This is a stack of photos containing five victims, some of the bodies are still well preserved, some have decomposed, and Buck explained to Heidi from the side: "Three days ago, due to the damage to the magic circle in the 'Claire' alchemy workshop, some of the night shift alchemists left early, and when they passed through the 'Egrets' area and returned to the 'Sadney' area, they heard the screams of the victims in the first photo, so they approached the place under the leadership of a magic apprentice-level supervisor."
"Perhaps the murderers discovered them in advance, and there was only this body at the scene, and the footprints were erased by the cruel and calm murderer.
Heidi nodded slightly: "Judging from the degree of decomposition, this serial murder may have occurred earlier than we think, and the number of deaths must be higher than we think, but why just bury it and not find a way to destroy the body?"
"It's troublesome to destroy the corpse completely and unobtrusively, and there are no piranhas in the rivers near Rentatt unless they are moved to the Black Forest." If the murderer really has strong strength, he must have a status that matches his strength, so why can't he get along with these poor people?
Heidi looked at the photos over and over again, and asked casually: "Is there an investigation of missing persons in recent months?"
Buck said with a bitter face: "Egret District is a ghetto, full of people from all over the kingdom who come to Rentat to look for opportunities, and the frequency of population movement is extremely high, even the gang bosses in the ghetto 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, just black and white photos are hard to explain."
She has an inexplicable sense of importance about this kind of murder case in which all internal organs are taken away, and she feels very strange.
Buck was thinking about how to suggest Heidi go to the morgue and the slum scene, and when he heard her take the initiative to ask, he was naturally relieved, and quickly got up and said, "Ma'am, please."
As he spoke, he quickly walked to his police car, opened the door, and waited until Heidi got in the car before going around into the driver's seat, twisting the key to make the steel monster make a roaring low sound.
"The volume of the car has finally shrunk......" Heidi looked at the comfortable environment inside and sighed sincerely.
Buck laughed: "If it were as big as before, it would be impossible to drive on the streets, thanks to the magicians who simplified the alchemy circle, lowered the requirements for materials, and found new energy to partially replace the magic steam engine......"
Most of the streets of Rentat can only drive one primitive alchemy car, in addition, even the carriage is difficult to pass, after improvement, most of the streets can be two in parallel and do not occupy the sidewalk, of course, the price of this alchemical car is also very expensive, only the great nobles and some kingdom departments are equipped with it, Buck, the real power figure of the police department, if it is not Heidi today, he is not qualified to drive this car.
Heidi touched the metal door and felt the cold texture: "If it weren't for the contributions of Leilia and Katrina in material synthesis, how could the requirements of the alchemy circle be lowered so easily......"
She knew very well how difficult it was to simplify these things, but fortunately, thanks to the guidance of New Alchemy in the past few years, the field of elements and alchemy has developed greatly, and there have been many breakthroughs in material synthesis and refining.
This includes not only the contributions of Arcanists from the Atomic Research Institute such as Leilia, Katrina, Lazar, and Roque, but also the efforts of thousands of magicians such as Larry, Ulysses, Timothy, and K.
The material field may be the place that requires the most countless experiments and accumulation, except for using prophecy to eliminate many wrong paths, there is no luck!
At the same time, they also began to look for new energy alternatives, such as solar energy stored in energy pools in advance like magic towers, such as other combustibles containing more energy.
In this regard, due to the extensive knowledge of magicians and the help of elves, allies who have been passed down for thousands of years, progress has been made quickly.
Thinking of the earth-shaking changes in the Magic Council and the Four Countries of the Straits, Heidi couldn't help but be slightly excited, excited that she lived in such an era.
"Maybe I don't have the talent of Annick and Splinter in the microscopic field, nor the sensitivity and patience of Katrina and Leilia to the nature of 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, when she thought of making alchemy items without soul participation also have the ability to deal with most problems, and even surpassing most arcanists in some aspects, when she thought about what kind of wonderful changes would happen when soul fragments were integrated into such alchemy items in the later stage, she couldn't help but boil her blood, and among the teacher's six students, only she and Cherie had not won the highest honor in a certain field!
