Chapter 54: Follow-up to the missing case

In the restaurant, Sheriff Ramones came hurriedly.

He glanced at the seats of Luo Wei and Helena, and because he wanted to talk to Luo Wei about something, he subconsciously wanted to sit opposite Luo Wei.

Seeing that he was about to sit next to Helena, Luo Wei pulled him to his seat.

"Sheriff, if you have something to say, just say it."

When Sheriff Ramones saw Luo Wei's unhappy look, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he had done to offend him.

Helena covered her mouth and laughed.

"Um..." Sheriff Lemons said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to interrupt your date, but I really have something urgent to talk to you about."

"It's still about that missing person case on campus."

"Huh?" Luo Wei asked doubtfully, "I saw in the newspaper that the case has been perfectly closed, right? I also saw you in the newspaper."

Sheriff Lemons shook his head helplessly, "It's too early to close the case! Now there's another special situation!"

Another special situation? Luo Wei was stunned for a moment. Could it be that another student was missing?

"Wait..." He was more curious about something else than this. "Why are you looking for me for this campus missing case? I don't know anything about it."

This wasn't the second time he and I had joined forces to suppress Evelyn . The last time he did it, he pretended to be a caring citizen and secretly reported the case, and he also put the blame on the evil cult "The Church of Truth".

So logically speaking, the Sheriff shouldn't be aware of his involvement in this case?

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheriff Lemons gave him a speechless look that said, "Who are you kidding?"

"How could you possibly be missing out on a case like this?" Sheriff Lemons chuckled. "When you came to me to ask for the files on the Cult of Truth, I knew you already knew what was going on, seeing your nonchalant expression. And sure enough, a citizen reported the case this afternoon!"

"You didn't even leave your name after reporting the case." He looked at Luo Wei and muttered, "Who else could it be if not you?"

Luo Wei curled his lips and said, "It seems that after four years, your brain and IQ have increased a bit."

"Don't insult me yet." Sheriff Lemons quickly added, "Another person is missing! And it's a student from your school!"

"How many people? What grade?" Luo Wei frowned.

"Five people are missing, fourth grade."

Luo Wei was suddenly a little surprised. Five more people disappeared, and they disappeared together.

What made him even more surprised was that the mastermind behind the serial disappearances, Yves, hadn't she been locked up at home?

There is absolutely no way she could escape, and in her current state, she doesn't need to catch people and suck their blood, right?

Seeing Luo Wei's puzzled look, Sheriff Lemons added:

"These five students are from your school's 'Magical Hybrid Airship' major, and they are all fourth-year students who are about to graduate."

"They went to the airship factory with their class this afternoon for an internship. They were a group of five. After they boarded the sightseeing airship, it suddenly soared to a dangerous altitude for no apparent reason and disappeared into the clouds. Now the entire police station is frantically searching for them, and even the military has been alerted!"

Luo Wei nodded silently. What the military should be concerned about is not the five students, but the missing airship.

Although it was just a sightseeing airship that was lost, it was lost in the royal capital, so it was no small matter.

But then again, who did this?

Luo Wei added another glass of juice to Helena's glass and looked at Sheriff Ramones.

"What clues do you have so far?"

He shook his head helplessly. "Most of the police have been sent to the downtown area to search for the members of the Truth Cult who are in hiding. There will be no news for a while."

Luo Wei shook his head, "Not them."

"But..." Sheriff Lemons asked doubtfully, "Weren't they the ones responsible for the missing students?"

Luo Wei smiled awkwardly. He was just trying to help Yiweier shift the blame, but he had no idea that there would be a follow-up to this matter.

Moreover, these are clearly two cases. We cannot lump them into one case just because both are missing and the missing persons are students of Karen University.

" But...if this isn't the work of a cult, then what's going on? Why would they kidnap students from Cullen University..." Sheriff Lemons became increasingly confused. "What's so special about the students at your school...that all these bad guys are targeting you?"

Luo Wei took a light bite of the steak that Helena handed to his mouth, chewing and thinking.

"Actually...this isn't that difficult to understand."

