The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

So the liar ran away without a trace, and less than 10 minutes later...

Her son returned home intact.

It was not difficult to catch this liar. The three of them searched for it all afternoon, and Alonia suggested that the three of them should stay in a nearby family that is relatively wealthy and only the elderly are at home.

Then that group of liars happened to bump into Lu Nier's hands, and Lu Nier directly knocked them all down.

The case was thus easily cracked.

This time the case was more difficult, so it was awarded [-] points. Lu Nier and Li Jie were awarded [-] merit points.

After catching the liar, it was already dark, and Alonia did not receive any new tasks.

Because this time period is equivalent to the "off-duty time" of the Investigation Bureau. Strictly speaking, the Investigation Bureau does not have the term off-duty, but at this time, except for urgent tasks, the Investigation Bureau will generally not give investigations at night. The staff posted the task.

After all, investigators are human beings, and they also need to eat, sleep, and rest...

In addition to the first fight case in the three cases, the robbery and fraud cases gave Lunier an F-level reward respectively.

I don't know why there is no reward for the fight case, but it is a good thing for Lunier that there is no reward, and he is too lazy to think about the system's reward setting.

"I'll give our great hero a reward today. I'll treat you to some delicious food!" Alonia was a little happy, as if it was because of the smoothness of today's mission, "Eat, this baked lobster with cream cheese is my favorite!" It took three merit points."

Although the free meals of the Investigation Bureau are usually very rich, there are meat, vegetables, fish, shrimp, and bread...

However, there are also paid meals in the canteen of the Bureau of Investigation. Not only are the chefs of these paid meals professional chefs, the dishes they cook have additional effects, and even the materials used are of high quality.

Ingredients like this kind of big lobster are not available in free meals.

Although Lunier is not a chef, he has a third-level culinary skill. It can be seen at a glance that this lobster is indeed extraordinary, and the production and quality of the ingredients are obviously better.

The most important thing is its taste and effect. The dishes cooked by professional chefs usually have extraordinary effects, not only in terms of taste. According to Lunier, some dishes cooked by professional chefs can also boost the spirit. , nourishing the kidneys, detoxifying and beautifying and other special effects...

This is not just the effect of the ingredients themselves, but the unique ability of professional chefs.

In other words, the effect of the ingredients themselves has been strengthened many times.

Chapter 127 [Gem of Misfortune]

Lunier had a relatively peaceful few days.

It is said to be relatively calm, but in fact, he has not been idle, but has been working continuously, carrying out the tasks assigned by the Bureau of Investigation.

only……

The missions the team received were all missions that did not involve homicides, and basically dealt with simple affairs within the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Investigation.

Like solving fights, or theft cases, and reporting neighbors suspected of hiding dead bodies...

These tasks are not difficult tasks, so Lu Nier feels a bit too ordinary.

By the way, the one who reported the neighbor to hide the dead body was actually the smell of the neighbor's garbage, but it was too bad and disgusting, because the garbage was kitchen waste from his cooking, that is, unwanted animal offal Things like that, if they were not cleaned up, they would rot and stink as a result...

I don't know why he can't smell it himself.

Compared with Lu Nier's lack of motivation, Alonya likes this kind of work very much. In her words, the simpler and easier the job is, the better the job is.

If there is no need to go home, Lu Nier actually agrees with this idea.

He needs danger!

"Jingle Bell……"

Alonia picked up the phone.

"Hello? What? I see... Lu Nier, someone is looking for you."

……

Bureau of Investigation, living room.

As soon as Lu Nier arrived at the living room, he saw Angela sitting on a chair smiling and waving to him.

"What do you want to come to me?" Lu Nier asked, "If you want me to help investigate new clues, then you have to wait for some time, I still have to work."

"There's no rush for new clues." Angela said, "I've decided to make all the preparations before investigating, and I won't take risks lightly again."

"Then why are you here this time?"

