Chapter 69: The Situation Is Abnormal
Inside the Knight's Intelligence Stronghold.
Cass took a sip of chilled whiskey and gave his guesses and thoughts:
"Connecting all the information that we've got so far...... It was all premeditated. ”
The reason why Cass can become the captain is because of his leadership and strength, and his insight and analysis of events are not bad.
The current clues are enough to connect them together and deduce some 'conspiracy' that has surfaced.
"The death of the Baker family was a 'deliberate suicide'.
A member of the Baker family, who is proficient in the arts, controls the homeless by using his sorcery, killing his entire family in one night.
There is only one purpose.
It is to attract the attention of the local security bureau.
The Bakers are almost 'aristocratic' on London Street, and the search of the mansion must be done with all their might...... As a result, a large number of vigilantes are involved.
In order to achieve the purpose of 'attracting a large number of people to the interior of the mansion for a period of time'.
And then through some kind of evil means, they are controlled.
Only one vigilante with strong willpower tried to resist, but his ordinary human spirit and body alone could not compete with evil thoughts, resulting in a sudden death at home that night.
It should be noted that it is the security officers who are controlled.
Killing two birds with one stone, the police station was controlled, and it was able to conceal this matter to a certain extent, so that the truth of the matter would not reach the church and the knights in a short time.
Of course, if something so big happened to the Baker family, the eyes of the Knights must be secretly watching, and the Public Security Bureau will not give all false information.
Therefore, a 'ghost case' based on the oral accounts of nearby residents was given and reported to the church with some real information.
Let the Knights decide that this event will not be too difficult, and leave it to the probationary knight.
And we happen to be the team that 'won the lottery'. ”
Cass's speculation based on current clues and intelligence is convincing.
Someone is clearly behind all this...... But the purpose of the other party is not clear.
"What is the purpose of controlling a large number of ordinary people?"
When Kosling asked this sentence, Sophia on the side seemed to realize something and stood up nervously:
"We can't continue the discussion here, we have to report the situation and let the Knights block the police station! All suspected controlled personnel are to be taken to the church for baptism.
I...... I had a very ominous premonition. ”
Han Dong glanced at Sophia, who put her hands on her chest because she was nervous.
Actually, Han Dong also feels this way...... It's a very bad feeling.
Cass, as the captain, didn't take into account the seriousness of the matter.
"Fia and I were not attacked at the police station, and we did not have enough strong evidence, but only subjectively judged that something was wrong with the security officers.
It is based on personal speculation alone, and there is no real evidence to provide to the Order.
They will not be reckless in going out to block the local security station, which will affect the morale of the people...... In the absence of evidence, at most 1~2 knights will investigate as ordinary people.
If there is no problem with the police substation, but just an abnormal reaction of the staff who are too stressed, I will be severely punished.
Moreover, the Public Security Bureau may also be prepared to deal with the ordinary knight investigation team...... It would be better to have evidence that the Order will completely lock down the police station.
Let's get evidence from the 'medical examination report'. ”
That's when it happened.
Han Dong took out the 'diary' that had been stored in his backpack for a long time.
That's right, the very diary that plunged Kosling into deep pollution.
It should record what the security officer who died suddenly saw and heard when he investigated the Baker mansion that day, as well as what happened to him and his psychological activities before his death...... It may be a powerful piece of evidence. ”
"Hmm."
But...... Now there's a problem.
How to view your diary.
You know, when Kosling was wearing goggles to watch, the lenses shattered on the spot.
Although Han Dong is not affected, he can read it as much as he wants, but he can't reveal his secrets.
"This secret knight intelligence station should be provided with higher-strength "goggles...... Fia, with your Light protection, it's up to you to read, right? ”
"Hmm!"
When she feels that she is being demanded by Cass, Fia is not afraid of any danger.
After a while, Cass brought a special pair of "goggles", heavy and huge, which were simply thickened to increase the resistance to pollution, which was not easy to carry on weekdays.
Fia took out the Staff of Destiny and tapped it lightly on her forehead.
Circles of golden light spread out in the center of his eyebrows, increasing his resistance to 'pollution'.
The reading of the diary officially began.
In the process, Fia went through multiple spells to maintain the intensity of the light.
When you read some strange words, there will be black and filthy tears flowing from the corners of your eyes, and they will evaporate instantly when they fall to the ground.
Syllable!
Close the journal.
By the time she finished reading, Fia's whole body was steaming white, and her whole body looked extremely weak.
Cass stepped forward for the first time and hugged the other party, "Fia...... Okay? ”
"Brother Cass doesn't care about me...... Hurriedly! Hurry up and give the diary to the people of the Order and let them move...... It was already written in the diary that half of the security officers were currently in Baker's house! All saw something weird.
It is a source of contamination that is 'susceptible'.
Possible...... It's really related to evil witchcraft. ”
"Good!"
Give it only to the 'courier' in the knight's intelligence stronghold, and the other party will quickly deliver the evidence to the higher-ups.
Just wait for the Knight HQ to make the decision to 'change this bounty'.
Cass estimated that his party would receive a bounty directly, and then the Knights would take over and deal with the matter.
Twenty minutes passed.
A staff member of the intelligence station came to Cass and the others' room.
"Thanks to the important information, you can directly receive 40% of the original bounty reward.
The bounty quest [Ghost Case on the Streets of London] has been changed to [Baker Family's Mysterious Witchcraft Event], and the execution scale has been changed to a three-star assistance mission.
You will be led by a regular knight to purge the Baker family. ”
Cass was taken aback: "Assistance missions? ”
The staff replied: "It was a decision made from above...... Because of the gravity of the situation, it must be resolved by at least one knight. ”
"What about the fallen police station??"
"The Sheriff's Substation has been fully suppressed by a knight operating in the vicinity...... However, the security officer in question had left half an hour earlier and had not been able to make an arrest.
Based on resident feedback from 37th Street.
Fifteen minutes ago, the security guards who had left the shift and their families all entered the Baker mansion. ”
"What!? Bring your family in!? How many people are there? ”
"At least two hundred or more."
The situation has become more serious than expected......
