Chapter 731: Notorious
After greeting several of the officers who were keeping vigil in turn, Caitlyn entered the airtight archives with a kerosene lamp.
The air was filled with the smell of dust and ink, and it smelled chest-tight, so the first thing Caitlyn did when she came in was to open the window.
The cases recorded by the police department for decades were neatly stacked in the archives, and Caitlin focused her eyes on the classification of unsolved cases, took down a stack of documents with ease, patiently investigated and rummaged, and soon found clues related to the Golden Devil.
For many years, the notorious "Golden Devil" has been wreaking havoc in the southern mountains of Ionia. Locally in Zhiyun Province, the monster has killed hordes of travelers, sometimes destroying entire farmsteads, leaving only twisted corpses.
His terror caused panic throughout the province, but even as armed militias scoured the jungle, towns hired demon hunters, and Masters of Infinity patrolled every avenue, they could not stop his evil deeds in the slightest.
It wasn't until later that Master Kushuo took two disciples to conduct a long investigation that lasted for four years, and then imprisoned the Golden Demon in Saleng Prison.
And now, this terrifying golden demon has been released again because of Takeda's methods.
After regaining his freedom, he mastered new weapons, and the evil deeds of the Golden Demon began to be seen in many foreign dignitaries, no longer limited to Ionia.
Seeing this, Caitlin was secretly frightened.
It's no wonder that the Pitt garrison has a file of Ionian criminals, as the killer has become internationally notorious.
She began to feel a headache, it had taken four years for others to catch the Golden Devil, and the time she had reserved for herself was only three days, and if the Golden Demon wanted to escape, she would definitely not have time to arrest him.
And for now, his killing will not stop, and he must seize the opportunity.
In addition, Caitlin also discovers a change in the Golden Devil's modus operandi.
Before being imprisoned, the Golden Demon used knives to kill people, and later turned into guns and mechanisms, which are called new weapons.
Maybe it was the time of incarceration that caused him to undergo some kind of metamorphosis? The modus operandi has also become more up-to-date?
As far as she knew, there was little circulation of firearms in Ionia. And now that this kind of firearm that can shoot the effect of smoke grenades appears in the hands of the Golden Devil, it is very likely that people like Takeda brought the principle of the firearm to Ionia, and then asked the master smith to make a localized transformation, which gave the Golden Devil more of this terrifying weapon in his hands.
The only good news is that despite the Golden Devil's cruel methods, he is still an ordinary person who can't do magic in nature, and is not an invincible existence.
Just as Caitlyn looked away from the last line of writing, she saw a familiar blue light hitting the bookshelf beside her, and she could be sure it was a pair of blue eyes looking at her from the window.
"Is it Jeno?" Caitlin turned around, and sure enough, there was a figure standing outside the window, but because of the backlight, she couldn't tell the identity of the other party for a while.
"It seems that you already have some understanding of the murderer." The man spoke, a cold, magnetic female voice that disappointed Catelyn.
Her most hated voice is the flying vigilante in front of her who is above the law.
"Breaking into the police station in the middle of the night, what do you want to do?!" Caitlyn unceremoniously set up her sniper rifle and pointed it at the window, but the Gray Lady had slipped into the blind spot behind the window.
"It's pretty quick to change faces, and if I told you the killer was targeting me, would you shoot again?"
Lady Grey's voice came from outside the window, shocking Catelyn.
Although I don't want to admit it, Lady Gray is indeed the most powerful killer in the Twin Cities, and her body has undergone a powerful enhancement transformation; And no matter how powerful the Golden Demon is, he is only a mortal, will he be killed if he is assassinated in this way? Only a madman would accept this task!
But if you think about it according to the words of the Gray Lady, then the logic of the Golden Devil's behavior may be able to explain it.
Although the process was bumpy, Jeno had repeatedly broken Takeda Saito's plan before, and washed his lair with the blood of Lady Gray, so he couldn't help but hate Philos, so it made sense to send killers to assassinate Camille and Jeno.
Because the target is also a killer hiding in the shadows, he will continue to create panicked killings against public figures, until Piltover's supreme command Gray Madame is lured out.
This also explains why the Golden Devil attacked him in the afternoon, because Sheriff Picheng is an absolute public figure, and if the Sheriff is also assassinated, then the whole city will inevitably fall into panic, and it will be difficult for Lady Gray to sit still anymore.
And the miserable maid in the piano room was just a bait to seduce herself.
Seeing that Caitlin was speechless by her own words, Camille outside the window finally reminded her: "Miss Sheriff, Jeno is coming back in the next two days, he doesn't want you to meddle in this matter, just leave the murderer to me to deal with." With that said, I wish you a nice evening. ”
"How can it be none of my business, I'm using my future to vouch for you Philos!"
Caitlin heard the sound of a hook and a winch, put down her gun and hurriedly poked her face out of the window, ignoring the fact that her beloved hat was squeezed off by the window frame, and looked up at the roof, but the Gray Lady was nowhere to be seen.
"Give me back! Since you're so nosy, then I'll let you be the sheriff! ”
It's been countless times, every time she pursues the truth, she always finds that someone is one step ahead of her to show the bloody reality in front of her, and whenever she has a sense of disparity that her previous hard work has been in vain.
She understands the difference between being caught by her and being caught by the Gray Lady, which is nothing more than one going to prison alive and stepping into hell when he dies, and the Gray Lady often kills those who are unforgivable if they die tragically.
But shouldn't the law be created to be followed? If there are imperfections, can't they be corrected? In this way, the law is used as a tool to restrict the people, so that personal norms are above the law, and the criminals cannot be brought to justice, so what police are needed?
She has held this position for so long because she doesn't want the police department to be completely reduced to a tool for the clans to clean up the mess.
After a fussful outpouring of anger, Caitlyn angrily withdrew her gaze, picked up her hat, dusted off the dust, and put it on her head.
The more I think about it, the more angry I become, let her stop it, this Jeno treats her as a casual person?
This has disappeared for more than half a year, and now she dares to let others give orders to her head before she comes back, is it really that she Caitlin only knows how to do things according to the rules and has no temper?
Now, she, Caitlyn, was going to be herself, against their big family! Within her authority, she Caitlin wants to catch a murderer, and no one wants to restrict her!
