Lord of the Mysteries
Chapter 121
After hearing Klein’s and Frye’s guesses, Leonard tugged on his collar and paced about, saying, “Then we have to investigate everyone in the workhouse who came into contact with Salus, as well as everyone he came across after he went bankrupt and was chased out of the house. It’s very troublesome indeed… Time is of the essence. Let’s split up and do a cursory check here, then head to the third reported death in the West Borough and leave the rest to the police.”
“Alright,” Klein answered without hesitation.
Frye didn’t have any objections. He turned towards the people who had been sleeping near Salus last night.
Klein was about to find someone to question when he suddenly saw Leonard shooting looks at him. He was motioning at the side hall of the workhouse with his chin.
What does he want? Klein was a little lost. He acted as though nothing had happened and strolled around the hall, then followed Leonard into the side hall while Frye was distracted. They made their way through the partition to a silent corner which had no one else around.
“I have a hypothesis,” Leonard suddenly said, stopping in front of a shattered window.
Klein looked around in confusion. “What’s your hypothesis?”
Leonard with his deep green eyes, he returned a question, “If there were no supernatural factors, what do you think Mrs. Lauwis’s outcome would’ve been?”
Klein thought for a moment, then said solemnly, “The same, just delayed by a week or two, perhaps a month. But to a family like theirs, they would’ve only seen the doctor when she really was at her limit. As long as her heart problems turned for the worse, there would be no way for her to be saved.”
“Then what about Salus? If he hadn’t been instigated by someone, what kind of end would he have?” Leonard asked again.
Klein pondered and said, “From the description in the information, Salus was already very angry about his bankruptcy, and was furious that no one saved him. I think that he would’ve exacted his vengeance sooner or later, but not at the people at the workhouse. He might’ve targeted the boss that made him bankrupt or the staff of the bank that seized his house.”
“What would the result of his revenge be?” Leonard pressed on.
“Without a doubt, he had already decided to end his life. He would have died no matter what the result of his revenge was.” Klein gave an affirmative answer.
Leonard nodded and revealed his signature flippant smile.
“Then can we conclude that Mrs Lauwis and Salus were both people fated to die soon?
Klein was a ‘knowledgeable’ keyboard warrior. Upon hearing the question, he immediately had a guess.
“You’re saying that their deaths were moved forward by some supernatural factors? But why?”

Similarly, I hope that you’ll look at me with the same attitude. Of course, it’s best not to speak of this to the higher-ups.
