Raven walked over and saw Krista pointing at a small piece of black substance. "Officer Raven! This is Kappa's excrement! I won't make a mistake! Kappa must have been brought here!"
At this time, Raven missed Ellie very much and decided to go back to raise a police dog.
But if Ellie smells this, will she slap herself?
Thinking of Ellie's fighting ability, Raven quickly put away his disrespectful thoughts towards Ellie and stepped forward to seriously judge.
"The bloodstains are towards the entrance of the alley, and the excrement is at the other end of the alley..." Raven pinched his chin and looked around, "This probably means that your little lizard has been caught and brought here."
"What should I do...what should I do...will Capa be in danger?" Kriska looked anxious.
"Don't panic, let's explore this alley first to see if there are more clues." Raven comforted Krista and began to search carefully on the ground in the alley.
As Raven persisted in searching, the bloodstain clues that had almost faded to invisibility reappeared before Raven's eyes.
It would be great if there was luminol reaction technology, so I don't have to see here with my naked eyes. Thinking of the rich technical means available to the predecessors who traveled through time and space and became police officers in the previous life, Raven couldn't help but sigh.
Following the blood trail, Raven finally found a house.
Raven looked around. This was the end of the alley and there were no other forks in the road.
What good luck! It seems that the lizard named Kappa was most likely brought here.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Raven knocked on the door three times.
"Who is it?" a dull voice asked from inside.
"From the post office! There's a courier for you to sign for in person!" Raven made up a story expertly.
"Express delivery? Who's delivering it... Damn, cop!" The door opened a crack, and the person inside saw Raven's guard uniform and tried to close the door.
How could Raven miss this opportunity? He rushed in with a push of his iron stick.
"Don't move! Guards checking!"
Raven burst through the door, pistol drawn, and quickly glanced at the target in the room.
There was only a bearded man in the room. He fell to the ground when Raven pushed the door open. Now he was looking at Raven with horror.
"Police... What are the guards checking? I'm a good citizen." The man said with a trembling voice when he saw Raven rushing in.
"We received a report from the surrounding citizens that you are raising supernatural creatures without a license." Raven rolled his eyes. This man started to speak in jargon when he saw him, and now he is pretending to be an innocent citizen.
"Supernatural creature? Officer, there is no supernatural creature here. You can't wrongly accuse a good person!" The man was still arguing hard.
"Hiss" a short and hoarse cry sounded in the room.
"Kappa!" Kriska shouted in surprise and rushed from Raven's side to the place where the sound came from.
"Be careful!" Raven just opened his mouth to warn, and Krista, who rushed in blindly, stepped on a seemingly intact wooden board. The board collapsed instantly and Krista fell down.
As soon as Raven turned his gaze, he found that the man's eyes became vicious and he rushed towards him.
"Bang!" Raven fired his pistol and hit the man on the shoulder, but the man was not delayed by the bullet and continued to pounce on Raven.
Raven slid quickly to the left, leaving the man empty-handed.
Seeing that the man was vulnerable, Raven quickly pulled out his baton and kicked the man in the ribs while holding him with the baton.
"What's that place down there? Where did the girl fall?" Raven asked sternly.
Seeing that his desperate counterattack did not work, the man struggled twice symbolically and then stopped trying.
"There's just a pit down there, nothing else." The man said in a muffled voice.
"You're quite playful. Digging a trap at home?" Raven took out handcuffs, handcuffed the man's feet together to prevent him from escaping, and turned to save Krista.
The pit was about three meters deep. When Raven looked over, he saw Krista lying on her back.
Without paying attention to gentlemanly etiquette, Raven shouted down: "Miss Krista? Are you okay?"
"Hmm... I feel a little dizzy..."
"Come on, stand up and grab my hand!" Raven stretched out a hand and tried to grab Krista.
"Human immobilization technique!" Suddenly, Raven heard the man's voice, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned around to check the situation.
The man was seen holding a scroll that had been torn in two, and a beam of green light hit Raven.
Raven suddenly felt his whole body sink, and an invisible force bound him to the spot.
"Heh, rookie guard, saving people in front of me?" The man laughed at Raven loudly.
"Sheriff Raven! Are you okay?" Krista shouted anxiously from below when she saw that Raven's hands did not move.
But Raven couldn't even say a word at this time. He could only watch the man walk up to him and fumble for the key to the handcuffs.
Get moving! Get moving!
Raven was extremely anxious because his sword was still on him. If the man pulled it out, his life would be in danger.
