Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic

Chapter 411 Chapter 411 Very Interesting!

Martin did not want to get exposed to anyone, not this way. That's why Tom being with him was risky. But now he had asked a favor from him, which ultimately Tom agreed to, he expected Tom to ask for a place to stay. Before this would go in the wrong direction, he came up with an idea in his mind.

"Very interesting! This is a masterpiece." Tom commented on the case. Martin looked at him with a raised brow.

"Can you elaborate what made you think this is a masterpiece?" Martin wanted to find out what was going in Tom's mind.

"I mean, this case is definitely a difficult one. Something similar to Charlie's case. Hmm…, let's see where this leads us to." Tom stated after reading the entire file about the case Martin was going to hand him.

After hearing those words from Tom, he was relieved that Tom got an interest in the case and he won't back down. This put a smile on Martin's face and a surety of not getting his privacy invaded. He indeed got the perfect person to hand the case over.

"Whoever tried to kill this man, I must say he had planned with a cool mind. Since we don't have any evidence and further clues to sort this out. We need to work hard on this one." Tom said further, and it caught Martin's attention. When Martin caught details of the case, Tom's attention was caught.

"Now you see why I wanted your help. I have a lack of authorization in a few places. That is why I was helpless, but having you here with me, in this case, we will succeed." Martin gave a little appreciation to Tom and made him realize how happy he was to have him in the investigation. Tom nodded his head in approval.

Now a happy Martin got raised from his chair and gave Tom his batch. It surprised Tom when Martin returned him his batch. He couldn't believe it was happening. "Are you sure about this?" He still had doubts in his mind, so he decided to confront his boss again.

Martin looked at him with a pensive gaze and chuckled under his breath. "Have you seen me cracking a joke before? I am hella serious about this. There is no other one except you who fits this job's description. I trust you, Tom. I have faith in your capabilities. There was no chance of mistake." Martin assured Tom that he wasn't leaving any room for mistake and he was his choice for the investigation of the case. This boosted Tom's confidence, but he was still sad from the inside.

"Now, this case is yours, and I need you to give your best. You must solve this crucial problem, so visit the investigation site and collect evidence or clues. Whatever you can find which will lead further in the case. Do you understand?" Martin asked Tom with an expectation. Tom looked at Martin and nodded his head lightly.

"Good! Now it's settled. We will meet here with your report on the case. Show your talent, Tom." Martin stated while returning back to his chair and going through other documents.

Tom left Martin's office and walked down the street with hundreds of thoughts in his mind. Even Martin called him. He knew it would be another order. So, he came to refuse him to take any job at the moment. He was going through the grief of losing a friend and his mind was full of doubts needed to be cleared before focusing on another investigation. However, he wasn't able to refuse Martin and his demands. Ended up giving in and accepting his proposal to work for him on another case. He sighed and leaned on a lamppost. Lighting a cigar and inhaling the smoke into his lungs, only to calm down his popping nerves. Currently, he needs something bitter to gulp down all of his miseries.

After puffing the entire stick down, He dampened the litter and threw it in the garbage. Suddenly, his thoughts took him to the case he had been offered. There was something catchy about it which couldn't be ignored. Nexus was a popular man in the town, and his case interested Tom. That was the reason why he agreed to work on Martin's order. Initially, he did not want to take the case because he had to investigate the missing body of his friend Charlie. But when he read the details of the case, he felt the familiarity in the pattern of assassination, which drew Tom's attention. So, he ended up taking the case to find clues about his friend.

Since he had got enough time on his track, he thought of visiting the investigation site where the attack of Nexus had happened. Who knows what he would find there? Maybe this case would lead him to the case of his friend Charlie's missing body. Tom took a deep breath before heading towards the investigation site.

Later that night, Tom reached the site of the crime for the investigation. Looking at the building with his tired eyes, he sighed deeply and thought of why he agreed to take this case when there were other important things he had to take care of. He came up with a few excuses to refuse to take the case while his boss forced it onto him, but nothing he could do about it now. Popping the bones of his neck, he entered the building with slow steps. The other policemen had investigated the place but returned with lack of evidence extracted from the place. They did not do their job quite well, or the criminal had a mind as sharp as a razor.

Some ropes were hanging on the metallic framed gateway on the boundary of the building. The place gave him creeps and at that hour of night; the building looked like an abandoned place after the attack.

Tom detangled the knots to make space enough to move his body lass through it. The investigators had protected the place by putting additional tape to prevent trespassing on the site.

Tom cut the tape and walked further inside the place. The cold weather and the spooky sight gave him chills. Sudden drop in temperature made him confused, so he gave it a second thought before entering inside. Shaking his head to shrug the awkward feelings, Tom walked straight through the main door and was welcomed by the utter darkness in the building. His heart was beating like a drum roll and with every step, he felt an unusual feeling rise inside his heart. Something seemed sinister inside this place.

Suddenly, his nostrils were hit by a pungent smell which wasn't coming from the building itself. That smell was so bad, it made Tom gag before he put a cloth over his face to cover them. He took out a lantern hanging on one of the doorways. Then he checked if the oil was enough to light it for a few minutes. It might help him look at the crime scene better than depending on his eyesight in the darkness. He took out a matchbox from his back pocket and lit the lantern.