When Buck drove the alchemy car, he was looking at the road conditions without squinting, and was very careful: "Madam, let's go to the morgue of 'Violet' Hospital first."
"Okay." Heidi had no objection and wanted to visit the hospital system jointly run by the kingdom and the council, which initially made ordinary believers understand that not only the Church of Truth can heal, but also the magic council!
Buck didn't dare to neglect the distinguished guests, so he kept looking for a topic: "The speed of the alchemy car is not fast enough, and the future development direction should no longer be to reduce the volume, but to enhance the activation of the magic circle and energy.
"Is it nuclear power......" Heidi's personality has always been lively, and she couldn't help but laugh, Buck is the typical kind who only understands a few terms after reading the newspaper.
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 take turns cooperating.
After laughing a few times, she deliberately joked: "When our research institute completes the miniaturization and civilian use of the magnetic restraint controllable nuclear fusion alchemy device, it should be able to make the speed of the alchemy car very fast......" so fast that it can fly.
Magnetically confined controlled nuclear fusion is the final goal of the teacher's research project, which is the final energy source for the city in the sky of Alinge, and it is still far from success.
"Magnetically constrained controllable nuclear fusion alchemy device...... Buck repeatedly "chewed" this lengthy but extremely mysterious and cool phrase, and after going back, it can shock colleagues and relatives again, this is the real arcane frontier field, not the outdated things talked about in the Herald, this is what Ms. Heidi of the Institute of Atomic Energy said herself!
At this time, a beautiful white building appeared in the eyes of the two of them, Buck stepped on the pedal, let the alchemy car stop at the door of the "Violet" hospital, then quickly got out of the car, went around to the other side, and opened the door with a standard gentleman's attitude: "Ma'am, it's here."
Heidi looked at the hospital after getting out of the car, nodded slightly, neat than she imagined, faintly sacred, those necromancers still have such a side?
Pushing open the glass door, Buck took Heidi to the morgue, and along the way he met doctors and nurses in white coats, who were specially selected necromancer apprentices and low-level magicians who were medically oriented. This hospital is not only a place where they treat patients and save the wounded, but also a place for experiments to verify certain ideas and magic, so this selection is not forced, but many magicians enthusiastically sign up.
Of course, unauthorized experiments will be severely punished by the Disciplinary Department of the Magic Council.
At present, the "Violet" hospital has been in operation for a year, because magic potions, alchemy instruments, 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 the nondescript nickname "Magic Angel" by the people of Rentat.
As I walked, there was a noisy voice in front of me, and many nurses and doctors were surrounding a tall and thin man in black asking about something, with a very excited and excited attitude.
After seeing the sick-looking man, Heidi tsked: "Mr. Felipe is very sought after by necromancers in the medical field."
"Mr. Felipe is here today to explain human anatomy and cellular memory to the doctors and nurses of Violet Hospital." Buck explained to Heidi, looking at Felipe's gaze full of awe, it is said that he can make a ball of flesh grow back into a person?
Heidi didn't pay any more attention and went to the morgue with Buck, faintly speaking behind him.
"Mr. Felipe, I have one more question about anatomy......"
"Professor Felipe, ...... in the field of cellular memory."
Suddenly, Felipe said gloomily: "Don't call me professor."
"Ah......" The little nurse who spoke was stunned, why? According to the standards of the Holt Magic Academy, the professor is an honorific title.
Heidi, who was facing away from them, chuckled, and made Buck look over inexplicably.
"It's nothing." Heidi waved her hand.
Turning the corner, the morgue appeared in front of the two of them, and Buck opened the door and walked into this eerie and cold place.
Placing the five corpses side by side, Heidi studied them carefully, and at this time, she was no longer a lady, but an arcanist.
After a long time, Heidi frowned slightly and said: "Judging from the knife marks, the method of taking internal organs and other aspects, it was the four murderers who killed these five people, and they did not care about the damage to their internal organs."
"Gang committing crimes?" Buck asked solemnly.
Heidi did not answer, but removed five clumps of flesh and blood from each of the five corpses: "Take me to the scene."
She faintly had an idea.