[The Shinhwa trick (movement) was launched successfully! ]
[Certification in progress...]
Just as Raven was getting anxious, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind. Raven's eyes lit up, and he struggled with all his strength. Suddenly, the invisible shackles shattered as if they were broken by Raven.
[Verification successful! ]
Raven didn't have time to pay attention to the system prompts in his mind. He rolled out of the man's range, jumped up on the spot like doing an acrobatic trick, and immediately adjusted to a standing position.
"How could this be…" The man seemed to have not yet recovered from Raven's struggle to break free from the magical restraints, and was kicked away by Raven's swift kick.
"You are obviously... immobilized..." The man spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Oh? Really? Maybe you took the wrong scroll." Raven said coldly, and hit the man on the back of the head with a baton, knocking him unconscious.
"Sheriff Raven! Are you okay?" Krista couldn't see what was happening above and could only worry down below.
"I'm fine, I'm here to get you out." Raven put away his baton and bent down to pull Christina.
"Hey...whoosh!" With the concerted efforts of the two, Christa was pulled out of the pit.
"I'm sorry, Sheriff Raven." Kriska apologized to Raven as soon as she came out. "It's all my fault for being too reckless. Sheriff Raven is in danger."
"It's okay. Just be careful next time and look carefully at the road before taking action." Raven shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
Although this was very thrilling, as long as nothing happened, it's fine. It also taught me a lesson. Don't let your guard down until all the enemies are incapacitated.
Who knows if the other party will suddenly take out a magic scroll?
"Hiss" a short and hoarse sound rang out from the room again.
"Kappa!" This time, Krista did not rush over impulsively, but carefully walked around the pit and found the source of the sound.
This was an iron cage covered with a piece of cloth. Krista lifted the cloth and suddenly there was a colorful lizard inside.
"Capa! I missed you so much!" Krista cried with joy while hugging the cage. "Thank you, Sheriff Raven, thank you for helping me find Capa."
"Ms. Kriska, don't be too happy yet. Finding this lizard is only the first step."
"Huh?"
"Did you forget? We still need to take it for identification to see if it is the murderer."
…
Krista nervously followed Raven back to the guard camp. It was already completely dark and the guards had already gone off duty. It was now free time in the evening.
And Raven is still working overtime here because of what happened this afternoon.
"What did the forensic doctor say?" Raven asked when he saw his subordinates bringing back the cage containing the lizard.
"The forensic doctor's findings are completely consistent. The illusion magic that the deceased was subjected to was released by this lizard." The subordinate reported the results given by the forensic doctor truthfully.
"Ms. Krista, look at this..." Raven looked at Krista with embarrassment.
"Sheriff Raven... there must be a reason for Capa. He would never release magic for no reason. Look, wasn't that guy chasing him this morning? Capa must have been forced into a corner by him and that's why he released magic. Capa is not out of control. Please believe me." Christina was about to cry and begged Raven almost pleadingly.
"Okay... then I'll go interrogate the guy who caught your lizard."
"Thank you! Sheriff Raven! Thank you!"
"Don't thank me. This is the duty of the guards. This is the money we earn. Besides, there is a watermelon stall owner who is probably innocent and is waiting for me to clear his name." Raven shook his head, motioning for Krista not to thank him, and walked into the interrogation room.
Asking his subordinates to bring in the man he had brought in that afternoon for interrogation, Raven sat in the interrogation room waiting.
"Bang." The door of the interrogation room opened, and the subordinate brought the man in. After asking him to sit on a chair, he sat next to Raven.
Usually Raven and Ellie are partners, but now that Ellie is resting, Raven will take her place.
"Name."
"Kirk Keller."
"gender."
"male."
"Profession."
"Flexible employment."
The interrogation went on with question and answer, and the man was quite cooperative.
"Where were you this morning?"
"Wandering around the east side of the city."
Raven narrowed his eyes slightly. "Oh? Are you sure you're just wandering around?"
"What's wrong?" The man seemed a little embarrassed.
"Then what about the possessed supernatural being found in your home?"
"…"
"You'd better tell the truth. You also assaulted a police officer, which is a serious offense. If you confess, you can get a lighter sentence."
The man gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind: "Okay, I'll tell you."
"I was strolling around the east side of the city this morning and saw a colorful lizard running out. I knew it was worth a lot of money, so I had an evil idea and set up a cage to catch it. That's it."
"I'm afraid it's more than that.
