Accompanied by the minister, Steve went to the crime scene to investigate. There, Steve saw that Alex and Brine had arrived first, ready to start investigating.

"Steve, why are you here?"Alex and Brine were very surprised when they saw Steve.

The minister took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said,"Mr. Steve showed interest in this case, so I asked him to assist in the investigation."

Alex pursed his lips and looked at Steve without saying anything.

"us......Let’s start investigating the scene first." Steve coughed and said.

Then, the group of people began to search the crime scene separately.

In order to protect the scene, the bodies that were torn into dozens of pieces were left intact. Although the three of Steve went deep into various ruins, This was the first time I had seen such a cruel and disgusting scene, and Alex even felt a little nauseous because of it.

"Feel sorry......I......I'll go to the other side to investigate......."Alex covered his mouth and walked to the other side of the room, leaving Brine and Steve to investigate the body.

Brine knelt down and dipped a little green blood on the ground with his finger without expression, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

"It’s the same blood as last time......Kind of like zombie blood. Steve nodded and said:"Only zombies have green blood, but that's impossible. How can there be zombies in the royal city?"......"

Brine leaned close to Steve's ear and whispered:"It's not that there are no zombies at all......."

Steve glanced at him with a frown and said,"Are you doubting Wright?"

"No, I don't think she will be the murderer, I just think she has something to do with this incident......Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to explain why there was zombie blood at the crime scene, right?"

"Maybe some other monster we don't know about?"

"This kind of reasoning is untenable. It is impossible for monsters to spawn in the royal city, let alone break into the homes of residents with closed doors and windows."

The three of them investigated the room carefully for a while, but did not find any clues worth noting at all. They walked out of the room helpless. The minister also showed disappointment when he saw the expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Minister, I suggest that the entire city be under martial law during the next period and that more personnel be deployed to patrol at night. Judging from the two crimes, criminals seem to like to attack residential areas." Steve suggested

"this......I think so too, but the manpower of the Investigation Department and the Police Department is completely insufficient......."

"Can't you ask His Majesty the King for more manpower?"Alex said

"this......Alas, I'm afraid that's all I can do. I will ask the king to send more guards to strengthen patrols.......It looks like I'm going to lose my seat......."

The investigation yielded no results, so Steve said goodbye and left.

On the way home, Steve hesitated whether to continue to get involved. Although he had an ominous premonition, he was hesitant because the incident was related to Wright's anomaly.

Walking to the door of the house, Steve glanced at the window of Wright's room and found that it was closed. Without thinking, Steve walked in the door.

The next morning, Steve was busy in the kitchen, and Wright walked down the stairs, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Steve......morning......"

"Ah, good morning, Wright. How did you sleep last night?"

Wright yawned and said,"It's not very good.......I've been having some insomnia lately"

"That's it......"Steve was thoughtful when he heard Wright say this.

After breakfast, we went to the Adventurers Association to pick up the commission as usual. On the way, Steve paid special attention to listen to the conversations of passers-by and found that no one talked about the murder case last night. The most talked about was the increase in meat prices. It seemed that the large number of animals in the wild in the royal capital had not been solved yet.

"It seems that the government still chooses to conceal it and not report it.......That's right. It's not a joke if it causes panic......."

The day ended with continuous commissions and Wright's yawn, and time turned to night again.

Steve has become more and more aware that something is wrong with Wright. He has insomnia at night, no appetite for meals, and no meat.......Her recent behavior has made Steve uneasy, so tonight he decided to do something about it.

After Wright went back to his room to go to bed at 11:30, Steve suppressed his sleepiness and sat on the bed, listening intently to what was going on in Wright's room.

The clock on the wall was ticking, waves of sleep hammering Steve's spirit.

When the pointer turned to one o'clock, Steve's ears finally caught a hint of movement - there was the sound of the window being gently opened in Wright's room.

"coming......Did Wright really sneak out at night?"

Steve wasn't sure whether Wright would turn on the"sound recognition" to test himself. To be on the safe side, he lay motionless on the bed.

The clock ticked another 30 times before Steve heard something pass by the window. the news

"It looks like Wright jumped out of the window.......Gotta catch up quickly." Steve flew out of bed and ran to the window, just in time to see a black figure fleetingly disappear outside the wall.

"Wright, what are you doing?......"Without thinking, Steve hurriedly opened the window and jumped down, chasing after Wright in the direction he left.
