The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

Because [Gem of Misfortune] also wanted him to track down those demi-humans, then using the method of throwing branches would definitely lead to the direction of those demi-humans.

Lunil first roughly judged the direction in which the demihumans fled from the street, and then began to throw branches.

The branch led to a direction, and Lunier started walking in that direction.

On the way of tracking, Lunier also asked pedestrians, but the answers they got were all uniform. They didn't see any demi-human gangs, but they saw a few carriages marching in a row.

Lunier remembered the reports of those robberies. Those demi-human robbers also used carriages to hide their figures, so that they could quietly approach those shops without revealing their whereabouts and attracting attention.

And this group of demihumans who kidnapped the demihumans seemed to use the same method, using a carriage to hide themselves.

Because demi-humans are usually in most areas of the imperial capital, it is basically equivalent to a group of black cats mixed with a white cat. It is too conspicuous, and it is too easy for a group of demi-humans to gather and act together.

Lunil followed the carriage that the demihumans were riding in, and then he saw several carriages parked by the side of the road.

This is no longer a black street, it has been a long distance away from the black street, and from the perspective of pedestrians on the road, this is undoubtedly...

Asian Street.

This did not surprise Lunier, after all, the best way to hide a tree is to hide it in the forest.

If these demihumans didn't want to be exposed, they would definitely choose the demihuman street as their hiding place.

Lu Nier first checked the carriages, there was no one on them, they were empty, as if nothing was left, apparently abandoned.

Neil is no stranger to this section of the road. He had been to this section of the road before when he came to Yaren Street because the carriage lost control.

Lunier continued to throw the branches...

After a few minutes.

Lunier looked at the correctional school pointed by the branch and fell into thought.

Runier picked up the branch and threw it again.

When the branch fell, the tip was still pointing in the direction of the reformatory.

"Is this what it means to send me to a reformatory? Will I have bad luck if I go to a reformatory?"

Lunier speculated that the branch pointed to the reformatory, which might bring him bad luck.

And he was clearly tracking those demi-humans before, why did he suddenly point to the Happiness Reformatory?

It's impossible for those demihumans to hide in a reformatory, right?

Lunier thought for a while, and decided to turn back.

If his bad luck is in the reformatory, then it is estimated that this bad luck will affect the children in the reformatory, and Lu Nier does not want his bad luck to affect innocent people.

"Lunier?"

Just when Lu Nier was about to go back, Li Jie's voice came from behind him.

"Why are you here?"

"I happened to be here when I was strolling." Lu Nier gave a reason without changing his expression.

"Ah."

Li Jie didn't seem to have any doubts, she frowned slightly, showing a somewhat tangled expression, and finally spoke as if she had made up her mind.

"Can you do me a favor?"

For Li Jie's request, Lu Nier intuitively may have something to do with the bad luck of the reformatory, after all, this is really a coincidence.

"What are you busy with?"

"Several children in our reformatory are missing. I'm looking for them. I hope you can help me find them too."

Li Jie's impression of Lu Nier is that she is a very reliable teammate who is very good at investigation tasks, because many cases encountered by their team were solved by Lu Nier.

"Missing?"

Lu Nier thought about it and agreed.

"It happens that I have nothing to do now, let me help you find it."

He was originally afraid that his bad luck would affect the reformatory school, but now it seems that something happened in the reformatory school without him being involved.

"Thank you." Li Jie was a little grateful. She seemed to be very bad at asking for help.

"By the way, since a child is missing, why not report it to the Patrol Bureau?"

"There is a time limit for missing persons. They must be missing for 24 hours before they can be reported as missing... Moreover, their abilities are also..."

Li Jie didn't finish the sentence, but Lu Nier understood what she meant.

It's nothing more than feeling that the Patrol Bureau is unreliable.

"When did the children disappear?"

"This morning." Li Jie said, "They were still there when you came to find me today, but after I came back, they disappeared. There are three children in total."

"Why do you think they are missing?" Lu Nier asked, "It's only been about half a day since morning?"

"Even if they usually play outside, they will definitely come back at lunch time." Li Jie said with certainty, "There have been no accidents so far. As long as it is lunch time, there will be no children who will not show up." In front of the table."

"Then have you been to the place where they usually go out to play?"

"I went there, but I couldn't find them. Other children in the yard also asked, but no one knew where the three of them went."

"In this case……"

Lunier thought about it.

"Let's go to the places they frequent and ask passers-by."

"it is good."

Li Jie trusted Lu Nier's proposal.

The two went directly to the place where the three children usually played. It was an abandoned mansion with a yard. It was on Yaren Street. Sneak into the courtyard of the mansion to play.

But this mansion has already been found by Li Jie, so Lu Nier started to ask the passers-by near the mansion.

After Lu Nier and Li Jie acted separately, there was a harvest soon.

"They were captured by several masked men?"

"Yes!" The owner of a food stall near the mansion replied, "I saw with my own eyes that a few masked suspicious men took those children into the carriage."

Lu Nier didn't ask him why he didn't stop such words, but continued to ask.

"Which direction are the carriages on those masked men going?"

"Over there." The stall owner pointed in one direction, "After the three children were captured, those people drove the carriage directly there."

"Thank you."

After Lu Nier thanked him, he found Li Jie, who was separated, to join him, and then told her the news he had asked.

"They were captured?!"

Li Jie looked very angry, and completely lost her usual composure.