"It's not for anything else, I just want to come and see you... Well, I'm not kidding, in fact, I recently received a message that I found a clue that seems to be a special strange thing."

"Special strange thing? What kind of special strange thing?" Lu Nier was a little interested.

He is still very interested in strange things.

Mainly interested in the side effects of wonders.

Because he recently checked the information and found that many strange objects not only can exert magical effects, but also have terrible side effects, and many people have lost their lives because of the strange objects.

For example, a rare object called [Desperate Wallet]...

The appearance of this special strange object is an ordinary leather wallet, but as long as someone reaches in, a gold coin will be taken out from it. This gold coin is made of pure gold, and there is no extra pattern on it. A round flat coin of pure gold.

According to its weight and purity, if it is simply sold as gold, such a gold coin is equivalent to about a thousand imperial coins.

but……

The price of such a gold coin is that the person who takes out the gold coin will be one year older.

In other words, the person who took out the gold coin directly lost one year of natural life.

Not only that, this wallet is fine if you don't take gold coins in it, but once you can't help but take one gold coin, you can't help but take the second one...

It seems to have some kind of magical power, which will make its owner more and more greedy, and more and more gold coins will be taken out of the wallet.

This strange object was passed through the hands of many individuals, most of whom could not restrain their greed, took more and more, and finally died of old age.

When it was found for the last time, it was in the hands of a well-known millionaire.

This rich man is very smart, he didn't take half of the gold coins from it himself, but relied on the slave trade, directly let the slaves take the gold coins from the wallet, and paid the slave's life to get the gold coins.

He relied on this wallet to convert his life into a steady stream of wealth, until the Bureau of Investigation was established, and after the reform of the Empire’s laws, he was investigated for tax issues. As a result, the Bureau of Investigation intervened and found out the source of his wealth, that is, the strange wallet .

In the end, the millionaire was directly sentenced to death for multiple crimes such as tax evasion and intentional homicide, and the strange wallet... at least on the surface, was destroyed.

In short, many special strange things are very dangerous existences, with great side effects. When Lu Nier looked up this part of the information, he really wanted to encounter such a strange thing.

"This strange thing..." Angela thought for a while, "It is a very dangerous strange thing, and it can also be said that it is a strange thing that no one wants."

"Dangerous strange thing?"

"Well, this strange thing is called the Gem of Doom, and it looks like a very beautiful emerald, about this big..." Angela gestured a circle about the size of a cherry, "But whoever gets it will encounter There is a steady stream of bad luck, so this strange thing is a strange thing that no one wants."

"Interesting." Lu Nier hurriedly asked, "What is the clue of this strange thing?"

"Who is the current owner of this wonder?" Angela said, "I've seen him before, it's really miserable, I saw him less than 10 minutes ago, he choked on drinking water, tripped over a stone while walking , with pigeon droppings on his head..."

"Why did he keep that strange object?"

"Well, he is very greedy for money, and he wants to contact a rich man to sell it. After I knew this, I pretended to be a rich man and went to inquire about the situation. I was thinking that this gem of bad luck is not difficult. I got it, and I heard that there will be rewards for handing over the strange objects in your investigation bureau, so I will tell you."

"You mean, you want me to get the gem of doom, and then hand it over to the Bureau of Investigation to get a reward?"

"That's right, so Mr. Investigator is interested?"

"Have."

Lunier replied without hesitation.

Is that even a question?

This [Gem of Misfortune] is what he is looking forward to. It can bring bad luck to the recipient, encounter danger, and even kill the owner!

For others, it may be a pleasure to avoid, but for him, it is a lucky gift from God!

"Let's make an appointment at night." Lu Neil said, "I don't have any tasks tonight, around eight o'clock, okay?"

"Okay, I'll pick you up then."

"Then thank you in advance."

After seeing off Angela, Lu Nier returned to the team activity room, and then started the daily tasks.

Alonia was reading the novel while eating snacks, while Li Jie was in her room wondering what she was doing, and Lu Nier was rummaging through various materials provided by the Bureau of Investigation as usual, searching for Some dangerous information and intelligence.

