This is a stack of photographs containing five victims, some of whose bodies are still intact and some are decomposed, and Buck explains to Heidi: "Three days ago, due to the damage to the magic circle in Claire's alchemy workshop, some of the alchemists on the night shift left early, and when they returned to the Sadney district through the Egret District, they heard the screams of the victims of the first photo, so they approached the place under the guidance of a magic apprentice-level supervisor. ” "Maybe the murderers found them in advance, there was only this body at the scene, and the footprints were also erased by the cruel and calm murderers, and later, we found four hidden corpses in nearby remote areas, sewers and other places, all the internal organs disappeared, and there were no clues left."
Heidi bowed her head slightly: "Judging from the degree of decay, this serial murder may have been earlier than we thought, and the number of deaths must have been more than we thought, but why just bury instead of trying to destroy the body" "It's a hassle to completely and unobtrusively destroy the body, and there are no piranhas in the rivers near Rentat, unless they are moved in."
Buck judged by the murderer's magic or knight's strength, which is a more common sense inference, if the murderer really has a strong strength, he must have a position that matches his strength, why bother with these poor people Heidi looked at the photos over and over again, and casually asked, "Is there an investigation into missing persons in recent months?"
Buck said with a bitter face: "The Egret District is a slum, full of people from all over the kingdom who come to Rentat looking for opportunities, and even the gang bosses in the slums can't figure out who is missing and who is leaving."
Heidi put down the photo: "Take me to see the body and the scene, it's hard to tell the story in black and white." ” She has an inexplicable sense of importance to this kind of murder case that takes all the internal organs and feels very weird.
Buck was thinking about how to suggest Heidi to go to the morgue and the slum scene, and when he heard her request, he was naturally relieved, and quickly got up and said, "Ma'am, please." ” As he spoke, he walked briskly to his police car, opened the door next to it, and waited until Heidi got into the car before he circled around and entered the driver's seat, twisting the key to make the steel monster roar low and low.
"The size of the car has finally shrunk," Heidi sighed as she looked at the comfortable environment inside.
Buck laughed and said, "If it was as large as before, it would not be possible to drive on the streets, thanks to the gentlemen magicians who simplified the requirements for alchemy circles and materials, and found a new energy source to partially replace the magic steam engine" In the condition of most of the streets of Lentat, only one primitive alchemy car can be driven, in addition, even the carriage is difficult to pass, after the improvement, most of the streets can be two in parallel, and do not occupy the sidewalk, of course, the price of this alchemy car is also very expensive, only the big nobles and some kingdom departments are equipped with it, Buck, the real power figure of the police department, is not qualified to drive this car if he is not receiving Heidi today.
Heidi touched the metal car door, feeling the cold texture: "If it weren't for the contributions of Reilia and Katrina in the synthesis of materials, how could the requirements of the alchemy circle be so easily reduced" She is very aware of the difficulty of simplifying these things, but fortunately, thanks to the guidance of new alchemy in the past few years, the field of elemental and alchemy has been greatly developed, and there have been many breakthroughs in the synthesis and refining of materials, which not only have the contributions of Arcanists of the Atomic Research Institute such as Reilia, Katrina, Lazar, and Roque, but also the efforts of thousands of magicians such as Larry, Ulysses, Timothy, K, etc.
The field of materials is perhaps the place where countless experiments need to be accumulated the most, except for the use of prophecy to eliminate many wrong paths, there is no luck.
The dwarves brought the design concept of the steam civilization era to the magicians, which also inspired the magicians to simplify the alchemy car and purify the production of high-energy coal-burning elements, and at the same time, they also began to look for new energy alternatives, such as solar energy stored in the energy pool in advance like the magic tower, and other combustibles that contain more energy.
In this regard, thanks to the mages who have seen a lot of information, and with the help of allies such as elves, who do not know how many thousands of years have been inherited, progress has been made quickly.
Thinking of the earth-shaking changes in the Magical Council and the Four Kingdoms of the Straits, Heidi couldn't help but be slightly excited, excited that she was living in such an era.
"Maybe I don't have the talent of Annick and Sprint in the micro field, and I don't have the sensitivity and patience of Katrina and Reilia to materials, but I believe that I will definitely be able to make a breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence and win the Holm Crown Award."
Heidi clenched her fists to motivate herself, thinking that alchemy items without soul participation could also have the ability to deal with most problems, and even surpass most arcanists in some aspects, and she couldn't help but get excited when she thought of what kind of wonderful changes would happen when soul fragments were fused into such alchemy items in the later stage, and among the six students of the teacher, only herself and Cherie had not won the highest honor in a certain field Buck drove the alchemy car, watching the road intently without squinting, very cautiously: "Ma'am, let's go to the morgue of Violet Hospital first. ” "Okay."
