Chapter 235: Theft and Renewal

It turned out that I just lost something... I was shocked!
Looking at the director's office that had been ransacked by who knows who, Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after the false alarm. Then he looked at Senior Jerry, who had "lied about military intelligence," in silence.

After receiving the note from Senior Jerry, Leon was worried that something serious had really happened, so he stopped the carriage that was only halfway there, and without even asking for the remaining fare, he hurried into the alley, got on the witch's broom, and flew back to the bureau under the cover of night.

After rushing back, they found that it was just a false alarm. Except that the director's office seemed to have been robbed, nothing unusual happened.

Come to think of it...

When he and Senior Jerry left, there was no one else in the bureau. Princess Wang and Anna, who were temporarily staying in the bureau, had already returned to the Happy Apartment in advance. Apart from losing some things, it was unlikely that anything else would happen.

“Leon, this time it’s not just as simple as throwing something away.”

Noticing that Leon seemed relieved, Senior Jerry couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then pointed to the pile of empty bottles in the office and said solemnly:

"Look over there. The thief who sneaked in when no one was in the police station must be very skilled!"

Hearing Senior Jerry's words, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled. After following Senior Jerry's guidance and finding the "target", his expression instantly became serious.

There was nothing else. A few long, beautiful red hairs were lying in a pile of wine bottles, trying hard to float up. However, they were like people without bones. No matter how hard they tried, they could only twist slightly and could not "stand" up from the ground at all...

This is the director’s hair!
As a powerful anomaly numbered 013, these [Bloody Blood Hairs] were somewhat weak, unlike the enhanced one on his body, one of which was enough to block the God of Enlightenment who wanted to escape.

But even if it is not an enhanced type, it is still part of a numbered-level anomaly. Not to mention how powerful it is, its status has definitely surpassed the threshold of a true god. At the very least, a second or third-level cleaner cannot handle it.

The person who was able to deal with these hairs is estimated to be about the same level as Senior Emma, and should be a first-level cleaner. If he is not careful, he can also easily deal with himself and Senior Jerry!
This means that if Jerry and I hadn't gone to find Prince Freckles and were moved to the headquarters by Xinggong, we would have run into this incredibly powerful thief! If my enhanced hair couldn't withstand the opponent's ability...

That's doomed!
……

"Honestly, I owe you this time."

Looking at the red hair fluttering on the ground, Senior Jerry couldn't help but take a deep breath and said to Leon with some lingering fear:

"If you hadn't suggested going to find the prince and insisted that I go with you, I would definitely have stayed in the police station by myself. If this thief was a cruel person, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."

You're not the only one who almost died...

After entering the director's office and carefully checking it, Leon found half a bloody handprint on the edge of the windowsill. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If I hadn't been careful enough and let Princess and Anna go back to Happy Apartment when I left the Cleanup Bureau, who knows if they would have been in danger.

And because of his "excessive caution", not only were there no casualties, but there was even another good news.

Following the direction of the bloody handprint, Leon found a large amount of blood spurting out on the outer wall of the office building and in the bushes outside the window. His tense expression suddenly relaxed slightly. Although this thief was strong enough to subdue the director's hair, he was not unscathed. He must have been severely cut by [Blood Hair Killer] several times. Judging from the horrible amount of bleeding around him, he probably lost half of his life. He should not have to worry about his return in the short term.

As for the origin and purpose of this thief...

Standing two meters away, using the power of the [Holy Spirit Pendant] to carefully flip through the director's drawer, Leon couldn't help but reveal a look of understanding on his face.

Sure enough, the "fake photo" copied by the director had been taken away by someone.

It seems that the Aquarius director, who is used to taking multiple insurances, found a way to transfer Senior Emma away. Not only did he arrange for the middle-aged Joshua to be a backup, he also arranged for another group of people to come and pick up the photos.

It is estimated that Director Aquarius's original plan might be to let the thief temporarily deal with the director's possible backup plan, and then have the middle-aged Joshua take the photo, and then the two of them use the Gate to escape quickly, completing the theft without any harm.

It's just that he caught the middle-aged Joshua in advance and stood up the thief. He waited for Joshua for a long time but he didn't see him. Seeing that there was no one guarding the Cleanup Bureau, he broke into the director's office and found the photos in the drawer. He paid the price of being almost killed by these hairs and exceeded the task assigned by Aquarius Director.

Unfortunately, what he took away were just fake photos prepared by the director, so the thief's trip was in vain.

Controlling the palm formed by the [Holy Spirit Pendant], Leon picked up a few bloody hairs that fell in the bushes outside the window, and put them together with the ones on the wine bottles. Then he turned his head to look at Jerry beside him and asked tentatively:
"Senior Jerry, can your friends..."

"I can't find it."

Knowing what Leon wanted to say, Senior Jerry shook his head and said helplessly:
"This person probably has something abnormal that can process smells. Anything will lose its smell once it leaves the body, even the blood. After the ants followed the blood trail for two blocks, they could no longer find his whereabouts."

Indeed... I really didn't smell anything when I first came in, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed the hair on the floor.

Leon went to the window and sniffed slightly. He found that even with the horrific amount of bleeding outside, there was still no smell of blood. He couldn't help but sigh and gave up the plan of catching the thief while he was seriously injured.

Since this thief is so well prepared, we can only wait for the director to come back. I hope that these two days will be peaceful and nothing will go wrong again... Oh, by the way, I have to go to the post office opposite the Sun tomorrow to help her renew the newspaper subscription.

After shaking his head helplessly, Leon opened the side box of the director's desk, rummaged through the file area, and took out all the newspapers and magazines inside.

The Sun, The Daily News, The Royal Mail…

"Focus on Beauty", "Weapons Industry", "Wine Traveler", "Little Thoughts of Boys"...

These should be the newspapers and magazines that the director asked me to renew for her... um... wait!
After flipping through a thick stack of newspapers, Leon found that only a few pages of The Sun had been cut, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

If I remember correctly, the places where these newspapers were cut seem to be exactly the places where I took photos when I published them twice?
