Luo Wei turned his head slightly, meeting those dark green eyes.
"You think... Helena did it?"
"It's just a suspicion," she glanced at the two police officers and lowered her voice, saying: "After all, during this time, the only one who is both familiar with the school and has ample suspicion is her."
"Didn't you also say before that she would be hostile towards female classmates who approach you?"
Evelyn casually flipped through the files in Luo Wei's hands. "Do you know any of these missing persons?"
Luo Wei shook his head, "No, I don't know any of them at all."
Moreover, he also had reservations about Teacher Evelyn's suspicions.
Although he had indeed suspected Helena at first, he couldn't think of any motive for her to commit such acts.
Besides, the two of them had been together all this time, even sleeping together... She couldn't possibly go out for a stroll and casually kill someone while he was asleep.
Though she was quite crazy, she wasn't the kind of crazy that made her a psychopathic killer...
"Looks like you trust that monster sister of yours quite a bit." Seeing Luo Wei's lack of reaction, Evelyn pouted.
Her expression showed a hint of jealousy.
"One thing at a time..."
Luo Wei tried to present evidence to her, "Look at when this senior and this female senior disappeared... Helena was by my side at those times..."
As the two of them were whispering, the two police officers became a bit restless.
"Have you finished looking at the materials? Do you have any ideas?" Captain Raymond asked Luo Wei.
He seemed to be expecting to hear some new clues from Luo Wei's mouth.
Luo Wei shook his head, "No."
"Well then..." Captain Raymond sighed, looking at his pocket watch again.
"It's getting late, we'll be heading back now."
As he spoke, Officer Leon stepped forward to collect the materials from Luo Wei's hands.
Luo Wei and Evelyn walked them to the door. Before leaving, Captain Raymond turned back.
He mysteriously leaned close to Luo Wei's ear and quietly asked:
"Have you recently encountered any unusual incidents? Exotic species, mysterious powers, black magic, that sort of thing..."
"In short, you know what I'm talking about."
Captain Raymond gave Luo Wei a knowing look.
This was the tacit understanding between the two of them, and Luo Wei certainly knew what he meant.
In the past, they had worked together through too many bizarre and inexplicable events, and Captain Raymond naturally associated those things, with Luo Wei being something of an expert in this field.
"Exotic species..."
Luo Wei casually glanced at Evelyn. He had certainly seen exotic species; the one before his eyes was a strange creature of unknown origin.
Add Helena to that, and there were a full two of them.
He had quite an affinity with exotic species...
But when it came to speaking, he still dishonestly smiled and said:
"I haven't seen any."
"I see." Captain Raymond looked slightly disappointed.
"If you discover any new clues, please be sure to notify me promptly."
He instructed Luo Wei with a serious gaze.
Luo Wei nodded.
After bidding each other farewell, the two police officers pushed open the door and left Teacher Evelyn's office.
But when they left the office and reached the corner of the hallway,
Young Officer Leon quickly glanced around.
Seeing no one eavesdropping, he finally couldn't contain his curiosity.
"Captain? Why are you so interested in that male student?"
He was very puzzled, "According to what you said, at most he's just a curious kid who likes to chase after those mysterious events, right? He's not a real detective, and I don't see anything outstanding about him."
Unexpectedly, Captain Raymond shook his head and chuckled.
"Captain Raymond?"
The young officer looked at him in confusion.
Captain Raymond gave him a meaningful smile.
"Still young..."
"Do you really think he's an ordinary person?"
"To survive so many bizarre incidents that even I dare not get too involved in, that in itself is unbelievable."
Captain Raymond's expression turned serious, "Remember those official supernatural beings in the sanatorium? What state are they in now? I think you should remember."
Officer Leon thought about those lunatics in the sanatorium, and their terrifying state - from their bodies to their behavior to their mental state - caused by long-term exposure to mysterious powers...
He couldn't help but shudder.
"I remember..."
"Then think about Luo Wei's state again?" Captain Raymond asked in return.
"Ah?" Officer Leon's mouth opened and closed, showing an expression of half-understanding.
"Many things are not good to investigate too deeply."