It's just that even when she became angry, her expression looked calm, but her tone obviously cooled down.

"But... why did you arrest those children?" Li Jie forced herself to calm down and think.

"Under normal circumstances..." Lu Nier thought for a while, "Arresting children is all about extorting ransom from the parents of the other party, which is the so-called kidnapping and ransom."

"But our reformatory is not a rich place..." Li Jie said, "Even if they kidnapped those children, there would be no ransom, and they haven't contacted us yet."

"Then, it is very likely that it is for the organs in the child's body." Lu Nier guessed uncertainly.

"Organs?" Li Jie was a little puzzled, she didn't know the concept of organ trading yet.

"It is to take out the internal organs of the children's intact organs and sell them to some illegal hospitals and doctors." Lunier explained, "But this is not possible, because the organs are resistant..."

Lu Nier also didn't think they were catching children for their organs, because there was no market for them.

It's fine if it's a human child, but who can sell a demihuman child to?

In addition to these, Lu Nier has some other terrible speculations, such as taking demi-human children for evil sacrifice ceremonies, or breaking the legs and feet of these demi-human children to force them to beg for money... …

But looking at Lize's flustered expression, Lu Nier felt that it would be better not to say these guesses.

"However, since there are witnesses who saw the child being taken away by a stranger, this is already considered a kidnapping case." Lunier suggested, "I think it can be reported directly to our investigation bureau, and then the bureau will send someone to come investigation."

"it is good."

Li Jie accepted Lu Nier's proposal without hesitation, and then went directly to the investigation bureau in a carriage.

For this kind of case, especially the case reported by its own employees, the Bureau of Investigation accepted the case without accident.

and……

Handed over to Lu Nier's team to solve.

That is to say, after going around in a circle, it was still up to Lunier and Li Jie to solve it, but this time there was an extra Alonia.

It seems that there is not much change, but in fact there is an additional official investigator, Alonia, and after completing this task, there will be rewards.

For the Investigation Bureau, as long as it is a task, it will be rewarded accordingly, even if the task is declared by the investigator himself.

But don't think about declaring a fake mission because of this, so as to defraud the investigation bureau of the mission reward.

The last investigator who did something like this...

Dead is not dead, but it should be very comfortable in prison.

Members of the squad gather and sit on couches around a table.

"Tell me about the disappearance first."

Although the vacation was interrupted, Alonia did not complain as usual. After hearing that it was the demi-human children in the reformation school where Lize was missing, Alonia took a serious attitude in handling the case.

Li Jie told Alonia all the information she knew about the disappearance.

"Abducted by a stranger..."

Alonia thought for a while.

She recalled the cases of missing children. Most of them were cases of kidnapping for ransom. As for the rest, there were either cases where children were needed for blood sacrifices in evil rituals, or cases where adults were involved with money interests and children were affected.

Alonia put forward her guess without any tact.

"I think those children may be in danger of life."

"Why does the captain think so?" Li Jie asked tremblingly.

"Because according to the known information, even if they kidnapped those children, they wouldn't be able to demand a ransom from your reformatory, right? If it's for money, there are too many more suitable targets than those children. , so there is a high probability that they are not doing it for money. Since it is not for money, the first thing I think of is that children can be used..."

After a pause, Alonia stared at Li Jie seriously.

"Blood sacrifice."

Li Jie's face suddenly turned pale.

In fact, Lu Nier also thinks that it is very likely to be the case, because the environment he is in makes him have to think so.

"But... even if it is for this purpose, there should be other goals, right? Why do you want to take away the children from the reformatory..."

"Because the children in the correctional school are the most suitable, what I say next may be a little offensive, please forgive me, first of all, they are subhumans, and there are some racists in the empire, and they don't even treat subhumans as human beings. In fact I have solved a child disappearance case, which was also a demihuman child. The result was that a person kidnapped a demihuman child as a sacrifice. His testimony said that he was unwilling to use a human child as a sacrifice, but he used a demihuman child There is no psychological burden at all for children as sacrifices, because in their eyes, sub-human children cannot be considered human beings..."

Alonia's tone was a bit complicated, but it could be seen that she was not a racist.

"Secondly, they are orphans. You know this better than me. This means that as long as they are arrested, no parents will come to look for them. If it is a more responsible reformatory staff, maybe they will, but if they are arrested Taking away an orphan is far simpler than taking away a child with parents, and the follow-up influence it brings is much simpler..."

"What's more, I really can't think of the use of the demi-human orphans in the reformatory if they are taken away. Generally, the demi-human orphans sent to the reformatory are mostly those who have a low degree of blood awakening or have some congenital defects. Right? Even traffickers who abduct children seldom target them. In terms of value, I think that even if they are not used as sacrifices, they may be done with other bad things. So I'm going to warn you that they're going to be life-threatening, and make you mentally prepared."

After listening to Alonya's analysis, Li Jie was silent for a while, and then said.

"I understand, Captain, but even if something happened to those children, I still want to find those criminals and give them the punishment they deserve."

I don't know if it's an illusion, Lu Nier felt that the word "punishment" was used very heavily by Li Jie.

"In this case, let's start the investigation now." Alonia said, "Since the criminals were driving the carriage when they captured the children, I think we can investigate the appearance of the carriage and find out if there is any Not on the record."

"it is good."

Lu Nier and Li Jie responded.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, the living room phone rang.

Alonia took the phone casually, and after listening to a few words, she handed the phone to Lunier with a strange expression.
