Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 351 Mutual Sanity Depletion

"That's exactly what I was going to tell you."

Rick placed the empty glass back on the table, then took out a densely written document and handed it to Milo, saying:

"This material and the series of physical evidence I've collected prove that the body parts belong to a mutated human species. Should we submit it?"

"Huh?" Milo gave Rick a look that said he was an idiot.

The latter shrank back, probably realizing what a stupid question he had asked, and said sullenly, "Then I guess I definitely won't submit it to the superiors. You can keep it."

He handed the documents to Milo.

Milo rolled up the documents and put them into his trench coat, then asked, "Have you found the cause of death?"

Rick shook his head: "It's strange. The body looks like it exploded out of thin air from the inside out. I've never seen a death like this before. It's like someone filled its belly with gunpowder or fuel. But no combustibles were found on the body parts, and there were no signs of burning. It just... doesn't make sense."

“Look, in the past six months you’ve eaten so many eggs from pagan priests and their kin, ingested so much high-quality protein. You need to open your mind a bit more, be a bit bolder.” Milo patted Rick on the shoulder: “Do you remember the prophecy of doom that the church told you about?”

“Of course I remember,” Rick nodded.

"What is the origin of prophecy?"

"Blood therapy".

What is a common characteristic among the victims in Naroben's series of murders?

"They all received blood therapy to cure the plague."

Have you come up with any ideas yet?

"There is."

"First, find out the information on Robben's daughter. She is very likely the first person in Nanwei City to undergo an anomaly."

The two communicated smoothly, and Rick's half-zombie mind worked very quickly, without holding him back at all. After being pointed out by Milo, he immediately plunged into the upstairs file room to search for the records of the deceased.

……

The Church has always been searching for the so-called calamity in the prophecy. Although the Monsis School has been expelled from the Covenant Organization, their prophecies have become a major concern for the Church. The Church once regarded Marshall's arrival as a calamity. They also paid close attention to a series of strange cases that had occurred in Nanwei City in the past. As a result, Dirasha became the most hated person in the entire Nanwei law enforcement system because whenever a murder occurred, this person would smell the scent and come to cause trouble.

Even the ravens are tracking the signs of impending doom; the night of the hunt is their pre-emptive preparation against potential disaster.

But neither the raven nor the Church's thinking eye are necessarily 100% accurate.

Because both of them have made wrong judgments, their vision is not necessarily much broader than Milo's, and their way of doing things always has a subtle theological characteristic, that is, a more emotional color in it, such as the Hunter Organization's almost gimmicky execution procedures and lines and slogans like "moonlight and the righteous path".

In contrast, Milo is actually more like the University of Michigan scholars who uphold rational scholarship and thinking.

Their approach to mysticism is very modern, which indirectly leads to a sharp decline in the number of investigators and professors at the University of Michigan year by year.

……

Twenty minutes later.

"Snapped."

Rick's compiled report was slapped in front of Investigator C by Milo.

"So, that's efficient enough, isn't it? After all that fuss, it wasn't actually the animals going crazy. So your school professors' animal sanity hypothesis and the animal plague virus the church talks about are all nonsense."

C blinked, then quickly flipped through the document Milo had provided. His gaze shifted from initial suspicion to doubt, and finally to utter shock and gravity. He muttered to himself:

"Hiss—there's such a thing?"

“I will continue to investigate this case, including the identity of the human who turned into a beast, the reason for the beast transformation, and the cause of its death. As for the 23 similar cases in other cities, you will have to handle them. Anyway, I have already provided the clues and ideas,” Milo said to C.

"No problem, this is a very important clue, a major discovery."

C put on his hat, gulped down most of the "spiritual nourishment" in his portable metal flask, then folded up the documents Milo had given him and put them in his briefcase. He then solemnly said to Milo:
"Stay connected, but also be careful. This isn't as simple as it seems."

"Why don't you take two of the old seals with you?" Milo suggested.

