章節 70: The Labyrinth Murders, Part One

Joahna Moriarty sat at her desk, the soft glow of a single lamp casting shadows across the room. Her fingers tapped rhythmically on the wooden surface as she reviewed the details of her latest case. It was unlike any she had encountered before, both in its complexity and its sinister undertones.

The case had started with a simple missing person's report. A young woman named Beatrice Alcott had vanished without a trace from her apartment in the upscale district of New Albion. Her disappearance had sparked concern due to her high-profile status as the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Lord Alcott.

Joahna had been called in when the regular police hit a dead end. The apartment showed no signs of forced entry or struggle, and the security footage from the night of her disappearance revealed nothing unusual. Beatrice had simply walked into her apartment and vanished.
