I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Inside the police station.

The three of them flipped through the information and looked at the case records of the apartment incident at Happy House.

However, police records are very vague in cases involving gangs.

I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t dare to investigate carefully, or if I took the money and deliberately kept it vague.

"it's here."

Fortunately, Shia has a spell that allows her to directly read quantum fluctuations, allowing the file to grow and read itself, and she quickly found the relevant information.

[Liz, fifteen years old, cause of death: unclaimed, body burned]

"?"

Lu Tan was stunned for a moment.

How come the cause of death has been painted out?

He looked back and saw that there was no photo of the girl, and there was no autopsy report on the body. They only said that it was cremated in the funeral parlor where they first went, and the ashes were missing.

A living person died just like that. Even the reason was covered up and the final whereabouts of the body was not known. It really made people feel that this world was too stupid.

"There are not many records on this case."

Shia pointed down.

[Two violent armed groups fought in the Happy Home Apartment, resulting in 17 deaths and six injuries. The two criminals were arrested and released on bail after negotiation with the police. 】

The large-scale gang fight resulted in the death of seventeen people, but only two scapegoats were captured and released. This shows how chaotic the security in the abandoned capital is.

Drizzt looked at the trial transcripts and the list of casualties.

Except for the five gang members, the others were ordinary civilians, and three people died in the Happy House Apartment, including Liz in Room 404.

And Tucker in room 405.

Regarding Tucker's records, Drizzt found that the police had many details here.

[Tucker, the leader of the violent gang Knife Gang, died in a fight with other gangs in October 25 due to a dispute. 】

In addition to Tucker, the other four gang members are also members of the Sharp Knife Gang. It seems that they gathered here and were taken advantage of by the Catania family.

Such cases are not uncommon. In the past few years, the Catania family has continued to expand and had disputes with many small gangs. Some surrendered and became subordinates of the Catania family, and some, such as the Sharp Knife Gang , was directly eliminated by the Catania family, and was completely removed from this city.

It seemed that Liz, who originally lived here, was involved in a fight between gangs and died. Lu Tian looked at the information of other deceased people and found that most of the causes of death had also been erased.

Although according to Stone, the Catania family wants to whitewash itself and become a high-class person, its characteristics as a gang are still inevitable in the process of expansion and stability. When faced with those small gangs and violent gangs, Sometimes, it is obviously much easier to give them an offer they can't refuse than to spend a lot of time negotiating.

"But how does any of this relate to Dr. House's case?"

Shia didn't quite understand.

If Drizzt was dreaming about Flora, she and Liz were good friends who lived together. They were in poor health before and were cured by Dr. House's medicine. They encountered a gang fight a year ago. Liz died unexpectedly, and Flora began to receive Dr. House's medicine directly. The events can be explained here.

But why kill these two people?

"Because they saw the gangster's face or knew some gangster's secrets, so they were silenced?"

Lu Tiao made a random guess.

"But the gangs can control the records of the police station. There is no reason why they don't know about the existence of these two people. They should have been silenced long ago."

Drizzt shook his head. In the abandoned city, if the gangsters want to keep any secrets, they can just kill them without worrying so much.

"Furthermore, Dr. House is related to Mrs. Martina and the Catania family. In addition, someone from the Catania family also died." Gu

Having said this, he flipped through the files and looked at the list of those on trial.

Drizzt soon discovered a familiar name, McGee, which was the name of the gangster who died because of the Flower of Glass.

He participated in the siege of the Knife Gang, was later pushed out as a scapegoat, and was eventually released on bail without being punished.

"The connection is here"

Drizzt felt that the threads in his mind were gradually being sorted out.

The deaths of these three people are indeed related to this incident.

What kind of murderer would kill these three people with such hatred?

Drizzt felt that as long as he could find a motive, he could quickly deduce the murderer.

Because these cases obviously have very strong purposes.

When the motive is revealed, it can clearly point to the murderer.

"It seems that I have to ask the Catania family tonight."

He thought about his banquet invitation

evening.

The core urban area of ​​the abandoned capital.

This place is completely different from the outside.

The streets are clean, the buildings are row upon row, and the windows are much brighter.

There are all kinds of vehicles driving on the street, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going.

Colorful signboards stand between the buildings, making the roads colorful. The street lights are dazzling, blocking out the starlight and moonlight.

From any shop on the street, songs were sung from the gramophone, and joyful music filled the city, as if to cover up all the sins.

Most of the people on the street wear decent clothes. These clothes are exquisitely made, and some are hand-sewn to fit the body. The cost of just one button is enough to feed people in the slums for a week.

This was the first time for Lu Tan to come to such a wealthy area. The mansions in the ancient capital were already considered luxurious before, but now he could feel that the ancient capital was just for ordinary rich people, while the people living here were truly abandoned. Upper class.

Children who grow up here will never know what pig feed tastes like, won't have to sell their bodies for money, or smile brightly over muddy bread or someone else's leftover sandwich.

Lu Tan was also uncomfortable. He was wearing a cheap suit. Since it was rented, it didn't fit well. There weren't many people of his height in the waste city, and the clothes were a bit too small.

Drizzt also took out the formal clothes from the bottom of the box. He was careful not to get the clothes dirty.

As for Sia, she rented an emerald-colored long dress. For Sia, who has grown up freely since childhood, wearing this kind of waist skirt and high heels is obviously quite uncomfortable.

"Can I take off my shoes, at least before the party starts?"

Siya rubbed her white feet. The damage caused by high heels to her heels was definitely more torturous than the most troublesome magic question. She couldn't help but take off her shoes and stepped barefoot in the car, feeling quite happy.

"Please pay attention to your image, I don't want you to be kicked out."

Drizzt straightened his tie, and the car arrived at the door of the hotel. He got out of the car first, followed by Lu Tian, ​​and finally Shia, who put on high heels with an unhappy look on her face.

They are about to attend a charity banquet hosted by the Catania family.
