Chapter 2 The special murder case in Hongye Town!
There are always some cases in the magic world that extraordinary police stations can handle. The Church of Light has the power to investigate, but the church has fewer law enforcement agencies, and most of its energy is to punish those supernatural power owners who blaspheme the church. They have no time to take into account the secular supernatural power incidents. In order to ensure the safety of the kingdom's residents, the king and the leader of the church of Light jointly signed a document to establish the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau, which works under the supervision of both parties, and the salary is paid by the Kingdom's finance.
Members of the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau are mainly recruited from members of the Magic Association. Therefore, to become a formal agent of the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau, you need to become a member of the Magic Association first.
In desperation, Cheng Xiao could only temporarily become a temporary worker in the Supernatural Incident Investigation Bureau.
During this period, due to his good work performance, he was recognized by all agents from the local paranormal incident investigation bureau, and the agents unanimously elected Tang Ning as a formal agent.
But this recommendation has no effect on the dogmatic Alex. He refused with righteous words because the temporary worker did not enter the Magic Society and directly summoned to the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau. Once he met an evil fellow with supernatural power, it would be a devastating blow to Tangning.
The agents finally found a persuasive reason.
"Downing has special abilities in supernatural powers, because he lives like a normal person without a soul or body. This is itself a special ability, a kind of supernatural power."
The supernatural powers in this world are divided into twelve types, namely: elve magic, dark magic, ancient magic, summoning magic, great ritual magic, illusion, enchantment, special abilities, spells, divine magic, transformation/transformation, sacred magic/darkness.
The definition of special abilities is the ability that magical creatures are born with. The principles are the same as magical spells, but there are no chanting, rituals, etc.
However, in the face of this reason, Alex still chose to refuse!
So he could only continue to work here as a temporary worker and wait for the turnaround.
Unexpectedly, I worked for two years and finally saw a glimmer of hope.
...
While looking down at the card in my hand, noisy footsteps came from outside the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau.
Tang Ning quickly put away the card, got up and quickly walked to the door of the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau.
The door was knocked open, and a strange middle-aged man was wearing a black windbreaker and his chest was a bit dazzling.
Following behind him, many members of the Supernatural Events who had left before were in a row, their faces were solemn.
Tang Ning retreated aside and watched everyone enter the large conference room on the first floor of the Bureau of Investigation, and then the door was closed heavily.
What happened?
He lowered his head and guessed that the atmosphere of the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau had never been so serious.
I arrived at the door of the conference with curiosity, and my ears were pressed against the black and red painted door to eavesdrop.
There was a "bang".
A black and red painted door opened and a familiar agent stuck out his head.
Tang Ning quickly took his head back and was thinking about how to explain his behavior just now. The agent spoke.
"Tangning, come in quickly and don't stand there."
Tang Ning was stunned. After coming to his senses, he walked over and entered the room. There were dark heads below, and the atmosphere was equally solemn. The middle-aged man stood in front of everyone.
The door closed again, and the agent who had just called Tang Ning to come in raised his right hand and pressed it on his chest to salute. This was the etiquette of the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau when he saw his boss and then spoke up.
"Director Cross, this is Downing Stewart we recommend."
Downing is still puzzled. Informal members are prohibited from attending the Bureau of Investigation for the Paranormal Events, and he has to wait for a week to become a full member...
The middle-aged man on the stage nodded.
"Downing Stewart, as the new director, I formally appoint you as the official agent of the Red Leaf Town Supernatural Incident Investigation Bureau."
"The new director? Will not officially take office in a week and hold the handover ceremony with Mr. Alex?" Tang Ning's mind was filled with a question mark as he listened to the description of the middle-aged man.
The new director did not intend to explain to the newcomer, his voice was solemn and serious.
“Time is a bit tight now, and your badge will be distributed in a week.”
Because of these doubts just now, Tang Ning's brain was completely blank. After a familiar colleague whispered a low message, he came back to his senses and walked to the empty seat.
Cross immediately issued the order.
"Chief Alex was killed an hour ago, and someone tried to challenge the authority of law enforcement. We must find the murderer to bring it to justice within a week, otherwise Red Leaf Town will turn into a joke."
Director Alex was killed...
Tang Ning finally understood why the new director took office quickly and became a regular in advance.
Next is to assign work.
Director Cross will take five agents to the murder scene.
The remaining agents need to go out and immediately conduct a visit and investigation of the owners of supernatural forces within the Red Leaf Town, including registered members of the Magic Society and members in a hidden state.
There is no doubt that Director Alex, who can kill magic, must be the owner of supernatural powers who can do magic, and there is no problem with his thinking.
After the meeting quickly, all members immediately go to the assigned area.
When they left the door, they sat in a specially assigned carriage. The two people who were walking with Tang Ning looked solemn, as if to commemorate Alex's passing. The light rain like pine needles in the night sky began to fall, and the unpleasant smell of flying dust and feces mixed together was now restrained.
The horse's hooves made a clattering sound, and Vertonheng, who was sitting opposite, broke the peace.
"Alex is a good man. He will retire in one week. He could have enjoyed time with his wife, but now... it's really unacceptable."
Erwin, who was traveling with him, patted Veltonheng on the back.
"What we can do now is to find out the murderer, so that Alex can accept the mercy of heaven in a week and ascend to heaven."
According to the Church of Light, a person will be resurrected one week after death and will be judged by heaven and hell to determine whether the soul of the dead will ascend to heaven or fall into hell.
Compared to the rest of the people, Tang Ning's mood is a bit complicated at this moment.
At that time, Alex recruited himself, who was completely unable to practice magic, to the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau. In this matter, he was indeed a good person, but the old-fashioned Alex rejected the joint proposal of most agents to recruit himself as a formal member several times on the grounds of doctrine.
He gave himself a chance, but he also hindered himself from achieving his ultimate goal.
If Alex is impeccable in dealing with people, he is a real good person.
