For the ordinary people in Nice City, the attack on the Holy Rock Church may be a big deal, but that is only for the believers of the Rock Church. In the eyes of the believers of other churches, this is just a topic of conversation after dinner.

On the contrary, the massacre of the Mossi Troupe touched the hearts of ordinary people even more. After the news spread, many people began to gather outside the Nice Police Station, demanding that the police investigate the matter strictly. There were also a large number of Nice City dignitaries.

He sent his own envoy to the police station to meet with the director and express his concern about the case.

The Mossi Theater Company is a local theater group in the city of Nice. It was founded one hundred and seventy-three years ago. The founder's identity is extremely limited. He is Domingo Famous, one of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis War in Nice.

As the hub of the New World, the City of Nice has gathered a large amount of wealth. Although no one has conducted statistics, there is a generally accepted rumor that the wealth of the City of Nice is equivalent to the combined wealth of the top ten powerful countries in the New World.

It is precisely because the City of Nice has such huge wealth that the surrounding countries covet the City of Nice. In the end, they cannot bear the temptation of wealth. Several countries surrounding the City of Nice decide to unite to attack the City of Nice, so the war lasts for three years.

This is how the Acropolis War of Nice broke out.

Because the city of Nice had anticipated this in advance, it had stockpiled a large amount of food and military supplies. Therefore, during the three years of war, the city of Nice did not have any problems with its logistical supplies. The only trouble was the shortage of manpower and soldiers.

It was difficult to make up for it. By the end of the war, not only women went to the battlefield in Nice, but also the elderly and children. Civilians and nobles protected each other, criminals and police detectives protected each other. This kind of thing could be seen everywhere.

During these three years of war, countless heroes emerged in the city of Nice. Among them, the most famous heroes were twelve. These people were honored as the Twelve Heroes after the war. Each hero has a huge statue.

They stand on both sides of the six city gates of Nice and are admired by the world.

At the beginning of the outbreak of the Patriotic War, Domingo Famous and the Mossi Theater Company he founded were already the most famous theater troupe in the New World. Domingo was even recognized as a chant master in the New and Old Worlds. The psalms he sang

Even the gods can't help but listen to the song.

During the war, Domingo didn't care at all about his identity as a chant master. He always took the lead and fought with the enemy on the front line. He disrupted the enemy's offensive countless times. With his extraordinary attacks, his position rose all the way.

Became one of the governors of the city.

Later, at the height of the fighting, a serious loophole appeared in one of the city walls due to the negligence of the defenders at the time. Once the enemy discovered this loophole, the city defense would inevitably be breached, and by then the entire Nice city's defense line would collapse.

For this reason, Domingo used his special identity at that time to lead a group of dead soldiers to raid the enemy's Chinese army's position, thereby attracting the enemy's attention and buying enough time for the Nice defenders to repair the holes in the city wall, but he was therefore

He fell into enemy lines and eventually all his men were killed and he was personally captured.

When the enemy general at that time knew that he was the chant master Domingo Famus, he did not kill him immediately. Instead, he cut off his limbs, made a frame to fix them, and then put the most important members of the local coalition forces at that time.

All the officers and generals came for Domingo, who had his limbs cut off, and carried him to the front of the military formation, under the city wall of Nice, and forced Domingo to sing chants, hoping to lower the morale of the defenders of Nice.

However, at that time, Domingo Famous did not follow the enemy general's ideas and sing his best hymn. Instead, he endured the pain on his body and sang one of his songs with a voice that was as perfect as the sound of nature.

The song he wrote on the battlefield not only did not demoralize the soldiers defending the city, but instead made them more motivated. Then when the enemy sent people to stop him, under everyone's gaze, he

He cast an unknown mysterious magic, which attracted the punishment power of several gods, and directly wiped out himself and all the enemies around him.

Because the people who died together with Domingo from the power of divine punishment were almost all the senior generals of the local coalition. After the generals in Nice City discovered this, they immediately led their best soldiers to launch a counterattack.

The army was destroyed, no one was commanding it, it was like scattered sand, it was beaten to pieces and suffered heavy casualties.

Although the coalition forces besieging the city were not completely eliminated this time, it also severely damaged the coalition forces' vitality. This incident can also be said to be a turning point in the War on the Acropolis of Nice. The subsequent war turned into a war of attrition. Beware of further

There was no threatening siege.

After the war, Domingo Famous was enshrined as one of the Twelve Heroes of the Acropolis, and the unnamed song he sang before his death was also named Nislon.

Not Falling has become the city song of the city of Nice. When shaping the statue of Domingo, the master craftsman in charge did not shape Domingo's complete body, but the shape of his limbs that were severed before death.

image, so that the people of Nice will always remember the suffering that Domingo suffered for the city of Nice.

Also because of Domingo Famous, the Moxi Theater Company he established also received special attention in the city of Nice. Not only did it have privileges that other theater groups did not have, but also in the theater associations that were formed later, the Moxi Theater Company also had unique privileges.

has a small power, and almost all plays written by Nice playwrights are premiered by the Mossi Theater Company before being handed over to other theater companies for performance. This makes the Mossi Theater Company have considerable influence in Nice and even the entire New World.

prestige.

Nowadays, such a well-known and special theater troupe has been slaughtered. From the troupe director and manager to the new actors who have just joined the troupe, everyone in the troupe has been killed without exception.

Only a few actors and actresses who were not in the troupe because they were dating some powerful people in the city were spared, and they were immediately protected by the police station after the incident.

"Everyone, please rest assured and trust our detectives. They will find out the real culprits who brutally massacred the Moxi Troupe as soon as possible and give an explanation to all the people of Nice." The police chief stood on a temporary podium set up outside the police station gate.

