Chapter 132: Call of the Ancients (Part 2)
Marian felt that the branch head of Wu Ze was very unusual.
Although this person kept calling "Master Gu" on the surface and even had a timid attitude towards them, he was essentially a person who would never give up until he achieved his goal. She had no doubt that if she did not agree, he would continue to pester them in any way to solve the vampire problem.
In fact, in Marian's opinion, it was a fair deal. The people sent by Wu Ze had been driven out. He still felt that the little girls were cursed by vampires.
But it would be better to let Gu Yun go and see it in person, so as not to think that the alliance is doing something shameful in private.
Their styles are different from hidden gods. They have always only adopted open conspiracies and are disdainful to tinker with shameless means behind their backs.
Speaking of shame...
"Gu Yun, what do you think of that video?"
Leaving the building of the C-C Foundation branch, the car arranged by Marian had been waiting at the door. After the witch greeted the two of them, she asked Gu Yun for his opinion.
It was mainly because she was talking to Wu Ze, and Gu Yun had never expressed her own opinions throughout the whole process.
"I think that thing looks familiar, and I always feel like I've seen it somewhere."
The main reason why Gu Yun did not express his opinion is that he has been recalling where he had seen the monster. After thinking for a long time, he finally failed to get an accurate answer.
"It seems you can see that too, that guy is not a superior evil spirit."
After all, for Gu Yun, the upper-level evil spirit can only be classified as "irritable little animals" at best, and it is not worth Gu Yun recalling for such a long time. "I know a creature with a similar appearance to him."
"What creature?"
"Ancient Demon."
Marian said, "There is an existence called the King of the Flame Demons among the ancient demons. In a legend I have read, its body is made of lava, and everything wherever it goes will be burned to death by his flames - it's very much like the situation inside the fast restaurant."
"Oh, I finally remembered it!"
Gu Yun suddenly realized, "There was a demon named Bei, who had summoned it out before. Unfortunately, it was retracted before he had time to deal with it."
The reason why he didn't associate the two was that when he saw the King of Fire Demon, his body was as high as a building. He didn't expect that he would shrink so much after a few months.
It is also possible that after coming to this world, Huaxun ate too much, and Gu Yun silently guessed the reason.
"The video tape showed a lot of implicit information. I am now sure that the foundation employee did not die in an accident. Although I don't know the reason, the flame demon should have been for him at that time."
If it was an accident, the two sides should have at least a confrontation stage. However, the actual situation was that after the Flame Demon entered the restaurant, he burned everything in the store in less than a second. I am afraid that the foundation employee would die before he realized what had happened.
"And I think the water in City C is very deep and it doesn't seem as simple as we've seen."
While speaking, Marian looked back at the Foundation Branch Building that gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
Since meeting, Wu Ze has shown a strong desire to get rid of vampires, and has not taken the initiative to mention the fire. Since they have repaired the video, they have also rated it as a superior evil spirit. Normally, it is normal for Gu Yun to solve it.
Unless, while Wu Ze was determined to eliminate the vampires, he did not want to delve into the upper-level evil spirits who had instigated fire.
"With his eyes as the person in charge, we should be able to see the problems in the surveillance video."
"Can you think too much?"
Gu Yun thought about it from the perspective of others. He felt that if he discovered that the arsonist was a superior evil spirit, he would not delve into the other party's motives. He only needed to know when and where the other party would appear again.
"I hope so."
Before she finished speaking, her phone screen lit up, and it was a new unread text message.
She unlocked the screen, glanced at the text message briefly, and then showed a "very sure" expression, "It seems that I did not wrong him - when I went out, I had asked the nearby witch to go to the employee's house to investigate, but one step later, his computer had been cleared."
Burning the people in the restaurant is the means of the Flame Demon, but the Flame Demon is not sneaking into the deceased's home and clearing the deceased's computer.
"The person in charge said just now that the dead civilian staff was mainly responsible for contacting the headquarters before taking leave. Could it be that he happened to discover some secret during the vacation that caused the silence."
Marian speculated, "And the other party has a great face. He can actually invite the King of Fire Demon to play the role of a killer. A person with such a big face may only be able to know Hidden God, right?"
She even disdains to point out something, but directly points out the name of the Hidden God Society.
Considering Wu Ze's identity and his efforts to clarify the relationship between the dead employee and the arsonist, she felt that the person in charge was most likely to have a certain role in the whole matter.
Therefore, Marian also suspected Wu Ze's identity.
In Gu Yun's words, this person is Chen Jiang's loyal friend and one of the supporters who supported them from the headquarters. It is precisely because of this relationship that they did not take any precautions against Wu Ze from the beginning.
Now it seems that Wu Ze also has a big problem.
After taking a flight for several hours, she got off the plane and rushed to the foundation without stopping. Marianne was already a little tired. She now urgently needed a beauty sleep to avoid wrinkles.
She decided to temporarily put Wu Ze's problem behind her. The limitations of the detective profession are too great, and many things make her more annoyed the more she thinks. If it were normal, "suspicion" would be enough for her to use unconventional means to force her to ask some secrets from Wu Ze.
Now, without decisive evidence, Gu Yun should not support his behavior.
What's more, if she makes a mistake, it will directly lead to her image in Gu Yun's mind.
"Let's go back to the hotel and get your luggage down. Don't you still have to go to Eric's territory tonight?"
"good."
Gu Yun nodded in agreement, and at the same time he also thought secretly about the rationality of Marian's speculation.
But after thinking about it, there was no result. After all, all his understanding of Wu Ze came from Chen Jiang. In fact, he did not know the person in charge of City C.
So he took out Chen Jiang's number from the address book and dialed it in.
The phone rang twice and then connected.
"Chen Jiang, I encountered some problems in City C."
Gu Yun went straight to the topic, "A fire case happened here, and the arsonist was likely to be the flame demon..."
However, before he could continue to say it, Chen Jiang on the other end of the phone interrupted him, "You said the Flame Demon? It's impossible. Did you make a mistake? The Flame Demon has been killed a few days ago."
