mr., the trajectory of his actions in the days before his death was very messy, and this is also the result of our efforts to sort it out."

As Siduri said, the first half of the thick stack of photos are almost all photos of him running wearily on the road.Sometimes I carry a bag in my hand, and sometimes I don't take anything.

The second half, without exception, are photos of the "hotel gate" and the back gate of the hotel where he lived.

"Jerome can't read the interior, and these two doors are the only way in and out of the hotel."

According to the time number of the photos, the man has not come out of the hotel since the day before the suicide.

However, Lilium rummaged through it, and found an unusually familiar figure among the various pedestrians coming and going.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

The young girl stared at the chant that was blurred by the night and lights, her fingers caressing the blurred silhouette with brown hair.

"... Tina?"

"Tina? Is that? Miss Tina, your friend?"

She looked up at Siduri who was coming closer, "No...I...I'm not sure..." Because Tina Brown has long been ruled missing, and she was still in the secret basement of Brown's house, and she found something stained with it. Blood-stained, the pendant that the girl carries with her.

But? No matter how you look at it, this? figure is Tina, definitely? That's right.

But if she is alive, why is she in the...

Thinking of this? After a long absence, an extremely ominous premonition suddenly rose in Lilium's heart.

She recalled the place where the blood-stained plush pendant fell, and the blood, as if someone was injured, formed there.

"...I'll go find the king."

Before the other party could respond, she picked up the photo and walked towards the office in a nonchalant manner.

"King...Gilgamesh...!"

Lilium's mind was so confused that she walked in without even knocking on the door.

However, the scene in the office made the girl who was planning to continue talking suddenly stuck and fell silent.

"what's up?"

The King of Gold wasn't offended by her recklessness, and she even had a good attitude.And Enkidu, as always? Standing beside him.

"Have you read the evidence of Siduri's search?"

"Yes." Lilium nodded, clutching the photo tightly in her hand. "...What are you guys doing?"

No wonder she was surprised, after all, there are several sundries on the large desk that should have been piled with documents.From her point of view, there are boxes of different sizes, a transparent glass box containing something, and even a large fish tank of about the same height by the side of the table.

However, the most creepy thing is the glass jar full of liquid that the man is holding now.

There is actually a human head inside? !

To be honest, the moment Lilium entered the door, she even forgot about the photo in her hand.Only one idea left in my mind——

Wang was visited by gangsters? Provoked? !

But when she saw the small white fish swimming in the fish tank and some kind of transparent plant in the transparent glass box, she reacted.

"Is this... a gift from someone?"

Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the sofa chair, glanced at her, "Ah, a boring guy who came to invest in this king, seems to have discovered that this king loves to collect treasures through his little ability to perceive words and emotions. "As he spoke, he put the human-headed formalin can on the table. "Here are these."

Six of the seven beauties in the world are now placed in this office.

It can be seen that the wealthy businessman who came to seek refuge spent a lot of hard work.

"Did Lily read the evidence?" Enkidu stepped forward and took her hand tightly holding the photo. "What's this?"

Lilium took a deep breath: "Anyway, listen to me first."

While putting the crumpled photo on the table, she told Gilgamesh all the clues Siduri said, as well as what she and Enkidu found in the basement of Brown's house.

"Until? saw? this? just now, I... I suddenly had a? terrible idea."

The moment the words came out of her mouth, she felt dizzy for a while, and hurriedly supported the table.

"My? Friend, she...maybe? Not dead."

The members of the Phantom Brigade did not find the basement, and Tina, who was hiding there and lost a lot of blood, didn't know what happened, and was eventually taken away or left by herself.

The evidence is that something that was originally enshrined on the altar in the basement also disappeared without a trace.

Of course, it is also possible that the Phantom Troupe did not let go of the things in the secret room and took them away, but if this is the case, it is impossible for Tina to be alive, or her body will remain in the secret room.

And the basement door? It wasn't broken, not even by the police.She also relied on Enkidu's perception of magic power to discover the mystery hidden behind the portrait in the hall.

Also, one more thing? It's weird.Half an hour before Paul's death, photos showed Tina walking into the hotel where he was staying.But until Siduri's men broke into the man's room and watched him commit suicide, no one saw this figure again.

Even the ability to read and write was only captured in this one photo.

"...I think, can't you be so passive anymore." Lilium rubbed her temples, "Before Siduri said that when Mr. Paul died, the room was in chaos. Although you can see that something is missing, But? It's not about money."

He has been hunted down by key members of the foundation, and it is "John" who took away something important from the foundation in the story.

"You have to know what exactly he stole. And...what's in the Brown family's basement."

These are not things that outsiders can easily "find out".

Now that the Youkexin auction is coming soon, this may be a good time for them to get close to those key members.

"Your thinking is still the same? Naive as always?." Gilgamesh snorted through his nose, "But that's it, that? What Rausch Foundation's hands are stretched out, my king has seen them unhappy for a long time gone."

"It just so happens that there is a charity party tomorrow night, why not accompany me to meet those guys."

The charity party that Gilgamesh mentioned was actually held by local politicians at this time of the year in order to appease gangsters and some big consortia before the auction. It was similar to a networking reception.

On the one hand, they don't want to offend the real people in power behind the city. On the other hand, the various forces entrenched here will also take this opportunity to exchange information with each other and inquire about various news.

"……I?"

The man stood up, his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Is it you or who?"

"Uh, ok... ok!"

It's been a long time since I've been in this world, and this is the first time Gilgamesh has taken her out in public, which surprised Lilium.

"What? I took a long vacation, and I lost all the unyielding momentum I used to have?"

? !Bah, no!

"You really know how to joke."

Gilgamesh laughed loudly, not paying attention to the girl's retort, turning his head and glanced contemptuously at the pile of "treasures" on the table.

"It just so happens that the visiting gifts for the party, just pick one here, and you come in person."

The author has something to say: It's a bit of an unimportant main thread, but it should be considered sugary.