Since the Geragi incident, the three old seals that C left behind in Nanwei City have been kept by Milo. Milo has shamelessly never mentioned it. On the night of the hunt, in order to break through the fog wall, one of the old seals shattered into dust, and now only two remain.

Oh, by the way, adhering to the principle of never suffering a loss, Milo also tricked Monquia into giving him that old lightning-attracting seal. This thing is far more destructive than C's two, and regardless of whether it can cause much trouble for the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods, it is at least a divine artifact in terms of demolishing buildings.

“You should keep it. That thing might not work on beast-like creatures. This is enough.” C patted the pistol casing on his waist below his coat.

"Are you sure?" Milo narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, I'm sure." C nodded.

"The Miskatonic River basin is indeed very wealthy," Milo remarked.

Old seals can be given away casually.

“Wrong, wrong. You can’t imagine how stingy the professors are. But compared to that, your friendship is more important to the University of Michigan,” C said calmly.

"The last person to say something like that gave me a limited-edition premium VIP card from the Hedonistic House," Milo said thoughtfully.

C scoffed, "So what? Honestly, only sissies play with physically weak women. Real men have to do the old rulers."

"Do all of you investigators have such heavy tastes?" Milo shook his head.

“It’s just an example,” C waved his hand and continued, “Besides, the one who actually slept with the aliens was clearly yourself.”

Milo shrugged: "The advantage is that it's not easy to cause a death."

“There isn’t necessarily reproductive isolation between humans and Kunyang people,” C pointed out.

After he said that, Milo immediately became somewhat unsettled.

"Hey? Are you alright? You look like your sanity has been drastically reduced. I was just kidding." C quickly pulled out a portable flask and handed it to Milo: "Take a sip, take a sip, calm down."

After gulping down two mouthfuls of the fiery whiskey, Milo regained his composure: "You can't just make jokes like that."

"Sorry, sorry, I think you might be under a lot of stress lately," C said, shaking his head.

"Actually, it's not that big; it's all your fault."

Milo silently counted in his mind the number of times he and Grasso had engaged in deep conversations since their illicit relationship began.

He had absolutely no sense of being a father, not even a little bit. The key point was that in those days, the rubber industry was still in its infancy, and the stuff that could blow up balloons had not yet become widely available to the public.

……

"Oh right, that Ripper case that's been making headlines all over the place lately is pretty interesting, huh?"

C changed the subject, clearly knowing the story of the vampires at Cainhurst Castle who had an indescribable pattern tattooed on their faces, and Klaus's subsequent ordeal of being hung under his own chandelier.

After all, the reason why the vampires were initially able to enter Nanwei City was because the scholars and investigators from the University of Milo had informed Milo in advance and guaranteed the matter; otherwise, those bloodthirsty creatures would not have been able to enter the city.

Milo also asked C why the University of Milo maintained contact with these night creatures, since everyone knew what the Cainhursts had done to civilians in their territory over the years.

C responded that there was a research deal between the University of Michigan and the vampires, and the research object was the bloodline of this race. As long as the contract of the deal was still in effect, they had to assist the vampires in their free movement within the country.

Okay, it's all for research purposes.

In short, Klaus and his unfortunate sister Ariana must have told the University of Michigan about it, and then it naturally reached C.

After all, Milo had put a lot of pressure on the other side, and the vampires dared not make any rash moves, but they certainly couldn't swallow this insult.

...

“That Ripper… never mind, I don’t have time to deal with him right now.” Milo shook his head.

As he spoke, he suddenly recalled the erotic scene he had witnessed the previous night at the inn near the vampire manor, and suddenly became interested, asking C, "Do you think there is reproductive isolation between humans and vampires?"

C kept shaking his head:

"Believe me, it doesn't matter how beautiful those people with cold bodies are."

Milo looked at C, blinking thoughtfully, "Hmm... I feel like what you just said sounds like..."

"Oh no, my sanity dropped! Damn it, stop talking!" C mimicked Milo's earlier reaction, clutching his heart and changing the subject again.
