There are huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor of the clinic. It is hard to imagine how much courage it takes to use such decoration in this gray alley, where the black and white worlds intersect and public security is chaotic.

It was not as chaotic as imagined. Except for the bed, the clinic was clean and tidy, as if their owners were still working as usual.

Even though it was a hospital bed, there was no blood or dirt on it, only a lot of wrinkles.

“Have the sheets been changed here?”

Seeing this, Xia couldn't help but ask.

"No, this is the scene. A newspaper boy passed by here this morning and saw Dr. House lying here through the French window. He called out twice but there was no response. He came closer and realized something was wrong. He quickly called the police. After they broke into the room, they saw Dr. House was already like this."

Drizzt said.

"This is definitely not done by humans."

Shia concluded.

"The other party should have killed Dr. House with a sneak attack in an instant. The glass flower was not the result, but the means. The murderer killed the other party by making his internal organs like that."

"Or there is another speculation, that is, Dr. House was not killed here."

Drizzt exhaled a puff of gray smoke.

"In addition to those two patients, he may have received or visited other patients, and then was killed and sent back under the cover of night, which would have led to the scene becoming like this."

There were only three of them present, so Drizzt spoke bluntly and pointed to the wooden cabinet filled with patient information and files.

"I'm going to look into his filing cabinet."

"oh."

Lu Ban remembered what Trist said before.

In addition to the assistance of the police, he also accepted the commission from Mrs. Martina of the Catania family. The evidence of this lady from the mafia family having a secret meeting with her lover was also in the clinic, so there may be another direction for this case.

That is, Dr. House was killed by the gang because of this evidence, but Mrs. Martina failed to get the evidence from Dr. House, so she hired detective Trist to find it.

"Lao Cui, you are not going to be silenced too, are you?"

Lu Ban suddenly said.

"...Do you think I came here without any preparation?"

Trist, who was looking through the files, rolled his eyes at Lu Ban.

"First of all, Madam Martina didn't tell me about the lover. This is all my reasoning. As long as I don't act like I know too much, she won't do anything to me."

"Also, Madam Martina is the third daughter of the Catania family, and her husband is a theater actor. According to the rules of the mafia, even if her husband knew she was being accused, he couldn't say anything. Madam Martina needed to destroy this information mainly because of a dispute within the family."

"Finally, I know more than one person from the Catania family. Do you understand what I mean?"

"don't know."

Shia was blunt.

For the mages of the Kingdom of Night, this kind of urban gang is too complicated.

"…The Catania family is a gang that has risen in recent years. They quickly controlled a lot of trade routes to and from the abandoned city. They do smuggling, drug trafficking, intimidation, and call girls. Basically, they do everything. It is said that this is because they have a very good military advisor in the past two years. Anyway, the order of the black streets is being destroyed."

Trist paused, perhaps thinking that the description of "the order of the black streets" sounded a little ridiculous.

"There were originally many small forces and small gangs in the Black Street. These gangs often fought with weapons, causing casualties, but because of their small size, they reached a delicate balance of power between each other. The upper class people were too lazy to clean up the mess, but the Catania family was different. They wanted to unify the Black Street and even the slums of the entire Wasteland and become the controller of the Wasteland in the shadows."

“Isn’t this good?”

Shia asked, not quite understanding.

"There are many problems. Although the Catania family can make the slums more peaceful through high-pressure rule, this kind of rule will attract the attention of the upper class people in the waste city, and perhaps clean up the slums. You know, when there is a little dust on the ground, you may not care, but when there is a pile of dust, you may have to take a broom to sweep it."

Drizzt's hand suddenly stopped.

He saw a file.

The patient's name listed on the file is Matilda, which is another way of writing Martina.

He pulled out the file and took a look.

"…It's a big deal."

Trist couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder Mrs. Martina wants this medical record. She and her lover are not just ordinary men and women, but..."

He was about to say something when he noticed Xia's curious big eyes.

"Ahem, anyway, it's something that can harm the body. It seems that she has such desires, but she can't show it because of her status... No, wait."

Drizzt flipped through the records and was stunned.

"The time here doesn't match. I remember that Mrs. Martina should be attending a charity reception at this time. I'm there, so there's no reason for her not to be there, unless..."

He seemed to realize why Mrs. Martina had entrusted him with this matter.

Trist searched through other files according to a special order on the record. This file was just a directory, and the real records were other files arranged in the order of the coded records.

"What's wrong?"

Xia came closer and saw the text translated by the Silent Land.

"Three have died?"

The wizard girl saw in the archives that three of the unfortunate people who had used some special means to please these noble ladies had already died.

Moreover, it seems that there is more than one participant.

"Mrs. Martina seems to be just one part of this...what about the others?"

Trist suddenly discovered that Lu Ban was missing.

"I'm here."

Lu Ban's voice came from the entrance of the basement.

Trist put away the medical records and went to the basement with Xia.

This is a warehouse where various medicines and equipment are stored. The police must have searched it already, and there is nothing special.

However, Lu Ban came to a cabinet.

"Do you smell anything?"

He asked.

"What does it smell like?"

Trist moved his nose and smelled only the pungent smell of disinfectant.

"It smells like a morgue, perfume."

Lu Ban said as he opened the cabinet.

There were some bottles and jars in the cabinet, nothing special.

But Lu Ban crawled into the closet, put his face against it, and listened carefully.

"This place seems to be empty."

He said, and immediately came out and moved the heavy cabinet away with Drizzt.

You can see that there is a trap door behind the cabinet.

Pushing open the trapdoor, Lu Ban saw a claustrophobic little room.

In the room, lying cold and sick, was a woman.

Glass flowers were blooming on that woman's body.