"what……"

Lu Nier flipped through a book of "Special Odd Object Record File C", and suddenly found a familiar word.

"The Gem of Doom?"

第 129

Chapter 128 Triss' Worries

This gem seems to have been recorded by the Bureau of Investigation.

It is also a green gem that brings bad luck.

There is also the cause and effect of the Bureau of Investigation and this [Gem of Misfortune].

The cause was an investigator's task. At that time, the investigator's task was to capture a jewel thief. However, this task did not take long. It was not that the investigator was very capable, but...

The jewel thief turned himself in.

Because among the gems he stole, there was the [Gem of Misfortune]!

When he got the gem, it seemed that [Gem of Misfortune] had just transformed into a special strange object.

He himself is also a professional, and an E-level naturally awakened [gem thief], with a special characteristic that can distinguish the value of gems.

Although this special trait is useless, since he can naturally awaken as a professional, it shows that his own skills and abilities are indeed excellent.

Such a veteran has also committed many cases. The gems and property stolen are worth several million. It can be said that he is an old habitual offender.

however……

Ever since this jewel thief got the [Gem of Misfortune], his nightmare has come.

Leaving aside the trivial matter of choking on water and falling peacefully, he ate a meal and ended up eating a cockroach, which was still half...

I went to sleep at night, but halfway through my sleep, the bed suddenly collapsed. The reason was the aging of the material and the erosion of termites...

Bought a new bed and woke up itchy the next day only to find fleas in it!

Looking for a business theory, just arrived at the door of the store and was smashed on the head by the signboard...

Then the bad luck gradually escalated, and the experience of the gem thief became more and more miserable. Not only did he lose all the money he had accumulated, but he also accidentally exposed his identity. When he was arrested by investigators, he had just been hit by a carriage and broke his leg. ...

According to the investigator's account, the gem robber at that time crawled towards him with his broken leg while crying and said that he would surrender himself.

In fact, at that time, the jewel thief hadn't realized that all his misfortunes were due to that [Gem of Misfortune].

Then it was the investigator who found it.

Because when he confiscated the [Gem of Misfortune] as a witness and returned it to the shopkeeper who stole it, he found that the gem was beside him the next day...

This [Gem of Misfortune] is extremely hard and cannot be damaged by conventional means, or it is still unknown how to destroy it.

And once it recognizes its owner, it will follow its owner forever. Even if the owner abandons it or locks it in a safe, it will reappear by the owner's side within an hour and cannot get rid of it.

After getting it, there will only be a small amount of bad luck at the beginning, just like choking on food and drinking water, and being airborne by pigeon droppings when walking.

Then as time goes on, the bad luck will gradually escalate and become more and more terrible. In the end, you even have to be on guard against anything that may happen around you, because you don't know, maybe an inconspicuous pebble on the ground will have some kind of chain reaction. killed you.

The only way to crack this [Gem of Doom] is to hand it over to another person, making that person the new owner of the gem.

And that person must accept this gem willingly, not by force.

At that time, the Investigation Bureau managed this [Gem of Misfortune] by waiting for the owner of this gem, a death row prisoner, to make the gem unowned, and then seal it up forever.

However, after the owner dies, this gem will disappear looking for the next owner, so the investigation bureau has no permanent solution to it, and can only let it exist.

Fortunately, this thing will not cause much harm. As long as it is transferred in time, it will not be in any danger. Therefore, the investigation bureau's solution to this is that once it hears about the whereabouts of the [Gem of Misfortune], it will send an investigator to find it. The owner will explain the dangers of this gemstone, as for the subsequent matters, it will not be under the control of the Bureau of Investigation.

It is really that this [Gem of Misfortune] is too evil and unsolvable, and the Rare Object Management Department of the Bureau of Investigation does not want to manage this kind of thing.

But this also means that even if Lu Nier submits this [Gem of Misfortune], he will not get merit points.
