Chapter 768: Prying (1/2)
The people around greeted their boss one after another. They looked meek and weak as if mere prey before a mighty lion.
And this comparison was not very far off from reality since this man could decide their futures and misery with just one word alone.
”Hmmm...” The middle aged police captain just nodded and went on to observe the corpse nearby.
This was a work office in the home of the victim and other than the long wide hole above that was caused by the unnatural lightning, everything else in here appeared pristine and untouched.
The victim named Andrew White was sitting when he died. The table and the thick stacks of paperwork that needed his attention was not damaged during the attack.
'Clean and precise.' The police captain mused as he kneeled down to look at the floors beneath the corpse's seat. They too were undamaged from the ordeal.
'And the killer has an absolute control of his power.' The police captain added to his mental note.
This was exactly what happened on another site when he saw the ugly death face of one named Eric White. The poor boy was beating his meat hard when he died.
The bed was unscathed in the lightning strike also.
”I want to see your findings first thing in the morning.” The police captain stood once more and addressed his men.
”You will have it, Captain!” The most senior officer replied for the group. The police captain then left with a troubled mind over his shoulders.
He got a call from the City Lord earlier to personally oversee this matter. He did that but got nothing in the end. Not that he expected to find anything of course.
One should know that only an SS Class monster or hunter could easily bypass the shield that was covering the entire city of Papia.
That should be more than enough clue that the culprit behind this assassination has long disappeared into parts unknown by now.
”This is a ghost hunt.” The police captain sighed and went home to be with his family. He would get to make love to his wife tonight and tomorrow... well, tomorrow will take care of itself.

Early the next morning, the police captain did indeed get the report that he wanted. He read the document 3 times before he was satisfied with what he had to offer.
Although it was a whole bunch of nothing but it was at least better than not producing something after all.
”CLICK!” With a tap of his fingers, he sent the soft copy unto the head and master of this city.
”SIGH!” The police captain took a deep breath and tried to forget that this thing ever happened in the first place. After that, he gladly accommodated the trivial tasks of his station.
This was much better than thinking about an SS Class killer out there in the dark.

At the center of the City of Papia, a home stood there for several hundred of years. This was the foundation on which the city was built a long time ago.
Inside of this ancestral residence, a beautiful lady read the documents that she received. If our handsome protagonist was only here, he would have no doubt been stunned in place.