"You have an idea?!" Sheriff Lemons' eyes lit up: "I knew it would be helpful to find you!"

Luo Wei chewed his steak and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Then he slowly poured Helena a glass of juice.

Sheriff Ramones was very anxious.

"Luo Wei... hurry up and tell me..."

Luo Wei looked at him and smiled helplessly, "It's a copycat crime, my great sheriff."

"Copycat?" He paused.

"Have you never handled a similar case in your career as a detective..." Luo Wei looked at him lost in thought and shook his head helplessly.

In the past, there was a movie in a certain country adapted from a real case, a serial killer, but the police did not catch the real murderer until the end of the movie, and the only suspect was forced to go away because of lack of evidence. But in fact, the case was not committed by a single murderer at all, and all the subsequent murderers were imitating the first murderer's killing method.

"This case has been publicly announced in the newspaper as the work of a cult..." Luo Wei silently analyzed, "So, the five students who subsequently disappeared were probably perpetrators trying to confuse the public, conceal their own motives, and throw mud at the Truth Cult."

The more he talked about it, the more likely it seemed. "After all, I've seen in the archives that this cult has a large number of members and has been hiding for many years. They've been impossible to catch for so many years. They're indeed a very suitable person to take the blame."

"If that's the case..." Sheriff Lemons frowned, "then it will be difficult to find..."

Luo Wei nodded. That was indeed the case. If they wanted to catch someone now, they might as well go find the airship first. After all, the airship was such a big target and very conspicuous.

When the two fell into silence.

Helena gently pointed out the window.

"Brother, look."

"Wait a minute Helena, my brother is thinking about something."

"Brother..." Helena's voice suddenly became higher.

"That airship, why is it getting closer and closer to us?"

At this moment, Lowe and Ramones suddenly looked up.

They all looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.

In the dark night sky obscured by thick clouds.

A huge airship was slowly approaching, and the blue halo of the magic crystal became more and more dazzling.

Moreover, its head is tilted, and the overall tendency is to fall downward!

"No!!" Luo Wei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He stood up immediately and grabbed Helena's wrist.

"run!"

Seeing Luo Wei grabbing his girlfriend's wrist and rushing towards the door without looking back, Sheriff Ramones suddenly came to his senses as if awakened.

He immediately grabbed his gun, rushed to the front desk of the restaurant, and yelled into the restaurant.

"Everyone! Evacuate the restaurant immediately!!"

The melodious violin music was still playing, and the men and women dining looked at the yelling policeman in surprise.

Still don't know what happened.

Seeing that the group remained motionless, Sheriff Ramones was so angry that he fired a gun into the air.

"What are you still standing there for? The airship is about to crash! It's going to explode! Don't you want to live?"

After this shot, the violin sound stopped abruptly.

The restaurant suddenly erupted in screams and the whole place was in chaos.

Surrounded by the panicked crowd, Sheriff Ramones squeezed out of the restaurant and saw Lowe's back on the street.

He ran after him.

Sheriff Ramones chased Luo Wei and the other man for two blocks, and only slowed down when he was several hundred meters away from the Royal Bay Restaurant.

He was panting with exhaustion. "How come you can run faster than me... Stop running! This distance is safe enough..."

Luo Wei and Helena finally stopped.

"The airship's core energy source is only half a cubic meter of magic crystal... It's only powerful enough to blow up one or two buildings... Why are you running so far...?"

The three people stopped where they were and looked in the direction where the airship was crashing in shock.

As the airship slowly fell, its huge body was already on fire, and thick black smoke covered the sky.

This astonishing sight made all passers-by stop and look in shock.

"Brother..." Helena nervously pulled Rovi's hand.

Luo Wei held it tightly with his backhand, interlocking his fingers.

"Don't be afraid."

Although he said so, Luo Wei frowned deeply and still stared at the movements of the airship nervously.

The airship was still falling slowly, getting closer and closer to the ground.

finally.

After a few seconds, the top of the airship finally touched the ground.

Chain reaction in general.

A deep blue light suddenly lit up, and the magic core exploded.