Heidi has no opinion, and also wants to visit the hospital system jointly run by the kingdom and the Magic Council, which initially makes ordinary believers understand that not only the Cult of God of Truth can heal, but also the Magic Council Buck didn't dare to snub the distinguished guest, so he kept looking for a topic: "The speed of the alchemy car is not fast enough, the future development direction should no longer be to reduce the volume, but to enhance the activation of magic arrays and energy, I have seen from the arcane and magic heralds, the three lords of the storm master, atomic control, and elemental dominator, have completed the initial theory of elemental decay, is it possible to use decay energy to drive alchemy cars in the future" "Is it nuclear-powered" Heidi's surname has always been lively, and he couldn't help laughing, Buck is a typical kind of person who only understands a few terms after reading the newspaper, and the research in the direction of nuclear power is the main research project of the Atomic Research Institute, led by the teacher himself, Jerome, Lazar, Mr.
Roque and himself and others are in rotation, this cutting-edge and terrifying energy source is probably not even available to most high-level magicians, let alone refining gold cars.
After laughing a few times, she deliberately joked: "When our research institute completes the miniaturization and civilian use of the magnetic confinement controllable nuclear fusion alchemy device, it should be able to make the alchemy car very fast."
Magnetic confinement controllable nuclear fusion is the final goal of the professor's research project, which is the final energy source for Alinge, the city in the sky, and it is still far from success, and I don't know how many decades will see the light of day, after all, even decay nuclear energy is still looking for a way to use it smoothly.
"Magnetically confined, controlled, nuclear fusion alchemy device" Buck repeatedly "chewed" on this lengthy but extremely mysterious and cool phrase, and when he returned, he could shock his colleagues and relatives again, this is the real frontier of arcane art, not the outdated things mentioned in the Herald, this is what Ms.
Heidi of the Atomic Research Institute said At this time, a beautiful white building appeared in the eyes of the two, Buck stepped on the pedal, let the alchemy car stop at the door of the "Violet" hospital, and then quickly got out of the car, went around to the other side, and pulled the car door in a standard gentleman's attitude: "Ma'am, it's here." ” Heidi got out of the car and looked at the hospital, nodding slightly, neater than expected, faintly a little sacred, the necromantic guys still have such a side Pushing open the glass door, Buck led Heidi to the morgue, all the doctors and nurses in white coats were met along the way, they were all specially selected necromantic magic apprentices and low-level magicians who were biased towards medical treatment, this hospital is not only a place for them to treat patients and help the injured, but also an experimental place to verify certain ideas and magic, therefore, this selection was not forced, but many magicians enthusiastically signed up.
Of course, experiments without permission will be severely punished by the Magical Council's Disciplinary Department.
At present, the "Violet" hospital has been open for a year, because the magic potions, alchemy equipment, etc. are made by themselves and provided by the council, so the price is relatively cheap, and the reputation is naturally very good, and the doctors and nurses have also been given a nondescript name "magic angel" by the people of Rentat.
As he walked, there was a noisy sound in front of him, and many nurses and doctors were asking about something around a tall and thin man in black, and his attitude was very excited and excited.
Looking at the sickly-looking man, Heidi sighed, "Mr.
Felipe is very sought after by necromancers in the medical field." ” "Today, Mr.
Felipe is here to explain the contents of human anatomy and cellular memory to the doctors and nurses of Violet Hospital."
Buck explained to Heidi, looking at Felipe's gaze in awe, who was said to be able to make a lump of flesh grow back into a man Heidi didn't pay any attention and went to the morgue with Buck, a clear voice coming from behind.
"Mr.
Felipe, I have one more question about the dissection" "Professor Felipe, in the field of cellular memory" Suddenly, Felipe spoke gloomily: "Don't call me Professor. ” "Ah" The little nurse who spoke was stunned for a moment, why according to the standards of the Holt School of Magic, the professor is an honorific title.
Heidi, who had her back to them, chuckled, causing Buck to look at her for some reason.
"Nothing."
Heidi waved her hand.
Turning the corner, the morgue appeared in front of the two men, and Buck opened the door and stepped into this eerie and cold place.
Placing the five bodies side by side, Heidi studied them carefully, and by this time, she was no longer a lady, but an arcane.
After a long time, Heidi frowned slightly and said: "Judging from the knife marks, the method of taking the internal organs, and other aspects, it was the four murderers who killed these five people, and they did not care about the damage to the internal organs. ” "Gang crime," Buck asked solemnly.
Heidi did not answer, but took five balls of flesh from each of the five corpses: "Take me to the scene." ” She had a vague idea
