"Yes...... Be! Hello officer! ”

The bank manager's eyes moved back and forth between the badge and Angel's face, as if he didn't quite believe that such a young woman was an inspector with a higher rank than the sheriff who ran the neighborhood.

Although he addressed Angel as "police officer," he did not answer questions.

"That person is involved in a homicide with a large number of fatalities, and he took a lot of bearer bonds and cash at the scene, I need to know the details of the transaction just now!"

Angel used the "persuasion" powers of the instigators.

The bank manager was still a little hesitant, but in the end, Angel was convinced with a serious expression.

He led Angel into the VIP reception room, sent the waiters inside, and closed the door.

"The gentleman was not named, but he held a number of large bonds issued by the Beckland Bank, all of which were bearer."

The manager took out a stack of beautifully printed bonds from the safe on the side and spread them out on the table.

The bonds bear a unique serial number, the head of King George III and the coat of arms of the Bank of Beckland, somewhat like enlarged gold pounds.

On the back side is the face value of the bond, the redemption period, and the agreed interest.

"These bonds are all of large denominations, with a face value of two hundred pounds each, with a five-year maturity and an interest rate of 4% per annum, but this gentleman demanded immediate redemption, so he would lose almost all the interest as agreed."

Sure enough, the purpose of this extraordinary person of the "Aurora Society" came to the bank was to redeem the bonds and get cash, and the money was easy to come by, and he didn't care about the loss at all.

The moment he recognized the other party just now, Angel almost wanted to pull out the "thirsty blood" under the cloak and press the "magic pocket watch" to attack, but he still stabilized his expression and movements under his strong willpower, and did not let this member of the "Aurora Club" find the clue.

The other party is an extraordinary person in Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5, and when he draws a gun, he is not called bravery, but is called death......

And in the bank, the people on the street will also be in danger because of her reckless behavior.

Retracting her thoughts, Angel looked back at the stack of bearer bonds in front of her.

"These bonds are exactly the same belongings that disappeared from the scene of the murder, and I need to bring them back to the police station to keep as evidence."

"No way!"

Even though Angel was wearing the inspector badge, even if the effect of "persuasion" was still there, the dedicated bank manager pressed his hand on the bond on the table and did not hesitate to say no.

"These are the assets of the Beckland Bank, each of them has a face value of two hundred pounds, a total of four thousand pounds, and even the redeemed bonds must be sent to the head office in Beckland for settlement and destruction. I will not hand them over to you unless you have formal orders, a notice from the head office. ”

Angel frowned at the conscientious manager, who she would normally praise for such good qualities, but when she needed to act cheaply, they often became an insurmountable obstacle.

"So what's the case...... Does the bank have a telegraph? ”

After thinking about it, Angel decided to ask for help instead of directly confronting the other party.

——————

As Angel finished his second cup of coffee in the VIP reception room, Dunn Smith and Klein Moretti, who had received the telegram, hurried to the bank, accompanied by the sheriff of the street.

Dunn wears a formal police uniform with a soft police cap and three silver six-pointed stars on his epaulettes. As the captain of the Tingen City squad and the Extraordinary of Sequence 7, Dunn is a Senior Inspector within the Ahowa County Police Department, while "Sequence 9" like Angel and Klein are merely Probationary Inspectors.

Compared with Angel in casual clothes, Dunn, who wore a police uniform and epaulettes, made the bank manager feel more uneasy, and he threw Angel in the reception room and greeted Dunn and others in the hall.

Angel took his coffee and watched Dunn through the open door and said a few words indifferently, the manager nodded repeatedly, and the accompanying sheriff pulled him aside.

Later, Dunn and Crane, who were also wearing police uniforms, walked into the reception room and closed the door casually.

"So, you came to the bank to deposit some money, and you met the wanted member of the 'Aurora Society'?"

Dunn unbuttoned the hem of his police uniform and sat down on the sofa opposite, looking at Angel with a smile in his gray eyes.

Klein directly took out the ritual knife and began to build a spiritual wall that closed the entire reception room.

"I didn't expect that he and I would pick the same bank at the same time, which is really ...... What a coincidence? ”

In the end, Angel felt a touch of uneasiness in her heart, and her speech slowed down, even with questions.

Hearing this word, Crane, who was circling along the wall, couldn't help but stop his movements and looked over. The two looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

More than two weeks after obtaining the information, more than half of the house with the "red chimney" has been searched, and the two have still not found the house in Klein's divination.

The pressure of being manipulated by others has always been hanging over them.

Dunn didn't notice the eye contact, instead flipping through the stack of valuable bonds on the table.

"I tried my best to convince the bank manager that he allowed us to do certain checks here that didn't hurt the bonds, but couldn't take them out of the bank."

"Well, I can guess, so I asked you to bring Klein and try to find his traces with divination, just in the afternoon the 'Red Glove' will come, so you can arrest him as soon as possible."

"You know the 'Red Gloves' are going to ...... Oh, it's Dalie, she asked you for leave this morning, saying that you accidentally touched your pocket watch and went into a negative state. ”

Dunn frowned at first, then said abruptly.

Dai Li, since you've met with the captain, why don't you just talk about it......

Angel looked at his captain and sighed secretly.

Crane closed the room, put away the ritual dagger, went to the table, and used candles to form an inverted triangle, symbolizing the goddess of the night, the mother of secrets, and himself.

After setting up the simple altar, he lit three candles with spiritual friction and poured a transparent liquid mixed with various herbal extracts into the candle flames, filling the entire reception room with a serene and tranquil aroma.

Then he sat down on the couch, leaned back, and leaned against the back of the couch into the dream.

Angel and Dunn didn't say anything, just watched the series of movements of the "soothsayer".

……

Waking up from the dream divination, Crane blew out the candle with a surprised expression, ending the ritual.

"The bonds were indeed obtained from the Plak family in the West Side, and I saw the corresponding fragment from the dream, after killing the Plack family, the bonds went to Wendell Street in the North Side, a single-family house, which should be easy to find, and then in order to exchange them for cash, this man came to the bank."

Crane wiped the sweat from his forehead, and in order to get as many clues as possible, he conducted a long dream divination, which was a huge drain on both spiritual and physical strength.

Angel handed over a warm, sugar-sweetened cup of coffee.

"Thank you," Klein took it, drank it down, and continued, "Whoever that house belonged to, it should have been occupied by the Aurora Society by now, I saw the upside-down humanoid statue, I saw the corpse, I saw the ......"

He paused for a moment before continuing.

“…… I saw another 'Aurora Society' oracle, she had long brown hair, was about thirty years old, and was known as 'Ms. D'. ”