Captain Raymond patted the young officer's shoulder meaningfully, "He's not someone to be trifled with lightly. In the future, when doing things, analyze problems comprehensively. Otherwise, if you lose your life, I'll have to replace my seventh assistant..."
The young officer was terrified in his heart.
The seventh assistant... Does this mean that before him, five of the new recruits the captain had taken on had already died?
This was too horrifying...
If he had known this earlier, he would never have allowed himself to be transferred to the city to become Captain Raymond's assistant...
The young officer was on the verge of tears.
Suddenly, he recalled what a retired old police officer had once told him.
The city of Saint Callen, the waters run deep...
Too deep...
...
After seeing off his old friend Captain Raymond, a prompt suddenly appeared before Luo Wei's eyes.
[
[Save point updated: Magic Engineering Class A Counselor's Office]
[Available loads: 5/5]
]
Luo Wei was immediately delighted. The update of the save point meant that he had finally survived the long "first level"!
Although Helena's shadow hadn't passed, at least he had several more lives now.
This feeling of joy was hard to suppress, even Evelyn looked at him curiously.
"What are you grinning about?"
"Nothing, just thought of something happy." Luo Wei smiled and shook his head, without explaining further.
"Don't you... want to share with your teacher?" Evelyn drooped her pretty face, pretending to be deeply hurt.
"Kids these days... all have secrets, sigh..."
Luo Wei saw her dramatic act and chuckled.
"I'm thinking about one of life's three great questions - 'what to eat tonight', and I've gained some insight, already have some clues."
"Your mouth is so poor, if you don't want to say it, just don't!" Evelyn snorted.
"It's true!" Luo Wei lied without blushing, "Tonight we'll eat the long-renowned legendary dish - 'Gazing at the Starry Sky Pie'."
Evelyn didn't want to argue with him. She quietly leaned closer, "From what you were saying to the captain earlier, are you going to help him investigate this case?"
Luo Wei nodded, he indeed had such thoughts.
The reward for this chapter was a 10× bonus to any attribute point, plus a random item that was sure to be powerful. He naturally wouldn't miss it.
"Your personality really isn't afraid of death, it's strange how it was cultivated..."
Teacher Evelyn muttered: "That monster sister of yours is still watching you..."
Luo Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head. Little did she know, it was precisely because of the threat from Helena that he had to think of every possible way to improve himself.
"Since you want to investigate this case, I do have some clues here."
Her expression suddenly turned serious as she returned to her desk and started rummaging through the drawers.
Luo Wei looked over curiously and saw her searching for a while before pulling out a stack of newspapers.
'Mysterious Organization Surfaces'
'Murderous Sacrifices, Bizarre Rituals to Summon Evil Gods?'
'Cult Active in City Underground! Incompetent Police Achieve Nothing!'
The large headlines immediately caught Luo Wei's attention. This was a cult that had surfaced recently, always active in the lower districts of the city, using various methods such as kidnapping and drugging to capture living people for sacrifice. Their methods were extremely cruel and vicious, causing a very negative impact on society.
"I've been following this case recently too," the teacher said. "The student disappearances immediately made me think of this cult case. The methods are similar, both kidnapping isolated victims with weak resistance. What do you think?"
Luo Wei remained silent for a long time, carefully examining the information revealed in those newspaper articles.
"It does look similar, but we need to investigate further. There are too few leads right now..."
Luo Wei pondered as he gathered up all the newspapers, planning to take them back for review.
"You don't mind, professor?"
"Take them," she waved her hand. "Just let me know if you find any leads."
Luo Wei smiled and was about to bid her farewell, preparing to leave the office.
Professor Evelyn gazed at him, muttering, "I didn't call you here for any of this in the first place. Those police officers, they're such a nuisance..."
Luo Wei looked at her clearly disappointed expression and smiled. He was actually quite grateful to Captain Raymond.
If it weren't for those two barging in suddenly, he wouldn't have known how to face Professor Evelyn, whose gaze seemed ready to devour him.
It was only at this moment that a question that had been bothering him for a long time resurfaced.
Luo Wei carefully and thoroughly examined Professor Evelyn once more.
"So..."
"Was she wearing them or not?"
