A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

"That's him. Do you know Henry?" Levi asked.

"He often passes by here when he goes to school, and he often asks me questions. Sometimes I give him a few cookies I baked myself." The wife said with a smile.

"You have to know that children from wealthy families like him almost always go to school by car, but he always takes the tram. This is a good habit."

"My son has gone to other cities to do business, and I am the only one living here. Haha, I always feel a sense of intimacy when looking at such a young man."

"Oh, you don't mind nagging, do you, sir?"

"It's nothing." Although he said this, Levi couldn't help but say, "Do you still remember his situation that day?"

The old lady raised her head and recalled: "Henry passed by here that afternoon. Let me think about it... It was already a little dark at that time, about 7 p.m., and Henry said hello to me."

"Do you know Miss Karina?"

"Oh, it's Henry's girlfriend. Henry thought I mentioned her, and he also said that her birthday was coming up, and he smiled when he mentioned it."

"Did Henry say anything else to you?" Levi asked.

"He said he had prepared gifts and booked a coffee shop for the date, but he didn't seem as happy as he should be..." the old lady put her right index finger to her lips and recalled, "He seemed a little worried. But it doesn’t seem to be about Miss Karina.”

"Sorry, Henry didn't tell me what he was worried about."

Worry... However, Levi thought of something.

Henry is one of the cadres of the "Labor Life Improvement Organization", a charity organization composed of young people dedicated to easing the relationship between labor and enterprises, including helping workers find cheap rental housing and improving their social welfare.

They have a foundation of their own, with Serra High School, the city government and the Bank de Lausanne as the largest investors.

Maybe Henry also knew about the workers? I don’t know if it has something to do with his murder... Harrison’s name popped up in Levi’s mind again. If this line is true, then Harrison is definitely not related to it.

But the problem is... Henry is just a small cadre of this foundation, and this foundation is not powerful enough to influence the situation.

The contradiction lies here.

And if Harrison was not involved, then no one else would have the ability and motivation to control Eli the Butcher to commit the crime.

In that case, it means that Levi is overthinking.

"Was he alone at that time?" After deciding to visit the Labor Life Improvement Foundation, Levi continued to ask.

"Yes..." the old lady replied, with a hint of doubt on her brow.

"Mr. Investigator, was little Henry involved in something?"

Levi then remembered that Henry had not been buried yet, and his death had been kept secret. Ordinary neighbors like the old lady could not know.

"Well, some not-so-good things." After hesitating for a moment, Levi said vaguely.

"Who else passed by here that day? Preferably someone who looks a little strange, or a stranger you've never met before."

The old lady shook her head: "You have to know that I can't remember everyone who passes by here."

"Does it look like someone is following Henry? Or someone who passed by here immediately after he passed by?" Levi took a step back and asked again.

But the old lady thought about it and was still confused: "If someone is following Henry, I will definitely call the police. There were only a few people who lived here who passed by that day. They are all good people and they don't seem to do bad things." Gangster."

"That's it..." Levi said a little disappointed.

However, this kind of answer is expected. It is unrealistic to expect real people to know important information like passers-by and villagers in RPG.

"Mr. Investigator." However, just when Levi was about to leave, the old lady suddenly grabbed him.

"Can you tell me what happened to Henry? The things you came to ask about... make me a little uneasy."

Levi turned his head and met the old lady's eyes. There was prayer in the latter's eyes, which was a rare look in the eyes of the elderly.

"He died. He was killed." Levi replied.

"This..." the old lady looked shocked, "How could this happen? Did he get into trouble with some bad guy? Or was he a robber?"

"I don't know, I'm sorry." Levi said in a low voice, "But my job is to investigate what happened to him during his lifetime."

The old lady slowly let go of her hand, her face stained with sadness, as if she had not fallen from shock into the pool of sadness until now.

"Henry's parents are still helping us track down the murderer, and his body is still placed in the morgue." Levi said softly, "Please don't disturb them... But I think when everything is over, they will You are invited to attend Henry’s funeral.”

The old lady didn't respond, just wiped her tears and nodded.

……

Afterwards, Levi visited other residents, but they either knew nothing, or they were similar to what the old lady said, and there was nothing interesting.

After visiting the last household in the area he was responsible for, Levi returned to the agreed gathering place.

It's near Brown's house. The two streets are not far apart and can be reached on foot, so I stopped by to visit them both.

Before long, Field and Martha came back.

"How are you doing?" Levi asked.

Field responded by shaking his head.

"Okay." Levi looked at Martha again.

"I didn't ask anything." Martha lowered her head.

"What about you?" Field asked.

"Thanks to the certificate, at least I wasn't kicked out by the residents." Levi spread his hands.

What this means is that nothing is gained.

Field sighed: "But this is considered normal. Just get used to it."

"Where do we go next?"

Levi thought for a while, and many alternatives popped up in his mind, so he said:

"Is there anything you want to investigate?"

Field shook his head and simply replied: "I listen to you."

Martha gave the same answer, which made Levi a little confused.

There are three directions: visit Miss Karina, visit Mr. Harrison, and visit the Labor Life Improvement Foundation.

Harrison has a high status and is now at the forefront. The manual states that investigations of such objects require registration and advance notification.

The Labor Life Improvement Foundation is fine, but the purpose of visiting this organization is actually Harrison.

In comparison, perhaps visiting Miss Karina is more meaningful.
