Although the Monte family has withdrawn from the core circle of Belluc City, its influence still exists after all, and it also has certain relationships with other powerful families in Belluc City. At present, hundreds of members of this family, including their servants, have disappeared.

, this will naturally arouse great excitement in the city of Beiluq.

At that time, all the criminal police detectives in the entire Beluke City were asked to suspend their work and investigate the disappearance case. Even later, because there was no result for a long time, the powerful people in Beluke City even recruited many well-known detectives from other places with high salaries.

, a police detective came to assist the local police detectives in investigating the disappearance case, but unfortunately the investigation lasted for nearly half a year, almost all possible clues were found, and as many as 100,000 people were mobilized. However, the progress of the investigation of the disappearance case and

It was the same at the beginning, there was no progress, and all the clues were still the same ones from the beginning.

Solander did not think that his ability to handle cases could be better than those of the police detectives at that time. In fact, many of the people who participated in handling the cases at that time were legends in the criminal investigation world. The cases that these people participated in are now written into

In the Pickett Field textbook, someone even erected a statue in the square of Pickett Field. As far as the criminal investigation profession is concerned, Solander is almost certain that the ten of himself combined are not as good as any of the legendary detectives.

But after Solander saw the disappearance of the Monte family, an unsolved case that so many legendary detectives could not solve, she was very sure that she was definitely more suitable to handle this case than those legendary detectives, and she might even be able to solve this case.

The reason why she thinks so is not because she is arrogant, but because this case may be a special case in her opinion, a case that cannot be solved by normal detectives. This case may be related to some occult science, cult or

Related to supernatural powers.

As for whether supernatural forces really exist, no one has a definite answer. I believe that some people will naturally believe it. Unless people who don’t believe have seen supernatural forces with their own eyes, it will be difficult to change their minds. And Solander

Knocking it off is an unbeliever who changes his mind.

The case that gained her great fame and helped her break through many obstacles in one fell swoop became the only female police officer to graduate as a criminal police officer outside of Pickett Field. The case was nominally just an ordinary vendetta case, but in fact it was a murder case.

Supernatural powers were involved, and after handling that case, in addition to gaining fame, she also gained some supernatural powers that she could not mention to others.

During her time in Beluk City, she also used the supernatural power she had acquired to solve the supernatural things that existed in several blocks. This also made her realize that supernatural things are not as far away as she imagined. In fact, there are many

Supernatural things happen around us, but ordinary people don't know about it, and most of those who know it choose to hide it, because if these things are spread, they will definitely cause panic in the world, and the more ordinary people know, the easier it is for some unpredictable things to happen.

disaster.

These were all told by another person of her kind who had supernatural powers when she was dealing with something supernatural. She and that person also became good friends, and they often deal with supernatural things together.

Originally, according to her idea, she should go to the Monte family's manor villa with her kindred spirit, but unfortunately that kindred spirit went to a nearby city for business in the past two days, so she could only go to find out what was going on by herself first, and get to know the situation a little bit.

.

Solander had also heard about the case of the Monte family, but she initially did not think that this case was any different from other unsolved kidnapping cases. In her opinion, the reason why it received so much attention at the time was completely

Because of the powerful status of the Monte family.

But after reading the files today, she discovered that this case was not an ordinary mass kidnapping case, but an illegal sacrifice case that might be related to a cult, because when searching the entire manor, the searchers were in the basement of the manor.

As well as the bottom of the pavilion at the four corners, a large number of bones were found.

However, these skeletons are not human, but animal, and no such thing as an altar has been found. Just draw a few straight lines from where the bones are buried to where other bones are buried, and they form a cross-hatch square, and the intersection

The line square happens to be the emblem of a cult church.

Apart from these skeletons, no useful clues were found in the entire manor and villa. The entire manor and villa was tidy, as if the Monte family had cleaned the entire villa before leaving.

Another special feature is the construction materials used in the manor villa. Except for a few stone pillars used as load-bearing columns in the main body of the villa, all other materials are black camphor wood that only grows in swamps.

Although this kind of black camphor wood has moisture-proof and insect-proof effects, because the trunk of the black camphor wood is not high or big, it is not suitable as a building material. However, this villa is built with black camphor wood as the main material.

It was completed, which shows that the Monte family spent a lot of experience and money to build this villa.

The detective who discovered this at the time didn't know whether he deliberately ignored it or really didn't know. He just regarded it as the Monte family's special hobby for building materials. But Solander knew very well that in many folklore

The black camphor wood has always been used to build altar materials to communicate with evil gods, and what she has recently mastered is that she also knows that the special quality black camphor wood can attract some supernatural things to gather after being processed in certain ways.

From the beginning, Solander had no intention of starting with the disappearance of the Monte family as a normal case, because all normal methods of handling the case had already been tried that year.

For example, some people think that the Monte family may use this method of disappearance to avoid debts because of some huge debts. But in fact, the debt situation of the Monte family is very good, there is no possibility of avoiding debts, and so many people want to leave Beru.

He could only reach the city by train without leaving any clues, but the final fact was that no trace of his family's departure was found.

So after she focused the case on supernatural events, some of the useless clues found in this case became a hidden thread, and were connected to the symbols and construction materials of the manor villa.

Although Solander has not investigated the situation in the villa on the spot, she already feels that this case should be a supernatural case.