After answering several questions from reporters, he very formally told the people gathered around him that he would take this case seriously and promised to find the real culprit as soon as possible.

After finishing this speech, the police chief returned to his office, but this time he did not behave as calmly as he did outside, but looked angry and could not help but curse again and again, using vicious words.

It was as if he was cursing some mortal enemy, but what was strange was that the object of his curse was not the murderer of the Moxi Troupe, but the victims of this incident, the Moxi Troupe.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. The police chief immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, took a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement, and said: "Come in."

As his voice fell, a police officer wearing a senior detective uniform walked in, then closed the door, saluted the police chief, and said: "What you ordered has been done. The scene has been completely sealed off. All

Everyone who has come into contact has been given a gag order, and a separate area has been divided and they are not allowed to leave. In addition, the survivors of the Moxi Troupe have also been detained and are undergoing special interrogation. The result will probably be tonight."

"Very good!" The police chief breathed a sigh of relief, nodded approvingly, and then thought about it seriously and said, "Go to the church district immediately, contact the heresy punishment department there, and ask them to send someone to assist in the investigation.

This matter is obviously related to heretics and evil gods, and since it has been hidden for so many years, they also bear an unshirkable responsibility and are obliged to help us solve this matter."

"Yes." After hearing this, the police officer asked the police chief to sign an appointment order, and then left the office with the appointment order.

Not long after the police officer left, someone knocked on the door of the room again. After the police chief responded, a man wearing a butler's clothes walked in.

"Butler Langli, why are you here?" Seeing the butler, the police chief stood up quickly and asked.

The butler saluted the police chief and said, "The master asked me to invite the chief to come to the mansion."

The police chief frowned and asked, "It's about the Mosi Theater."

The housekeeper nodded and said: "Several others are also in the mansion now, and they have some questions that they need to ask the director."

The police chief hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the butler, turned around, picked up his coat, and left with the butler, boarding the carriage waiting outside the side door of the police station.

The carriage passed through half of the city of Nice and entered an area on the mountain side of the city where a large number of luxurious mansions were built. This area of ​​the city used to be called the Golden District because the World Bank of Nice was once located here, and the bank's large vault was also

it's here.

However, later, the World Bank in Nice went bankrupt and its business was divided into seven small banks. The bank headquarters and treasury were naturally moved to other places. This area was bought by real estate developers and built luxury houses because the name of the Golden District was too vulgar.

, so after the construction of this urban area was completed, some people wanted to change the name of the urban area, but there was never a suitable name, and the matter fell apart. In the end, there is still no official name.

However, because the people living here are the richest and most powerful people in Nice, the people also call this area the aristocratic area.

After the carriage entered the aristocratic area, it passed through several relatively quiet avenues and arrived in front of a rather luxurious manor.

Every inch of land in the city of Nice is precious, and there are only a handful of mansions with a manor like this in the entire city of Nice. From the golden shield badge at the gate of the manor, it can be seen that this mansion belongs to a descendant of one of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis War.

The carriage stopped outside the door. The attendant at the door stepped forward and opened the door. The butler and the police chief got out of the carriage and walked straight into the mansion without saying anything.

Under the leadership of the butler, the two quickly arrived at the small conference room located on the side of the main house of the mansion. After the butler opened the door, the police chief entered the room, and the butler closed the door.

I saw six people sitting in this room, two of them were very young, probably only in their twenties, and the other four were elderly. Among the two young people, one of them looked very similar to the portrait on the wall of the room.

, should be the owner of this mansion, and it is worth noting that these six people are all wearing a blood-red ceremonial ribbon, which means that the six people are descendants of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis.

Although only four of the twelve heroes of the Acropolis survived, six of them left descendants. The others either had no descendants or were church knights.

Although the descendants of these six Acropolis heroes do not hold very important positions in the city council and government of Nice, and most of them have only empty titles, the chambers of commerce under each of their names account for 70% of the Acropolis' business share.

This allows them to still have great influence in the city of Nice, and can even decide who can become the Speaker of the Parliament.

After seeing these six people, the police chief immediately saluted respectfully and then stood upright in front of them, waiting for their questions.

An old man among the six people first spoke in a deep voice and asked: "I just heard about the Moxi Troupe. Before I could feel sad about it, my people sent another news about the Moxi Troupe.

That news made me very angry, and I wanted to confirm, is that true? Are the things in the basement real?"

"Yes." The police chief knew very well that he should never lie or say unnecessary words at this time. Just answer honestly. So he told the report he had seen: "There is no accurate number yet, but just from the

Judging from the bones found on the surface, there are nearly two hundred. A passage was also found in the basement, which should lead to a larger secret room. There are more bones in it. All the bones are children, and none of them are.

Adults. We suspect..." He hesitated for a moment, then continued: "We suspect that these bones are the missing children that have not been solved over the years."

Hearing this, the six people present had angry expressions on their faces, and several of them were so angry that their hands were shaking. The reason why they were so angry was not just because of the missing and murdered children, but more importantly.

What's surprising is that there are children in their family who are on the missing list, and among them there are many brothers and sisters who are very close to a few of them, which has been a grudge between them for many years.

Because Nice is a city with a very large population flow. There is a mixture of people in the city. Cases of missing children happen almost every day. They are usually considered to have been kidnapped. Investigations often have no results, such as the heroes of the Acropolis.

When members of the family disappeared, even if various methods were used to investigate, there was still no result. Most people believed that it was the work of the enemies of the heroes of the Acropolis, such as those allied countries back then.

However, now that they have discovered that the source of the missing children is actually within the city, and is also related to the Twelve Heroes of the Acropolis, how can they not feel angry?

The owner of the mansion quickly calmed down and said through gritted teeth: "We will grant you the greatest investigative power, and our people will also cooperate with you in the investigation. We have only one request. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. No one can