There is only one bus line from the city to the Great North Point District. After all, the Great North Point District is a rich manor area. Since the emergence of gas vehicles, almost all residents here have bought a gas vehicle for travel. This makes

Buses have become redundant. If there were not some servants working in rich manors who needed to go back to the city to rest, this bus route might have been canceled by the bus company that was reducing expenses.

Solander happened to take this bus when she got off work, so the bus was almost empty. Except for her sitting in the back seat, there were only two or three people sitting sporadically in the front seat. These people were Heba

Judging from their attire and behavior, they should be Heba slaves who had just escaped from the south.

As the Union Prime Minister announced the abolition of slavery and seven northern states abolished slavery, a large number of Heba slaves escaped from the southern plantations and came to the North. In order to support the Union Prime Minister's policy, the northern industrial and commercial elites

More or less, several slaves who escaped from the south would be hired, so Solander felt that these Heba people should be this type of hired former slaves.

Because there are many powerful people in the Greater North Point District, the road leading from the city to the Greater North Point District is also very well built. There are no bumps in the bus and it travels very fast. It didn't take long for it to be lost. It was estimated that it was about

We will reach the Great North Point area in less than ten minutes.

Solander, who was in the back seat, turned his attention away from the moving scenery outside the window, took out a pistol from his pocket, took out the ordinary bullets and put it away, then took out some special bullets and stuffed them into the magazine.

.

She bought these bullets from the same kind of person, and they were specially used to deal with some supernatural objects. Although the price is a bit expensive and is a hundred times more than ordinary bullets, for Solander, this thing is indeed very useful, and he has solved previous encounters.

These bullets helped her a lot when she was experimenting with supernatural powers.

In addition to the bullets, she also took out a lens with a special pattern on its surface and put it on her right eye.

Although she can also see some supernatural things through her supernatural powers, all she sees are blurry images, but this lens allows him to see more clearly.

Finally, she took out a small knife the size of her palm and stuffed it into a hidden leather sheath on her left wrist.

She is so confident that she can still escape unscathed even if she encounters something supernatural. In addition to her own supernatural abilities and the pistol loaded with special bullets, more confidence comes from the knife obtained in the past case.

.

According to the determination of the same kind, this knife should be a ceremonial knife used by the priests of the ancient god of suffering. Its function is to use the knife to scratch one's body, causing pain, and then giving the user some special powers, and the greater the wound and pain caused.

, the stronger the power given.

The God of Passion was a popular deity in the ancient Old World. He was criticized a long time ago for his teachings that encouraged people to harm themselves. Later, during the struggles of several churches, he was squeezed out of the old way. Even when he came to the New World, he was

Still not as popular as Protestantism, it eventually disappeared.

In the past, Solander was a little disgusted with the various gods mentioned by the church, and believed that those gods did not exist. However, after getting the knife, she gradually realized that the gods might really exist, but they could not be recognized by others.

Just see it.

She once secretly tried this knife and made a few cuts on herself. Then she could feel that her supernatural power had increased. This was also the main reason why she was confident that she could leave safely after encountering supernatural forces.

.

As the driver pulled the valve and extinguished the gas engine, the bus gradually slowed down and stopped in front of the last platform in the Great North Point District. Solander stood up and walked towards the door.

At this time, the platform was already crowded with workers from villas and estates who were off duty. They crowded in as soon as the door opened, scrambling for seats around them, making it very chaotic.

This also made it very difficult for Solander to get out of the car. Even though she was very strong, she couldn't help but take a breath when she walked out of the car. Her clothes became messy, and her sensitive parts had been touched several times just now.

The disgusting guy touched it and there were still palm prints on it.

Although Solander was a little annoyed that her sensitive parts were touched, she had no way to pursue it because there were so many people just now and she couldn't even remember who touched her.

So she could only swallow her anger and forget about this bad thing for the time being. After her body recovered, she dusted off the dust and traces on her body, tidied her clothes, and then headed towards the location of the Monte family manor deep in the Great North Point District.

Go.

Because this place is full of villas and estates, with various trees and forests on both sides of the road, you can't see anyone after walking for a long time, making it seem a bit quiet.

However, in order to ensure the security of the area, the wealthy and powerful people in the Greater North Point District spent money to hire a security team to protect the safety of the Greater North Point District. These security personnel usually do not appear in front of people, but hide in the dark.

, pay attention to suspicious persons appearing in the Greater North Point area.

For example, after Solander entered the inner forest trail of the Great North Point District, she felt that she was being watched. There were at least two pairs of eyes staring at her when she walked around, especially at her waist.

Gun, but perhaps because she didn't do anything extraordinary, those people didn't come forward to question her.

Solant walked very fast, and after about ten minutes, he had reached the area of ​​Monte Manor.

Monte Manor has been abandoned for a long time. The daily maintenance is carried out by a committee in the Great North Point District. This committee obviously does not spend much money and experience to maintain this haunted house, which is well-known in the elite circles. Therefore, the private forest of the manor can be said to be

It is overgrown with weeds and trees without construction grow wildly, making it look very chaotic.

After turning the corner of a simple stone wall, Solant came to the main entrance of Monte Manor. What puzzled her was that the door that should have been closed, locked, and sealed was now open.

, an obvious carriage mark can be seen on the ground running over a thick layer of dead leaves, and judging from the marks, it should have just appeared not long ago, which means that there are other people in the Monte family manor at this moment.

.

With curiosity and doubts, Solant entered the manor, followed the traces of the carriage on the ground through the passage formed by the bow-shaped tree canopy, bypassed an artificial lake and a small square, and arrived in front of the manor villa at the end.
